Just like Hector, my mouth dropped open and my eyes widened in shock at Nelson’s sudden confession that I was his wife. Not only was I surprised, but I was also frustrated. That was never part of my plan—never part of my plan to tell Hector that Nelson and I were married. Even though I was ready to end my revenge, I had already grabbed his attention, which nearly led to my downfall.

Hector’s jaw had just dropped, but now his gaze shifted rapidly between Nelson and me. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but no words came out.

The bastard was stunned. He probably thought I was still in love with him. He probably thought I hadn’t moved on from his blatant betrayal when he took everything from me. Maybe that’s why he had the nerve to try and take advantage of me again, thinking I wouldn’t refuse. He thought I’d just let him.

I found myself staring at Nelson, too. Yes, I was shocked, but what overwhelmed me more was the anxiety I felt as I watched Nelson, his hands clenched,

  • Nelson de Vedra: The Outcast Billionaire   (Vianna May ang Diego) Chapter 49

    My feet felt nailed to the ground. After more than a year of searching, she was finally standing in front of me. I clenched my fists. She looked so happy—her smile wide and bright—while I stood here, sad and burning with rage because she had left me. Then, I saw their matching smiles fade as they glanced at each other.My breathing grew heavy. The man with her—his eyes fierce, like a coiled predator—I wanted to smash his face right there. My fury flared when I saw their hands intertwined. Yet after a moment, I found myself grinning. No matter how tightly they clung to each other, it wouldn’t matter. She would be mine again, whether she wanted it or not.They stepped back slowly. I shook my head and scanned the area. They mirrored my movement. My men were already positioned around us, waiting for my signal. The moment they tried to run, they’d know exactly what to do.I grinned again when I saw fear flicker across their faces as they looked around. I took slow, deliberate steps toward

    My anger flared as I read the messages from my men, but underneath it, a strange excitement stirred. The longing to see Vianna May again tightened inside me.“Boss, we spotted Diego outside the mall. We’re following them and making sure they don’t notice.”The message came with pictures. All I could see was a back, but I knew it was Diego—I'd recognize the way his shoulders squared anywhere. I’d watched him before, how he fixed that look on Vianna May, a look that said something I couldn’t stand. Jealousy rose every time he was near her.I wanted to stab his eyes out. I want to smash his face. My jealousy had spilled over onto Vianna May, and I’d lost her for it. I couldn’t change what I’d done. I couldn’t undo what happened. All I could do now was take her back from Diego.I stared at the photos again, smiled, and gripped my phone until my knuckles ached. He’d bought so many things—proof he wasn’t alone. The suspicion that Vianna May was truly with him hardened into something hotter

    ROMEO“What’s the news?” I asked the moment my man climbed out of the car. He was one of the men I’d stationed around town to track down Vianna May.I’ve been searching for her for over a year. I scoured all of Paris, but she was nowhere. I assumed she’d gone abroad—she took our passports, the plane tickets, and even the money I’d saved for our trip to Paris. But she wasn’t there. I couldn’t find her.I’m going mad. A storm of emotions consumes me—worry, yes, but anger and fury burn brighter.Everyone connected to Vianna May is under surveillance—her house, her friends.I’m sure Myrna doesn’t know where she is—she wasn’t around when Vianna May vanished, but I want certainty.And then there’s Lenny, the chatterbox. That woman unsettles me. She’s the one who saw Vianna May with me and tattled the night I got drunk with flirtatious Roselyn.Most of my stakeouts are at Diego’s office and house, but my men can’t pin him down. He’d barely returned from Canada a few months ago before vanishi

    DIEGO I was at a loss for words. I didn’t know how to answer Vianna May’s question. I don’t want her to get anxious—or worse, afraid. I couldn’t risk triggering her trauma again. I knew it hadn’t completely gone. She was just forcing herself to endure it, hiding how she truly felt from me. I stared at her intently, scrambling for the right excuse. “Vi… I went to your house. I was hoping to talk to your mom, to tell her about us.” Her worry showed instantly. “Why would you do that, Di?!” she snapped. “What if they saw you? What if something happened to you, Diego?!” Her voice cracked as tears welled in her eyes. I couldn’t say more. That simple explanation had already shaken her so much—what more if I told her the truth? That people had been watching her house… her office… even mine? Not even my cousin or Anthony knew that Romeo’s men had been tailing our every move. And I couldn’t bring myself to tell them either. I didn’t want them living in fear. I knew I was the one they

    My chest tightened as I watched my husband walk toward the boat. When I glanced at him, a heavy feeling settled over me — I could feel his worry. Even with his smile, I could tell he was anxious and restless, as if his mind were elsewhere.I closed my eyes until the boat they were on disappeared from view. Quietly, I prayed that their trip would go well and that they would stay safe.Time crawled when my husband wasn’t here. I finished what I had to do, but the clock still felt frozen. I had grown used to him always being at my side.In the three months we’d lived under the same roof, we’d come to know each other even more. Sometimes we have a misunderstanding, but more often he was the first to give in. In those three months, we loved each other more deeply, despite the petty fights and sulks.“Mia,” Delia greeted as I stepped out of the store. “You’re not opening today?”“It depends. If my husband gets here early, we’ll open. He doesn’t want me to be the only one manning the shop.”

    “Bro!” I greeted Nelson.He was sulking again, staring blankly at his boat that hadn’t sailed for three months—not since he took Dorry to the port.Yes, it’s been three months since Vianna May and I got married, and nothing’s changed—we’re still madly in love. We have occasional arguments and misunderstandings, but we always resolve them through calm conversations and plenty of affection.Misunderstandings are normal in any relationship. Honestly, they add a little spice. After every quarrel comes sweet reconciliation. But even without fights, I never get tired of being sweet to my wife, making sure our days and nights are filled with happiness.Nelson, though—he’s different now. We don’t know what really happened to him. Our once naughty, loud, eccentric friend had turned into a quiet, withdrawn man. He wouldn’t talk, wouldn’t share anything. He just sat here, brooding on his boat.“Bro, are you really just going to sit here sulking forever? We’re worried about you—especially your pa
