Sebastian went quiet, but this time I knew him well enough to understand he wasn’t avoiding the question.

He was delaying, like there was another layer underneath all of this he hadn’t pulled out yet, and I was too tired to let him open the next door this morning.

“No.” I raised one hand. “Don’t answer yet. If you give me another plot twist before ten in the morning, I’m moving to a convent just to prove your prediction wrong.”

“You still wouldn’t get in.”

I stared at him.

The corner of his mou

    I stared at him for several seconds, trying to see if anything in Sebastian’s face would change if I waited long enough.Nothing.He stood calmly across the island, one hand resting lightly on the marble, wearing the expression of a man who had already handed over quite a bit of truth this morning but was very obviously still keeping some of it locked in an emotional basement that required special clearance.“Fine.”One eyebrow moved slightly.“Let’s say, for five extremely generous minutes, that I accept you never slept with her, never married her, and were not an active participant in the entire hotel-budget pornography production she put together five years ago.”“Very generous.”“Don’t ruin the moment.”Sebastian went quiet.I tapped the edge of one fingernail against the folder, then looked at him again. “Then we have one problem.”“We have several.”“This one has a heartbeat.”Something shifted in his eyes. Barely, but I caught it.I narrowed mine. “There.”“What?”I pointed at

    It came so simply that I lost my answer for a second.He looked straight at me, “You read a room faster than most of the people I pay to do it. You built your company from nothing. You can make three people think an idea was theirs when you planted it in their heads ten minutes earlier.”I opened my mouth.“And you always know when I’m lying.” Apparently, he wasn’t finished.I gave a small, bitter laugh. “Not always.”“I wasn’t lying about Kelsey.”“No. You just gave me approximately zero point zero percent of the information. Very different. Legal must be proud.”“I made a bad decision.”“Several.”“Correct.”I stared at him suspiciously. “Who are you and what have you done with Sebastian Romano?”“I know.” He shifted his mug slightly to the side. “And I never regretted marrying you.”He didn’t look away. The man who, five years ago, couldn’t manage one honest sentence when I needed it most was now sitting across from me with slightly messy hair and stubble along his jaw, saying some

If you give me another plot twist before ten in the morning, I’m moving to a convent just to prove your prediction wrong.”“You still wouldn’t get in.”I stared at him.The corner of his mouth moved half a millimeter.Bastard.I looked back at the folder. “This is your internal investigation.”“Yes.”“Your people.”“Yes.”“They’re paid by you.”“Yes.”“You know how that looks?”“Yes.”“Stop being agreeable. You’re ruining my momentum.”“No.”I closed my eyes for a second.Seriously.One day I was going to end up in prison and the prosecutor would understand.When I opened them again, Sebastian was looking at the folder, not me.His face had gone cold.

    The night Sebastian said he had to fly to Zurich for a board meeting. The night I had spent five years believing was one of the most blatant lies my husband had ever told me.Beside the booking timestamp was another record.Flight manifest.Sebastian Romano.Zurich.Arrival logged 19:08.Security accompaniment confirmed.I stopped.No.I went back to the first page.The date of the chat.Then the booking.Then the manifest.I started doing the math like a crazy woman with an excellent manicure. “This one…”“Yes.”“You were in Zurich.”“Yes.”“And the hotel in Milan was booked under your name that same night.”“Yes.”I looked at him. “You can fly.”“Not in eleven minutes.”His dry sarcasm didn’t even make me angry this time.I went back to reading.Next page.Paris.The security log showed Sebastian entering a private board dinner at 20:02 and leaving at 00:17.The beauty chat sent a message at 21:31.The linked desktop session was active from the office.I rubbed my fingertip across m

    Sebastian drank his own coffee.I wanted to throw a blueberry at his head.Breakfast continued under the terms of an extremely fragile international peace agreement. Poppy finished one and a half pancakes, declared the second one had “emotional damage” because it didn’t have enough syrup, then tried to feed Bunny a blueberry even though Bunny did not possess a digestive system.Salma appeared about twenty minutes later, already dressed and carrying Poppy’s little cardigan.Her eyes went to me, then the sunglasses, then Sebastian.The woman said nothing.I loved her for it.“The playroom is ready,” she told Poppy. “Security check is complete.”“Are there dolls?”“Yes.”“Kitchen?”“Yes.”“Markers?”“Washable.”Poppy immediately wrinkled her nose. “Boring.”“The permanent ones were confiscated because someone drew eyebrows on Bunny.”“That was an improvement.”Salma took her little hand. “Come on.”Poppy hopped down from the stool, then suddenly turned back, grabbed the remaining half of

  • The Billionaire's Regret   Our Little Domestic Armistice

    The knock at the door came with the rhythm of someone who had never paid taxes and therefore still had the courage to face life.Knock. Knock-knock. Knock.I opened one eye.Mistake.Morning light immediately stabbed my retina with personal hatred, and my head reminded me that last night I had cried myself to sleep with my face smashed into a pillow like the victim of a melodrama that didn’t have enough budget for a stunt double.I groaned and pulled the blanket over my head.The knocking came again. “Mommy.”I didn’t answer.“MOMMY!”No.“Mommy, I know you’re alive because the door doesn’t smell dead.”I opened my eyes under the blanket.What?“And I have a complaint.”Of course she did.I pulled the blanket down a little and stared at the ceiling. The digital clock on the nightstand read 8:17.My dignity, if my estimate was correct, had died sometime around three in the morning. No family at its bedside. Private funeral. White flowers. Cause of death: Sebastian Romano and male decis
