All Chapters of Falling For My Ex-Husband's Best Friend: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

The dinner had gone far too smoothly for Jace’s liking. He had spent most of the evening talking, boasting, really, about everything he’d been doing in San Francisco since she left. He spoke about business expansions, of deals that made the local news, and of parties hosted at this very house. His voice rolled on and on, confident and controlling.Eden sat opposite him at the long oak dining table, her attention not on him but on the meal in front of her. The room smelled of fresh rosemary and seared salmon, the kind of pretentious meal he’d always preferred. She ate slowly and carefully and only responded to his monologues with small nods or an occasional noncommittal hum. It was a tactic she had learned over time: don’t give him fuel, just let him talk himself out.She tilted her wrist subtly and glanced at her watch. 8:15 p.m.She’d promised Kyrell she wouldn’t stay longer than forty-five minutes. He’d been texting, reminding her to keep to their plan. And she had already crossed t

The tears wouldn’t stop. Sky sat alone in the dimly lit closet, her knees pulled tightly against her chest, her head buried between them. The muffled sound of her soft sobs bounced off the closet walls, wrapping around her like a suffocating fog.Her entire body trembled as if grief itself had taken residence in her bones. She pressed her palms to her ears, as if that would somehow make the pain disappear. But it didn’t.She kept replaying the image of Jace and Eden sitting together in their home, the home she once believed was hers alone. The thought made her stomach twist with rage.He hadn’t just invited Eden into their house. He’d made her see to it that dinner was served. He’d given her the same hospitality he’d denied Sky for months. The same warmth that had made her fall for him once upon a time.Her jaw tightened, tears spilling faster.What did he even see in her? What was so special about Eden that he c

The loud thud of the report hitting the floor echoed through the glass-walled office.“I’ve had enough of this!” Kennedy thundered.“Enough of this, Jace! I worked my entire life to build this empire from nothing, to raise it from the dust to the height where it stands today. And what do I get in return? This—” He gestured to the abandoned report book on the floor, veins standing out on his hands. “This pile of mediocrity you call a report!”The air was thick and tense, crackling like a live wire. The city skyline stretched out behind the large glass windows, sunlight spilling into the office and reflecting off the silver fixtures. But the atmosphere inside was anything but bright.“Karen, you may leave,” Jace said without looking up, his voice low.“No.” Kennedy barked. “She stays. Karen stays right here and listens. In fact…” he turned sharply toward the yo

The word hung in the air like a sudden clap of thunder.“A divorce?” Sky’s voice cracked, her mouth parting in sheer disbelief.“Yes,” Jace answered quietly, his tone maddeningly calm as his hands slid into the pockets of his tailored black slacks. “We need to talk about this calmly without turning it into a fight. If we handle it like adults, it won’t become messy.”Sky stared at him as though he had spoken a foreign language.“Talk calmly? You’re telling me to stay calm while you end our marriage like it’s a damn contract? This is about Eden, isn’t it? She came back, and suddenly I’m disposable. No. I won’t let you walk out on me like this.” Her voice rose, sharp and wounded.“Come on, Sky.” Jace’s voice hardened now, the last bit of patience peeling away. “You’ve been miserable for months, and I’m not exactly a saint either. Let’s stop pretending this marriage still works. I’m doing you a favor. Sign the damn papers and save us both the torture.”“You can’t just… walk away!” Sky sh

“You shouldn’t be shocked to see me here,” Sky said sharply, her tone laced with venom. “I belong here. You, on the other hand, don’t.”Haley ignored her as she wheeled little Kyrell around the living room on his sleek, blue walker. The baby giggled, his soft laughter echoing through the wide, cream-toned space that opened into Gretchen’s home.Sky’s reflection stared back at her from the mirror, an image she could barely stand. Her carefully lined eyes flared when Haley refused to respond.“So, tell me, Haley,” she said, tossing her hair back. “Did your husband finally throw you out? Don’t lie to me; it’ll be of no use.”Still, Haley said nothing. She bent down to pick up Kyrell’s fallen toy, a soft gray elephant, and handed it back to him with a small smile, acting as though Sky didn’t even exist. The air thickened with tension until the sharp sound of heels clicking against marble filled the space.“What on earth are you doing here?” Gretchen’s voice sliced through the silence as s
