The Billionaire’s Betrayed Bride EPILOGUE
RILEY’S POVA year changes everything.Not all at once, not in one dramatic moment where the world suddenly makes sense again.But slowly. On the way you wake up one day and realize the pain doesn’t sit as heavily in your chest anymore.In the way laughter comes easier and memories don’t always hurt.In the way life simply continues.The ocean stretched endlessly before us. Blue, calm and unbothered by everything the world carried within it.I stood at the edge of the balcony, the soft breeze brushing against my skin as I watched the waves roll in and out.There was something about water. The way it moved and it refused to stay still.It reminded me of healing, change and survival.“Mama.”I turned at the sound, and just like that, everything else faded.She stood there, holding onto the edge of the glass door, her tiny fingers gripping it like it was the only thing keeping her steady.Her curls were slightly messy, her dress crooked and her eyes bright, always bright.I smiled instan

RILEY’S POVMy phone rang just as I finished feeding Lucy.I glanced down at the screen absently at first, then froze. Dad.The name alone was enough to make something shift in my chest, it had been so long.I stared at it for a second, then two. Letting it ring and letting myself decide.I answered. “Hello?”“Riley.” His voice sounded older, careful in a way I had never heard before. And that alone made my guard rise.“Yes?”“I… I wasn’t sure you’d pick up.”“I almost didn’t.” I stated honestly.“I understand.” he mumbled. “I wanted to see you,”“Why?” I asked quietly, because I needed to know.I needed to understand what this was before I stepped into it.“I owe you an apology.”My fingers tightened slightly around the phone. “You’ve had years to do that.”“I know.”“And you didn’t.”“I was wrong,” he added. “I’d like to fix that,”I leaned back slightly against the couch, my gaze drifting to where Lukas lay sleeping peacefully beside his sister.“I don’t know if things can be fixe

AIDEN'S POV Time passed, and with it came change.The day it happened was quiet. Riley had been restless all morning. Shifting, pausing, breathing a little heavier than usual.“You okay?” I asked, watching her carefully.She nodded, then shook her head. “I don’t know.”That was enough to put me on edge. “Riley.”She froze slightly. “Aiden…”The way she said my name, that was it. That was all I needed.“We’re going to the hospital.”“I think…”“We’re going now.”Everything after that blurred.The drive, the voices, movement, urgency.It all blended into one continuous moment of tension and anticipation.But one thing stayed clear. Her hand in mine, tight and unrelenting.“I’m here,” I kept saying. “I’m right here.”And I was. Every second, every breath, every moment.Labor wasn’t easy, It never is. But this was something else.Because it wasn’t just physical. It was emotional, mental and every push carried more than pain.It carried fear, memory, loss and hope. All tangled together i

AIDEN’S POVThere are nights that don’t end when the sun rises.Nights that stay with you, lingering in your chest and settling in your bones. Refusing to leave no matter how many hours pass.This was one of them.Riley hadn’t said much since the baby shower, not in words..But something had shifted.She wasn’t drowning the way she had been before but she wasn’t steady either. She was in between.And I had learned quickly that in-between spaces were the most dangerous.Because that’s where people either begin to heal or fall apart again.She sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers resting lightly over her stomach.A habit now. Instinctive and protective. Her gaze was distant, not empty. Just somewhere else.“You’re thinking again.” My voice was soft as I leaned against the doorway.She didn’t look at me immediately. “I don’t know how to stop.”I walked over carefully, like approaching something delicate.“You don’t have to stop,” I said. “You just have to not let it consume you.”“That

CLAIRE’S POVGrief has a way of overstaying its welcome. Not in the loud, obvious way people expect. Not always tears or breakdowns.Sometimes it’s quieter than that. It lingers and sits in the corner of the room.It follows you into every moment and slowly drains the color out of everything you used to love.And Riley, she was fading.“She didn’t eat again.”I didn’t look away from the window as I spoke.Aiden stood behind me, silent for a moment. “I know.”Three simple words, heavy and defeated.That scared me more than anything, because Aiden wasn’t the kind of man who gave up easily.“She barely sleeps,” I continued. “And when she does, she wakes up crying.”His jaw tightened. “I know.”“She doesn’t talk unless someone forces her to.”“I know, Claire.”I turned this time, finally facing him. “Then do something.”The words came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t take them back because watching Riley like this. It was unbearable.“What do you want me to do?” he asked quietl

RILEY’S POVThere are moments in life that don’t feel real while they’re happening.Moments where everything slows down, where sound fades, time stretches, and your body moves but your mind doesn’t quite catch up.And then later, much later. It hits you all at once, like a wave you didn’t see coming.Like something that was always going to break you just didn’t know when.“Get in the car.” Ethan’s voice cut through the air like something sharp, unfamiliar.I didn’t move.“I’m not going anywhere with you.”His jaw tightened. “You don’t really have a choice.”“I do.” I insisted stubbornly.“You don’t.”My heart pounded hard against my chest, my hand instinctively pressing against my stomach. Protective and desperate.“Ethan, stop this,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “Whatever you think this is, it’s not going to fix anything.”He laughed, but there was no humor in it. “I’m not trying to fix anything.”That was worse.“I’m ending it.”My breath caught. “What does that even mean

RILEY'S POV The gala ended without an ending. No confrontation, no accusation, no dramatic fall from grace.Just applause that sounded polite and smiles that didn’t quite reach anyone’s eyes. That, I realised later, was the point.The most dangerous events were never loud.Aiden didn’t walk me out

CLAIRE'S POV I didn’t like him.That was the first clear thought I had the moment Riley stepped aside to let him into her apartment.It wasn’t anything obvious. He didn’t leer, didn’t smile too widely, didn’t say anything inappropriate. If anything, he was… polite. Almost forgettable. The kind o

OWEN'S POV I had learned long ago that fear had a rhythm.It wasn’t always loud. It didn’t always shake hands or widen eyes. Sometimes it showed up in the way someone checked the door twice before sitting down, or how they kept their phone face-down, even when it buzzed. Or how they answered que

SOFIA'S POV I never thought I’d be in this much trouble. Not because I lacked ambition, I thrived on ambition. But because the foundation I had carefully built for years was starting to crack under the weight of my own recklessness.I adjusted my blazer for the fifth time, pacing the office floor
