Goodbye My Billionaire Ex-Husband Watch Me Win CHAPTER 147: The Price of Knowing
Nathan POVI showed Emily the message of blackmail threats he sent me. Not because I planned to. I had planned to sit on it and come to her with something resembling a strategy instead of the raw, ugly thing Sebastian had dropped on my phone at midnight. Then I walked back from the bathroom and saw her at the window in my old sweatshirt, looking like a woman who had fought the whole night and lost.I handed her the phone.She read it twice. Second time slower."Something about my genetic profile that I don't know." Not a question but just the words turned over and unable to comprehend "He's probably bluffing. Creating leverage before he makes a move.""And if he's not?"I didn't answer. Which was its own answer."Nathan." Her voice was quiet. "Sebastian isn't a scientist. He doesn't run a lab. He didn't discover this alone." She looked at me. "Someone gave it to him."That was the part that had kept me awake all night.I got ready and went to Marcus's office. Nine O'clock sharp.Bla

Nathan POVThe Lothan Industries private jet cut through the night sky toward Singapore. Emily satacross from me, reviewing security protocols Blake had sent. The twins were asleep in therear cabin finally looking like normal six-year-old girls instead of Catherine's geneticexperiments."Blake says Sebastian's media contacts are already asking questions," Emily said quietly."We have maybe seventy-two hours before someone publishes speculation about the twins'genetics. Catherine's therapy works better.""We're trusting Catherine with our daughters again. Nathan, tell me we're notmaking a catastrophic mistake.""I can't. But what's the alternative? Let Sebastian expose them?"My phone buzzed. Message from Marcus.The flight tracker shows you're four hours from Singapore. Blake's coordinating security on theground. Nathan, Catherine's facility is a legitimately registered medical research clinic. Looksclean from outside but monitor everything she does. We don't know her real agen

Emily POVI called Vanessa and explained Sebastian's threat, the sabotage, the choice we faced."Release the files," Vanessa said immediately. "Emily, I'm not worth protecting if it meansletting Sebastian keep hurting people. Publish everything, my crimes, his crimes, all of it.Let the world judge both of us.""You could face prosecution. The statute of limitations doesn't cover everything in those files.""Then I face prosecution. Emily, I helped Sebastian commit crimes for three years. I've hadseven years of freedom I didn't necessarily deserve. If honesty means prison, at least it'shonest prison."Her courage amazed me. "Are you sure?""I'm sure. Sebastian thinks threatening my consulting firm will make you back down. Showhim threatening me makes you double down. Release the files and destroy him completely."I hung up and looked at Blake. "Release everything. Margaret's files, Vanessa's testimony,Sebastian's eighteen years of criminal activity tonight, before Sebastian can p

Emily POVSix months after Sebastian Cross fled to Switzerland, life found an unusual rhythm. LotusAutomotive sold for eight billion. Sebastian accepted, overpaid dramatically, andimmediately discovered he'd bought an expensive shell. We retained all IP, key personnel,and the Formula One team.Lothan-Lotus Racing prepared for our debut season. I stood in the team garage atBarcelona testing, watching mechanics work on our cars during their eighteen months of development."Emily, we have telemetry from Davies Hartley's run, " my race engineer called. "Fastestlap of the session. The car's performing beyond our projections."I studied the data. Hartley was twenty-three, aggressive, hungry and that's exactly what we needed.Our second driver, Mercedes refugee Lucas Werner, provided experience and consistency."Tell Davies to push harder. I want to see where the limit is."Nathan appeared beside me."You're in your element. Haven't seen you this alive sincebefore house arrest.""Racing

CHAPTER 143: The TestimonyVanessa POVI could barely sleep and it all kept replaying in my head, the kidnapping attempt, the hands grabbing me, Blakecame out of the Lothan tower to save me like someone from an action movie.At 6 AM, Emily knocked on my door."The press conference is at 10. Witness protection is still an option.""I'm testifying. I've been a shameful secret for too long. It's time to be honest about what I was."She studied me. "You've really changed.""I try every day, it doesn't erase the past but maybe it balances it slightly.""Did Jason love you? Really?"The question surprised me. "He loved the escape I represented. I was more of a distraction to him and I knewwhere I stood in terms of the relationship we had but I was rebellion against responsibility. And I loved whathe gave me security, feeling special. That wasn't love,Emily, that was transactional with emotional glazing. We were both lying to ourselves or I'd rather say I waslying to myself that I could

Blake POV Santiago pulled up and article from his tablet and Sebastian’s statement lit the screen. He'd already spin about the ongoing investigation painting us as thugs.His daylight kidnapping was rewritten in real time. Sebastian had posted a statement:Today, one of my former contractors was assaulted by Lothan Industries security whileattempting to conduct legitimate private investigation. The Lothan family's violent responsedemonstrates the thuggish tactics they employ. I'm filing charges against Blake Thompsonfor assault and considering civil lawsuit for excessive force. This is what happens whencorporate bullies feel threatened by legitimate business competition."He's spinning the kidnapping as legitimate investigation," I said. "Making us look like theaggressors.""We have video evidence," Marcus countered. "Security cameras captured everything.Sebastian's contractor explicitly said they were taking Vanessa by force. This is desperatespin control.""Desperate or ef
