(Lena's POV)

I stared at the phone number Elena had gotten for me.

Leslie Hales. The Guardian. It was a direct mobile number written in Elena's neat handwriting on a sticky note stuck to my desk.

I've been staring at it for twenty minutes now.

Elena knocked and came in. "Have you called her yet?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Nothing…I—I'm going to. I just—" I picked up the note and put it down. "Once I do this, you know there's no going back."

"I know, but they're already digging. You're just deciding whether

  • THE EX-WIFE MAKES A COMEBACK    Chapter 146

    (Daniel's POV)I was in my office trying to draft a contract for our newest client when my phone started buzzing.It was one call at first that I chose to ignore, then another.I ignored them and kept reading and editing. The terms needed to be finalized by the end of the day and I was already behind schedule.Then my desk phone rang. It was Jennifer calling.“Hello?” I answered, displeased by the interruption."Mr. Hart, your brother is on line two. He says it's urgent.""Tell him I'll call back.""He says it's really urgent. It's about an article."I groaned and dropped my laptop, then picked up. "Julian, I'm in the middle of—""Have you seen the Daily Mail?""No. Why would I be reading tabloids in the middle of the workday?""Daniel. Check it now."Something in his voice made me pull up the website on my laptop.The headline loaded and my mouth went open.“EXCLUSIVE: Hart Industries CEO Accused of Sexual Assault by Young Intern.”Below it was Janelle's photo. Her eyes were bloodsho

    (Janelle's POV)After I left Hart Industries, I didn't go home straight. I walked three blocks to a small cafe and ordered a coffee. Then I sat at a corner table and pulled out my phone. I scrolled through the Internet and found a page, then I copied the number I was looking for. “Owen Dawson—Daily Mail Entertainment Editor.”My fingers lingered on the dial button, then I clicked it.He answered on the second ring. "This is Owen speaking,” he said, irritation in his voice. They're all like that, until you give them juicy news and updates. "Hi. My name is Janelle Manning, and I have really important information to share with you.”His voice changed immediately to a friendliness that was not there earlier. “Hi, Janelle, what information do you have?”“It's about Daniel Hart.”There was a pause. “The one we all know? CEO and brother to Julian Hart?”“Yeah, that one,” I confirmed.“Alright, Janelle. Can you come to the office now? We will need to follow due protocol..We'll need to take

    (Daniel's POV)"Good morning, Mr Hart. Janelle Manning is here for her exit meeting."I looked up from my laptop. "Already? I thought HR scheduled it for three.""Yes, but she asked to come early. She said she has somewhere to be afterward.""Fine. Send her in."Jennifer hesitated. "Are you sure you don't want someone from HR present?""It's just an exit meeting. I'll be fine."She nodded and left. A minute later Janelle walked in.She looked different. Her hair was a bit messy and her face bare of makeup. She was dressed in a plain blouse buttoned to the collar. She looked younger somehow, and more vulnerable."Mr. Hart. Thank you for seeing me.""Have a seat Janelle."She sat across from me, hands folded in her lap. "I assume this is about ending my internship early.""It is. I've spoken with HR and we've agreed that the internship isn't working out. Your last day will be Friday.""Can I ask why?"I chose my words carefully. "Your performance has been inconsistent. And there have be

    (Daniel's POV)That night I took my time to make chicken pepper soup for dinner. I got an expensive wine delivered to the house as well.Elena was here. She was home. But there was still a distance between us that I didn't know how to cover yet. But I took consolidation in the fact that as long as she was back home, it was doable.After dinner she went upstairs to shower while I cleaned up the kitchen, putting away dishes, and trying to keep my hands busy.When I came upstairs she was already in bed, sitting up against the pillows. She was wearing one of my old shirts, and it rekindled hope in my chest."Can we talk?" she asked."Of course."I sat on the edge of the bed, not wanting to assume I could just get in next to her."There's something I need to tell you," she said.My stomach dropped. "Okay."She reached into the drawer of her bedside table and pulled out something small. It was a white plastic stick.A pregnancy test.She handed it to me and my hands shook as 8 stared at it.

    (Elena's POV)I arrived at Lena and Adrian's house at noon.My hands were shaking as I parked the car. I was trying to prepare myself for seeing Daniel after more than a week apart.The front door opened before I could get out and Lena stood there waiting."You came," she said, smiling."I said I would.""I know. But part of me thought you might change your mind."I got out of the car and walked to the door. "Is he here yet?""He's in the living room. Adrian and I will be upstairs with Charlotte. Take as long as you need.""What if I need to leave?""Then leave. No one is making you stay."I nodded, my heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears.Lena opened the door wider and I walked inside. Daniel was standing by the window in the living room, his back to me. He turned immediately he heard our footsteps.We looked at each other across the room, his eyes widening.He looked terrible. Worse than I'd imagined. His face was haggard, and exhausted, like he hadn't slept properl

    (Daniel's POV)I was unable to sleep that night, and barely managed to get to work because I had an important meeting. I avoided interaction with everyone. Janelle, and even Jennifer.And by evening, I showed up at Lena and Adrian's house.Lena answered the door looking less than pleased to see me. "Daniel.""I need to talk to you about Elena, please.”"I already told you I'm not telling you where she is.""I'm not asking for her location. I just need to know she's okay. That she's eating. That she's not—""She's fine. She's eating. She's safe. Now go home.""Lena, please. I can't sleep. I can't work. I can't think about anything except the fact that my wife is gone.""I don't know what you want me to do about that,” she shrugged."I know I messed up. I know I should have listened to her. But I can't fix it if she won't talk to me.""She doesn't want to talk to you.""Can you at least tell her I'm sorry? That I'll do anything to make this right?""I'm not your messenger, Daniel. If yo

    (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
