NATHANIEL

I hate needles. Yeah, I said it.

I have hated them since I was a kid because the entire concept makes no sense to me.

Scientists managed to invent oral medication, anesthesia, artificial hearts, and machines that can practically keep people alive forever, but somehow nobody has figured out how to draw blood without stabbing someone first. Ridiculous.

I stare at the opposite wall while the nurse tightens a rubber band around my arm, searching for a vein as if there weren't hundreds of

He can change, yes, everyone can, but he can change on the other side of the world, without dragging others down with him.

For me, that excuse doesn't count, because first, he had no reason to resort to crime; he came from a privileged background. Second, he only left after enjoying the benefits for years...

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 179

    BETTYThe rest of the drive back to the estate passes in complete silence.Not the comfortable kind but the suffocating kind.My face stays turned toward the window while my thoughts spiral so fast I can barely hold onto one before another crashes into it.Nathaniel keeps insisting I need to wait for Rhys to explain everything himself, and the more he repeats that, the more terrified I become of whatever the hell happened in New York.Because what could possibly be so bad that Nathaniel Blackwell — a man who has never struggled saying cruel or uncomfortable things the whole time I have known him— suddenly cannot bring himself to tell me?The questions keep multiplying inside my head.What happened at that meeting? Who were those people? How did Nathaniel convince them to let Rhys go? Did he pay them? Threaten them? Make some kind of deal?Every possible answer feels worse than the last.And somewhere between all those thoughts, I manage to hear the loud metallic screech of the Blackwe

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 178

    NATHANIELEverything around me is happening too fast for me to properly catch my breath.One moment, I was seated beside Rhys’s hospital bed, staring at the rise and fall of his chest, terrified that if I so much as blinked, he would stop breathing, and the next, Nathaniel was storming into the room with two doctors behind him, announcing that we were leaving New York tonight.As if Rhys had not almost died a few hours ago.I tried reasoning with him. Told him we should stay another day just to make sure Rhys was stable before putting him on a plane, but my request fell on deaf ears.I even pulled him aside outside the room at one point, hoping if we spoke privately, he would soften enough to hear me out, but the second we were alone, I realized the man standing in front of me no longer resembled the version I met at the hotel.That softer edge? Gone. That concern I kept catching in his eyes? Gone too.“We can’t stay,” he muttered while signing paperwork one-handed without even lookin

Ridiculous.I stare at the opposite wall while the nurse tightens a rubber band around my arm, searching for a vein as if there weren't hundreds of them already visible.“Just pick one and ruin my morning quickly.”I glance at her once, and she must catch whatever look crosses my face because she lets out a small laugh before untying the band and reaching for the needle.I immediately turn my head the other way and shut my eyes.Fuck.If someone could see me right now, they would never take me seriously again. At this point, my Seven-year-old daughter handles needles better than I do.A sharp sting pierces my skin, then nothing.I crack one

    BETTYUnlike the ground floor, this one is completely empty. No nurses, no doctors rushing around, no visitors speaking in hushed voices. No machines beeping.It’s just a long, polished hallway stretching endlessly beneath white lights.A strange chill crawls over my skin.“Am I on the wrong floor?” I whisper, glancing around nervously, my eyes moving toward the waiting areaEmpty.The nurses' station? Empty too.“Was the receptionist wro…”Before I say wrong, the word dies in my throat the second I spot him across the hallway, pacing back and forth outside a hospital room.The knot inside my chest loosens. Not completely. But enough for me to finally breathe.I didn’t think there would ever have been a moment in my life where seeing Nathaniel Blackwell brought me comfort, yet somehow? Right now it does.I start moving toward him quickly, my heels echoing through the empty corridor.The sound pulls his attention, and he stops pacing, turning in my direction. The second I properly see

    BETTYAfter not hearing from Nathaniel for hours, I finally get a text.“Get a cab. Come to Hudson Memorial. Tell no one where you are going.”That’s it. No explanation. No reassurance that Rhys is alive. Nothing. Just seven words that immediately send my stomach twisting into knots.I call him the second I read the message, but it goes straight to voicemail every single time.By the fourth attempt, I stop trying because my hands are shaking too hard to hold the phone properly.A terrible feeling settles inside my chest after that. Heavy. Suffocating. The kind that makes breathing feel like work.And the worst part? I have absolutely no one to tell. No one to scream at. No one to demand answers from.I spent the entire morning dodging Harriette’s calls like a criminal avoiding arrest. At some point, she even started calling from different numbers after realizing I kept ignoring her first one.The texts kept coming too.Betty, where are you? Did you find Rhys? Please answer me, swee

Please read with care. ❤️NATHANIEL“What the hell is this?” I mutter, glancing between the papers and him. “You own a beach house? Am I supposed to be impressed?”The sarcasm barely lands before that disgusting grin stretches across his face.“As a matter of fact, yes,” he says proudly, tapping one thick finger against the transfer papers. “My latest purchase. Figured it was finally time I owned a little vacation home.”I stare at him blankly. Still not understanding what the hell any of this has to do with me. Or Rhys. Or why I am here.“You should see the interior of that place,” he continues, swirling the whiskey around his glass. “Beautiful work.”Still nothing. And he notices because amusement flickers across his face again.He leans back deeper into the booth, “I was very optimistic about our future arrangement. So op

    BETTYThe first thing I feel when I wake up is pain, and not the dull kind. It’s a sharp, pounding one that makes me feel like my brain is trying to claw its way out of my skull.I groan, opening my eyes slowly, and I lean back against the headboard, pressing my fingers to my temple, rubbing in slo
