RETURN OF MY BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX
“Ethan broke into our system in the basement and stole the footage of Caleb Monroe burning Guinevere Cross’s house — then gave it to the police,” one of the Helix Dynamics men said angrily.Miss Crayon slammed her hand on the table. “He lied to us about the project. He tricked us, hacked our CCTVs and our systems.”Fisher, the oldest with grey hair, frowned. “But… why hasn’t he come after us?”“He’s buying time,” Tony said. “Ethan always has a plan. We don’t know it yet. We must get into his tech company.”“You mean Air Tech?” Fisher asked.“Yes. Put spies inside his company,” Miss Crayon replied.Tony smiled sadly. “You think he’s simple. Everyone who works with him now were his college friends. He led their tech team then. He tried ideas like Mark Zuckerberg’s, and even when he was passed over he kept working. Now his apps compete with Facebook and Instagram.”Fisher nodded slowly. “I heard he doesn’t walk with bodyguards.”Tony chuckled. “He does have bodyguards, but you’d never sp

Preston Carter stood under the thin glare of the karaoke lights, singing to an audience that wasn’t there. His voice trembled; each note felt like a small, useless offering. Sadness sat heavy in his chest, a weight he could not shake.He had poured everything into finding Lauren and keeping her safe. He was relieved she was alive — but angry, too. Why hadn’t the police found her sooner? Why had it been Ethan Whitmore who located her?Wasn’t Ethan supposed to be out of the race? Ethan was brilliant — smarter than most people Preston knew, sharper than any machine when it came to computers. He could break into CCTV systems across the country if he wanted. Preston had always told himself Ethan was only good with tech, not with people or business. Yet Blackspire had risen, dominated its rivals, and won the Geneva Link project. It proved Ethan could win at more than code.Preston had never felt so small in a man’s shadow.Tears slipped down his cheeks as he sang. He had loved Laur

Ethan was filled with victory, but his heart was restless.“Where is Lauren, Dad?” he asked quickly.Raymond smiled softly. “She told Amy she’ll stay at our house tonight.”Ethan gasped. “Are you serious, Dad?”Tears welled in Raymond’s eyes. “Ethan, today you made me proud—but also ashamed of myself. All these years, I chased after Blackspire and never truly paid attention to how you were coping. That night in my study, I realized something painful. I was more afraid of losing Blackspire than of how losing Lauren would destroy you. I had forgotten my family. Ethan, you have become everything I failed to be.”Ethan’s eyes softened. “Father, you inspire me more than you know. You built Blackspire. You pushed me to complete my tech startup. You may not be perfect—no one is—but you’ll always be my inspiration.”A quiet smile passed between them.For the first time in years, it wasn’t about business.It was about father and son.***Ethan entered the house, the air filled with excitement

The burner card was linked to a fake company under Monroe Holdings.The rental car video was linked to Caleb Monroe.The evidence wasn’t strong enough for court yet, but it showed the truth. Lauren and Quinn’s kidnapping wasn’t random. It was planned. And the trail led straight to the Monroes.Ethan leaned back, his thoughts racing. He had feared Jonathan Monroe’s power for months. Now the proof was out in the open.Worse, Caleb wasn’t just a business rival anymore. He was tied to Lauren’s kidnapping.Ethan closed his eyes. The trail wasn’t unclear anymore. It had two names.Jonathan. Caleb.He suddenly remembered that they had burnt down the warehouses. They were the ones. The Monroes. Tomorrow was Geneva Link project. He had a plan and he was going to kill two beds with a stone. He smiled to himself. ***Ethan stepped out of the black car with his father, Raymond Whitmore. The wide glass building of the Geneva International Conference Centre rose in front of them. F

He’d barely towelled his hair when the phone on the counter screamed. Ethan snatched it up, breath still hot from the shower.“It’s been two days. Lauren Whitmore hasn’t returned home,” the spy said, voice flat.“I’ll call Amy.” He did, fingers fumbling....Amy answered on the second ring. “Hi, Amy.”“Thank God. Lauren said she was in Beverly Hills and would be home soon. It’s been seven hours. Her phone rings but no one answers…” Her voice frayed. Ethan didn’t wait to hear more. He ripped on the nearest clothes and ran.Preston Carter called as he came down the drive.“I’m outside Opulen Bank in Beverly Hills. Lauren’s car is parked here. Her phone was under the car—there’s blood. Police are here.” The words landed like a punch.Ethan sprinted. At the scene he took Lauren’s phone, thumbed at it, listening to static and the small fury of his own hands. “CCTV shows two masked men,” Preston said. “One hit her with a stick, dragged her to a car. They parked out of CCTV so we couldn't c

“You saved Ethan and Raymond from that fire,” the man said, voice low and oddly satisfied. “That means you saw our faces. We weren’t inside for more than a minute before the place blew. We took our masks off—sixty seconds before we finished the job. If you saw anyone, you saw me.”Amy’s hand flew to the nearest phone. “You—you were the one who—” Her words broke; she fumbled the handset, thumbing the call button as she tried to steady her breath.Before she could dial out, his arm shot across the room. He knocked the phone from her fingers and slammed her back against the plaster wall. Pain flared across her shoulder as she slid to the floor, chest heaving.“Are you sure you didn’t see my face?” he asked, leaning so close she could smell smoke and something metallic on his breath. His eyes were calm, dangerously patient.She scrambled for a torch on the hallway floor and managed to snatch it up. His hand darted out; she twisted, throwing a beam of light at him. For a heartbeat his
