Chapter: Chapter 6: Almost Forgot He Was My Best Friend’s IdolNathaniel had a full dinner prepared, exactly to her taste. Afterward, Nora let Daisy walk her through the rest of the house.Eventually, they ended up back in her room.“This is the vanity. Your toothpaste, ma’am, let me know if you don’t like the flavor, we’ll swap it. Shampoo, body wash, the shower controls are here…”Daisy had thought of everything, right down to stocking Nora’s exact skincare brand.Once the tour wrapped up, Nora just washed her face, brushed her teeth, and called it a night, she didn’t bother asking for her full skincare set to be brought over yet.It wasn’t that she couldn’t part with the stuff at Richard’s place, or that she minded buying new. She just didn’t want to run Daisy ragged on her first night. It was already late. Tomorrow would do.“Anything else, ma’am? If not, I’ll head out. I’m right next door if you need anything.”“No, that’s all. Thank you.”Once Daisy left, Nora finally let herself collapse onto the enormous bed.Nathaniel’s mattress was unfa

Chapter: Chapter 5: His Respect Is Touching“Mr. Whitfield, ma’am, we’ve arrived.”The car stopped. The assistant stepped out first and opened the door.Nathaniel seemed pleased with how she’d been addressed. Nora just felt strange hearing it.Then came the staff, a full line of them at the entrance, bowing in unison and “strange” upgraded to “mortifying.”“Welcome home, Mrs. Whitfield!”As the chorus faded, an older man stepped forward, silver hair, neatly trimmed beard, somewhere north of fifty.“Good evening, ma’am. My name is Edmund Whitmore. You can call me Mr. Whitmore, or just Edmund if you’d prefer. Anything you need for the house, come to me directly. Here’s my card.”“I’ve already sent his contact to your phone,” Nathaniel added.Something in Nora’s chest warmed at that, unexpectedly.Richard had never made her feel like this. Even though the Sinclairs hadn’t needed the Whitfields, Richard had always treated her like a guest who’d overstayed her welcome, someone tolerated, not welcomed. She’d handled every detail of t

Chapter: Chapter 4: I Want Both Love and a Career"I'm done talking. Let's go."Nora walked back to Nathaniel's side."Not going to say goodbye to him?"Nathaniel was watching Richard, who stood watching them both with an expression that didn't match a man who'd just broken off his own engagement in front of two hundred witnesses.Nora glanced at Richard, who quickly looked away, feigning indifference. After a beat, she said, "I'll swing by the old house later for a few things."She could replace her toothbrush. But there were a few items she genuinely needed back."Don't worry. I won't touch anything of yours."Richard tried to look unbothered. Nora didn't notice either way, she was already walking toward the car with Nathaniel.At the curb, she hesitated.His assistant was driving. Nathaniel sat in the back. Logically, she should slide in beside him, but she paused, eyeing the driver's seat instead.It wasn't that she was scared of Nathaniel. It was, would he mind? She'd heard he kept his distance from women entirely. That no woman

Chapter: Chapter 3: Marrying the Cheater's Uncle? Why Not.Nora turned toward the voice. It belonged to Richard's uncle, Nathaniel Whitfield, the man who currently ran Whitfield Enterprises.He had a presence that filled the room without trying, though up until now he'd said nothing, content to stand at the edges and watch.Nora remembered him from her last life. He was the one who'd built Whitfield Enterprises into something untouchable. After she and Richard had married, the company had split in two, half to Richard and Nora, half to Nathaniel.Her half, merged with Sinclair Holdings, had become Whitfield-Sinclair Group. She'd worked herself half to death just to stand anywhere near the empire Nathaniel built on his own.He was, simply, one of the most formidable businessmen she'd ever known.In her last life, even in his fifties, he'd remained sharp, elegant, and completely unmarried. Silver-haired and devastatingly composed, he'd once told a reporter on camera, flatly, that he had no interest in women.So if he was offering himself now, w

Chapter: Chapter 2: You Have the Nerve to Break This Off in PublicHe wore a black suit and stood tall, every inch the golden boy, untouched by time, his eyes bright with the confidence of someone who'd never really been told no.Beside him, a delicate woman in a white dress leaned into his arm like she barely had bones of her own, clinging to him the way a small bird clings to a branch.To a stranger, they might have looked like a perfect couple. But everyone here knew exactly who this was: Richard Whitfield, Nora Sinclair's fiancé.And the woman on his arm was clearly not a cousin. Not a family friend.Nora had seen the photographs. She recognized her instantly.Vivian Cross.In Nora's last life, this woman had died in a car accident by now. So if she was standing here, breathing, very much alive, did that mean Richard had been reborn too?He'd died before she had. If he'd really come back, it made sense he'd have arrived here first.Nora lifted her eyes to him and swallowed the question rising in her throat. Reborn or not, it didn't matter anymore

Chapter: Chapter 1: My Husband Wants to Give Everything to His First Love?Nora Sinclair had always believed her marriage was a happy one.She and Richard Whitfield had spent decades treating each other with quiet respect, raising a bright, steady son together. After Sinclair Holdings merged with Whitfield Enterprises, the combined company had taken off, faster than either of them had dared to hope.Then Richard died. And his will was read aloud.Nora became a joke overnight.Because Richard had asked to be buried beside his first love, Vivian Cross.She wasn't an ex-wife. She wasn't even a widow of some earlier marriage. She was nothing, officially. Just a name from Richard's past.Except she wasn't entirely nothing. While going through his belongings, Nora had found photographs worn soft at the edges from being touched too many times, and letters gone yellow with age.Vivian smiled in every photo. The letters were signed with words meant only for someone loved.That was when Nora understood: the man she'd shared a bed with for thirty years had never fully
