The Billionaire Who Forgot His Marriage Chapter Thirty-two
NOAH'S Pov We left the motel just after sunrise.The sky was pale and quiet, like the world hadn’t fully woken up yet. That was good. Fewer eyes. Fewer questions. Adrian walked beside me, wearing a cap pulled low, his hands tucked into his jacket pockets. He moved slowly but steadily. That alone felt like a small victory.I didn’t speak as we crossed the parking lot. Neither did he. Sometimes silence was safer. Sometimes it was kinder.Once we were back on the road, I took a route that avoided the highways. Long stretches of empty land passed by. Fields. Old houses. Roads that curved instead of cutting straight through places where people lived.Adrian watched everything like he was memorizing it.“You don’t have to remember all of this,” I said gently.“I know,” he replied. “I just like knowing where I am.”I nodded. That made sense. When your life had been controlled for so long, knowing your surroundings mattered.After two hours, my phone buzzed once.One message.I’m here. Dock

NOAH'S Pov The road out of the city was empty at that hour, stretched wide and dark like it had been waiting for us. The headlights cut through the night, and the engine hummed beneath my hands. Adrian sat beside me, quiet, wrapped in my jacket, staring straight ahead.He hadn’t spoken much since we left the tower.That worried me more than if he had been angry.I kept one hand on the steering wheel and the other resting near his knee, not touching, just close enough for him to feel that I was there. I didn’t want to crowd him. Tonight had taken something out of him. Or maybe it had given him something back. I couldn’t tell yet.We drove for almost an hour before I finally pulled off the main road.“This place,” I said quietly, breaking the silence. “It’s safe for now.”He nodded once. “I trust you.”The words settled deep in my chest.The motel was old and forgotten, the kind of place people passed without noticing. One floor. Flickering sign. A tired-looking clerk who didn’t ask q

ADRIAN'S PovThe car moved through the city without sound, like the world itself was holding its breath. I sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window, watching lights blur into long streaks. My hands were resting on my lap, but they wouldn’t stop shaking.Noah was driving. Focused. Silent.That scared me more than if he had been angry.Everything he told me earlier kept replaying in my head. The accident. The hospital. My mother standing over me while pieces of my life were quietly removed. I felt like someone had taken scissors to my memories, cutting out anything that didn’t serve her.I pressed my fingers together, trying to ground myself.“You don’t have to go,” I said finally.Noah didn’t look at me. “Yes, I do.”“She asked for me,” I replied. “Not you.”“She threatened me,” he said calmly. “That makes it my problem.”I fell silent.The building came into view minutes later. Tall. Clean. Cold. Glass walls that reflected power and money. My mother’s private office tower. I
The Billionaire Who Forgot His Marriage Chapter Twenty-Nine
NOAH'S PovI had known this moment would come.From the second Adrian woke up in that hospital bed and looked at me like I was a stranger, I knew the truth would eventually corner me. No matter how carefully I chose my words. No matter how much I tried to protect him.But knowing it would come didn’t make it easier.He stood across from me now, tall, tense, eyes darker than usual. Not angry yet. Worse than anger. He was searching. And that terrified me more than any shout ever could.I set the plate down slowly, forcing my hands to stay steady. “You should sit,” I said.“I don’t want to sit,” he replied. His voice was controlled, but barely. “I want answers.”I nodded once. “Okay.”Silence stretched between us. Thick. Heavy.I had rehearsed this moment in my head a hundred times, but now that it was real, every version felt wrong. Too cruel. Too incomplete. Too dangerous.I walked past him and leaned against the counter, keeping some distance. Not because I didn’t want him close—but
The Billionaire Who Forgot His Marriage Chapter Twenty-Eight
“I don’t want you near him today.”That was the first thing Victoria said the moment I stepped into her office. She didn’t even look up from her documents. Her voice was calm, almost bored, but every word carried a cold command meant to snap around my throat like a leash.I closed the door behind me. “Mother, I didn’t come here to talk about Noah.”Her pen paused. Slowly, she lifted her head. Her eyes were sharp, pale, unreadable. “Everything is about him now.”I hated how true it felt.The office smelled like jasmine and iron, the smell of every childhood memory where she taught me how to stand, how to speak, how to never show weakness. Even now, a part of me wanted to sit straighter, breathe quieter, obey without thinking.But I didn’t sit. I didn’t move closer. I wasn’t here to surrender.“I saw the press report,” she continued. “They are painting him as a victim. Again.”“He is a victim,” I said, surprising myself with how steady my voice was.Her eyes sharpened. “He is an opportu

NOAH’S POV The city felt endless and empty, but I knew better. Victoria was out there. Her eyes, her men, her influence, it was everywhere. Every shadow could hide her, every corner could harbor a threat. I tightened my grip on Adrian’s hand, feeling how weak he still was, how much his body trembled under exhaustion. Every step we took, I promised myself silently: I wouldn’t let her take him. Not again.“Adrian… stay close to me,” I whispered, pressing him gently against my side as we moved through a dark street behind the warehouses. “We can’t risk splitting up, not now.”He nodded weakly, leaning on me, his head barely held up, eyes glazed with fatigue. “I… I don’t know if I can… keep up,” he admitted.“You are,” I said firmly, glancing down at him. “Every step you take is proof. You’re moving. You’re surviving. And I’m right here.”We slowed our pace, ducking behind a stack of rusted pallets to catch our breath. My own lungs were burning, my muscles screaming, but I couldn’t let
