[Carter’s pov]

The moment I saw Camilla raise her hand, something inside me snapped. There was no thought. No pause. Just instinct.

One second she was lunging toward Olivia, fury twisting her face into something sharp and ugly. Next, I was already moving.

My hand shot out and caught her wrist midair with enough force to stop her completely.

Her skin was cold.

Tense.

But mine was worse.

Because rage unlike anything I had ever known surged through me so violently that for a second, I could barely

  • My Billionaire Husband is Addicted to Me   105

    [Olivia’s pov]The sharp echo of Camilla’s heels lingered long after she stormed out of the room.Even after the door slammed behind her with enough force to make the walls tremble, I remained frozen where I stood.My pulse was still racing.My chest was rising and falling too fast.The threat she had thrown over her shoulder before leaving replayed in my head like an ugly refrain.You’ll pay for this humiliation, Olivia.The venom in her voice had been unmistakable. And yet…what stayed with me more than her threat was what had happened just before it.But Carter?The way he had stepped in front of me. The way his body had instinctively shielded mine. The way his voice had hardened when he warned her to stay away from me.For so long, there had always been hesitation where Camilla was concerned.A line he refused to cross.A softness born out of obligation, guilt, and years of believing Candice tied them together.But today?That hesitation had vanished.And standing there, watching h

    [Carter’s pov]The moment I saw Camilla raise her hand, something inside me snapped. There was no thought. No pause. Just instinct.One second she was lunging toward Olivia, fury twisting her face into something sharp and ugly. Next, I was already moving.My hand shot out and caught her wrist midair with enough force to stop her completely.Her skin was cold.Tense.But mine was worse.Because rage unlike anything I had ever known surged through me so violently that for a second, I could barely hear anything over the rush of blood pounding in my ears.“How dare you?” The words came out low. Deadly.Camilla’s eyes widened as she looked up at me. “Carter—” I didn’t let her finish. I shoved her backward. Not hard enough to hurt her.But hard enough to force distance between us.Enough distance to make damn sure she couldn’t get anywhere near Olivia. Because that was all I could think about now.Olivia. My wife.Pregnant.Carrying our child.The thought struck through me again with sudden

    [Olivia’s pov]For the first time since I had walked into that room, I saw it clearly. Not perfect, not complete but enough for Carter to stand on his own feet again.He nodded slowly after I spoke, like each word had settled somewhere deep inside him, reshaping something that had been fractured moments ago.“Yeah,” he said quietly. “You’re right.” His voice wasn’t as unsteady anymore. Still heavy. Still burdened.But steadier.He looked at me then, really looked at me and something softer replaced the storm in his eyes. “Thank you, Olivia.” he added.Simple.But it carried weight.I gave him a small smile. “You don’t have to thank me.”“I do,” he said, his tone firmer now. “You didn’t have to stand here and help me sort through this. I know I have cleared things up but somewhere deep down I still feel guilty about all of it.”I held his gaze.“I wasn’t going to leave you alone in it, Carter. Especially when I came to know about the truth.”Something flickered across his expression, s

    [Carter’s pov]The moment settled but it didn’t last.It couldn’t.Because no matter how tightly I held onto her, no matter how much I wanted to stay in that one quiet space where everything felt almost… right. The reality was still waiting. And it wasn’t going anywhere.I stayed on my knees a second longer than necessary, her hands still in mine, my forehead almost brushing against them as I tried to steady my thoughts.But they didn’t settle.They shifted and sharpened, more focused. Because now I know. Not everything but enough. Enough to understand that what I had walked into wasn’t just a mistake.It was a lie.A calculated one.Six years in the making.My jaw tightened. Slowly, I let go of her hands and pushed myself up, the weight in my chest returning the moment I stood.I ran a hand through my hair, pacing once across the room before stopping near the window.“I have to deal with them,” I said. My voice sounded different now. Colder. More controlled.But underneath there was

    [Carter’s pov]For a second, I thought I had misheard her.The room had already been spinning. Too many truths colliding, too many fractures in things I thought were solid and then she said that.She wouldn’t mind another child. The words didn’t land all at once. They echoed.Slow.Heavy.And then something in my chest locked.I still went.Completely still.My hand was still in hers, resting where she had placed it, but I couldn’t feel anything else—not the room, not the air, not even my own breath.“What…?” My voice came out rougher than I expected. “What did you say?”She didn’t pull away.Didn’t hesitate.She just looked at me—steady, calm in a way that felt almost unreal compared to the storm inside me.“I’m pregnant,” she said.Just like that. No buildup. No hesitation. The world shifted. Not violently. Not like before.This was something else. Something quieter. But deeper. My fingers tensed under hers, my gaze dropping instinctively to where our hands rested.To her.To the pl

    [Olivia’s pov]For a moment after he spoke, I didn’t move.Not because I didn’t understand.But because I did.Too well.The way his voice had dropped. The hesitation. The fragments of truth he wasn’t fully saying—but I could feel sitting just beneath the surface.Something had broken.And whatever it was, it had shaken him in a way I had never seen before.I stepped closer.Slowly.Carefully.Like approaching something fragile.“Carter…” I said softly.He looked at me, but his eyes weren’t steady. They carried too much—confusion, anger, disbelief—like he was still trying to sort through everything at once and failing.I reached for him.This time, not just to hold him—but to ground him.“No matter what it is,” I said quietly, “no matter what you’ve found out…”My fingers tightened slightly around his.“I’m with you.”The words felt simple.But they weren’t.They were a promise.His jaw clenched faintly, like he was holding something back.I didn’t rush him.Instead, I guided him gently tow

    [Carter’s pov]A cold wave of dread crawled down my spine. I felt like my head was spinning. The restaurant noises faded into the background. For a moment, all I could hear was my own heartbeat.Six years ago.I stared at her. “You wouldn’t.” My shallow voice warned her. Despite how many times I tr

    [Olivia’s pov]I was taken aback by the way they ridiculed me. All of this was Carter’s fault. Nobody knew who his real wife was.For a moment, I couldn’t speak.The cruelty in her words struck deeper than I expected. My fingers curled into fists at my sides as heat rushed to my face.Was this how

    [Olivia’s pov]I didn’t realize where Carter was taking me until the car slowed in front of a familiar building. My breath caught in my throat.He remembered it.It was my favorite restaurant.For a moment I simply stared at it, unable to hide my surprise.Carter turned off the engine and stepped

    [Olivia’s pov]The tension between Carter and Ronan still hung thick in the corridor. “She is Mrs Carter Velcro.” I heard him repeating as if Carter was trying to reassure himself. I was his wife. Not Camilla. Carter tightened his grip around my hand. I glanced at him with mild confusion and a gr
