A Ruthless Revenge: the Billionaire's Ex Wife Is Back CHAPTER 127
Celeste’s POVI stood in the hallway, staring at the closed hospital room door like it was some kind of challenge I wasn’t sure I was ready for.God. Why am I even hesitating?It was simple, wasn’t it? Go in, thank Damien, maybe check on his condition, and leave. That’s what any normal person would do after someone took a dagger to the chest for you. But nothing about this was normal.I rubbed my palms down the sides of my jeans, pulse skittering. Auntie Eleanor was safe now—back in her room, under strict medical care, guarded outside by two officers whose presence actually made me breathe easier. She was stable, the doctors said. Still unconscious, still fragile, but alive.Damien had made sure of that.And yet… it’s not just about the rescue, is it?I exhaled shakily, pressing a hand to my chest. There were so many tangled threads between us now. History, hurt, betrayal—and beneath all of it, this maddening, persistent pull I couldn’t seem to cut loose, especially after all this.

Damien’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the ceiling — pale, dimly lit, unfamiliar.The second thing was Rob’s face, leaning over me — a crooked grin pulling at his mouth, but his eyes were tight with worry, flicking over my face like he was checking if I was really awake.“Well, well,” he drawled, “look who finally decided to rejoin the living.”I let out a low groan, trying to push myself upright — sharp pain shot through my chest, making me wince.“Careful,” Rob said, immediately pressing a hand to my shoulder to keep me down. “Relax, champ. You’ve done enough heroic shit for one night.”The doctor beside him — a middle-aged man with thinning hair and sharp eyes — adjusted his glasses, glancing down at his clipboard. “He’s right. You’re lucky to be awake at all.”I tried to wave them off, exhaling roughly. “It’s just a stab wound, not a damn heart attack.”The doctor’s eyes narrowed slightly. “A stab wound to the upper chest, narrowly missing your subclavian ar

Damien’s POVI stared at the man cowering on the ground, his mouth clamped shut but his eyes screaming the truth.Genevieve.Vesper.The pieces slid into place in my mind like broken glass reforming—jagged and dangerous. She wasn’t acting alone. This wasn’t just petty revenge or some desperate grab for attention.This was war.And she had help.From people who didn’t blink at hospital abductions or putting a gun to someone’s head.“Darrow,” I snapped, rising to my feet and backing away from the man. “Dig into it. I want everything in the Vesper Mafia. Names. Shell companies. Recent movements. Find out how Genevieve got involved. And if it leads back to Nico—I want to know yesterday.”But Darrow didn’t move. He stood by the open trunk of the SUV, one hand resting on the closed case of tools, his expression unreadable beneath the shadows.Then, quietly, he asked, “Have you decided?”I stiffened. “What?”“You’ve always avoided these things,” he said, voice low, almost thoughtful. His wo

Celeste’s POVMy legs moved before my mind could catch up. I rushed to the black car and yanked the rear door open.Auntie Eleanor lay motionless on the gurney, her face pale, lips slightly parted. Tubes still hung from her arms—whoever this man was, he hadn’t even bothered to remove the evidence of the hospital setup. She looked fragile, like a porcelain doll that might shatter at the slightest touch. But she was breathing.My chest tightened. Relief and rage tangled inside me like a storm."I’ll get you out of here," I whispered, carefully sliding her out of the vehicle with trembling hands.She was unconscious, still deep in that coma she’d never woken from. But at least she was alive.I cradled her as best I could, dragging open the back door of Damien’s car. Gently, I laid her down across the back seat, adjusting her head with practiced care. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking."Just hold on," I whispered. "Please, just hold on."When I turned back, Damien was crouched low over the m

Celeste’s POVThe streets blurred past as we sped through the Westfield District, eyes flicking from the road to the navigation app and back. I sat rigid in the passenger seat, my phone clenched tight in my hand. We had just gotten the update from Kessler—the black Santana was last seen turning onto Amber Ridge Avenue. We were minutes behind.Then we saw it."There!" Damien shouted, slamming the steering wheel to the left. The black Santana was at the far end of the intersection, its taillights flickering briefly as it turned.He floored the accelerator."That’s them," I gasped.Damien slammed on the accelerator. The car roared beneath us, tires squealing as we flew forward. He honked twice, weaving to the side and overtaking the lane. Then, in a bold move, he jerked the wheel, cutting off the Santana’s path and forcing them to stop near a shadowy warehouse.Damien rolled down his window, the engine rumbling low beneath us. "Step out! Hand her over. Now."The driver didn’t move.For a

Celeste’s POV"It’s me," the voice whispered quickly. "It’s Damien."My whole body went slack with recognition, breath catching somewhere between panic and relief. My knees buckled slightly as the adrenaline surged through me, then crashed like a wave. I shoved his hand off my mouth, gasping for breath."Are you insane?!" I hissed, whirling around to glare at him. "You nearly gave me a heart attack!"“I just have to talk to you alone, Celeste,” he explained in a rush. “Now is not the time, Damien. Auntie Eleanor —” I started anxiously.“Yes, I know what happened to her,” he cut me off. I stopped. "What?"How could he know already? The way he said it so calmly—it was too prepared. A cold suspicion slithered up my spine. I hated the thought that he might still have people keeping tabs on me.But then, Damien pulled out his phone and tapped the screen. "As a precaution, I had discreet surveillance installed in her room. Just in case. After what happened at the prison, I couldn’t take a
