THE BILLIONAIRE WHO THREW AWAY HIS VIRGIN WIFE Chapter 42
Elena’s povI woke to daylight and the sound of someone moving dishes in the kitchen.For a few seconds I lay still, waiting for the familiar residue of a broken night, the 2 a.m. wake-up, the hour of staring at the ceiling, the thin sleep that followed. None of it came. The last thing I remembered was turning off the light. Then in the morning.I reached for my phone. 7:12 a.m.I had slept through the night.The realization landed quietly, almost carefully, as if it might disappear if I looked at it too hard. I sat up and pressed my feet to the floor. My body felt different. Heavier in a good way. Rested. The constant low fatigue that had lived behind my eyes for months was simply… thinner.I found Mom in the kitchen. She glanced over her shoulder.“You’re up later than usual.”“I slept.” I heard how plain the words sounded and still couldn’t find better ones. “All the way through. No waking up. No sitting in the dark. I turned off the light and then it was morning.”Mom set the pl

Elena’s povI was leaving the office when my phone rang. Marcus Voss. I stopped on the sidewalk and answered on the third ring.“Marcus.”“Elena. Do you have a minute?”“A short one.”He didn’t waste time. “I’m calling to ask whether you’re open to any communication at all. From this side. Not necessarily from Alexander directly. From me. From the family. About the past or anything connected to it.”The question was careful. Testing the ground without stepping fully onto it.“No,” I said.A short silence. “Just no.”“Just no.” I shifted my bag higher on my shoulder. “I’ve been clear every time we’ve spoken. I don’t want updates. I don’t want questions. I don’t want to be pulled back into a process that already took enough from me.”“I’m not trying to pull you back.”“Then respect the answer.”Marcus exhaled. “I am. I just needed to hear it stated plainly one more time. Things on this end are… less settled than they were. I wanted to know if any door was open before I closed the subjec

Elena’s povWe were walking back from the café on Thursday when Daniel stopped at the corner and nodded toward the street.“I’m driving. I’ll take you home.”“You don’t have to. The train is fine.”“It’s late. And it’s started raining.” He glanced up at the dark sky. “I’d rather not have you waiting on the platform for this.”I pulled my jacket tighter. The rain was light but steady. “I’ve taken the train worse. It’s not a long walk from the station.”“I know. I’d still rather drive you.”Something in the way he said it landed wrong. Not sharp. Just tighter than usual.“Daniel. I can get myself home.”He looked at me for a second. “I’m not saying you can’t. I’m saying I have a car and it’s raining and it would take me ten minutes.”“And I’m saying I don’t need to be managed.”The word came out harder than I intended. We stood under the edge of the café’s awning while people moved past us with umbrellas. The easy rhythm of the evening had shifted.Daniel exhaled. “That’s not what this

Elena’s povI was scrolling through my phone on the train home when the thought arrived without warning.I hadn’t searched his name in a week.I lowered the phone and stared at the dark reflection in the window. The city moved past in broken lines of light. For months the habit had been automatic, late at night, early in the morning, in the empty space after a difficult day. A quick search. A glance at whatever the public version of his life was doing. Proof that the world had kept turning without me in it. Or proof that it hadn’t. I was never sure which one I was looking for.Tonight I realized the impulse had simply… stopped.I opened the browser history on my phone and scrolled back. Seven days. No search for his name. No quiet check of business headlines. No late-night look at the old article that still used the word amicable. Nothing.The train slowed into my station. I put the phone away and walked home with the realization sitting lightly in my chest, like something I was sti

Elena’s povI was reviewing a client summary at my desk when an unfamiliar number lit up my phone. I almost let it go. Then I answered.“Elena Hart?”A man’s voice, precise and careful. “Yes.”“This is Jonathan Hale. I handle private document review for Mr. Voss’s office. I apologize for the direct contact. I was asked to request clarification on one item from a set of records connected to your former address and a clinic intake form dated several weeks prior to your marriage. This is not a legal notice. It’s an internal verification.”I sat back slowly. “He’s looking at the file again.”A short pause. “Mr. Voss requested a quiet re-examination of the timestamp and the originating system on that particular form. He framed it as due diligence. I was told to keep the inquiry limited and informal.”“Due diligence,” I repeated. “On papers he already used to end a marriage.”“I’m only relaying the request. If you have any independent record that would confirm or correct the date format, I

Elena’s povWe were at the café again on Tuesday, the one with the uneven tables and the decent coffee. The late-afternoon light came in through the front windows in long, dusty strips, catching on the glass pastry case and the metal edge of the counter. Somewhere behind the espresso machine a low hiss of steam rose and faded. The place smelled like roasted beans and warm sugar. The conversation had been easy for the first half hour, work, a delayed project on his end, the fact that the library heating system still clicked after eight. Then the quiet stretched a little longer than usual, and I knew if I didn’t say something now, I would keep carrying the unspoken weight between us.I set my cup down. The ceramic was still warm against my fingers.“Can I tell you something without it becoming a long conversation?”Daniel looked up. His expression stayed open, patient. The light from the window cut across the side of his face. “Yes.”I held the words for a second, checking that I sti
