Cynthia's POV

"Mom?" he whispered, walking toward me. "Mom, is that you?"

I looked at him, meeting his eyes and deliberately making no expression. I didn’t acknowledge him. I prepared for a day like this, no softening of the wall I'd built around my heart three years ago.

My driver moved smoothly, taking the briefcase from my hand and opening the car door. I stepped through without hesitation, without a backward glance.

He started to run towards me.

"Mom! Mom, you're still alive! Mom! It's me, Amber!"

The car door closed with a soft click, a barrier between us than any physical distance could be.

He reached the window, his small fists pounding against the glass desperately.

"Mom! Mom, don't you recognize me? I'm Amber!"

I forced myself to look away, staring instead at the windscreen. The security guys gently but firmly pulled him away from the car.

He didn't resist. He just kept crying, his voice muffled through the glass.

"Miss, are you okay?" My driver's eyes m

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife's Return   #28

    Chapter 28Cynthia's POVI'd survived brain surgery, humiliation, and three years of rebuilding myself from nothing, but standing in this glittering gala, watching Anna weave through the crowd like a predator stalking prey, my stomach twisted in a way that felt almost familiar.Almost like the old days, when I'd been too weak to fight back.I'd just returned from the restroom, then my gaze met Anna’s. She stood near one of the massive floral arrangements, champagne glass in hand, watching me with that calculating expression I knew too well. The crowd swirled around us, oblivious to the tension crackling between two women who'd once called each other sisters and are entangled with the same man.I made to walk past her, pretend I was fascinated by the orchids and kept moving.But she shifted, blocking my path with the practiced ease of someone who'd spent years positioning herself exactly where she needed to be."Cynthia," she cooed, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "Didn't expe

    Chapter 27Ethan’s POVAt first, I thought I was imagining it and my mind was playing tricks on me again.Guilt has a way of playing tricks on your mind, especially when you’ve spent three years drowning in it, but when our eyes met across the room, I knew she was real.Everything around me fell away. My heart pounded like it was trying to claw its way out of my chest, and I couldn’t understand why — because I didn’t think I had any deep feelings for her. Maybe I just missed her presence. I’d just spent years replaying the sound of her voice because I actually missed her, the way she used to say my name when she was tired or just barely holding it together.I miss her coffee, I miss her massage, I miss how she took care of Amber, so it is just missing her duties, not actually her person, right?She looked very beautiful and attractive in that dress, and I hated that she was beside Kevin Laurent. When would she come to her senses and come back home? Did she really lose her memory? Pe

    Chapter 26Cynthia’s POVThe car ride to the gala was supposed to be relaxing… soft jazz playing in the background, city lights slipping past like lazy fireflies, the kind of atmosphere where silence feels comfortable and elegant.But Kevin’s sulking had other plans.He sat beside me with his arms crossed, jaw tight, and an expression that could curdle milk. His reflection in the tinted window looked like a man contemplating a national tragedy, not a global F1 champion who had every reason to be smug. His foot tapped impatiently against the car mat, and every few seconds he’d sigh loudly like a teenager who’d just been grounded.I turned to him, biting back a smile. “Are you going to pout all evening?”“I’m not pouting,” he snapped without looking at me, his eyes still fixed on the dark city skyline outside.“Oh really?” I leaned slightly toward him, examining his face with exaggerated seriousness. “Because your lips have been sticking out for the past ten minutes, and your eyebrows a

    Chapter 25**Cynthia’s POV**After my brief speech earlier, the students had listened attentively, taken notes, and even smiled at me on their way out — though I could still sense the lingering curiosity in their eyes. I tried to keep myself composed and avoid Nikolai’s gaze during the lecture, but he kept staring at me in a way that made me feel shy and unsteady. I refused to let this young man — who I was sure I was at least eight years older than — make me feel like a flustered teenager.I was gathering my notes when Kevin appeared at the doorway, his usual grin plastered across his face.“Perfect timing,” I said, slinging my bag over my shoulder. “Let me guess, you’re here to make sure I don’t get mobbed by the paparazzi again?”Kevin chuckled. “Partly. Mostly because you promised me there’d be food at this gala we’re attending, and you know I don’t do empty stomachs and fancy speeches.”I rolled my eyes but smiled. “It’s not just any gala. It’s the Missford-European Trade Allia

    Chapter 24Cynthia's POVIt’s a brand new day, still recovering from the Marcus Chen incident and Ethan’s conversation with his friends and my brothers’ annoyance and threat to destroy Walker Industries. I could feel every eye on me as I walked into the lecture hall, the weight of their judgment pressing down like a physical force.They weren't even trying to hide it … some looked curious, some skeptical, and a few wore expressions of outright hostility.I set my notes on the podium with deliberate calm, though my hands wanted to shake. I wouldn't give them that satisfaction."Alright," I said, my voice cutting through the murmurs. "Let's clear the air, shall we?"The room went silent almost instantly. Two hundred pairs of eyes locked onto me, waiting… some with anticipation, others with barely concealed contempt."I know what's been said about me," I continued, forcing myself to meet their gazes one by one. We all saw what happened, the accusations... it was filmed and I’m trending

    Chapter 23Cynthia’s POVEthan sighed and lean back in his seat, his hand brushing over his face.“Maybe she’ll come back,” he said quietly, almost to himself. “Maybe she lost her memory or something. I don’t know. I just… I feel guilty and angry. She left because of me, I know that. But how could she leave Amber?”I turned my face slightly so Kevin wouldn’t see my eyes filling up.Devian let out a short laugh. “Oh, come on, Ethan. You didn’t even love her. Be honest, man. You should be glad she didn’t take Amber with her. At least this way you don’t have to deal with her showing up every time for child support.”Bryan nodded with a grin. “Exactly. Besides, Amber loves Anna. She’s been the one raising him anyway. She’s basically his mom now. And let’s not forget — Anna gave you Hayden. You’ve already got the perfect family. Why are you even stressing over Cynthia?”Exactly. Ethan should just focus on Anna and the child they share. As much as I cared about what they were saying, I coul
