Thank God we didn’t have children.
Blaming me for being infertile when he refused to get tested was cruel.I know it’s me, but the fact he put all the blame on me was unfair.
I glance at the monitor once more.For Adam to paint me as a philander and gold digger in the press is dirty, given the violence I endured that day.
I won’t let him win.
I’m taking my fifty percent of our assets.
He can go fuck himself.
“No one is accusing you of having an affair, but we need to get our facts aligned.If their team can prove otherwise, it can topple our entire strategy.You could end up with nothing.”Zander says.
“Could that happen?”My mouth falls open.
Zander nods and stands where he removes his jacket and undoes his tie.“Yes.But I’m not going to let it.”
I glance at the other men, wondering what is happening.He’s usually not this casual.
“I hope you don’t have any plans tonight, Mrs.Blackmore.Usually, when a spouse does something like this, it only gets dirtier.”
I open my mouth to speak, but he walks to the door and tugs it open.“Kathy, order us some dinner.”
I shuffle my chair back.
“Yes, sir.Pizza?”
“I’m gluten-intolerant.”I share, assuming he’s ordering for all of us.
“Predictable,” Zander mutters.
Sean smirks, tucking his tablet under his arm.“I have to meet my wife at the hospital, Mr.Sterling.”
Zander gives him a nod.
“Have a good evening, Courtney.”Sean smiles my way.
“Thank you,” I reply.
“You can head off also, Jason.Mrs.Blackmore and I can get this done tonight.”
“You sure?”
“Yes,” Zander says, darting a narrowed-eye glance my way.
Apparently, I’m staying.
The two men disappear out the door while Kathy hovers, waiting for her order.When I open my mouth to tell her I’ll be fine, Zander beats me to it.
“Two salads, three pizzas, sodas and garlic bread.”
For just the two of us?
That’s a lot of food, and I doubt it’s his usual meal plan by the looks of his body.Not that I care.The jerk.But it’s clear his ass is rock solid, his back broad, and that he has thick, powerful biceps.
Biceps are a weakness of mine, but I barely notice his.
Liar.
