Romy turned toward the wardrobe. “It’s okay, I can finish the rest myself.”

He looked at the shelves that had once held her clothes. Only two neat stacks remained.

“All right.”

Devon left her to pack and walked to the study at the far end of the corridor.

He closed the door behind him.

Caroline called again before he reached his desk.

Her name had appeared on his phone so many times since the assessment today, that the latest call no longer looked urgent. It looked like a demand that had

    When Eleanor brought out pudding, Devon noticed a dish of mango sauce on the tray.“Not that one,” he said before the mango sauce reached Romy. His hand lifted instinctively between the dish and her plate. “She’s allergic.”Eleanor stopped.“I know,” Liam said, indicating the smaller bowl beside Eleanor. “I asked her to make Romy’s separately before we started.”Romy looked from the safe dessert to Devon.Weeks earlier, he had not known enough about his wife to prevent a mango cake from being placed in front of her. Tonight, he remembered before the plate reached the table.Liam had remembered before the pudding was made.Romy took the separate bowl and thanked Eleanor, not either man.“Thank you, Eleanor.”Monday entered the conversation when Mr Evans asked about reporting time.“I’m driving my wife to the center,” Devon said, his use of the title too deliberate to be accidental.Liam set down his spoon without reacting to the emphasis. “I’ll meet Romy inside with the coaching staff.

    Devon had intended to wait in the car.Romy’s message had said that supper was running late and that he could collect her at seven. It had not invited him inside.He arrived at seven precisely, parked behind Eleanor’s convertible, and told the driver he would take the wheel on the return journey.Before he could send Romy a message, the front door opened.Eleanor stood beneath the porch light.“Mr Kensington.”Her greeting was faultless.The woman who had arrived at his house with music playing and an embrace ready for Romy now offered him neither. She stepped aside and indicated the hall with the careful courtesy reserved for someone who could not be left outside but did not yet belong within.“Romy is finishing supper. You may wait in the dining room.”Devon entered.He did not need to ask whether Eleanor knew. Her use of his surname, the absence of surprise, and the cool attention with which she watched him remove his coat answered the question.Romy had chosen to tell this family.

    “Was he really leaving Britain for this?” Romy asked, looking at the word transition on the folder.Eleanor’s easy expression changed.“Yes. Everything had already moved beyond discussion,” Eleanor said.She poured more tea before continuing.“It wasn’t a decision made last week. After you disappeared, Liam spent months contacting everyone who might know where you had gone.”The terrace seemed quieter.“He called your former coaches and teammates. Whenever someone thought they had seen your name on a race list or heard that you had joined a different club, he followed it. Training camps. Sports clinics. Private rehabilitation programs.” Eleanor looked toward the garden. “Every credible report. None of them was you.”Romy’s fingers closed around the handle of her cup.She had been recovering in private hospitals under the protection of the Kensington name. Then she had entered a marriage no one in her former world knew existed.Liam had searched the places a missing swimmer might go.R

    No one pressed the matter again during the meal. The disagreement between Mr. Evens and Liam was not something a single conversation could resolve, and everyone seemed to understand that forcing an answer across the dinner table would only leave one of them unhappy.Eleanor waited until the Brazilian file had been carried into the library before announcing that Liam was responsible for pudding.“He has never learned to make it correctly,” she told Romy. “You may supervise.”Liam looked at the covered dish already waiting beside the stove. “Unless I’ve misunderstood pudding, you have already made it.”“That is the first one. You are making another.”He looked from the dish to his sister. “Why would any house need two puddings for four people?”“Because Romy needs to see what happens when you are given a task more complicated than swimming in a straight line.”Eleanor produced two aprons and left the kitchen before either of them could object.Liam watched the door close.“She has been

  • Untouched for Three Years: Leaving My Billionaire Husband and Return the Pool   Chapter 95: The House Behind the Name

    This is not the first time Romy visits the Evens’ house. Romy remembered the staircase.Years earlier, half the junior squad had thrown wet jackets over its polished rail after Liam brought them home from an event. Kit bags had filled the space beneath it. Music had traveled through the open terrace doors, and three hungry swimmers had argued over the last roast potato while someone shouted from the garden for another football.The house in Romy’s memory was crowded and moving.Liam had moved through it with the same easy balance he carried in the water. He found towels, brought out more food, and made thirty young athletes behave as though arriving in a country house with muddy shoes was not an offense that required apology.Romy had remembered warmth.She had not remembered the house itself.On this quieter Sunday, the familiar entrance rearranged around details the crowd had hidden.The wall where several swimmers had once balanced paper plates held scale models beneath glass. One

    Devon came down the front steps carrying Romy’s light day bag. He didn't seem to take offense at what Eleanor said.Eleanor’s attention moved to him, then back to the car.“I see. A board meeting with wheels.”Romy pressed her lips together.Devon did not smile. “It was brought around in case Romy preferred a driver.”“On a Sunday?” Eleanor looked up at the unexpected strip of blue between the clouds. “A holiday should look like one. Wind, music, and a vehicle that doesn’t make its passengers feel late for a funeral.”The joke concerned the Maybach.The glance she gave Kensington Manor suggested it might have applied to more.Before Devon could answer, Eleanor crossed the drive and wrapped both arms around Romy.The embrace came without warning and without the careful hesitation people had begun using around her injured shoulder. Romy stiffened for half a second, then returned it.Eleanor stepped back and held her at arm’s length.“There you are.”Her eyes moved over Romy’s face and p

    Rebecca felt herself go rigid.Slowly, she turned back. “Coach Miller,” she said quietly.“It really is you.” Miller reached her in several long strides.The face that had stared down champions, sponsors, and entire committees without softening was now filled with disbelief. His gaze moved over her

    Rebecca kept walking.Her wet footprints marked the tile behind her until the changing-room door swung open.Then Chloe’s voice broke through the poolside murmur.“Wait—that badge. Isn’t that the British national swimming team training emblem?”The atmosphere shifted at once.Rebecca stopped with h

    “Hey, look, isn’t that Vance?” Sophia asked aloud, with sudden interest. “Who’s that woman with him?”Chloe craned her neck to look at the entrance to the center. Curiosity quickly gave way to recognition.“Oh,” she said, drawing the word out. “That’s Catherine, isn’t it? The one Vance used to…”So

    Rain was falling outside, tapping on the windows so softly at first, that Rebecca might have missed it but the room had fallen quiet after Vance left, and every small sound was magnified.She sat on the edge of the bed and memories came crowding in.Another rainy night, years ago, when the sea had
