My Billionaire Husband Doesn’t Love Me Chapter 233
Isabelle’s POV There was something rare about mornings like this—quiet, unhurried, and filled with the kind of stillness that felt borrowed from another life. Nathan was already dressed, his tiny backpack zipped and slung over one shoulder. He stood at the kitchen counter munching on apple slices while I poured his juice. The sun streamed through the windows, soft gold on the tile, wrapping everything in a kind of gentle warmth I hadn’t felt in years. For once, it didn’t feel like I was chasing time. For once, I didn’t feel like I was defending my life. I just… existed. And that, somehow, felt like the greatest gift of all. ⸻ “You excited for the aquarium?” I asked, handing him his juice cup. He nodded enthusiastically. “Miss Emma says we get to touch stingrays. But only with two fingers.” I smiled, crouching beside him. “Just two, huh? Not three?” He gave me a look—half serious, half cheeky. “Three is chaos, Mommy.” I laughed, ruffling his hair. “Noted.” A

Brian’s POV I didn’t go straight home after leaving the prison. I drove. No destination. No map. Just the hum of the engine and the weight of Kaia’s voice echoing in my head. “Get me out… or I ruin everything you’ve worked for.” My knuckles tightened around the steering wheel as the sky outside shifted from pale afternoon to slow-burning dusk. Red light bled across the windshield like a warning, and still, I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. Because if I went home… I might have to face Isabelle. And I wasn’t ready to look her in the eye. Not yet. Maybe not ever. ⸻ I pulled into an empty overlook just outside the city, killing the engine and sitting in silence. The skyline glittered below—familiar, beautiful, and utterly indifferent. Kaia knew. Of course she did. She’d always been dangerous. Ruthless in the way only someone who had nothing left to lose could be. I should’ve known she’d dig something up eventually. I just didn’t expect her to find… that. The C

Kaia’s POV The lights in the visitation room buzzed overhead—faint, relentless, like flies swarming the inside of my skull. The table was cold. My wrists were colder. The handcuffs didn’t bite anymore. They just reminded me of what I used to hold—power, wealth, control—and how fast it all evaporated. The guard told me I had a visitor. I didn’t expect him. Not him. Brian Winterfield. He strolled in like he owned the damn prison—pressed blazer, smug smile, and that air of quiet arrogance that always irritated me. He looked like he belonged in a boardroom, not in a place like this. Maybe that’s why I despised him more than anyone. He got away with everything. While I sat behind bulletproof glass and steel bars, he was out there breathing in freedom. Probably still playing protector to Isabelle like some knight in tarnished armor. “Look what the wind dragged in,” I muttered, leaning back in the chair as he took the seat across from me. “No wind,” he said, eyes glin

Isabelle’s POV There was something surreal about sitting across from Damion again. Not in a courtroom. Not in a hallway filled with tension. Not even at a gala where we played polite for the crowd. Just us. A table between us, a half-filled glass of sparkling water in front of me, and years of silence pressing on both our shoulders. He didn’t fidget. Didn’t lean in, or try to fill the space with grand apologies or careless charm. He just waited. Like he’d finally learned that presence, not performance, was what mattered. And maybe that’s what kept me in the seat. Because the man across from me wasn’t the one who handed me divorce papers and walked away. He was older now. A little more hollow around the eyes. A little slower in his movements. But steadier. Not broken. But changed. ⸻ “I thought I hated you,” I said softly. He looked up, his eyes meeting mine instantly. “I wouldn’t have blamed you.” “I still might,” I added, not to hurt him, but beca

Isabelle’s POV The message sat on my phone all night. Unread by anyone else. Unanswered by me. Just… waiting. I saw it every time I walked by the kitchen counter. Every time I picked up my phone to check the time. Every time I reached for a podcast or playlist or anything that would keep me from hearing the echo of his words in my mind. Just dinner. Just time. Just us. It was the “just us” that rattled me. Because “us” was never simple. “Us” was pages of court filings. A name I had to reclaim. A boy I had to raise alone. A fire I had to walk through barefoot. And now he wanted to pull up a chair and call it dinner? ⸻ Still, I didn’t delete the message. I didn’t block him. I didn’t say no. Because beneath the ache and memory, there was still something raw inside me. Something open. Not because I trusted him. But because a part of me still wanted to. ⸻ The next day moved slowly. I kept busy—work calls, meetings, a quiet lunch with Stephanie. But e

Isabelle’s POV The sky was a soft gray when the news broke. Muted clouds hung low over the city like a whisper. The rain hadn’t started yet, but the air smelled like it would. I stood barefoot in my living room, wrapped in a robe, coffee cooling in my hands. The television was on, but the volume was low. I didn’t need the anchors’ voices. I could read the scrolling headlines at the bottom of the screen. “BREAKING: Walter Blackwood Sentenced to 30 Years in Federal Prison. Kaia Whitmore to Serve 24 Years Without Parole.” I blinked once. Slowly. No smile curved my lips. No breath of triumph escaped my chest. Instead, I felt something else. Stillness. Not peace. Not quite. But a kind of silence that didn’t scream anymore. The war was over. ⸻ Stephanie arrived a few minutes later. She didn’t speak right away. Just handed me a small, folded piece of paper. It was a printout—someone from the legal team had emailed her the courtroom statement made by the judge.
