Amelia POV

The house was unnervingly quiet that night, its silence thick like velvet, muffling even the faintest sounds. I lay on my small, neatly made bed, staring at the cracked ceiling. Rebecca’s sudden kindness haunted me more than her cruelty ever did. Her smile replayed in my mind like a broken record, sweet but layered with something sinister beneath.

I turned over, trying to escape my thoughts, when a soft knock echoed through the room. My heart jumped. It was late—too late for casual visits. Who was that?

Before I could respond, the door creaked open slightly, revealing Maxwell standing there, his tall frame casting a shadow against the dim hallway light. His face was unreadable, but something in his dark eyes seemed… different.

“Pack your things,” he said quietly, his voice lower than usual, almost hesitant.

I blinked, pushing myself up on my elbows. “What?”

“You heard me.” He stepped inside, closing the door behind him. “You’re not sleeping here anymore. From now on, you’ll

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 139- Stuck

    Amelia POVI ran to my car like the ground was on fire, my heels scraping pavement as the door slammed shut behind me. The silence inside the vehicle was loud, broken only by the frantic rhythm of my breathing. My hands shook as I gripped the steering wheel, knuckles white, heart hammering so violently it felt like it wanted to escape my chest. I stared at my reflection in the windshield, wide eyed and flushed, and barely recognized the woman staring back at me.I couldn’t believe how close it had been. How close we had been. One second more and my lips would have been on Maxwell’s, my resolve dissolving into something reckless and irreversible. The phone ringing had saved me, or ruined me. I wasn’t sure which terrified me more.What I didn’t understand was the feeling. The heat. The pull. I hadn’t felt it in years, not since before everything shattered. I told myself I was afraid, that I ran because I was protecting what little stability I had built. But deep down, I knew the truth w

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 138- That scary night

    Maxwell POVI stopped without realizing it, the words drying in my throat as the memory pressed too close to my chest. The lake rippled softly in front of us, moonlight stretching across the water like fractured glass. I hadn’t meant to pause, but suddenly the weight of everything I was saying settled deep in my bones.Claire tilted her head, studying me. “Why did you stop?” she asked gently.I exhaled, rubbing the back of my neck. “I need a drink,” I said. “This part… it’s harder to say.”She didn’t push. She only nodded and stood, walking beside me as we followed the curve of the lake toward the small bar tucked beneath the trees. The night air was cool, grounding. I welcomed it. We each took a glass, the clink of ice echoing too loudly in the quiet.Claire smiled softly as we walked again. “I just want you to know,” she said, “I’ve never heard a story like yours. It’s painful, but it’s honest. Thank you for trusting me with it.”Her words settled somewhere warm and unexpected. I no

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 137- My story

    Maxwell POVThe drive was quiet, heavy with unspoken memories. I didn’t tell Claire where we were going, but she seemed to sense it wasn’t just any place. When I pulled over near the old lakeside trail, her breath caught softly, as if the air itself recognized her. This place had always belonged to Amelia and me. Our refuge. Our secret from a world that never stopped demanding pieces of us.We stepped out of the car, the scent of pine and damp earth wrapping around us. The lake shimmered ahead, calm and deceptive. Claire walked slowly beside me, her eyes taking everything in, as though she were seeing echoes she couldn’t quite name.“She loved this place,” I said quietly.Claire looked at me. “Amelia?”I nodded. “When things got loud, when life felt unbearable, she came here. Sometimes alone. Sometimes with me.” I swallowed. “I haven’t been back since the accident.”We stopped at the wooden bench near the water, weathered but still standing. I sat, suddenly feeling the weight of years

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 136 - My mother’s word

    Maxwell POVI woke up with the weight of last night pressing heavily on my chest, the memory of my mother’s breakdown clinging to me like a shadow I couldn’t shake. Rebecca had always been strong—unyielding, composed, almost untouchable. Seeing her crumble in my arms, sobbing like the world had finally caught up with her, had unsettled me more than I wanted to admit. I kept replaying it over and over, searching for the moment I might have caused it, the careless word or long-standing wound I had reopened without realizing.As I dressed for work, my thoughts spiraled. Had I said something wrong? Had I pushed her too far just by existing, by living my life in fragments and disappointments she never approved of? Or worse—had she finally seen something coming that I was still blind to? Her words echoed in my head, soft but resolute, telling me she only wanted me to be happy and that she would stand by me no matter what. It felt like a benediction delivered far too late, or maybe an apolog

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 135- Amelia or Claire?

    Rebecca POVI don’t remember the drive to Victoria’s house. I only remember the pressure in my chest, the way my hands shook so badly I nearly dropped my keys twice, and the singular thought pounding through my skull like a warning bell—she is wrong, and she has to stop. By the time I pulled into Victoria’s gated driveway, my fear had curdled into something sharper. Urgency. Desperation. Resolve.The front door opened before I could knock, as if she’d sensed my presence like a predator senses weakness.“What did you do?” Victoria snapped, her eyes blazing. “What have you done now, Rebecca?”“I saw her,” I said, stepping inside without waiting for permission. “And she’s not Amelia.”Victoria let out a sharp, humorless laugh, shutting the door with a decisive thud. “You went to see her?” Her voice rose. “After everything I told you? After everything we planned?”“Yes,” I shot back. “And if you’d stop assuming you know everything for once in your miserable life, you’d listen.”Her face d

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 134- Fear of becoming a monster

    Rebecca POVVictoria’s words followed me long after she left, sinking into my bones like a slow poison. The house felt quieter than it ever had, every ticking clock and distant creak mocking the chaos in my mind. I sat alone in the living room, hands clasped so tightly together my fingers ached, staring at nothing while everything replayed itself over and over again.Because Amelia won’t. She’ll come for you.I closed my eyes, but it didn’t help. If anything, the memories grew sharper.I saw Amelia as she used to be—standing in my kitchen years ago, nervous but hopeful, her hands folded neatly in front of her as if she were afraid to take up too much space. I remembered how beautiful she looked beside Maxwell, how his eyes softened whenever she laughed. I remembered how much that unsettled me.Back then, I’d told myself I was protecting my son. That a mother’s instinct had guided my actions. That Amelia was wrong for him, that she would destroy him, that I saw something no one else di
