MINA’S POV

I stared at my reflection in the mirror of the hospital bathroom.

A white bandage covered the left side of my face. The doctor had just discharged me. He told me the cut was too deep and said the scar would never fade.

I gripped the edges of the porcelain sink until my knuckles turned white.

I had lost everything. The beautiful Lakeview Penthouse, the $250,000 diamond ring was taken by the police. The Foundation Director title was gone. And worst of all, Zyran had dropped the charges

  • The Billionaire's Forsaken Wife    Chapter 147

    ROOSEVELT’S POVMy phone rang while I was still reviewing some documents in my office.I glanced at the unfamiliar number and considered letting it ring. But then, it continued for another few seconds. I reached out to pick it, though I don't expect any call during my working hours “Hello?” I answered.“Am I speaking with Roosevelt?” The woman's voice was calm, but something about the question made me pause as she hadn't introduced herself or explained how she'd gotten my number.“Who's asking?”“Well, my name isn't important right now. I just need to speak with you about a message.” She said as I put down the document in my hand.“Wait, what message?”“The one I left for you.” She responded as my attention sharpened immediately and I sat back in my chair, trying to place her voice, but I couldn't. I'd never spoken to this woman before, and she was already talking as though we had unfinished business.“What are you talking about?”“The warning you received concerning your family.” S

    ROOSEVELT’S POVAre you free for dinner tonight? And please don't say you're busy before checking your schedule. I know you work too much - Adrian.I shook my head and laughed.“This man got some nerve.”I had no business looking forward to dinner with another man, especially when I and my husband was dealing with the same problems that had been keeping me awake at night. Yet, when Adrian's message came in that Thursday afternoon, I caught myself smiling before I had even read it twice. That was what bothered me. Though nothing had happened between us, and I had already told him I was married. Still, I couldn't deny that I wanted to see him again, and I didn't know what to make of that feeling.He hadn't rushed me or asked me to trust him blindly. That was one thing I liked about him. But liking someone's manners didn't mean I should start getting comfortable around him.I typed a reply, then deleted it. I tried again, only to delete that one too. Then, finally, I sent him the trut

    Roosevelt’s POVThe following morning, I arrived at the office determined to get through the day's work without allowing the previous day's events to distract me.Unfortunately, the moment I stepped out of the car, my mind returned to the message Zyran had shown me the night before.Even after a restless sleep, I still couldn't decide whether the message was a genuine warning or an attempt to turn us against the people around us. I had no evidence to support either possibility.And I hated not knowing.“Good morning, ma'am.”My receptionist approached me as I entered the building, taking my handbag to help me carry it into the office.“Good morning,” I replied.“Would you like me to bring you some coffee?”“Not yet, thank you. I'll let you know if I need anything.” I said as she nodded, carried my bag into my office, and placed it beside my desk before leaving.I thanked her and settled into my chair, hoping that getting started on work would help clear my head.There were reports wai

    Zyran’s POVBy the time I drove into the compound, Roosevelt was already waiting near the gate, glancing down the road every few seconds.The moment I pulled in, Lorna spotted her mother through the car window as her face lit up, and she immediately reached for the door handle.“Mommy!”“Careful, sweetheart,” I reminded her as I brought the car to a stop.Then the moment I unlocked the doors, Lorna climbed out and ran straight into Roosevelt’s waiting arms. Roosevelt laughed, bending to catch her as their embrace nearly sent her stumbling backward.“There’s my girl,” she said, kissing Lorna’s forehead. “Did you miss me that much?”Lorna nodded enthusiastically, wrapping both arms around her mother’s waist.“I miss you mommy!” she said beaming with smiles.“Oh, really? Then I suppose I should prepare myself.” Roosevelt replied happily.While they were talking, I stepped out of the car and went around to the other side to get Julian who had been unusually quiet during the drive, but the

    ZYRAN'S POV By the time I pulled up outside my daughter's school, the woman was gone.I drove the car into park, barely giving the engine time to settle before I climbed out and headed straight for the gate. My eyes swept across the sidewalk, the parked cars, and the small group of parents gathered near the entrance, but there was no sign of a red-haired woman."Where is she?" I demanded as I approached the gateman.The older man looked up from his chair, apparently unimpressed by my sudden appearance. He was wearing a faded blue uniform, and a small radio crackled beside his elbow."Who's that, sir?""The woman who was standing here a few minutes ago. Where did she go?"The man leaned back in his chair and gave me a look that immediately got under my skin."You mean the woman who was here asking about the children?""Yes, her." I stepped closer to the gate. "Where did she go?"He shook his head and clicked his tongue."Ah, sir, you people like to wait until the last minute before yo

    ROOSEVELT'S POV The office door closed behind Maya, leaving an uncomfortable silence left between me and Nixie. Nixie stood beside her desk for a moment, her eyes lingering on the door before she finally turned away and heaved a sigh of relief. I couldn't tell whether she was still thinking about the handbag or simply trying to put the conversation with her cousin behind her. Either way, I decided not to ask. We had enough unanswered questions without adding assumptions to the list. So, I reached for my phone, intending to call Daniel again to know if any news came up, when Nixie spoke interrupting me. “Roosevelt?” I looked up. “Yes?” “Would you mind if we went out for lunch?” I stared at her, wondering whether I'd heard correctly. “Lunch?” “Yes, lunch.” She gave me a small, almost embarrassed smile. “An actual meal. Just somewhere we can just cook off a bit.” Despite myself, I laughed. “Are you suggesting we abandon our responsibilities in the middle of the workday?” “I

    The sun was shining through the heavy curtains of the guest bedroom, but I felt like I was under a dark cloud. I stared at my phone screen, the message from the unknown number was still there. The picture of Zyran and Mina looking so happy together mocked me. “I’ll enjoy him later.” "Stop looking

    "He thinks I'm you?," I asked, my voice shaking. The room suddenly felt cold. I looked at the door, half-expecting someone to burst in. Zyran's expression turned serious. He grabbed his phone and quickly dialed a number. "Security," he said sharply. "Code Red, I need four men at my wife’s door r

    My body hit the wooden floor at the bottom of the stairs with a hard, dull sound. A sharp pain shot through my ankle, and my head spun. For a moment, I couldn't breathe, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to figure out what had just happened. "Roosevelt!" I heard heavy footsteps r
