The billionaire begged me to come back Chapter 26
Mia couldn't stop thinking about Vanessa's name.It was written at the bottom of the document in black ink.A signature.A connection.Proof that Vanessa's involvement in her life had started long before the divorce.Mia sat in the passenger seat of Ethan's car as they drove away from the Carter mansion.Neither of them spoke.Finally, Mia broke the silence.“How long have you known?”Ethan glanced at her.“About Vanessa?”“Yes.”“I suspected something was wrong months ago.”“And you still trusted her.”His hands tightened around the steering wheel.“I know.”“You defended her.”“I know.”“You let her stand beside you while I was falling apart.”Ethan swallowed.“I know.”Mia looked out the window.Every time he admitted it, the pain became sharper.But this time, Ethan didn't try to defend himself.He simply accepted the blame.After several minutes, he said, “I'm not asking you to forgive me.”“Good.”“I don't deserve it yet.”Mia looked at him.“Yet?”Ethan's eyes remained on the r

Vanessa’s words hung in the room.“Someone has been pretending to be your father.”Mia stared at her, unable to breathe.“My father has been dead for years.”“I know.”“Then what are you talking about?”Vanessa gave a bitter laugh. “I’m talking about the man who has been using his name.”Ethan stepped closer. “Enough games, Vanessa. Explain.”Vanessa looked at him.“For years, someone has been using Bennett family documents to move money. Your mother’s records were never destroyed. Neither were Mia’s father’s.”Mia’s hands trembled.“Who?”Vanessa shook her head. “I don't know his real name. My father called him Mr. Bennett.”“That’s impossible,” Mia whispered.“No. It’s convenient.”Ethan immediately moved beside Mia.She noticed.Not because he touched her.Because he wanted to.But he stopped himself.That small gesture hurt more than she expected.Months ago, Ethan would have pulled her into his arms without asking.Now he waited.Respecting the distance she had created.Mia looke

Mia couldn't breathe.The recording had stopped.But her mother's final words remained trapped in her mind.“The person I never trusted was…”Then the audio had cut out.Mia slowly turned toward Ethan's mother.The older woman's face had gone completely pale.Ethan noticed.“Mother?”She didn't answer.Mia stepped closer.“What did my mother mean?”Still nothing.“Who was she talking about?”Ethan's mother closed her eyes.“Mia…”“Don't.”Mia's voice shook.“Don't call me that like you have the right to comfort me.”Ethan stepped toward Mia.“Mia, wait.”She turned on him.“Your mother knew something.”“I know.”“She was there when my mother was alive.”“I know.”“And now my mother's recording stops right when she's about to name someone.”Ethan looked at his mother.“Tell us.”The older woman remained silent.Vanessa suddenly laughed.“You still don't understand, Ethan.”He turned sharply.“What?”“Your mother wasn't protecting Mia.”Vanessa looked at Mia.“She was protecting herself
The billionaire begged me to come back chapter 23 Vanessa was waiting
The old Bennett apartment looked exactly as Mia remembered it.The faded curtains.The narrow hallway.The cracked flower vase beside the entrance.Her mother's old home.The place where Mia had spent some of the happiest years of her childhood.And now Vanessa was waiting inside.Mia stood across the street, staring at the building.Ryan stood beside her.Ethan was on her other side.Neither man had allowed her to come alone.“I still think this is a bad idea,” Ethan said.Mia looked at him.“So do I.”“Then we don't have to go in.”Mia shook her head.“She has my mother's video.”“And she wants you to come inside.”“I know.”Ethan looked frustrated.“Mia, this could be exactly what she wants.”“I know.”“Then why are you doing this?”Mia looked at the apartment.“Becau

Mia kept the small key tightly closed in her palm.It was such a tiny thing.Yet somehow, it felt heavier than anything she had ever held.Her mother's last secret.A secret Ethan's mother had protected for years.And now, it belonged to her.“We should leave,” Ethan said.Mia looked at him.“Ryan is coming.”“I know.”There was no jealousy in his voice this time.Just acceptance.A few minutes later, Ryan arrived at the mansion.The moment he entered the room, his eyes went straight to Mia.“Are you okay?”Mia nodded.“I will be.”Ryan looked at Ethan.Then at the key in Mia's hand.“What is that?”“My mother left a safety deposit box.”Ryan's expression became serious.“And you think it contains evidence?”“Yes.”Ethan's mother stood near the window.“She believed whoever had it could expose the people responsible for what happened.”Ryan looked at her.“Then why didn't you open it?”“Because your mother's instructions were clear.”She looked at Mia.“It was for you.”Mia's throat t

Mia stared at the signature. Vanessa Moore. The name seemed to burn into her mind. For years, Vanessa had been the woman standing beside Ethan. The woman Mia had secretly compared herself to. The woman Ethan had trusted when he should have trusted his wife. But now Mia was looking at proof that Vanessa's involvement went far beyond her marriage. “How?” Mia whispered. Ethan was still holding the document. “I don't know.” Mia looked at him. “You trusted her.” The words were quiet, but they hurt more than shouting would have. “I know.” “You defended her.” “I know.” “You accused me because of her.” Ethan lowered his eyes. “I know.” Mia stepped closer. “And while I was begging you to believe me, she already knew things about my family.” Ethan's jaw tightened. “I should have seen it.” “But you didn't.” “No.” His voice broke. “I didn't.” Mia turned away. She needed to breathe. Ryan's words came back to her. Don't choose Ethan because you feel sorry for him. She
