Chapter 111: The Beginning of the Custody Battle

JACOB POVTwo days after Iris walked out of the Mayer building I stopped feeling sorry for myself. Started doing something.The city had spent forty-eight hours talking about my mistakes, looking into my life, and making my family into a big show and while everyone else was trying to get attention I was trying to change the story.A scandal can stay alive when people control what's being said.It starts to fade when someone else takes control of it.My legal team got that.So did I.That was why I was in my office before the sun came up looking at the version of the statement on my desk while the city outside had no idea what was coming.The document looked simple and professional.Lawyers had checked every sentence, people who deal with the public, and experts in crises, and every word was chosen for a reason.There was no language, no arguing, and no accusations.Just the clean facts.The kind that sounds responsible even when they are changing people's lives.I sat back in my chair

Chapter 112: An Unexpected Proposal

KATHRYN POVIris showed up at my place twenty minutes after I called him. The fact that he got here fast told me a lot.He did not seem to be in a hurry when he opened the penthouse door and walked in. He was not out of breath. The way he got here so quickly made me think that something was going on. I did not ask him where he was before I called because I already had an idea.He was not away.He did not seem to be in a hurry when he opened the penthouse door and walked in.This thought should have made me feel weird.Instead, it made me feel better.I was still sitting at the kitchen counter when Iris walked in. The cup of coffee next to me was cold. The city outside was grey and quiet. The silence in the penthouse felt like it could break if we spoke loudly.Iris did not waste time with hello.He pulled out a chair. Sat down across from me. He looked at me with a gaze that made me sit up straight.Then he spoke."Katherine, I need you to listen to me carefully."His voice was not so

Chapter 113: Some Wounds Never Leave

KATHRYN POVThe realization hit me harder than I expected.Iris had chased opportunities. Iris had chased ambition.Somewhere I had spent years trying not to revisit.I could see flowers. I could hear music. I could feel the weight of hundreds of eyes watching me.Waiting.My fingers curled against the edge of the counter.The memory arrived with clarity.The dress. The veil.The shaking hands I had hidden beneath bouquets and smiles.The certainty that my entire future was moments away.Then.Nothing.No groom. No explanation.Just whispers, confusion, and humiliation.A space where Iris was supposed to be standing.I sucked in a breath.The memory vanished. The damage remained.Outside the city continued exactly as it always did.Cars moved through the streets.People hurried toward jobs and meetings.The world hadn’t stopped.Yet it felt like mine had.“Iris."My voice barely rose above a whisper.The glass reflected my face to me.I looked composed.Behind me, I heard Iris shift s

Chapter 114: What You Call Love, I Call Survival

KATHRYN POVI shift my weight a little trying to steady myself because what I am about to say is not just saying no.It is leaving."I want to leave," I said.These words seem easy. Too easy for how much they mean.I do not want to talk about it or make deals I say.I do not want another version of my life where I am standing in kitchens like this trying to live with decisions that other people made.My throat gets tight. I keep talking."I want to be with Celine.” Saying her name makes me feel a little better even as it makes me more sure about what I want.No connection to the Mayer name no connection to the people they know no past following us we go.I stop for a moment letting it all sink in."I want a life that does not feel like I am always paying for something I did not choose."This last thing I say is quieter than the rest. It means more than everything else I said.For a moment I think he might say something.He does not.This is harder to deal with than if he were arguing.
