The Billionaire Ex-Wife's Return #282
Chapter 282Cynthia's POVI didn't even bother grabbing my coat.Didn't tell the contractor I was leaving.Didn't do anything except follow Kevin out of the restaurant and into his car, my heart pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears.Anna had been found and she should know where Ethan is.Kevin drove like a man possessed, weaving through traffic, running yellow lights, his jaw clenched tight."Where did they find her?" I asked, my voice shaking."Abandoned motel on the east side of the city," Kevin said. "She'd been hiding there for months. The investigators tracked her through a cash withdrawal she made last week. Stupid mistake on her part.""Is she okay?" I asked.Kevin shot me a look. "Why do you care if she's okay?""Because she helped us," I said. "She let us go. She…""She also sabotaged your restaurant and worked with Grace to kidnap you in the first place," Kevin interrupted sharply. "Don't forget that."I fell silent, because he was right.Anna had done terrible things
The Billionaire Ex-Wife's Return #281
Chapter 281Cynthia's POVFive months since Ethan had disappeared from that warehouse, leaving behind nothing but blood and unanswered questions.One hundred and fifty-two days of waking up each morning and forcing myself to believe that today might be the day we'd finally get answers, living in a suspended state between hope and despair, between moving forward and standing completely still.But I hadn't given up.I'd promised Kevin I wouldn't, and I'd meant it.So I'd pulled myself together, piece by painful piece. I'd gotten out of bed. I'd started eating regularly again. I'd left Amber at Nathaniel and Helen's visiting as often as possible and promising him that things would get better, even though I wasn't entirely sure I believed it myself.And I'd started building something new.A restaurant here in Missford.Not to replace Maison Cynclair in Paris, but to give myself something to focus on besides the endless waiting. Something concrete and real that I could pour my energy into

Chapter 280Cynthia's POVKevin's shoulders shook as he cried, his hands gripping mine tightly, like he was afraid I might disappear if he let go."This is my fault," he said, his voice breaking. "All of it. If I'd just followed you into the hospital that day—if I hadn't stayed in the car like an idiot—maybe none of this would have happened."I blinked slowly, his words filtering through the fog that had wrapped around my mind for weeks."Kevin…" I started, my voice hoarse from disuse."I know…" Kevin interrupted, wiping roughly at his eyes. "I let you go in alone. I knew something felt wrong. I knew you were taking too long. But I didn't trust my gut. I didn't go check on you when I should have."He looked at me, and the guilt in his eyes was so raw it hurt to see."And now Ethan's gone," Kevin said. "And you're... you're disappearing too, Cici. Right in front of me. And I don't know how to stop it."Tears burned at the corners of my own eyes."Every morning," Kevin continued, his vo

Chapter 279Cynthia's POVSix weeks. Six damn weeks! Fucking forty-two days. One thousand and eight hours.I'd stopped counting after the first month. What was the point?The numbers didn't change anything.Didn't bring Ethan back or make the pain any less suffocating.The police had officially scaled back the search.They didn't announce it publicly — there was no press conference, no formal statement — but I could tell.The phone calls from the Detective became less frequent.Once a day became every other day.Then once a week, then nothing.The last time we spoke, she'd used the word "unlikely.""It's unlikely we'll find Mr. Walker at this point, Ms. Cynclair."Such a polite way of saying impossible, a fucking gentle way of saying give up.The media had already made their conclusions.The headlines shifted from hopeful to resigned to outright morbid."Ethan Walker: Six Weeks Missing, Presumed Dead""Forensic Experts: Blood Loss Would Have Been Fatal""Police Believe Body May Have B

Chapter 278Cynthia's POVTwo weeks, fourteen days, three hundred and thirty-six hours.I'd counted every single one.And still, there was no sign of Ethan.The police were useless.Completely, utterly useless.Every day, Detective Susan would call with the same non-update."We're still searching, Ms. Cynclair.""We've expanded our efforts.""We're following every lead."But they had nothing.No sightings of Grace or Pascal, no trace of Anna.No evidence of where they'd taken Ethan.Nothing.Just empty promises and hollow reassurances that did absolutely nothing to bring him back.I was losing my mind.I knew I was.Everyone around me could see it.The way I'd stopped sleeping properly, surviving on maybe two or three hours a night before nightmares jolted me awake.The way I'd stopped eating regularly, forcing down a few bites only when someone literally sat beside me and insisted.The way I'd started pacing the mansion at all hours, unable to sit still, unable to rest, unable to do

Chapter 277Cynthia's POVNew Year's Eve came and went.Fireworks lit up the Missford skyline at midnight—bright bursts of color against the dark winter sky, celebrating a fresh start, new beginnings, hope for the year ahead.But I felt none of it.I stood at the window of my bedroom, watching the celebrations from a distance, feeling completely disconnected from the joy everyone else seemed to feel.Somewhere out there, Ethan was dying.And I was here, safe and warm, while he suffered.The guilt was crushing.…The next morning — New Year's Day — brought no news.No updates from the police.No sightings of Grace or Pascal.No sign of Ethan.Nothing.Just silence.And that silence was worse than any bad news could have been.Because at least bad news would have been something.At least I would have known.Detective Susan called in the afternoon, her voice carefully neutral."We're still searching, Ms. Cynclair," she said. "We've expanded the radius. We're checking abandoned buildings,

Chapter 124 Cynthia's POV “What?” "You've been on your phone an awful lot," Julian observed from his position on the couch, looking at me over the rim of his wine glass with that knowing older brother expression. I looked up from my screen, where I'd been rereading Nikolai's lunch invitation f

Chapter 117 Ethan's POV While I followed Cynthia's car to the restaurant, keeping a safe distance so she wouldn't spot me in her rearview mirror, I remembered Sienna immediately. Devian's cousin. The woman who had sat on my lap back at the club months ago and fought with Anna, creating a scen

Chapter 118 Cynthia's POV I just couldn't waste anymore time. I had waited five minutes, watching through the window as that woman touched Bryan inappropriately, invaded his personal space, made a spectacle of herself—and it looked like she wasn't going to leave anytime soon. I doubt I nee
