His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret Chapter 163
Vaughn’s Point of View“You will have to cooperate with us, Mr. Carson,” the detective said, leaning over the steel table.I placed my clasped hands on the scratched surface, looking him dead in the eye with zero emotion. “For the tenth time, I’m not saying another word until I speak to my lawyer. And quite frankly, I’m tired of this bullshit.”My voice was unnaturally calm, which only seemed to piss the detective off even more. I kept my face straight, refusing to break. I wasn’t going to give this bastard the satisfaction of enjoying his little victory party for busting me.Not that I was a fucking criminal, but I know the prosecution has been digging into my company for years.“What do you think your wife will think when she realizes that—”“My lawyer,” I cut him off, my gaze dropping into an icy glare that made him snap his mouth shut. “And don’t fucking talk about my wife.”He sat back in his chair, staring at me for a minute before pushing himself up and storming out of the inte

Orana’s Point of ViewI scrambled up the stairs to my room, my hands shaking, so I almost dropped my phone twice before dialing Dante.“Orana?” he picked up on the second ring, his tone cautious and concerned.“Vaughn got arrested! Just now, they...” My voice broke into a sob as I tried to force the words out, pacing back and forth across the rug. “The feds... they came to the house with an arrest warrant. My father was...”I heard the rustle of papers and movement in the background as Dante pieced it together.“Help him, Dante. Please help him,” I cried through the phone, my heart racing so hard against my chest.“I will, okay? You did great to call me,” he said, and I blinked back my tears.“I want you to get off the phone and do me a favor,” Dante said, his voice dropping into commands.“Okay,” I breathed, pressing the phone tighter to my ear.“I want you to make sure this stays out of the media. I am rushing to the station right now to see what’s happening and handle the processin

Orana’s Point of View“Can you turn around, Mr. Carson?” the agent instructed, stepping forward.He pulled a pair of steel handcuffs from his belt, his eyes locked on Vaughn.“This is wrong!” I yelled, stepping between them and my husband. “He didn’t do this! You have the wrong man! If anything, my father should be the one being arrested.”“Mrs. Carson, step back,” Agent Rowland warned, but I couldn’t move. How the hell was my father still walking around free?“No. You can’t do this. He didn’t…” My heart was racing. “My father is the one you should be arresting, not my husband.” I was practically screaming at the top of my voice.“Orana,” Vaughn said through gritted teeth. “Liorah.”“Can you please not do this in front of my daughter?” Vaughn asked, his voice remaining terrifyingly calm and even. He looked over at me, his eyes taking in my wide, frozen gaze.Agent Rowland paused for a second, his expression unreadable. “Unfortunately, sir, we have a protocol to follow.”“Come here,” I
His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret Chapter 160
Orana’s Point of ViewThe drive home was quiet, the silence between us thick with everything we had yet to figure out. While we were in the car, he told me everything, and if I ever wanted to know something, I could just ask him.So I asked him about connections, but the biggest question I couldn’t bring myself to ask him.I knew if he ever killed someone, it was for a good reason now, but I couldn’t ask him.By the time Vaughn was getting on the highway, exhaustion took over, and I drifted into a deep sleep.Vaughn carried me to bed and tucked me in. The only way I knew he did was because I was mumbling something, and he kissed me while I drifted off to sleep as he tucked me in.When I woke up in the morning, I instinctively reached across the cold sheets for Vaughn, but his side of the bed was empty.My heart instantly skyrocketed. Panic seizing my chest, I scrambled out of bed, searching our bedroom and the walk-in closet. He wasn’t there.Did he leave again when he promised to ans
His Rejected Wife: The Billionaire’s Regret Chapter 159
Orana’s Point of ViewI stood in the chilly night air, looking at my husband, and for the first time, I could physically feel him drifting away from me, pulling back into the dark shadows to protect me from himself.“Vaughn,” I whispered, my voice breaking.“Let’s get you home,” he mumbled, taking a step toward me, but I instinctively took a step back, shaking my head.“Fuck, Vaughn. I’m tired,” I choked out, tears stinging my eyes. “Just fucking tell me what’s going on. Tell me why you didn’t tell me my brother knew, or what else there is to come.”“I can’t!” he whisper-yelled through gritted teeth, his jaw clenching as he fought to keep his composure.“Why not?”He closed the distance between us in two quick strides, taking me gently by the shoulders and steering us several feet away from Sean, James, and his security detail.“Because if I did, and things went to shit, you would be considered complicit,” he whispered, his eyes wide and burning with desperate intensity. “And I need y

Vaughn’s Point of View“What the fuck happened?” I roared, storming into the basement where we had been keeping my father-in-law.The cold concrete floor was empty, save for two of my most trusted men lying dead, their wide, unblinking eyes staring up at the low ceiling, one of them Paul. An icy rage ignited in my chest.I whirled around on my heel to block the entrance, trying to stop my wife from coming any further into the bloodstained room, but she shoved past my arm, her jaw set and body shivering. She had told me she wanted to know everything about my life, and I couldn’t hide the dark reality of my life from her anymore.“Did the cameras capture anything?” I demanded, turning to my lead security detail.Ray shook his head, his face pale in the dim fluorescent lighting. “The cameras went dark thirty seconds before the breach, boss. It was a clean, targeted hit.”I slowly turned my eyes toward James, and a heavy, silent moment passed between us. He didn’t need to say a word; he k

Orana’s point of view“Can you tell me why the hell we are not going to this meeting?” Edward asked, plopping down on the armchair in front of me.I glanced at him. His thick curls looked messy, yet the outfit he wore today made him look so handsome. I smiled at myself, then lowered my gaze back to

Orana’s point of viewSpending the day with Liorah was so nice. I had missed my little girl, and I didn’t think I would enjoy spending time with her like this.We moved through shops while she held my hand the whole time, her grip small but certain, as if she knew I wouldn’t let go.She laughed at

Orana’s point of viewSomething was off. I felt the way my head throbbed, but it also didn’t smell like berries; it smelled spicy and woody.The bed was too soft and too big. But I didn’t hear the sound I woke up to yesterday.Liorah.I sat up so fast, feeling lightheaded at the speed I woke up, my

Orana’s point of view“What?” he asked, his eyebrow raised.I repeat, as if he didn’t hear me the first time, “Is there something you’re keeping from me?”The thing is, I didn’t want to ask that. Not really. Because once I asked, I couldn’t pretend anymore. And I couldn’t risk my daughter. Not if t
