Chapter Thirty-One—The Suspect list “They’re saying I did this?!!!” Gianna bolted up to her feet as she pointed at a nonexistent building outside the window, “They think I burned down SAN!?!” Scoffing loudly, “That’s bullshit!” It was a ludicrous claim. She hoped for something terrible to happen to her ex husband, wished she would torture him in ways no one can, but even she couldn’t pull off something as magnanimous as burning down the company building. SAN limited was huge, probably one of the biggest buildings in the country. A massive fire like that could take decades of planning, one she didn’t have. She wanted to take him down the normal way…the plain ol’ craftiness of the business world—- and she was winning. “Well it’s what the news is saying Gianna,” Aiden shrugged, “This isn’t good for us.” She blinked, the first thread of panic weaving through her, “Wh…what do you mean?” “Investors might want to drop out of the bid Gian

Chapter Thirty-three—Who did it?? The NYPD Precinct was as haggard as it looked. Gianna’s nose twitched at the stench of hardened criminals, from drug dealers to homeless crackheads. She could even hear the murmurs from the jailed hookers who thought she was too posh, and the catcalls from the other hardened offenders made her shudder as she was being escorted to the detective’s table. They didn’t put cuffs on her which she was thankful for, after all she was being accused of a crime she had no business committing. Aiden almost put up a fight, wanting to punch an officer who tried to rough handle her on the face. Luckily she was levelheaded, agreeing to cooperate to avoid catching the media’s eye. “It was quite the performance you put out to the press Miss Lawson.” The detective murmured as he whipped out a Pen, Gianna couldn’t help but notice the peculiar mole sticking out of his sideburn. She frowned, folding her arms lightly, “I don’t know what

Chapter Thirty-Five—A Step-to Step Guide on how to win your wife back Aiden Cumberman’s grip around the steering wheel tightened as he spotted Gianna and her ex husband by the side of the road, just before he parked right in front of the both of them. She looked distressed, he noticed, only a few minutes away from bursting into tears. Slamming the door hard behind him, he stormed out of the car and right towards Justin who he grabbed by the collar, “You bastard!!”. Frowning deeply, Justin placed a hand over his, a clear warning to back off before he hurled the man against the stairs, “The last thing you want is getting arrested. Trust me, I can put up a fight.” Gianna knew he wasn’t lying, Justin was a two-time taekwondo champion at regionals during his late teen years. He always used to brag about it, and how he could chop a block with his bare hands. She used to roll her eyes at his incessant boasts, right until he sent a man to the hospital for justo

Chapter Thirty-Seven—A Step-to Step Guide on how to win your wife back(3) She could taste the barbecue sauce in his mouth, or was it hers? She couldn’t tell. He was a good kisser. She was taken aback for sure by his sudden gesture, hesitated even but before she knew, she was kissing him back. It was a crazy move, one which she knew was outlandish. She was out of her mind, kissing her friend like this. He tasted good, she couldn’t help it as he placed a hand on her waist before he propped her up on the dining table. “I’ve wanted to do this for so long.” He groaned inside her mouth, “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this.” She was out of breath, their tongues fighting for dominance over each other. as she dug a fistful of hand into his black curly hair. She wanted more, it was crazy but she wanted more. Aiden almost screamed for joy, as the woman he fantasized a lot about getting naked was here locking lips with him.

Chapter Thirty-Nine—A Step-to Step Guide on how to win your wife back(5) Step Two—A gesture of apology. It was Carolyne’s second advice to him over the phone right after he’d written a list. It kept him up all night, after a long process of soul searching. He wasn’t sole bent on her methods but a part of him felt so much better, after writing down all the shitty atrocities he’d committed the past few years. It was a long list. He wasn’t sure where to begin and Carolyne advised to just start small. He was going to just drop the flowers off at her office, a stupid idea right after she’d accused him of doing so before—-it was worth a shot, as he was desperate to be in the good graces of his ex wife. “Are you stalking me?!!” Gianna’s eyes, blazing red. “No!” He stuttered, “No—not anymore…I promise.” He was the last person she wanted to see, not after the disastrous night with Aiden. He looked different, relaxed almost even with the dark smu
