Dear Ex-husband; You'll beg for me Chapter 64: The Sanctuary of Shadows
(Elara's POV)The darkness of the carriage house was not merely an absence of light. It was a physical weight pressing against my eardrums as the hum of the high end servers died a sudden violent death. When Peter cut the power the silence that rushed in was deafening. It was broken only by the rhythmic mechanical hiss and click of Silas's portable ventilator. The sound echoed like the breathing of a wounded beast hidden in the corner of the room."Peter the gurney now," I whispered. My voice felt small against the backdrop of the encroaching storm.Outside the world was no longer peaceful. The Heights with its manicured lawns and silent streetlights had betrayed us. I could hear the gravel of the driveway crunching under tires that were not trying to be quiet. These were not scouts. They were a recovery team."I cannot just yank the leads Elara." Peter's voice was a frantic jagged edge in the dark. I could see the pale
Dear Ex-husband; You'll beg for me chapter 63: You're in there
(Elara's POV)The carriage house was a relic of a different era, all dark oak beams, smelling of linseed oil and the cold, damp scent of sleeping stone. It was a fortress disguised as a family heirloom.While Charles and Peter worked with the grim efficiency of soldiers to move Silas into the ground-floor suite, I stood in the center of the room, my hands still vibrating from the adrenaline of the chase. The silence here was different than the silence of the clinic. In the clinic, the quiet was manufactured, sterilized. Here, the silence felt heavy, layered with the ghosts of my own childhood and the encroaching reality that we were now officially fugitives."He's stable," Peter called out, his voice echoing slightly off the high ceilings. He was hovering over the monitors he'd just patched into the house's backup generator. "The transport didn't tank his stats as much as I feared. His heart rate is hovering at 62.
Dear Ex-husband; You'll beg for me Chapter 63; Off the grid
(Elara's POV)The transition from the clinic to the van was not the clean, clinical extraction I had imagined. It was a desperate, fumbling heist where the cargo was the man I loved.The hallway of the private wing felt a mile long. Charles and Mercer moved with a synchronized, predatory grace, flanking the gurney while Peter trailed behind, his eyes glued to a tablet that showed the clinic’s security feed in grainy thermal patches. I walked at Silas’s side, my hand resting on the railing of the bed, feeling every vibration of the rubber wheels against the linoleum.He looked so small. Without the grand mahogany desk of his office or the tailored lines of his charcoal suits, Silas was just a collection of sharp bones and pale skin. The portable ventilator hissed—a rhythmic, mechanical sigh that felt like the only thing keeping the world from collapsing in on itself."Clear," Mercer whispered into a headset.W
Dear Ex-husband; You'll beg for me Chapter 62: Cornered
(Elara's POV)The clinic was too quiet. Not the peaceful kind of quiet, but the heavy, pressurized stillness of a tomb. The only thing breaking it was the hum of the air filter and the rhythmic, hollow beep of Silas’s heart monitor.Morning light cut through the blinds in sharp, golden slats, but it didn't make the room feel any warmer. My neck was a knotted mess from sleeping in that rigid chair, and my eyes felt like someone had rubbed sand into them.Peter was hunched over a laptop in the corner, his face washed in a sickly blue light. He hadn't muttered a word in an hour. By the window, Charles stood like a gargoyle, arms crossed, staring down at the parking lot. He was waiting for the world to break.Mercer was a shadow behind the door—always there, always silent.The vibration of my phone on the plastic nightstand felt like a physical jolt. I didn't recognize the number. I let it buzz a few time
Dear Ex-husband; You'll beg for me Chapter 61: The First Strike
(Elena's POV)The silence after Silas slept again was different. It was not the quiet of waiting. It was the quiet of a decision made. The air felt charged, like the moment before a lightning strike.Charles moved first. He picked up the gray ledger from the side table with precise movements. He flipped it open to Thorne’s page, his eyes scanning the cold, clinical text."Lycos Holdings. Starling Trust. Mako Ltd."He read the names of the shell companies like a judge reading a verdict."The audit trail for Lycos is the thinnest. It is the most exposed. He will have the least time to move or hide it."He looked at me. The question was not in his words, but in his eyes. He was asking if I was ready.My husband’s hand was still in mine, warm and slack. He had woken up a stranger and handed me the sword. If I hesitated now, the man who did this to him won. The woman who manipulated my father won. My pathetic and
Dear Ex-husband; You'll beg for me Chapter 60: I'm Here Silas
(Elara's POV)The clock on the wall didn’t tick.It bled.167:59:02.One hundred and sixty-seven hours.Peter had spoken those digits with a cold, technical reverence. He sounded like he was reading the remaining runtime on a battery. To him, it was a data point. To me, it was the sound of a coffin lid being nailed shut. One second at a time.I sat in that plastic chair until my body felt like it was made of glass.Every joint ached.My spine felt fused to the seat.I had been in this room so long that the smell of antiseptic and old coffee had become my new skin. It was a sour scent. It was a smell of waiting and decay. I was beyond tired. I was hollow. I was a ghost waiting for a body to wake up.A week.In a week, Marcus Thorne would find us.In a week, the empire Silas built would crumble into ash.I looked at the man in the bed.He looked so small under the white sheets.This was the man who moved mountains.This was the man w
