Sienna called two days later with an idea.

"What if we did it together? A double wedding?"

I was at the foundation office. Working remotely despite the suspension. Reviewing cases. Trying to feel useful.

"A double wedding?"

"Yeah. Both of us. Same day. Same place. Neither of us wants a big traditional thing. So why not do it together? Make it about family instead of spectacle?"

I thought about it. Marcus and I had planned city hall. Quick. Simple. Private.

But doing it with Sienna? That felt ri

  • The Second Wife's Revenge    Chapter 142: The First Year

    The first year passed the way first years do with small children. Fast and slow simultaneously. Days that lasted forever and months that disappeared.Grace at six months could sit up. Studied everything from this new vantage point with the focused attention of a scientist who'd just acquired better equipment. She examined objects by touching them with both hands. Testing weight. Testing texture. Testing what happened when you dropped them.She dropped things constantly. On purpose. Watching them fall. Watching them be retrieved. Testing whether the laws of physics were consistent.They were. She confirmed this approximately two hundred times.Daniel sat in a bouncer watching his sister conduct her experiments. He found everything she did fascinating. His face tracked her around the room. When she laughed he laughed. When she protested something he looked concerned.He'd arrived easy in a way Grace hadn't. Not better or worse. Just different. Where Grace had demanded engagement from th

  • The Second Wife's Revenge    Chapter 141: The Second Birth

    Marcus got me out of the reception without causing alarm. Mostly.Robert noticed. Of course Robert noticed. He'd developed the specific attention of someone trying to make up for years of not noticing. He caught my eye across the room as Marcus helped me stand. Read something in my face.Marcus shook his head once. Slight. Robert stopped. Understood. Stayed at his wedding where he was supposed to be.Sienna noticed too. She was across the room with Daniel and I watched her figure it out in real time. The sequence of her expression: confusion, understanding, alarm, the controlled alarm of someone who'd done this herself twice.She texted me in the car on the way to the hospital.*Are you in labor.*Not a question.I texted back: *Probably. Stay at the reception. I'll call you.*Her response: *Absolutely not.*Then: *Dante is already getting the car.*Then: *Robert says congratulations and sorry he didn't notice sooner.*I smiled at the phone through a contraction. Marcus driving. Focus

    Margaret said yes the same evening Robert asked.She called me the next morning. Her voice warm and direct. Exactly what Robert had described."Your father tells me you approved of this development," she said."I approved of him asking. You get to decide the rest.""Fair distinction." A pause. "I'd like to meet you properly. Before the wedding. Not after.""Sunday dinner," I said. "Our place. Bring your appetite. Marcus cooks."She came that Sunday. Sixty-one years old. Silver hair cut short. Reading glasses on a chain she actually used. Three adult children who'd raised good questions about the timeline and then decided their mother was a grown woman who could make her own choices.Grace examined her immediately. The glasses on the chain particularly interesting.Margaret let Grace examine the glasses chain for four minutes without flinching. Answered every question directly at dinner. Laughed loudly when something was actually funny and not otherwise.I understood why Robert liked h

  • The Second Wife's Revenge    Chapter 139: Daniel Jr

    September moved differently than August.Something in the light. Lower. More golden. The city shifting into the awareness that summer was done and what came next required different clothing and a different pace.Daniel James Caruso was three weeks old and had opinions about everything.He cried with purpose. Ate with intensity. Slept in forty-five minute increments that left Dante looking like a man who had faced combat and found new parenthood the greater challenge.He was also unambiguously handsome. Dark hair like Dante. Sienna's sharp eyes. A face that held both of them and somehow also suggested the man whose name he carried. Daniel Torres. Who'd never hold this child. Who'd investigated and died and become the reason any of this existed.I visited three times that first week. Seventeen weeks pregnant myself. Moving carefully. The specific weight of a second pregnancy on a body still remembering the first.Sienna sat in the nursing chair where I'd spent so many hours with Grace.

  • The Second Wife's Revenge    Chapter 138: The End of Flynn

    The news broke the next morning.I was feeding Grace when my phone started filling with alerts. News notifications I'd set to monitor Flynn's case as a precaution. Never expecting to use them for this.*Flynn Lancaster, convicted fraudster and bigamist, killed in prison altercation*Then the details coming through the day. Rodriguez calling with the official version."Investigation confirmed. The other inmate had an outstanding gambling debt with Lancaster. Apparently Flynn had been running informal lending inside the facility. Charging interest. Someone couldn't pay.""A gambling debt.""Yes. No Covenant connection. No external coordination. No conspiracy. Just prison economics and a dispute that turned violent. The other inmate has been charged with murder."Flynn Lancaster. CEO. Fraudster. Bigamist. Abuser. Dead at thirty-four over a prison gambling debt.Not a dramatic ending. Not justice exactly. Not revenge. Just the random violence of a world that didn't organize itself around

  • The Second Wife's Revenge    Chapter 137: Flynn's letter

    I took the letter upstairs. Set it on the kitchen table. Made coffee.Stood looking at it while the coffee brewed.Flynn's handwriting. That specific controlled script.The kind that looked like confidence and was actually performance.Three years in federal prison. Life sentence for bigamy, fraud, drugging, conspiracy, financial crimes, and connection to Covenant operations. No possibility of parole.He'd written me a letter.I poured the coffee. Sat down. Picked up the envelope.Opened it.Two pages. Both sides filled. That same controlled handwriting slightly degraded at the edges. Prison had changed his penmanship if nothing else.*Aria.*Not Dear Aria. Just the name. Establishing something immediately.*I've spent three years thinking about what to write to you. Three years deciding whether to write at all. I'm not writing because I think you want to hear from me. I'm writing because I have things to say and no other way to say them.**You destroyed my life. That's the simple vers
