Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Briony slid into the driver's seat, slipped the pregnancy test into her purse, and was just about to start the car when her assistant, Hannah Lane, called.

"Briony, I just got off the phone with the client. They want us to deliver the Veiled Elegance artifact by tomorrow."-

Briony frowned. "I thought we agreed on a week for delivery?"

"Something must've come up on their end. The project manager said as long as we make the deadline, payment isn't an issue."

Briony considered for a moment. "Tell them we'll deliver the day after tomorrow- at a fifty percent markup."

"But the manager sounded pretty adamant-"

"That's my absolute limit," Briony said firmly. "If they can't accept that, I'll refund the deposit."

"Understood. I'll get back to them right away."

As soon as the call ended, Briony was about to put her phone away when her thumb accidentally tapped a trending news alert.

Stewart was trending.

More specifically, Stewart and the famous actress Rosita Lockwood were trending together.
