The Ex’s New Love 2

Chapter

I paused with the water glass halfway to the dishwasher

I was utterly baffled

He blocked my number yet blamed me for not contacting him

I waited two hours, barely home five minutes, yet he claimed to have searched for an hour

I couldn’t stomach exposing his lies

Want me to call?My voice frosted over. Unblock me first.” 

His jaw muscle t This book had been added on your bookshelf

Storming to the living room, he slammed a rainsodden cake on the counter no box, just plastic wrap clinging to matcha frosting

Shops were closing. This was the last one.” 

My phone lit up with Valda’s new post: a pristine blueberry cheesecake

Caption: Blessed by an angel boss by day, cherished by my love by night.” 

The irony tasted like battery acid. My lips refused to twist into anything resembling a smile

Thanks.I pushed the soggy dessert away. Trash it.” 

His eyes burned crimson

Throwing a tantrum over birthday bonuses? I’m the CEO! And you DMed Valda like some jealous-” 

I massaged my throbbing temple. Rainwater still chilled my bones

Not jealous. Justtired.” 

Bullshit!He smashed a fist against the fridge

You’re thirtyfuckingtwo! Acting like some clingy college girl! Fresh meat’s everywhere—” 

We’d danced this waltz before

In the past, I would’ve begged him to say, You’re my only.” 

But now I knew better

Why the hell should growass adults waste breath on love that needs interrogation

Think whatever.” I stood. Your delusions aren’t my responsibility.” 

Then I walked to my bedroom. 

He hurled the cake into the bin

Snickers leaked as he scrolled

When bathroom pipes groaned twenty minutes later, I hauled spare bedding to the guest room

He blocked the hallway, damp hair dripping on my pillow

I’m tolerating your disgusting hospital stench, and you pull this? Think you’re still some nubile twentyyearold?His laugh turned jagged. Wouldn’t touch you with hazmat gear!” 

Insomniac freak. Don’t text me at 3 AM again!” 

The deadbolt clicked

In the past, every midnight he strayed, I would toss in sweat- soaked sheets, bombarding his phone until dawn

He’d slammed a prescription bottle of Ambien on the breakfast counter the next morning

Then, I learned to swallow those little white lies nightly

Now, fearing drug interactions with the divorce attorney’s antidepressants, I discovered sober sleep

The monsters under the bed turned out to be paper tigers

Dawn found me reviewing divorce attorney profiles

Antonio’s company page was updated simultaneously a victory reel

Champagne geysers

Valda’s delighted shriek as he shielded her from the spray

The soaked navy suit was last year’s anniversary gift from me

This year’s planned gift a Patek Philippe now sat in
