Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father Chapter 37 : The Restroom
Chapter 37 : The Restroom(Zara POV)By the time we step into the next store, something in me has settled into a different kind of focus. The earlier tension with Keisha hasn’t disappeared, but it has shifted shape. It is no longer loud in my head. It is quieter now, sharper, sitting somewhere behind my ribs where I can reach for it when I need to think clearly. Jane is beside me, moving through racks with that easy curiosity she has, touching fabrics, flipping tags, holding things up against me without asking because she already knows how I see clothes before I say it out loud.We move from one section to another without rushing. I am not shopping for myself anymore, not really. I am looking for ideas, for combinations, for textures that can translate into the styling brief sitting unfinished on my laptop. I pause at a display of structured blazers, running my fingers along the seam of one in a deep charcoal shade, already thinking about how it would sit
Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father Chapter 36 : The Bag War
Chapter 36 : The Bag War(Zara POV)We leave the dresses behind and drift into accessories, the kind of slow wandering that looks casual but isn’t. I touch a few scarves, glance at jewellery I don’t really need, and let Jane talk about a pair of earrings she insists would “change my life,” even though we both know she says that about everything shiny.“You don’t even wear earrings like that,” I tell her.“I could start,” she replies immediately. “Growth is important.”I huff a small laugh and move on.The bag section is toward the back, arranged neatly on glass shelves with soft lighting that makes everything look more expensive than it actually is. I slow down without meaning to. Bags are different. They’re not just something you wear once and forget. They stay with you. They follow you into meetings, into rooms where people are already deciding what they think of you before you even speak.I scan the shelf on
Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father Chapter 35 : Shopping With Jane
Chapter 35 : Shopping With Jane(Zara POV)Saturday felt like the first quiet day I had in a while , the kind that doesn’t come with a deadline or a problem waiting at the end of it. Jane dragged me out of the apartment before I could talk myself into staying back to “finish just one more thing,” which usually turned into three hours and a headache. She said I needed air, and honestly, she wasn’t wrong.We didn’t go out for anything specific. No list, no target. Just walking from one shop to another, touching fabrics, pulling things off racks, talking about nothing and everything at the same time. It helped me think. Screens never did that for me. I needed to see things in real life, the way colors sat next to each other, how fabric moved when you held it, how something felt before it even made sense in your head.“You’ve been too serious this week,” Jane said as we stepped into the third shop. “It’s not healthy.”“I’ve been working,
Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father Chapter 34 : Claire Tightens
Chapter 34 : Claire Tightens(Zara POV)Two days after Vivienne’s comment, I stopped reacting and started paying attention properly.Not the obvious things meant to be seen. The small ones. The kind that slip past if you’re not looking for them. I kept track of everything without making it visible, messages, timing, who spoke to who before something changed, who suddenly had information they weren’t supposed to have yet. I didn’t confront anyone. I didn’t ask questions that would make people defensive. I just watched and stayed quiet.It wasn’t new to me. I had learned early that silence isn’t weakness if you know how to use it. Sometimes it’s the only way to understand what’s really happening before you move.By Wednesday afternoon, the pattern was clear.Vivienne wasn’t working alone.She was just the easiest part to see.The real pressure was coming from somewhere else and I found out exactly where later
Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father Chapter 33 : The New Enemy
Chapter 33 : The New Enemy(Zara POV)By the time I got home after seeing Dominic, I already knew he was trying to handle something bigger than what he was saying out loud. It wasn’t just the words he chose. It was the careful way he spoke on that call before I left, the way his voice shifted slightly when he mentioned Marcus again. He had said that name more than once before, always in a tone that made it clear the man wasn’t just an employee or a colleague, but someone he trusted enough to carry pieces of his world he couldn’t handle alone. For a brief second I caught myself wondering what kind of man Marcus was, and what kind of world Dominic had built that required people like that to keep it standing. The thought lingered longer than I expected before I pushed it aside and focused on what was right in front of me.Monday morning came faster than I wanted it to. The moment I stepped into the office, I could feel it. Not loud or obvious, but t
Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father Chapter 32 : Three Days
Chapter 32 : Three Days(Dominic POV)By the time Zara arrives, I already know something is wrong.It’s not the kind of knowing that comes from a call or a message. It’s the kind that comes from the way she walks in, the slight pause at the door, the way she steadies herself before stepping inside, like she’s carrying weight she doesn’t want to drop on me too quickly.I meet her halfway.I don’t ask questions immediately. I just pull her into me.She doesn’t resist. Her arms come up and wrap around my waist, hands pressing against my back like she needs the contact as much as I do. I hold her tighter than usual, breathing in the familiar scent of her hair, feeling the tension in her shoulders slowly ease against my chest.“I missed you,” I murmur against her temple, the words slipping out before I can stop them.She lets out a small breath, almost a laugh, but it’s soft and tired. “It’s only been a d
