Marcus POV

I found Emily alone in the library at 2:00 AM, she was looking out the window. The FBI teams still processing the area.

She looked exhausted. "You should be sleeping," I said.

"Can't sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see Katerina pointing that gun at Nathan, or

Jason's face when he saw his daughter's photo, or Margaret's smile when she thought she'd

won." Emily turned to look at me. "Did you know, Dad? Any of it? Did you have any idea what Margaret was doing?"

  • Goodbye My Billionaire Ex-Husband Watch Me Win    CHAPTER 164: What Marcus Built

    Nathan POVMarcus called at 10:03 AM on day three.Emily was in the water. She had told me at nine-forty that she was swimming and disappeared below deck. She came back wearing a black swimsuit, went off the stern ladder into Monaco harbour. I had watched from the deck with coffee and considerable appreciation.She was still in the water when my phone rang."Marcus.""Nathan. Is she nearby?""In the harbour."A pause. "She's swimming in Monaco harbour.""Yes.""Of course she is." I could hear the smile. "I'll call back.""She'll be out in ten minutes. Tell me what you need to tell me and I'll relay it." I looked at the water where Emily was doing a lazy backstroke twenty metres from the boat. "Marcus, whatever you're planning with the acquisition, she's going to say yes. You know that.""I know. But I want her to say it, not assume it." A pause. "Nathan, I need to tell you something before I speak with her. Something about the acquisition structure.""Tell me.""I'm not buying Lotus-L

  • Goodbye My Billionaire Ex-Husband Watch Me Win    CHAPTER 163: Slow Days

    Emily POVDay two on the water felt different from day one.Day one had been a relief, a specific exhale of people who had been running and finally stopped. Day two was more quiet and peaceful like something that required no name.We had toast and coffee on the deck at eight. Nathan was reading while I watched the harbour. A man on the boat two slips down argued cheerfully with someone on his phone in French. A child on the dock threw bread to pigeons with the generosity of someone for whom this was the most important task of the morning."You're smiling," Nathan said without looking up from his book."The pigeons."He glanced over. "The child.""Both."He went back to his book. I went back to watching.This was the thing I hadn't known I was missing, a quiet morning with no agenda. No briefing at nine, no strategic meeting at ten, no crisis landing in Blake's inbox that would become an issue to me within the next hour. Just bread, pigeons and Nathan reading three feet away."What are

    Nathan POVI woke up before Emily.I lay still and didn't move.Outside the porthole the harbour was pale and silver. Early. The city hadn't started yet. Just water and light and the occasional sound of another boat shiftingMy phone was on the shelf. Blake's message from last night is still unread in full.I reached for it slowly, trying not to shift the mattress.Emily's arm tightened across my chest without her waking up.I put the phone back.It could wait.She stirred twenty minutes later. Slowly and Ggradually. The way she woke when there was no alarm pulling her out."You're awake," she said into the pillow."Have been.""How long?""A while."She lifted her head. "You should have woken me," she said."You were sleeping.""So?""So I didn't want to."She looked at me for a moment. Then she put her head back down on my chest. "What time is it?""Six forty.""Before ten.""Well before ten.""Good." She pulled the blanket up. "Tell me something.""What kind of something?""Anyth

    Emily POVThe boat was called Sable.Nathan hadn't told me that when he booked it. I found out standing on the dock at six in the evening with the Monaco harbour gold around us and the name painted in clean white letters across the stern."Sable," I said."After your first championship helmet design." He was watching my face. "You probably don't remember. The visor strip was sable and gold. I have a photograph of it somewhere."I looked at him. "You researched my helmet design.""Sixteen years ago. When I was finding reasons to think about you that weren't embarrassing." He said it completely straight-faced. "The helmet was a legitimate research topic.""Nathan Zhou.""Emily Zhou." He picked up my bag. "Come aboard."The cabin below was wooden with cream linen and portholes that framed the harbour like paintings. It was narrow but had a complete kitchen, the size of a good idea, a table for two, a bed that took up most of the cabin and looked directly through a low window at the water

    Emily POVI woke up to Nathan's phone going off at six-fourteen AM.He was already awake. Sitting up against the headboard with the phone in his hand, reading something. The morning light was thin and grey through the curtains. I lay still for a moment. "What is it?" I asked."Damien landed at JFK forty minutes ago." He set the phone face down on the nightstand. "He walked straight off the plane into FBI custody. Full voluntary surrender. No lawyers present.""He turned himself in.""Completely. Sarah Morrison says he gave a six-hour preliminary statement last night from the plane. His father's full operational history, every shell company, every contract, every communication including Laurent Becker." Nathan looked at me. "Becker was arrested in Geneva two hours ago. Interpol moved the moment Sarah transmitted Damien's statement."I sat up. "It's done.""The legal process is just starting. But the operation is "Yes and done."I sat with that for a moment. The room was quiet. The est

    Nathan POVMarcus met us at the estate entrance still holding his phone."Catherine called three times," he said. "The third time she told me she'd keep calling until Emily picked up."Emily walked straight past him without stopping.I looked at Marcus. "Give us ten minutes."He nodded and stepped aside.I found Emily in the kitchen standing at the counter with her back to me. "Emily.""I heard you," she said. "Ten minutes.""I meant for Marcus. Not for you." I came around to face her. "Talk to me."She looked up. Her eyes were dry but the exhaustion in them ran deep, the kind that sleep doesn't fully fix. "She used us, Nathan. Singapore, the therapy, the transparency she performed all of it while her research files were already circulating in Bradley's network. She knew what Voss had taken. She had to know.""Probably.""And she said nothing.""No.""And she's calling now because Bradley's in custody and the crisis is over and she's afraid I'll close the door permanently." She exhal
