Chapter 58

The silence in the penthouse was deafening, broken only by the soft, rhythmic hum of the city’s traffic far below and the quiet whir of the ventilation system.

Zara stared at the glowing screen of the oversized tablet, then up at her four-year-old son. Leo was standing there in his silk Batman pajamas, clutching a modified tablet in one hand and a half-dismantled robotic dog in the other.

He ran a cross-analysis. He knows.

Panic, cold and sharp, clawed at Zara’s throat. She had spent

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Bidding War

    Chapter 60The charity auction was a battlefield disguised as philanthropy.Zara sat at Table 3 with Julian, her posture perfectly straight, but her mind was racing. What secrets she keeps in her garage. Ethan was taunting her. He was pressing the bruise, trying to see if she would flinch.Across the room at Table 1, Ethan’s gaze practically burned a hole through the side of her head. He had barely touched his drink, and he had completely ignored Chloe for the last forty minutes."Next up on the block," the auctioneer announced, his voice booming through the microphone. "A stunning, flawless fifteen-carat teardrop diamond necklace, donated by the estate of Lady Halloway. Bidding starts at one million dollars!"Chloe’s eyes lit up greedily. She tugged on Ethan’s sleeve. "Ethan! Look at it. It’s perfect for our wedding day. You have to get it for me."Ethan didn't look at the necklace. He looked at Zara.Zara caught his stare. A dangerous, vindictive idea sparked in her mind. If Ethan C

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Phantom Father

    Chapter 59The silence on the line was so absolute that Jax thought the call had dropped.In his lavish penthouse office, Ethan Cole stood frozen, his phone pressed hard against his ear. His breath was trapped somewhere in his chest, his heart executing a heavy, violently painful thud against his ribs.Try harder, Daddy.The word echoed in Ethan’s mind, tearing through the chemically induced fog Chloe’s pills had wrapped around his brain. Daddy."Sir?" Jax’s nervous voice crackled through the speaker. "What should I do? The kid clearly swapped the juice box. If we run this DNA, it’s probably going to belong to some random four-year-old who likes eating paste."Ethan’s knuckles turned white. His analytical mind, the one that had built a multibillion-dollar tech empire, was spinning at warp speed.Zara had looked him dead in the eye and told him the father was dead. Yet, her four-year-old son was not only aware of Ethan's existence, but the boy had hacked a professional investigator, tr

Leo was standing there in his silk Batman pajamas, clutching a modified tablet in one hand and a half-dismantled robotic dog in the other.He ran a cross-analysis. He knows.Panic, cold and sharp, clawed at Zara’s throat. She had spent a fortune erasing her past, hiding her pregnancy in a secluded estate in Surrey, and burying any connection she had to Ethan Cole.But she had severely underestimated the sheer, terrifying intellect of the child she had brought into the world.Taking a slow, stabilizing breath, Zara gently pushed the tablet down so she could look directly into her son's steel-gray eyes."Leo," she started, her voice carefully measured. "Where did you get a high-resolution photograph of Ethan Cole’s face to run

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Lie That Bound Them

    Chapter 57For a fraction of a second, the heavy, humid air in the parking garage simply stopped moving. Zara stared at the photograph resting on the hood of her Porsche. Her chest constricted so violently she felt lightheaded. It was a candid shot of Leo, captured just yesterday outside his elite private preschool. He found out.The terrifying reality crashed into her, threatening to shatter the iron-clad composure she had spent five agonizing years forging.If Ethan Cole knew Leo was his son, with his wealth and the ruthless backing of the Cole family, he could drag her into a custody battle that would last a decade. He could take the only thing in the world that mattered to her. But as Zara dragged her gaze up from the photo to Ethan’s face, she noticed something. There was no recognition in his steely eyes. There was no triumphant smirk of a man who had just uncovered his own flesh and blood. Instead, Ethan looked... tormented.His jaw was clenched so tightly a muscle ticked f

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Boy with the Steel-Gray Eyes

    Chapter 56The rain lashed against the floor-to-ceiling windows of Ethan Cole’s penthouse office, blurring the neon skyline into streaks of weeping color. But inside, the air was dead and suffocating.Ethan sat frozen behind his massive mahogany desk, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the edges of an open manila folder.Jax, the underground private investigator Ethan had kept off the official company payroll, shifted uncomfortably on his feet.Jax had hunted down corporate spies and fleeing embezzlers without breaking a sweat, but looking at the expression on his billionaire employer’s face right now, the man looked terrified."I pulled everything I could from her time in London, Mr. Cole," Jax said, his voice cautious. "Zara Frost didn’t just rebuild her grandfather’s empire. She spent the first year completely off the grid. Medical records were sealed tightly, but I managed to trace a hospital admission in Surrey."Ethan didn't hear a word Jax was saying. The roaring in his e

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride    The Ghost at the Gates

    Chapter 55One Month Later.The Mercer Island property was precisely as Zara remembered it from five years ago.A stunning, sprawling Victorian-style home with a massive wrap-around porch, overlooking the glittering waters of Lake Washington. The lawn was perfectly manicured, and a massive oak tree with a tire swing sat in the front yard.It was the dream house. The house Ethan had bought for them in secret, a week before the car crash erased it all from his mind.Zara sat in the back of her SUV, parked across the street, staring at the property. The tinted windows hid her from view."Are we going in, Ms. Frost?" her new driver asked softly."No," Zara murmured, her eyes locked on the front porch. "Just wait."She had been avoiding him. For the past month, since Ethan had been discharged from the hospital, he had kept his promise to Marcus. He hadn't demanded to see her. He hadn't used his wealth to force his way into Frost Industries. He hadn't called the press to announce his pate
