The Billionaire Ex-Wife's Return #274
Chapter 274Cynthia's POVI found Miguel and Carmen standing near one of the police cars, looking small and overwhelmed by everything happening around them.They'd just given their statements, and an officer was explaining what would happen next — follow-up interviews, possible court testimony if it came to that.I approached them, my chest tight with gratitude."Miguel. Carmen," I said quietly.They turned, and Carmen's face immediately softened."Cynthia," she said warmly. "¿Estás bien?"Are you okay?"Yes," I said. "Thanks to you. Both of you. I wouldn't be here if you hadn't helped me."Miguel shifted uncomfortably, clearly still processing everything that had happened."I'm sorry," he said gruffly. "For not believing you at first. For thinking you were…""It's okay," I interrupted gently. "You didn't know me. And I know how it must have looked."I took a breath."But I want to keep my promise," I continued. "About the car. I told you I'd give you one, and I meant it."Miguel open

Chapter 273Cynthia's POVThe police arrived within minutes — two patrol cars with sirens blaring, officers jumping out before the vehicles had even fully stopped.They approached cautiously, their expressions a mixture of relief and professional concern."Cynthia Cynclair?" one of them asked, though it was clear from the crowd still filming and shouting that they already knew who I was."Yes," I said, my voice hoarse. "That's me.""We need to get you to the station," the officer said gently. "For your statement. And to get you checked out medically.""I don't need medical attention," I said immediately. "I need to report a kidnapping. Ethan Walker — my husband — he's still being held. By Grace Walker and her son Pascal. They're in a warehouse about four hours outside the city, near…""Ma'am," the officer interrupted, holding up a hand. "We'll get all of that at the station. Right now, let's get you somewhere safe."I nodded, my hands still shaking.Miguel and Carmen stood nearby, loo

Chapter 272 Cynthia's POVIf anyone ever asked me if I believed in miracles, I would tell them yes.Absolutely, without question, yes.Because what happened in those few seconds defied every law of physics and probability I'd ever learned.One minute we were driving.The next, we were flying.The truck left the ground — actually left the ground — spinning through the air like a toy tossed by an angry child.Time stretched impossibly thin.I saw the pavement below us.Saw the blue sky above.Saw Miguel's hands frozen on the steering wheel.Saw Carmen's face, twisted in terror.And I thought, with absolute certainty, This is it.This is how I die.Not in the warehouse.Not at Grace's hands.But here, on a Missford street, so close to home I could probably walk there.The truck completed its rotation — one full, impossible flip — and slammed back down onto the road.Right side up.The impact was brutal.Metal shrieked. Glass shattered. The entire vehicle shuddered violently, the frame g

Chapter 271 Cynthia's POVI saw the sign WELCOME TO MISSFORD just as soon as I was about to complain to Miguel about how long we have spent on the road.Relief crashed through me so powerfully I actually started crying.We'd made it.After everything — the kidnapping, the warehouse, the running, the hiding, the broken-down truck, the police checkpoint — we'd actually made it."Missford," I whispered, pressing my hand against the window like I could reach through the glass and touch the sign. "We're here. We're actually here."Carmen turned in her seat to look at me, a gentle smile on her weathered face."Sí, mija," she said softly. "Ya llegamos."Yes, my daughter. We've arrived.Miguel grunted, his eyes still fixed on the road, but I could see the tension in his shoulders easing slightly.Even he seemed relieved to have reached our destination.As we crossed into the city limits, the landscape began to change.The empty fields and dirt roads gave way to pavement, buildings, traffic l

Chapter 270Cynthia's POVWe were stranded.Completely, utterly stranded.In the middle of a lonely stretch of road that seemed to stretch endlessly in both directions, with nothing but empty fields and the occasional withered tree for company.Cars passed by — maybe one every five or ten minutes — but none of them stopped.Why would they?We were just… stuck.Miguel had the hood of the truck propped open, his head buried inside the engine compartment, muttering curses in Spanish while Carmen stood beside him, wringing her hands anxiously.And I was pacing.Back and forth along the side of the road, my hands clenched into fists, my mind screaming at me to do something.But there was nothing I could do.No phone to call for help.No money to pay for a tow truck even if we could call one.No way forward except to wait for Miguel to somehow fix a twenty-year-old transmission with his bare hands.This can't be happening.This can't be real.Every minute we stood here was another minute Et

Chapter 269Cynthia's POVI didn't sleep.I lay in that small bed with the patchwork quilt pulled up to my chin, staring at the ceiling, watching shadows shift and dance across the worn floral wallpaper as the hours crawled by.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Ethan.Alone in that warehouse with Grace and Pascal.And every time I drifted close to sleep, the nightmares came.Dreams of the past—our wedding, our first years together, the moments when things had been good, when I'd believed we could be happy.And then the darker memories.Amber choking.Anna crying crocodile tears.Ethan looking at me like I was a stranger.Like I was the enemy.I woke gasping more than once, my heart pounding, my chest tight with fear and guilt.By the time pale morning light started filtering through the thin curtains, I'd given up on sleep entirely.I sat up, my body aching, my head pounding, my eyes burning from exhaustion and tears.But I couldn't rest until I got to Missford and I found help. Unti

Chapter 32Cynthia’s POVThe music slowed, turning soft and intimate. Around us, couples drifted toward the dance floor, the gentle melody filling the hall.Kevin appeared at my side, that playful grin spreading across his face. He extended his hand with an exaggerated bow. “Can I have this dance,

Chapter 40Ethan's POVI sat in my car, engine idling, watching the front doors of Westbridge Academy.I'd been doing this more often lately. Picking up Amber myself instead of sending Anna or the driver. Some misguided attempt at being present, at making up for... everything.I observed Amber had

Chapter 42 Cynthia's POV I was mid-sentence, explaining the delicate balance of acids in French cuisine, when the lecture hall door opened. My heart stopped. It was Ethan. He stood in the doorway, dressed in a sharp business suit. His eyes scanned the room before landing on me, and even from ac
