THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption CHAPTER 244
NATHANIELAfter a long moment of staring at the fairy lights, I force the impending death of our company out of my head and focus on the only thing that actually matters tonight.Is she here yet? Or did she bail?The thought pierces through the rage, and I push off the desk. I need to see for myself. I take a deep breath, cross the room, and pick up the heavy glass paperweight. I set it back on the desk, adjust my cuffs, and walk out the door.The bass of the string quartet hits my chest the second I step into the hallway, followed by the echoing, chaotic laughter of a hundred wealthy guests. But before I face them, I walk in the opposite direction to Grace’s room.The space is dark, bathed in the faint glow of a nightlight. She is fast asleep, her chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm. I cross the plush carpet, pull the heavy duvet up over her shoulders, and step back out, pulling the door shut with a silent click.I make my way to the grand landing, and unfortunately, I find R
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption CHAPTER 243
NATHANIELThe heavy, soundproofed oak doors of my father’s study are shut, severing the swelling string quartet and the rich laughter of the ballroom below.In here, the silence is absolute. But the air is tainted.A thick, acrid cloud of cigar smoke hangs over the mahogany desk, clinging to the leather-bound books and the dark wood paneling. It is a blatant, calculated desecration of a space my father and grandfather treated as a sanctuary.I remain seated on the opposite side of the desk, keeping my palms flat against the smooth wood, forcing my fingers to spread so they don't curl into fists.Across from me sits Richard. The acting CEO of Blackwell Enterprise.Richard takes a long, arrogant drag of his cigar and leans back in the vintage leather chair, crossing one ankle over his knee, making himself far too comfortable. He wears a tuxedo jacket of gaudy gold with harsh black lapels—a vulgar, loud disruption of the classic dress code down in the ballroom, a smug, self-satisfied gri
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption CHAPTER 242
BETTYThe sheer, suffocating reality of him standing mere inches away—for the first time since we broke up—slams into my chest like a freight train and panic spikes hot in my blood. My palms turn clammy, slipping against the smooth gold metal of my clutch. I lock my knees to keep them from buckling and drag a sharp, jagged breath into my burning lungs.“Get it together, Betty.”I swallow the dry dust in my throat, bury the frantic hammering of my heart, and force my expression into a smooth, impenetrable mask. Only then do I let myself take him in.He looks different. Undeniably him, but fundamentally altered.He towers in my space, draped in a bespoke, all-black tuxedo that grips his broad shoulders and chest like a suit of armor, the sharp lines of his muscles pressing heavily against the dark fabric. He stands rooted in polished Italian leather shoes, one hand slid deep into his trouser pocket, pulling the jacket back to expose a heavy, gleaming silver watch at his wrist. The other

BETTYEleanor Blackwell. The one person I have never managed to impress since the day I entered this family.I stand still, drawing a deep, bracing breath into my lungs. One of us will leave this conversation upset, but tonight, I swear to God it will not be me.She paints a fake, glittering smile for the guests she passes, stopping a waiter to pluck a champagne flute from his silver tray before closing the final few feet between us.She says nothing at first. She just stands there, letting the heavy, judgmental weight of her gaze rake over me. I feel her eyes drag over the slit exposing my thigh, up the velvet to scrutinize the plunging V of my chest, before resting on my face."Betty," she sneers, the disdain dripping from the single word. "What are you doing here?"I let out a measured breath, forcing the corners of my mouth upward. "Nice to see you too, Eleanor. You look well." I keep my cadence flat and calm, refusing to let the tremor in my chest bleed into my voice. The absolut

BETTYIt's hard not to notice that the interior of the sleek, heavily tinted Maybach smells sharply of untouched, expensive leather as I stare out the dark window, my fingers nervously tracing the smooth, cool edge of my gold clutch.When Nathaniel’s driver arrived at my apartment, I had braced myself for one of the familiar estate cars—the ones I used to ride in when I was still living there. Instead, he sent this. A completely pristine, brand-new vehicle. One I had never seen before. And judging from how it looks and smells, I might be the first person to ride in it.I drag a shaky breath into my lungs, trying to steady the frantic hammering against my ribs as the streetlights blur past the glass.I wasn’t sure I was going to attend this gala. Especially after I fatefully remembered the last adult party I had attended and how things had gone from bad to worse.It was Harriette’s 80th birthday party. Staring at my ceiling, I could feel the oppressive, sweltering heat of the estate's
THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption CHAPTER 239
NATHANIELI watch her slowly pull her hand into her lap, and I curse myself for letting the mask slip, for letting her see exactly how desperate I am for her touch.She clears her throat, her eyes darting back to the safety of the laptop screen. "So... how do we proceed from here? Will you hand over the contacts and let me track them down, or...""No." I shake my head, desperately forcing my brain back into business mode. "I don't think cold-calling is the strategic play here. Blackwell Enterprise is celebrating its sixty-fifth anniversary next weekend. The gala will be held at the estate. Every single contact on that list will be in attendance."I pause, choosing my next words with surgical precision. I cannot sound desperate. I cannot demand she be there."I think it would be a much stronger launch if you met them face-to-face in a social setting," I offer quietly.Betty shifts uncomfortably in her chair, her shoulders going rigid. She grabs her iced tea, taking a long, slow drag fr

BETTYI walk into Harriette’s rose garden just as the morning sun settles high enough to warm the air without burning it.The scent of roses hangs thick around the gazebo, sweet and almost dizzying if you breathe in too deeply.I find her standing a few steps away from it, holding a small metal wat

BETTYI shift in my seat, heat flooding my cheeks, embarrassment prickling under my skin, and I glance at Grace, praying she’s not paying attention.Luckily, she’s busy playing with the ribbon on her dress, humming softly to herself, blissfully unaware of the tension wrapping the room like a storm c
