Chapter 149

Ethan's POV

My voice came out low, dangerous, stripped of any remaining patience. “What the fuck is going on?”

I was glaring at my mother now, my entire body vibrating with barely contained rage.

Mrs. Daniels, who had been quietly arranging flowers in the corner, must have sensed the shift in atmosphere. She glanced between us once, her eyes widening slightly, then quickly excused herself.

"I'll just… check on dinner," she mumbled, practically fleeing the room.

  • The Billionaire Ex-Wife's Return   #298

    Chapter 298 Ethan's POV I sat on the side of the road, my back against a fence post, staring at the drawing in my hands. Cynthia's face looked back at me from the crumpled paper, her eyes seeming to ask a question I couldn't answer. What now? I had no idea. The police wouldn't help. Gavin had given me an ultimatum. And I had nowhere to go, no resources, no plan beyond this desperate need to find a woman I could barely remember. Tears blurred my vision, making the drawing swim in front of me. I failed. Failed to convince the police to help. Failed to make anyone believe me. Failed to do anything except prove that I was exactly as helpless and lost as I'd been six months ago when Gavin first found me. The first drops of rain started falling. Soft at first, then harder, until it was coming down in sheets, soaking through my clothes, plastering my hair to my forehead. I looked down at the drawing, watching in horror as the paper started to darken with moisture, the pencil line

    Chapter 297 Ethan's POV I didn't sleep. The drawing in front of me wasn't perfect—my artistic skills were limited at best, and working with just a pencil and cheap paper didn't help. I stared at the drawing, my heart pounding. Gavin's ultimatum echoed in my mind. Stay and let her go, or leave and see how far your obsession gets you. But it wasn't an obsession. It was love. Bone-deep, soul-certain love that I couldn't explain but couldn't deny. And I had to try. Even if Gavin kicked me out. Even if I ended up homeless and starving. Even if Cynthia had moved on or didn't want me back or never existed in the way I remembered. I had to try. Because my heart wouldn't rest until I knew the truth. … The moment the sun was fully up, I grabbed the drawing and headed out. I didn't tell Gavin where I was going. I just walked out of the farmhouse and started the long trek into the nearest station. The police station was exactly as I remembered it from my previous visit months ag

    Chapter 296 Cynthia's POV Nathaniel's face hardened, his jaw setting in that stubborn way that meant he'd already made up his mind and nothing I said would change it. "I'm going to tell Mom," he said firmly. "She needs to know what Julian is doing. What he's become." "What he's become?" I repeated, my voice rising. "Nathaniel, he hasn't become anything. He's always been gay. This isn't something that happened to him. This is who he is." "It's wrong," Nathaniel said, his voice tight with conviction. "It's ungodly. It goes against everything we were raised to believe, everything our family stands for." "Everything you believe," I shot back. "Not everyone in this family shares your rigid, judgmental view of the world." Nathaniel stepped closer, his expression a mixture of anger and something that looked almost like desperation. "Julian needs to come back to his senses," he said. "He needs to understand that this... this lifestyle he's chosen is unacceptable. That he's putting the

    Chapter 295 Bryan's POV I looked Grace directly in the eyes, keeping my voice cold and controlled. "I don't actually give a fuck about whatever drama is going on between you, Anna, and Pascal," I said bluntly. "That's your mess to sort out. What I do care about is making sure you never get found." Grace's eyebrows rose slightly. "Because if the police catch you," I continued, "they'll make you talk. They'll get information about where you took Ethan, where you dumped him, every detail of what happened that night. And that trail will lead them to finding him." I stepped closer, my voice dropping lower. "And I can't let that happen," I said. "Right now, I don't know if Ethan is dead or alive. And honestly? It's better not to know. Better for everyone if he just stays... gone." Grace stared at me for a moment. Then she burst out laughing. The sound was sharp and mocking, echoing off the walls of the alley we were standing in. "This is hilarious," Grace said, wiping at her eyes

    Chapter 294 Cynthia's POV Amber had finally fallen asleep. After all the tears, after all the promises I'd made that I desperately hoped I could keep, after holding him close and feeling his small body shake with sobs, he'd exhausted himself into sleep. I'd stayed with him for a while longer, watching his chest rise and fall, his face peaceful in a way it so rarely was when he was awake. I'm going to fix this, I'd promised silently, brushing his hair back from his forehead. I'm going to bring your father home. Finally, I'd slipped out of his room, closing the door quietly behind me. Helen had been in the hallway, her expression sympathetic. "He's been asking about Ethan more lately," she'd said softly. "I think seeing the news coverage... it's making it harder for him to pretend everything's okay." "I know," I'd said. "But we're close now. The police have real leads. We're going to find him." Helen had nodded, but I could see the doubt in her eyes. The same doubt everyone s

    Chapter 293 Bryan's POVGrace struggled in my grip, twisting violently, trying to wrench herself free. "Let me go!" she hissed, her voice sharp with panic. "Let me go or I'll…" "I'm not going to report you to the police," I said quickly, tightening my hold just enough to keep her from bolting. "Grace, listen to me. I'm not here to turn you in." She froze, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "Then what the hell are you doing here?" she demanded. I took a breath, keeping my voice calm and measured. "I came here for selfish reasons," I said. "Reasons that have nothing to do with the police or turning you in or any of that. You don't need to be concerned about me." Grace's expression shifted from panic to confusion. "Selfish reasons," she repeated slowly, studying my face. "What does that mean?" "It means we might actually want the same thing," I said carefully. Grace stared at me for a long moment, her breathing still ragged, clearly trying to decide if I was lying or setting s

    Chapter 137 Cynthia’s POV I took the call and placed it on loudspeaker. Kevin was more curious than I was to hear from Matilda. I guess love really is hard to die. Matilda sounded very cryptic, couldn’t even read any emotions to her request. “Hi, Cynthia. Can we meet?” I didn’t know wha
