BETTY

In my head, I had convinced myself that if I changed the dress, took a few deep breaths, and focused on enjoying the evening, the entire conversation with Nathaniel would simply fade into the background where it belonged.

Clearly, I had been lying to myself.

“You can tell me,” Rhys insists, his eyes steady on mine, “Whatever it is.”

I glance across the booth toward Lucy and George, but they are far too absorbed in each other to notice anything happening around them.

I fold my lips into a

Finally a book in which the woman doesn't just raise children alone - without any personal life - dreaming of her ex, but follows her path by entering another relationship. I look forward to the sequel.

    NATHANIEL.At last, the tapes were in my possession.Getting them had cost more than I anticipated, money, favors, and a small piece of pride I would rather not think about, but the box now sitting in my hands made every compromise feel insignificant.The problem, however, is that Cavendish did not give me only the footage from that specific night.Instead, the man delivered an entire archive covering nearly a month of recordings from the Pearl, which means the box in my hands contains far more material than I originally planned to sift through.Hours of surveillance footage. Possibly days. But none of that discourages me. If anything, it strengthens my resolve.I reach the estate in the late afternoon, carrying the box through the front door without acknowledging anyone who crosses my path, and head straight for the study.I needed somewhere private and quiet to sit through them, and this was the only place I could think of.I push the door open and stop when I see Rhys standing besi

    BETTYI took the entire afternoon off from work today to spend some time with Grace because it was a half-day at her school.It had been a while since the two of us had a proper day out together, and somewhere in the back of my mind, I knew she needed it just as much as I did.So the moment she climbed into my car with her backpack bouncing against her shoulder, we drove straight to the mall.Our first stop was the toy store. We walked through the entrance, and Grace’s eyes immediately found the Barbie doll she had been eying for some time now.I was planning to get it for her on her birthday, which is a few weeks away, but being with her now, I couldn’t resist. “Mom! Are you serious?” Her entire face lights up when I place the box in her hands.“Yes. Baby.”She squeezes it next to her chest and jumps up and down before hugging my legs. “You are the best mom ever!”I’ll take that.Of course, the Barbie did not remain alone in the shopping cart. A few other toys mysteriously found th

    NATHANIEL“Nathaniel Blackwell,” he says the moment I get closer, his tone laced with amusement. “I never imagined I would see the day you request a meeting with me. Whatever you need must be very important.”I slide into the chair opposite him, forcing a small smirk onto my face even though I can already feel the tension settling into my shoulders.“Hello, William,” I reply with a neutral tone, “I’m sure we would have met eventually. After all, we are both businessmen.”He studies me for a moment, clearly aware that the pleasantries are nothing more than polite theater, and clears his throat.“So,” he says, leaning back slightly. “What do you need from me?”“Straight to the point, good,” I respond, but I am met with a soft chuckle as he rises from his seat.“But not yet. Let’s play a round first.”My jaw tightens at the diversion, though I keep my expression neutral as he gestures toward the golf course.Shit. I am about to have a long day.The golf cart hums quietly as we cross the

    NATHANIELOver the past several days, securing a meeting with The Pearl's management has proven far more difficult than I anticipated.I began by sending emails personally, assuming that my name alone would be enough to guarantee a response, but the replies I received were nothing more than automated politeness disguised as professionalism.When that failed, I resorted to calling the establishment several times a day, only to be met with the same rehearsed explanation every single time: they were hosting back-to-back events and were not currently accepting meetings.At first, I attempted patience, but that lasted approximately forty-eight hours.Eventually, I lost whatever restraint I had left and made it very clear to the unfortunate employee answering the phone that I did not want a meeting in the conventional sense.I wanted information, and the sooner someone with authority understood that distinction, the better it would be for everyone involved. But unfortunately, the message di

    BETTY“There’s a lot you still don’t know about me, Betty, now go upstairs before you jinx it.”I fold my lips together, pretending to be unimpressed even though the gesture has already softened something inside me.“Fiiine,” I draw out the word dramatically before turning toward the staircase.Upstairs, I head straight for the bathroom, already thinking about how good a shower will feel after spending the entire day surrounded by dust, paint fumes, and construction noise.But the moment I push the door open, I stop.Candles flicker softly along the edges of the counter and bathtub, their warm glow reflecting across the tiles and filling the entire room with a golden light.The bath has already been drawn, the water steaming gently, and the scent rising from it is something warm and calming that I cannot quite identify but immediately love.And next to the tub sits a glass of wine, carefully placed within reach, the final detail of a perfectly planned moment.My lips part as I take a

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 091

    BETTYThe days have been moving quite fast since I began renovating Mrs. Marshall’s penthouse, and I have barely had the time to notice how quickly the project is progressing.The walls are already finished and painted, the floors are halfway done, and if everything continues on schedule, we will soon begin installing the furniture and adding the final touches that will bring the entire space together.Fortunately, Mrs. Marshall has loved everything we have done so far, which has been both a relief and a new source of pressure. Especially since she stops by every few days, sometimes unexpectedly, just to walk through the space and see how things are coming along.She studies every detail with careful attention before giving a pleased nod or asking thoughtful questions about my design choices.Lucky for me, she made it clear from the beginning that money would not be a problem and that she wants only the best materials available on the market, though she always insists that my opinion
