BRENDA'S POV

I was sitting on the couch with my legs tucked beneath me, munching on cookies while scrolling through my phone when it pinged with a notification.

I barely glanced at it at first.

Then I saw the sender.

Sterling House.

My hand stopped halfway to my mouth.

I frowned and opened the email.

The first few lines looked harmless enough. Corporate language. Formal greetings. The kind of polished nonsense companies used when they wanted to deliver bad news without actually sounding cruel.

  • Sorry, Ex-husband You Lost Me    Chapter 132

    Zane's POVFor several seconds, I couldn't bring myself to respond.I stared at Thomas, waiting for him to take back what he had just said, but his expression remained unchanged. My father had been connected to Janelle's mother's death, and although I had spent years believing I understood the kind of man he was, I had never imagined he could be involved in something like this."Are you certain about what you're saying?" I finally asked.Thomas nodded. "Leonard Jones was at the records facility that night. Your father was one of the people who helped Victor manage the situation after your wife's mother collapsed."I felt Janelle's fingers close around my hand."Why would my father help Victor?" I asked. "What did he have to gain from any of this?""That is a question you should ask him. I can only tell you what I know. Leonard and Victor had business arrangements that went beyond ordinary investments. They were both connected to the Order, and your father had reasons for ensuring that

    Janelle's POVFor several seconds, nobody spoke.I stared at the photograph Richard's visitor had placed on the table, trying to make sense of what I was seeing. My father stood outside the old Sterling House records facility, wearing the same dark suit he had worn in the photographs Richard had shown us earlier. Beside him was a woman whose face I recognized immediately, although I had not seen her in years."Who is she?" I asked.The man studied me before answering. "Her name is Evelyn Shaw. She worked in your father's private office for many years."I looked at the photograph again. "I remember her. She was my father's personal secretary when I was younger. I thought she had left Sterling House.""She did leave eventually, but not before becoming involved in matters she should never have known about."Richard shifted uncomfortably in his chair. "Why are you here, Thomas?"The man turned towards him. "You know exactly why I'm here. You have been warned repeatedly to stay out of this

  • 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

  • Sorry, Ex-husband You Lost Me    Chapter 129

    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

    Brenda’s POVI 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.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

  • Sorry, Ex-husband You Lost Me    Chapter 127

    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
