My Ex, the Widowed Billionaire Chapter 129
The metal door creaked open, dragging a cold gust of stale, recycled air into the claustrophobic cell. The flickering light overhead cast fractured shadows on the concrete walls—walls that had witnessed too many broken souls. My heart hammered in my chest the moment I saw who stepped inside.Callum.His clothes were tattered and dirt-streaked, his hair unkempt from months of neglect. Yet his eyes—those stormy, familiar eyes—were the same, burning with fierce determination, and somehow softer now, vulnerable beneath the hardness he wore like armor.For a moment, I just stared, my breath catching in my throat. This man had been my world, then my torment, then... this. Here he was again, a fragile thread of hope in a hopeless place.“Hey,” he said quietly, his voice cracked but steady.I swallowed, managing only a whisper. “Hey.”He took a slow step forward, careful not to jostle the iron bars between us. “I thought I’d lost you.”“You didn’t,” I said, my fingers reaching out to the cold

The stars outside the shuttle never blinked, never changed. But everything inside me was in constant motion—colliding, unraveling, reforming.I hadn’t slept.Not after what Callum said.Don’t let us end like this.It wasn’t just a line. It was a plea. And the worst part? A part of me wanted to say yes. Wanted to throw logic to the wind and fall back into him because he still felt like home.But home doesn’t betray you. Home doesn’t break.I sat in the dark cockpit, curled into the pilot’s chair as a cold drink in my hand turned warm. The silence was suffocating.Until I heard the door hiss open.Callum stepped in slowly, quietly. He didn’t expect me to be awake.He looked like hell—like he hadn’t slept either.“You’re up,” he said.“So are you.”He nodded and moved beside me, settling into the co-pilot seat. For a while, we didn’t say anything. Just watched the stars.Then, softly, “You remember our last mission before all of this? Before the rebellion?”I knew what he meant. The Terr

The mission came faster than we expected.The Dominion had retreated—but not for long. Recon picked up encrypted transmissions from the Ashen Ring, a black-market trading hub orbiting one of the shattered moons. According to intel, Rael’s second-in-command was negotiating to trade a stolen vault shard for bio-weapons.If the shard made it off-world, the Dominion would have enough intel to recreate the vault’s inner defense systems—possibly the seed’s pattern, too.And I… I was the only one who could go in undetected. My face wasn’t in Dominion archives. I’d never been to the Ashen Ring.But I wouldn’t be going alone.Callum stood beside me in the command chamber, clad in sleek civilian gear. His hair was pushed back, and his eyes—haunted but steady—met mine without flinching.“Undercover pair,” Elias said, dropping two forged IDs on the table. “You’ll go in as arms dealers. Partners from Vega Line. Stay close, blend in, make the exchange. Get the shard. Don’t get killed.”I barely bli

I woke in the infirmary with the sterile scent of antiseptic burning my nose and the sound of mechanical beeping keeping time with my heartbeat.And the first thing I saw—Was him.Callum sat in the corner, his jacket stained, eyes hollow, face streaked with dried blood. He looked like a man who hadn’t slept. Who didn’t deserve rest.We stared at each other.Not a word between us.Not yet.I sat up slowly. Pain flared down my spine, a sharp reminder that I’d nearly died. My throat was dry. My limbs trembled. But I was alive.Because of the seed. Not because of him.“I told you I’d follow,” I rasped.He rose immediately, grabbed water, held it out—but didn’t dare move closer.I took it without touching his fingers.“I thought I lost you,” he said, voice raw.“You did.”He flinched.I drank in silence. My body ached in ways I couldn’t define. But the wound inside—that was still bleeding.He didn’t leave.He just stood there, waiting, hoping, like a man begging for a second chance withou

The silence between us was thicker than the mist outside the Solace.Callum hadn’t spoken a word since we returned from the ruins. He avoided my gaze during debrief. He barely looked at me when Kira pulled me aside to whisper something that shattered the ground under my feet.I stood now in the hallway just outside his quarters, my fists clenched.“Tell me she’s lying,” I said.Callum froze at the sound of my voice. His hand rested on the door panel, muscles tight, like he’d been preparing to disappear before I could find him.“Athena—”I stepped forward. “Tell me Kira’s lying.”His jaw tensed. “It’s not what you think.”A cold laugh escaped me. “That’s not an answer.”He faced me fully then, and the look in his eyes nearly broke me—because it wasn’t guilt or denial.It was regret.Real, honest regret.“How long?” I asked, voice hoarse.He looked away. “Before you and I... before the seed, before the vault-world. It was months ago. A mistake. I never meant—”“Was it with someone on th

The vault-world shimmered on the horizon like a mirage.It had no name, just coordinates carved into the seed’s code. A drifting planet wrapped in silver mist, orbiting a dying star that pulsed like a fading heart. From orbit, it looked like memory given shape—a forgotten world caught between time and ruin.The Remnants called it Nixara. A sanctuary. A tomb. A truth no one was meant to unearth.We landed the Solace in a clearing surrounded by obsidian trees. Strange blossoms opened beneath the shadow of our ship, glowing faintly at our steps like they recognized us.No one spoke as we exited. No one had to.The seed was leading me now, its pulse synced with the rhythm of the planet. Like I belonged here. Like I’d been here before.And yet... all I wanted was to run.“Commander,” Elias said quietly, “we’ve scanned the perimeter. No hostiles. But... this place isn’t empty. It feels watched.”Callum’s hand brushed my shoulder. I didn’t flinch this time.“I’ll go with you,” he said.“I kn
