Lucas

The last thing I remember before everything went dark was the doctor's kind face above me, telling me to count backward from ten.

"Ten... nine... eight..." And then everything went dark

I don't know how long I was in that darkness, but suddenly I became aware of pain, sharp, burning pain in my side that made me want to scream. But I couldn't scream. I couldn't move. I couldn't open my eyes.

I tried to fight my way back to consciousness, but my body felt like it was wrapped in thick cotton. Everything was heavy and distant.

"Mom," I thought desperately. "I need my mom."

What if something had gone wrong? What if I were dying and I'd never see Mom or Lily again? What if this was it?

Fear crashed over me in waves. I was only six years old. I wasn't ready to die. I had so much I still wanted to do, still wanted to say.

I wanted to tell Mom I loved her one more time. I wanted to hug Lily and tell her she was the best sister in the world. I even wanted to see Phil get better, to know

  • The CEO's Ex-wife Return As A Billionaire Heiress    chapter 127

    Alex When the meeting finally ended, I returned to my office feeling like I had been beaten with a baseball bat. I closed the door, loosened my tie, and sank into my chair, staring at the city skyline through my window.Everything was falling apart. My mother was dying. Vanessa was terrorizing my family. Lucas hated me. Phil was afraid to come home. Emily was moving on with Nathaniel. And now my company... my father's legacy was on the verge of collapse.A knock on the door interrupted my spiral into despair."Come in," I called.Abigail entered, carrying her tablet and looking worried. "How bad was it?""As bad as you expect. They gave me until Friday to secure the King's Empire deal, or they're going to start discussing my removal as CEO."Abigail's eyes widened. "They can't do that. You're the majority shareholder.""I own forty percent of the company. If the other sixty percent of shareholders vote against me, they can remove me. And right now, with the way things are going, they

    AlexI arrived at the office the next morning with barely three hours of sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Nathaniel's lips on Emily's cheek, his hand casually touching her arm like he had every right to be that close to her."Good morning, Mr. Thompson," Abigail greeted me as I walked past her desk. Then she got a good look at my face and frowned. "Are you alright? You look terrible.""Thanks," I said dryly. "Just what every man wants to hear first thing in the morning.""I'm serious. Did you sleep at all?""A little." I loosened my tie, already feeling suffocated. "What's on the schedule today?"Abigail's expression turned grim. "The board meeting is in thirty minutes. Conference room A. They have requested a full financial update and strategy discussion."My stomach dropped. I have been dreading this meeting all week. "Right. The board meeting.""Alex," Abigail said quietly, glancing around to make sure no one was listening. "They're not happy. The stock prices have been dr

    AlexI left the hospital around 10 PM, exhausted and emotionally drained. Abigail had stayed with me for hours, offering quiet support and even making me laugh a few times with stories about mishaps at the office. She has been exactly what I needed, a friend without judgment or complicated history.As I drove home, I pulled out my phone at a red light and called Emily.She answered on the second ring. "Alex? Is everything okay?""Yes, sorry for calling so late. I just wanted to check on the boys before I went to sleep."I heard her moving, probably stepping away from wherever the children were. "They're both doing great. Lucas fell asleep around eight-thirty, and Phil just went down about twenty minutes ago. No fever, no complaints about pain. They're healing beautifully."Relief washed over me. "Thank you. And Lily?""Asleep in her room. She was reading to Phil before bed. it was actually really sweet.""That sounds like her." I paused, then added, "Thank you, Emily. For taking care

    Alex The drive to City Hospital felt longer than usual. My phone rang just as I was pulling into the parking garage."Alex Thompson," I answered."Mr. Thompson, it's Abigail." My new secretary's voice was warm and professional. "I heard about what happened with your mother. I wanted to check on you and see if there's anything I can do to help."I was touched by her concern. "That's very kind of you, Abigail. I'm actually at the hospital now to see her.""How is she doing?""I'm about to find out. The doctors said she was stable after the incident, but...""Would you like some company?" Abigail asked. "I know hospitals can be lonely places, and I'm just leaving the office anyway."I hesitated. It would be nice to have someone there, someone who wasn't judging my every move or comparing me to Nathaniel."If you don't mind," I said. "That would actually be nice.""I'll be there in twenty minutes."By the time I reached my mother's floor, I was mentally and physically exhausted. The poli

    AlexAfter the boys were settled on the couch with blankets and pillows, Emily pulled me aside into the kitchen. Nathaniel was in the living room with the children, and I could hear their laughter through the doorway, a sound that both warmed and broke my heart at the same time."Alex," Emily said quietly, her voice tense. "Did you know about your mother's attack? About Vanessa trying to get to her last night?"My stomach dropped. I should have known the detective would inform her. "Yes, I knew."Emily's eyes flashed with anger and disappointment. "And you didn't think to tell me?""I was going to...""When, Alex? When were you going to mention that the woman who kidnapped me less than two weeks ago broke into your mother's hospital room and tried to kill her?""Emily, please keep your voice down," I said, glancing toward the living room where the children were. "I didn't want to worry you. You've been so stressed with the boys' recovery...""Don't do that," Emily interrupted sharply.

    Emily After all the paperwork was signed and the boys were dressed in comfortable clothes for the ride home, we prepared to leave. The hospital staff had arranged for wheelchairs to take the boys down to the entrance, even though they could walk short distances."This is so cool," Phil said, sitting in his wheelchair. "I feel like a race car driver!"Lucas was quieter, but I could see relief in his eyes. He was ready to go home, to sleep in his own bed, to be in familiar surroundings.We made our way down to the lobby, where two cars were waiting: my SUV with Marcus and my security team, and Alex's Mercedes with his guards."Okay, boys," I said. "Let's get you home."Phil looked between the two cars, then at Alex, then at me. His face scrunched up with worry."I want to go with Ms. Emily," he said quietly.Alex's smile faltered. "Phil, you're coming home with me, champ. Remember? Your room is already ready for you.""But I want to stay with Ms. Emily and Lucas and Lily," Phil said, h
