Chapter 27: Everything He Kept

(Dominic POV)

After the call from Zara, I didn’t move for a long time. I just stood there with the phone still in my hand even after the screen went dark, like if I kept holding it long enough the moment would rearrange itself into something easier. It didn’t. It stayed the same. Her voice had been steady but there was something underneath it I couldn’t ignore, that careful way she asked questions like she already knew the answers m

  • Sweetest Revenge : falling for my ex's father    Chapter 38 : What Zara Heard

    Chapter 38 : What Zara Heard(Zara POV)I don’t say anything about it that night.Not to Jane when we get back from the shop. Not when she starts unpacking the bags like the day is still normal. Not when she makes tea and tries to talk about something lighter, something that doesn’t sit heavy in the air between us.I keep it in my head.The same way I always do when something feels too fragile to touch immediately.Keisha’s voice.The way she said it.“The baby is Ryan’s.”Not loud. Not emotional. Just firm enough that anyone listening from outside would believe it without question.But I was there. I heard what came after, and that part doesn’t match.Jane notices I’m quiet, of course she does. She always notices. But she doesn’t push it at first. She just watches me while pretending to be busy, like she’s giving me space on purpose.It only changes later that night.

  • 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
