The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 94- I found you
Amelia POVThe soft hum of classical music drifted through the air, warm and golden like the chandelier lights suspended above the hall. The engagement party had been going on for an hour now—an elegant, quiet celebration designed with the kind of wealth that whispered rather than shouted. White roses floated in tall crystal vases, soft candlelight flickered across marble floors, and every corner was filled with polished faces from Ethan’s world. Business moguls, investors, polished socialites—people who attended events like this the way other people breathed. Effortlessly. Expensively.I stood among them in my champagne satin dress, the same dress that felt like a second skin I never asked for.I smiled.At strangers.At cameras.At Ethan’s colleagues who looked at me like I was an accessory that came with the ring.And every smile felt like it cracked something inside me.Ethan’s hand rested lightly on my back, guiding me through conversations I wasn’t prepared for. He introduced me

The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 93- My engagement party
Amelia POVMorning light crept through the curtains slowly, slipping across the sheets in thin pale lines. I blinked awake with a dull heaviness behind my eyes, the memory of last night settling over me like unwanted fog. Ethan’s quiet disappointment, my inability to explain myself, the ache of secrets I didn’t understand—all of it clung to me as I pushed myself upright.Today, I promised myself, I would apologize. I would at least try to close the space between us, even if every instinct inside me rebelled against it. I owed him that much. Maybe more.I slipped out of bed and padded quietly toward the kitchen, but before I reached the door, Ethan stepped inside the room, already dressed in a crisp shirt and slacks, hair neatly combed, looking like he’d been awake for hours.He stopped when he saw me.For a moment, we just looked at each other. The tension from last night hovered like smoke between us.“I was just coming to find you,” I said softly.But Ethan shook his head, the faint
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 92- The truth
Amelia POVNight settled heavily over the house, sinking into the walls, wrapping itself around every corner like a reminder I could not outrun. I tried to distract myself with dinner, with cleaning, with folding blankets I’d already folded earlier that morning—but nothing worked. My hands wouldn’t stay still, my thoughts wouldn’t quiet, and every time I closed my eyes, all I saw were Maxwell’s eyes staring back at me in that supermarket.Confused. Hurt. Certain.As if he truly believed he knew me.As if I should know him.By the time Ethan came home, my nerves were a frayed wire barely holding together. He walked through the door tired, loosening his tie, running a hand through his hair. His eyes softened when he saw me.“Claire,” he murmured, stepping closer. “You look tense. Long day?”I forced a smile. “Just… a bit. Nothing serious.”But he didn’t seem convinced. He set his briefcase aside, rolled up his sleeves, and came toward me with a slow gentleness that once might’ve made my
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 91- Him again
Amelia POVA full week passed, yet the uneasy tightness in my chest never really left. It clung to me like a second skin—thin, invisible, suffocating. Ethan had been more attentive than ever, always watching me, always hovering as if the past Maxwell represented might slip out of the shadows at any moment and swallow me whole.But nothing happened.No strange sightings. No unexpected encounters. No man with sad eyes and a dangerous reputation appearing at every corner.Just… silence.Almost enough silence to make me believe I’d imagined the shift inside me last week—the fear, the disgust, the anger. Almost.This morning, though, the house felt unusually empty. Ethan had already left for work, leaving a brief kiss on my cheek before rushing out with his tie half-adjusted and an apologetic smile tugging at his lips.“Let me drop you at the supermarket later,” he’d said before leaving. “Don’t go alone.”But then he called in the afternoon, telling me work had piled up, that a client emer
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride Chapter 90- Ashamed
Amelia POVMy skin crawled long after Ethan’s words stopped echoing through the room.I lay stiffly on the bed, staring at the ceiling, but all I could see was that man’s face—Maxwell’s face—twisting, reforming, distorting in my mind as every terrible possibility Ethan described replayed itself. The room felt too quiet, too heavy, as if even the air was holding its breath. Ethan thought I was asleep. He’d kissed my forehead, whispered something I didn’t have the strength to respond to, and eventually left, the soft click of the door sealing me inside my own head.But I couldn’t sleep.I didn’t even blink.My pulse throbbed in my throat, hot and sickening, as Ethan’s words looped over and over.He followed you home.He cornered you.I got there just in time.He tried to force himself on you.A shiver tore through me—violent, involuntary. My stomach twisted. I pulled my knees to my chest, wrapping my arms around them as if I could squeeze the nausea out of my body.I wasn’t just disgust
