Contracted To The Col-Hearted Bilionaire Chapter 142
Clarissa’s POV My heart still hadn’t settled.It was beating too fast, too uneven, like it didn’t trust the reality my eyes were seeing. And honestly… Neither did I.Reed was alive. I kept repeating it in my head, hoping it would eventually feel normal.It didn’t. Instead, I just stood there in the middle of the living room, staring at him like if I blinked too long, he’d disappear again.“This is insane,” I whispered under my breath.“You’re really alive…” I said, my voice trembling slightly.Reed gave me a small nod, his expression softer now.“I am.”I let out a breath I didn’t realize I had been holding.Then, before I could stop myself, I laughed.It wasn’t a normal laugh.It was the kind that comes when your emotions don’t know where to go , half disbelief, half joy.“You have no idea how crazy this is,” I said, shaking my head. “I literally thought I was looking at a ghost five minutes ago.”Maya let out a small, nervous laugh beside me.“Same,” she admitted.But Dante wasn’t

Dante's POV “And?” I pressed.Clarissa hesitated then finally said it.“He told me Chelsea was responsible for Reed’s death.”My head snapped toward Reed.“He wasn’t dead,” I said, confused. “So what does that even mean?”“It means,” Clarissa said slowly, “that she was behind the attempt.”Maya’s grip tightened on my arm.“I knew it…” she whispered.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing slightly.“Okay—so Chelsea tried to kill you,” I said to Reed. “We saw the video. Fine. But why? What does she gain from that?”Reed’s jaw tightened.“Everything.”I stopped pacing.“Explain.”He looked at all of us one by one as if weighing how much we could handle.Then he spoke.“Chelsea was never in an abusive marriage.”The words hit strangely unexpectedly.“What?” Cathy said, frowning. “But she told me…”“She lied,” Reed cut in.“Her husband, Charles,” he continued, “never raised a hand against her.”Clarissa blinked.“That doesn’t make sense,” she said. “Why would she lie about something like th

Dante's POV The word felt ridiculous, impossible and yet abnormal to think like that.What else could it be?Cathy stepped in front of us.“It’s not a ghost,” she said firmly.“Then what is it?” I demanded.“Cathy,” I said, my voice dropping, “you need to explain. Right now.”Slowly, she turned toward the couch.“Reed,” she said.My breath caught.For a moment, nothing happened.Then, he moved just slightly.His head tilted and then he turned.His eyes met mine and I swear I felt my soul leave my body.“Dante,” he said.My name.I stumbled back, nearly losing my balance.“No…” I whispered.This wasn’t real. This couldn’t be real.“You’re dead,” I said, my voice breaking. “I saw you. We buried you—”“No,” Reed said calmly.He stood up.“I didn’t die.”Silence crashed over the room.I shook my head violently.“That’s not possible,” I said. “We had a body. We all saw it. Everyone—”“It wasn’t me.”The words hit like a gunshot.I froze.“What?” Maya whispered.Reed took a step closer.Insti

Dante's POV I didn’t like the silence in the car. It wasn’t the comfortable kind nor was it the kind that settles in when people have said everything they need to say. No, this one felt heavy, like something was sitting between us, breathing quietly, waiting for the right moment to strike.I kept my eyes on the road, hands tight around the steering wheel. The streetlights stretched ahead in long, dim lines, flickering occasionally like they were warning me to turn back.Behind me, Cathy and Maya talked.At first, it was soft. Careful. Like they were testing each other, making sure the other was still the same person they remembered. Then gradually, their voices warmed, slipping into laughter, into shared memories, into everything that had happened while they’d been apart.“…and then I told him he was insane if he thought I’d just—”Maya’s voice broke into laughter.I swallowed hard.That laugh.For a moment, it made everything feel normal again.But normal wasn’t something I trusted

Dante's POV I frowned slightly. “What’s that supposed to mean?”She crossed her arms, tilting her head just a little.“It means,” she said, “that she doesn’t want to face it alone.”“That’s normal,” I said. “It’s a big step.”Cathy gave a small, knowing smile.“Is that what you think this is?”Something in her tone made my stomach tighten and I didn't like that feeling. Was Cathy just going to continue with her attitude?“What else would it be?”She didn’t answer immediately.Instead, she studied me carefully like she was trying to decide how much to say.Then she asked the question.“Are you the reason she’s getting divorced?”The words hit harder than they should have.“What?” I said sharply.Cathy didn’t flinch.“You heard me.”“That’s ridiculous,” I replied. “Chelsea’s marriage had problems long before I showed up.”“Maybe,” Cathy said. “But that doesn’t mean you didn’t play a part in the ending.”I felt irritation rise.“No,” I said firmly. “I didn’t.”Cathy’s gaze didn’t waver.

Dante's POV I believed her and that was the problem because Reed was right. If the killer was someone close then finding her wasn’t just going to expose the truth. It was going to destroy whatever was left of our lives.Maya broke the silence.“Dante,” she said softly.I turned to her.Her expression had changed, it was less tense and more searching.“Are you back with Chelsea?” she asked.The question caught me off guard.“What?”It came out sharper than I intended.Maya held my gaze.“I saw you with her earlier,” she said. “And I just… wanted to know.”For a second, the tension in the room shifted, not gone but redirected.I exhaled slowly.“No,” I said. “That ended a long time ago.”Maya’s shoulders relaxed slightly, but she didn’t look entirely convinced.“We’re not together,” I continued. “I’m just helping her.”“Helping her how?” Cathy asked, her tone neutral but curious.“She’s getting divorced,” I said. “Her husband… it’s complicated. She needs support.”“That’s all?” Maya as
