Mr Billionaire's Regret: Ex-wife Returns With His Triplets. Chapter 199: Helen's POV
The words felt solid. Final.For the first time in months, I didn’t feel powerless, I felt dangerous.And that was the beginning of Rose’s end.******The living room was quiet except for the soft hum of the lamp and the steady rustle of papers beneath my hands. The wall I’d built with Caleb’s help was growing, photos, receipts, scribbled notes connected by red lines, forming a messy spiderweb of Rose’s secrets.I was halfway through cross-checking travel records when my daughter’s small voice cut through the silence.“Mommy?”I barely looked up. “Hmm?”Kate stood at the doorway, her little face scrunched in that stubborn pout she’d inherited from me. Her brown hair was a tangled halo around her head, pajamas wrinkled, clutching a pink stuffed rabbit in one hand.“Blake took my toy. The blue truck. He won’t give it back.”I exhaled, rubbing my temple. “Not now, Kate.”“But Mommy—” She walked closer, her tiny bare feet pattering against the hardwood — “he said it’s his now. But it’s m

The silence after Jace left me felt heavier than any headline. His words echoed, sharper than the flashes of paparazzi cameras: Stay away from me. You’re poisonous. You’ve ruined everything.I wanted to cry, I wanted to scream. Instead, I sat at my kitchen table long past midnight, staring at the pile of clippings, screenshots, and notes scattered before me. My life laid out in fragments of scandal, like evidence at a trial where I was both the defendant and the executioner waiting for the verdict.If Jace couldn’t see the truth… if Ashton refused to… then I had no choice but to make the world see it. To make the industry see it. To claw my name back from the dirt Rose had buried it in.I whispered to myself, voice hoarse but steady: “If no one’s going to vindicate me, then I’ll do it myself. I'm tired of being the victim.”Caleb showed up the next morning. He didn’t ask questions when he saw the mess spread across my table. He just set down two coffees and slid into the chair oppos

The room smelled like leather and old wood polish, the kind of place where secrets thrived. Jack always chose settings like this—dimly lit, private, designed to remind me who held the power. His office wasn’t grand, not in the way Ashton’s was. No glass walls or skyline views, but of course, Jack didn’t need them. His strength wasn’t on display, it was in the shadows.I sat across from him, spine straight, fingers knotted in my lap. Every time I saw him, I swore I wouldn’t let him rattle me. Every time, he managed to anyway.He poured himself a drink, the amber liquid catching the faint glow of the lamp. “You’ve been quiet,” he said finally, his voice calm. Too calm. “Not like you.”“I’ve been managing things,” I replied carefully.“Managing?” He raised a brow, almost amused. “Is that what you call it? Because from where I’m sitting, Ashton looks… distracted. Slipping. And you? You don’t seem to have quite the same grip on him as you used to.”Heat rose in my chest. “Ashton still tru

The room was quiet except for the faint hum of the ceiling fan. Callum sat across from me, jacket draped over the chair, sleeves rolled up. Mason leaned against the window, arms crossed, his eyes scanning the street outside as if expecting someone to listen in.That was the mood now. Caution. Secrecy. We had been talking circles for nearly an hour, and still the pieces didn’t line up.“Jack isn’t coming at you head-on,” Callum said finally, breaking the silence. “He’s circling. Testing the fences. Going to your investors, your board members, whispering in the right ears.”He paused and then continued, “He’s not saying he wants your company outright. He’s dangling promises of something shinier, something that looks more profitable.”“Classic bait,” Mason muttered. He didn’t look away from the window. “Get them hooked on the idea that Ashton’s old news before Ashton even realizes the hook is in.”I tapped a finger against the table, the sound too loud in the stillness. “And they’re

I waited for Jace in the quiet corner of the café, my fingers drumming against the ceramic mug I hadn’t touched. My stomach was twisted tight, half nerves, half dread. He hadn’t answered my calls for days. The only reason he agreed to meet now was because I’d cornered him with a text that sounded almost like begging.The door chimed, and there he was — baseball cap pulled low, sunglasses even though the place was dim, hoodie zipped up like he wanted to vanish. He didn’t look at me right away, just scanned the room, his jaw set, like someone walking into an interrogation.When his eyes finally landed on me, there was no warmth. No trace of the guy who used to make me laugh even when everything else in my life was falling apart.He slid into the booth across from me without a word.“Hi,” I said softly, testing the air between us.His answer was a flat, “Let’s make this quick.”My chest tightened. “Jace…”He cut me off, voice low but sharp. “Do you even realize what you’ve done to me?”

“Tell me again,” I said, my voice low but sharp. “Who paid you?”Keats shifted uncomfortably on the narrow bed, his shoulder bandaged and his skin pale from blood loss. The secure room smelled of antiseptic and metal, a converted storage space in one of my lesser-known properties. Two of Callum’s men guarded the door, their silhouettes blocking the light from the hallway.“I told you already,” Keats rasped. “It was Rose.”I leaned forward, resting my elbows on my knees. “You told me a name. I’m asking for the truth.”He licked his lips, eyes darting toward the door like he wanted to bolt, but his body wasn’t going anywhere in its current state. “Look, I took the job because I needed the cash. She offered, I agreed. That’s it.”I shook my head. “No. That’s not it. Rose doesn’t carry that kind of cash in her purse. Where’d it come from?”Silence.I leaned closer until my shadow fell across him. “You have two options, Keats. You tell me, or I hand you over to the people who’ve been foll
