NATHANIEL.

By the time I step into the café Amanda asked me to meet at, I already know I am not fully here.

Her text had sounded urgent, clipped in that way she only uses when something has gone wrong, and I came without thinking twice, even though I haven’t had the time to collect myself after the night I just survived.

My body still feels like it hasn’t caught up with reality yet, my muscles are tight, my jaw sore from clenching in my sleep, my chest still holding the echo of a dream I would

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 157

    NATHANIELShit! Even my voice sounds terrible. Rough. Unused. Like I have swallowed gravel. Which, honestly, makes sense, considering I barely speak anymore unless absolutely necessary.She takes a slow step toward me, still staring like she’s trying to process whether I’m actually real, and I instinctively take one back.The movement surprises me because suddenly I am painfully aware of everything.The alcohol probably lingering on my breath. The exhaustion beneath my eyes, and the fact that she has seen me at my absolute lowest, without warning.And then… thinking this cannot get any worse, her lips twitch.At first, it’s subtle.Just a tiny movement near the corner of her mouth, but then it grows wider and wider until a laugh suddenly bursts out of her before she slaps a hand over her mouth, too late to stop it.I stare at her in complete betrayal. Is she laughing at me?I don’t think Betty has ever laughed at me before.Argued with me? Yes. Threatened me? Absolutely. Looked at me

    NATHANIEL“Fuck… fuck… fuck…”The word loops violently in my brain while my body temporarily forgets basic human functions. Like breathing.What the hell is she doing here? Scratch that…I mean, why is she here now? Today. Like this.Of all the days for Betty Cooper to walk back into my life, it had to be the exact day when I look like this.Perfect. Absolutely perfect.She is staring directly at me now, her body still halfway inside the doorway, her hand wrapped around the knob behind her like she might bolt at any second.For one insane moment, I think maybe there’s still time to recover this situation if I remain completely still.Maybe if I don’t move, don’t blink, don’t breathe too aggressively, she’ll assume I’m one of Harriette’s weird sculptures and continue about her business.Shit. I should have stayed upstairs.I should have stayed locked in my chambers, where I belong, instead of wandering around the foyer looking for alcohol like a Victorian ghost.But then another thought

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 155

    BETTYI have been sitting outside the Blackwell estate gates for almost five whole minutes now, questioning every decision that has led me here.The engine is still running beneath me, vibrating softly through the steering wheel while I stare at the massive iron gates ahead like they might reject me the second I attempt to go in.Three months ago, I left this place swearing I would never come back unless Grace forced me to, and even then, I had imagined drop-offs at the gate, quick exchanges, as little contact with this family as humanly possible.Yet here I am alone, voluntarily about to walk straight back into the lion’s den because Rhys decided disappearing off the face of the earth was apparently a reasonable lifestyle choice.My grip tightens around the steering wheel.“What if they don’t let me in?” The thought arrives suddenly.What if Eleanor opens the door and throws me right back out? Or Nathaniel tells me to get the hell off his property? What if Harriette decides I lost al

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 154

    NATHANIELThree months have passed, and somewhere along the way, I have become a man I would not have allowed in my mere presence.There was a time when everything about me was deliberate. Controlled. Measured down to the smallest detail because anything less felt like weakness. Something I had no tolerance for, not in business, not in life, not in myself.Now, I stand in front of the mirror some mornings, and I can barely hold my own gaze long enough to register what the fuck I am looking at. Because there is nothing there.The beard came first. One missed shaving day turned into several, then into something thick enough to hide behind, erasing the sharp lines I once kept so carefully defined.My hair followed the same path, growing long enough that it falls into my face if I leave it loose, forcing me to tie it back in a careless knot that I do not bother adjusting even when it sits unevenly at the base of my neck.As for my perfectly tailored suits, I cannot remember the last time

    BETTYOutside of that, Lucy is back from London, exactly as loud and vibrant as she was before she left, slipping back into my life as if no time had passed at all.She is still with George, still as annoyingly perfect as ever, and the four of us have fallen into a rhythm of double dates, late dinners, and conversations that stretch longer than they should.And sometimes, when I sit back and watch it all unfold, Grace, laughing at something completely ridiculous, Lucy rolling her eyes dramatically, George trying to keep up, and Rhys looking at me like I am something worth holding onto, I catch myself thinking the same thing over and over again.This feels like a dream. The kind you do not want to wake up from.But I push that thought away every time it surfaces, refusing to let old fears dictate what I have now, refusing to let shadows from the past creep into something that has taken so much effort to build.I deserve this. We deserve this. And for the most part… I have allowed mysel

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 152

    BETTYIt’s been three whole months since I walked out of Blackwell estate with Grace’s hand in mine and suitcases that felt heavier than they had any right to be.If someone had told me back then that I would be standing here now, breathing easier, thinking clearer, living without that constant weight pressing down on my chest, I would have laughed in their face because nothing about that day felt like the beginning of something good.And yet… here I am.Living in Rhys’s building with Grace has been amazing, in a way that almost feels dangerous to admit out loud.Like if I say it too confidently, the universe might hear me and decide to correct it.Grace struggled more than I allowed myself to fully acknowledge in those first few days because if I had sat with it for too long, I might have broken under the weight of what I had done.There were tears that came out of nowhere, small at first and then louder when she realized they were not going to magically stop the change.Then there w

    BETTYMrs marshal leaves the café, and I remain seated long after our handshake has ended, staring down at the rectangle of paper resting against the dark, polished table.Ten thousand dollars. My name written carefully across the center, her signature firm at the bottom.The café hums around me —

    NATHANIEL.Something has shifted in the house since she left.Not enough to disrupt the routine, but just enough to make everything feel slightly out of place, like a painting hung a fraction too low on the wall.Harriette still spends her mornings in the garden, walking the paths with her cane, in

Moving through the estate with the kind of precision that suggests planning rather than coinc
