Seducing my Ex-husband back Chapter 147
THE CLEANUP CREW~DAVID'S POV~I stepped over the threshold, my boots sticking slightly to the floor.Brad Sterling lay face down on his expensive Persian rug, a halo of dark blood rising around his head. The bronze statue Richard had used—a heavy, modernist abstract piece—lay dumped next to him."What the hell happened?" I demanded, my voice tight.Richard shrugged, wiping a splatter of blood from his cheek with the back of his hand. It just spread it further."He tried to attack me," Richard said, his tone conversational, as if we were discussing a change in stock prices. "I asked him a simple question. I asked where Monica was. The bastard knew, David. I saw it in his eyes. He smirked at me. So I... corrected his attitude."I ran a hand through my hair, gripping the strands tight enough to hurt. "Is that the reason you killed him? Because he smirked?""Relax," Richard scoffed, walking over to the sidebar. "He's not dead. He's just dramatic."I looked at Richard, who was now casual

THE BASTARD'S LUCK~DAVID'S POV~"Fold."I tossed my cards onto the green felt table, watching the dealer rake in my chips for the third time in twenty minutes. Fifty thousand dollars. Gone.I signaled the waitress for another scotch, my jaw tight.When did this start again? The gambling? The need to bleed money just to feel something? It reminded me of college. Back then, I would squander the hush money my father sent me just to spite him. I would burn through thousands in a night, trying to fill the void where a family was supposed to be.I looked at the whiskey swirling in my glass.I was the mistake. The illegitimate son. My mother had taken Thomas Blackwood's payoff the moment the ink was dry on the check, leaving her three-year-old son behind like a piece of luggage she didn't want to pay the fee for. My nanny was the only mother I ever knew. She was paid to care, but at least she showed up.And then... there was Claire.I closed my eyes, the casino noise fading into a dull ro

THE ART OF THE LIE~CLAIRE'S POV~I waited for the explosion. I waited for Alexander to demand to know exactly what Eleanor had said, or to storm out and hunt her down.Instead, he just sighed. It was a long, exhausted sound that seemed to rattle in his chest. He shoved both hands deep into his trouser pockets, rocking back on his heels."Why was she here in the first place?" he asked, his voice deceptively calm.I blinked, thrown off balance by the question. "I don't know. She said she came to visit my mother. To bring flowers.""And how did she know your mother was in the hospital?"I opened my mouth to answer, then closed it. I frowned. "I... I don't know. I was too busy trying to process what she was spouting about you to ask about logistics."I ran a hand through my hair, frustration spiking. "It's New York, Alexander. People talk. My father probably told someone at his club, or a nurse recognized the name. Things aren't exactly well-hidden in this city.""No," Alexander said dar

DIRTY HANDS~ALEXANDER'S POV~Playing dirty wasn't just a tactic I learned; it was my first language.I checked my watch as the black SUV idled outside the unassuming warehouse on the outskirts of Queens. 6:00 PM. I had promised to pick Claire up for dinner at seven. That gave me exactly one hour to break a man who had held out for weeks."Status on the Sterlings?" I asked Ilynos as he opened my door."Quiet, sir," Ilynos reported, his face grim. "Brad Sterling goes to the office, comes home. Annette goes to the gym, goes to Darla's. They look clean.""They aren't clean," I muttered, buttoning my jacket. "They just know how to hide the dirt. Keep watching them."I walked into the warehouse. The air changed instantly—from the exhaust of the city to the metallic tang of rust, old oil, and fear.Ilynos led me to the back room. Inside, Owen Sinclair sat zip-tied to a heavy steel chair. He looked... reduced. His designer clothes were ruined, his face bruised and unshaven. He had been h

THE QUEEN OF NOTHING~MONICA'S POV~The plastic bag from the corner store dug into my fingers, heavy with cheap canned food and bottled water.I kept my head down, the hood of my black sweatshirt pulled low over my forehead. My hair....once a glossy, expensive blonde bob....was now a jagged, box-dyed black mess that smelled like chemicals. I looked like a shadow. I felt like a rat.A car backfired on the main road.I flinched so hard I nearly dropped the bag, my heart blasting against my ribs. I whipped my head around, scanning the street. Was it Richard? Was it Alexander's security team? Calm down, I told myself. You're a ghost.I turned the corner toward the motel, walking fast.BAM.A shoulder slammed into mine. I stumbled, losing my grip on the bag. It hit the ground with a wet crunch. A bottle of juice burst, soaking the box of crackers."Watch where you're going, lady!" a man shouted, not even breaking stride."You watch where...." I started to bark, but the words died in my t

THE PRODIGAL SON~RICHARD'S POV~The glass doors of Blackwood Industries slid open with a soft whoosh—a sound I used to associate with power, with arriving at my kingdom. Now, it just sounded like an insult.I stopped in the lobby, staring at the security guards who refused to make eye contact with me."I'm not doing this," I muttered, turning to leave. "Alistair made it clear. I'm out. Walking back in here like a petitioner is pathetic.""It's not pathetic, Richard. It's strategic." David blocked my path, his hand firm on my shoulder. He looked infuriatingly calm in his navy suit, while I felt like I was wearing a costume of the man I used to be. "You can't keep avoiding him. You need to show the old man you aren't the same broken mess he fired last week."I scoffed, shaking his hand off. "I am exactly the same mess, David. Just with less money and more rage. And with Monica's reputation dragging me down? Alistair won't risk putting me back on the board. He cares about the stock pr
