Brenda’s POV

I had spent the better part of the morning staring at the photographs on my phone, and every time I looked at them, my irritation grew.

Janelle Sterling was everywhere.

Her face appeared on business magazines, fashion blogs, and entertainment pages. Her name was mentioned in conversations that had nothing to do with her, and Sterling House employees spoke about her as though she were some extraordinary woman who had single-handedly rescued the company from ruin.

It was exhausting.

  • Sorry, Ex-husband You Lost Me    Chapter 130

    Richard's POV The moment I heard footsteps approaching the office door, I knew our meeting had taken a dangerous turn. I had spent years keeping certain things buried, convincing myself that the past would remain untouched as long as Victor and I maintained our silence. However, Janelle Sterling had become a problem neither of us could control, and now the consequences of our decisions were standing directly in front of me. Zane moved closer to Janelle, positioning himself between her and the door. I noticed the way his expression hardened as he studied the handle, while Janelle held the photographs I had placed on the table. "Who is outside?" Zane demanded. I looked towards the door before returning my attention to him. "That is precisely what I am trying to figure out." "You mean you invited us here without knowing whether someone was following you?" "I didn't invite anyone. I arranged this meeting because I have information your wife needs, and I made sure nobody knew where I

    Kennedy’s POV I had never imagined that watching Janelle build a life without me would affect me this much. When our marriage ended, I convinced myself that I had made the right decision. I believed she would eventually realize that leaving me had been the biggest mistake of her life, and that she would come crawling back when she understood she had nowhere else to go. Instead, she had become someone I barely recognized. The woman I once dismissed was now the CEO of Sterling House, a position I had always believed should have been beyond her reach. She had married my younger brother, and from everything I could see, she was genuinely happy with him. It was an outcome I had never considered possible, and the more I tried to ignore it, the more it bothered me. I sat in my car outside a restaurant, staring at the photograph my investigator had sent me. Janelle was standing beside Zane, and his hand rested comfortably against her back as they entered a building. There was nothing parti

Her name was mentioned in conversations that had nothing to do with her, and Sterling House employees spoke about her as though she were some extraordinary woman who had single-handedly rescued the company from ruin.It was exhausting.A few months ago, Janelle had been the woman everyone pitied. She was Kennedy's abandoned wife, the woman whose marriage had fallen apart because she could not give him what he wanted. People had whispered about her appearance, laughed behind her back, and treated her like someone who had nothing valuable to offer.Now, she was the CEO of Sterling House, married to Zane, and receiving the kind of attention I had always believed should belong to me.I tossed my phone onto the sofa and reached for

    Zane's POVI didn't trust Richard Kensington, and the fact that he had suddenly agreed to meet Janelle made me even more suspicious.For years, the man had controlled Sterling House while hiding behind his position as general manager. He had watched Janelle investigate her mother's death, interfered with her attempts to uncover the company's missing records, and maintained a suspicious relationship with Victor. Now that we had discovered his name on her mother's letter, he wanted a private meeting.It was too convenient.I stood beside the bedroom window, watching the security personnel move around the property while Janelle slept. She had barely rested the previous night, and I had no intention of waking her before necessary. The events of the past few days had taken a toll on her, even though she continued to insist that she was fine.I knew my wife well enough to recognize when she was pretending.My phone vibrated, and I glanced at the screen. It was a message from my investigator

  • Sorry, Ex-husband You Lost Me    Chapter 126

    Janelle’s POVI couldn't stop staring at Richard Kensington's name.The faint impression on my mother's letter had been easy to overlook, but now that I had noticed it, I couldn't understand how I had missed it before. Richard had been part of Sterling House for years, and his relationship with my father had always seemed complicated, yet I had never imagined he might have been involved in whatever happened on the night my mother died.Now I was beginning to wonder whether I had ever truly known any of the people who claimed to care about my family."Janelle, sweetheart, look at me."Zane's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned toward him and realized that my fingers were trembling so badly that the letter was beginning to crumple again.He gently took the paper from my hands, smoothed it across his knee, and returned it to me."We're going to find out what Richard knows, but I need you to breathe before you work yourself into another panic. You've been through enough today, an

    Janelle’s POVThe crash outside the study was followed by the unmistakable sound of someone shouting orders.Zane immediately pulled me behind him, his fingers closing firmly around mine while he scanned the room for another exit. I clutched my mother's letter against my chest, terrified that if I loosened my grip, someone would take away the only thing she had left me."What is happening?" I demanded, turning toward my father.Victor had gone pale. He stood beside the window, staring at his phone as another message appeared on the screen."They've come for the letter," he whispered.My stomach dropped. "Who are they, Dad? The Order? Are these the same people who attacked us yesterday?"He looked at me with an expression I had never seen before, an expression that made him appear older and far more frightened than I had ever imagined him capable of being."Yes. They know you've started investigating Adrian, and now they know you've seen your mother's letter. If they believe you've dis
