Manuel's POV

I watched eight screens simultaneously and felt my decades of experience kick in, Victoria's team moved like professionals, Military trained, Coordinated, Dangerous, but I had fought worse and I had something they did not have, Home advantage.

"Hostiles at northeast corner," I said into my radio, "Team two, shift position and prepare for engagement,"

"Copy that,"

The estate surveillance system was state of the art, Every camera, every sensor, every motion detector fed into my comma

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 220: Forgiveness and Home

    Four's POVI went back to the cemetery alone the next morning. The sun was barely up, casting long shadows across the headstones. My breath came out in white puffs in the cold February air. I stood in front of my father's grave again, but this time felt different. Quieter somehow. Like the rage that had lived in my chest for decades was finally wearing itself out."I came back," I said to the stone. My voice sounded strange in the empty cemetery. "I said what I needed to say yesterday but I do not think I was done. I do not think forgiveness happens all at once. It is a process, like Dr Morrison keeps telling me."A bird called from somewhere in the trees. Life continues despite death. Despite trauma. Despite everything."I forgive you," I said clearly."Not because what you did was acceptable. It was not. You were a monster and I spent decades s

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 219

    Veronica's POVI watched Four follow Thomas into the study and felt my stomach drop. Something was wrong. Thomas looked like he was carrying a weight that had finally become too heavy. The door closed behind them and I was left in the kitchen with Beverly, who was staring at that closed door with worry written across her face."What is going on?" I asked quietly."I do not know," Beverly said, but her eyes said she suspected something. "Thomas has been distant the last few weeks. I thought it was just stress from the holidays."Inside the study, I imagined what conversation could be happening. What secret could Thomas be holding that required pulling Four aside during Christmas? My mind went to worst-case scenarios. Illness. Financial problems. Some threat we had not anticipated.Twenty minutes passed. The party continued in the living room with children laughing and adults talking. Normal holiday chaos that felt wrong when I knew something serious was happening behind that closed doo

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 218

    Four's POVI stared at my phone after Dominic Torres hung up. He had gotten my letter. He wanted to talk. My half-brother, the sibling I never knew existed, was real and willing to engage. The knowledge sat heavily in my chest."What did he say?" Veronica asked from where she stood in the kitchen doorway."He wants to meet. Next weekend if I can make it to Portland.""Are you going?""I have to," I said. "He deserves answers and I need to see if he is real. If this is not some elaborate scam or mistake."I flew to Portland the following Saturday. Alone because this felt like something I needed to do without distraction. Dominic had suggested meeting at a coffee shop near his house. Neutral territory. Public but quiet enough for a difficult conversation.I arrived fifteen minutes early and sat in my rental car t

    Chapter 217Veronica's POVThe film offered sat between us like a third person in our bedroom. Four had been pacing for twenty minutes while I sat on the bed watching him process. Our lives turned into entertainment. Our trauma was displayed for millions. The idea was overwhelming and terrifying and somehow inevitable."What do you think?" Four asked finally, stopping in front of me."I think it is your story to tell," I said carefully. "But it is also my story. And Monte's story. We all get a say in this.""The kids," Four said, sitting down heavily beside me. "How do we explain this to them?""Honestly and age-appropriately like we do everything else."We gathered the family that weekend for a discussion. Monte was ten now, tall and serious with Four's dark eyes. Sophia was eight, still fearless and opinionated. Manuel was eighteen mont

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 216

    Chapter 216Four's POVWriting the memoir was harder than I expected. I thought I had processed everything through therapy and time but putting it into words on a page opened wounds I did not know still existed. My childhood was under my father's fists. Watching my mother waste away. Learning to be cruel because cruelty was currency in that world.I hired a ghostwriter named Sarah Chen, a woman in her fifties who specialised in memoirs about trauma and recovery. She asked questions I did not want to answer. Pushed me to go deeper when I wanted to stay surface level. Made me sit with uncomfortable truths instead of glossing over them."Why did you stay in the organisation as long as you did?" she asked during one of our early sessions."Because I did not know there was another option.""But you did know. You saw how normal people lived. You understood that you

    Chapter 215Veronica's POVLife with three children was chaos in the best possible way. Our house was never quiet anymore. Someone was always crying or laughing or asking questions or needing something. The laundry multiplied like some kind of evil magic trick. I found Cheerios in places Cheerios should never be. Sleep became a distant memory again.But it was joyful chaos. The kind I had dreamed about during those dark years with Jason when I thought happiness was something that happened to other people.Monte took his role as big brother seriously. He helped with diaper changes even though he wrinkled his nose at the smell. He sang to Manuel when the baby cried. He read him board books with exaggerated voices that made Sophia giggle. At eight years old, Monte was already more nurturing than most adults I knew.Sophia was intensely curious about everything baby Manuel did. Why d
