Veronica’s POV

The apartment felt different after he left.

Not emptier. Just a little sharper, that's all.

Maybe like when the air had edges now.

I stood in the middle of the living room for a long time after the door closed behind him. I could still hear the faint echo of that decisive click. He always closed doors like that.

Afterwards, I sank slowly onto the couch.

Arrangement.

The word replayed in my mind.

Arrangement works because it’s practical.

I pressed my palm against my stomach with

  • I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire   Chapter 187

    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

    Four's POVThe security hub alarm screamed red, Interior breach, Someone was inside the house and all my defensive planning meant nothing because the enemy had already gotten past our walls."Location?" I shouted into my radio."East wing, Second floor, Moving toward the safe room,"My heart stopped, Veronica and Monte, I grabbed my weapon and ran, My wound tore open, Fresh blood soaked through my shirt, I did not care, Nothing mattered except reaching my family before Victoria did.The hallways felt endless, Each corner could hide her, each shadow could be death, I moved fast but carefully, Training overriding panic, Weapon raised, Finger on the trigger, Ready.I turned into the east wing corridor and she stepped out from a side room, Victoria Chen, Small, Thin, Holding a gun pointed directly at my chest, We stood fifteen feet apart, two people whose lives had been destroyed by the same man, two survivors of violence facing each other across an impossible divide."Stop," she said, He

    Manuel's POVI 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 command centre, I could see the entire battlefield from this room and that made all the difference.Victoria's team split into three groups, Smart tactics, Divide our attention, Force us to spread thin, But I had prepared for exactly this scenario, Multiple defensive layers, Overlapping fields of fire, Fallback positions already mapped."Team one, deploy smoke at the main gate, force them to advance blind,"Canisters launched, Thick white smoke filled the breach, I watched thermal imaging as the atta

    Veronica's POVI watched Four pace the hospital corridor like a caged animal and made my decision, We were done running, done hiding, done letting fear control our lives."Gather everyone," I said, "Beverly, Thomas, Margaret, Manuel, Everyone we care about, Bring them to one place,"Four stopped pacing, "Veronica, that is too dangerous, If Victoria's team breaks through, everyone dies,""And if we spread out, they pick us off one by one, That is what she wants, to divide us, to make us weak,"Manuel stepped forward, "Veronica is right, Scattered targets are easier to attack, One fortified location with concentrated defence gives us better odds,""Where?" Four asked."Your estate, it has the highest walls, the best security system, most defensible position,"Four looked at me, I saw fear in his eyes but also trust, "If we do this, we do it right, Full lockdown, Armed guards, Surveillance on every approach, no weak points,""Agreed,"We made calls, Beverly and Thomas arrived first, Beve

    Four's POVI stared at the bomb in my trunk and felt time slow down, Red digital numbers counted backward, Fifteen minutes, The device was small but sophisticated, Professional work, Victoria Chen was not playing games."Get out of the car," Rivera's voice crackled through my earpiece, "Move away now,"I slammed the trunk shut and ran, Got fifty feet before I stopped and looked back at the car, My hands were shaking, not from fear of the bomb, but from the realisation that Victoria had thought of everything, She knew I would try to help, Knew Rivera would equip me with surveillance gear, The bomb was a message, You cannot outsmart me.My phone rang, Victoria's voice was calm, "Did you find my gift?""You could have killed innocent people,""That would be wasteful, The bomb is on a closed street, No civilians, I am not a monster, Four, I am simpl

    Thomas's POVI stood behind the police barricade feeling more useless than I had ever felt in my entire life. My daughter was inside that warehouse with a madman who had already tried to kill her once. My grandson, barely two years old, was in the arms of that same monster. A
