Chapter 0380

Gabe.

It's been a week since I met Harper again after years of distance. I never thought that I would seek her out, but life has a funny way of twisting things.

When we got divorced, I thought, 'Good riddance'. I'd wanted her gone, and the moment that chance came, I didn't think twice. I was happy to get rid of her and never look back. I didn't care what happened to her or where she went or did. She hasn't even crossed my mind since the day she left my apartment. Well, that is, until the board of directors started making noise.
