The Billionaire Ex-Wife's Return #284
Chapter 284Cynthia's POVI was still catching my breath, my heart pounding from the sprint, when Detective Susan appeared beside Kevin's car.Her expression was a mixture of frustration and disapproval."Ms. Cynclair," she said, her tone sharp. "I specifically told you to stay back and let us handle this.""I know," I said, not backing down. "But…""No buts," Detective Susan interrupted. "This is an active investigation. A potentially dangerous situation. You could have compromised the entire operation."Kevin stepped forward, placing himself slightly between me and the detective."With all due respect, Detective," he said, "if Cynthia hadn't been here, you wouldn't have noticed that guy in the hoodie approaching. Her alertness is what alerted your team."Detective Susan's jaw tightened."That may be true," she said. "But it doesn't change the fact that civilians have no business being at an active scene. You both need to leave. Now.""No," I said firmly.Detective Susan's eyebrows s

Chapter 283Third Person POVAnna sat back in her chair, her expression calculating despite the tears still wet on her cheeks."I'll take you to the place," she said quietly. "But I need guarantees."Detective Susan raised an eyebrow. "Guarantees?""A comfortable prison," Anna said, meeting the detective's gaze steadily. "Less restrictive. Protection from Grace and Pascal if they're ever caught. And assurance that Hayden will be cared for properly while I'm serving my sentence."Detective Susan's jaw tightened. "You're in no position to make demands, Ms. Walker.""Then I guess you'll have to find the cabin on your own," Anna replied, her voice hardening slightly. "Good luck with that. It's not on any official records. Jerome bought it under a shell company that doesn't exist anymore."Cynthia leaned forward, her hands flat on the table."Anna," she said quietly. "Please. If you know where Ethan is, just tell us. Don't make this about…""I'm not making this about anything except surviv

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

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 146 Ethan’s POV The moment I ended the call with child services and sent them the address, my hands were shaking so badly I almost dropped my phone. I stood there for a second in the dim hallway outside Anna’s apartment, breathing hard, trying to slow my racing thoughts. My chest felt tig

Chapter 157Cynthia's POVI watched Amber disappear up the stairs, his footsteps growing fainter with each step as he headed toward his room. He didn’t look back. He trusted me enough not to. That thought twisted painfully in my chest.Only when I heard the soft, unmistakable click of his door clos

Chapter 161Ethan’s POV“No.”The word came out sharp and immediate, cutting through the air before I had time to soften it or think it through.“No way you’re taking my son to your men’s house.”The silence that followed was brief, but heavy. The kind that presses against your chest and makes you

Chapter 148Cynthia's POVNathaniel didn't waste time with pleasantries when I met him downstairs after he'd sent me a message barely ten minutes into what was supposed to be my attempt at rest.His expression was grim, focused — the kind of look that meant he'd been piecing together a puzzle in his
