Anna / Olivia’s POV

For one terrible second, the ballroom disappeared.

Conversations carried on around us. Crystal glasses clinked together, laughter drifted through the music, and guests moved from one table to the next, but all I could hear was the pounding of my own heart.

Before I could answer, Dickson spoke. “I’m afraid you’ve mistaken my wife for someone else.” His tone remained even, and the conversation around us seemed to pause.

Miranda blinked, her smile faltering. “Oh, I know exactly

  • The Revenge of Fatso Anna   Chapter 35 - A Son?

    Dickson’s POVShe had stayed.I woke first and found Anna beside me, closer than she had been when we fell asleep. Her head rested near my shoulder, one hand loose on the sheet between us. I left her undisturbed and watched her sleep.Last night had changed something between us. I could feel it, but I wasn't going to ruin it by asking what it meant before either of us was ready for the answer.When Anna opened her eyes, she caught me looking at her.“You're staring.”“I'm appreciating.”“Don't.”“Too late.”A small smile touched her lips before she studied me more closely.“How are you?”The question was about Clarise. The file. Everything I had learned about my father the night before.“Ask me tomorrow.”Anna didn't press.We got out of bed and dressed, then made our way to the small open kitchen in our suite. She checked her phone while I made coffee, and for a little while, we allowed the morning to be ordinary. The laptop remained closed. There was no talk of the Ledger, Harry, or

  • The Revenge of Fatso Anna   Chapter 34 - Stay

    Anna / Olivia’s POVThe file opened.Clarise had been intercepted alive on the route Johnathan supplied. She refused to return to Harry and revealed that she had gathered evidence against him. That same night, Harry authorized her final disposition.I understood what that meant.Dickson reread the authorization, then the interception order, as though he might find something he'd missed.He didn't.He closed the laptop, his hands unsteady. “He killed her.”The words came out quietly, stripped of the anger I had heard from him so many times before.“Yes.”Dickson stared at the dark screen. Harry had spent years convincing him that his suspicions were grief speaking, all while knowing exactly what had happened to Clarise.He drew a slow breath and reached for the laptop again, as though another file might somehow make the truth easier to bear.“Dickson.”His hand stopped.“Come here.”He stood and came to me. I opened my arms, and the moment he stepped into them, I wrapped them around hi

  • The Revenge of Fatso Anna   Chapter 33 - Our Parents' Sins II

    Anna / Olivia’s POVI stopped near the dresser, my hands resting against its edge. Dickson stayed by the desk, giving me the space I needed.“When I told my father what Williams did to me, he didn't believe me.”Dickson said nothing, but I knew he was listening.“I told him I had been raped. He slapped me.” My fingers curled against the dresser. “Then he called me a slut and accused me of bringing shame to the family. According to him, there was no such thing as rape. Only girls who couldn't keep their legs closed.”Saying it now brought back pieces of that night I hadn't thought about in years. My father's anger. Aunt Jane shouting at him. The sting in my cheek. The way he told me I was no longer his daughter, as though there was nothing left to discuss.“My Aunt Jane was the only person who defended me. When he ordered me out, she left with me.” I swallowed and looked toward the laptop, where his name still sat among Harry Vanderbilt's secrets. “He never came after us. Never called.

    Anna / Olivia’s POVI opened my father's full profile.JOHNATHAN BENNETTPosition: Vanderbilt Household DriverClassification: External AssetStatus: CompensatedAssociated File: CLARISE VANDERBILTOne word stood out.Asset.I read it again, trying to make it fit with what I already knew about my father. He had worked for the Vanderbilts. He had driven their cars, entered their home every day, and eventually started sleeping with Harry Vanderbilt's wife.None of that made him an asset.Beside me, Dickson leaned closer to read the profile. “Compensated.”“I see it.”Whatever my father had done for Harry, he had been paid for it.Dickson's hand remained beside the keyboard, leaving the search to me. I stared at my father's name for another second before scrolling down.“Let's see what he was paid for.”I opened the transaction history.The first payments dated back to when my father was still working as the Vanderbilt household driver. They had been routed through secondary accounts in

  • The Revenge of Fatso Anna   Chapter 31 - No Longer Pretending

    Anna / Olivia’s POVI woke to the sound of movement and found Dickson already dressed, standing near the mirror as he fastened his cuffs. He glanced at me when I sat up, but neither of us mentioned what had happened yesterday. Not the kiss.Not the question he had asked afterward, or the fact that I had been unable to answer it.We talked as we got ready, and somehow that made everything worse. Dickson behaved as though kissing me had become a perfectly normal thing to do, and apparently, so did I.I was fastening my jacket when I noticed his tie sitting slightly off-center. Without thinking, I walked over and reached for it.“Hold still.”Dickson obeyed, watching me as I loosened the knot slightly and straightened it. It wasn't until my fingers were already smoothing the tie against his shirt that I became aware of how close I was standing to him.There was no one here to convince. No family watching us, no cameras, no reason for me to play the attentive wife.My hands paused briefl

  • The Revenge of Fatso Anna   Chapter 30 - Bonnie and Clyde

    Anna / Olivia’s POVDickson returned from the study, and one look at him told me enough.Harry had not given him the Ledger.He closed the door behind him and told me what Harry wanted. When he reached the part about Williams, his voice hardened.“He called what happened to that girl a petty crime. Said no one would remember her now.”I stared at him.“He actually said that?”“Yes.”Disgust twisted through me. To Harry, what Williams had done to another woman mattered only because Dickson had nearly brought the police to their door.Dickson went on.“There’s a test. One of our subsidiaries is holding money Harry wants moved without attracting scrutiny. He wants me to disguise the transfer as a consulting or acquisition payment and send it through another company.”“With your authorization attached.”“Yes. Once the money moves, there will be proof that I knowingly approved the transaction. That becomes my insurance.”I understood what Harry was doing.“The transfer has to be real.”“Ye
