Grant noticed her absence before anyone mentioned it.

Scarlett’s office door remained shut well past 8am. No movement. No assistant hovering nervously outside. No clipped heels echoing down the corridor the way they had every morning since she’d taken over her son’s seat-since she’d planted herself at the heart of the Ashbourne Empire.

By ten, it was undeniable.

“She won’t be coming in today,” his assistant said casually, as though the words carried no weight at all.

Grant looked up sharply. “W

  • Ex wife’s return: Claiming the billionaire’s crown   CHAPTER 62-BLOODLINES AND LIES

    Cassian slowly opened his eyes.For a few seconds, everything around him was a blur.The ceiling above him was white. The lights were painfully bright, and there was a dull pressure pounding against the side of his head.He blinked several times, trying to remember where he was.Then he turned his head.Scarlett was sitting beside his bed.She looked exhausted.Her arms were folded across her chest, and there was a cup of untouched coffee sitting on the small table beside her. The moment she noticed his eyes were open, she straightened.“Cassian?”He frowned.“What happened?”Scarlett exhaled, relief washing across her face.“You passed out.”Cassian tried to sit up.Pain immediately shot through his head.“Easy.”Scarlett placed a hand against his shoulder.“You have a concussion. Nothing too severe, according to the doctors, but she hit your head pretty badly.”Cassian closed his eyes for a moment.Then the memories began returning.The warehouse.The photographs.Elise.The gun.His inv

    There were footsteps all around the building Elise stood with the gun pressed tightly against her side.Cassian watched her from the chair, every muscle in his body tense.He could also hear the footsteps outside.One at first.His investigator.Cassian knew the man well enough to know he wouldn’t simply rush inside. He would be assessing the situation first.Elise didn’t know that and that was what made her dangerous.She took another step toward the door.“Elise.”She stopped but didn't look back.Cassian kept his voice low.“Look at me.”She didn’t.Her fingers tightened around the gun.“He followed you?” she asked in a whisper.“Yes.”Her breathing became faster.“He’s going to call the police.”“He probably already has.”Elise turned sharply.Cassian met her eyes.“But killing him won’t change that.”Her expression hardened.“You don’t know that.”“I do.”“You’re just saying that because you’re afraid.”Cassian almost smiled.“I am afraid.”The admission made Elise pause.Cassian conti

    The first thing Cassian felt was pain.A sharp, relentless ache pulsed through the side of his head.Then came the taste of metal.Blood.Cassian’s brows drew together.For several seconds, he remained completely still.His head felt heavy,his thoughts were slow.Fragments of memory came back to him in pieces.The warehouse.The darkness.His phone.Elise.Then-The impact.Cassian’s eyes opened.Everything was blurry.Light cut through the darkness in thin, pale streams, slipping through the dirty windows high above him. His vision shifted slightly as he blinked.Once.Twice.Then everything became clear.He immediately tried to move.Nothing happened.His hands were tied behind the chair and his legs were secured too.Cassian went completely still.For the first time since opening his eyes, his expression changed.His jaw tightened.He slowly tested the restraints.Strong.Professional enough that they wouldn’t come loose simply because he pulled harder.His pulse remained steady.But his mind

    Chapter 59-Cassian was in his office when his phone rang.He looked at the screen.His investigator.He answered immediately.“Tell me something useful.”There was a brief pause.“Good afternoon to you too, Mr. Blackwell.”Cassian’s expression didn’t change.The investigator continued.“I’ve been looking into the woman from the photographs.”Cassian leaned back in his chair.“Already?”“I’ve identified her.”His fingers tightened slightly around the phone.“And?”“Her name is Dr. Margaret Hayes.”Cassian’s expression hardened.“A doctor.”“Yes.”“What kind?”Another pause.“Gynecologist.”Cassian went still.The word seemed to settle heavily inside his office.Gynecologist.Elise.A secret meeting.An envelope.Cassian’s gaze moved toward the photographs lying on his desk.His investigator continued.“Would you like me to send you her full information?”“Send everything.”“There’s something else.”Cassian stood.“What?”“Dr. Hayes has been connected to a patient whose name you might recogn

    Diane had been staring at the hospital doors for nearly five minutes.She had told herself she was waiting for the elevator.That was the excuse she gave herself every time someone walked past.The truth was that she couldn’t make herself leave.Not yet.Her fingers were wrapped tightly around the strap of her handbag as she stood at the end of the corridor, her eyes fixed on the private room just ahead.Grant was inside.She had watched Scarlett go inside.Diane’s jaw tightened.She hadn’t planned on coming to the hospital that afternoon. In fact, she had spent the better part of the morning trying to convince herself that she had no reason to come at all.Grant was recovering.That was what the staff had told her.The surgery had gone well.He was awake.And somehow, despite knowing all of that, Diane had still found herself getting dressed.Still found herself sitting in the backseat of her car.Still found herself walking through the hospital doors.She lied to herself that it was beca

  • Ex wife’s return: Claiming the billionaire’s crown   CHAPTER 57-PUZZLE PIECES

    Scarlett had spent the better part of the morning walking between two hospital rooms.Theo was in one,Grant was in the other.And somehow, despite having spent years believing she could handle anything life decided to throw at her, Scarlett felt as though she had been split directly down the middle.Every time she sat beside Theo, her mind wandered to Grant.Every time she stood beside Grant’s bed, her thoughts immediately returned to Theo.She had barely slept,not that she had truly tried.The surgery had gone well.The doctors had told her that more than once, and each time Scarlett heard the words, a small part of the suffocating weight pressing against her chest loosened.The surgery went well.It had become the only sentence she wanted to hear.Theo was recovering.Grant was recovering.Everything was going to be okay.Or at least, Scarlett desperately hoped it would be.Theo’s room felt quieter than the rest of the hospital.Scarlett had chosen to spend most of the morning there becau

    The organ’s last notes faded into the silence of the chapel, leaving only the faint rustle of designer fabrics and murmured condolences. The Ashbourne funeral was supposed to be a statement of legacy, but all anyone could think about now was the ghost who had returned wearing heels sharp enough to

    Manhattan.The sky above was a shade of blue that felt staged-too immaculate for a funeral. But Charles Ashbourne would have wanted it this way,a large crowd and unforgettable headlines.Outside the grand chapel,velvet ropes lined the cobblestones, struggling to hold back the swarm of paparazzi and

    The front door shut quietly behind Scarlett as she walked timidly behind her husband and his family. It had been a long day of one of their unending social events and they had been outside giving fake smiles and poses for the media and newspaper covers. One would think that she would finally have
