Chapter 113- Secrets worth knowing

last update Last Updated: 2025-12-19 22:17:38

Amelia POV

The days after the chaos blurred into a strange, fragile calm, like the quiet after a storm that hadn’t truly passed. I was still in the hospital, but no longer trapped between life and death. My body felt weaker than before, yet stronger too, as if survival itself had hardened something inside me. The doctors said I could be discharged today. Their words should have felt like freedom, but instead, they filled me with a restless unease I couldn’t name.

Ethan sat beside my bed, his presence steady and warm. One of his hands held mine, his thumb brushing slow circles against my skin as if anchoring me to the moment. Luke lay curled against my legs, his small body heavy with sleep, his fingers clutching the hem of my gown. Every now and then, he shifted, murmuring softly, and my heart tightened painfully at how safe he looked right now. Safe because Ethan was here. Safe because Sylvester wasn’t.

I stared at the ceiling, listening to the machines hum, while memories of last nig

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 117- Power

    Sylvester POVPower has a sound.Most people think it’s loud—gunshots, shouting, chaos. They’re wrong. Real power hums quietly beneath the skin, steady and controlled, like a blade sliding free from its sheath. That was the sound filling my ears as night crept over the city and my plans slid into motion.I didn’t sleep.Sleep was for men without enemies.I sat in the dark of my penthouse, city lights spilling through the floor-to-ceiling windows, my reflection fractured in the glass. The man staring back at me looked older than he should have. Lines etched deep around my mouth, eyes sharp but tired. A king nearing the end of his reign—but kings did not step aside quietly. They were dragged down, screaming, or they burned the world before surrendering the crown.I chose fire.My phone buzzed again. One vibration. Controlled. Deliberate.“Status,” I said when the call connected, my voice smooth despite the tension coiling beneath my ribs.“He’s reacting,” my contact replied. “Just like

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 116- His Death

    Sylvester POVI built Ethan Ward. I gave him my name.That truth burned in my chest every time he walked through the executive floor like he owned the air itself. I had dragged him out of nothing, molded him, sharpened him, fed him knowledge and power until he became the man the board now worshipped. He was supposed to be grateful. Obedient. Loyal.Instead, he had grown teeth.Watching him from the glass walls of my office, I felt the familiar surge of rage coil tight in my gut. He stood in the corridor, suit immaculate, posture calm, speaking quietly to Jared like nothing in this world could shake him. No cracks. No fear. No acknowledgment of the hands that once guided him.Ungrateful bastard.I remembered the boy he used to be. Thin. Quiet. Eyes too big for his face. Always watching, always listening. I had seen potential where others saw weakness. I had given him structure, discipline, a future. And in return, he had slowly begun to dismantle my control piece by piece.I had starte

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 115- Ghosts of my past

    Ethan POVSomething was different about Claire.I noticed it almost immediately, though I couldn’t put a name to it. It wasn’t something obvious—she wasn’t cold or distant, not exactly. She smiled when Luke talked, laughed softly at his jokes, thanked me when I brought her tea or adjusted her pillows. But there was a tightness behind her eyes, a guarded stillness that hadn’t been there before. Like she was holding a door shut inside herself, terrified of what might burst through if she let it open.I told myself it was normal. She’d almost died. She’d been hurt by Sylvester. Anyone would change after that.Still, the feeling gnawed at me.She watched me more closely now. Not suspiciously—no, it was worse than that. Thoughtfully. Like she was studying me, measuring me against something she hadn’t yet voiced. When our eyes met, she didn’t look away, but she didn’t relax either. It made my chest feel tight in a way I couldn’t explain.I wanted to ask her what was wrong.But I didn’t.Bec

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 114- Fault Lines

    Amelia POVThe words hung between us like a fragile glass ornament, swaying, threatening to shatter at the slightest breath.“I’m staying,” I’d said. “And I need you to tell me everything.”Ethan blinked, clearly caught off guard. For a split second, something flickered across his face—confusion, then caution, then a carefully neutral calm.“What do you mean?” he asked slowly. “Everything about what?”I watched him closely, every muscle in my body coiled tight. This was the moment. If I pushed too hard, he’d shut down. If I pulled back too fast, I’d lose my chance.Then I laughed.It came out light, almost careless, a sound that didn’t match the pounding of my heart. “God, Ethan, look at your face,” I said, shaking my head. “Relax. It was a joke.”“A joke?” His brows knit together.“Yes,” I said easily, forcing a smile. “I just wanted to see your reaction. You should’ve seen yourself. You looked like I accused you of murder.”I waved a hand dismissively and moved toward the kitchen, b

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 112- No mercy

    Sylvester POVThe moment the hospital doors slid shut behind me, my composure shattered.I stalked toward my car like a man walking to an execution—except I was the executioner. My jaw ached from how tightly it was clenched, my chest burning with a rage so volatile it demanded release. Ethan’s face replayed in my mind on a vicious loop. The defiance in his eyes. The way his hands had trembled—not with fear, but with restraint.Restraint.That was what cut the deepest.I slammed into the driver’s seat and shut the door hard enough to rattle the windows. The silence inside the car was thick, suffocating. My hands shook as I gripped the steering wheel, leather creaking under the pressure. For a long second, I just sat there, breathing like a caged animal.Then I screamed.A raw, furious sound tore from my throat as I punched the steering wheel again and again, pain shooting up my arm, welcome and sharp. The dashboard shook under my blows.That ungrateful bastard.Ethan Monroe—no, Ethan n
