It had taken Jolie a minute to figure out the complex touch screen system that operated the various shower heads, but it was well worth the effort. A gentle rain fell from above as the wall mounts pulsed a massaging spray over her body. Once she'd washed and conditioned her hair, she just stood there indulging in the best damn shower she'd had in years.

Grabbing a towel from the heated bar, she noticed that the Egyptian cotton was a far cry from the threadbare towels she owned. The material was decadently soft against her bare flesh and she shivered at the sensual sensation. Living in the lap of luxury had been a novelty during their marriage, but after the past few years of abject poverty, she fully appreciated the difference.

Oddly enough, she felt lighter than she had in years. As if a huge weight had been lifted. It was strange how something as insubstantial as hope could lighten the heavy burdens she'd been carrying for so long. But it had and she was positively giddy with relief. She was finally going to be able to provide her son with a decent life.

Bryce was still a toddler, so he had no concept of poverty, but she wanted so much better for her baby than what she had been able to give him so far. A home in a neighborhood where children could actually play outside, clothes that hadn't been bought second hand, and educational toys to challenge his inquisitive mind.

With a million dollars at her disposal, she could give him the world.

He might not have known the finer things in life, hell, he'd known nothing but the bare necessities so far, but there was one thing that her son had never lacked. Love. He was happy and healthy and she loved him with every fiber of her being. If a mother's love counted for anything, Bryce Lassiter was the wealthiest little boy alive.

Speaking of wealthy Lassiter's, she went in search of her ex and found him sitting at his desk, completely focused on whatever he was reading. There were empty manila envelopes dropped haphazardly onto the floor and a stack of unopened ones on the desk beside him. "What are you doing?" She asked curiously.

"Reading the reports from the private investigator I hired to follow you," he replied absently without looking up. Her stomach lurched at what the reports might contain. God knew her past had not been pretty. "Wanted to know who your lover was." The world tilted on its axis as she tried to focus on what he was saying through the roaring in her head.

"Should have read the damn things when I got them," he muttered and finally looked up at her. "Are you all right?"

Jolie was so weak that she had to sit down. She managed to nod her head, but it was a lie and he obviously knew it. Suddenly Reece was kneeling next to her, chafing her cold hands in his. The genuine concern in those turquoise eyes was her undoing and a shuddering breath escaped before she could stop it.
