"But he never actually harmed her, did he?" Liam Martin asked, his voice hollow.

If only he had processed these thoughts sooner, perhaps things wouldn't have reached this point of no return.

Lana slowly released his collar and sank back into the sofa. Her rage had simmered down into a heavy, weary frustration. "Don't you get it yet? Chloe Bishop is married. You and her—it's over. There is no 'us' anymore."

Liam thought of the scene he had witnessed that morning at the Grayson estate—the domesti

  • Betrayed By The Billionaire   308

    As the movers continued to strip the walls, Sarah Vance looked at the woman who had spent ten years trying to erase her existence. The memories surfaced like bitter bile.When Maddy was born, the moment Victoria Vance discovered the baby was a girl, she didn't even wait for Sarah to leave the delivery room. She had feigned a sudden "illness" to Arthur Vance and vanished. During the entire month of Sarah's recovery, Victoria hadn't visited once.Then, the moment the recovery period ended, Victoria had stormed into the house—not with a gift for the baby, but with a stack of prescriptions. "Drink these," she had commanded. "They will ensure the next one is a son."Sarah, who was still breastfeeding Maddy, had refused to take unknown chemicals that could harm her child. Victoria’s response had been a cold order to switch to formula immediately. It wasn't that Sarah didn't want more children; she just wanted to wait until Maddy was older. But Victoria didn't care about a mother's bond—she

    The fever burning through Sarah Vance was no longer just a symptom; it was a fire consuming her from within. Ever since Yvonne Blue had fractured her life, Sarah had been unable to eat or sleep. Her body, once a portrait of grace, was now skeletal. Her hair fell out in clumps, and her skin had lost all its luster, looking as gray as the walls of the mansion that felt more like a tomb every day.She hated this version of herself—broken, withered, and drowning—but she couldn't find the strength to claw her way back to the light.Gritting her teeth, she forced herself to swallow the last few pills in her cabinet. Her stomach cramped with a sharp, gnawing hunger. She stumbled into the kitchen, hoping for a crust of bread, but the refrigerator was a sterile white void.Then she saw the trash can.It was overflowing. Fresh pastries, organic vegetables, and prime cuts of meat—all discarded. Arthur Vance hadn't just moved out; he had performed a scorched-earth evacuation. He had ensured that

    Arthur’s Voice (from the recorder): "I’ve been fed up with her dominance for a long time. Everything she has, I gave to her. Without me, Sarah Vance is nothing. Why should I still have to coax her and cater to her?"What does it mean for a heart to truly die? This is the sound of it.When they married, Arthur Vance had sworn to cherish her forever. He promised she would never suffer a day of hardship, that her hands would never touch the grime of the world. For years, he had kept those vows. Sarah Vance had allowed herself to believe she had found a sanctuary—a powerful man she could depend on while she dedicated her life to being his wife and the mother of his child.But now, those once-sacred promises had been weaponized into a ledger of debt.Because she ate his food and wore the clothes he bought, he believed he was the only one contributing. In his mind, her labor didn't exist. The thousands of days and nights she spent managing his home, raising Maddy, and supporting his social

    Arthur Vance was gone. He had taken every servant, every driver, and every shred of his presence with him, leaving Sarah Vance alone in a mausoleum of marble and cold echoes.Sarah stood in the center of the hollow foyer, the silence ringing in her ears. She knew Arthur’s patterns; he was a shark in the boardroom, and he would apply that same predatory ruthlessness to their divorce. He would strip her of her dignity, her assets, and her name without a second thought for the decade they had shared.But Sarah wasn't afraid. When the heart has already been executed, what is left to fear from the hangman?That afternoon, the doorbell rang. Sarah opened it to find Yvonne Blue standing on the threshold.Seeing that "pure," triumphant face made Sarah’s pulse spike with a primal urge—to tear the smugness right off her skin. She wanted to draw blood, but the thought of staining her own hands with someone so filthy kept her rooted to the spot. The rage passed, replaced by a terrifying, absolute

    Arthur Vance no longer bothered to mask the layers of loathing and contempt in his voice. "Sarah, don't be greedy. Push too hard and you’ll end up with nothing. Those millions you moved? I’ll have them back in my accounts before the sun sets."Sarah Vance met his gaze with a chillingly calm smirk. "Try me.""Fine. You forced my hand."Right there in the foyer, Arthur dialed his lead counsel, demanding a full police investigation into "unauthorized asset diversion." He then called Secretary Lee, barking orders to hire the best cyber-security hackers in Haicheng to track the digital trail of the missing funds. "I want a report on my desk in one hour," he commanded, his eyes never leaving Sarah’s face.Sarah didn't even blink. She turned and walked up the stairs, leaving him to his digital warfare.While he waited for the results, Arthur went into the master suite to pack. This wasn't a temporary move; he was stripping his presence from the house. He cleared out his side of the walk-in c

    “Do you have any idea how exhausting it is to live with her?”Arthur Vance let out a jagged, uncontrolled roar at Yvonne Blue. The polished mask of the corporate titan was gone, replaced by a man drowning in a decade of resentment. “I’ve been sick of her dominance for years! Everything she has, I gave to her. Without me, Sarah Vance is nothing. So why was I always the one who had to coax her, humiliate myself to please her, and yield to her every whim?”Yvonne recoiled as if physically struck, her eyes wide with carefully choreographed terror.Arthur caught himself, taking a ragged, deep breath to steady his racing pulse. “I’m sorry, Yvonne. I’m not shouting at you. It’s just… it’s been bottled up for too long.”Yvonne delicately brushed away a stray tear and buried her face against Arthur’s chest. Her voice was a soothing, melodic balm. “If you’re willing, I will always be here to listen. You don’t have to carry it alone.”Arthur wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into th
