Richmond POV

I sat in my office on the top floor of the Fernandez Real Estate building, staring out at the Sacramento skyline, but my mind was completely focused on Vanya. Every conversation we'd had over the past week had convinced me more and more that she was the brave girl who had saved me fifteen years ago, but the question of when and how to tell her the truth was eating me alive.

The coffee in my hand had gone cold hours ago, but I barely noticed. I kept replaying our lunch conversation yesterday, when she had told me the story of helping a bullied transfer student. She had no idea that the scared, bookish boy she was describing was sitting right across from her, now grown into a man who had built an empire partly because of the confidence her act of kindness had given him.

I wanted to tell her so badly it physically hurt. Every time she smiled at me, every time she thanked me for being kind to her, I felt like I was lying by not revealing who I really was. But something held

  • The Goddess of Divorce Made Me His Boss    Chapter 35

    Vanya POVI was sitting at my new office desk, sketching designs for my next jewelry collection, when the familiar warmth of my necklace began to glow against my skin. I looked around the empty workshop to make sure no one was watching, then touched the ancient pendant gently."Athena?" I whispered.Her voice filled my mind immediately, strong and clear as always. "My daughter, I have come to warn you. Your enemies are plotting against you. Stay alert. The challenges ahead will test everything you have learned about standing up for yourself."My heart started beating faster. "What kind of plotting? Is it Bernard?""Bernard is part of it, but he is not alone," Athena replied. "There are others working with him, people who want to see you fail. They believe if they can destroy your business, they can destroy your newfound power."I set down my pencil and looked around my beautiful new workspace. In just three weeks, I had transformed from a broken housewife into the owner of a growing j

    Richmond POVI couldn't stop thinking about the way Marcus had looked at Vanya in that conference room. It wasn't the look of a lawyer helping a client, or even a friend giving advice. It was the look of a man who was completely in love.I was sitting in my real penthouse apartment, thirty floors above Sacramento, staring out at the city lights and feeling jealous in a way I had never experienced before. The jealousy was eating at me like poison, making it impossible to concentrate on anything else.Marcus Thompson. Vanya's childhood friend, her lawyer, the man she trusted with her most important legal matters. He knew everything about her past, her dreams, her fears. He had been there for her through the worst years of her marriage when Bernard was destroying her confidence piece by piece.And now he was in love with her.I could see it in every move he made around Vanya. The way he looked at her like she was the most beautiful woman in the world. The way he leaned closer when she s

  • The Goddess of Divorce Made Me His Boss    Chapter 33

    Marcus POVI sat alone in my office long after Vanya and Richmond had left, staring at the empty conference room where everything had changed. The papers from Kingston's investment offer were still scattered across the table, but I couldn't focus on them. All I could think about was the look on Vanya's face when I told her I was in love with her.Shock. That's what I had seen in her beautiful brown eyes. Complete shock, like the idea had never crossed her mind in twenty years of friendship.Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut. Maybe I should have waited for a better time, when she wasn't dealing with divorce papers and business investments and mysterious warnings from Richmond. But watching her transform from the broken woman who called me three weeks ago into this confident, powerful businesswoman had made it impossible to stay silent any longer.I had been in love with Vanya Reed since we were fifteen years old.Back then, she was Vanya Martinez, the girl next door who helped me

  • The Goddess of Divorce Made Me His Boss    Chapter 32

    Bernard POVI woke up to the sound of our upstairs neighbors fighting again. Their voices were loud and angry, just like every morning for the past three weeks. I rolled over and looked at the cracked ceiling of our tiny one-bedroom apartment, feeling the familiar anger building in my chest.This place was a dump. The carpet was old and stained, the kitchen was smaller than my old walk-in closet, and the bathroom had a leak that the landlord refused to fix. Tracy and I were sharing this miserable space because it was all we could afford after everything fell apart."Bernard," Tracy called from the kitchen, her voice sharp with irritation. "The coffee maker is broken again, and we don't have money to buy a new one."I groaned and sat up on the lumpy couch where I had been sleeping. We couldn't even afford a proper bed, just an air mattress that Tracy used in the bedroom while I slept on this uncomfortable couch every night."I'll fix it later," I called back, knowing I wouldn't be able

  • The Goddess of Divorce Made Me His Boss    Chapter 31

    Vanya POVI stood outside Marcus Thompson's law office building, holding the thick folder containing David Kingston's investment proposal. My hands were slightly shaking, not from fear, but from excitement. Five million dollars. The number still didn't feel real, even though I had read the documents three times already.The morning sun was reflecting off the glass windows of downtown Sacramento, and I took a moment to appreciate how different my life had become. Three weeks ago, I was a broken housewife with no money and no hope. Now I was about to discuss a multi-million dollar business deal for my own company."You've come so far, my daughter," Athena's warm voice whispered in my mind. "But remember, with greater power comes greater challenges. Choose your allies wisely."I touched my necklace gently, drawing strength from the goddess's presence, then walked into the building.Marcus's office was on the tenth floor, and as the elevator climbed, I thought about how much our relations

  • The Goddess of Divorce Made Me His Boss    Chapter 30

    Vanya POV"A reporter?" I asked Marcus, my heart sinking. "What kind of story are they planning to run?""They're claiming you're involved in some kind of scandal," Marcus said over the phone. "Someone has been feeding them lies about how you got your money and your relationship with Richmond. We need to meet tomorrow morning to discuss how to handle this."After I hung up, Richmond looked at me with concern. "Are you okay?""Someone is trying to destroy my reputation," I said, feeling frustrated and scared. "But I don't understand why reporters would be interested in my personal life.""Don't worry," Richmond said firmly. "We'll figure this out together. No one is going to hurt you while I'm around."His protective tone made me feel safer, but I couldn't shake the feeling that things were about to get much worse before they got better.That was yesterday. Today, I was standing in the Sacramento Art Gallery, surrounded by my first jewelry exhibition. I had worked for two weeks straig
