HANNAH'S POV:

The verdict came six weeks later.

Castellan called at nine in the morning on a Tuesday and I was in the design room at the new building working on the winter collection when my phone rang. I saw her name and sat down on the nearest stool before I answered it.

"We won," she said.

She told me everything. The judge had found in favour of the plaintiff on all major counts. Aldric Voros had been foun

"We are going to be outnumbered.""We are already two," Andrew said. "Three more makes us five. The two of us have been operating as a unit for eight years. We have a significant strategic advantage.""We need to coordinate on our new siblings," Amelia said."I already have ideas," Andrew said.They looked at each other in that twin way and Elijah looked at me across the table."Are they planning against us already?"

    HANNAH'S POV:The doctor arrived by eleven.The twins had gone to school. I had made breakfast normally and done the normal morning things and Andrew had told me something about how muscle memory worked while he was eating his toast and I had listened to all of it with ninety percent of my attention. Amelia had done her hair at the kitchen counter again and I had let it go because I was thinking about other things. Elijah had stood at the island with his coffee and watched me with the expression he was doing his best to keep neutral.After they left for school he said, "How long have you felt like this?""A few days," I said."A few days," he said."I wanted to be sure before I said anything," I said.He nodded. He understood that. He understood most things about me by now.The doctor was calm and careful and afterwards confirmed what I had been starting to know.And then she said the second part."There are three," she said.I looked at her."Three," I said."Three," she confirmed.I

The judge had found in favour of the plaintiff on all major counts. Aldric Voros had been found to have engaged in deliberate and systematic intellectual property theft, fraudulent misrepresentation of creative authorship, and the wilful destruction of evidence. The sentence was life imprisonment, which was not a typical sentence in civil intellectual property cases but which the judge had tied to the additional criminal charges that had accumulated across the eleven designer accounts and the decades of documented conduct.And then the second part. The judge had ordered the full transfer

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Completely In You

    HANNAH'S POV:Maya was already inside when we arrived, which nobody was surprised by. She had been there since before seven, clipboard in hand, headset in place, everything in order before a single guest walked through the door.The lobby looked exactly as I had imagined it. The flowers were right. The signage was right. The catering for the reception afterward was confirmed. And Kate had done something particular with the hospitality table that Maya had tried to adjust twice and then left alone because it was honestly better than what she had planned, which Maya had informed me of in advance so I would not be caught off guard."Go and be present," Maya said when I found her. "I have everything."She did. She always had everything.Jacob and Cherry came with their little daughter Mirada, who was four months old and already conducting a very thorough ongoing assessment of the world around her with the focused attention of someone who had somewhere to be and was not going to miss anyth

    HANNAH'S POV:They didn't talk on their way back home.I was already in bed in the evening with Elijah reading beside me, when we heard the knock."Come in," I said.Andrew stood in the doorway in his planet pyjamas, they were slightly too short at the ankles now but he refused to stop wearing them because they were comfortable and Andrew had a very practical philosophy about clothing. He looked at me and then at Elijah and then back at me."I need to talk to Amelia," he said. "But I wanted to tell you first."I sat up properly. "What happened?"He came in and sat on the end of the bed and folded his hands in his lap and he looked at the duvet rather than at me."I was jealous," he said.Just like that. Clean and plain and with no attempt to soften it."Is about today," I said since I already knew."Yes. When they announced the results. I was proud of her and I was also jealous and I did not like feeling both things at the same time because they seemed like they should not be able to
