BETTY

The words don’t just hang in the air between us; they suck the oxygen entirely out of the atmosphere, leaving the entire cemetery plunged into a vacuum.

The faint rustle of the wind through the oak trees vanishes, and the oppressive heat of the afternoon sun suddenly goes ice-cold against my skin.

My lungs are completely paralyzed, as I stare up at him, my eyes wide and unblinking, my mind violently glitching.

I am waiting for the punchline.

So I stare at his mouth, bracing myself for the

It's painfully too late. Sad. If I were Betty, I would stay with Rhys. Yeah sure, you can't entirely blame Nathaniel. He was put in a situation like that but only he did listen to Betty even just once. But for 7 years, he let anger consumed him when he could have investigated what happened.

No, you don't just grab it like that. You don't treat people like trash and regret it and suddenly everything is okay! You have to pay for it. You have to earn it.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 229

    NATHANIELI pull the phone away from my ear and stare at the darkened screen. Betty is sick?My grip tightens around the glass in my other hand until it twitches under the pressure. “Where the hell is she sick? Is it serious? Has she gone to the hospital?”“No. Stop it,” I tell myself, squeezing my eyes shut. “She is fine. She has someone taking care of her. Rhys must be there. It’s no longer your concern. She has her people.”I toss the phone back onto the desk and down the rest of the scotch before I sit back down and open my laptop. I actually hover my hand over the keyboard, genuinely debating calling Martha to ask her what the hell I am supposed to do with this suffocating panic. But that would be too pathetic. I have a company to reclaim.I force the laptop shut again, grab my suit jacket, and walk out to my waiting car.Rhys was supposed to be there today. We are supposed to co-host the meeting, but there is no way he will leave her bedside. He is taking care of her. And as muc

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 228

    NATHANIELMy brain feels like it has been put through a meat grinder.I just finished my fifth virtual therapy session with Martha, and all I want to do is put my fist through the mahogany wall. I thought these sessions were supposed to make you feel better. Instead, I feel like I am being flayed alive by a middle-aged woman in a beige cardigan.After my absolute meltdown in the closet a few nights ago, Harriette suggested I see a professional. Naturally, I thought it was a ridiculous, insulting thing to say. I already knew exactly what my problem was, and I certainly didn't need a stranger with a notepad pointing it out.But after spending the entire night suffocating in my own misery on the closet floor, I realized my way had cost me my entire world, and also, I had nothing left to lose.The next morning, an unmarked business card magically appeared on my nightstand. Harriette’s doing, and I held the thick card in my hand for a long time, just staring at the therapist's phone number

    BETTY"Don’t be mad, Betty. You were finally starting to be happy, and then I saw those pictures. I knew if I told you, it would just stir up his ghost, and I didn’t want to see you upset," he went ahead to explain, his tone thick with a quiet pleading.I looked at him, and honestly, in that moment, I wasn't mad. Too much had already happened. Compared to the rest of the chaos, it felt like something too small to dwell on."It’s okay," I said softly. And I meant it.I took a slow sip of my water. Rhys took a sip of his black coffee, and a heavy, suffocating silence settled over the table again. It felt like neither of us knew how to navigate the minefield between us, until I finally forced myself to speak."I am sorry, too. For not explaining myself to you when I left the estate," I murmured. "You deserved to know. It’s just... at that moment, I couldn’t put what I was feeling into words. I was so confused, so overwhelmed, my brain just shut down."Rhys let out a long sigh, his grip t

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S FORGOTTEN WIFE: My Husband's Redemption   CHAPTER 226

    BETTYI am buried under a mountain of blankets on my couch, wearing a massive oversized hoodie, baggy sweatpants, and thick socks, with a messy bun that hasn't seen a comb in at least three days.Wadded-up tissues litter the floor and my lap like a tragic, snot-covered snowfall, and to complete the absolute horror of my current aesthetic, I have two rolled-up pieces of tissue wedged directly into my nostrils to stop the endless dripping.A violent tickle builds in the back of my chest, and I hack so hard my entire body jolts, sounding like a dying seal.Hk-hk-hk-wheeze.I peel my watery, swollen eyes open just in time to see Lucy freeze by the front door. She is dressed to the nines—a razor-sharp blazer, perfect makeup, looking every inch the high-powered executive —caught completely off guard, one stiletto hovering in midair as she tries to tiptoe past the biohazard zone that is my living room.Hk-hk. I cough again, and I watch her physically jolt, raising her hands to shield herself

    NATHANIELThe rest of the evening passes in a suffocating, muted blur.Rhys left. I watched his car disappear down the drive, and in the process I took all the dark, violent panic rising in my chest and shoved it down into a steel box.I try to make it through dinner. I sit at the head of the table, cutting my steak, keeping my answers short to every question asked. My mother doesn't notice a thing; she is entirely focused on nursing her Chardonnay. Harriette, on the other hand, every time I look up, her sharp, assessing eyes are locked onto me from across the table, reading the cracks in my posture. But I avoid her gaze and focus entirely on Grace.I play the good father. I help with her dinner, and I hang out with her in the living room for a while before I carry her up the stairs to her room. I read her a story until her eyes flutter shut, tuck the blankets under her chin, and kiss her forehead—even though the entire time, my brain is actively trying to kill me.I go straight back

    RHYSI walk slowly up the remaining stone steps, one hand tucked casually into the pocket of my leather jacket, my black boots heavy on the stone.I stop at the top, right in front of him, and for a long, tense moment, neither of us says a word. We just stare at each other, jaws clenched and all, until finally, Nathaniel gives a single, tight nod."Rhys. I can see you are recovering well."I narrow my eyes, and I look away, staring out over the sprawling, manicured lawns of the estate, before dragging my gaze back to his. "Anything I can do for you, Nathaniel?" I ask, cutting straight through the pleasantries.Nathaniel scoffs. A dark, humorless smirk touches his lips before he steps aside, gesturing to the open doors. "Actually, yes. Let's talk in the study, shall we?"I linger on the threshold as a heavy sigh escapes my chest, because I know exactly where this is going. It’s either about the shareholders, or worse—it’s about Betty. But because I don't have the energy to argue on the

    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’ve been avoiding Rhys since the day he found me at the cemetery.The way his arms wrapped around me, and how I clung to him longer than I should have, hasn’t left my mind since.He didn’t pull away. He didn’t say a word. He just let me stay there, quietly breaking against him, and it didn’t
