Chapter 99

Author: Maya Nightingale
Hannah’s POV

Several years had passed since Max started coming and going from the villa in East Coast on a regular basis.

The butler and housekeepers all knew about our relationship by now. It was openly acknowledged, no longer something we had to hide. A guest room had been prepared for Max, but so that I could get to the children quickly if they woke up in the middle of the night or something happened, his room was placed right next to mine. His belongings had slowly increased, and one corne

  • The 10-Million Dollars Divorce: My Missing Wife, Her Hidden Pregnancy, and My Regret   Chapter 100

    Ethan’s POVEven after arriving right in front of the villa in East Coast, I lost my nerve.I parked the car a short distance away, hiding behind a patch of trees, and could do nothing but watch from afar.I wished Hannah would step outside.I wondered what she’d do if I showed myself. Would she be shocked? Angry? Or would she turn away from me completely?That small hope tangled with the fear of rejection, and in the end, I couldn’t take a single step forward. All I could do was stare at the front door of the villa and pray she would come out on her own.Just then, a car passed me, the driver clearly familiar with this road. The steering was smooth, confident.And then it pulled straight into the driveway of the very villa I’d been watching.My stomach dropped.Driving like he’d been here countless times.No way…My worst suspicion was confirmed.The man who stepped out of the car was Max.Without hesitation, he pressed the intercom, clearly used to doing so, and waited fo

    Hannah’s POVSeveral years had passed since Max started coming and going from the villa in East Coast on a regular basis.The butler and housekeepers all knew about our relationship by now. It was openly acknowledged, no longer something we had to hide. A guest room had been prepared for Max, but so that I could get to the children quickly if they woke up in the middle of the night or something happened, his room was placed right next to mine. His belongings had slowly increased, and one corner of the villa had completely become his space.While the children were at kindergarten, Max would often pick me up by car and we’d steal a little time together.Sometimes we’d go for a drive to a scenic spot. Other times, we’d browse shops I normally never had the chance to visit. On birthdays or anniversaries, we’d go out for dinner. Sharing a bottle of wine and eating at the top floor of a hotel felt like stepping into another world, so different from my busy everyday life. Max always held

    Ethan’s POV“But honestly, no matter how much we sit here and think about it, we’re just guessing,” Steven said, suddenly sounding almost blunt. “If you really want the truth, wouldn’t it make more sense for you to go see her yourself?”His shift caught me off guard, and I snapped without thinking.“Hey, why would you jump to that? My head’s already a mess because of those photos.”“I get that it probably hurt to realize Hannah wasn’t waiting for you,” Steven said evenly. “But you’re the one who kept hiring a private investigator because you believed you wouldn’t know the truth unless you saw her for yourself, right? Well, now you’ve found her. The job’s done. All that’s left is for you to move.”He didn’t flinch at my emotional pushback. He just laid out the facts, calm and precise. And because he was right, I had nothing to say.Ever since I saw how completely Linda had changed, I started to believe Hannah had been driven out by one of her cruel schemes. That she’d been forced

    Ethan’s POV“This is Hannah… and the Jefferson’s personal doctor, right? The two of them kind of—”I cut Steven off before he could finish. If those words came out of his mouth, the tiny bit of hope I was still clinging to felt like it would shatter completely.“Don’t. Don’t say it.”At my sharp reaction, Steven fell silent and studied my face closely. A few seconds passed. Then he let out a quiet sigh.“So that’s why you’ve been like this,” he said. “Did you really think Hannah was waiting for you to come get her?”The question hit too close to home. I stiffened, flustered, and rushed to deny it.“N-No. That’s not what I thought.”But my voice betrayed me. It was unsteady, too quick. Steven didn’t react. He simply lowered his gaze back to the photos.“Still, these pictures complicate things,” he said calmly. “Hannah cut ties with her family. No one knew where she was. Doesn’t it strike you as strange that the family’s personal doctor knows exactly where she is?”While I was

    Ethan’s POV“Didn’t you say you might have found Hannah? You sounded so happy. So why do you look like this now? Don’t tell me it turned out to be the wrong person.”The moment I heard back from the investigator, I couldn’t contain myself and called Steven right away. He rushed over between meetings, but the instant he saw how drained I looked, confusion flickered across his face.“…This.”I didn’t explain anything. I just handed him my phone.Steven took it and slowly scrolled through the screen, examining each photo one by one. My eyes followed the movement of his fingers, pulled back again to the images I couldn’t stop staring at. Hannah. The children. Their calm, ordinary days. Even from a distance, the sense of happiness was unmistakable.“This… is definitely Hannah, isn’t it?”There was a note of surprise in Steven’s voice, but also certainty.“Yeah. I’m sure it’s her. We even have the address.”When I said that, Steven let out a quiet, “Oh…” He kept scrolling. By the ti

    Ethan’s POVThe call from the private investigator came about two months after my trip to East Coast. He sounded unusually excited.“Mr. Harrison, we found someone who closely matches the profile, along with a household that includes a pair of twins. We’ve identified the residence and I’m sending you several photos and the location data right now.”His voice was filled with excitement and pride, and even through the phone I could feel how big this was for him.“Got it. Thank you. Send everything immediately.”I hung up, my hands trembling. Maybe I’d finally see Hannah again. Maybe this time I could actually talk to her. After years of searching with nothing to show for it, the thought that she might finally be within reach made my heart race so hard I couldn’t sit still.Ping—A few minutes later, my phone chimed. I opened the email and pulled up the photos.They were a little grainy, clearly taken from a distance. But the woman in the images was unmistakable.It was Hannah—th
