Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

455 Unexpected Endings

(Judy)

I've spent all day with Jayden at Nexus London offices today. After Winona leaving yesterday, and celebratory drinks with Jayden last night, I'm hopeful. Viktor not being here is a blessing. I can't make a move with him always watching. This Grayson investigation is almost wrapped up and Jayden will relaunch Nexus London under a new banner. He's done well. I'm very proud of him. Do I trust him?

Probably not.

But then, I had nothing to do with who she slept with and Lance turning up in Brussels unannounced. All I did was get the photos to Jayden. He deserves to know the truth. It's not fair they played him like a fool like that.

It's a bit too soon to safely say I have Jayden back. But I'm certainly closer than I was with a no-contact order. Now I only need my grandchildren, after-all they are heirs to Nexus Global and they will need to be prepped for that role. Jayden needs more time to really be back under my wing again. I'm not sure if he and Winona are really separated, but from all reports, and I've had plenty, they are very good actors if this separation isn't real. But I don't trust her. I slip off my blazer and toss it over the chair. I pour myself a glass of wine, the crimson swirl catching the light from the city glittering below. My suite is just as I left it. I look around me but something feels... off.

I set the glass down, scanning the room. That's when I see him, sitting at the desk, his silhouette illuminated by the glow of my laptop.

"Lance." His name leaves my lips like a blade, sharp and cutting. "What the hell are you doing here?"

He doesn't flinch, doesn't even move. His eyes lock onto mine, cold and unwavering. "Hello, Judy."

I force a smile, keeping my tone light. "Breaking and entering? Really? You've sunk to new lows. And hacking into my laptop? Not cool at all."
