KAREN.

I knew something was wrong the second I heard a car horn outside the house. It wasn't the normal little beep someone used when they arrived. It was long and dramatic, like somebody wanted the whole street to know they were here. I looked through the window and almost burst out laughing. Janet climbed out of her car wearing a sparkling silver jacket that shone under the afternoon sun. Across her chest was a bright pink sash with huge letters that said, ALMOST MRS MITCHELL. She carried bag

  • Dear Billionaire Ex-husband, I Moved On    Chapter 109

    KAREN.The next morning, I pulled my dressing gown tighter around me and walked into the kitchen while Sophie happily poured cereal into her bowl. She was humming a little song she had learned at school, completely lost in her own world, and Jason had left very early that morning for work. for I made myself a hot cup of coffee and picked up my phone to check for any recent emails when the news alert flashed across the screen. My heart dropped the second I read it. Victor Hale's sentencing had been scheduled for Thursday. Two days before my wedding.I stared at the screen for so long that my coffee went cold."Mommy?"Sophie's little voice pulled me back."You forgot the milk."I blinked and looked at her smiling face. She was swinging her legs under her chair as if the world was the safest place anyone could ever live. She had no idea why I had suddenly gone quiet. She only cared about whether her cereal had enough milk and whether I remembered to pack her favorite snack."I'm sorry,

    JASON.I knew Marcus had planned something for my bachelor night, but I was not ready for what I found when I walked into a private room above one of the busiest bars in downtown Boston. Music filled the room, people laughed so loudly that the walls seemed to shake, and eleven familiar faces turned toward me at once. The long table was already covered with food and drinks, and Marcus stood in the middle of it all with both arms spread wide like he had just won an award. Then my eyes landed on Gerald, sitting quietly at the bar with a glass of whisky in his hand. He looked a little uncomfortable in the middle of all the noise, but somehow he still looked perfectly calm and dignified."There he is!" Marcus shouted. "The poor fool getting married!"Everyone cheered.I laughed and shook my head. "You're all impossible."Marcus threw an arm around my shoulders. "Tonight isn't about being sensible. Tonight is about making sure you have stories you'll never admit happened.""I already don't

    KAREN.I knew something was wrong the second I heard a car horn outside the house. It wasn't the normal little beep someone used when they arrived. It was long and dramatic, like somebody wanted the whole street to know they were here. I looked through the window and almost burst out laughing. Janet climbed out of her car wearing a sparkling silver jacket that shone under the afternoon sun. Across her chest was a bright pink sash with huge letters that said, ALMOST MRS MITCHELL. She carried bags in both hands and wore the biggest grin I had ever seen.Jason walked into the hallway beside me, looked outside for one second, then slowly turned around."Nope," he said. "I'm leaving before she sees me."I laughed. "You're really abandoning me?"He kissed my forehead."I'm not abandoning you. I'm surviving."Before I could answer, Janet pushed the front door open without waiting for permission."There she is!" she shouted. "The bride!""I'm not even dressed," I said."You don't need to be.

    KARENBy the time I got home from work that evening, I was ready to take off my shoes, change into comfortable clothes, and pretend the rest of the world didn't exist for a few hours.The day itself had been productive, but productive days still had a way of leaving me tired. Between meetings, reports, and the endless stream of decisions that came with running A.A. Biotech, my brain felt pleasantly exhausted.The moment I stepped through the front door, however, I knew peace wasn't going to happen immediately.Sophie came running down the hallway at full speed."Mommy!"I barely had time to put down my bag before she launched herself into my arms.I laughed and hugged her tightly."Hello, sweetheart.""You took forever.""I was gone for one workday.""Exactly."I smiled."I missed you too."She nodded seriously."Welcome back."Before I could respond, my phone began ringing from inside my handbag.I reached in for it.Richard.The timing made me smile.We had spoken earlier that day a

    RICHARDThe decision didn't arrive all at once.It didn't come after some dramatic revelation or life-changing conversation.Instead, it settled quietly into my mind over the course of several weeks, becoming harder to ignore every time I looked out the window of my apartment.Seattle had once been the city where I believed I would spend the rest of my life.In this city, I had built my career, made my fortune, lost my marriage, fought corporate war and learned what regret truly felt like.For a long time, I had convinced myself that staying was the responsible thing to do. My work was here. My history was here. My mother was here. Every familiar street reminded me of who I had been, and perhaps I believed I deserved those reminders.Lately, though, I had begun to wonder whether constantly looking backward was stopping me from moving forward.Every coffee shop carried a memory. Every office building reminded me of meetings that had once felt more important than going home. Every road

    JASONI woke up because the other side of the bed was cold.At first, I thought Karen had simply gone downstairs to get a glass of water. It happened every now and then whenever she couldn't sleep, especially after a stressful day at work. Usually, she would wander into the kitchen, make herself tea, stare out the window for a few minutes, and quietly come back to bed.I reached across the mattress anyway. The sheets were cool, which meant that she had been gone longer than a few minutes.I blinked away the last traces of sleep and looked toward the bathroom.The light was off.The bedroom was almost completely dark except for the soft glow of moonlight slipping through the curtains. The digital clock beside the bed read 2:17 a.m., and the entire house was wrapped in the kind of silence that only existed in the middle of the night.I quietly climbed out of bed, placing my feet gingerly on the floor to avoid making much noise.As I stepped into the hallway, I immediately saw her.Karen

    Karen's POV"I know about Lena."Richard's hand paused mid-reach for his coffee cup. The morning sun streamed through the dining room windows, catching the steam rising from his untouched breakfast. Around us, the staff moved quietly, setting out fresh fruit and refilling water glasses as if this w

    Daddy!Richard's POVI could not stop seeing her in that red suit.Karen. My Karen. Except she was not mine anymore and maybe she never had been. The woman on that stage had been someone else entirely. Confident, articulate, commanding. She had owned that room in a way I never imagined her capable

    Karen's POVThe Grand Hyatt ballroom glittered with crystal chandeliers and the low hum of power.
