“Why are you here?” I asked Olivia again.

I’d let Luke and Will get Sarah out of the way. I felt sick to my stomach for not saying anything to Sarah before she left, but I couldn’t let Liv know that there was something going on between us. I was hoping for an amicable dissolution of our business partnership, along with a quick and easy divorce. If Liv knew I was happy and was planning to settle down with Sarah, that would never happen. It was something I couldn’t risk. My dad’s health wouldn’t take it if things got messy, and I didn’t want Sarah having to put up with me going through a messy, drawn-out divorce.

Our family’s names and business dealings weren’t known worldwide but they were newsworthy in Australia. Our wedding had been covered by Australian Vogue and there’d been rumours about our split in the tabloids. I’d threatened, via my lawyers, to expose Olivia’s affair with Sebastian Markham and to confess my heartbreak over catching them in bed together to anyone that would listen if Liv didn’t agree to a straight split down the middle of our assets. I wasn’t heartbroken. I was relieved. We married for all the wrong reasons, and I was glad to be out of it.

I never slept with anyone that we knew mutually, I always took them to a hotel, and I never saw them again, at least not to fuck.

“Like I said, we need to talk.”

“You couldn’t have called or emailed?”

“You don’t reply to my emails, Liam, and I’ve only just got your new phone number. I’ve called the old Australian one numerous times, I had hoped that your calls were being diverted, and I’d reach you eventually, but apparently not.”

I did have my calls diverted to my new phone, but I wasn’t gonna admit that I’d deliberately ignored her attempts to contact me. Something I was regretting.

“You could’ve contacted Lennard. He would’ve passed on your message.”

She looked down at the tiled floor and wrapped her arms around her waist.

“This is personal. I didn’t want to involve Lennard.”

She finally looked up and met my gaze, her head was slightly tilted back as she struck her usual superior stance and looked down her nose at me. It was the way she looked at most people she came across in life.

Olivia had always had a high opinion of herself and her standing in society. Her goals were wide and her ambitions high, which were things that I would generally admire in a person. The problem I had with Liv, though, was that she didn’t care who she hurt to reach them. She wanted
