BETTY

I 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 befo

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 220

    NATHANIELThe hospital administration had flatly refused my demand to rent out the entire floor as I had done in New York, but after a sizable "donation" to the ward, they had at least provided me with a private, secure on-call room to clean up in.It is a small, confined space, but meticulously clean.I drop the duffel bag onto the small cot, walk straight to the sink, and I turn the faucet on full blast, splashing freezing-cold water over my face, letting it soak into my messy hair.The icy shock does absolutely nothing to ease the twisting, agonizing fear in my gut regarding Harriette, but at least the heavy, dark bags under my eyes look marginally less pronounced in the mirror.There is a tiny shower stall in the corner. I stare at it. It is entirely too cramped and practical for my tastes, but looking down at my rumpled clothes from yesterday, I don't care. I strip them down and step under the spray.There is no hot water, exactly as I expected, but I have never needed a cold sho

    NATHANIEL.It has been exactly three hours and twelve minutes since Betty walked out of the hospital.In that agonizing stretch of time, I have paced every single square inch of this sterile waiting room. I have yelled at the nurses behind the front desk twice, completely lost my temper, and threatened to buy the entire hospital and fire the administrative staff, until security politely but firmly informed me that if I opened my mouth again, I would be escorted off the premises.I hate to admit it, but Betty being was the only thing keeping the darkest, most volatile parts of me in check. And the second she left me alone, I unraveled.I clench my hands into white-knuckled fists at my sides, cursing internally for the millionth time.Harriette is still in surgery. The doctor hasn't come through those swinging double doors to give me a single update, leaving my exhausted brain to conjure up only the most terrifying, worst-case scenarios.I have tried everything to keep my mind occupied.

    BETTYAnything else? I tap my fingers anxiously against the marble island in the center of the closet. It could get cold. I crouch down and pull one of his heavy, oversized black hoodies from the bottom shelf, stuffing it into the duffel bag.That should be it. I grab the handles of the bag, but right as I turn toward the door, a sudden realization stops me dead in my tracks.Underwear.I let out a heavy, exasperated sigh, letting my head drop back. I have to go into Nathaniel Blackwell’s underwear drawer.What exactly has my life become?I turn back around, staring down the sleek rows of built-in drawers beneath the marble island. I pull the top one open. It is entirely packed with designer sunglasses, all subtly engraved with the letters N.B. I roll my eyes and push it shut.The second drawer. Watches. A terrifying fortune of Rolexes and vintage Patek Philippes resting on velvet cushions. I shut it immediately.The third drawer. Boxers, perfectly color-coordinated next to neat stack

    BETTYWe haven't truly spoken since our heavy conversation the other day. He explained his side of the story, but if I am being entirely honest with myself... I feel distant from him. Like, there is a pane of glass between us, and I don't know how to break it.He takes a step forward, closing the distance, and reaches out, his good hand coming to rest gently on my shoulder.I stiffen.It is an involuntary reaction, something that has never happened between us before, but my body just entirely locks up and he notices. The warmth drops from his eyes, and he pulls his hand back, taking a slow step away."How is Harriette?" he asks, his voice quieter now.I fold my lips into a thin line and nod once. "She's in surgery. An emergency bypass for a blocked artery."Rhys takes another step back, running his good hand through his hair, as a heavy, jagged breath leaving his chest. He stares at the floor for a long second before looking back up at me with pure, unfiltered guilt and regret flicker

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 206

    BETTYI don’t think I have ever seen Nathaniel that terrified in the entire time I have known him.He tried to keep his head up. He tried to wear that impenetrable, stoic mask, but it completely shattered the moment we stepped into that hospital.I could hear the raw, bleeding regret in his voice when he admitted he wished he hadn't gone back to the house. And that he hoped he didn’t have that confrontation with her.I could tell even if he didn’t say it, that he feels entirely responsible for what happened to Harriette. And God knows what will become of him if she doesn't make it out of that surgery. That’s why she has to.I push the dark thought away, my mind flashing back to the muffled argument I overheard through the heavy oak door of the study. “It was the only way to make sure Fausto didn't come after anyone in this family. It was the only way to make sure he didn't come after Betty. Or Rhys.”My chest violently tightens, and my grip on the leather steering wheel turns my knuck

    NATHANIELI am violently yanked from the dark by a blood-curdling scream. My heart immediately hammers against my ribs in a frantic, defensive rhythm. I jolt upright in the stiff plastic chair, my heavy boots scraping against the floor as I try to make sense of my surroundings.A pair of paramedics bursts through the sliding glass doors of the ER, shouting a rapid-fire string of medical codes. They are pushing a gurney holding a man covered in blood, his clothes shredded, screaming in absolute agony as they rush him down the pristine white hallway.I press the heels of my hands into my eyes, rubbing the gritty, burning exhaustion out of them as the sterile smell of the hospital crashes back over me.Everything comes rushing back in a suffocating wave. The study. The confrontation. The sickening thud of Harriette’s cane hitting the floorboards. The ambulance.I drop my hands, letting out a ragged breath. I hadn't even realized I fell asleep. One minute I was staring at the wall, listen

    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 t

    NATHANIELMy hands won’t stop trembling, and the paper shakes between my fingers, the words blurring no matter how many times I blink.I must have read the same line a dozen times, but it still doesn’t make sense. Divorce. “She wanted to divorce my grandfather?” The word tastes foreign in my mouth.

    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 flurri

    BETTYAfter a full day of dust, drills, and paint samples, I still feel like the construction site clings to my skin.My fingers smell faintly of fresh cement and marker ink, and my back aches from leaning over blueprints all day.I should have gone home to shower, but Lucy can be very persuasive.S
