Watch Me Destroy You, My Ex-husband. Chapter 40
Anastasia's POV My heart skips a beat in an instant. Hearing my real name spoken aloud by a stranger sends a jolt of fear through me. But I keep my expression neutral."I don't know what you're talking about.""Please. We both know that's bullshit." He pulls out a folder and sets it on the table between us. "I've spent the last week investigating you. And let me tell you, whoever created your new identity did an excellent job. But not quite excellent enough.""What do you want?""Information." He leans back, studying me. "Liam Thompson hired me to look into Anna Brooks. And the more I dug, the more inconsistencies I found. Then I started looking at unsolved mysteries from seven years ago, and I found Anastasia Campbell. Convicted of manslaughter for a hit-and-run that killed Isabella Grayson. Supposedly died in prison during childbirth."My heart is pounding so hard I'm sure he can hear it. "That's an interesting theory.""It's more than a theory. I have before and after photos. I ha

Anastasia's POV My phone buzzes with another message and my heart immediately stops. Is it the blackmailer again?But no. It's from an unknown number, but a different one. “We should talk. Tomorrow, 2 PM, Café Noir on Fifth Street. Come alone.”I track the number immediately, since it's not hidden. The caller is Jenkins. Liam's private investigator.So it is Liam who knows. Or at least, his investigator has figured something out. But why texting to see me? My hands shake as I type back: “Why should I trust you?”The response comes immediately: “Because I have information you need. And you have information I want. Fair trade. 2 PM. Don't be late.”I stare at the message, my mind racing. This could be a trap. Jenkins could be planning to record our conversation, gather evidence for Liam to use against me.But it could also be an opportunity. If Jenkins is willing to trade information, maybe I can find out exactly what Liam knows and what he's planning.I text back: “I'll be there.”Th

Anastasia's POV "And just let them win? Let them get away with everything they did to me?" My voice rises with frustration. "Better that than having them destroy you all over again. Or worse— what if they go after Mia? What if they threaten her?" Felicity's voice is filled with concern. The thought sends ice through my veins. I hadn't considered that. If they know who I am, they might know about Mia. And if they're willing to blackmail me, who knows what else they're capable of?"I have to find out who sent this," I say firmly. "And I have to stop them before they can hurt my daughter or expose me.""And Alexander? What are you going to do about him?"I close my eyes, remembering the feel of his arms around me last night, the kiss in the vineyard, the way he looked at me when he said his feelings were real."I don't know," I whisper. "Felicity, I kissed him. I let myself care about him. I was starting to think that maybe, after all of this is over, we could actually have something
Watch Me Destroy You, My Ex-husband. Chapter 37
Anastasia's POV The drive back to Los Angeles feels unnecessarily long. Alexander keeps glancing at me with concern, clearly sensing that something has changed since last night. And he's right— everything has changed. In the span of a single text message, my carefully constructed world has been thrown into chaos.The words in the text message from last night keep echoing in my mind endlessly, accompanied by a rising panic I can barely contain."You're quiet," Alexander observes about two hours into the drive. "Having regrets about yesterday?"Yes. No. I don't know."Just thinking about work," I lie, forcing a smile. "The International medical tech presentation is coming up fast. I want to make sure everything is perfect."It's not entirely a lie. The Investors' dinner is in ten days. But that's not what's consuming my thoughts.Someone knows who I am. Someone is threatening to expose me in three days unless I stop... what? What do they want me to stop?"Anna." Alexander's hand cover
Watch Me Destroy You, My Ex-husband. Chapter 36
Anastasia's POV I think about Felicity's warning this morning. About my mission, my revenge, everything I came back to Los Angeles to accomplish. About how Alexander is the brother of the woman I was accused of killing, how he pushed for my prosecution, how he wanted me convicted.But I also think about the man who held me last night while worried about his son. Who shared his fears and hopes with me. Who just told me he cares about me with a vulnerability that couldn't be faked."No," I whisper. "I'm not running."His smile is slow and genuine. "Good."We walk back to the group hand in hand, and if anyone notices that we're both slightly disheveled, that my lips are swollen from kissing, they're polite enough not to comment. Though I do see the vineyard owner's wife give us a knowing smile.The drive back to the resort is charged with a tension. Every casual touch, his hand on my knee, my fingers brushing his arm, sends sparks through me."We should talk about what this means," Alex
Watch Me Destroy You, My Ex-husband. Chapter 35
Anastasia's POV The warmth in my chest expands, becoming almost painful. I feel so sorry for the poor boy, but I know I can't get close to him because getting close to him means getting closer to Alexander than I already am. It means putting my feelings first while my plans remain at risk. I can't let anything get in my way now. My throat tightens as I fall short of words and just respond with a bob of my head. Alexander continues, something like desperation dripping into his tone. "It would be good for him. Having a friend."He says, but I still don't respond. I have a lot of emotions bottled up inside of me already. We walk in silence for a while, both lost in thought. When we finally head back to the resort to prepare for the wine tasting, I realize that the morning has somehow felt more intimate than last night. Like we've shared something real and significant.The wine tasting is at a boutique vineyard about twenty minutes from the resort. As we pull up, I notice several othe
