CHAPTER FORTY-SIX: THE WEIGHT OF HIS SANITY

CASPIAN'S POV

I found out she had gone to the hospital from Mrs. Ellis.

The housekeeper said it simply while she set a cup of coffee on my desk in the study. “Mrs. Laurent left earlier to visit her brother. She cooked for him herself.”

I only nodded. I did not ask any more questions. But the information stayed in my head long after Mrs. Ellis left the room. The coffee sat untouched. The papers in front of me stayed unread.

She had cooked for him.

  • The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go   STAY WITH ME

    CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN: STAY WITH MESERENA'S POVI came home from the hospital with a quiet heart.Talking to Lucas had left me softer and better than when I left. His questions about divorce and about how Caspian treated me stayed in my mind, but so did the way he held my hand and told me I did not have to carry everything alone. I felt tired, but I also felt better and I have clarity. The drive back had been quiet. I had watched the city pass outside the window and tried to hold on to the small peace my brother had given me.The mansion was silent when I stepped inside. I thanked the driver and walked up the stairs slowly. My body felt heavy from the long day. All I wanted was to change clothes, wash my face, and rest for a while. The hallway lights were on and the usual sounds of the house felt distant.I was passing the study when my feet stopped.I did not know why.Maybe it was the way Lucas had looked at me when he asked if I was truly okay. Maybe it was the memory of Caspian sta

    CHAPTER FORTY-SIX: THE WEIGHT OF HIS SANITYCASPIAN'S POVI found out she had gone to the hospital from Mrs. Ellis.The housekeeper said it simply while she set a cup of coffee on my desk in the study. “Mrs. Laurent left earlier to visit her brother. She cooked for him herself.”I only nodded. I did not ask any more questions. But the information stayed in my head long after Mrs. Ellis left the room. The coffee sat untouched. The papers in front of me stayed unread.She had cooked for him. She had left the house without telling me. She had gone to the one person who still felt safe to her.I sat in the quiet study and stared at the papers in front of me without reading them. Ever since Helena’s visit, something between Serena and me had changed.It was easier to be cold than to admit that the distance bothered me. Easier to keep the walls up than to look too closely at the way she had stood behind me while Helena threw those ugly words into the room. Easier to focus on the compa

  • The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go   HOSPITAL FOOD AND HARD QUESTIONS

    CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE: HOSPITAL FOOD AND HARD QUESTIONSSERENA'S POVI woke up early and decided I needed to see Lucas.The house still felt heavy after Helena’s visit. I needed air. I needed my brother. I went to the kitchen and cooked for him myself. Soft rice, grilled chicken, a little soup, and the sweet bread he liked when he had enough energy to eat it. Mrs. Ellis offered to help, but I shook my head. I wanted to do it with my own hands.When the food was packed, I called the driver and went straight to the hospital.Lucas was awake when I entered his room. He looked better than he had a week ago. There was a bit more color in his face. The machines still beeped quietly beside him, but his eyes were clear.“Serena,” he said, smiling. “You brought real food.”I smiled back and set the containers on the small table. “Hospital food is terrible. I had to save you.”He laughed softly, then winced a little as he sat up higher against the pillows. I moved quickly to help him. Once he was

    CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR: AFTER THE DOOR SLAMMEDSERENA'S POVThe house felt too quiet after Helena left.The sound of the front door slamming still seemed to hang in the air. I stood in the living room, my arms wrapped around myself, and tried to steady my breathing. My face felt hot. My hands were cold. The words she had used kept repeating in my head.Whore. Slut. Distraction. Ruining him.I had heard ugly things about myself since marrying Caspian, but hearing them shouted in this house by his aunt hit differently. She had looked at me like I was something dirty that had attached itself to her family.Caspian still stood a few steps in front of me with his back partially turned. His shoulders looked tight. He had stepped between us. He had told her she could not speak to me that way. He had called me his wife in a voice that did not sound like acting.I did not know what to do with that.For a long time neither of us spoke. The large room felt bigger than usual. I could hear my

  • The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go   HELENA

    CHAPTER FORTY-THREE: HELENACASPIAN'S POVThe front door slammed open so hard the sound echoed through the entire mansion.I was in the living room when I heard it. Before I could fully stand, Helena’s voice filled the house.“Caspian!”She came down the hallway like a storm. Her face was tight with anger, her hair slightly messy from the rush, her eyes sharp and furious. She did not wait for anyone to greet her. She walked straight into the room and pointed a finger at me.“How could you let this happen?” she shouted. “Do you have any idea what the board is saying? What the investors are saying? The stock is collapsing and you are sitting in this house like a weak, distracted boy!”I kept my voice controlled. “Aunt Helena. Lower your voice.”“I will not lower my voice!” She stepped closer. Her heels clicked hard against the floor. “You have become irresponsible. You had one job. Protect the company your father left in your hands and instead you allow Damian Cross to steal a product f

  • The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go   THE BAIT

    CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: THE BAITUNKNOWN POVThe room was quiet and expensive.Soft light came from a single lamp in the corner. The windows were covered with heavy curtains so no one outside could see in. A bottle of dark wine from my vineyard already stood open on the low table between two chairs. The air smelled faintly of leather and the sharp, clean scent of money that never needed to announce itself.I leaned back and let out a low laugh.“They’ve taken the bait.”The sound of my own laughter felt satisfying. Everything had moved exactly as it was supposed to. The messages. The pressure. The careful timing. People always thought they were in control until the ground started shifting under their feet. Caspian Laurent was no different. He had built his world with high walls and strict order, and still the first real crack had appeared exactly where we wanted it.I reached for the tablet on the table and turned it toward me. The screen glowed with financial charts and red numbers. Laure
