I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire Chapter 191
Four's POVI had seven days to find a ghost or watch my family die. The weight of that deadline pressed against my chest every second. Every breath felt borrowed. Every heartbeat counted down to nothing.Manuel spread files across my dining room table at midnight. Rivera brought federal contacts who owed him favours. We worked in careful silence because one wrong move would trigger the cartel's threat. They said no federal involvement beyond Rivera. That meant we walked a razor's edge between cooperation and betrayal."Yates has been moving every seventy-two hours," Manuel said. "Prague. Vienna. Athens. Always cities with strong privacy laws. Always cash transactions. No credit cards. No bank accounts under any name we know.""He is smart," Rivera added. "Too smart. He has done this before.""Then how do we find him?"Manuel pulled up a laptop screen. "He has a weakness. Ego. Look at these."Anonymous messages filled the screen. Sent to my personal email over the last month. Taunting.

Manuel's POVI spent three days tracking down which organisations Yates had stolen from and each name I uncovered made my stomach turn. Arms dealers. Human traffickers. Money launderers for terrorist cells. But the name that made my blood run cold was the last one. Sinaloa Cartel. One of the most brutal drug trafficking organisations in the world. Yates had laundered over forty million dollars for them over a decade and skimmed nearly eight million in the process."Dios mio," I whispered. "He stole from Sinaloa."My contacts in the underworld confirmed what I feared. The cartel had already sent a recovery team. Not to arrest Yates. Not to sue him. To torture him until he revealed every account number and password. Then kill him. Then kill everyone who might know where the money went. Standard cartel protocol. No witnesses. No loose ends.Four's family was on that list.I drove to their suburban house faster than I should have. Ran up the steps. Pounded on the door. Veronica answered w

Veronica's POVI watched Four crumble under the weight of Yates' attacks and something inside me snapped. Not anger. Not fear. Just cold determination. I had survived Jason's abuse by fighting back. I had built a new life by refusing to be a victim. I would not watch the man I loved be destroyed by ghosts and criminals and cowards who hid in shadows."I am not going to let this happen," I said.Four looked up from the legal documents. His eyes were hollow. "We do not have a choice. Yates has unlimited resources. Time. Patience. We have nothing.""We have the truth. We have evidence. We have each other. That is nothing.""The truth does not matter when the lies are legally filed. These lawsuits are real. The Swiss arrest warrant is real. Fighting them will bankrupt us faster than losing them.""Then we do not fight them. We destroy Yates instead."Rivera leaned forward. "What are you thinking?""Yates has been hiding for twelve years. Living under a fake identity. Stealing money. Filin

Four's POVThe accountant finished his presentation and I wanted to vomit. Numbers on a screen. Cold facts that destroyed everything I thought I had built. My consulting firm was barely breaking even. The estate was mortgaged three times over for security costs. Legal fees from the immunity deal had consumed my liquid assets. Medical bills from the attacks kept piling up. And Yates had been systematically draining what remained for over a decade."So what do I actually have left?""The consulting firm if you can keep it afloat. Some personal assets. The cars. Jewelry. Art. But combined that is maybe two million in liquidation value. Against debts of nearly five million.""I am bankrupt.""Not officially. But functionally, yes. Without immediate capital infusion, you will lose everything within six months."I sat in my damaged library and tried to process it. Three years ago I was worth over fifty million. Now I was drowning in debt. Yates had won without firing a single shot. He had d

Detective Rivera's POVI read Victoria's letter three times before the words fully sank in. The accountant. Someone who knew every dirty secret of Four's father's empire. Someone patient enough to wait years for revenge. Someone dangerous enough to terrify Marcus Chen."We need to find this person. Now."My team assembled in Four's damaged library. Forensic accountants. Federal agents. Tech specialists. Everyone who could help us track a ghost."Start with Four's father's financial records. Everything from the last thirty years."Agent Mills looked up from her laptop. "Most of those records are encrypted. Password protected. We will need weeks to crack them.""We do not have weeks. This accountant is already moving. Already planning. We need answers today."Four stood by the window. Silent. Exhausted. Veronica sat beside Monte on the couch. The boy was finally asleep after the trauma of the siege. Margaret hovered nearby with tea nobody was drinking.I pulled Four aside. "Tell me abou

Veronica's POV Marcus Chen stood at the top of the stairs and my breath caught in my throat. Four's board member. The man who had access to everything. Every meeting. Every decision. Every vulnerability. He had been inside our defences the entire time.Victoria's gun hand trembled. "Uncle Marcus. What are you doing here?""Cleaning up your mess. Like always." His voice was cold. Professional. Nothing like the warm businessman I had met at company events. "You were supposed to kill him. Not having a therapy session.""I cannot do it. I cannot kill him.""Of course you cannot. You are weak. Just like your father."Victoria flinched like she had been struck. Four stepped forward but Marcus raised his own weapon. Pointed it directly at Four's chest."Stay where you are. All of you."The police sirens were closer now. Footsteps pounding up the driveway. Marcus heard them too but his expression never changed."You have thirty seconds, Victoria. Kill him or I will.""No. I am done. This end

Veronica’s POV. Claude froze.Not dramatically, not like someone caught in a lie. No.It was worse than that.His smile slipped slowly, like it had been peeled off his face instead of removed.His shoulders stiffened, his hands tightened around the wooden spoon he'd been stirring with.For a momen

Veronica's POV.“Four?” Silence echoed through the hallway first, a shadow danced through the walls faintly, fear ran down my spine, I froze.“Four… is that you?” The words trembled from my lips.“Yes.” His answer came a little later. His Shadow shifted, walking in my direction. Footsteps echoed l

Veronica's POV “Am I… interrupting something?”Both men froze. Four realised just how tightly his hands were wrapped around the stranger's waist.His eyes flickered to me and then back.“Oh shit!”The stranger, a wounded man that barely looked like he could take a breath on his own without assista

Veronica's POV.The phone beeped twice when I walked into the room. I barely sat on my bed when I checked the notification.‘Father: I'm sorry if I scared you away, Vee but whatever happens, I don't want you staying with a stripper. Please come home.’I read the end of the text when another flashe
