Divorce

"I want a divorce," Cheryl said, placing the printed documents on his desk. Brian did not even hesitate. He signed his name at the bottom of the page and pushed the papers back across the table. "Take whatever money you think you deserve. Just make sure I never have to see you again." That was four years ago. Cheryl had spent three years in an arranged marriage, punished daily by her husband for vicious rumors she never actually committed. When Brian chose to pamper her manipulative stepsister while treating Cheryl with absolute cruelty, she finally walked away. She also chose to hide the fact that she was pregnant with his child. Today, Cheryl returns to the United States as the highly successful executive of Caldwell Biotech. She is solely focused on dominating the medical industry and raising her intelligent four-year-old daughter, Mira. When a massive business deal forces Brian and Cheryl into the same boardroom, Brian is shocked. He expects to easily intimidate the wife he discarded, but he is met by a powerful businesswoman who effortlessly blocks his every move. The corporate rivalry is difficult enough, but Brian soon crosses paths with the young girl standing by Cheryl's side. The child shares his exact features, prompting Brian to aggressively investigate the years Cheryl spent away from him. He is determined to uncover the truth, but he is about to learn that his wealth cannot buy back the family he deliberately destroyed.

CHAPTER 1 ~ DIVORCE
CHERYL'S POV"I want a divorce," I said.I placed the printed documents directly in the center of the large mahogany desk.Brian Wilson did not immediately look up from his laptop monitor. He continued typing for several seconds while the silence stretched between us. Eventually, he finished his email and shifted his gaze to the papers. He looked at the bold heading on the first page, but he did not look surprised. He only looked irritated."What is this supposed to achieve?" Brian asked, leaning back in his expensive leather chair and crossing his arms over his chest. "Are you trying to get my attention because I canceled our public appearance last weekend?""No," I replied, standing perfectly still on the opposite side of the desk. "I am not looking for your attention. I am leaving you. I have already signed the last page, so I just need your signature."Brian picked up the thick stack of papers. He flipped through the pages quickly until he stopped at the financial settlement secti

CHAPTER 2 ~ WON
CHERYL'S POVThe taxi drove away from the Wilson estate, and I did not look back. I stared at the leather seat in front of me while the driver navigated through the quiet suburban streets. The silence in the car allowed my mind to drift backward, and the harsh memories of my high school years surfaced immediately.I remembered the exact afternoon my stepsister ruined my reputation. Helen had cornered me in the girls' locker room after classes ended. She brought Sandra Scott and two other girls with her, and they blocked the only exit."Hold her arms down," Helen had ordered Sandra."Please let me go," I begged them. "I did not do anything to you.""You exist," Helen replied bitterly. "You get the better grades, and father always introduces you first at his parties. I am tired of living behind you."They forced me against the cold tile wall and took those terrible, humiliating photographs. I cried the entire time, but Helen only laughed at my tears."If you ever tell anyone about this,

CHAPTER 3 ~ MIRA
CHERYL'S POVThe private jet flew smoothly above the Atlantic Ocean, and I watched my four-year-old daughter negotiate with the flight attendant.Mira sat in the oversized leather seat with her tablet resting on her lap. Her dark spiral curls bounced slightly when she shook her head at the woman offering her a tray of snacks."I do not want the green juice," Mira said clearly. "It smells like the grass outside our house, and I do not eat grass. I would like the orange juice with exactly three ice cubes, please."The flight attendant smiled warmly because she was used to my daughter's highly specific requests. "I will bring you the orange juice right away, Miss Mira.""Thank you," Mira replied. She immediately tapped the screen of her tablet to resume her advanced puzzle game.I leaned back against my seat and smiled at her. Four years ago, I boarded a commercial flight with nothing but a small suitcase and a broken heart. Today, I was flying back to the United States as the Chief Exec

CHAPTER 4 ~ SHE'S BACK
BRIAN'S POVI stood near the center of the grand ballroom while the classical music played softly in the background. Dozens of wealthy investors and corporate executives mingled around the elegant tables, but I struggled to focus on their conversations.Helen held tightly onto my left arm, and she smiled brightly at every person who walked past us.She wore a pale pink dress, and a very specific piece of jewelry rested near her collarbone. It was a small, tarnished silver brooch.I looked down at the old pin, and a heavy sense of obligation settled over my chest. I gave that exact brooch to a young girl many years ago after she saved my life during a terrifying kidnapping. I spent my entire childhood wondering what happened to my brave savior.I only discovered the truth shortly after my divorce from Cheryl. Helen casually wore the brooch to my house one afternoon. When I asked her about it, she explained how she kept it hidden for years because she did not want to bother me with the

CHAPTER 5 ~ DAUGHTER
CHERYL'S POVMy heart hammered against my ribs, and my hands went numb. He stood two feet away from me. I had prepared myself for this exact moment for four years, yet hearing him claim my child still sent a sharp spike of fear through my veins. I forced myself to take a slow breath. I refused to let him see my panic. I locked my knees to stop them from shaking and met his angry gaze. "I do not know what you are talking about," I replied, keeping my tone flat and bored. "And you need to lower your voice before you embarrass yourself in front of these people."Brian stepped closer. He ignored the crowded lobby and the soft classical music playing in the background. His eyes darted past my shoulder toward the bank of elevators where the nanny had just disappeared with Mira. "Do not play games with me, Cheryl," Brian warned in a harsh whisper. "I saw her face, and I saw her eyes. She looks exactly like me. You left my house four years ago, and you took my child with you."I let out a

CHAPTER 6 ~ STRANGER
BRIAN'S POVI stood in the lobby and stared at the heavy wooden doors. Cheryl had just walked through them with another man holding her arm. My chest burned with a sharp jealousy I had never experienced before.She lied to my face. I knew she lied because that little girl shared my exact features. The child had my dark hair, and she had my dark eyes. Carson Robinson could not be the father. The timing was wrong, and the physical resemblance was too obvious. Carson was just a shield she used to keep me away from my own flesh and blood.I refused to let her walk away so easily.I adjusted my suit jacket and walked across the marble floor. I pushed the conference room doors open without knocking, and the low murmur of conversation stopped instantly.Five hospital executives sat around a large glass table. Cheryl stood at the front of the room next to a presentation screen, while Carson sat beside her with an open laptop. Every single person looked at me in surprise."Mr. Wilson," Mr. Ste

CHAPTER 7 ~ FRANTIC
CHERYL'S POVThe heavy conference room doors swung open with a loud bang, and Helen rushed into the room. She looked frantic as her eyes scanned the empty chairs. When she finally saw Brian standing near the glass table, she ran straight to his side and grabbed his arm. She held onto his sleeve with both hands like a terrified child seeking protection."Brian!" Helen gasped. She looked at me with wide eyes before turning her attention back to him. "I have been looking everywhere for you. Why are you in here with her?"Four years ago, watching my husband stand next to my stepsister would have made me lock myself in a bathroom to cry. Today, I felt nothing at all. I only saw a desperate woman clinging to a man who did not even want to look at her.Brian did not answer Helen right away. He kept his gaze fixed on my face, and his jaw was clenched tight. He seemed lost in his own thoughts, and he barely acknowledged the woman holding onto his arm.Helen noticed his silence, so she tightene

CHAPTER 8 ~ DNA
BRIAN'S POVCarson shifted his weight and placed himself squarely between Cheryl and me. He did not look scared, and his calm demeanor irritated me even more."You are crossing a legal line, Mr. Wilson," Carson warned. "Step out of the elevator right now, or I will call the hotel security and have you escorted out of the building.""I do not care about security," I replied. I looked past Carson to focus on Cheryl. "You hid my child from me. I want the truth, and I want it right now."Cheryl did not flinch. She stood tall, and her face remained blank. She did not show any of the fear she used to show during our marriage."You do not get to make demands," Cheryl said. "You lost the right to ask me questions four years ago when you signed the divorce papers. My daughter was born in Geneva, and Carson is her father. That is the only truth you will ever get from me.""The timeline is wrong," I argued. I moved a step closer, but Carson held his ground and blocked my path. "You were still ma

The morning sun warmed my face through the tinted windshield as I pulled away from the preschool drop-off zone.I exhaled a long breath and loosened my tight grip on the leather steering wheel.Mira skipped into her new classroom with a bright smile just five minutes ago.She hummed a happy little tune while eating her strawberry pancakes this morning.Nobody bothered us during the short drive across the busy city.I spent the entire night expecting Brian to kick my front door down after our tense standoff in the hotel elevator.I assumed he would show up with a small army of private security guards to demand answers.Instead, my phone remained silent and the night passed without a single disruption.My pulse finally slowed down to a normal rhythm because I truly believed he bought our lie.Carson played the role of a protective father perfectly and Brian backed down into the shadows.I pressed the accelerator and navigated my car toward the downtown business district.I watched the t

I kept the main overhead lights turned off inside the empty office so the morning sun would not reveal my exact position through the tinted glass.I slipped my hands into the pockets of my tailored trousers and stood perfectly still while I watched the building across the narrow street.The heavy concrete barricades sat directly over the main access road and blocked a long line of Caldwell Biotech delivery trucks from reaching the loading docks.Dozens of my hired security men stood near the barricades to ensure nobody moved a single piece of concrete without my direct permission.I did not care about the millions of dollars I spent during the middle of the night to purchase this towering commercial property.I only cared about the woman standing inside the executive suite on the top floor of the opposite building.Cheryl marched right up to the floor-to-ceiling window and stared down at the blocked road with her hands planted firmly on her hips.Even from this distance, I could see t
