The Discarded Heiress: Married To My Ex Fiancé’s Brother Chapter One hundred and Two
EliasThree hours earlier, I was sitting across from my mother, trying to convince her that her soup was perfectly edible.I saw that cooking was still not one of her better qualities.“It’s good,” I said.Penelope looked at me. “You’re lying.”“I’m not, I’m really not.” I assured her.“You’ve barely touched it.”“I’ve been talking.”“Then talk less and eat more.”I smiled, picking up my spoon.Sunday dinners had become something of a routine lately. Not that either of us had officially agreed to it. It had simply started happening, and neither of us seemed particularly interested in changing that.Every Sunday, by 7 p.m sharp. I didn’t even know when I’d gotten accustomed to her presence and it really wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be.The dining room was still far too large for two people, but she’d finally moved our place settings next to each other rather than keeping them at opposite ends of the table.It was a small thing but it felt like something major to me. Like some of the

LenoraI sat there for a while, thinking about her.Kevin seemed like a nice man. And if nothing else, I’d managed to get her through an entire afternoon and evening without obsessing over her boss.Mostly.I smiled to myself.Perhaps Operation Reese’s Love Life wasn’t such a terrible idea after all.It was a little after eleven when I finally settled at the dining table with the lease paperwork.Elias still wasn’t home.I’d sent him a message earlier, but he’d replied that Penelope had made soup and he wasn’t allowed to leave without taking some with him.I laughed when I read it.Apparently, some things never changed.I spread the documents across the table, checking the final details one more time.My new studio.My own space.My own collection.I was still looking at the lease when my laptop chimed.An email.I glanced at the screen, expecting another confirmation from the landlord’s agent.Instead, I found an unfamiliar address.Just a string of numbers.No name. No company ident

LenoraWe discussed the arrangement for another twenty minutes, going through the initial quantities, delivery expectations and the terms of the exclusivity agreement.There were a few things I wanted clarified, and Noa was surprisingly accommodating once he realised I wasn’t going to agree to anything simply because he had a folder and an impressive business card.Okay, it was more than that but you got my point.By the time we finished, he was already discussing a possible meeting on Tuesday to finalise the paperwork.There was something almost impatient about him, although I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.He wanted the collection.And he wanted it soon.I didn’t know what to make of that yet.But I wasn’t going to complain about having someone genuinely interested in my work.~I signed the lease on the hood of Theo’s car.It wasn’t exactly how I’d imagined signing the paperwork for my new studio, but the landlord’s agent had brought the documents along, and there was no reaso

LenoraWe headed back to the first building, where Amy was waiting with a tape measure and her tablet.I stopped in my tracks.Then I glanced at Theo, but he seemed just as surprised as I was.“Amy,” he called, walking a little faster to meet her. “What are you doing here?”“Uh… you mentioned you’d be here, so I figured I’d surprise you.” She glanced back at the space. “I wanted to help assess it, considering how much technical work would go into setting everything up.”Theo must have been pretty certain we were choosing this place if Amy had been certain we’d be here.He looked back at me, obvious panic in his eyes.“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I didn’t know she’d be here. I’m… I’m sorry, Lenora.”Well, there was no point putting him on the spot. He clearly hadn’t known she’d be here.Amy looked over Theo’s shoulder.“Hi, Lenora.”I forced a smile. “Hey, Amy. How have you been?”“Good…”An awkward silence followed before she turned her attention towards the loft.“I’ve been looking at

Lenora The first thing I heard Sunday morning was a noise that sounded suspiciously like a goose being murdered. I opened one eye. Then the other. The noise came again. I turned my head towards the bedroom door, staring at the ceiling for a moment before slowly sitting up. I hovered downstairs where I heard the sound coming from and found Elias standing in front of the espresso machine. “Elias?” He looked up, a delighted smile crossing his face. “Good morning, sweetheart.” “Good morning,” I greeted. “Um, what are you doing?” “Making coffee.” “Is the coffee machine supposed to sound like that?” “I don’t think so,” he said, looking just as concerned. He pressed a button and the machine made another awful noise. “Perhaps,” I suggested, “we should read the manual.” “I know how to operate a coffee machine, Lenora.” “Clearly.” I folded my hands. He gave me a look over his shoulder. “This is the coffee machine Reese gave us.” “Yes. A housewarming gift for her own housewarm

LenoraOur first candidate was a tall guy standing near one of the coffee shops.“Go on,” I whispered.“Lenora.”“Just say hello, that’s it.”She inhaled, straightened her blouse and walked over.I watched from a safe distance as she stopped beside him.“Hi.”The guy looked up at her.“Hey.”There was a long awkward pause, then Reese gestured vaguely towards the coffee shop.“Nice coffee.”I pressed my lips together.The guy looked down at the cup in his hand.“Thanks?”Reese nodded.Then she walked away.I nearly choked. “What the heck was that?”“Don’t ask me.”“Nice coffee?”“Lenora, shut up.”Our second attempt was marginally better, although the gentleman in question was clearly in a hurry and responded to her greeting with a distracted smile before disappearing into a clothing store.The third was worse.Much worse.He actually looked behind himself when Reese said hello, apparently convinced she was addressing someone else.By the fourth attempt, I was beginning to suspect my p
