THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption CHAPTER 247
NATHANIELHer eyes widen as she looks at me like I have lost my mind before she darts them into my empty bedroom, then back to me. "Here? There is no music." She swallows so hard I see her throat move.I hold my hand out, motioning toward the balcony edge with my chin. "There is. Can't you hear it?"Downstairs, the quartet has shifted to a slow, sweeping waltz. It is faint, drifting up through the night air, but it is there. There is no excuse for her to refuse.She shakes her head with a small frown, visibly battling with herself, but then, a soft, reckless flicker sparks in her green eyes, and she lifts her free hand. "Only because you went out of your way to help tonight."A small, dangerous smile touches my mouth, and I close the final inch between us, taking her hand in mine, sliding my other arm firmly around her tiny waist.A soft gasp escapes her lips as our bodies collide, but she doesn't pull away. This is going to end terribly for me, but it is too late. She is in my arms.

NATHANIELHalf an hour ago, I was fine. Or at least, I was successfully pretending to be.When we first started making the rounds, Betty was practically vibrating with nerves. Her fingers had stayed curled tightly around my forearm, pressing so hard I could feel her anxiety through my jacket. And every time, I subtly squeezed her arm against my side, a silent promise that I was right there. That she was safe.But after the second couple brushed us off with polite, uninterested nods, I felt the fight drain completely out of her."I'm just wasting my time," she had whispered, staring at the floor. "Everyone is already judging me.""So what? You are doing fine," I said."It’s easy for you to say. They hear the Blackwell name and the doors just open."I had stopped, forcing her to look at me. "Then take advantage of the Blackwell standing right next to you," I told her, keeping my voice low and steady. "Make them listen."It was meant to give her a small push. To give her a shield. I had

BETTYI remain there standing, shaking my head, not knowing if I should be furious that he made me the center of a public spectacle, or incredibly flattered that he just risked his mother's wrath to defend me.He closes the final foot of space between us and reaches out, his large, warm hand gently wrapping around mine, giving my fingers a reassuring squeeze."Are you okay?"I blink, the heat of his touch sending a jolt straight up my arm, and I slowly pull my hand away, turning to place my clutch on the marble counter to give my shaking hands something to do.He steps in right beside me, his shoulder brushing mine."You didn't have to do that," I mutter, swallowing the thick lump in my throat.He turns fully to face me and leans his forearm against the counter, bringing his face dangerously close to mine."I actually did, Betty," he says, his voice dropping into a quiet, intimate register meant only for us. "For years, I stood back and let my mother and her friends treat you like an

BETTY“You are just dragging him along.”Rhys’s parting words play on a relentless, brutal loop in my head as I trace the rim of the glass with my index finger, letting the heavy, uncomfortable weight of his accusation settle into my bones.I grab my clutch and pivot away from the counter, desperate to find a bathroom, a quiet hallway, anywhere to process the guilt, but instead, I spot Eleanor.She is weaving through the guests with three of her most dedicated sycophants trailing right behind her. They move in a synchronized, aggressive glide, their eyes pinned unblinkingly on me.I let my head drop back for a of a second, and I blow out a long, drained sigh. I simply do not have the bandwidth for a high-society theatrical performance tonight.I step to the left, aiming for a small gap between a chatting couple to slip away, but the second I move, the couple shifts their weight, stepping in unison to block my path. I click my tongue, pivoting to the right, but two of Eleanor’s friends

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

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

BETTYI can’t bring myself to go back home yet, probably because I’m still riding the strange high from the meeting I just had with Amanda.There is something else I need to do first, something I’ve been avoiding for far too long, and because for the first time in a long while I feel like I’m done

BETTYThe Virnkirk’s really do know how to throw a party.Every corner of this house hums with quiet wealth, soft jazz, expensive laughter, and glasses chiming like silver bells.I look around and recognize more faces than I expect to. Most of them are always on Harriette’s guest list and part of he

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
