Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 63

63 Playing The Game (Ashlyn)

One Week Later

So, this is the infamous Gus Brennan. Last week he outed Lance and I and the little indiscretion. But he also did me a favor and named Jayden as the biological father of this baby.

Judy has been ridiculous about it all, but I don't care. I eye her defiantly across the office that used to be Jayden's. She can pretend she hates me, but I know she needs me.

She can't get rid of Winona from Jayden's life without me. She's been carrying on about where Jayden is and that he hasn't answered any messages or calls. It's not like I'm holding him hostage. He hasn't been 'home since all this about Lance went down. Now Judy pretends to be shocked about me sleeping with Lance. She doesn't fool me. Don't pretend to be holier than thou when you've been hiding Jayden's real father all this time.

She's looking at Gus and he's studying whatever is on the desk in front of him.

"Ladies, please, take a seat." He says without looking up.

I sit in the plush leather chair. Judy remains standing.

He looks up and his blue eyes pin me to the spot. Wow Talk about a silver fox. Fast forward thirty years and this is how my husband looks. No complaints here. He's hot. I smile at him.

"Ashlyn, we haven't met formally but by now you know who I am."

"I nod.

"I'm not going to pretend. What you did to Jayden is inexcusable."

I shrug.

Gus stares at me waiting for a reaction he isn't getting. This is all old news, what I want to know is what happens next.
