THE EX-WIFE MAKES A COMEBACK Chapter 67
(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

(Daniel's POV)Emma was on the swings when my phone buzzed.It was Sunday afternoon and I'd picked her up from Serena's that morning like I did every week now. We'd been at the park for an hour and she'd already gone down the slide countless times and was now demanding I push her higher on the swings.I pulled out my phone and saw that it was a text from Lena: “I'm free now, you can call.”I pocketed it back and pushed Emma higher. I had even forgotten I texted her earlier asking if we could talk."More!" Emma shouted."If I go any higher and you'll go over the top.""I want to go over the top!""Your dad would kill me."She laughed and I kept pushing until she got tired of the swings and moved on to the climbing structure. Then I used the opportunity to escape and called Lena back."Your CFO thinks I'm Julian," I said when she picked up.There was a pause. "What did you do?""Nothing. That's the point,” I ruffled my hair, trying to hide my frustration.Lena was quiet for a moment. I

(Elena's POV)"The integration timeline seems aggressive."I said during the quarterly planning meeting without looking up from the document in front of me. Daniel was presenting Hart Industries' post-acquisition integration data to the BioGen board, and I'd been listening for the last twenty minutes while taking notes that I didn't really need because I'd already read the entire report twice."It's ambitious, not aggressive. The infrastructure is already in place. We're not building from scratch,” he replied, without pausing."Still. Q2 to Q3 leaves very little margin for complications.""I've accounted for complications in the emergency planning. It's on page seven."I flipped to page seven even though I already knew what was there. He had accounted for it, of a truth.This has been my life for the last six months. Daniel in London for meetings. Me representing BioGen at industry events where Hart Industries also had a presence. Emails back and forth about partnerships, projections

(Lena's POV)"Ms. Blackwood, your eleven o'clock appointment is here."The receptionist said through my phone while I was finishing up notes from the previous meeting. I was at Thornton & Associates, the law firm BioGen now used for all our corporate matters. Today was supposed to be a contract review with our lawyers about the Germany partnership terms."I'll be right there," I said.I gathered my documents and walked out of the small conference room they'd set me up in. The corridor was quiet except for the sound of my heels on the floor.I turned the corner toward the main lobby and the person I saw was the last person I expected. Adrian Cole was standing near the reception desk talking to someone. He was wearing a dark suit, with no tie, and he looked different. Not older, but he looked more settled.The restless energy that had characterized everything about him back then was gone. He moved now, like someone who'd stopped trying to control everything and had made peace with that

(Lena's POV)"They're ready to meet."Elena announced over the phone. She had called an hour later, and I was still at the lab. It was past seven in the evening and most of the team had gone home, but I still had to finish up the task. "When?" I asked."Tomorrow morning by Ten o'clock. I've arranged meetings with two journalists — one from The Guardian, one from Financial Times. They’re both credible. And will do their jobs properly.""Good. You'll handle it.""You're not coming?" She asked, surprised."No. You know what to do.""You're sure about this? Once we hand over that file—”"Elena, hand them the documentation. Tell them the facts are the facts and we're not asking for commentary or opinion. We're just making sure the public record is complete. That's all.""Alright. I'll call you after."I hung up and returned to work. That mattered more than whatever Elena was doing tomorrow morning.***The next day I arrived at the lab by seven.Dr. Obi was already there running tests whe

(Serena's POV)"Where's daddy?"Emma asked one evening while I was making her dinner. I was making toast with jam cut into triangles because that's the only way she'd eat it lately.I looked down at her. She was sitting at the table with her coloring book, a purple crayon in her hand, looking up at me with her expressive blue eyes.Then an idea hit me."Hold on, baby."I put the knife down and grabbed my phone from the counter. Opened the camera, and pressed record."Emma, sweetheart, can you ask that again?"She looked up at me from her coloring book, purple crayon still in her hand, her eyes questioning. I signaled her to talk. "Where's daddy?"Perfect."And when's he coming…” I nudged.She repeated it. "When is he coming?"I stopped recording and gave her a thumbs up.***I posted the video an hour later with the caption: “Some days are harder than others.”And by evening it had two million views.The comments came trooped in so fast. Thousands of people expressed their sympathy, a
