Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

"The safest thing to do is have it locked into a trust and have you as the Trustee, then we can put Rayen as the beneficiary." My lawyer, Antonio, says.

I run a hand through my hair.

"We can't do that for all assets. That's too much power and money running in one move. Besides, I'm sure Athena and I will have more kids in the future."

I lie through my teeth.

I just don't want him to figure out why I'm doing this. The least I need right now is my condition spreading to any of my enemies. As much as I would want to knock her up and see her flat belly grow with our second child, maybe a princess this time, I'm not sure I have that much time.

"So what do you suggest we do?" Antonio asks.

I lean back against the chair,

"Put 60% in a trust, Athena as the trustee and I'll tell you what to do with the rest. The company should be as it is. It belongs to Sloane. But no one can know about it. Not now, anyway."

"This is so sudden. Did something happen?" Antonio asks but the glare I give him is enough to shut him the fuck up.

"I'll do just that, Boss." He stands, packing his papers. "I'll take my leave now."

I nod.

Just as I'm about to pick up my phone to call her, the office door bursts open.

Her scent is what hits me first.

I grin.

"How did you know I missed you?"

But the smile drops the second I see her face.

She's been crying.

Her eyes are red and her breath is shaking. As if that's not enough, her body is trembling like she's been holding it together for hours and finally cracked.
