Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband by Anney GW

527 Goodbyes and Plans

(Winona)

Pulling into the farmhouse driveway, I spot Cass sitting on the porch steps, her duffel bag at her feet. She looks up when Lisa and I step out of the car, a smirk already forming. She gives us a wolf-whistle. "Look at you two," she calls out. "Business queens in the flesh."

Lisa tugs at her blazer. "Trust me, I'm getting changed right away. What a fucking disaster."

I roll my eyes and stride up to Cass, pulling her into a tight hug. She smells like vanilla and cigarette smoke, a weird combination that somehow suits her.

"I've missed you, brat sister," I murmur, holding her for a beat longer than necessary because I know why she's here and it's already breaking my heart.

Cass pulls back with a grin. "Miss you too, boss sister. Seriously, what's with the corporate look? You two getting ready to take over the world or what?" "Something like that," I say, smoothing my blazer. "But I'll let Lisa fill you in when she's ready. So, I guess you're here to say goodbye?"

Cass nods. "Yeah. Viktor's got the flight all set. I'll be back to drowning in dishes and avoiding his overbearing ass soon enough."

"Working on becoming all you were meant to be, you mean."

"I hope I can make you proud."

"Cass, all you need to do is wake up in the morning to make me proud. No matter what you do in life. I'll always be proud to call you my little sister. You are an amazing woman, and I wasn't half the woman you are at your age." "I'm sure that's not true. You had a different life to me. I'm just grateful you came back into mine and stuck around."

"Cut it out. Neither of you is dying and at least two of us can afford private jets. So we can catch up anytime..." Lisa points out.

Before I can retort, the front door swings open, and Jayden steps out, Henry balanced on his hip. His expression shifts when he sees us, relief flickering in his eyes. "You're home."

Lisa pats my shoulder. "She's a national treasure, this one."

Jayden's gaze locks onto mine. "And Lisa? How are you? I mean, you must be absolutely rocked to the core."

"What don't I know?" Cass questions.
