We left the hospital, and he dropped me off before leaving for his appointment. The moment the car pulled away, a deep stillness filled the space he'd left behind, a stillness that screamed louder than any noise. My heart felt heavy, like a cold stone in my chest.

“Ma’am, ma’am,” Sussy's voice, soft and gentle, broke through my disturbed thoughts. I flinched, startled, then quickly tried to compose myself. It was extremely difficult to keep the tears from flowing. They were right there, pressing against my eyes, a burning sensation behind my eyelids.

“Yes, Sussy, what is it?” I forced out, my voice strained, on the verge of breaking. I focused on her, trying to keep my face still, to conceal my inner turmoil.

“Sir and Madam aren't back yet,” she began, her words, a gentle reminder of normal life, felt distant right now. “What should I make for lunch?”

Lunch! The word seemed foreign and distant. Food was the last thing on my mind. My stomach felt tightly knotted, a mix of hurt a

  • Billionaire Betrayer: His Ex-wife’s revenge    Chapter Seventeen: Breakfast with fools

    I woke up not remembering when I'd fallen asleep. My eyes were swollen, my throat raw from crying, but something had changed. That message had planted a seed of strength in me that refused to die.As I prepared for work, I meticulously applied my makeup, brushing over the traces of last night’s tears, transforming my reflection. By the time I was finished, the woman staring back at me almost seemed like the version of myself I recognized again."Sussy! Sussy!" I called out, fastening a gold necklace around my neck."Yes, Ma'am?""Come in. I need you to prepare my breakfast. I'll be eating downstairs this morning."Silence.I turned to find Sussy frozen in the doorway, her eyes wide with shock."Ma?" Her voice trembled with uncertainty."What's with that reaction?""I'm sorry, Ma. I just... for the past few days, you haven't eaten breakfast at home. You always leave early." She wrung her hands nervously. "I wanted to make sure I heard you correctly."Something in her genuine concern ma

    "Sussy!" I called out, my voice echoing through the empty hallway, setting off a flurry of footsteps racing up the stairs. Moments later, Sussy appeared in the doorway, her uniform still damp from Anna's attack and her hair pulled back in a hasty ponytail. Yet, despite the chaos, her eyes sparkled with warmth and gratitude."Yes, Ma?" she replied, a hint of curiosity coloring her tone."Please grab all my bags from the guest room. Everything. And clear out anything that doesn’t belong to me from this space. I’m moving back in.""Right away, Ma."I made my way to the wardrobe, flinging the doors open wide. Empty hangers stared back at me, silent sentinels of everything I had set aside. But not anymore. I reached for the first dress Sussy returned with, the fabric soft and inviting in my hands. I smoothed it lovingly between my fingers, savoring the familiarity, before sliding it onto a hanger with care and hanging it in the wardrobe.I heard the heavy footsteps pounding up the stairs

    Maya's POVAfter giving it more thought, I concluded what I was doing in the office and went home earlier than usual. The drive home felt different this time. My hands were steady on the wheel. As I stepped inside the living room, I heard Anna's voice shouting from the dining area. The shrill, angry tone made me pause."What sort of dumb maid are you? I told you to make the food peppery and what the hell is this that you prepared?"I moved closer, my footsteps silent on the marble floor."I am sorry, Ma, but..." Sussy's voice was trembling, trying to explain.Before she could finish, I heard a splash and Sussy's gasp of shock. I rushed into the dining room just in time to see water dripping down Sussy's face and soaking into her uniform. Anna stood there, an empty glass in her hand, her face twisted with contempt."Anna!" I called out sharply, moving closer. "What the hell did you just do?"Anna jumped slightly, turning to face me. Her expression shifted instantly, the anger melting

    Maya's POV It was already late at night when I finally collapsed onto the guest room bed. My body felt heavy, like someone had replaced my bones with lead. The irony of the situation wasn't lost on me. Sleep was impossible. My mind wouldn't let me rest. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw them. Ethan's hand tangled in Anna's hair. That endless kiss had torn my heart into pieces. Her hand moving in slow circles over her stomach, touching the baby that represented everything I had lost. My mind replayed the scene over and over like a cruel movie I couldn't turn off, each time finding new details to torture me with. I had thought I would be able to get through this. After all, I had already found them together at the hotel. I had already seen the truth with my own eyes. But lying here in the darkness, pushed out of my own bedroom, the reality of it all crashed over me like a wave I couldn't escape. My mind wandered back through the months, searching for signs I had missed. How had

    Maya's POVI expected it to happen, but seeing it in reality hurt far more than I could have ever imagined. My heart pounded against my ribcage as I stood frozen in the doorway of my bedroom.The scene before me was like a nightmare come to life. My husband lying comfortably on my best friend's lap, both of them looking completely at ease in the space that was supposed to be sacred to our marriage."Ethan, what sort of nonsense is this?" My voice came out steadier than I felt, though inside I was screaming.He didn't even bother to look up. His fingers continued scrolling across his phone screen as he lay there with his head on Anna's thigh. She ran her fingers through his hair with slow, loving strokes the same way I thought only a wife should touch her husband. Watching her hands move through his hair made my stomach twist with a pain so sharp I thought I might be sick right there.The same friend who had held me when I cried, who had celebrated my wedding day with tears of joy, was

  • Billionaire Betrayer: His Ex-wife’s revenge    Chapter Twelve: Another reality

    Maya’s Pov"Are you free, come to the house Maya." A text message from my mother that pulled me off guard. This was the first time in two years since Ethan and I got married that my mother had actually sent for me. I was always the one calling them, trying to share my problems so they would know what their only child was going through. But I always got the same excuses, which were either "The Ethan I know is a good and caring husband to you, stop complaining," or "We're busy; we'll call you back," which they never did.I was about to leave for work when I saw the text. Hope flared inside me maybe they had finally called because of my in-laws' accident and wanted to know how I was doing. I quickly drove straight to my parents’ house.I rushed inside, stopping dead in the doorway. My mother was crying, but her face was beaming with pure joy. She was locked in a tight hug with a lady who looked exactly my age. That lady was crying, too. My father was shaking hands with a man I quickly
