THE EX-WIFE MAKES A COMEBACK Chapter 72
(Lena's POV)"You're not seriously going, are you?”Elena said, while standing in my office doorway like a bodyguard.I was putting on my coat. The pimple patch was gone, finally, but I'd woken up with a headache that three aspirins hadn't fixed. "I'm going now.""Lena. This is a setup.""It's lunch with a dying man.""It's lunch with Adrian's dying father who is going to spend two hours explaining why you should give his son another chance."I picked up my bag and checked that I had everything. Phone. Wallet. Keys. The letter was still in my desk drawer where I'd left it after reading it after reading it again this morning. I just wanted to be sure, just in case."Then I'll listen politely and leave," I said."You're going to regret this.""Probably. But I'm still going."She was holding two coffees. She handed me one with a look that said she thought I was making a terrible decision but can't physically stop me. I know she'd, if she could."Text me if you need an emergency exit call

(Lena's POV)I woke up this morning feeling like death itself.My period had started overnight. Two days early, because my body loved chaos, and the cramps were already saying hello. I forced myself out of bed and into the shower, then spent several minutes staring at my reflection in the bathroom mirror.A massive pimple had appeared on my left cheek. Looking bright red and angry. The kind that showed up specifically to ruin your week."Perfect," I muttered. “Just perfect.”I found pimple patches in the drawer and stuck one on. Then I got dressed, forced cereals down my throat, took two painkillers, and headed to the office trying to convince myself that looking like a teenager with a patch on my face didn't look so bad. I hope I don't get spotted by the paparazzi, though.The cramps got worse in transit. By the time I walked into BioGen I was seriously considering just working from the bathroom floor for the rest of the day.But Elena knocked on my office door around nine-thirty and

(Adrian's POV)The house looked exactly the same as it had, the last time I visited.The same stone walls. Same perfectly maintained garden that my father paid someone to keep up because he couldn't manage it himself anymore. Same brass knocker on the front door that I'd used since I was tall enough to reach it.I parked in the driveway and sat there for a moment before going in.My father had called yesterday asking me to come by. Which was kinda unusual. We usually met anywhere but home. We had dinner together most Sundays when I was in town. But something in his voice had sounded different this time. I let myself in with my key. "Dad?""In the study,” The butler announced.I found him in his usual chair by the window. The one he'd been spending more time in over the last six months. He was reading something on his tablet, his reading glasses perched on his nose.He looked up when I walked in. "Adrian. You're here. Good, sit."I sat in the chair next to him. It was the same chair I

(Lena's POV)"This came through the legal department this morning."Elena said, dropping a folder on my desk while I was reviewing the latest ALS trial data. It was early. Just past seven and the lab was still quiet.I picked up the folder and opened it.“CONFIDENTIAL PROPOSAL: MERGER DISCUSSION BETWEEN HART INDUSTRIES AND BIOGEN DYNAMICS.”I read the first page. Then the second. Then I put it down and looked at Elena."Hart Industries wishes to propose a merger," I said flatly."That's what it says."I picked it up again and read through the executive summary. The proposal was professionally written, outlining potential synergies between Hart's biotech division and BioGen's research capabilities. Market projections. Integration timelines. Revenue forecasts. All of it was signed by Julian's legal team."This is not about biotech," Elena said."Obviously.""What do you want to do?"I closed the folder and looked at her directly. "I want to make him regret asking."***I spent the next

(Elena's POV)"I need to go home."I said minutes later, while Daniel was still reading his document like we had all morning to relax.He looked up. "What time is your first meeting?""Ten. But I need to shower and change at my place and—" I gestured at yesterday's clothes that I'd pulled back on."Right." He stood and found his phone. "I'll have breakfast sent up. What do you want?""I'm not staying for breakfast.""Elena." He looked at me over his reading glasses. "You're staying for breakfast."And breakfast I stayed.***An hour later I was back in my flat in Shoreditch, standing in front of the mirror trying to look like a professional human being who hadn't spent the entire night having her vaginal pummeled. Ewww!Unable to keep it down, I called Lena while dressing up."It happened,” I squeaked like a teenage girl who just got her cherry popped by her hockey star crush."I know," she said blankly.I stopped in between buttoning my chest. "Wait…what? How do you know?""Daniel te

(Elena's POV)We were standing too far apart in the room, like people observing social distance.I'd stepped inside and Daniel closed the door and now we were both just standing, while I fiddled with my fingers clueless on why the hell I even asked to come in.I could just take a walk of shame and leave. Lie I had something to do at the Lab. Anything. Anything to escape this awkwardness.While I was still contemplating, he suddenly broke the silence."For the record, I've never texted Camille."I looked up at him sharply."I've barely spoken to Camille beyond that dinner," he continued. "I was thinking about something you said about the expansion model the entire time she was talking."I stared at him. "Seriously?"He nodded and put the document down on the desk and took off his reading glasses."I've been thinking about things you've said in meetings for about fourteen months," he added. "In case you were wondering.”The air in the room changed, and I suddenly felt warm. I continued
