THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption CHAPTER 010
NATHANIEL"You can go fuck yourself, Nathaniel." Her words keep looping in my head like a broken record, until I can no longer take it.I can still see her face when she said them — the way her eyes glistened under the dim light of the foyer, her lips trembling, her voice steady but breaking at the edges.Six years of shouting, arguing, cold silences… but this time, it was different. This time, she looked at me like she finally saw me for what I am.And somehow, I can’t get it out of my head.Why? I don’t know. Maybe because there was something in her eyes that shouldn’t have been there — disappointment. Not fear, not anger… just plain disappointment.I drag a hand through my hair and exhale sharply, forcing that image out of my mind.She had to hear those words. She needed to. I had to remind her of what this marriage really is — a cage built out of guilt and obligation.“She should be thanking me. I did her a favor tonight. “ That’s what I tell myself, anyway.If she knows where she

BETTYThe first thing I feel when I wake up is pain, and not the dull kind. It’s a sharp, pounding one that makes me feel like my brain is trying to claw its way out of my skull.I groan, opening my eyes slowly, and I lean back against the headboard, pressing my fingers to my temple, rubbing in slow circles.“Fuck,” I mutter under my breath. “This is what I get for indulging in champagne.”It’s been years since I’ve drunk like that — six to be exact.The last time I drank was the night I woke up beside a billionaire, with no memory of how it had happened, and my entire life changed before I even had the chance to breathe.That morning, I’d sworn I’d never again. And yet, last night, at Harriette’s birthday, I caved.I shove the blanket away and swing my legs over the bed, the floor cold beneath my feet.“I need aspirin,” I whisper to myself, dragging my night robe over my shoulders, tying the sash around my waist loosely.The house is quiet, the air thick with the aftertaste of perfum

BETTY“Cousin?” My eyes widen, my lips parting slightly.Both men turn in my direction, the air between them crackling with a silent challenge.The cousin smirks first, his hands sliding lazily into his pockets, shoulders relaxed, confidence dripping from every movement.Nathaniel, on the other hand, goes rigid—his jaw ticking, eyes narrowing like he’s facing an unwelcome ghost.I glance between them, disbelief twisting inside me. “Why didn’t you tell me you were family?” I ask the stranger, but he only looks at me with that same easy grin that could melt glaciers.Nathaniel takes a step closer, his expensive, woody cologne cutting through the tension. “How do you two know each other?” he demands, voice low but loud enough for the guests around us to hear.“We just met,” I answer quickly, keeping my tone steady even though my heart won’t stop pounding. “In the garden. A few minutes ago.” Nathaniel’s gaze flicks over me, cold and cutting, before turning back to his cousin like I’ve sa

BETTYI squint my eyes, completely thrown off by this stranger standing in front of me.“Did you just say you’re Batman?” I ask, crossing my arms over my chest, trying to mask the confusion twisting in my stomach.He smiles — and it’s ridiculous how beautiful it is. It’s those kinds of smiles that feel practiced yet disarming, the kind that could melt through walls.For a fleeting second, I think of Nathaniel and how he has that same kind of smile, but it has never been directed to me.“Mmh,” he hums, raising an eyebrow, and for some reason, that tiny gesture sends warmth crawling up my neck.Did I just blush? What the hell. I was crying only minutes ago.I straighten my shoulders, forcing my voice to steady. “If you’re not going to tell me who you are, maybe you’ll be more comfortable telling the security.”I step around him to make my way back to the house, but he moves just as quickly and blocks my path.I bump into his chest, and the impact sends a shiver down my spine, because da

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.“You look beautiful ton

BETTYStanding in front of the full-length mirror in my room, I stare at the silver sequin gown Harriette sent earlier with a note that read, Wear this tonight.The gown is beautiful, and it’s hugging me in all the right places.For a moment, I almost don’t recognize myself. My waist looks smaller, my figure elegant, making me look like I belong, but when I lift my gaze to my reflection, the illusion fades.Even with the makeup, my face looks pale and tired, like I haven’t slept in days. And the truth is, I haven’t. Not since I heard Nathaniel in his office, saying things no wife should ever hear.I still can’t get his words out of my head, and every time my eyes close, I hear his voice. “I don’t love her. I will never love anyone as i loved you.”My hands tighten around the edge of the dresser, taking a deep breath, forcing myself to look up at my reflection again.“I wish I didn’t have to go downstairs,” I mutter out loud to myself.It’s Harriette’s birthday tonight, and she’s the
