The Billionaire’s Wife Revenge Plot Chapter 50
Lily’s pov My wrists had gone raw hours ago, the rope biting deep enough that every small movement sent fresh fire through skin already rubbed thin.I'd stopped fighting the restraints sometime in the night, my strength finally giving out somewhere between exhaustion and the particular hopelessness of understanding, with total clarity, that no amount of struggling would loosen a knot tied by men who clearly knew exactly what they were doing. I'd cried until there was nothing left to cry with, my throat raw, my eyes swollen, the isolated house holding my grief with the same indifferent silence it had held everything else since Katherine first locked that door.I'd spent the long hours in between trying to keep my mind occupied with anything other than the fear, running through every memory of Alexander I had, cataloguing them carefully, as though holding onto them tightly enough might somehow bring him closer. The way he'd looked at me across that rooftop restaurant. The particular ge

Alexander’s pov Marcus called just after nine the next morning, his voice carrying the particular careful neutrality of someone delivering news he knew wouldn't satisfy."Nothing concrete yet," he said. "I've traced her movements up through the day she left the apartment. After that, the trail goes cold. No credit card activity, no phone pings, nothing on any camera footage in the areas we'd expect her to pass through.""That's not possible." I paced the length of my office, phone pressed hard against my ear. "A person doesn't simply vanish without leaving something behind.""Someone who knew what they were doing could manage it," Marcus said, and the particular grim certainty in his voice did nothing to settle the growing dread sitting in my chest. "Which tells us something in itself. This isn't a woman who ran off on impulse, Mr. Sterling. This has the marks of something planned."I stopped pacing."I want you watching Lara specifically," I said. "And James Wood, if you can locate

Alexander’s pov My mind wouldn't stay still.I'd tried, genuinely tried, to follow Grandma Rose's instructions and rest at the house for a second full day, propped up in that borrowed study with a cast on my arm and a mind that refused to cooperate with anything resembling calm. Every hour I spent sitting idle only left more room for the same unanswerable questions to circle endlessly, where Lily had gone, who had constructed that fake hospital text with such precision, why the photograph Anna produced had felt wrong the moment I'd first looked at it despite offering no obvious tell as to how.I'd lasted until nearly noon before the walls started closing in properly, every unanswered question circling louder and louder until sitting still felt like its own particular form of torture."You shouldn't be going anywhere," Grandma Rose had said, arms crossed in the doorway, watching me struggle one-handed into my jacket with obvious disapproval."I need to check something at the office. I

Sleep never properly came.I spent the night moving from room to room in that small, locked house, pulling open drawers, checking beneath cushions, searching every corner with the particular desperate thoroughness of someone who understood, with growing certainty, exactly how much danger she'd walked into. I checked the same drawers twice, three times, as though sheer repetition might conjure a phone into existence where none had been the first time around.No phone. No landline mounted anywhere on the walls. No forgotten charger, no spare device tucked away in a drawer, nothing at all that might connect me to the outside world. Even the television, I discovered near midnight, had lost its signal entirely, a single blank blue screen greeting me no matter which button I pressed, as though someone had disconnected the aerial.By the time grey morning light began creeping through the barred windows, I'd stopped searching and simply sat curled on the worn sofa, arms wrapped around my knee

Lily’s pov I woke slowly, the unfamiliar ceiling taking a moment to resolve into memory, the small house, the quiet countryside, Katherine's promise to return by evening.The morning light filtering through the curtains carried a soft, pale quality, the kind that came before a house had properly woken up around you. I lay there a moment longer than necessary, one hand resting against my still-flat stomach, feeling the particular strange loneliness of waking alone in a place that wasn't yet familiar enough to feel safe.I thought, briefly, of Alexander, the particular warmth of waking beside him these past weeks, his arm already curled around me before either of us had fully surfaced from sleep. I pushed the thought away as quickly as it arrived. I didn't have the strength this morning to untangle my feelings about him. Grief and love and betrayal all sat too close together in my chest, indistinguishable from one another most days, and I'd learned it was easier simply not to examine a

Alexander’s pov Two days.Two days since the crash, since the photograph, since David had driven himself half-mad searching every corner of the city for a woman who seemed to have simply vanished from it entirely. Two days of a cast on my arm and a headache that hadn't fully released its grip, and beneath both of those, a deeper ache that no amount of prescribed rest seemed capable of touching.I lay in the hospital bed each night running through the same fractured pieces of information, turning them over and over like a puzzle missing half its edges, trying to force some coherent shape out of a situation that refused to make sense no matter how many angles I approached it from.Lenox Hill had no record of her.David had checked twice, in person, speaking directly with admissions and then with the head of nursing when the first search came back empty. No Lilian Sterling admitted on the night in question. No Lilian, either, in case the paperwork had somehow reverted to her old name. N
