CHAPTER 13

SLOANE

When I got back to my mother’s room, I pushed the door open quietly and stepped inside, immediately fixing my expression into a calmer one when I noticed my mother awake.

Her pale face turned slightly toward me and even though she looked weak against the hospital pillows, her eyes still carried the same sharpness I remembered growing up with.

“You took long enough.” Her voice came out dry.

Relief flooded through me so quickly that I nearly burst into tears.

“You’re awake.” I w

  • Ex Wife's Revenge: Not His Heir, Still His Regret.    Chapter 13

    SLOANEThe hospital cafeteria was one floor down, and I had barely registered the distance between my mother’s ward and the elevator before exhaustion started to creep into my bones. Everything had been a blur since we arrived, machines, doctors, insurance forms, Rhys Storm’s unsettling presence hovering around every corner like he belonged both in my past and in places he had no right to be.But hunger didn’t care about emotional chaos. My mother needed food, and I needed to keep moving before my mind caught up with everything threatening to break me apart.I stepped out of the stairwell door, adjusting my hospital pass at my wrist when I saw Killian and Nika. They stood near the corridor leading to the oncology wing, too composed, too intentional to be just passing through. Killian’s posture was straight, his expression unreadable at first glance, but I knew him too well not to notice the tension in his jaw. Nika stood slightly behind him, her hand resting lightly on her stomach

    KILLIANThe meeting had dragged on for nearly three hours, and by the time the fifth board member began repeating a point that had already been discussed twice, irritation sat heavily beneath my skin.Usually, I would have tolerated it, usually I had patience for businessBut lately, it’s been a different thing altogether. Ever since the scandal surrounding my marriage exploded publicly, everything had become unbearable. Investors were whispering, shareholders were asking questions indirectly, and media outlets kept dancing around headlines they were too careful to publish outright.Killian Ardenian’s wife involved in infidelity scandal.The mere thought darkened my mood instantly.I leaned back in my chair silently while one of the executives continued presenting quarterly projections across the screen. Nobody in the room dared acknowledge the tension hanging over me, but I noticed the cautious glances anyway.They all knew and what irritated me most wasn’t even the cheating itself.

    SLOANEThe moment we arrived at Norcane International Medical Center, everything became chaos.Nurses moved briskly around my mother’s wheelchair while attendants pushed open double doors leading deeper into the private oncology wing. The sharp scent of antiseptic filled my lungs as I walked beside her bed with trembling fingers wrapped tightly around the rail.“Mum?” I called softly, brushing her cold hand. “We’re here now.”Her eyes fluttered weakly, exhaustion etched into every fragile inch of her face, and guilt clawed viciously through my chest all over again.The flight had drained her badly.I walked ahead speaking with one of the administrative staff while my father remained beside me in complete silence. His expression looked carved from stone as always, but I noticed the faint tightness in his jaw every time my mother coughed.The nurses finally wheeled her into a private ward and immediately began hooking her up to machines while another doctor reviewed the medical files Vel

    CHAPTER 9SLOANE“Did you really divorce your husband, Sloane?”I stared at Dominic silently after the question left his mouth, my fingers tightening unconsciously around my mother’s frail hand.There it was, the curiosity, the judgment and the need to know exactly how badly my life had fallen apart.A humorless smile tugged at my lips as I slowly looked away from him.“You’ve gotten quite bold over the years,” I muttered quietly. “Asking about my private life like you actually have the right.”His brows furrowed slightly. “That’s not what I meant.”“Then what exactly did you mean?” I snapped, exhaustion creeping sharply into my voice. “Because unless I suddenly missed the part where we became close, I don’t remember owing you explanations.”Dominic remained silent for a few seconds before sighing quietly. “I wasn’t trying to upset you.”“Well, congratulations,” I answered bitterly. “You failed.”The room fell quiet again and I could feel him staring at me, probably trying to figure ou

    SLOANEA painful smile tugged at my lips as my fingers tightened around my phone.Funny, very funny.Killian Ardenian, the man who had once spent an entire night tangled around me like he couldn’t get enough, was now acting like he couldn’t even remember touching me.Eight weeks ago.The memory came

    SLOANEI didn’t cry when I left the hospital.Not when the nurse handed me my discharge papers with a careful smile, not when I signed the final documents with trembling fingers, and not even when I stepped out into the open air with nothing but a suitcase and a future that looked nothing like what

    SLOANE“What the hell are you? Killian, don't listen to him.” My eyes glued to Nika, a small smug smile hanging at the side of her lips.It must be her. She had literally pushed me off the stairs, there was no length she wouldn't stoop to just to make sure she had Killian to herself.“Don't listen

    RHYS STORMI don’t remember her face. But I remember everything else.And somehow, that had been the only thing weighing on my mind since that night.“Are you even listening to me? Or don’t you trust your grandmother’s choice?” I exhaled sharply, lifting a patient’s file while my phone remained pre
