My Billionaire Husband is Addicted to Me 123
[Olivia’s pov]My hands trembled as I pulled up Elara’s contact. Would she answer? Was she surrounded by lawyers? Security? Chaos? I pressed the call anyway. I had to talk to her because she was the one who had ever understood me. Now it was my time and my place to help her through this.It rang once.Twice.“Olivia.” Relief hit so hard my eyes immediately burned.“Elara.” My voice came out shakier than I intended. “Are you okay? I just heard the news.”There was a brief pause. Then a soft exhale. “Yes.” Her voice sounded tired. But steady. Stronger than I’d ever heard it.I swallowed hard. “Are you sure?”A faint warmth entered her tone. “I’m certain.”I closed my eyes briefly. Behind me, the television continued replaying clips of the announcement.Nina quietly lowered the volume and moved to give me space. I clutched the phone tighter. “Elara…”Emotion clogged my throat.“I just saw everything. I don’t know where to start and what even to say to you. I am certain it is a tragedy

[Olivia’s pov]I was halfway through my second attempt at pretending to read the same page of a book when Nina burst into my room carrying enough snacks to feed a small army.Again.This woman wouldn’t leave me alone.At this point, I was beginning to suspect she believed emotional distress could be solved through excessive carbohydrates.Honestly, she might not have been entirely wrong. “Emergency provisions, girl!” she announced dramatically as she nudged the door shut with her hip.Balanced in her arms was an enormous tray overloaded with popcorn, chocolate-covered strawberries, chips, fruit slices, cookies, and two steaming mugs that smelled suspiciously like expensive hot chocolate.I blinked.“Nina. What the fuck!”She set the tray down on the coffee table near the sitting area with exaggerated care. “What?” She chirped happily as Nina nearly shouted at me.“This is enough food for six people.” I yelled back at her while glancing at the whole food.She gasped in mock offense. “

[Carter’s pov]Something dangerously close to triumph. Sahl thought he’d broken her. Instead, he’d awakened her. I couldn’t stop the small smile that tugged at my mouth.She noticed.And for the first time tonight, the faintest trace of her old warmth flickered through her expression. “You thought I’d fall apart?”I exhaled a quiet laugh. “For a minute.”One elegant brow lifted. “Oh, please.”There she was.Still wounded.Still shaken.But unmistakably herself.Emotion swelled painfully in my chest. Before I could stop myself, I leaned down and kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes briefly.Then rested her hand against my cheek. “Thank you, son.”The words stunned me. “For what?”“For telling me.” Her voice softened. “Even when it hurt.” A lump rose hard in my throat.I nodded once.Unable to trust my voice.Then I stepped back and pulled out my phone. As I dialed the lawyer’s private number, my mother moved toward the window, staring out into the dark gardens beyond.Her posture w

[Carter’s pov]For several unbearable seconds, my mother didn’t move. She didn’t blink, didn’t speak. She just sat there, her body rigid against the velvet sofa. Her gaze fixed somewhere far beyond the room as though her mind had retreated to some unreachable place where this truth couldn’t touch her.The silence gnawed at me.This wasn’t my mother.Elara Velcro had always been composed. Controlled. Graceful under pressure in ways most people could never understand.Even in pain, she carried herself with impossible dignity. Seeing her like this shattered me, she was vacant of any emotion.Broken open by a betrayal decades in the making, it made something primal and vicious claw through my chest. I couldn’t bear it. “Mom.” My voice cracked.Nothing.I reached for her shoulders carefully. Still no reaction. Panic began to rise, sharp and immediate. “Mom, look at me.”Her eyes remained fixed ahead. My pulse kicked harder. I tightened my grip and gave her a gentle shake, then another, ha

[Carter’s pov]“Sahl knows how to deal with such things. If Camilla is worrying you, just tell him.”My stomach dropped. The casual faith in her voice hit harder than anything else could have. She squeezed my hand. “You should call him.”I closed my eyes.For a moment, I genuinely couldn’t breathe. The cruelty of this was unbearable. Even now, even after all these years, she still believed in him.Still trusted him.Still thought he was the man who would protect us.My throat tightened violently. “Mom–no.” I lowered my head. A sharp, involuntary sniff escaped me. Her hand immediately moved into my hair, comforting and soothing.The way she used to when I was a child and nightmares sent me stumbling into her room at midnight. The tenderness shattered whatever control I had left.I gripped her hand tighter. “Mom, please. Listen to me.” I nearly bit my lips as I forced the words out. “Dad isn’t coming back and I would not even let him come near us.”Silence.Her fingers stilled. Slowly,

[Carter’s pov]I found my mother in the lounge exactly where I’d expected her to be. I had brought her here to my other estate but somewhere deep down it had caused plenty of questions in her mind.Her life was also turned upside down.Her husband was actually cheating on her.My mother had no idea about it.She was sitting perfectly upright on the cream velvet sofa. Her hands folded neatly in her lap, looking as composed as if we’d simply arrived early for afternoon tea.Instead of fleeing one estate for another under circumstances that made my stomach churn. The lounge of this house was quieter than the manor. I had it done for our vacation with my child.The one Olivia aborted.And I still could not bring myself to forgive Camilla for it. She was the reason Olivia misunderstood everything. Deep down I blamed myself equally for letting it happen.But now was the time to fix things.The first thing I had to do now was talk to my mother. The walls were lined with pale oak paneling, t

[Carter’s pov]The restaurant door closed behind Olivia with a dull thud. But the sound echoed inside my head like a gunshot. I felt it as if my heart had stopped pounding. My soul died at that moment.For several seconds, I didn’t move.I even forgot to breathe. Didn’t even blink.My eyes remaine

[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
