THE RETURN OF THE BILLIONAIRE'S EX WIFE CHAPTER 87
FAMILY HEALING Rowan’s POV My heart thudded as I watched Ivy help Noah with his math homework at the kitchen table, her blonde hair spilling over one shoulder, her laughter soft as she teased him about a wrong answer. The safe house felt warmer today, the tension from Bella’s call yesterday fading like a bad dream. But the memory of Ivy’s voice, fierce and unyielding as she shut Bella down, still sent a spark through me. She’d stood her ground, and the way she’d looked at me after—hope and fear tangled in those green eyes—made me believe we could rebuild. I leaned against the counter, my coffee mug warm in my hands, and fought the urge to cross the room and pull her close. “Dad, you’re staring,” Noah said, glancing up with a grin that was so much like mine it stole my breath. The word—Dad—still hit me like a wave, new and precious after seven years of absence. Ivy’s head snapped up, her cheeks flushing as our eyes met. “Yeah, Rowan,” she said, her voice teasing but edged with

FACING BELLA Ivy’s POV My heart lurched when the phone rang, the unknown number flashing like a warning. Rowan’s hand, warm and steady, rested on mine, his thumb brushing my knuckles as we sat on the safe house porch. Noah’s laughter drifted from inside, a reminder of what we’d fought for, but the news of Bella’s secretary sighting in L.A. had left us both on edge. I glanced at Rowan, his gray eyes dark with concern, and the air between us hummed with unspoken tension. “Hello?” My voice came out sharper than I meant, and Rowan’s grip tightened, his body shifting closer, protective. “Ivy, darling,” Bella’s voice purred through the line, cold and venomous. “You’ve been busy, haven’t you? Ruining my plans, stealing Rowan back.” My blood ran cold, and I stood, pulling away from Rowan’s touch. His eyes narrowed, but he stayed quiet, watching me like a hawk. “Bella,” I said, my voice steady despite the churn in my stomach. “You’re in prison. It’s over.” Her laugh was sharp, cutting.

ETHAN’S FALL Rowan’s POV My shoulder throbbed under the bandage, but the pain was nothing compared to the fire in my chest as I watched Ivy across the safe house’s living room. She stood by the window, her blonde hair catching the morning light, her arms crossed tight like she was holding herself together. Last night’s conversation lingered between us—her words, her fear, the way she’d leaned into my touch but pulled back just as fast. I wanted to cross the room, pull her into my arms, and promise her everything, but the shadow of Ethan’s threats and Bella’s schemes kept me rooted. Noah was safe, but this wasn’t over. Not yet. I cleared my throat, breaking the silence. “Ivy, we need to talk about Ethan.” She turned, her green eyes wary but sharp. “What about him? He’s in custody, isn’t he?” I nodded, stepping closer, my hands itching to reach for her. “He is. My team’s working with the police to make sure he doesn’t slip through. But we need to file charges ourselves. Make i

AFTERMATH OF THE RESCUE Ivy’s POV My hands shook as I tucked Noah into bed, his small frame curled under the blanket in the safe house Rowan’s team had secured. His breathing was steady now, his face peaceful, but the memory of Ethan’s gun pressed to his temple clawed at my heart. I brushed a lock of hair from his forehead, my throat tight with the weight of what we’d almost lost. Rowan stood in the doorway, his shoulder bandaged, his black hair disheveled. “You okay?” Rowan’s voice was low, rough from exhaustion, but it carried a warmth that made my chest ache. He leaned against the doorframe. Even battered and bruised, he looked like he could carry the world for us. I nodded, not trusting my voice. I kissed Noah’s cheek, then stood, my legs unsteady as I crossed the room. Rowan’s gaze followed me, intense, like he was afraid I’d vanish if he looked away. I stopped inches from him, close enough to feel the heat radiating from his body. “He’s safe because of you,” I said, my

HEART ON THE LINE Ivy’s POV My heart slammed against my ribs as Ethan’s voice sliced through the warehouse, his gun pressed to Noah’s temple. My son’s wide, terrified eyes locked onto mine, and I froze, every instinct screaming to run to him, to shield him. Rowan’s blood soaked through his shirt, his shoulder wound seeping from the earlier shot, but he stood firm in front of me, his body a barrier between us and Ethan. The air crackled with tension, and I could feel Rowan’s determination radiating off him, mingling with my own fear and fury. “Ethan, please,” I begged, my voice shaking. “He’s just a kid. Let Noah go.” Ethan’s laugh was cold. “You think you can beg your way out of this, Ivy? You and your billionaire ex ruined me!” He jerked Noah closer, and my son whimpered, his small hands clutching Ethan’s arm. “Don’t move,” Rowan whispered, his voice low and steady, but his fingers trembled against my wrist. His gray eyes flicked to mine, a silent promise that he’d fix this.

A PARENT’S COURAGE Rowan’s POV The jet’s engines roared as we descended toward San Diego, but all I could hear was the pounding of my own heart. Ivy sat across from me, her green eyes fixed on the window, her fingers twisting the hem of her blouse. She hadn’t spoken since we left the penthouse. Noah was out there, in Ethan’s hands, and every second that ticked by felt like a betrayal of the son I’d only just begun to know. I leaned forward, my elbows on my knees, and forced myself to meet her gaze. “We’re going to find him, Ivy,” I said, my voice rougher than I intended. “I promise you.” She turned to me, her eyes flashing with a mix of anger and pain. “Don’t make promises you can’t keep, Rowan.” Her voice trembled, but there was steel beneath it. “Not again.” Her words cut deep, a reminder of the years I’d lost with her, with Noah. I reached across the narrow aisle, my hand hovering near hers, craving the contact but afraid she’d pull away. “I’m not that man anymore,” I said,
