lRachel’s POV

The sound of his typing filled the room steadily, focused, unbothered.

The glow from his laptop cast a faint light across his face, sharp and calm, as if nothing in the world could shake him.

I watched him from the bed, the sheets soft beneath me, the air carrying the faint scent of my body lotion. I had just stepped out of the shower, the steam still clinging to my skin. My nightgown brushed lightly against my legs, but my mind wasn’t calm.

I turned once, twice… and sighed.

    Nathan’s POVI was sitting in my living room with one of my closest friends, staring at the documents spread across the table in front of me, and for the first time in months, I actually felt like my life was finally beginning to move in the direction I had always wanted. My company had collapsed, my reputation had been damaged, and I had lost almost everything I had built, but now I finally had a reason to believe that I could start again because Rachel's parents had decided to help me when I had nowhere else to turn. My friend looked at me with disbelief as he leaned back on the sofa.“So, Rachel's mother actually gave you the money?” he asked.“Yes, she did,” I replied. “Wow, man, she's really a good woman,” he said. I nodded, feeling a strange sense of relief. “Yes, she is,” I replied. “Despite everything that happened between Rachel and me, her family still cares about me, and I don't think they would have helped me if they completely hated me.”My friend smiled.

    Rachel povBy the time I returned home that evening, I was carrying so many shopping bags that the driver had to help me take everything inside, and the moment my mother saw the number of bags following me into the house, she immediately shook her head with a smile. “Rachel, what did you buy this time?” my mother asked.I laughed as I walked into the living room.“Nothing much, Mom, I just saw some things that I thought everyone would like, so I bought them,” I replied. “Nothing much?” my father repeated, looking at the mountain of bags behind me. “Baby, if this is what you call nothing much, then I don't want to know what you call shopping,” he said.I laughed even harder. “Dad, don't complain because I bought something for you too,” I replied.“For me?” he asked, suddenly looking interested.“Yes, for you,” I replied.He immediately stood up and walked toward the bags. “Then why are we still standing here talking?” he asked.My mother laughed. “Look at you

    Rachel pov The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual, and for a few seconds, I simply lay there staring at the ceiling, allowing myself to enjoy the quietness around me before the responsibilities of the day came rushing back into my mind. I didn't wake up feeling like I had to chase after anyone, explain myself to anyone, or wonder where my husband was and what he was doing, because after everything that had happened, I had finally decided that my life could not continue revolving around Dave. I had children who needed me, a company that needed me, parents who loved me, and two little girls who had unexpectedly become part of my life, so I had enough reasons to keep moving forward even if my heart still carried wounds that had not completely healed. I got out of bed, took a shower, and dressed for work in a simple but elegant business outfit, choosing a fitted dark dress with a matching jacket that made me look exactly like the woman everyone at the comp

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 79 — Betty’s POV

    Betty PovFor several days, I had not seen Dave, and at first, I tried to convince myself that there was nothing to worry about because he was probably still angry and simply needed some time alone, but as the days passed without him answering my calls or coming anywhere near me, the fear in my heart became impossible to ignore. I called him again and again, sent him messages, and even asked some of his men where he was, but nobody was willing to tell me anything, and that only made me more desperate because I knew Dave well enough to understand that when he became this quiet, something was seriously wrong. So that morning, I got into my car and drove straight to his house because I refused to sit at home waiting for my husband to remember that I existed.I was his wife now. At least, that was what I kept telling myself. When I arrived at the gate, two guards immediately stepped forward, and one of them raised his hand to stop me. “Who are you here to see?” the gua

    Rachel pov Rachel stepped out of the car with the two little girls holding tightly onto each of her hands, while the twins followed behind with one of the nannies, their tiny voices filling the compound with excitement after the long journey home. She had barely taken two steps toward the entrance when her mother came rushing toward her, her face lighting up with happiness as she pulled Rachel into a tight embrace. “My baby girl, you are finally home,” her mother said, her voice trembling with relief.Rachel smiled against her mother's shoulder and hugged her even tighter. “I missed you so much, Mom,” Rachel replied, her voice soft with emotion.Her father came forward next, and although he tried to maintain his usual serious expression, the smile on his face betrayed him completely. “Look at you,” he said, placing both hands on Rachel's shoulders as he examined her from head to toe. “You left this house looking exhausted and heartbroken, but you have returned looking like a

    Rachel’s POVAfter the call with Dave ended, I remained on the edge of the bed for several minutes, staring at my phone while the last words he had said continued playing inside my head, but I refused to let them ruin the peace. I had finally found because I had spent too many nights crying over that man and too many mornings waking up with a broken heart, so I wiped the tears from my face and turned toward the two little girls who were sitting together on the bed, watching me with innocent eyes. “Girls, finish your food because we are going out today,” I said, forcing a smile.“Where are we going, Mommy?” the younger one asked excitedly.I laughed softly because I knew I had already lost the battle with that name.“I told you not to call me Mommy, but you keep doing it anyway,” I said.She smiled mischievously. “Because you are like our mommy,” she replied.Her sister immediately nodded. “Yes, you take care of us, you buy us food, you let us sleep in your be

    When we got home, the silence felt heavier than the night air outside. The moment we walked through the door, I collapsed on the couch, my head buried in my palms.
