(Nathanial)

The sand is wet from the tide. We sit on it anyway.

I don't say anything for a while.

Natasha doesn't either.

Far down the beach there's a dog running in circles, barking joyfully.

For a minute I envy that dog with everything in me.

I try to think.

Can't.

My brain keeps starting sentences and abandoning them.

The man I grew up believing was my father, is not my father.

The man whose name I have was my father.

My mother slept with my grandfather.

For thirteen years.

  • She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife   Chapter 253 The Universe Has Notes

    (Chase)"Your nervous system thinks you're being chased by a lion," Chloe says."All day. Every day. That's the not-sleeping. Your body's been screaming at you and you've had it on mute."I'm on a floor cushion in an apartment that smells like incense and burnt oranges, holding a mug of something brown she's promised me isn't coffee and is, in fact, "the opposite of coffee, energetically."After tasting it I suspect it may just be muddy water.I’ve made a terrible mistake.I came here on my own two feet. Nobody made me. I have to keep reminding myself of this."Mute," I say."Mute. Oh my God, completely."She lowers herself onto the cushion across from me, still as lithe as a willow, even with the tiny bump."Most powerful men I meet are running on cortisol and spite. You can hear it. Your voice sits up here."She taps her throat."It should sit down here."She taps her belly, which is round now, which I am being very normal about.Some of this is insane. I'd like that on the record.

  • She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife   Chapter 252 Baby Stories

    (Natasha)"When did she start doing that? The pinch. Thumb and finger."Gloria catches the soggy puff Lily hands her like she's been entrusted with something priceless."Is that early? That feels early."Gloria is on my living room floor.Gloria, who once renegotiated a deal in heels at two in the morning and never once sat down, is folded onto my rug in a skirt that costs more than the rug, letting my daughter feed her wet snacks."It's normal," I say. "She's a baby. They all do it.""She's clearly advanced.""She ate a sticker this morning. Off the floor. With genuine relish.""Adventurous palate," Gloria says, without hesitation, and offers Lily her thumb to gum.From the good armchair, Taylor cracks one eye open."Gloria. You're scaring the woman in her own home.""I'm admiring the baby," Gloria says defensively."You're inhaling the baby. You've sniffed her head twice since you got here. I'm keeping a tally.""Once.""Twice. I don't miss things."Taylor sinks deeper into the chai

  • She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife   Chapter 251 The Likeness

    (Natasha)"Chin down," the painter says.Mr Warren, please relax your shoulders. You're sitting like you're waiting for bad news."Chase drops them half an inch.They climb straight back up.We've been at this twenty minutes.Lily has escaped twice, and eaten a tube of cadmium something the man swears is non-toxic.She’s now decided the one thing she wants in this life is the floor.Having my painting done is not something I ever imagined myself doing.I said yes for reasons I haven't fully explained to myself, never mind to him.Eleanor seemed so vulnerable when she brought it up, and that’s half of why I agreed.The rest was Chase across the dinner table, already building the little speech that lets me off the hook.He was so used to me saying no to anything that hinted at permanence between him and me, that he was braced for a no.I’m tired of being the wife who won’t.So. Here we are. Oils. A Thursday. Holding still.I’m somewhat regretting my agreement in the moment.I was expect

  • She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife   Chapter 250 Thirty-One

    (Chase)"Before you make the face," my mother says, "It's already paid for. So the face won't save you.""I'm not making a face.""You're loading one. I can see the spring."I’m at the birthday dinner my mother insisted on throwing me for a birthday I don’t want to celebrate.Lily's in the high chair my mother keeps here now, along with a crib, stroller, and a standing set of opinions about all three.Lily’s turning a breadstick into paste with great focus.Natasha's across from me wearing most of Lily's last course on one shoulder and beyond caring.The glamour of parenthood cannot be overstated."What did you do?" I ask."I commissioned a portrait of the three of you. An oil painting, done by a proper artist. The man's very good and very booked, and he's coming Thursday as a favor to me. So no one at this table is allowed to be difficult about it."She says no one and looks straight at me.Then, for half a second, she pointedly doesn't look at Natasha, which is its own kind of looki

  • She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife   Chapter 249 The Honeymoon Nobody Booked

    (Julian)My wife has decided Natasha is her favorite of my people.Which is inconvenient, Natasha being the woman I... well. We don't need to relitigate that.But Taylor likes her, and Taylor likes very few things she can't set on fire.So when she announced we were having lunch with Natasha, I put on a good suit and accepted it.She orders the second-most-expensive bottle of wine on the list.She makes a point of not ordering the most expensive."The most expensive one is a tourist trap," she tells the sommelier, who is nodding along and looking enchanted.My wife is a very dangerous woman."A man who orders the top bottle is admitting he doesn’t know anything about wine and can only read the price."I know how this ends, by the way.She told me at a blackjack table before I knew her middle name.Cancer. No chemo. A clock she's decided not to wind.I married her anyway. Or because of it. I've stopped trying to separate the two.What I've decided is simple.I don't pay any attention t

  • She Was Never Just the Billionaire’s Wife   Chapter 248 The Beach

    (Sonia)Liam shows up at the beach in a jacket that's wrong for every season at once, holding a paper bag gone see-through with butter."You drove ninety minutes to bring me croissants.""They're from the good place. The one by the pier."He pushes the bag at me."You weren't answering your phone.""And that didn’t make you think I don’t want to talk to anyone?"He drops onto the sand next to me anyway, uninvited, the way he does everything.I tell myself it’s not charming.I nibble on the croissant he hands me.The good place really is the good place. I was in Paris for months and this is the best croissant I’ve ever had.I don't tell him that. He doesn’t need the encouragement.He pulls out the stupid vape he’s so attached to and takes a pull, staring at the horizon like he's in a cologne ad.He's twenty.He thinks he’s being subtly broody and sexy."That thing is vile.""It's calming.""It smells like a candle had sex with a candy bar."He shakes his head like I’m being ridiculous.
