The Billionaire’s Contract Wife Can't Let Go Chapter 146
Dana POV: Jack's Daughter, Cindy Is HereI hoped that Alex will follow me. I imagine him catching my arm, calling my name, demanding that we finally talk about why he's suddenly cold to me on the day of my dad's funeral. But as I reach the landing and glance back, the balcony door remains shut. There is only the gray light of the rain and the silence of his rejection.Downstairs, I head straight for the kitchen. My nerves are frayed wire. I find a pot of herbal tea one of my mother’s friends brought over and pour myself a cup, the steam rising in a fragrant cloud."Dana?"I snap. "What is it?"My cousin jumps. She's back again, her eyes wide and blinking in confusion. I immediately feel a pang of guilt. I set the teapot down and try to rein in my aggression."I'm sorry," I say. "I’m just . . . it's been a long day. What is it this time?"The girl looks at me tentatively. "Are you okay?"I sigh, leaning against the counter and looking at her. "I’m okay, Doreen—it is Doreen, right?""T

Dana POV: Carmela Giuseppe Meets Jack AgainThe relative calm of the wake is broken by a light touch on my shoulder. I turn to see one of the younger cousins, a girl my mother whispered was struggling with bulimia earlier, looking at me with wide, hesitant eyes."Dana," she whispers. "There’s someone here. She says she’s Jack’s girlfriend. She wants to see you."I frown, my mind racing through a short, dusty list of names. Jack’s girlfriend? Lori? No, that can’t be right. They broke up years ago, and since then, Jack has been a ghost when it comes to his love life. He hasn't brought anyone home in ages.I follow the cousin back toward the entrance of the living room. The crowd is thick, a sea of black clothes and muted murmurs, but I spot her immediately. Standing nervously in a corner, wearing a simple but elegant black dress, is Carmela Giuseppe.I gasp in surprise. I push through the guests and wrap my arms around her. "You came," I breathe, pulling back to look at her. "Wow. Car

Alex POV: Alex Kicks It With Dana's BrothersThe air on the ground floor of the Travis estate is suffocating, a dense mixture of damp wool, floral arrangements, and the heavy, unsaid expectations of a dynasty in mourning. It's been a while since I found myself in such a solemn setting. Though I understand Dana is upset, sad and in mourning, I need to get away from her wounded eyes and the way she looks at me like I’m an intruder.I spot Jack in the corner. He’s leaning against a bookshelf, his fingers dancing nervously over a single unlit cigarette. I didn't know Jack smoked. I remember trying to pick up the habit back in university because the aesthetic of the brooding intellectual appealed to me but the actual sensation of inhaling burning leaves felt fundamentally wrong. I gave it up after a few tries."Jack," I say, stopping a few feet from him.He looks up, and for a second, I think he might actually hit me. He is wound tight, his face a ghostly, alabaster white and his eyes da

Dana POV: Alex Attends The Funeral The grief of the morning is a fog so thick that, for the first time in months, the thought of Alex Logan doesn’t occupy a single corner of my mind. It is a strange, hollow relief, until the black BMW pulls up the narrow cemetery road.Beside me, Charles feels the sudden change. My hand, tucked into the crook of his arm, turns to stone."What is it?" he whispers, leaning down.I say nothing. I can’t as I watch the car door swing open. Alex steps out alone, a dark silhouette against the gray morning. He wears a black trench coat and a hat pulled low, looking less like a businessman and more like a figure from a noir film. He joins the tail end of the procession of well-wishers winding toward the graveside."Did you tell him?" Jack mutters from my other side."No," I whisper. "I don't know how he knows."A traitorous spark of warmth warms it's way inside my chest, fighting against the cold wind. If he is here, after everything, it means he still care

Dana POV: Wuckert Is Curious About The Pocket WatchThe air in our living room is thick with the scent of lilies and floor wax, and the suffocating weight of people murmuring.People have flown in from all over the country to bury my father. Most of them are strangers to me. Uncle Dwight Travis and Aunt Lilian Hobbs are both here. They're the ones I recognize the most out of the lot. They are the last of my father’s siblings, both well into their seventies, looking like weathered versions of the man we’re burying tomorrow. Dwight’s suit is impeccably pressed, but his skin hangs loose on his frame, a reminder that soon, we'll be coming together to bury him too. He signals me over. "So," Dwight says, when I'm sat beside him. "How is the family business, Dana?"I suppress a sigh. I’ve already had this conversation with Eddie. I told him: “no business this week.”Not while the casket is still open. Not while the ground is still cold. But Dwight is seventy, and despite the sharpness in h

Dana POVI think I cried everything out a long time before today. Some unknown, quiet part of me has been bracing for my father's death, holding itself ready, and so when it finally happens there's no flood of tears. All I feel is a hollow, ringing stillness in my soul where grief should be.I'm sitting on a bench at the far end of the corridor, away from the waiting area where my brothers cluster together. Mom had to be sedated. They gave her something and steered her into a bed two hours ago, and I watched her go without following.Derek cried a little, his face crumpling in a sudden, boyish way that reminded me he's still my little brother underneath everything else.I had crumpled to the floor. One moment I was standing, and the next the linoleum was cold under my knees and someone's hands were at my elbows, and then I was up again and walking, and I kept walking until I found this bench, and I've been here since.Jack brought water at some point. I took the bottle and thanked hi

Alex POV: Dana's Painting I'm late by one hour to the meeting with Hymar Magoro. The delay was deliberate. I could have left New York earlier, but I wanted to keep him waiting, so he'll get tired and leave.And when I walked into the restaurant and head straight for the VIP area where he said he w

Dana POV: The Constitution Of BrothersWashington is only a three-hour flight, but packing feels like I’m about to go to the moon. I take one more look at my room, and at my prize from the exhibition. I smile at it, but the smile vanishes when the memory of winning it leads to Alex’s indifferent fa

Alex POV: The Trespasser Dana’s brothers look like they’ve come to ambush me.Eddie, the New York cop, is wearing a white t-shirt and dark pants, and Jack is wearing cargo pants and a flannel shirt. Together they look like two hippies.I raise a hand in greeting, a smile still glued in place. “Hey

Alex POV: The Man In The PaintingFrom the corner of my eyes, I watch Dana walk out of the gallery, and it takes all the will inside me to not chase after her.God, she looked so ravishing in the red satin dress that complimented her clear bright skin and that fiery short hair. A memory of me dippi
