My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me Chapter 239
Brian’s POV The police station wasn’t far from my apartment. Ten minutes if you walked slow. Eight if you didn’t look back. I walked. Not because I wanted to savor it—but because it was the last time I’d move through this city without a record. Without eyes on my back. Without the weight of consequences finally pressing against my ribs. I’d spent months justifying what I did. Telling myself it wasn’t real crime. That it didn’t matter. That it was the only way to survive in a world ruled by men like Walter Blackwood. But all that time, I was just delaying the inevitable. Kaia had forced my hand. But it wasn’t fear that brought me here. It was Isabelle. The look in her eyes when I told her everything—steady, disappointed, but not cruel—made me realize something: She’d spent her life dragging herself out of places people like me helped dig. And I wasn’t going to be another reason she had to keep climbing. So I stepped through the glass doors, walked up to

Isabelle’s POV After the open day ended and the last of the parents cleared the courtyard, I sat alone in the front passenger seat of my car, keys idle in the ignition, staring at the school gate Nathan had just disappeared behind. He was inside now—safe, joyful, chatting away with his friends, his small hands still sticky from the science station where they’d made slime in little plastic tubs. He hadn’t let go of Damion’s hand for the better part of an hour. And Damion… he hadn’t let go either. There had been no tension in his face. No performance in his smile. Just a softness I didn’t know he still carried. A kind of quiet reverence, as though being near Nathan was something sacred. It was strange to see them together. Stranger still… to realize I wasn’t afraid. Not in that moment. ⸻ I drove home in silence, windows cracked just enough to let in the late afternoon breeze. It smelled like the last few days of spring—clean and warm, with something new in the air

Damion’s POV The message came just after noon. I was in my office, staring at a report I hadn’t read, half-listening to a board call I’d muted, when my phone buzzed. I almost didn’t check it. Lately, most messages were about damage control. Legal teams. Press clarifications. Residual fallout from Walter and Kaia’s collapse. But when I saw her name, everything around me went quiet. Nathan’s school has an open day this Saturday. You’re welcome to come… if you want. He knows who you are now. We’ll take it slow. Please be on time. I read it once. Then again. And again. My hand trembled as I set the phone down on the desk, heart pounding in a way it hadn’t in years. She told him. He knows. And she was letting me come. Not just as a visitor. But as his father. ⸻ For a long time, I couldn’t move. I just sat there, flooded by a hundred emotions I couldn’t name. Relief. Gratitude. Fear. Something close to awe. For months, maybe years, I didn’t dare

Brian’s POV It was just after midnight when I woke in a cold sweat. The apartment was silent. No wind. No traffic. No comfort. I sat up on the edge of the bed, elbows on my knees, staring at the floor like the answers might be hidden in the cracks between the planks. Kaia’s voice echoed in my mind, slithering in like smoke I couldn’t chase out: “Make sure he knows what I can still do from behind these walls.” I hadn’t told Isabelle everything. Not yet. Yes, I gave her the financial records—the paper trail, the forged signatures, the overseas transfers. But I hadn’t told her how long I’d worked for Walter. How deep I’d gone. How close I’d come to being the same kind of monster she fought so hard to bring down. Not because I wanted to lie. But because I wasn’t ready to lose her. I told myself I was protecting her. But the truth? I was protecting myself. ⸻ I got up and walked to the kitchen, flicking on the light. The apartment felt foreign now. As if it n

Kaia’s POV The air inside the prison was always dry. A recycled kind of dead—too clean, too sterile. It clung to your throat, clashed with memory, and stripped even the fiercest anger down to silence over time. But today, silence wasn’t an option. Not after he walked out. Brian. With that smug, righteous look on his face. As if telling the truth earned him a redemption arc. As if he hadn’t once been just as greedy, just as complicit. He thought walking away with clean hands now could erase the stains I knew he still wore under his shirt. It was laughable. Pitiful. And dangerous. Because Kaia Whitmore had never been made for a cage. And she wasn’t going to rot in one while the men who used her stories as stepping stones moved on like she was a page they had turned. ⸻ I paced the small, beige-walled cell, my arms crossed tightly over my chest. The other inmate across the hall watched me warily, pretending not to eavesdrop as I muttered to myself. They did

Isabelle’s POV I didn’t speak to Brian for the rest of the day. Not because I was angry. Not exactly. But because anger was too easy a word for the way my chest felt—tight, heavy, slow to rise and fall. Like every breath came with a question I wasn’t ready to answer. I spent most of the afternoon by the windows, curled into the corner of the couch with a book I didn’t read. My eyes flicked over the words, but my mind kept circling back to his voice. “Kaia knows something.” “I laundered money.” “I’m trying to be the man who finally puts it down.” The sentences played on repeat, no matter how many times I tried to replace them with silence. He had lied to me. Not just about the past. But about who he was while standing beside me through some of the hardest months of my life. While claiming to be different. Better. Safe. And now, that safety felt like a thread unraveling between my fingers. ⸻ It was late afternoon when Stephanie came by with updates on t
