(Lena's POV)

(Three months…)

I almost dropped the wine glass.

We were at Adrian's apartment again. The third time that week, and I'd been reaching for my glass on the coffee table when my hand shook slightly and missed it. He caught it before it tipped completely.

"Thanks," I said.

"Good reflexes," he said, setting it safely on a table mat.

We'd been doing this for three months now. Dinners, museums, dates. His apartment where he cooked things that were better than they had any right to be. Lon

  • THE EX-WIFE MAKES A COMEBACK    Chapter 95

    (Lena's POV)Dr. Tanaka's hands were shaking when he opened the file.We were all in the conference room at BioGen. The entire research team, no one was left out. Elena was sitting to my right taking notes even though this wasn't that kind of meeting, but trust my woman to. Dr. Obi sat across from me."The Phase 2 results are in," Dr. Tanaka announced.Nobody breathed, as we all stared at her, not knowing what to expect.He took a deep breath before opening the folder. One could tell how nervous he was. Then he started reading. His voice was steady for the first two paragraphs. Listing numbers, percentages and statistical significance.Then his voice cracked, and rose higher."Seventy-three percent of participants showed measurable improvement in motor function. Sixty-eight percent reported decreased muscle deterioration. The control group showed—" He stopped, and cleared his throat. "The control group showed expected disease progression."Dr. Obi gasped and put her hand over her mout

    (Elena's POV"You're going to burn it."Daniel didn't look up. "I'm not going to burn it.”It was Sunday. A rare one where neither of us had work emergencies or family obligations to attend to. Daniel had shown up at my flat at ten in the morning with a bag full of groceries and announced he was making breakfast.I'd been skeptical. Daniel's cooking skills were not exactly good. Disastrous, if I was being honest.But he'd been insistent. So now I was sitting on my kitchen counter watching him attempt to make scrambled eggs while the pan smoked."The heat's too high. You need to turn it down.""The heat is fine.""It's literally smoking.""That's just—" He stopped, and looked down at the pan. "Okay it might be slightly burnt."I pressed my lips together to stop from smiling. Then I watched him poke at whatever was in the pan with increasing concern."Don't say it," he said without looking at me."I didn't say anything.""But you're thinking about it.”"I'm not thinking about anything."

    (Julian's POV)I was at Emma's swimming lesson when my phone beeped with a news alert.The pool waiting area was full of other parents. Most of them are scrolling their phones, and a few are watching their kids through the observation window.I've been checking work emails, and trying to stay on top of things even though I'd officially stepped back from most Hart Industries operations.The Guardian notification appeared at the top of my screen."Pharmaceutical Company Hid Pregnancy Drug Risks, Court Documents Show"I almost dismissed it and kept scrolling through emails about board meeting schedules.But something made me click. The article loaded, and I read the first paragraph. The second too, and I had to go back and reread the third because my brain refused to process what I was seeing.The drug name. It was the one Evelyn's doctor had prescribed when she was so sick during the first trimester she couldn't stop vomiting. The medication she'd taken for six weeks because the doctor

    (Raymond's POV)I got to know about the news during my lunch period.I was sitting in the chemistry lab prep room eating a turkey sandwich when Joyce Martinez, a fellow teacher burst through the door with her phone held out like a weapon."Raymond, have you seen this?" She didn't wait for me to answer first and just shoved the screen in my face. "That popular pharmaceutical company. The pregnancy drug scandal. They knew about the miscarriage risks and hid it."I took her phone carefully, and read the headline. Instantly, almost every muscle in my body locked up."Pharmaceutical Giant Suppressed Data on Pregnancy Drug Risks, Court Documents Reveal"The article loaded slowly, and each paragraph appearing felt like a death sentence.There was the company name, and the drug name. References to internal research teams and clinical trials from 2015 to 2017. Exactly when I'd been there."Can you believe it?" Joyce was still talking and pacing the small prep room. "All those women who lost ba

    (Lena's POV)The filing went public on a Tuesday morning at nine forty-seven A.m.I was in a board meeting explaining Q4 budget allocations when Elena slipped into the room. She tried to be as quiet as possible and walked to where I was sitting at the head of the table and placed a folded piece of paper next to my laptop.I glanced down at it while Dr. Tanaka was responding to a question about research equipment costs.“It's live. Thank court documents are public. The press already has it.”I read it once, and felt something shift in my chest but kept my expression neutral. I folded the note carefully and slipped it into my jacket pocket.And then went right back to talking about budget projections like nothing happened.The meeting lasted another forty-three minutes. When we finally adjourned I walked calmly back to my office. Elena was already there when I walked in. Sitting at my desk with her laptop open and her phone in her hand."Show me," I said.She turned the screen toward m

    (Lena's POV)We barely made it through his bedroom door before his hands were pulling my shirt over my head.I helped him with his, buttons flying around and fabric hitting the floor. Neither of us are patient enough to do it properly.He backed me toward the bed, and I let him. I felt the mattress hit the back of my knees and sat down hard.He followed me down, his mouth on mine. Hands everywhere at once.This wasn't like the other time. This time was different. No hesitation, and no part of me waiting for something to go wrong.Just him and me and the certainty that we'd chosen this and each other.I pulled him closer and he obeyed willingly. He settled his weight on me carefully.His mouth moved to my neck, and found that spot just below my ear that made my breath catch. He knew exactly where it was now. He had learned my body and I was impressed.I leaned into him. He responded by pressing me flat against the mattress. One hand sliding up my side, his thumb brushing the underside

    (Evelyn's POV)It's funny how the best people in our lives are mostly those we met in the most unlikely situations.Elena and I spent the rest of the night strategizing, sprawled across my living room floor with laptops, notebooks, and wine glasses that kept getting refilled."Okay, let's talk numb

    (Adrian's POV)Adrian arrived at Greystone Cafe fifteen minutes early. He'd rehearsed what to say at least a hundred times during the night, and had barely slept. Then he'd rehearsed again in the shower, while getting dressed, and even in the car on his way there. Yet, none of it had sounded right.

    (Evelyn's POV)"If I wanted to control you, I would have told you all of this from the beginning." Adrian said, his voice taking a defensive and sharp tone. "I would have made you dependent on me. Instead, I gave you independence—""That was all built on lies!" I retorted."No, built on a foundatio
