I was fully prepared for the uproar that the divorce would create. I prepared myself for the shitstorm that was headed my way, and I thought I would have it all figured out.

But all of that changed the moment the news got out.

Suddenly, I was being hounded by paparazzi everywhere I went. I thought it was stressful before, but that was when I was always being followed by the Reynard security personnel. With that layer of security gone, I was left standing naked against the storm, as a hurricane blew through and ripped me apart. And I had to somehow find a way to survive the sea of questions they hurled at me.

“WHAT WAS THE REASON FOR YOUR DIVORCE WITH MARCUS?”

“ARE YOU PLANNING TO SUE REYNARD TECH AS WELL?”

“DID MARCUS CHEAT ON YOU?”

“HAVE YOU SEEN MARCUS RECENTLY?”

I wished I could just stand there and answer all their questions. I wished I could stand there and give them all the details they needed, and tell them about how heartbroken I was when I found out he was cheating on me.

    There was always the calm before the storm. You could feel it in the air, and you could almost taste it. I first felt an inkling that something was about to happen when I woke up to find seven missed calls from Ciara, and two missed calls from David. That immediately told me that something was wrong, but before I could call either of them back, I saw a text message from David, which was one simple line:‘Stay off the internet.’That immediately sent a chill down my spine, and I started to wonder if something terrible had happened. Could it be something related to Marcus? My parents? What could possibly have happened that would make them think I needed to stay off the internet completely?Against my better judgement, I knew I had to check it out. So I hopped onto Twitter and scrolled to the search page. Since my timeline was curated based on my location and my particular interests (which had mostly been updates about me and Marcus recently), the first news article I saw went through m

    MARCUS“Babe, who was that?”I set the phone down and leaned back in my seat, savouring the fact that Olivia was probably crying in her miserable little apartment. As Emily walked into the room, I didn’t even move as she came and sat on my desk. I normally hated anyone doing that, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. “That… was my lovely wife,” I said with a slight chuckle. “She wants to know why I’m doing this to her.”“Really?” Emily asked with a smirk as she crossed one leg over another. “And what did you tell her?”“Wouldn’t you like to know,” I chuckled as I kissed her open knee. She was wearing a tight black dress with a slit that ran all the way up to her thigh, and the exposed skin was causing a shiver to crawl down my spine. “Marcus,” she chuckled, pushing me away as she giggled. We both knew it was just pretend, and she wanted me to take things further. But I enjoyed teasing her, and I enjoyed dragging things out slowly until she couldn’t take it anymore. “Don’t worry

    It had been over three weeks since the news of my divorce became public, and my entire social life went out of the window. Ciara had advised me to stay out of the papers, and the only thing I could do was to hide in my apartment and binge watch ‘Friends’ and ‘Lost’. It was frustrating, but I trusted her advice. In the meantime, I began to plan out my future. I couldn’t stay in New York anymore once the divorce was finalised. I couldn’t stay in the city when there was a risk of running into Marcus at every turn. Besides, I needed some space, and the further away I got from my past, the easier it would be to start rebuilding my life all over again. I had dusted off my CV already, something I hadn’t even glanced at in several years. It was funny how easily I threw away my life, believing that Marcus and I would be together for the rest of our lives. I never even imagined that my life would be over if we ever separated. But now, I was starting from scratch once again. And now, there was

    The first thing we had to do was make sure that everything we did was legal. David absolutely refused to do anything that would break the law in any way, so Brenda and I had to find loopholes in what we were trying to do. The first step was making sure that Emily hadn't taken my name off the lease of the apartment. Thankfully, I knew she was way too lazy to ever consider doing that. And when I checked and found that I was still technically a resident of the building, I was allowed to access the cameras. Then I had to get in touch with a tech genius that David happened to know. His name was Weasel, and David knew him from a case he worked a few years ago and he helped him crack it. When he told me this, I expected a thin, scrawny kid with a baseball cap and a large hoodie to show up at my door. But the guy who showed up was large and burly, with thick, coarse hair on his arms and a wild, untamed beard that completely covered his neck. He smelled of booze and cigarettes, and he carrie

    "I can't believe you did something like this," Ciara snapped. "How could you have been so reckless?"She was stomping around the kitchen, her bottom lip trembling so much that it seemed like she was going to burst at any moment. I wished Brenda hadn't left, so I wouldn't be the only one on the receiving end of her anger. "It's not what you think," I said, looking up at her."Not what I think?" she shrieked. "Were you or were you not about to leak a sensitive footage Marcus and Emily to the press?""I would rather not answer that.""Do you not realise how terrible that would be for you?" she asked. “Once that footage gets out, Marcus will know it came from you. And if he can establish that you were the one who leaked it, do you not realise that you would be charged for committing a felony?”“But David said…”“Fuck David!” she snapped. “I fully intend to have a word with him after this. You’re my client, Olivia, not his. Do you understand that?”I was trying so hard not to cry, and I s

    I’d never been to the courthouse before. Even when Marcus told me that he was going to meet someone there during our date night, I remained in the car and didn’t even bother to step out. The courthouse was a great stone structure, with tall columns that looked like they belonged in a coliseum than anything else. There were a few Latin sentences written overhead, but I barely paid attention to them as I walked into the building. “Remember, we’re only here for preliminary hearings,” Ciara said as we walked in together. “You don’t pay attention to anyone or anything. You do exactly what I tell you, and we’ll be out of here in no time.”I smiled weakly at her, even though my heart was hammering in my chest. I thought I would be ready for this, but the fear that was snaking through my veins was starting to make me nervous. I knew I would see Marcus today, and that thought alone was enough to make me want to turn around and flee from the building. I hadn’t seen him since that day when he

    MARCUSThere's just something so satisfying about putting a woman in her place. It's the most therapeutic thing you could possibly do, and it's so refreshing to know that where she might have thought she had the upper hand on you, it was never even a competition. Some women just deserved to be reminded of their place in life every once in a while, and it was such a beautiful thing to witness I should know; I'd done it over a million times already. I thought I was ready to see Olivia again. Even after everything, the only time I ever saw her was on the news when she tried to get into a supermarket and was hounded by paparazzi or angry New Yorkers who thought she was a cheating, gold-digging hoe. To be honest, a part of me felt bad for her. After all, this was the woman I'd loved for the better half of a decade now, and the woman who I'd convinced myself at one point that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I truly believed that she was the one, and for a while things were

    “Please tell me this is a joke.”Ciara looked like she wanted to murder someone. We were sitting in her office, and she was pacing the length of the room, her heels clacking on the tiles and filling the silence between us. I couldn’t bring myself to look up at her, or even say anything worthwhile. I just sat there and stared at my toes, a dull ringing sound in my ear. “Olivia, look at me,” she said, coming to stand in front of me. “Do you or do you not remember signing that document?”“I don’t remember signing anything,” I replied. “It has to be fake.”She placed the papers in front of me, and asked in a calm voice that sounded like she was holding back a storm, “Is this not your signature?”“It is,” I replied tersely. “Is that not your handwriting for the date?”“It is.”“But you don’t remember signing anything like this?”“No, I do not,” I replied. “If it was three days before the wedding, then I will definitely remember signing if I did.”And then, suddenly, it hit me like a ton

    ETHANGrowing up, Marcus and I had a sort of sixth sense where we could always detect when the other person was in the building even without us seeing them. As soon as he walked into a building, I could somehow tell that he was around. And I would immediately turn in the direction he was about to walk in from. But that was a lifetime ago. Now, I didn't feel anything as I sat in the restaurant and waited for him to walk in. I was gently tapping my fingers on the table, planning what I was going to say in hopes that it would be enough to sway him. I'd gone through a thousand different possibilities of how this conversation could play out, and yet each time I wasn't so sure how well it would go. The door suddenly swung open, and I looked up to find Marcus striding towards me nonchalantly. He looked awful, it actually took me a few seconds before I realised it was him. His beard looked disheveled and unkempt, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He wore a large black hoodie, and

    “Remind me again how the kiss felt,” Rachel said. “Come on,” I laughed. “I’ve told you about it a thousand times already.”“I still want to hear it again,” she said. “Now spill.”We were seated at the cafe across from the office for lunch, and she was staring at me like a wide-eyed teenager who just wanted to talk about boys and love. “Rach, are you alright?” I asked cautiously.“What do you mean?”“I mean why do you seem so invested in this?” I explained. “Normally you would be the one to tell me that this is nothing to get hung up on, and it’s just a kiss. So how come you’re so surprised and you want to keep talking about it?”For a moment, it looked like she wasn’t going to say anything. She leaned back into her seat, eyes vacant as she stared off into the distance and twirled her finger around her the rim of her coffee cup. Finally, she turned to face me and said, “I’m lonely.”Hearing her say that in such a timid voice broke my heart into a million pieces. I reached out and too

    ETHANI knew I was a gone man the moment I woke up with the goofiest smile on my face. I couldn't even brush my teeth properly, because the smile just refused to disappear. All I kept remembering was Olivia’s lips on mine, and the feel of my fingers grazing her bare skin. “Get it together, Ethan,” I whispered to my reflection. “You have an important meeting today.”Reluctantly, I finished getting ready quickly and headed for the office. I was already prepared for how stressful today was going to be, but the sooner we got this over with, the faster we could get things back on track.Alicia was there to greet me as soon as I walked into the building, and she was practically bouncing on her feet as she handed me my coffee. “Good morning, Mr Reynard,” she said. “Big day, huh?”“Indeed,” I replied. “What time is the board meeting?”“In an hour,” she replied. “Although Mr Jones arrived a short while ago. He’s already in Conference Room B, and he asked me to inform you that he’s around.”O

    At first, I thought I must be dreaming. Surely I couldn’t be doing this right now. It felt like my soul had slipped out of my body, and I was watching as I leaned forward and kissed him. But when the sensation burned through me like a hot knife, there was no denying it anymore. His lips met mine softly, and it was obvious that I’d shocked him. He seemed uncertain, like he was testing something before he suddenly deepened the kiss. There was some unspoken but undeniable tension that lingered in the air as he pulled me towards him, placing me on his lap before he pushed my lips apart with his tongue. The kiss sent warmth spiraling through me, a slow unraveling of every doubt I’d ever had. I melted into him, my hands finding their way to the back of his neck, feeling the way his pulse raced beneath my fingertips. He didn’t rush at all. Instead he took his time, moving slowly and carefully, taking his time to explore every inch of my lips. He tasted like cherry, and I wrapped my arms ar

    “Holy shit!” “I know,” I replied, smiling as Rachel flipped through the file incredulously. She looked like she was going to pass out, which was exactly how I’d felt when I read through the file earlier. We were now sitting in the living room, testing the brand new couches while eating Chinese takeout. The file contained a treasure trove of evidence that could bring down the entire Reynard family. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if this ever got out. Marcus would be done for, and probably end up in prison. “So what are you going to do with this?” Rachel asked. “Are you going to give it to the media?”“Not yet,” I replied. “I mean I know how bad it would be for him, but I’m saving it until I actually need it. I know he’s not going to be happy when he finds out that I’m back, but if he tries anything stupid, I’m going to use this against him in court.”“You sick bitch,” Rachel laughed. “I love the way your foul little mind words.”It was our favourite line from Aladdin, and

    MARCUSI opened my eyes slowly, the blinding lights overhead causing me to wince. There was a steady beeping sound coming from somewhere over my head that I knew would irritate me very soon, but I couldn’t turn to see what it was. My head felt like it was going to explode, my mouth was painfully dry, and when I tried to turn, pain shot up my entire body and I was frozen in place. “You’re awake.”I shifted my gaze to find Emily sitting beside me, a cold and distant look in her eyes as she regarded me like I was a stain on the bottom of her shoes. “What is this?” I asked. “What am I doing here?”“You’re in the hospital, Marcus,” she said. “You drove straight into the lobby of a building and injured six people.”I remembered it now, the screeching of the brakes, the fuzziness from all the drinking, and the pain that exploded all over me as the car slammed into the wall. “How long was I out?” I asked. “Are you fucking kidding me?” she spat. “I just told you that you’ve injured six pe

    Being back in the halls of J.P. Steele was like stepping through a Time Machine. Suddenly I remembered those awful days leading up to my divorce, when David was helping me out and I was actually stupid enough to believe that he was on my side. I knew better now, and I realised that I should have seen through their charade back then. Marcus has orchestrated everything from the beginning. He knew exactly which buttons to push, and he knew that David would be the first person I would turn to for help. Rather than securing David for himself, he pretended to look helpless, and have him pretend to be helping me so he could stay close and gather as much information as he could manage. I guess it was truly a smart move to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. I thought back to the meeting we had at the coffee place across the street, and how Marcus walked in on us while I had to hide in the next booth. I should have realised back then that the odds of him showing up at that exa

    Okay, I admit it.I’m a terrible person. But in my defence, I didn’t know what else to do. It’s not like I could send him a text and say “Hey, just thought I should let you know that I’m in New York. Remember when you asked me to move to America with you? That was crazy, right? Anyway, we should get a drink together sometime. Bye xx.”I couldn’t bring myself to do that. I knew if I posted a picture with my location, he would definitely see it. And maybe it would soften the blow for when I would actually call him and explain myself. I wanted to believe that he would have some time to think about it before I actually called, and he would be willing to forgive me by then. But for now, I was focused on work and settling into the office. Rachel and I spent the first day interviewing our potential employees. After the fiftieth applicant, my head was starting to spin. There were so many of them, each one more eager than the last. They reminded me of myself and Emily when we were job huntin

    ETHANFrom the moment I walked into the building, I knew that something was off. Not a single person dared to look at me, and everyone kept their head bowed as they hurried across the main lobby, dashing towards the elevators and glancing over their shoulders to make sure I wasn't going to rip their heads off. At first, I thought everyone just assumed that I was Marcus, and they were absolutely terrified of him. But that didn't make any sense. As far as I knew, Marcus had a close relationship with every single employee of Reynard Tech. And they didn't fear him as much as they respected him. But then, right as I was walking past the front desk, the receptionist nearly tripped over himself as he hurried over towards me, wearing the fakest smile I'd ever seen in my life. "Mr. Reynard!" he exclaimed. "Welcome back. It's a pleasure to have you here again.""Hello, Richard," I said, glancing at his name tag. "But I think there's a mistake somewhere. I'm not Marcus. I—""Oh, we know," he
