My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 60: Monica's Confession
The warehouse fell into complete silence.No one moved.No one spoke.The name seemed to echo through the building.Victor Sketer.Rebecca stared at Elias.Sebastian stared at Monica.And Monica stared at the floor.For the first time since they had met her, she looked vulnerable.Not cunning.Not confident.Not dangerous.Just tired.Very tired.As though she had spent years carrying a burden she no longer had the strength to hold.Elias sat heavily in his chair.The revelation had drained him.Detective Morales broke the silence."You're saying Victor Sketer ordered Claire Bennett's murder?"Elias nodded slowly."Yes."The detective exchanged a look with the officers nearby.It was an extraordinary accusation.One that would require evidence.One that could rewrite decades of history.Monica finally spoke.Her voice sounded strangely calm."He did."Every head turned toward her.Sarah blinked."What?"Monica looked up.Tears glistened in her eyes."My father ordered it."The room fr
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 59: Father and Children
Nobody spoke for several seconds.The words seemed impossible to process.He's asking to see both of his children.Rebecca sat frozen.Sebastian couldn't move.The letter still rested on the table between them.The proof.The confession.The truth.For twenty-nine years, they had lived separate lives.Now, in a single evening, they had discovered they shared the same father.And that father was alive.Waiting.Asking for them.Rebecca slowly shook her head."No."Her voice broke."No, no, no..."Tears streamed down her face.Years of unanswered questions were colliding at once.Who she was.Why she'd been hidden.Why she'd spent decades feeling as though part of her life never quite fit.Sebastian understood exactly how she felt.Because he felt it too.Morales glanced at his watch."We need to move."The reminder snapped everyone back to reality.Elias was alive.For now.And Monica was with him.For now.Neither condition felt guaranteed to last.The drive to the warehouse felt endl
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 58: The Name in the Letter
Nobody spoke.The grandfather clock on Rebecca's mantel ticked softly in the silence.Tick.Tick.Tick.Each second seemed louder than the last.Sebastian stared at the letter.His hands had become strangely cold.Across from him, Lena watched carefully.She had seen him handle boardroom crises worth millions.She had watched him navigate lawsuits, hostile takeovers, and public scandals.She had never seen him look like this.Like a man standing on the edge of a cliff.Afraid to look down.Rebecca slowly sat beside the fireplace.Her face looked pale.As though she already knew what came next.Perhaps she did.The letter had been in her possession for years.Maybe decades.And yet she'd never opened it.The envelope had been addressed to Sebastian.Only Sebastian.Morales finally broke the silence."Finish reading it."Sebastian nodded.Slowly.Then lowered his eyes back to the page.The handwriting belonged unmistakably to Elias Mercer.Firm.Precise.Confident.The handwriting of a
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 57: The Attack
The first gunshot shattered more than the window.It shattered the illusion that they still had time.Glass exploded across the living room.Rebecca dropped to the floor instinctively.Lena followed a split second later.Sarah screamed.Harrison pulled her down behind the dining table.Detective Morales drew his weapon and moved toward the wall beside the broken window."Everybody stay down!"Another shot blasted through the house.The bullet buried itself in a bookshelf.Books tumbled to the floor.Wood splintered.Rebecca's face had gone pale."How did they find us?"Nobody answered.Because nobody knew.And at that moment, it didn't matter.The only thing that mattered was surviving.Sebastian crawled toward Rebecca."Are you hurt?"She shook her head."No."A third shot struck the front door.Then silence.An eerie, terrifying silence.Morales carefully peered through the shattered window.His expression hardened."Vehicle.""What vehicle?" Lena asked."Black SUV."Rebecca closed
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 56: The Truth Rebecca Carried
For a moment, nobody moved.Rebecca's words hung in the warm Tucson air.Monica found him.The statement struck Sebastian like a physical blow.All this time, they had been racing to find Elias Mercer.Now they were standing in front of the one person who seemed to know the entire story.And she was telling them they were running out of time.Again.Rebecca glanced nervously toward the street.The movement didn't go unnoticed.Lena followed her gaze."What are you looking for?"Rebecca's expression tightened."Not what."A pause."Who?"Detective Morales immediately became alert."Are we being watched?"Rebecca laughed softly.Not because it was funny.Because the answer was obvious."We've all been watched for years."The comment silenced everyone.Even Morales.Because deep down, they all suspected it was true.Rebecca stepped aside."Come inside."The house was surprisingly modest.Bookshelves lined nearly every wall.Family photographs occupied small tables and shelves.Plants sat
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 55: Waiting in Tucson
The room fell silent.Tucson.The city seemed to appear in every answer they uncovered.Every trail.Every secret.Every missing piece.Now Rebecca herself had resurfaced there.Or at least someone wanted them to believe she had.Sebastian stared at Detective Morales."Are you sure?"The detective nodded."The email originated from Tucson."Sarah immediately shook her head."That doesn't prove Rebecca sent it.""True."Morales folded his arms."But it proves whoever sent it wanted us to look in Tucson."Nobody liked that.Because it meant one of two things.Either Rebecca was finally revealing herself.Or someone was setting a trap.The following morning, the group left Phoenix before sunrise.The desert stretched endlessly around them as they headed south.Lena watched the landscape pass by through the passenger window.Golden light slowly crept across the horizon.The sky shifted from deep purple to orange.Beautiful.Peaceful.Completely at odds with the tension inside the vehicle.
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 39: Echoes of the Past
The storm lingered over Tucson long after midnight.Wind rattled against the tall windows of the Crouch estate while shadows danced across the walls of the sitting room.Nobody seemed eager to sleep.Too much had happened.Too many foundations had cracked.Lena stood near the fireplace, staring int
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 37: The Safe That Should’ve Been Empty
The drive to the Crouch estate passed in near silence.Rain blurred against the windows in restless streaks while Tucson’s lights stretched and bent across the wet roads. Lena sat beside Sebastian in the back of the car, watching him carefully without making it obvious.He hadn’t spoken in almost t
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 36: The Call No One Expected
The room stopped breathing.Sebastian stood frozen with the phone pressed against his ear, every trace of color draining slowly from his face.Lena watched his expression change in stages.Shock.Disbelief.Then something colder.Something hollow.“What do you mean, dead?” he asked quietly.His mot
My Husband Regretted Divorcing Me Chapter 35: The Name on the Certificate
Nobody moved.Harrison still held the document in both hands, but the tension in the room had already shifted toward Sebastian.Because they all knew.Even before the paper reached the table.Sebastian’s expression became frighteningly still.“What birth certificate?” he asked quietly.Harrison hes
