last update Last Updated: 2025-08-06 19:29:39

Daniel POV

This was it, the moment I had been waiting for. Edward had finally slipped up, and his damage was irreversible. This is good for me. I won’t have competition for Vanessa’s heart anymore, especially when she’s finally seen Edward for what he truly is.

A liar and a cheat.

I wasn’t expecting the knock at the door. Not at this hour. But somehow, I knew it was her.

Wendy.

I took a long breath before answering, bracing myself.

She stood in the hallway of my penthouse, eyes fierce, lips tight, wearing a trench coat over what I already knew would be something seductive. Her hair was still dyed red now. Crimson. Vanessa’s exact shade. It unsettled me more than I wanted to admit.

“You didn’t answer my texts,” she said, brushing past me into the living room like she still had a right to be there.

I shut the door behind her slowly. “That’s because I had nothing to say.”

She turned, dropping her coat. Lacy red lingerie. I wasn’t even moved.

“Trying too hard, Wendy,” I said coldly. “Even

    Vanessa POVIt hurt to go back.Not just because of everything that happened in the last few days, but it felt like a piece of myself was breaking away. And I knew exactly why I was feeling it. I wasn’t packing to redecorate or to organize. I was packing to leave the mansion.Liam sat on the bed, swinging his legs while holding his favorite buzz light year toy, the one Edward had bought him during his birthday. He watched me quietly for a while, then started asking questions about Edward nonstop.He asked them few days ago but I didn’t respond to all.“Mom, when can we see him again?”“Do you think he misses me?”“Do you think he’s sad without us?”Each time, I swallowed the truth and gave him the safest lie I could manage. “Of course he misses you, baby.”I froze, a sweater half-folded in my hands to place in the mini box Harris and Cole brought me.“We’re… going to see him soon.” I added.“Okay mom,” he said, his voice small. “I miss him. Why can’t we just stay with him?”It was the

    Edward’s POVThe study felt cooler than usual tonight, even after I turned on the heater. Shadows from the lamplight spread wide across the amber desk, the air felt tense, and my liquor sat in a round glass untouched. The pen in my hand felt heavier than it should have. Maybe it’s because I knew what the document in front of me meant, even if the lawyer sitting opposite thought this was just another business transaction.Termination of the marriage contract.I signed my name with slow, deliberate strokes, every curve of the pen felt like it was cutting into my chest. Across from me, Tobias leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, watching me with that older-brother calmness he’d perfected over the years. The lawyer cleared his throat softly, sliding the papers closer for the final signature on my end.“She’ll have to sign tonight when she comes back,” the lawyer said, like it was nothing. “It will be official the moment she does.”My hand paused mid-stroke. Tonight.Would she even bot

    Vanessa POVJust as Edward squeezed my hand again, the creak of a door echoed down the hallway.My stomach tightened.Alessa stepped out of the guest room across from the sitting area, barefoot and smug, wrapped in one of the mansion’s silk robes like she owned the place. Her hair was loose, falling in smooth waves over her shoulders. She looked rested. Too rested.Her eyes landed on us, lighting up with false surprise.“Oh,” she purred. “Didn’t know we had company.”I turned slowly toward her, refusing to rise. Refusing to flinch.“Vanessa,” she added, with a perfectly sweet smile. “Lovely to see you again.”I didn’t answer.Because there was no version of polite that would come out of my mouth right now.Her gaze moved to where Edward and I stood by the couch, our hands still tangled, mine now cold with restraint. She took in the closeness, the comfort, and something bitter crept into her expression. A twist of jealousy? Satisfaction? I couldn’t tell. Maybe both.Edward turned to he

    Vanessa’s POVJune 8thTwo days.That’s how long I’ve been hiding at Bella’s, pretending that everything isn’t slowly collapsing around me.Her guest bedroom is cozy. Too cozy. Like it’s trying to comfort me, trick me into pretending I’m not devastated. I’ve scrolled past Edward’s name at least fifty times. Missed calls. Messages. Voicemails I can’t bring myself to listen to. Every time I close my eyes, I see Jules’ wicked grin, Alessa’s baby bump. The shock in Edward’s face when she walked in.And the way my heart cracked open like broken glass.I stir my coffee slowly, watching Liam rush past me, his tiny Spider-Man backpack bouncing as he heads for the door. It’s his last day of school before summer break, and he’s excited. He and Jacob have been talking about a sleepover all week, like the one he had here these past few days wasn’t enough.Lucky for me, our bodyguards Harris and Cole went to the mansion on my behalf to get spare clothes plus Liam’s school uniform. I wasn’t ready t

    Edward POVThe echo of the door slamming shut still rang in my ears.I stood there, frozen in place, the living room drenched in a suffocating silence that felt far louder than any scream. Vanessa was gone—again. And this time, I wasn’t sure if she’d come back.My hands dropped to my sides, fists clenching until my knuckles turned white. I could still hear Jules’s voice, cold and precise: “She’ll never be a Silver. And Alessa’s child will be the true heir.”It had taken everything in me not to scream. Not to break something. Not to fall to my knees.Instead, I’d stood there and watched the woman I loved, the woman I’d fought so hard to win back, run from me in tears. I was the villain again, whether I meant to be or not.And damn it, this time, I couldn’t even blame her.I ran a hand through my hair and dropped onto the edge of the couch, elbows on my knees. Alessa had left with Jules, but they promised to be back later. She hadn’t said much before she left, just a smug smile, as if s
