Natasha's POV

"Why did you end the call like that?" Florida's voice cut through the room, sharp and trembling as I dropped the call.

Her hands flew up, palms open in disbelief as she stared at me like I'd just ruined her last hope or maybe her last chance to freedom.

That would best describe her predicament, honestly.

I set the phone down with a soft clack against the desk. "What?" My tone came flat, clipped. "You expect me to sit there and continue to play happy family with him?"

Florida's brows pulled tighter, her chest rising and falling, as she gave me a pointed glare. "We haven't gotten what we wanted!" She shot back, stepping closer. Her voice was a pitch higher than normal with an edge laced with panic. "You could have tried harder!"

"Try harder?" My head snapped towards her, the corner of my mouth twitching. "For what?"

Her chin lifted like she was ready for a fight, but I took a step forward first. "It's not like this has anything to do with me," I said, my voice low

  • My Husband Made Me A Criminal    Chapter 80

    Natasha's POV"And this one is my favorite," Rose said, lining the shells up carefully as we waited for our meals to be served. "See the pink inside?"I hummed, taking note of the shell she pushed forward "It looks like cotton candy," I said. "Soft but strong."Rose grinned happily, her eyes brightened up at my encouragement. "Exactly! That's why it's special.""You're giving these shells personalities now?" Spencer chuckled beside me, his hand resting on my thighs under the table. "They deserve it," she said seriously. "They survived the ocean."I reached out, brushing sand off the table. "Just like you survived carrying them all day."She puffed her chest. "I'm a very responsible shell mom!"A shadow fell on our table and I looked up.Lilith stood there like she'd taken a wrong turn into our life. Her hair was dull, pulled back badly. Her dress hung on her like she'd slept in it. Somehow seeing her like this reminded of Florida. And that alone sent a wave of bad premonition throug

    Spencer's POV"I love the smell of the ocean," Natasha said, as she took in a deep breath, her shoulders relaxing. "Yeah, it's really relaxing." I echoed. The ocean didn't care who we were.That was the first thing that hit me when we stepped onto the balcony of the villa—how indifferent the blue stretch of water was to headlines, to numbers, to names. It moved at its own pace, waves folding into each other like quiet breaths.Natasha leaned against the railing beside me, the wind tugging gently at her hair. Rose was already racing across the living room behind us, her laughter echoing as she discovered the place like it was a treasure chest built just for her."Mom!" she called. "There's a swing outside!"Natasha smiled, a bright and contagious smile. "Don't run too fast," she warned, though there was no real bite to it.I hadn't realized how tight my chest had been until that moment—until the sound of Rose's joy loosened something inside me.No phones ringing.No voices demanding

    Spencer's POV"I hate to bother you, but I think I may have messed something up. Can I steal ten minutes?" It was a message from Lilith even though I had totally ignored her previous messages. I sighed through my nose and typed back.Me: What happened?Three dots appeared. Disappeared. Reappeared.Lilith: The season series. It's a hit and everyone is talking about it. I'm checking in to see if there's a way you can help me with it?The limited edition wasn't something Morris Winery pushed publicly. It was allocated quietly, selectively. Natasha had insisted on that—scarcity protected reputation.There was no way Lilith would go to Natasha, since both of them didn't get along. I locked my phone and leaned back in my chair.Ten minutes, I told myself as I exhaled again.Me: Come by the office. I'll make a call.Her reply came almost immediately.Lilith: Already downstairs.Of course she was. She didn't look like someone who'd rushed over.Lilith stood near the reception area, phone tu

    Spencer's POV"It's not looking good, is it?" I asked as I walked into the office and caught Oliver's grim expression. "How bad is it?""Very bad," Oliver breathed out. His hand flying to his face as he massaged his nose bridge. I noticed his eyes bag and exhaustion immediately. "It's not looking good at all." That told me everything I needed to know. I shut the door behind me and loosened my tie, though it did nothing to ease the pressure sitting in my chest.Oliver stood by the window, tablet in hand, jaw tight like he'd been clenching it for hours.From the clothes he had on, I could tell that he had spent the night here in the office. "Shares prices dipped overnight," Oliver said. "Nothing catastrophic yet, but the sentiment is… cautious. Some are pulling out on principle. Others are waiting to see if you'll survive this without imploding.""I do not even understand why they are targeting Reeds corporations." Oliver sneered. "It does belong to Anthony." "I'm Anthony's son." I

  • My Husband Made Me A Criminal    Chapter 76

    Spencer's POVThe city felt too loud after the courthouse.Not the traffic. Not the people.Just everything else.I drove without music and without a destination in mind. Until I realized I'd already parked.Natasha's building stood exactly where I remembered it. I didn't text. Didn't call.I just sat there for a moment, hand on the steering wheel, wondering when silence had become something I had to ask for.She opened the gate before I even came out of the car. She didn't look surprised to see me.Seeing I wasn't moving, she walked towards me and knocked on the window. I rolled down the glass and she leaned on it. "I cooked your favourite beef sauce with rice." She announced, her voice calm and normal.Normal like my father didn't drop a missile just a few hours ago. Normal like I am not the son of the man who had ruined her family. "Come on," she pulled open the door. "It's almost winter and the air is getting chilly." She didn't let me argue. She never did when she decided som

    Anthony's POV"We will call in the last witness for this case my lord," the prosecutor announced."Bring them him." The judge replied as he wrote things down after the previous witness spoke. As the familiar figure walked out into the witness box, my back stiffened, hand clenched into a ball.No way. He was supposed to be dead, h... how is he here?The man lifted his head and for a moment, I didn't recognize him—not because he had changed, but because my mind rejected the possibility of his existence.Dead men didn't breathe.Dead men didn't stand in witness boxes with their hands folded and their eyes steady.The courtroom shifted. Or maybe it was just me.The prosecutor didn't rush it. He never did.He had more control in the courtroom than I ever did over my sons. He let the silence stretch until it became uncomfortable, until the air itself seemed to lean toward the stand."Please state your name for the record."The man swallowed once. Then the voice and name I could never for
