BETTY

“Fuck. When did she come back? Was she the one he was talking to at the office?” My legs turn to water as she gets closer, and it feels like my entire world is about to detonate.

She removes her mask with one elegant motion, her smile slow, and knowing before stopping right in front of us.

Then, she stretches out her hand towards him, and he takes it like instinct, before kissing it.

The sounds around me fade completely, and suddenly, I freeze.

I stare at him, waiting, hoping he’ll look at me, and say something, anything, but Nathaniel doesn’t even blink in my direction.

He is looking at her, like she’s the only person in the room, and I watch as he leans forward, kissing her cheek.

The air leaves my lungs, every pair of eyes now on me, and my chest tightens until it hurts.

“Breathe, my dear,” Harriette’s voice slips in from beside me, her hand sliding around my tiny waist.

I blink through the blur, turning my head to her, her presence commanding as ever.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 056

    NATHANIEL.It has been almost three weeks since Betty and I made a deal, and in that time, she has become a ghost inside her own house.She’s been doing everything possible to avoid crossing paths with me. Moving through the estate with the kind of precision that suggests planning rather than coincidence.The club opening was meant to happen sooner, but setbacks forced them to postpone it, which meant the delays required more of her time, attention, and presence away from this house.That explains why neither of them has been around much. At first, the idea of them spending so many hours together started to crawl under my skin in a way I refused to acknowledge, but I shut it down because I knew Betty wouldn’t risk the deal.She wouldn’t risk Grace, and that certainty is the only thing keeping my thoughts from drifting too far into places I don’t want to examine too closely.Amanda, however, has been impossible.Her messages pile up on my phone, each one sharper than the last, all orbi

    BETTYDid I just win an argument with Nathaniel? The thought follows me as I close the door behind me, the soft click echoing louder than it should in the quiet foyer.Winning isn’t the right word. Winning suggests triumph, satisfaction, a clean ending. This was none of those things. But I did manage to corner him into a deal that tilts slightly in my favor, and alone pulls a small, involuntary smirk to my lips.One month of pretending nothing has changed, and in return, I get Grace half the time? Piece of cake.I tilt my head as I stand there, letting the math settle in my chest, thinking maybe I should have pushed harder. Asked for full custody and dared him to fight me for it. He was willing to do it to me.The thought flickers, sharp and tempting, before reality tempers it just as quickly.Grace adores her father wholeheartedly, with a devotion that is pure and uncomplicated, which means ripping him out of her world would only hurt her more than it would him.Hence, this way is be

    NATHANIEL“You and I need to talk.” The words tear out of me the second she steps inside the house, my voice impatient, already threaded with the frustration that’s been coiling in my chest all day.I don’t give her time to react. My hand closes around her wrist, and I pull her back outside, toward the driveway, away from the open doors and the ears that always seem to be listening in this house.“What the hell, Nathaniel?” She yanks her hand free, fury flashing across her face as she takes a step back. “Were you waiting for me by the door? God, have you completely lost your mind?”I lift the papers between us, the white pages stark in the dim light. “We need to talk about this.”She tilts her head, unimpressed, her mouth curling into something between a smirk and a challenge. “I already signed them. What else do you want? Or are you angry that I signed without your permission?” Her gaze sharpens. “That your plan to humiliate me didn’t go the way you hoped?”I frown, trying to understa

    NATHANIELThe divorce papers are clenched in my hand, my grip tight enough that the edges bite into my skin.She should be packing by now, or at least doing something with her newfound freedom.Instead, the bed is neatly made, smoothed down to perfection, the pillows aligned, her clothes still hanging in the closet in careful rows, untouched, unhurried, like she has nowhere else to be.Her dresser looks the same, too, every familiar object exactly where I left it last time I was here, as if nothing in this room has shifted at all.I let out a slow breath, my hand coming up to drag through my hair as relief hits me so suddenly it almost knocks the air out of my lungs.She hasn’t packed, meaning she hasn’t left yet.That calms me for a moment before irritation creeps in, sharp and unwelcome, mainly because, if she hasn’t gone anywhere, then where the hell is she?I glance at my watch, my jaw tightening.She’s always around on weekends, always orbiting Grace, meaning her absence is delib

    BETTYI park the car crookedly and rush into the building with my pulse racing, my heels echoing too loudly against the concrete as I take the stairs two at a time.By the time I reach the top floor, my lungs are on fire, and I stop abruptly, bracing my palm against the wall, my chest heaving as I try to pull in enough air into my lungs.It takes a few long seconds before the dizziness eases, and my breathing evens out enough for me to think clearly again.I push the double doors open, and before my foot barely makes it past the threshold, my body comes to a full stop, my eyes darting across the room in stunned disbelief.This is not how it looked the last time I was here. It was chaos—unfinished walls, exposed wiring, dust coating every surface, and my ideas existing only in sketches.Now, everything is complete.The floors gleam beneath the soft, strategic lighting, dark polished concrete meeting rich wood in a way that grounds the space without weighing it down.The walls are textu

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 051

    BETTYI am in Lucy’s apartment, pacing like I’ve lost my mind, my hands tangled in my hair, fingers pressing into my scalp as if I can physically hold myself together.My heart won’t slow down. It’s beating so loudly that I’m half convinced Lucy can hear it from where she’s sitting.After I signed those papers, I felt calm. Not relief, not joy, not fear, just a strange, unsettling calm that I actually stopped to wonder if something was wrong with me or my mind had finally gone numb after years of holding itself together by force alone.And for almost an hour, I was fine, before it all went to shit.The spiraling came fast and without warning, like my body caught up to my decision before my mind did, and suddenly the house felt too small, the walls too close, and the air too heavy to breathe.I knew then I couldn’t face Nathaniel, or Harriette, with her sharp eyes, quiet power, and the feeling that she’s always ten steps ahead of everyone else.I grabbed the keys from Anders and drove
