The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 109- He had crossed the line
Ethan POVThe meeting room in Bamako was too quiet.I sat at the head of the long glass table, my executives still talking—numbers, contracts, expansion timelines—but their voices blurred into meaningless noise. My pen lay forgotten between my fingers as my gaze drifted to the dark screen of my phone.Claire still hadn’t called.I checked the time again. Late afternoon. I’d been done with the meeting for almost an hour now, yet I hadn’t moved from my seat. Normally, I’d be eager to wrap things up, to call her the moment I had breathing room. No matter how angry she was at me, no matter how heated our arguments became, Claire always picked up my calls.Always.The argument replayed itself in my head like a cruel loop.Her standing by the window, arms crossed tightly over her chest.Me, frustrated, distracted, saying things sharper than I meant to.Her eyes—hurt, disappointed, resigned.“I just need you to listen for once, Ethan.”I hadn’t.I chose work. Again.My jaw tightened as guilt
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 108- My rescue
Amelia POVTime had stopped meaning anything.I didn’t know if it was morning or night anymore—only that my body felt heavy, hollowed out from the inside like something essential had been scooped away and discarded. The room smelled stale, like fear and dust and my own sweat. My throat burned every time I swallowed, dry and aching, and my head throbbed with a dull, relentless pain that pulsed behind my eyes.I dragged myself off the bed again.I had lost count of how many times I’d done this—how many times I’d crossed the room on unsteady legs, how many times my palms had struck the door until my hands felt swollen and numb. The oak was unforgiving. Solid. Mocking.“Please,” I whispered, my voice barely sound anymore. “Please… someone.”No answer.I pressed my forehead to the door, breathing hard. Each breath felt like work now, like my lungs had to be convinced to keep going.I wasn’t weak.I had never been weak.That was the thought I clung to as darkness crept at the edges of my vi
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 107- The iron hand
Sylvester POVAnger had always been my closest companion.It sat heavy in my chest as I walked down the hallway, Luke’s small weight resting against my side. The boy was quiet now—too quiet. His wide eyes darted around the mansion, confused, afraid. Good. Fear taught obedience early. Claire had failed to learn that lesson, and now she would pay for it.I did not look back at the bedroom door I had locked her behind.I could still hear her screams echoing in my head. Her fists pounding uselessly against solid oak. Her voice cracking as she begged for her son.Begging never moved me.Ungrateful girl.I laid Luke gently on the sofa in the east sitting room and motioned for the nanny to come forward. She hesitated, her eyes flicking nervously toward me.“Take him upstairs,” I ordered coldly. “He will stay in the blue room. No visitors. No questions.”“But—sir—Mrs—”“Do not test me,” I snapped.She paled instantly and nodded, scooping Luke up as he clutched his bear tighter. He looked back
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 106- The Departure
Amelia POV I woke up with my decision already carved into my bones.For the first time in months, the fear didn’t feel like a shadow clinging to me—it felt like clarity. A painful, aching clarity, but clarity all the same. Switzerland was home. Peace. Safety. A place where Luke could laugh without security guards trailing behind him, where I could breathe without scanning every face over my shoulder.Ethan refused to understand that.I found him in his study that morning, leaning over his desk, tie loose, hair damp from the shower. He looked exhausted—more than exhausted—but I didn’t let sympathy soften me. I couldn’t. Not anymore.“We need to talk,” I said quietly.He straightened, eyes narrowing with dread he didn’t bother to hide. “If this is about Switzerland again—”“It is.”A muscle in his jaw twitched. “Claire, we’ve been through this.”“But we haven’t resolved it,” I said, stepping closer. “You keep avoiding the truth. I’m not safe here, Ethan. Luke isn’t safe. And after what
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 105- What does she know?
Ethan POVMorning sunlight spilled across my office, bright and blinding, but nothing inside me felt clear.Not after last night.Not after what Claire said.I’d been sitting at my desk for almost an hour, a contract open in front of me, pen in hand—But I hadn’t written a single damn word.All I could hear was her voice.“I want to go back to Switzerland.”“I want peace.”“I have to protect Luke.”Every sentence hit me harder today than it had last night.And the more I replayed it, the more I realized…She wasn’t wrong.Since she arrived in my world, danger had followed her like a shadow—Break-ins, kidnappings, threats, stalkers—And now this woman in diamonds.Chloe.The name I hadn’t said in almost five years.I exhaled sharply, leaning back in my chair. I knew Claire had every right to want safety. I knew she had every right to demand it for Luke. Hell, I wanted it too.But uprooting our lives?Walking away now?I’d fought five years to claw my way back into this city, to earn t
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 104- The argument
Amelia POV I held Luke tighter than I ever had in my life.My arm curled around his small body as if the strength of my grip alone could shield him from the woman’s words still echoing in my skull. His warm cheek pressed against my shoulder, his tiny hands hooked into the fabric of my gown, completely unaware of the storm clawing at my chest.Ethan was only a few steps ahead, weaving us through the crowd after noticing how shaken I looked when I returned from the terrace. He kept glancing back, eyes sharp, protective, but I couldn’t focus on him. My gaze swept the ballroom in frantic, restless passes—faces blurring, lights smearing, laughter bending into something sinister.I searched for her.For the woman with diamonds and venom in her voice.But she was gone.Vanished into the glittering mass of guests like a shadow slipping beneath a door.My heart thudded wildly, a trapped bird battering its wings against my ribs. I scanned every corner, every cluster of whispering strangers, ev
