Marilyn

She read through that contract and recognised her own handwriting. It was a bit weird to see the name Marrin Huxley and then her signature next to it. She’d read the clause to say she’d change her name to Marrin Reeves once they were married. It wasn’t all that different from Marilyn Riddley’s, and she knew it.

Then the marriage certificate she’d signed everything Marrin Reeves, because that was then her legal name,

and again it was her neatly printed handwriting and the signature was very similar in style to Marilyn Riddleys. She couldn’t deny it to herself that she had signed both of these forms.

Sitting there listening to Wil state things about Calvin and Marrin so very calmly to her, she didn’t know if he was telling the truth or lying and was just very good at it. He was a lawyer and could she’d seen stay calm under pressure, had done so even with Calvin losing it in that conference room. He’d only been mad with

Calvin, not her.

I’m curious Marilyn,” William interrupted her thoughts. “Why did you name the twins Cal and Vin?” he asked her, and she saw there was more than just curiosity in him, a little bit of amusement as well, she thought.

Because he’d already formulated an answer in his mind, she knew.

“Callum and Vincent is what I named them.” She corrected him simply.

“Mm, but when shortened down and said together, those two names become Cal and Vin, which intern rolls into Calvin. I believe that you named them after their father.”

She frowned at him now and even as Liam told her she didn’t have to answer that question, William smiled as he leaned back in his chair. He thought her denial of it meant she also thought this, and it was a clear point

in his or Calvin’s favour.

“I’ll be honest with you, William,” Marilyn told him. “I recalled nothing of my past when I woke up, not who their father was. I didn’t even know I was pregnant, but the dash–cam footage recorded me stating the name Calvin before the accident happened….

“I guess I believed I’d been calling their father, so I named them after the last person I called before I lost my memories.” She told him truthfully, there was no need to lie about it.

“So, you did name them after Calvin then?” he asked.

“You could look at it that way, but if I’d called you and not him, then I’d likely have called something like Wil and Liam.” She shrugged. “That is not undeniable proof now, is it? He also never looked for me. No one did, not even you, who was supposedly my friend and lawyer.”

“That is not true. Calvin searched for weeks all over the world looking for Marrin. We thought you were on the plane. He was devastated at the loss of Marrin. Only no one knew you’d changed your name and closed out everything to do with Marrin. Become Marilyn Riddley.” He sighed heavily.

“Which just shows that not only didn’t I want to be married to him anymore, but I also didn’t want him to know where I was, doesn’t it?” she countered herself. “Otherwise, why would I do all of that, unless I needed

to get away from him, escape away from him.” She offered up.

William sighed this time, “Again, it’s not like that. Calvin did not tell you the real reason why he wanted the

divorce. He had this crazy plan in his head of a grand gesture that he wanted to show you he loved you. He was in fact waiting for you in Italy with flowers and a new engagement ring. He was going to propose to you for real, and tell you he loved you; a grand gesture. Only it completely backfired.” William muttered.

“What?” she frowned at him now, not really understanding him.

“Calvin is not so good at reading women. I told him it was wrong, and you wouldn’t like it done this way. Wouldn’t understand it, but he being who he is, like a dog with a bone, Calvin didn’t think that he could possibly be wrong.

“That you loved him enough to see it for what it was, and you would understand him and his intentions when you saw him in Italy. Only you never intended to take the trip, allocated to you in the divorce. Took those divorce papers all wrong and I couldn’t tell you what he was up to,

1 was not allowed too, nor could I convince you that he wasn’t trying to get rid of you permanently. Which is what you believed was going on. That Calvin was sending you not on a trip, but out of the country for good.” She saw his look of near exasperation, and then he shook his head.

“How much was the house worth?” she asked curiously, recalling the shock of having a 16 million dollar

kiss and your reaction to it. Also, Calvin in Italy waiting for you, seeing your plane crash–land and his reaction to it. Do not ever tell Calvin I have given you that. It’s not something he likes to remember or wants others to see. He thought he had gotten rid of all the coples of it. There are also all the news articles and news footage of him during that time when he was searching for you.”

She heard Liam huff from next to her and looked at him, only to have William state “I think your lawyer
