ROOSEVELT’S POV

"Zyran, I can't breathe," I gasped, holding onto his shirt. "My chest hurts."

"Look at me," Zyran said softly. He cradled my face in his hands. "Breathe with me, Roosevelt. In and out. I won't let him keep her. I promise."

"He is crazy," I sobbed, shaking my head. "He thinks he is saving me."

"He is a dead man," Zyran hissed. "I will tear his entire company down. I will—"

My phone rang again, startling us.

I stared at the screen, this time, it wasn't an unknown number. It was Ni

  • The Billionaire's Forsaken Wife    Chapter 60

    ROOSEVELT’S POV"Zyran, I can't breathe," I gasped, holding onto his shirt. "My chest hurts.""Look at me," Zyran said softly. He cradled my face in his hands. "Breathe with me, Roosevelt. In and out. I won't let him keep her. I promise.""He is crazy," I sobbed, shaking my head. "He thinks he is saving me.""He is a dead man," Zyran hissed. "I will tear his entire company down. I will—"My phone rang again, startling us.I stared at the screen, this time, it wasn't an unknown number. It was Nixie.My hands shook so much I almost dropped the phone. I hit the green button and put it on speaker."Nixie?" I cried out. "Did the police find anything?""Rose!" Nixie screamed. She wasn't crying in fear anymore. She sobbed with joy. "Rose, she is here! She is right here!"The world stopped."What?" I whispered, feeling lightheaded. "Nixie, what are you saying?""She is back!" Nixie laughed and cried at the same time. "I was standing by the police cars, and I just looked over at the swings. Sh

  • The Billionaire's Forsaken Wife    Chapter 59

    ROOSEVELT’S POV"Somebody took her."The words echoed through the phone. Time seemed to freeze, the sun suddenly felt freezing cold."Nixie, what are you saying?!" I yelled. My legs gave out beneath me. I hit the concrete driveway hard, scraping my knees. "Who took her?!""I don't know!" Nixie cried. Police sirens blared loudly in the background. "We were at the park! She was right next to me on the swings! I turned to throw away a juice box, and when I looked back... she was gone, Rose! A woman said she saw a man put her in a black car!"I struggled to breathe. Black spots danced in my vision. I dropped the phone onto the ground. I grabbed my hair, pulling it, trying to wake up from this nightmare."My baby," I choked out, lungs burning. "My baby!"Zyran didn’t panic.He dropped to his knees beside me and snatched the phone off the ground and pressed it to his ear."Nixie. It’s Zyran," he commanded. His voice was a deep, terrifying rumble of authority. "Stop crying. Tell me exactly w

    ROOSEVELT’S POV"And tomorrow, I am starting with her."Zyran’s words were cold, hard, and full of vengeance. He looked out the window of the jet with his jaw clenched tight. I studied his face and gently placed my hand on his cheek.He turned his head quickly, leaning into my touch. His dark eyes softened just for me."No, Zyran," I whispered softly.Zyran frowned. "What do you mean, no? She threatened to take Lorna. She brought that DNA test to your door to hurt you. I have to punish her.""You don't have to do that," I said, keeping my voice calm and steady. "You don’t have to strip her of her name or her rights.""Roosevelt, she abused you for four years," Zyran argued, his voice rising with anger. He grabbed my hand and kissed my palm. "She slapped you, she called you terrible names. I cannot let her get away with that. I have to make her pay.""Why?" I asked, looking directly into his eyes."Because she caused you pain!" Zyran said fiercely. "She hurt my family!""And because t

    ROOSEVELT POV "I am not going to New York," I said, dropping the envelope onto his desk. "You cannot force me to leave my daughter."Zyran didn’t even glance at the envelope. His eyes stayed glued to his computer screen."It’s forty-eight hours, Ms. Evans," Zyran replied. His voice sounded empty. "Nixie will watch her.""You don’t control Nixie!" I shot back, my hands curling into fists."I do now," Zyran said flatly. He finally looked up, his dark eyes icy. "I approved her hiring this morning. She is my new project manager. If you want your best friend to keep her job, you will get on that plane."I gasped, the air leaving my lungs. "You’re blackmailing me?""I am conducting business," Zyran said smoothly as he closed his laptop. "The private jet leaves at eight o’clock tonight. Be on it.""What is this meeting, Zyran?" I demanded, my voice trembling with frustration. "Why do I have to be there?""You will find out when we land," he said coldly. "Dismissed."I stared at him, wanting

    ROOSEVELT’S POV"Put my daughter down. Right now."The words tore out of Zyran’s throat like a dangerous growl.The whole world seemed to stand still. My heart crashed against my ribs."Your daughter?" Lorna shouted from Mateo’s shoulders. She tilted her head, looking around the crowded zoo. "Is your little girl here, Mr. Zyran? Where is she?"Mateo frowned, his eyes narrowing at Zyran.Panic drove me to act faster than I ever had. I stepped between the two tall men, completely blocking Zyran’s view of Mateo."He means my daughter, Mateo," I said loudly, forcing a nervous laugh. I looked up at Lorna and smiled. "Mr. King is my boss, bug. He is just very confused, he works too much."Mateo’s jaw tightened, he knew exactly what I was doing, he played along to protect Lorna."Ah, the boss," Mateo said coldly, looking over my head at Zyran. "Well, Ms. Evans is off the clock today, Mr. King. And her daughter is perfectly safe with me."Zyran didn’t look at Mateo, he focused on me.His ches

    ROOSEVELT’S POVI saw Zyran across the cafe with Elena. He smiled at her while pouring her wine. He played his cold, detached game perfectly.I took a deep breath and wiped a tear from my cheek.If he wants to play this game, I thought, my heart turning cold, then I will play it better.I turned away from his table and looked directly at Mateo. I gave him a bright smile."You are right, Mateo," I said softly. "He is choosing someone else. And I am done crying over a man who doesn't want me."Mateo’s eyes lit up. He squeezed my hand. "Do you mean that, Roosevelt?""I do," I promised. "I would love to take Lorna to the zoo with you on Sunday.""That makes me the happiest man in Milan," Mateo smiled.For the rest of lunch, I didn’t glance back. I didn’t see if Zyran was watching. I focused entirely on Mateo. We talked about art and food while laughing loudly. I let Mateo hold my hand on the table for everyone to see.When we finally stood to leave, Mateo gently placed his hand on my lowe
