Worth Every Million Chapter 7
I woke up thinking about his arm against mine and I was not happy about it. It was barely six in the morning and the first thing my brain decided to do was replay the feeling of Damien’s arm resting against mine for the rest of that dinner and I lay there staring at the ceiling feeling genuinely annoyed with myself. Three days. It had been three days since my husband handed me over and here I was lying in a borrowed bed thinking about a man I had not known existed a week ago. I got up because lying there was making it worse. I found the coffee on the third shelf of the third cupboard in the kitchen after checking every other cupboard first. I was standing at the machine waiting for it to finish when I heard footsteps in the hallway and turned around to find Damien standing in the doorway in a grey t-shirt and dark trousers with no jacket and no tie and nothing of the armour he wore every other time I had seen him. I had not been prepared for that. Every version of him I had seen

Claire knocked on my door at four in the afternoon with the kind of smile that meant she was about to tell me something I wasn’t going to like. “Mr. Voss wanted me to let you know there’s a business dinner this evening,” she said. “Eight guests. It starts at seven so he’d like you ready by six thirty. I know it’s short notice and I’m sorry about that.” I stared at her. “Tonight.” “Tonight, yes.” I almost laughed. Three days in this apartment and the man couldn’t give me more than two hours notice before throwing me into a room full of his business associates. I wanted to say that out loud but Claire was just the messenger and she looked genuinely apologetic so I swallowed it. “Where,” I said. “The Alderton.” Of course. Of course it was the Alderton. I had walked past the Alderton with Daniel once, maybe two years ago, and he had pointed it out and said maybe one day and I had believed him. I had believed so many things. “I don’t have anything to wear to the Alderton,” I said.

I made it back to my room.That was the most I could say about it. I made it back and I got the door closed behind me and then my legs just stopped working and I ended up sitting on the floor with my back against the door and my knees pulled up to my chest and my face buried in them.A year.He had been doing this for a year. A year of coming home to me. A year of eating my food and sleeping in my bed and kissing my forehead in the morning and saying I love you like it was true. A year of me lying awake at night thinking something was wrong with me. Thinking I wasn’t enough. Thinking if I could just figure out what he needed, what I was missing, what I could do differently, maybe the distance would close.I had been trying to fix myself for a year while he was with someone else.I pressed my face harder into my knees and I cried. Not the quiet kind, not the controlled kind, not the kind where you keep it together enough that you could pretend later it hadn’t happened. The real kind. T

The rules were still in my pocket when I woke up.I had fallen asleep in my clothes without meaning to, somewhere between staring at the ceiling and going through the breakfast conversation for the hundredth time, and I woke up with the folded paper pressed against my hip and the city blazing outside the window and the full weight of where I was landing on me all at once.I sat up.I pulled the list out and read number seven again.In all matters within this residence and in public, you will defer to Mr. Voss. His word is final.His word is final.I had spent seven years deferring to Daniel. Not because he demanded it. That almost would have been easier to see. It happened so gradually I didn’t notice I was doing it until it was just who I was. I chose restaurants he liked without thinking about it. Watched what he wanted to watch. Laughed at the right times and stayed quiet at the right times and shaped myself around him so smoothly that somewhere along the way I stopped being able t

I didn’t sleep.I lay in that bed and stared at the ceiling and went through it again and again and again the way you do when something has happened that your brain refuses to fully accept. Daniel at the table. His hands folded. His calm voice explaining what he had done like it was a business transaction he was briefing me on. Like I was a colleague and not his wife. Not the woman who had given him seven years and a painted hallway and every version of herself she had.Every time I closed my eyes I saw his face.Every time I opened them I remembered where I was and that was somehow worse.I watched the city outside the window go from black to dark blue to that flat grey it turned just before sunrise. I watched it happen and I didn’t move and I didn’t sleep and by the time the light was fully up I had been lying there for hours and I was exhausted in a way that had nothing to do with tiredness.I got up at seven. Showered. Put on the jeans and white shirt I had grabbed without looking

The drive took forty minutes and I was furious for every single one of them.I sat in the back of that car and stared out the window and went through it all again. Every piece of it. The forehead kiss. The coffee. The I love you. Three weeks of knowing and saying nothing. And underneath all of it, growing louder the longer I sat with it, one question I couldn’t stop turning over.Why me.Not why did he do it. I understood why he did it – he was a coward who took the easiest way out and I had spent seven years making it easy for him. I understood that perfectly.What I didn’t understand was why the man he owed money to had asked for me specifically.I googled Damien Voss.Thirty six years old. Started with nothing, built an empire. Powerful, ruthless, the kind of man people wrote about carefully because they were afraid of getting it wrong. Nobody said anything bad about him in print.There was one quote. A journalist asked him what he wanted.He said everything.I put my phone away an
