THE BILLIONAIRE WHO THREW AWAY HIS VIRGIN WIFE Chapter 50
Elena’s pov“I still can’t believe we bought this much fruit,” I said, shifting the grocery bag against my hip as Daniel unlocked his apartment door.“You said you wanted options for breakfast.” He pushed the door open with his shoulder. “Options have volume.”His place was exactly what I expected once I saw it properly, clean lines, too many project rolls on the dining table, a kitchen that looked used rather than displayed. I set the bags down and started unpacking while he put water on for coffee. There was no performance in any of it. No careful hosting. Just two people putting groceries away on a Saturday morning.“You don’t have to rearrange your shelves for me,” I said when he moved a stack of bowls.“I’m not. You’re taller than the last person who helped me unload groceries, and that was Isabella, who complains when she has to stretch.”“So this is logistics.”“Everything is logistics if you let it be.”We made eggs and toast and ate at the counter because the table was cove

Elena’s povI was leaving therapy when Marcus’s number appeared on my phone. I almost let it go to voicemail. Then I answered.“Marcus.”“I know you asked me not to call about the past,” he said. “This isn’t a request. It’s information. You can hang up after you if you want.”I stopped on the sidewalk. “Make it brief.”“Alexander was in his office last night going through the file again. Alone. One of the assistants heard him say your name out loud while he was looking at the clinic pages. Not in the clipped way he says it in meetings. Differently. Like the name still had weight he hadn’t accounted for.”I closed my eyes for a second. “Why are you telling me this?”“Because it unsettled the person who heard it. And because it unsettled me when it was reported back. He’s been framing everything as diligence and verification. Hearing your name like that doesn’t sound like diligence. It sounds like something he hasn’t buried as cleanly as he pretends.”“That sounds like his problem.”“

Elena’s povI didn’t call anyone.I didn’t draft a message to Mom. I didn’t text Daniel. I didn’t walk over to Rachel’s desk and ask her to talk me into or out of it. I sat at my own desk on Wednesday morning with Helen’s deadline in my calendar and the same question I had been carrying for two days.If the past had never happened, would I want this job?Yes.I opened a new email, wrote three clear sentences, and sent it before I could turn the decision into a committee meeting in my head.Helen replied within twenty minutes.Good. I’ll start the transition paperwork. Proud to have you in the role.I read the message twice, locked my phone, and only then felt the full weight of what I had done. I had accepted a larger life without asking permission from the people who loved me and without borrowing certainty from anyone else.Rachel appeared at my desk twenty minutes later. “You look like someone who either broke up with a spreadsheet or made a life decision.”“I took the job.”She

Elena’s povMy manager, Helen, closed the office door before she sat down. That alone was enough to put me on alert.“I’ll keep this direct,” she said. “The firm is expanding the east district advisory team. We need a lead analyst for the client strategy track. Your work on Mercer and the follow-up reports put you at the top of the internal list. I’d like to put your name forward.”I stared at her for a second. “Lead analyst.”“Yes. More responsibility. More client-facing work. A clear step up in scope and compensation.”She folded her hands. “It also means more visibility. Presentations. Cross-team meetings. Your name is attached to recommendations that travel further than internal memos.”The word visibility landed harder than the rest.“How long do I have to decide?”“End of the week. I don’t need a performance either way. I

Elena’s povDaniel had warned me she might show up.We were at the café near the library, halfway through a quiet Thursday, when the door opened and Isabella Reyes walked in like she had an appointment neither of us had approved. She stopped at our table, took in the empty third chair, and sat.“Don’t look so tense,” she said to Daniel. “I’m not here to interrogate anyone. I’m here to do this properly.”Daniel exhaled. “Isabella.”“You mentioned her. I met her five minutes ago. That doesn’t count.” She turned to me and extended a hand across the table. “Isabella. Officially this time.”I shook it. “Elena.”“I know.” Her gaze was direct without being unkind. “You’re the reason my brother’s Thursday nights became non-negotiable. I wanted to see the person attached to that change without the drive-by

Elena’s povI was packing up at my desk when my phone rang with a number I didn’t recognize. I almost ignored it. Then I answered.“Elena Hart?”A woman’s voice, professional and clipped. “Yes.”“This is Priya Shah. We spoke once before regarding an internal records request.I apologize for the second contact.I was instructed to inform you that a technical review of one timestamp on the clinic intake form has returned an inconsistency.The originating system cannot verify the date format as recorded. Mr. Voss has been notified. This call is a courtesy only, since your name appears in the file.”I sat down slowly. “He’s getting reports now.”“A preliminary technical note,” she said carefully. “The finding is limited. One timestamp. The rest of the file has not been reopened for full review.My understa
