All Chapters of Two Exes, One Woman: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

AURORAThe jet landed in London much earlier than we expected, leaving me with plenty of time before I had to meet get ready for the summit. Instead of resting at the hotel, I decided to surprise Dora. I had been trying to reach her for weeks now, but she barely answered my calls or returned my messages.Maybe seeing me in person would finally get her to stop being upset with me.The cab pulled over in front of her residence, and I paid the driver before stepping out. As the car drove away, I stood there for a moment, taking a deep breath and staring at the familiar building.I walked toward the front door and pressed the bell.Nothing.I waited for a few seconds, listening carefully for any movement inside. When I heard nothing, I pressed the bell again.Still nothing.I frowned and knocked this time.A few moments later, I heard hurried footsteps from inside. Before I could knock again, the door suddenly swung open.I froze.Dora stepped out, and for several seconds, I could only st

AURORA Stepping into the hall for the summit, I immediately spotted Jonas moving through the crowd. He was already doing what he did best, introducing himself, shaking hands, and talking about what I assumed was the new venture our father wanted to pursue.I stayed a few steps away and watched him.Jonas had always been good at this sort of thing. He knew how to smile at the right moment, how to make people feel important, and how to keep a conversation going without saying too much. I paid attention to the little things, the way he held eye contact, the questions he asked, even the way he smoothly moved from one person to another.I stored away whatever I could learn.I might need it someday.As Jonas continued networking, my eyes wandered across the crowded hall.Then I saw him.Spencer.I had been looking for him since I walked through those doors.I excused myself from the small group around me, picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, and headed toward him.Spencer

AURORAThe flowers came again.This time, however, they came with a social media handle written beneath the message, along with a shameless invitation for me to reach out if I was curious about the identity of the person sending them. Apparently, if we clicked, he would be kind enough to give me his number.The shameless audacity.My phone vibrated against the surface of my desk, pulling my attention away from the documents Spencer passed down to me to read. Spencer looked up from the file in his hands, his eyes briefly flicking toward my phone before returning to the document.I swiped across the screen and placed the phone against my ear. “Did you find the place?”I had tasked Jonah with helping me find an apartment within my budget, and so far, he had found absolutely nothing.Honestly, I didn’t believe it was because there weren’t apartments within my price range. I suspected it had more to do with the fact that Jonah was being ridiculously picky about everything the realtors sho

AURORA“So, the plan is to make them go bankrupt, right?” Dora asked, a mischievous smile spreading across her lips as she plopped down on the bed.I nodded, unable to hide my own smile. “I am going to warm up to him on social media as Thelma Wells. Once I gain his trust, I will advise him to take whatever business advice Spencer gives him.”Dora grinned from ear to ear, threw herself backward onto the bed and burst into a loud, almost witch-like laugh.“You have no idea how much I have dreamed of this day,” she said between laughs. “The day Jasper and Ethan finally face the karma they deserve for what they did to you.”Going after Jasper had never been part of my plan. I had been more than willing to leave the past where it belonged. But after what they had done to Dora… hell, I was pissed.They crossed a line.“And speaking of you,” I said, turning the conversation back to her, “I already spoke to Jonah. He found you a position as an assistant head chef.”Dora immediately sat uprigh

SPENCER“Have you spoken to Rora?” Jonah barked into my ear, his voice filled with panic.I pulled the phone away from my ear before his shouting could damage my eardrum and stepped into the elevator. “I’m not at the office, and I can’t call her right now. I’m about to walk into a very important meeting.”The elevator gave a soft ping as the doors opened. I stepped out and adjusted my suit jacket before heading toward the conference room. “If this isn’t important, then it has to wait.”“It is important,” Jonah hissed, clearly pissed. “I haven’t spoken to Aurora, and I’m worried.”I stopped outside the conference room, my hand wrapping around the door handle. “And why are you worried about her? Is she in some kind of trouble?”“Haven’t you seen the news?”My brows furrowed.What news?“Let me call you back.”I ended the call and immediately opened my browser. The first headline that appeared on my screen made my stomach drop.THAN LOGISTICS CEO SPEAKS OUT ABOUT HIS EX-WIFE AND FORMER M
