You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn Ethan
The interview panel immediately rose to their feet.“Mrs. Sterling.”She acknowledged them with a small nod before her eyes briefly settled on Genevieve. Recognition flickered between them. Victoria smiled politely.“If you don’t mind, I’d like to continue the interview from here.”“Of course,” Thomas replied as he slid Genevieve’s résumé toward her.Victoria took her seat and quietly read through the file for several moments before looking up.“Mrs. Vaughn…” She folded her hands neatly together. “Why Sterling Group?”Genevieve met her gaze without hesitation. She needed to stay composed.“Because Sterling Group has built something people trust. It isn’t just known for fashion. It’s known for consistency, quality, and the people who represent it.” A faint smile touched her lips. “I’d like to contribute to that.”Victoria nodded once.“A fair answer.”She turned another page before asking her next question.“Sterling Group has a strict policy against favoritism.” She let the words sett
You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn Victoria Sterling
Isabella sat alone in her office, but the stack of documents spread neatly across her desk remained untouched. She couldn’t focus. Her thoughts kept drifting back to Olive — more specifically, to the threat Olive had made.If you tell Desmond the truth about Clara… I’ll tell him yours.The words echoed relentlessly inside her head. She slowly leaned back in her chair, her fingers tapping against the polished wood of her desk. For decades, she had protected that secret while carefully preserving the flawless image of the Vaughn family. Every sacrifice she had made, every lie she had told, and every decision she had taken had been for one purpose—to protect both of her sons from the kind of miserable life she had endured. She wanted them admired, respected, and untouchable in the eyes of the world. She wasn't about to let a cheap girl like Olive destroy everything she had spent a lifetime building.Her thoughts drifted back to the day she had first met Olive at the hospital, moments bef

Genevieve stood in front of the towering residential building, her gaze drifting over its glass exterior as her phone vibrated in her hand. The number flashing across the screen belonged to her lawyer. She answered almost immediately.“Good morning.”“Good morning, Mrs. Genevieve” His calm, professional voice came through the speaker. “I wanted to update you personally. The revised divorce papers were delivered last night.”Genevieve closed her eyes briefly.“…Has he signed them?”A short silence followed.“Not yet.”For reasons she couldn’t explain, the answer didn’t surprise her. She had known Desmond long enough to understand he wasn’t a man who surrendered easily. It was almost ironic. He had spent months making her feel as though their marriage had become a burden, yet now that she was finally walking away, he refused to let go.“We’ve also included a formal notice. If he continues refusing to cooperate, we’ll proceed with the legal process.”Genevieve remained quiet for a moment
You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn I thought I was doing the right thing
The bedroom remained shrouded in silence as it was already night. Desmond lay flat on his back, one arm tucked beneath his head, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. Sleep refused to come. Every time he closed his eyes, the image of the divorce papers resurfaced, followed by Genevieve’s face… and then the look in her eyes the night everything fell apart. Beside him, Olive shifted beneath the covers. She had been watching him for several minutes. “You haven’t slept.” Desmond didn’t answer. She turned onto her side to face him. “Is something bothering you?” Still, no response. The silence between them stretched until it became almost unbearable. Olive slowly sat up. “Desmond…” Without a word, he threw the blanket aside and climbed out of bed. She frowned. “Where are you going?” “I’m okay.” His voice was flat. He picked up a hoodie from the chair, slipped it over his shoulders, and walked toward the bedroom door. “Desmond.” He paused for only a second. “I just need some air. Yo
You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn Still his wife
Neither woman answered.For several long seconds, Isabella simply stared at Olive. The threat still echoed in her ears."If you do that… I’ll tell Desmond the truth."The words had shaken her far more than she was willing to admit. She had spent years protecting that secret, years making certain it would never reach her son’s ears. She refused to let everything she had sacrificed crumble because of the woman standing across from her.Without another word, Isabella lowered her eyes and walked toward the bed. Desmond frowned in confusion as she picked up the brown envelope resting on the mattress. Only then did she turn back to him.“Come downstairs. We need to talk.”She didn’t wait for a response. The bedroom door opened and closed behind her, leaving an uneasy silence in its wake.Desmond remained where he stood for another moment. His gaze settled on Olive. She looked exhausted. Her face was pale, and although she tried to appear composed, he noticed the faint tremble in her fingers
You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn Does the Vaughn know?
The meeting had been in progress for almost twenty minutes, yet Desmond Vaughn couldn’t remember a single word that had been said. Around the polished conference table, department heads took turns presenting reports, discussing projected profits, upcoming acquisitions, and investment opportunities. Charts appeared on the large screen at the front of the room while figures and percentages filled the air.Normally, Desmond would have corrected a misplaced decimal before anyone else noticed. Today, his attention was nowhere near the meeting. His mind kept drifting back to the previous night and the moment he had stood in the dim corridor outside the restrooms, staring at Genevieve as though the world had stopped turning.He had rehearsed countless conversations in his head over the past few weeks. He had imagined apologizing, explaining, and even begging for another chance. Yet when she had finally stood in front of him, none of those words had come. Then her aunt had appeared, and withi
