(Serena's POV)

The email from Emma's preschool had arrived two weeks ago.

“Annual Holiday Performance - December 20th at 2pm. All families are welcome. Children will need costumes. Please see the attached list for your child's assigned role.”

I'd opened the attachment and skimmed down to Emma's name.

“Emma Hart - Star”

A star. Great. That meant I needed to make a star costume.

I'd spent three evenings at my kitchen table with cardboard and aluminum foil and a hot glue gun that kept burning my f

  • THE EX-WIFE MAKES A COMEBACK    Chapter 131

    (Lena's POV)Two thousand women were looking at me.I stood at the podium with the microphone clipped to my dress and the speech in my hand even though I'd decided not to read from it.The introduction was over. The host had walked off stage, now it was just me and the crowd and the words I'd been practicing for weeks.I looked down at Charlotte in the front row. She was on Adrian's lap, chewing on her rabbit. Completely unaware that her mother was about to talk about her in front of thousands of people.I took a breath and started talking."My name is Dr. Lena Blackwood. Over 7 years ago I didn't exist. I was someone else with a different name living a different life. Then I erased myself. Changed everything, and started over from nothing."The room was quiet."I came to London with one suitcase and no plan. Built a company called BioGen Dynamics. Hired brilliant people. Developed treatments that actually help patients. Took on a pharmaceutical company that had hurt thousands of wome

    (Elena's POV)I decided to surprise Daniel with lunch. It's been a month since our wedding and the butterflies in my belly have not stopped moving one bit.He'd been working late all week. Coming home after eight most nights, and stressed about the pitch he was preparing.So I picked up sandwiches from the cafeteria near his office and drove over to see him.Jennifer looked up when I walked in. "Mrs. Hart. He's in his office. Go ahead.""Thanks, Jennifer."I walked past Jennifer's desk toward Daniel's office. There was someone sitting at a desk that hadn't been there the last time I visited. A young woman. Early twenties, judging from her look, and working on her computer.She looked up. "Can I help you?""I'm here to see Daniel.""Oh! You must be Mrs. Hart. I'm Janelle. The new intern."My brain immediately did a recap as I recalled Daniel had mentioned her.She stood up, and extended her hand.I shook it and noticed immediately what she was wearing.The skirt was short. Not obscenel

    (Daniel's POV)(A month later…)A knock sounded on my office door at nine thirty.“Come in,” I called out, not bothering to look up.Jennifer, my secretary, walked in. “Good morning, Mr Hart. The new intern is here," she said. "The HR team sent her up for introductions."I looked up from the report I'd been reviewing, frowning slightly. "Already? I thought orientation was next week.""They moved it up. Something about her class schedule conflicting. Do you want me to send her in?""Sure."Jennifer disappeared and came back a few minutes later with a young woman who looked barely out of her teens."Mr. Hart, this is Janelle Manning. She'll be interning with us this summer."The girl stepped forward and extended her hand. "Thank you so much for this opportunity, Mr. Hart. I can't tell you how much it means to me."I shook her hand. "Call me Daniel. And you're welcome. Jennifer, can you give us a few minutes?""Of course."Jennifer left and Jnelle stood there looking nervous. She was dre

    (Serena's POV)The kettle clicked off, signaling the water was ready.I took hold of it and poured some water into my mug. The flat was quiet. Emma had left with Julian an hour ago for their weekend together. She'd been talking nonstop about going to the zoo. Julian had promised her they'd see the penguins. And I was happy I got to taste and savor my tea instead of hurriedly gulping it down between Emma's breakfast and getting her ready for school.I took my tea to the living room and set it on the coffee table.Two full days alone. Forty-eight hours of silence and space and nothing to do except what I wanted.Four years ago this would have sent me into a panic. The empty flat. The silence. No one needing me. I would have filled the time with noise. TV on in the background. Music playing. Anything to avoid sitting alone with myself.Now I just sat down on the couch with my tea.My laptop was on the cushion next to me. I opened it and pulled up my email.The message was still there.

    (Julian's POV)"It's been four months since your last appointment."Dr. Morrison was looking at her notes, and I was sitting in my usual spot."I know," I said."Any particular reason?""Things have been good. Stable. I didn't feel like I needed to come in as often.""That's actually a positive sign. But I'm curious what's been happening. Catch me up."I settled back comfortably on the chair. "Emma started Grade one. Real school now. She's doing well. Likes her new teacher and made friends already.""That's wonderful.""The consulting firm is steady. Not growing dramatically but really profitable. I'm not working sixty-hour weeks anymore.""How does that feel?""Good. Strange at first. I kept thinking I should be doing more. But I'm not. And things are fine anyway.""What else?""I moved to a better neighborhood. More parks. Good school district. Emma has her own space."Dr. Morrison wrote something. "That's a significant change.""It needed to happen. The old place was fine but this

    (Elena's POV)(...Four months later…)"Stop moving."Lena chided, her hands in my hair again. We were in the bridal suite at the venue Daniel and I had booked. Small place in Kensington. Garden ceremony and dinner reception inside. Just like I wanted.In case you, my darling readers are not aware, it's my wedding day!Today, I tie the nuptial knot with my heartthrob, Daniel Hart."I'm not moving," I defended."Yes, you are.""Because you're taking forever with my hair.""I'm taking my time. There's a difference."Charlotte was on the floor playing with the hem of my dress. She'd been following me around all morning. Toddling after me wherever I went. Almost a year old now and walking like she'd been doing it forever."Charlotte, don't pull that," Lena said without looking down.Charlotte let go immediately and went back to playing with her stuffed rabbit instead."How much longer?" I asked."Five more minutes. Maybe ten.""Lena.""Do you want to look good or do you want me to rush?""

    (Lena's POV)My hands wouldn't stop shaking.I was in the hotel bathroom staring at them under the running water. They'd been fine during the press conference and after I left.But now, twenty minutes later in the bathroom of the restaurant Adrian had brought me to, they were shaking like I'd just

    (Lena's POV)Adrian's hotel room was cozy and had a good view of the New York night.I stood there looking out at it with my arms wrapped around myself. Not because I was cold. The room was warm. But because I needed something to do with my hands.Behind me I heard Adrian set down his key card on t

    (Evelyn's POV)I'd never painted a wall before in my life, and it showed in the painting I made in the living room. Some parts were slightly uneven and there was a patch near the window where I'd gone back to twice and it still looked different from the rest. The man at the shop had called the co
