That night at the gentlemen’s club felt like it stretched forever, like time itself had slowed just to torture Franklin.

Cassie was half-conscious in his arms as he carried her out, her body warm, soft, and completely trusting.

Her arms were wrapped tightly around his neck, fingers digging in like she was afraid he’d disappear if she let go. Even after he carefully placed her into the passenger seat, she refused to release him.

“Cassie,” he said gently, trying not to sound shaken, “you have to let go. If I don’t get you to the hospital on time, your condition could get worse.”

She frowned at him like a stubborn child, lips pushed into a dramatic pout. Her words came out slow and slurred. “I wish you didn’t look like Fred… but you’re so good-looking.”

His breath hitched. Heat rushed straight to his face, burning his cheeks. He swallowed hard, trying to remind himself she wasn&r

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 97 – Who is she?

    “Uncle Jonathan!”Tristan shot out of the pool like a rocket, water splashing everywhere as he ran straight into the arms of a tall, blond man standing at the edge.Jonathan laughed and lifted him easily, like Tristan weighed nothing at all.Jonathan Whitmore, Franklin’s longtime friend. A world-renowned lawyer with a flawless record, the kind of man judges respected and opponents feared. He never lost a case. Not once.And yet, Franklin had never hired him. Not because Jonathan wasn’t good enough, but because Franklin liked his walls solid and his business strictly professional. Mixing friendship and power always led to messes.Franklin didn’t move right away. His eyes flicked instead to Cassie, still in the pool, sunlight dancing over her skin.“I’ll get him out of here,” Franklin said calmly. “You go change, and then we’ll have breakfast.”Cassie caught the meaning i

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 96 – Where are you going, looking like that?

    Tristan burst into laughter, the sound ringing freely through the hallway, untouched by restraint or worry.“Daddy paints once in a while,” he said, almost conspiratorially. “But he doesn’t let anyone see it. He says they’re not good enough.”Cassie’s brows lifted in surprise. She turned slowly toward Franklin, curiosity stirring. It was strange how every new piece of him she discovered felt like peeling back a carefully guarded layer.“I’d actually love to see you paint,” she said honestly. “I don’t have that talent at all, but I admire art. Paintings feel surreal. Like emotions frozen in color.”For a moment, Franklin didn’t answer.Then the corner of his mouth lifted slightly, not quite a smile, but something close. “I don’t paint anything you’d admire,” he said quietly. “It’s not art. It’s just noise. I do it to clear my

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 95 – Frank, do you paint?

    Sleep vanished from Cassie’s eyes the instant Nathaniel’s voice sharpened through the phone.The warmth she usually associated with him was gone, replaced by something tighter, possessive, unsettled, and unmistakably edged with anger.“It’s not what you think,” she said quickly, pushing herself upright in bed, the sheets pooling around her waist. “Let’s talk over dinner.”There was a pause on the other end, heavy and telling.“Yes,” Nathaniel replied at last, his tone grave. “We have to.”The line went dead, but Cassie didn’t lower the phone right away.Nathaniel sounded like a man who felt something precious slipping through his fingers, and Franklin was not a rival anyone underestimated.The truth was painful and complicated. Nathaniel’s work consumed him in a way few people could understand.Human lives depended on his decisions, his presence

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 94 – Cassie… what’s going on

    Cassie still struggled to breathe past the weight pressing on her chest. No matter how many days passed, the guilt refused to loosen its grip.Being blamed, no, being believed to be responsible for Sienna’s miscarriage had carved a hollow place inside her.If she could prove her innocence, truly prove it, maybe the tightness would finally ease. Maybe she would feel light again.“I’ll add it to my plans when I return to Manhattan,” Franklin said calmly, his voice steady but lacking its usual edge.“From what I heard, Alex is currently in Chicago. I’ll see him when the food shipment goes out on Monday. But since Titan Capital is expanding operations there, I’ll be staying a few extra days.”“You’ve already done so much for me,” Cassie said honestly. Gratitude welled up in her voice, unguarded and raw. “I don’t even know how to thank you.”This time, Franklin di

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 92 – I hope you two get married soon

    Evelyn leaned back in her chair as she read through Natalie’s lengthy review, her brows knitting tighter with every line.“I don’t know how this place keeps calling itself a wellness center. If you’re looking for serenity, you’d be better off meditating in a traffic jam. The so-called relaxation rooms felt more like storage closets with mood lighting, and the organic smoothies tasted suspiciously like someone blended kale with regret.The staff? Let’s just say they smile a lot, probably because they know you’re paying premium prices for services that barely qualify as pampering. Their idea of a massage was more like a confused pat on the back.And don’t get me started on the ambiance. If mismatched furniture and a playlist stuck on the same three flute tracks count as luxury, then sure, they nailed it.Honestly, I don’t understand how they’re still in business. Maybe they’re good at marketing, but if you want actual wellness, look elsewhere.”Evelyn exhaled sharply. The review was har

  • The Ex-Wife’s Mega Comeback   Chapter 93 – The agreement was dating, not marriage

    Hours had passed since Tristan went to bed, his laughter and excited chatter replaced by the hush of the house. Dinner had felt warm, almost normal, like something borrowed from a life neither Cassie nor Franklin was sure they were allowed to have.Yet the boy’s innocent declaration lingered in the air long after he disappeared into his room.No one had known how to respond. Not even Franklin.The silence had followed them like a shadow until Franklin finally spoke.“About what Tristan said earlier…” He paused, choosing his words carefully. “Don’t take it seriously. I know you’re still healing.”Cassie nodded, a quiet sigh slipping from her chest before she could stop it.The mention of marriage had struck something raw inside her, an old wound she had spent years trying to close.She hadn’t healed. Not from seven years of marriage that had taught her how deeply neglect could cut.
