The first drop landed with a soft tap against the windshield.

Then another.

Then another.

The wipers struggled to keep up, dragging the water aside in harsh sweeps that matched the rhythm of my pulse.

I tightened my grip on the steering wheel.

I had been on my way to Alice’s father’s mansion.

What I planned to do when I got there… I couldn’t explain. Not even to myself.

I just needed answers.

Closure.

Something.

Anything that could make sense of the hollow ache buried deep in my chest since I saw that photo two days too late.

Alice.

Back in the city.

Meeting her mother.

And I was only told now.

My jaw clenched.

Noah’s negligence still burned like acid in my blood.

The rain blurred the streetlights into unfocused amber halos as I sped through the city, ignoring the way the thunder rolled somewhere in the distance.

I needed to see her father.

Needed to ask why she came back, what she wanted, whether—

My phone rang.

Urgent tone.

The one nobody used unless it was life or death.

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   Adrian Spencer is back

    The sky outside the jet window was dark—so dark it felt like I was flying through ink. The clouds rumbled below us like distant thunder, but the noise inside my head was louder. Much louder.I had spent the last ten minutes staring at the floor, at the phone lying where it fell. A message so small… yet powerful enough to tear open six years of buried wounds.My sons.My jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might crack.I forced myself to pick the phone up again. My hand shook. I hated that more than anything.I hated feeling anything.Noah entered the jet cabin quietly, his expression guarded. He must have seen the message—he always saw everything before it exploded.“Sir…” he began carefully, “there’s something else you should know.”I didn’t look up. “Say it.”He hesitated. That was unusual. Noah never hesitated unless the information was explosive.“Adrian Spencer is… in the city.”My head snapped up instantly.“What?”“He arrived yesterday,” Noah said. “Under a business project wi

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   Confirmed, My Boys

    Two Days Later, NetherlandsThe rain in Amsterdam always had a strange way of dragging down a man’s mood, but today I didn’t need the weather’s help. Two days had passed since I left Paris, and every hour since then had been a hellish blur of meetings, construction reports, emergency calls, and a stack of responsibilities high enough to drown any sane man.I stood by the floor-to-ceiling glass wall of the Netherlands branch office, watching the gray skies smear across the city like a painting someone ruined with their fist. My temples throbbed. I hadn’t slept in forty-eight hours—not properly, at least. Every time I closed my eyes, all I saw were those two boys.Those two boys… who looked exactly like me.But I shoved that thought aside again, like I’d been doing for days, and turned when the regional manager entered with another stack of reports.“Sir, the collapsed building in Country B—the casualties are increasing,” he said quietly. “The government wants you on-site immediately. A

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   The Footage They Tried to Bury

    The drive to the café felt like the longest stretch of road in Paris.The city outside blurred past the car windows—light, noise, motion—but none of it existed for me. My mind was still trapped inside the hospital file, inside the discovery that two lives had been stolen from me through a single sentence spoken six years ago.Alive. Twins.My fists tightened again.Noah kept glancing through the rearview mirror, worried, but he didn’t speak. He knew better. He understood the weight of silence when I needed it most.“We’re here, sir,” he finally said.I lifted my head and looked through the window.A small café. Quiet. Tucked away. Perfect for a man who didn’t want to be found.Noah got out first, scanning the area. I followed.As soon as we stepped inside, I saw him—an older man sitting in the far corner, back slightly hunched, cap pulled low over his eyes. His hands trembled where they rested on the table, and his shoulders rose the moment he sensed us approaching.Fear.Even before

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   The File That Should Never Have Existed

    Paris was supposed to feel different.Colder… quieter… sharp enough to cut straight through the haze of confusion that had been choking me for years.But standing by the window of my hotel suite, watching the Parisian lights bleed into each other across the river, I felt nothing but the numb sting of exhaustion. The kind that crawls into your head and refuses to leave.My jaw clenched as I replayed the investigator’s words from earlier — the attack on the warehouse, the dead man, the silence that followed.Another thread of truth cut away.Another reminder that someone was faster than me… smarter than me… more desperate than me.And that someone had just erased the only living witness who knew what happened six years ago.A sharp knock snapped me from my thoughts.I didn’t answer at first — I didn’t have the energy for anyone. But then the knock came again, followed by a familiar voice.“Sir… it’s Noah.”I forced myself upright.“Come in.”The Hotel door opened and Noah stepped inside

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   Sabotaged

    I pulled out my phone and dialed Noah.He picked up immediately.“Sir—”“Prepare the jet,” I said, my voice low. “We’re leaving for Paris in one hour.”There was no hesitation.“Yes, sir.”I ended the call.I didn’t bother returning to the company. I didn’t need another meeting, another round of pretended normalcy, or another second wasted. Whatever was happening had already moved past the borders of the city—straight into Paris.And Alice was there.I exhaled slowly, steadying myself.Snowy opened the car door for me, and as I slid inside, the engine revved and shot forward toward the private airstrip. My mind stayed locked on the unanswered questions tightening like wire inside my chest.I leaned my head back, eyes closed, letting the silence fill the space around me as the car sped through the fading sunlight.The jet was already prepared when we arrived. Noah stood beside the steps, checking documents, barking orders, finalizing the flight route. He straightened the moment he saw

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   Schemes Behind The Scene

    The next morning, I woke up before dawn not because I wanted to, but because sleep refused to come. My entire room still held the ruins of last night’s rage. Shattered perfume bottles glittered like broken stars on the floor. A toppled lamp lay against the wall. One of my heels had snapped in half from how hard I threw it.All because of her .Alice.The name throbbed in my skull like a curse, like poison crawling through my veins.And today, Vincent was supposed to visit.A thin smile curled at the corner of my lips as I sat in front of my vanity, brushing my hair slowly. Carefully. Precisely. Not a strand out of place. My makeup immaculate, my outfit elegant, my expression soft and docile — everything he expected to see.Everything I had perfected for years.He may not have chosen me before,but now… finally…I had the upper hand.The engagement ring glimmering on my finger proved it.He had no idea how close everything was to falling perfectly into place.Except for one threat.One
