Veronica’s POV..

The call came at 11:46 pm. I was just rinsing a wine glass I hadn't drunk from when it rang.

I almost ignored it because unknown numbers had become background noise in my life. A lot of stylists, investors, and reporters with their opinions.

But something about the timing made me hesitate.

Four had left less than an hour ago, saying he needed air. The apartment has felt too quiet since.

I answered. “Hello?”

A woman's voice responded. Smooth and composed not the frantic tone I w

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 203

    Four's POVI broke down completely. The whiskey glass slipped from my hand and shattered on Manuel's hardwood floor but I barely heard it. I doubled over in the chair, sobbing like a child, unable to control the grief pouring out of me. Manuel was dying. The only father I had ever truly known was dying and there was nothing I could do to stop it.Manuel moved from his chair and knelt beside me despite the pain it clearly caused him. He put his hand on my shoulder, steady and warm, the same gesture he had made a thousand times before when I needed grounding."I am sorry," Manuel said quietly. "I know this is hard. But I need you to listen to me now."I tried to pull myself together but the tears would not stop. Manuel waited patiently until I could breathe again, until I could look at him through blurred vision."I am refusing aggressive treatment," Man

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 202

    Four's POVThey wheeled Sophia away at 2:47 in the morning. I memorised the exact time because I needed something concrete to hold onto. Dr Walsh walked beside the gurney, her hand resting protectively on the plastic incubator. Veronica tried to follow but a nurse gently stopped her. We were not allowed in the operating room. We could only wait.The surgical waiting room was empty at this hour. Fluorescent lights hummed overhead, too bright and too cold. Plastic chairs lined the walls in neat rows. A television mounted in the corner played silent news. Veronica sat down heavily, her c-section incision clearly painful though she would not admit it. I sat beside her and took her hand.We did not speak. There were no words adequate for this moment. Our four-pound daughter was having open-heart surgery. Surgeons would stop her heart, repair the hole, and restart it. She might not survive. The odds

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 201

    Veronica's POVFour stopped eating. I watched him disappear into himself over the following days, his eyes hollow and distant. He sat in the nursery we had painted together, staring at the empty crib like it was a grave. The lavender walls that had seemed so hopeful now felt like a mockery. Every baby item we had carefully chosen felt like a promise we might not be able to keep."This is my fault," he said one night.His voice was flat, dead. "I am cursed. Everything I touch gets damaged. My father damaged me and now I am damaging my daughter before she is even born."The words cut through me like glass. I wanted to argue, to tell him he was wrong, but I knew logic would not reach him right now. Fear had wrapped around his heart like a vice and he could not see past it. So instead I knelt in front of him, taking his cold hands in mine, forcing him to look at me.

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 200

    Four's POVMarcus Reynolds cried for twenty minutes straight. Dr Chen sat quietly, letting the grief pour out of him. I watched this broken man sobbing across from me and understood something fundamental. We were both victims of my father. Different kinds of victims but victims nonetheless.When Marcus finally caught his breath, he looked at me with raw vulnerability. "I have spent twenty-eight years hating. Hating your father. Hating you. Hating myself for not saving my dad somehow. The hate ate everything. My marriage. My relationship with my kids. My entire life became about this one horrible thing.""I understand that," I said quietly. "My father made me into someone I hated. I spent years trying to escape what he made me.""Tell me about him," Marcus said suddenly. "Your father. What was he really like?"So I told him. Not the sanitised version but the truth. I

    Four's POVThe lawyer's office smelled like old paper and secrets. I sat between Veronica and Elena, staring at the small recording device on the table. Marcus, my attorney, stood by the window. Elena's lawyer sat across from us. Nobody spoke. We all knew what was coming."Are you ready?" the lawyer asked.I was not ready. I would never be ready. But I nodded anyway.He pressed play.My father's voice filled the room and I stopped breathing. I had not heard that voice in years but my body remembered it instantly. Every muscle tensed. My hands curled into fists. Veronica grabbed my arm, anchoring me."This is the confession of Antonio Lasombra," my father's voice said. Calm. Measured. Like he was discussing stock portfolios instead of murder. "I am recording this because I want the truth known after my death. Not for redemption. I d

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 198

    Veronica's POVFour stopped sleeping. I watched him deteriorate over three days, pacing the house at night, jumping at shadows, refusing to talk about the nightmare that woke him screaming. He looked haunted in a way I had not seen since the early days after we first met. This was different though. Deeper. Older.On the fourth morning, I found him in Monte's room at dawn, just watching our son sleep. His face was wet with tears."Four," I said softly.He turned to me and I saw real fear in his eyes. Not the controlled vigilance he usually carried but raw terror."I think I remember," he whispered. "I think Elena was right. I think I watched my father kill someone and I buried it so deep I convinced myself it was a nightmare."I crossed the room and took his hands. They were ice cold."We need to call Dr Morrison," I said.

    Veronica's POV.The room had finally settled. The chaos of birth, of machines, of nurses rushing and clinking metal, had faded to a quieter hum. But quiet didn’t mean peace. My body still shook with residual adrenaline, exhaustion, and the raw edges of everything I’d been through. My son rested a

    Jason.They denied me.Not with force. Not with confrontation or with raised voices, no security escorts, no spectacle that would justify anger. Just a nurse with a polite smile and an administrator who spoke in that carefully neutral tone institutions use when they want refusal to sound reasonable
