Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

My CEO 228

228 Bad Influence (Winona)

It's Monday morning, and the penthouse feels unusually quiet. Jayden's already left to drop Abby at school and then head to the hospital. Anne is heading back to Bobby and Sarah in her rental.

I've scheduled our time so we can get things done without Anne here until she can move back next month. Bobby and Sarah are coming too and I'm thinking this penthouse may not be the best family home design. But it has to be for a while. With everything else happening, I'm not adding a house move to the mix. My townhouse has been sold, I'll miss it but I'll find another when I get time.

There's really nothing holding us here in this city apart from Henry and my work with Phillip.

Soon, I can do that from anywhere and travel when needed.

Henry will be in the neonatal ward for at least four months. Providing there are no complications, or worse. I push that thought away.

Maybe I'll take a leaf out of Jayden's book and sell my half of the business to Phillip. But this is not getting anything done. I need to get moving.

Today is supposed to be productive-we've got wedding plans to make solid this afternoon. I have meetings with Phillip and potential clients.

And we need to start thinking about Ashlyn's cremation next week. Her ashes will be spread at her favorite fishing spot, where her father used to take her and where they spread his. I figure it's what she would have wanted.

I sit at the breakfast bar, sipping my coffee, my mind racing. But it's not the wedding, work, or even Ashlyn's arrangements that's bothering me right now.

It's Cass.

Cass. You've not lost Mom long. You're staying here, in Jayden's home, and going out all night and not coming back isn't exactly responsible behavior." Cass's expression hardens. "You think I'm using again? That's what this is about, right?" She sounds as
