THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption CHAPTER 044
BETTYGrace is practically vibrating beside me. “Where are we going? Where are we going? Tell me!”I glance at her, smiling. “How do you feel about the arcade?”Her scream is loud enough to make me flinch. “YES!”We head to the other side of town, where the streets are louder, and the buildings are closer together, and where people move like they have somewhere to be at all times.Grace presses her face to the window the whole way, pointing at random things like she’s never seen the city before, and I let her because I need this too.When we step into the arcade, the sound hits us first—machines beeping, coins clinking, music pulsing, and laughter bouncing off every surface.The lights flash neon colors across Grace’s face as she spins in a slow circle, taking it all in like she’s walked into a dream.“Mom,” she breathes, eyes huge. “This is amazing.”“Go, find something cool. ” I tell her, and she takes off like a firework, as I run behind her.We start with racing games. Grace grips

BETTYI’m in front of the mirror because I couldn’t sleep, already dressed in a cute cropped hoodie, high-waisted jeans, and sneakers that make me feel light on my feet even when my heart isn’t.My hair is pulled back, my face bare, and for a long moment, I just stare at my reflection like I’m waiting for her to say something first.I look… normal. Which is funny, because nothing about my life feels normal anymore.A memory of Rhys’s hands on me flashes in my mind, and my stomach tightens, that stupid flutter threatening to rise again, but I shut it down immediately, like slamming a door.“Not today,” I murmur to my reflection, grabbing my purse from the dresser and turning away before I can overthink it.I rush downstairs, and I find Anders at the entrance like he’s been standing there since midnight, waiting for the world to begin.He straightens the moment he sees me, polite and professional as always. “Good morning, ma’am.”“Morning,” I reply, not slowing down. “I’ll be taking Gra

NATHANIELI’m leaning against my desk, legs spread apart, the edge biting into the back of my thighs through my trousers, while Amanda stands between them like she belongs there. Which she does.Her perfume clings to the air, the kind that lingers long after she’s gone, and her chest brushes mine every time she shifts, trying to steady her hand to apply the cream around my eye.The sting hits immediately, but I don’t flinch, staring past her shoulder at the city skyline beyond the glass, deep in thought.Her face won’t leave me alone. Betty’s.The way her cheeks were flushed, that raw red that didn’t look like embarrassment but so much as heat, panic, and something else entirely.The way her breathing was uneven, shallow, and fast, like she’d been running towards something or away from something.And the way she clung to that nightgown like it was armor, as if to shield me from whatever the hell she didn’t want me to see.And then Rhys. Standing at the bottom of the stairs like a man

BETTYRhys’s mouth moves against mine with an urgency that steals the air from my lungs.His hands are firm on my waist, strong and certain, and before I even understand what’s happening, he lifts me as though I weigh nothing, and sets me on the cool marble counter.The shock of it sends a tremor through me, and my whole body hums with a fever I don’t recognize.His lips find mine again, hungrier, and I feel the heat of him pressed between my legs.My fingers clutch at his back, tracing the hard planes of muscle through his vest, and slip up into his hair without meaning to.Every nerve in my body feels alive, burning and desperate, and I can’t remember the last time I felt anything like this.For a split second, I forget where I am, because this is the only thing I want right now, but everything crashes into me all at once.The marble counter beneath me, the faint ticking of the grandfather clock at the entrance, the thought of Harriette asleep upstairs, of Grace in her little bed, a

BETTYRhys hesitates, then finally sits down like a kid on the verge of a tantrum, jaw tight, gaze fixed on the floor.I move closer, and for the first time since everything erupted upstairs, I finally have a full view of him.The vest he’s wearing clings to him like a second skin, his muscles taut beneath the thin cotton, his abs pressing faintly against the fabric every time he breathes.His sweatpants hang low on his hips, and his socks are mismatched—white and slightly frayed at the edges, shoved into old house slippers.His hair is an artful mess, a chaos that somehow works on him, and even from where I stand, I can smell the faint trail of his cologne, clean, musky, something dark and masculine.It’s unfair, I think, that someone can look like that after almost getting into a brawl.I clear my throat, shaking off the thought, and pour disinfectant on a cotton pad. “Hold still,” I mutter, stepping into his space.The air changes instantly, every nerve in my body going sharp, as h

BETTYI freeze outside the door, my breath caught somewhere between my chest and my throat.I force myself to look in and the sight steals whatever air was left in my lungs.The room looks like a battlefield, books scattered like fallen soldiers, and papers littering the floor in torn, angry flurries.Rhys stands in the middle of the wreckage, his mouth bleeding, his chest rising and falling fast, his eyes wild, the kind that carry more than fury.Harriette stands across from him, hugging herself so tightly that she looks as though she’s trying to keep her bones from shaking apart.“Are you okay, Grandma?” I whisper, rushing to her side before she can answer.Her skin feels cold under my hand, fragile in a way I’ve never felt before, and I slide my arm around her shoulders, rubbing slow circles to warm her.She gives a tiny nod, but her eyes dart toward Rhys, and that’s when I notice his hand—split and bleeding.“We should clean that,” she murmurs, her voice coming out thin and shaky.
