Rebecca POV

Triumph tasted like fine wine—sweet, intoxicating, and long overdue.

I leaned back in my chair, swirling the stem of my champagne glass as the city glittered beneath the penthouse balcony. From this height, everything looked small. Manageable. Just like Amelia.

The faint hum of soft jazz filled the room, mingling with the distant sounds of traffic below. I’d just gotten off the phone with Maxwell’s lawyer—another small but satisfying confirmation that the divorce papers had been filed and processed. Clean. Efficient. Final.

A slow smile spread across my face.

She was out of the picture.

For months, I had watched their marriage unravel thread by fragile thread, gently tugging in all the right places. A well-placed whisper here. A fabricated “anonymous” tip there. A doctored email. A carefully timed accusation about Amelia’s loyalty and finances.

Maxwell, with all his cold intelligence, had been so easy to steer once his trust cracked. And Amelia? Pathetic. She wore her emot

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 148- Her memory

    Rebecca POVMorning light crept through the kitchen curtains in thin, hesitant lines, but I barely noticed it. My attention was still anchored to the living room couch, to the place where Maxwell had collapsed the night before, heavy with grief, stripped of his defenses. I had seen my son hurt before. I had seen him angry, distant, withdrawn. But nothing prepared me for the weight of his head in my lap, for the way his shoulders shook as if holding back tears had finally cost him more than he could afford.When he ran to me, truly ran to me, something inside my chest cracked open. Relief and heartbreak collided in a way that left me breathless. I had always feared that when Maxwell finally broke, he would do it alone, locked behind walls I could never reach. Instead, he came home. He came to me. And that trust felt heavier than any confession.Watching him sleep there, vulnerable and undone, stirred memories I had buried for years. The little boy who used to crawl into my bed after ni

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 147- Broken and devastated

    Maxwell POVClaire’s words followed me long after her car disappeared from view, echoing in my head with a cruel persistence I couldn’t silence. Please. Move on. They weren’t shouted, weren’t dramatic, yet they cut deeper than anything she could have said in anger. I stood there like an idiot, hands at my sides, staring at the empty stretch of road where she’d been moments ago, feeling as though something vital had been ripped out of my chest and left bleeding in the open.I had known it was coming. Or at least, I told myself I had. When she started ignoring my messages, replying days later with clipped, polite responses, something in me had already begun to sink. Claire was many things, but careless wasn’t one of them. Her silence wasn’t accidental. It was deliberate, controlled, and that made it hurt more. Every unread message felt like a door quietly locking, one after the other.I tried to be reasonable. I told myself she was busy. Luke, work, wedding preparations—there were a tho

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 146- Five days left

    Amelia POVFive days.The number followed me everywhere, like a whisper I couldn’t escape. Five days until I would walk down an aisle, five days until I would say I do, five days until I would become Ethan’s wife. The word wife should have felt grounding, solid, like an anchor. Instead, it made my stomach flutter with a nervous energy I couldn’t quite name.What was I thinking?The question echoed in my mind as I stood in front of the mirror that morning, toothbrush paused mid-air, eyes fixed on my own reflection. I looked the same—same tired eyes, same faint crease between my brows—but something inside me felt unsettled, as though I’d shifted the ground beneath my own feet and now didn’t trust it to hold.Moving the wedding up had felt right in the moment. Necessary, even. A decision born out of urgency and resolve, out of fear and defiance tangled together so tightly I couldn’t separate them. I had told myself it was strength. A declaration. Proof that I knew what I wanted.Now, wit

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 145- A sudden shift

    Ethan POVThe trip was Claire’s idea.That alone should’ve told me how much it meant.As the plane touched down and the familiar city lights spread beneath us, a quiet sense of contentment settled in my chest. I hadn’t realized how much tension I’d been carrying until it eased, just a little, the moment I looked over at her and saw that soft, tentative smile she reserved for moments when she was trying—really trying.She had planned everything. The location. The schedule. Even the little details she knew I liked but rarely mentioned. It wasn’t extravagant, but it was thoughtful, deliberate. Personal.And to me, that meant more than any grand gesture ever could.I’d been angry before the trip. Not the explosive kind—Claire and I hadn’t been that kind of couple in years—but the quiet, simmering kind. The kind that lived in pauses, in half-finished conversations, in the space between us at night. I’d felt her pulling away, even when she was right beside me. Felt the hesitation every time

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 144- Better than before

    Amelia povI let myself wake slowly the next morning, the sound of waves slipping through the open balcony doors like a lullaby. For once, my chest didn’t feel tight with anxiety the moment my eyes opened. Instead, there was warmth—Luke’s small body curled against mine and Ethan’s steady presence beside us, his arm draped protectively around both of us.I stayed still, afraid to disturb the fragile peace. Vacations had a way of making everything feel softer, kinder. I knew reality waited for us back home, but here, in this pocket of borrowed calm, I allowed myself to breathe.Ethan stirred first. His eyes met mine, and instead of the guarded look I’d grown used to, there was something gentle there.“Morning,” he murmured.“Morning,” I replied, smiling before I could stop myself.Luke chose that moment to wake, announcing it loudly and dramatically, demanding breakfast and declaring he dreamed of riding dolphins. Ethan laughed—a real laugh, unrestrained—and I realized how long it had b

  • The Billionaire’s Forgotten Bride   Chapter 143 - Our Vacation

    Amelia POVThe next morning unfolded like every other, painfully ordinary. I moved through the kitchen on autopilot, cracking eggs, flipping pancakes, slicing fruit, pretending routine could stitch together what was unraveling. The smell of coffee filled the air, rich and familiar, and for a brief moment I let myself believe today could be different. That maybe last night had been a crack, not a break.“Breakfast’s ready,” I called softly as I set plates on the table.No answer.I wiped my hands on a towel and walked down the hallway, pausing outside the bedroom. Ethan was already dressed, tugging on his jacket with sharp, hurried movements.“I made your favorite,” I said carefully.He didn’t look at me. “I’m not hungry.”“You barely ate yesterday.”“I’m late,” he replied, voice clipped. He reached for his keys, already halfway out the door.“Ethan,” I tried again, my chest tightening. “Can we talk later?”He hesitated, just for a second, then nodded without meeting my eyes. “We’ll se
