Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

446 Secrets in the Cottage

(Winona)

I've spent the last hour booking flights, organizing the kids' documents, and triple-checking every detail. The tickets are locked in-direct to the States, first class, in three days.

I figure we just get it done instead of stopping and starting. After Jayden's texts last night, the sooner the better. His concern over Judy's obsession with getting Abby and Henry off me, aren't misplaced. Judy has always wanted Abby to herself and Jayden. No doubt that extends to Henry, being Jayden's blood. She and Ashlyn tried to make me look unfit to be a mother. Almost happened too. For a while Abby lived with her. I cannot let that happen again.

In the states I have the no-contact order in place. Here, is a different story. If I was in doubt about traveling before, I'm not now. Dr. Klein has said sooner rather than later for the baby and Dr. Green has echoed that in an email. Anyway, the flights are booked and I'll have top medics with me.

The doorbell rings, pulling me from my thoughts. My heart skips a beat, but I push the paranoia aside. It's broad daylight, and Judy is in London.

When I open the door, Cass is standing there, duffle bag slung over her shoulder, her signature black-on-black style back in full swing.

"Cass?" I blink, startled. "Oh My God! What are you doing here?!"

"Surprise," she says with a smirk, stepping inside without waiting for an invitation. Her bag hits the floor with a thud, and she takes in the room with a quick glance. "Hugo sent me in a car. Thought you might be happy to see me." "I am! Of course, I am!" I pull her into a tight hug. "I tried to call you and I messaged so many times. I've been so worried."

"Lost my phone. I should have let you know somehow. But you know me."

"I do. How long have you been traveling." I look her up and down. She's thin.

"A couple of weeks. But I made it."

"I'm so glad you did, but... I'm about to leave."

Cass steps back, her eyes narrowing as she notices the kid's suitcases. "What? Why?"

"Come on, you must be starving. Let me fix you something." I want to tell Cass everything, but we aren't alone at the moment. I have staff helping us pack up and clean the cottage. "Nice try. What's going on, Sis?"
