The Billonaire’s Nemesis ; Depth of Revenge Chapter 33
The next morning, Maya woke up earlier than she expected.For a few seconds, she stayed under the covers, staring at the ceiling while her mind slowly caught up with her. The events of the previous night came back in pieces—the conversation with Victor, everything they had uncovered so far, and the uncomfortable feeling that Cassie was still keeping something from her.She reached for her phone from the bedside table before she even sat up.A few notifications were waiting for her. Maya ignored most of them and opened her messages first.She wasn’t expecting to see Victor’s name.“ My friend finally found something. We tracked Austin.”Maya sat up immediately.She read the message again.Then a third time, just to make sure she hadn’t misunderstood it.Austin.After all the searching, all the questions and dead ends, they finally knew where he was.A smile slowly appeared on Maya’s face.She quickly typed a reply.“ Are you serious?”The response came almost immediately.“ Very. I’ll

Maya found Cassie in the kitchen when she came through the back door.Cassie was standing beside the counter, sorting vegetables into a large bowl while the radio played quietly behind her. The smell of onions and fresh herbs filled the room, and for a second, the scene felt so ordinary that Maya almost forgot why she had come home with her thoughts in such a mess.Cassie looked up when she heard the door close.“You’re back early.”Maya placed her handbag on the counter.“Am I?”Cassie gave her a small smile. “A little.”“I didn’t realize.”Cassie returned to the vegetables, but Maya continued watching her.“Did everything go well?”The question sounded innocent enough. Cassie’s smile looked natural, and her hands continued moving as though there was nothing unusual about Maya’s return.That was exactly what made Maya uncomfortable.She had spent the entire drive home thinking about the old photograph, the warning message, and the company Ethan had traced back to one of Will’s former

The message remained on Maya’s screen long after the car had left the old house behind.Stop digging into the past.The message remained on Maya’s screen long after the car had left the old house behind.Stop digging into the past.She read it again.Then once more.The words were simple, but they made something cold settle in her stomach.Victor noticed that she hadn’t said a word for several minutes. He kept his eyes on the road, but his attention was clearly on her.“You’re going to burn a hole through that phone.”Maya didn’t look up.“I want to know who sent it.”“So do I.”“Then don’t tell me to ignore it.”“I’m not telling you to ignore it.”Victor glanced at her briefly before returning his attention to the road.“I’m telling you not to answer.”Maya finally lowered the phone.“What if they send another message?”“Then we save it.”“And if they call?”“We don’t answer.”She frowned.“You make it sound easy.”“It isn’t.”His voice softened.“That’s why I’m asking you to be caref

Maya arrived at the old house before Victor.She parked across the street and remained inside the car for a moment, staring at the familiar building.It looked smaller than she remembered.Maybe it was because she had changed.Five years could do that to a person.The house had once been the place she rushed home to. She remembered choosing curtains with Will, arguing over where the dining table should go, and spending an entire Saturday putting together a bookshelf that neither of them actually knew how to assemble.She almost smiled.Then the memories became harder.The arguments.The long silences.The nights Will came home hours later than he had promised.Maya reached for the door handle.She stopped.A strange feeling settled in her chest.She didn’t know what she expected to find inside.Maybe nothing.Maybe everything.She stepped out of the car.The house was no longer theirs. Will had kept it after the divorce, but it had remained mostly unused since he moved his main operat

The following morning arrived far too quickly.Maya had barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, another memory surfaced. Some were ordinary enough to make her smile for a second before the feeling disappeared. Others refused to leave her alone.She kept seeing Will standing on the balcony with his phone pressed to his ear.She remembered the way he always lowered his voice whenever she walked into the room.She remembered Cassie standing inside his study that afternoon, looking as surprised as Maya had been.Back then, none of it had seemed important.Now every memory demanded another look.The sound of her alarm pulled her out of her thoughts.She reached across the bedside table and switched it off before it could ring again.For a moment, she remained where she was, staring at the ceiling.She was tired.Not because she hadn’t slept.Because thinking had become exhausting.After getting ready, she walked downstairs.The smell of freshly brewed coffee drifted from the kitchen.

Maya stood quietly in front of the board, her eyes resting on the names Victor had written.A few black lines. A handful of names.That was all.Yet somehow it felt like her entire life had been reduced to ink on a corkboard.Will Haider.Cassie.Austin Reed.Sophie.She had spent years trying to leave that part of her life behind. Now she was standing here, pulling it apart piece by piece, hoping something she had overlooked would finally make sense.Victor didn’t interrupt her thoughts.He simply dragged a chair closer and sat opposite her.“Close your eyes.”Maya looked at him, unconvinced.“What?”“I’m serious.”She let out a quiet laugh.“You’ve officially run out of investigative techniques.”“Humor me.”She studied him for another second before finally giving in.With a sigh, she closed her eyes.“What exactly am I looking for?”“Nothing.”Victor folded his arms comfortably.“I don’t want the night everything went wrong.”“I don’t want the affair.”“I don’t want the attacks.”H
