Detroit~

The door clicked shut behind him.

Detroit stepped into the vast hallway, but as he did, the strength bled from his legs. His vision blurred, the polished floors tilting beneath him. He staggered once, twice before Elias was suddenly there, catching him by the shoulders.

“Careful!”

Detroit didn’t answer. His jaw tightened as he yanked himself from Elias’ hold and steadied himself. In a flash, his composure returned as he made his way down the hallway with Elias trailing behind him.

The two men, both in black, walked in silence through the hushed corridor. Their footsteps echoed faintly against the marble, the only sound in a mansion that seemed to hold its breath.

Earlier, the two gunshots had rang too loudly, alerting the guards who poured towards Mrs. Lorraine West’s room, but Elias had turned them around with the excuse that mother and son were practicing shooting.

None dared question further. Not when it came to the West heir and his ruthless mother.

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Shadow Pack

    Adele~Maxwell didn't ask questions like I thought he would. He wasn't standing far away, so I believed he heard most of what we talked about – if not all. Though he didn't ask questions, I was obliged to inform him about my plans, though it was coming late. “Em, Maxwell, I'm sorry for not informing you before making that move with Roman,” I admitted, matching his pace as we exited the café. Maxwell didn't waste a second to reply, “My team is at your disposal, Ma’am, but none can guard someone else. Boss made sure that not a number less than six are with you at all times. That’s not up for negotiation,” Maxwell said firmly, his tone carrying that unshakable edge of someone who wasn’t just reciting rules, but enforcing them.One side of my head throbbed. Even heads of state could slip out with less surveillance. Six or more men trailing me everywhere? It was suffocating.I tried to make light of it. “Six, Max? Really? Am I still Adele Ford or the crown jewel of the country?”His exp

    “She snapped at me,” Roman finally said, his voice dropping to a ragged whisper. “Told me to mind my own business. Julia was never the type to hide her weakness. She flaunted it if it got her sympathy. But that time, she avoided me completely. Slept in a different room. Wouldn’t let me touch her. And then…”He paused, knuckles whitening around his coffee cup. “Three months later, her modeling career suddenly shot to the roof and from D-list, she became an A-list model, like she'd got a wealthy sponsor. Shortly after, Ryan's restaurant became the talk of the town. Investors and opportunities just started rolling in,” Roman continued, his tone heavy with suspicion. “Too conveniently. Almost overnight, and then, we expanded into a hotel, and Julia, being a sought after model, offered to become the face of our hotel for free. I'd thought she was doing it for Ryan, but she convinced me that she was supporting me, saying she also wanted me to grow alongside her.”He swallowed and turned hi

    Adele~“It started during our high school days. Those two didn’t see eye to eye. They were considered enemies. Their enmity started when Ryan, a transferred student, unintentionally humiliated Julia in front of the entire senior class. She was trying to show off during debate club, and Ryan tore her argument to pieces. Everyone laughed. She never forgave him for it.”Roman’s eyes grew distant, like he was seeing the past replay itself in the cafeteria tiles. “From that day, it was war for Julia. She was always first in everything, but Ryan effortlessly took the position from her, even in popularity. However, surprisingly, when you joined Greenfield Academy and somehow caught Julia's attention, Ryan, maybe in the mood to foil Julia's plans to humiliate you in front of everyone, entered the rain and saved you, intentionally announcing to the whole school that you were his person, and that set Julia off.”“Hold on,” my head spun continuously, trying to make sense of what he just said. “Y

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Meeting With Roman

    Adele~ Seems today is visitor's day. “Adele, please, I just want to talk,” Roman pleaded. The man looked different from the cheerful Roman I once knew. Now, he looked like a shell of himself. When he wheeled Ryan to see Ethan the other day, he at least still looked like someone who had a body and soul. Now, he looked like a ghost dragged out of the laundry basket—wrinkled, pale, and worn thin. “If you’re here to plead on behalf of Julia, over the lawsuit, forget it,” I cut him short before he could sit down. “I don’t care if she cries, faints, or sells Ryan’s kidneys to pay off her debts. She can figure it out.” Roman’s lips parted, but no sound came out for a long moment. His eyes glistened strangely, and then he whispered, “I’m not here for Julia. I… I came for myself.” That stilled me. Roman? The eternal mediator, the peacemaker, the guy who could smile through a hurricane? He had never once shown me weakness, not even when he learned of Ryan and Julia’s fornication.

  • Betrayed By Husband And Son: Rise Of A Billionaire Wife    Attorney Vernon's Visit

    Adele~ The good thing about having guards stationed around me was that I didn't have to see unsightly things like Julia and Ryan anymore. Three days straight, the guards turned them away. One time, one of them flung Julia over his shoulder and sent her into the elevator, then instructed the front hospital security to never allow them near the hospital. I couldn't be more grateful. The days were quiet, I had participated in visual meetings, had some work forwarded to me to handle, so I wouldn't be bored, and went online to see how things were going. But at night, I couldn't take Detroit out of my mind. He hadn’t visited me for three days, but one of the best restaurants in town sent me three square meals daily, on my husband's behalf. I've tried to call him but his line was unreachable. I messaged him countless times but none was read. I wondered what he was up to. And I didn't know who else to call. Setting aside my laptop, I stood and did some stretching. My neck, wrists
