HANNAH'S POV:

Lucas appeared beside me so quickly that he must have been watching the door the whole time.

He sat down in the chair Rowan had just vacated and looked at my face. "How bad?" he said.

"Not bad," I said. "He did not say anything we can take to court. But he said enough."

"The legacy comment."

"Kojo's people got it?"

"Everything," Lucas said. "Crystal clear."

I nodded slowly. "He knows about my mother's history. Not in the general way that anyone reading the press materials knows. I

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Being An Understanding Wife

    MARY'S POV:The name hit me like a slap."Vesper," I said carefully."An old friend from the university. She's dealing with some things—her lease is up, and there's some construction at her new place, and she doesn't have anywhere else to go. I said she could crash here for a few weeks. Maybe a month." He took a sip of his coffee, watching me over the rim of the mug. "I meant to tell you last night, but it was too late when I got home, and then everything with Elowen happened, and I just… I didn't get the chance."An old friend.The same words he had used before. The same lie, wrapped in slightly different packaging."She's here now?" I asked. Pretending I didn't already know."She arrived late last night. I let her in while you were putting Elowen to bed." He set down his mug and crossed his arms, and his expression shifted into something almost like expectation. Like he was waiting for me to object so he could dismiss it. "I'd appreciate it if you made her feel welcome. Cook a few o

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Love He Hid From Me

    MARY'S POV:Somewhere deep down, in a place I didn't want to acknowledge, I realized the truth: I still wanted to believe him. Even now. Even after seeing Vesper in that bed. Some pathetic, desperate part of me still wanted all of this to be a nightmare. I wanted the video to be edited. I wanted Vesper to be just an old friend. I wanted there to be some perfectly innocent explanation for why she was sleeping in my guest room in the middle of the night.Because if I asked the questions out loud—if I said the words are you sleeping with her or do you love her or have you ever loved me at all—then they would become real. They would exist in the world, spoken aloud, impossible to take back. And I wasn't sure I was ready for that kind of reality.So I had stayed silent.I had closed the door.And I had pretended, just like I had been pretending for seven years, that everything was fine.A car engine rumbled outside the window.I leaned toward the crack in the curtains and peered out throug

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Woman Before Me

    MARY'S POV:I sat on the edge of Elowen's bed long after she had fallen asleep, my back pressed against the headboard, my knees drawn up to my chest like a child hiding from a thunderstorm.I hadn't slept at all.I couldn't sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Vesper's face on that pillow—peaceful, beautiful, utterly unbothered by the destruction she had brought into my home. Every time I let my breathing slow, I saw her dark hair spread across the white sheets like ink spilled on fresh snow. I saw her lips, slightly parted in sleep. I saw her bare shoulder, exposed and vulnerable and somehow still looking like she belonged there, in my house, in my guest room, in the bed where my husband had promised to sleep alone.And the worst part, the part that kept twisting through my mind like a knife, was that neither of them knew I had seen.I had stood in that doorway, frozen, my hand still on the frame, my breath caught somewhere between my throat and my chest. I had watched them. I h

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Other Woman in My House

    MARY'S POV: Something shifted in his expression. Not guilt, I don't think Alistair was capable of guilt, not really. But something softer. Something almost like the man I had married, buried somewhere beneath the layers of selfishness and entitlement. He stepped closer and reached out and took my hands in his. His palms were warm, familiar. I had held these hands at our wedding. I had held them in hospital rooms when Elowen was born. I had held them through the deaths of people we loved and the birth of dreams we never got around to chasing. "I'm sorry," he said, and his voice was softer now and nore gentler. The voice he used when he wanted something from me. "I'm sorry about yelling at Elowen. I shouldn't have done that. I was… I don't know. I was frustrated. The flight was long, and the reporters were everywhere, and I wasn't thinking clearly." He squeezed my fingers. "I was drunk, Mary. In that video. I'd had too much to drink, and I wasn't thinking straight, and I said some

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   Trust, Broken Twice

    MARY'S POV:He frowned. That familiar, dismissive frown that I had grown to hate more than almost anything else about him. Not the frown itself, but what it represented: the complete and utter refusal to take anything I said seriously."What are you talking about?" he asked.I almost laughed. Almost. The sound was right there in my throat, bubbling up like something bitter and acidic. Seven years of marriage, and he could stand there with cake still drying on his collar and ask me what are you talking about as if I had just accused him of leaving the toilet seat up.I pulled out my phone. Opened the video and pressed play.His voice filled the foyer—clear, sharp, unmistakably his. "We're the ones truly in love. She didn't interfere in anything. None of this is her fault."I watched his face as he watched himself. For a moment, just a fraction of a second, something flickered there. Something that might have been recognition. Or guilt. Or the brief, panicked realization that he had bee

  • The Unwanted Wife's Return (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back)   The Promise Breaker

    MARY'S POV:The cake was still dripping off Alistair's shirt when he finally spoke again.Not to Elowen. Not to apologize or get down on his knees and beg forgiveness from the tiny, sobbing girl who had just decorated him in buttercream and sprinkles. No, that would have required a type of self-awareness that Alistair had never possessed, not in all the years I had known him.Instead, he turned to me."Is this how you teach her?"His voice was cold and measured. The same tone he used when a subordinate at work made a mistake—not angry, exactly, but deeply, profoundly disappointed. As if I had done something wrong. As if I had driven our six-year-old daughter to throw a birthday cake at her own father's chest.I opened my mouth to respond, but he wasn't finished."Don't speak to your father like this," he snapped, and this time his voice was aimed at Elowen, sharp and harsh. "You're six years old. You don't talk to me that way. Ever."Elowen froze.I watched it happen—the way her small
