The Billionaire's Forsaken Wife
"Zyran, look at me. If you walk out that door with her, you can't come back," Roosevelt pleaded, her hand instinctively covering her stomach.
Zyran paused, his hand on the doorknob, while his childhood sweetheart wept softly against his chest. He didn't look back. "She needs me, Roosevelt. You are strong; you can take care of yourself."
The door clicked shut, sealing his decision. He didn't notice the blood trickling down Roosevelt's leg, nor did he hear her whisper,
Roosevelt had everything a woman could want: beauty, a great reputation as a top interior designer, and a marriage to Zyran, the city's coldest and most elusive billionaire. Though Zyran spoke little and showed hardly any affection, Roosevelt loved him quietly. She believed his hardness was a shield she could one day break through.
On the eve of their fourth anniversary, Roosevelt got the miracle she had hoped for: a positive pregnancy test. She dreamed of the moment his icy demeanor would warm into a smile, finally bringing their family together.
But before she could share the news, the ghost of Zyran’s past returned. A fragile, teary-eyed woman from his youth reappeared, seeking his protection and time. As Zyran’s attention shifted, Roosevelt slipped into the background of her own marriage. She thought she could bear the neglect until a life-changing accident forced Zyran to choose between his wife and his past.
He made his choice, and by the time the billionaire understood the weight of what he had lost, Roosevelt and the secret she carried was already gone.

Chapter: Chapter 111 (FINALE)ROOSEVELT’S POVThe afternoon sun poured down over the grass of our backyard garden. I sat comfortably on a large woven picnic blanket, laughing softly as I watched my husband chase our two beautiful children around the garden."You cannot escape me. I am way too fast for you!" Zyran roared playfully, his deep voice echoing across the yard as he lunged forward, easily catching our now seven- year- old daughter by the waist."No, Daddy, put me down! I am too big for tickles!" Lorna shrieked, bursting into loud, uncontrollable giggles as she squirmed in his arms, her long hair flying wildly in the wind."You are never too big for tickles, little queen. Now I am going to catch your brother!" Zyran laughed, spinning Lorna around and gently setting her on the grass before turning toward the tiny, stumbling toddler trying to run away on his short little legs."Run, Julian! I am is coming to get you!" Lorna cheered, clapping her hands and pointing at her two-year-old baby brother.Julian sq

Chapter: Chapter 110ROOSEVELT’S POVWe packed our bags the next morning and left New York as we boarded Zyran's jet to finally head home to Italy. The entire flight was filled with kisses, happy tears, and the realization that we were completely free.When the car drove us away from the Milan airport, I leaned my head against Zyran's shoulder feeling exhausted yet happy, until I looked out the tinted window and noticed we were driving down an unfamiliar street."Zyran, where are we going? This isn't the way to the house," I asked, sitting up slightly and watching the big gates that slowly opened in front of us. They revealed a breathtaking mansion surrounded by gardens and trees."We're not going back to the old house , Roosevelt," Zyran said softly, his hand gently squeezed my knee as the car pulled up to the park of the new house. "I sold it yesterday while you were sleeping in the hospital.""You sold the mansion?" I gasped, my eyes widening in shock as I looked at the beautiful new building. "But all

Chapter: Chapter 109ROOSEVELT’S POVI slowly opened my eyes, blinking against the bright, harsh fluorescent lights shining down from the ceiling, the smell of hospital bleach filled my nose, making me groan softly as I tried to sit up."Hey, hey, take it easy, my love. Just lie back down," Zyran’s deep, soothing voice murmured beside my ear, his hand gently pushed my shoulder back against the pillows.I turned my head and saw him sitting in a chair next to the hospital bed. His eyes looked very tired, but they shone with relief as he brought my hand to his lips and kissed my knuckles."Zyran, what happened? Why am I in the hospital?" I asked. My voice sounded dry and raspy, and my mind struggled to piece everything together."You fainted, Roosevelt," Zyran said softly, his thumb rubbing slow, comforting circles on the back of my hand. "The doctors said your body just shut down due to serious lack of strength, but you’re safe now and I have some very good news for you.""What news? What did the doctors sa

Chapter: Chapter 108ROOSEVELT’S POV"Call the police right now, Marcus, and tell them to send every unit to this building," Zyran commanded, his voice low and menacing, leaving no room for mercy. "I want Mateo Thompson and Mina Sterling arrested for espionage, extortion, and attempted murder. Lock them up where they will never see the light of day again." "Yes, Mr. King. The authorities are already on their way," Marcus replied, pulling his radio from his belt to make the call while his men kept their guns aimed at Mateo’s guards. Mateo didn’t fight anymore, he sat on the floor, wiping the blood from his split lip as he stared at the broken pieces of the flash drive. He realized his empire and freedom were gone. Zyran didn’t even look at Mateo again, he turned to Beatrice and Clara, his eyes devoid of any love or warmth. "You are no longer part of my life and you are no longer part of this family," Zyran said coldly, his voice sharp and frigid. "I officially renounce you as my mother and sister. You

Chapter: Chapter 107ZYRAN’S POVThe coffee splashed across the floor, but Mateo didn’t even blink. "You dropped your coffee, Thompson," I said, my voice low and steady, echoing off the walls. I kept walking until I stood just a few feet away from him, keeping Roosevelt safely by my side.Before Mateo could speak, the elevator chimed again. Two more figures stepped out behind him.It was my mother, Beatrice, and my sister, Clara, they both wore expensive suits and looked smug. But the moment they glanced past Mateo's shoulder and saw me, the arrogance drained from their faces."Zyran?" Beatrice gasped, hands flying to her chest as she stumbled backward, bumping into Clara. "What... what are you doing in New York?""I came to look the traitors in the eye," I growled, my dark eyes filled with disgust as I faced the woman who gave birth to me. "Did you really think you could plot against my family in secret and I wouldn't find out?""We didn’t do anything wrong, Zyran, we are just doing business!" Clara yel

Chapter: Chapter 106ZYRAN’S POVI walked through the door of the mansion, expecting to see my wife smiling and waiting for me. Instead, I found Roosevelt pacing the living room, her face pale and her hands shaking as tears ran down her cheeks."Roosevelt, what is wrong? What happened?" I asked, dropping my briefcase on the floor and rushing to hold her in my arms."It’s Mina, Zyran, she finally dropped the act," Roosevelt choked out, gripping my shirt so tightly her knuckles turned white. "She told me everything, she told me about the baby.""What baby? What are you talking about?" I frowned, confusion swirling in my mind as I looked down at her face."You remember she was pregnant when you threw her out five years ago, but the baby wasn't yours. It belonged to her ex-boyfriend," Roosevelt cried, her voice breaking into a loud sob. "She lived on the streets, and the baby got severe leukemia. She had no money for the hospital, so the she died in her arms."I froze, the air vanishing from my lungs. A wave

Shouted questions, the clicking of a hundred cameras, and the heavy thud of people pushing to get closer surrounded us.Jace held my hand firmly, his grip was warm and steady as he guided me through the crowd of reporters. I kept my head down and twisted the white silk of my dress in my fingers."Keep breathing," Jace whispered in my ear. "Just look at me.""There are so many people," I replied quietly. My heart pounded in my chest."They just want a story, Lenny. Let’s give them a good one."He pulled out a chair for me at the long table, I sat down and smoothed the silk over my knees. Jace stood beside me, resting one hand on my shoulder, his touch felt solid, like a shield. I wanted to believe that.A reporter in the front row stood up. "Jace! Over here! When did this start? No one even knew you were seeing anyone!"Jace leaned into the microphone, flashing that famous, handsome smile. "It’s been going o

Chapter: Chapter 11LENNY'S POVThe coffee in my cup was cold, but I didn’t mind. I was too busy staring at the diamond on my finger, it was huge, so I felt like everyone in the shop was watching it."I still can't believe it," Jenna whispered, leaning over the table, her eyes wide. "Engaged? Lenny, you’re only nineteen. We’re still in college!""It’s fast," I said, my voice shaky. "I know it's fast. But Jace... he says he doesn’t want to wait, he says life moves quickly with the NFL involved.""It’s romantic," Annette said, scrolling through her phone, looking totally bored. "Most guys just want to hook up, Jace actually wants to put a ring on it, so you should be happy."I looked at Annette, she seemed so calm. "I am happy, I’m just... overwhelmed.""You should be," Annette said, looking up and smiling. "By the way, did you get that white silk dress ready? The one with the pearls? Jace mentioned it would look great on camera for the press conference tomorrow."I froze and I slowly set my cup down."Th

Chapter: Chapter 10JACE’S POVThe morning drills had gone perfectly, every pass I threw was like a laser. The scouts lined up on the sidelines, taking notes. I could feel their eyes on me. More importantly, I sensed everyone’s eyes on Lenny.The red dress was a nice touch, the ring was even better.I settled back on the couch in my private lounge. The room was quiet, away from the loud fans and reporters. I poured myself a glass of whiskey, the liquid caught the light. I watched the ice cubes swirl before taking a slow sip.It burned and It felt good.My phone buzzed on the coffee table. It was Miller, my agent. I picked it up on the first ring."Tell me you saw the news," Miller said, sounding like he had just run a marathon."I don’t watch the news, Miller. I make it," I replied leaning back to close my eyes."The engagement? Jace, you’re a genius. The Dallas scouts are losing their minds, they love a family man. They love a guy who is 'settling down.' Your bad boy image is gone. You just jumped up

Chapter: Chapter 9LENNY'S POVThe small lamp on my desk flickered, casting long shadows against the walls. My heart wasn’t just beating; it was thundering. It felt like it was trying to break through my ribs.Marcus sat in my chair, his large frame looking out of place in the small dorm room. He held the small, black bag I had hidden carefully. Between his thick fingers was the silver master key. The key that was supposed to be my secret."Where did you get that?" I whispered, my voice barely made it out.Marcus didn't look at me at first, he just stared at the key. "I got a text, Lenny. An anonymous text."I froze, my blood felt like it had turned to slush. "What did it say?""It said my sister wasn't just a traitor. It said she was a thief," Marcus said and finally looked up. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked like he hadn't slept in days. "It told me to look under the loose floorboard in the back of your closet. It said I’d find proof that you weren't who I thought you were.""Marcus, give it to

Chapter: Chapter 8LENNY'S POVThe words lingered in the air between us."Touch me, please."I couldn't believe I had said it. I felt small and desperate but Jace didn't laugh or call me a "dork" this time.He moved slowly, his hands slid from the wall and rested on my waist. His palms were warm, even through my clothes. He pulled me closer until we were almost touching."Is this what you want, Lenny?" he whispered.His voice was soft and It felt like a promise. I looked up at him, my vision blurry with tears. I only wanted the pain to stop, I wanted to forget that my brother hated me."I don't want to feel alone anymore," I breathed.Jace leaned down but didn't kiss me, not yet. He just pressed his cheek against mine. He held me tight, as if he wanted to protect me from everything."You're not alone," he murmured in my ear. "I’ve got you. I'm the only one on your side."I leaned my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes and exhaled slowly. For a moment, the lounge felt safe. No whispers, no cameras, j

I whispered, my voice feeling distant.Jace didn’t look away, he didn’t even blink. He stood there, staring at me with eyes that were no longer cold. They were wide and filled with what seemed like pain."I’ve spent three years watching you, Lenny," Jace said as he took a step closer. "You always had your hair in a messy bun. You always had three different pens behind your ear. You never looked up, not even when the whole team walked in making a scene.""You never spoke to me," I replied, a lump forming in my throat. "Not once, you just ignored me.""I had to," Jace said, his voice dropping to a low growl. "I’m Jace Callahan, everything I touch turns into chaos. You were quiet and you were peaceful. If I had approached you back then, I would have ruined that for you.""So instead, you decided to blackmail me?" I laughed, but it sounded harsh an
