The Billionaire’s Contract Wife Can't Let Go Chapter 38
Alex POV: Meeting Dana AgainI’m sitting in the temporary office I rented when my phone rings on the table. It is about eight in the morning and Stanton is calling. It is unusual. He is usually in court this early."Alex," he says, when I answer. "You alright, bro?"The question catches me off guard. Stanton doesn't do concern like this. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"He pauses. "Jodie called me this morning. Sounded . . . worried. She said you've been acting strange. Eating at some hole-in-the-wall diner last night, then handing your Patek Philippe to a guy sleeping on a grate near Dupont Circle. She thinks you're having some kind of episode."I laugh thinly, rubbing my eyes. "It's not an episode. I'm just . . . trying to live differently.""Differently how?" he asks, puzzled, not judgmental, but close. "You've worked your ass off to get where you are. That watch alone cost more than most people's yearly rent. You gave it away?""I saw the guy. He was shivering under a cardboard, his hands c

Dana POV: Bert Loves The Painting Bert Friesen stares at the painting on the easel like he’s afraid the painting might vanish. He steps back and looks at me again, his eyes wide behind his round glasses.“You’re not messing with me,” he says. “You painted this?”I frown, my heart kicking up. “What’s wrong? You told me you liked it. You flew all the way here because of it.”He shakes his head, already pulling his phone from his coat pocket. “You don’t understand, Dana. It looks even better than in the photo you sent. You are something else.” “Oh.”Whew. He dials, puts the phone to his ear, and keeps staring at the canvas as he listens to the ringing. “Are you sure you’re not going to leave your dad’s business and move to France?” he asks me. I shake my head. “No way. Basquiat went out there and died.”“Basquiat died in his studio in Manhattan. He died here, not there.”“Okay,” I say, shrugging. “You get my point.” I grin and turn back to the painting. A text comes in on my phone

Alex POV: Making Some Changes Around HereBy the time I walk into one of the offices in my company, my head is still heady with questions. In Watson Bruen’s office, I'm listening to the COO’s voice drone along with the air conditioning. He’s pacing now, gesturing at the projected slide on the wall, the red arrows pointing up for costs, red arrows pointing down for margins. Watson is angry about Trump’s latest sanctions on China which caused a rerouting of our supply chain for Lex Automobile. Parts that used to come from Shenzhen now have to come from Osaka or Nagoya. It's a logistics nightmares. The tariffs area a headache. I nod at the right moments, but my mind is elsewhere, back in that small office on Dutch Crescent. Colt Wuckert’s quiet stare in my head. His question that still echoes in my head: How do you know who you are if you haven’t been tested?Watson stops pacing when he notices I’m not really listening. “Alex? You with me?”I blink, refocusing on his square face a

Alex POV: The Interview With Wuckert There is nothing striking about the Dutch Crescent address. It looks too small and ordinary. A narrow brick facade squeezed between a law office and a dry cleaner, the sign reading “Crescent Media Solutions – Cable Television Distribution” in plain block letters. Nothing about it screams power. Nothing about it matches the weight my father put behind the words “go see him” this morning.Dad’s call had come at dawn. He had sounded ominous when he said, “I need you to meet Colt Wuckert. He's a member of the Club of Eight. Dutch Crescent, West End. Be there at ten. Don’t be late.” He had offered no other explanation. He didn't prep me. All I had was the address and the expectation that I’d understand.I understand enough to know this is no casual meeting. After Orsini’s party, after seeing those six men at the table, I couldn’t stop thinking about the seat that had been empty. Who did it belong to? My father wants me there, I believe. Yesterday Jo

Dana POVI pay the taxi driver and step out onto Dutch Crescent. I look around at the old structures that make up West End and shake my head. Why would dad's friends have their office here?The sign on the sidewalk reads “Crescent Media Solutions – Cable Television Distribution,” a name I’ve never heard before, plain enough to blend into the row of professional offices. It looks like any other mid-tier company building with glass doors, brass plaque, and no fanfare. I lick my dry lips and try to composw myself. Inside, the lobby is cool and understated with marble floors, a single reception desk, abstract art on the walls that I suspect costs more than it looks like. The woman behind the desk glances up as I approach.“I’m here to see Colt Wuckert,” I say, exactly as he instructed over the phone.She smiles politely and her eyes brighten when I add, “Dana Travis.”She lifts the intercom receiver. “Ms. Dana Travis is here to see you, sir.”She waits, listens, then nods toward the wi

Dana POV: One Company To Birth Them AllDad’s old office will never cease to make me feel watched. I'm at the window, staring at the city skyline, trying to process the phone call that just ended. But I look back at the high backed chair and imagine my old man sitting there, looking at me. My phone rings and I pick it to hear mom's voice. “I'm at the hospital here, Dana,” she says. “How's it coming together in Washington?”“Its okay out here, mom. How's dad?” “He's doing his best, I guess,” she murmurs. “I'm happy about the sale of Wood and Ward,” she says and my eyes open a little wider. “Your dad loves that company. It is his favorite in his empire, did you know that?” No, I didn't. I start to giggle. “Dad never said anything like that?” “Men never tell you the one they love the most,” she says almost wistfully. “Your dad loves that company and would never let go if he wasn't in a hospital, dying.”My back stiffens and I catch my breath. I sit on the chair and lean back. “Mo
