All Chapters of He Divorced Me, Now He's Begging for My Love: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"I think you should leave, Damien." Evelyn said.Damien picked up his coat from the chair. “All right. I’ll leave.” He paused near the door. “ I’m serious about your father, I still think you’re giving up too easily on his case.”“Damien. It's been 6 years”“No. Listen to me.” His voice softened. “I knew that man. Someone bringing him down doesn’t make sense to me.”“Or maybe, he is guilty of those charges?”“I don’t believe that.”“Well, I do. Goodbye, Damien.”For a second he looked like he wanted to argue again, but instead he sighed.“Fine. I’ll wait for your answer about the deal.”“You might wait forever.” Evelyn murmured.She leaned back in her chair and stared at nothing in particular.Her father's chapter was something she didn't want to reopen.Damien bringing it up now didn’t do anything. It only made her remember that she had once believed she could fix it.And that belief was the part that hurt the most when she thought about it.*******************Outside the LUXE build

Priya had an appointment today with Dr Sheena that she called then. She had told Aidan she had errands. She had not told him where she was going or why because she was not ready to hand him a confirmation of something that was still a careful, private theory.She walked because the morning was clear and because she thought better on foot.She was on Corso Buenos Aires, about halfway, when she saw him. He was across the street. Priya slowed down instinctively. Cars moved between them, people crossing the road, scooters weaving through traffic.Then the man turned slightly toward the streetlights.Priya stopped walking.Marcus.Her stomach tightened immediately.Marcus Webb? "What the hell?!" Priya murmured. Her legs immediately started moving towards his direction.He entered a black car and Priya had to speed up immediately. She nearly got hit by a passing scooter.A horn blasted loudly.“Jesus,” someone cursed at her.She ignored it.The black car moved deeper into traffic.Priya cro

Leon was too tired to speak when Evelyn and Daniel came in to see him. Evelyn was holding him when Dr. Moreau asked her if they could have a brief talk.The room had gone quiet. Machines hummed softly beside the bed. Daniel looked at her and said it was ok.Evelyn kissed his forehead before following Dr. Moreau into the corridor.The doctor waited until they were several steps away from the room before speaking. He had Leon's file in his hand"Ms. Cole, there is something we need to discuss." She did not like the tone he used." Go on, Dr Moreau,""The episodes are becoming more frequent." He startedShe swallowed. "I know." she replied, trying to sound calm."The medication is helping.""But?"Dr Moreau sighed."We need Leon's biological father's complete medical history," he said. "A full genetic background. Family cardiac records going back at least two generations if possible."Evelyn looked at him. "We've managed without it so far." she said."We have.""Then why is it suddenly a

Leon came home after a few days, Dr Moreau assured he was okay for now.He walked out of the hospital on his own two feet slowly, and with Evelyn's hand in his. They were going towards the lot, where Evelyn’s driver was."Better?" Evelyn said."Much better." He looked around the hospital’s parking lot. Completely ordinary Milan doing its completely ordinary thing.Leon soon spotted a pop-up stall and his eyes lit up. "Mommy, can we get gelato?""Baby, we're about to leave and you just left the hospital.""That's exactly why we should get gelato."She looked at him.He looked back with enormous eyes."One scoop," she said. He jumped with excitement.By the time they got home Leon had eaten his gelato, given Evelyn a detailed analysis of why pistachio was objectively the best flavour, asked three questions about a building they passed that had interesting windows, and announced that he intended to go back to school on Monday."We'll see what Dr. Moreau says," Evelyn said, unlocking the

The investigator's name was Sal.His office was on the second floor of an old building. Small office, no sign on the door. The kind of place people walked past every day without noticing.Damien had worked with him befor so he trusted him.Sal was good at finding things basically. He wasn't really legal but he was legit.When Damien walked in, Sal looked serious."Sit, Mr Damien" Sal said.Damien sat down.A thick folder landed on the desk between them."I found something."Damien looked at the folder."How serious is it?"Sal gave a short laugh."Serious enough."He opened the file. Inside were pages of financial records from Richard Cole's case.Damien frowned as his eyes went through them."I've seen these before.""Yeah, just keep looking."Sal placed another set of documents beside the first.At first they looked identical.Same dates, same companies, same accounts.Then Damien noticed it.The numbers were different, not by much but just enough.His eyes narrowed."These aren't t
