Mia stared at the folded paper inside the velvet box.

For a moment, she couldn't breathe.

She recognized the handwriting immediately.

Her handwriting.

The wedding vows she had written for Ethan two years ago.

She had spent three nights writing them, trying to find the perfect words to describe what he meant to her. She had wanted him to understand that marrying him wasn't about his money, his family name, or the luxurious life he could offer her.

She had married him because she loved him.

  • The billionaire begged me to come back    Chapter 31

    Mia had just finished reviewing a contract when her assistant knocked.“Ms. Bennett, there's someone here to see you.”“Who is it?”“Mr. Carter.”Her pen stopped moving.For a moment, she considered asking her assistant to tell him she was busy. Ethan had become a regular presence in her life lately, appearing with apologies, small acts of kindness, and promises he was finally learning to keep.But she had a business to run, and she refused to let her former husband dictate how her day would go.“Tell him he has five minutes.”A few moments later, Ethan entered.He wore a charcoal suit, his tie slightly loose, and carried no flowers or expensive gifts. He looked tired, as though sleep had become a luxury he could no longer afford.Mia pointed to the chair opposite her desk.“You have five minutes.”Ethan sat down.“Thank you for seeing me.”“You haven't used

  • The billionaire begged me to come back    Chapter 30 — The Words That Came Too Late

    Mia stared at Ethan's message for nearly a minute.I was never ashamed of you, Mia. I was ashamed of how much I needed you.Once, those words would have been enough to make her cry with happiness. Once, she would have read them repeatedly, searching for hidden affection in every sentence he sent her.Now, they only reminded her of how long she had waited to hear something like that.She placed her phone facedown on the bed.Ryan's voice came from the doorway. "Everything okay?"Mia looked up. He was holding two cups of tea, wearing the relaxed smile that had slowly become one of her favorite things about him."Yes. Just a message.""From him?"She didn't pretend not to understand."Yes."Ryan walked into the room and placed one cup beside her. He didn't ask to see the message or demand to know what Ethan had said.That was one of the things Mia appreciated about him. Ryan neve

  • The billionaire begged me to come back    Chapter 29

    Ethan read Mia's note for the sixth time.I kept this because I thought one day you'd give me a reason to wear it again.I'm sorry I waited so long.But I'm not waiting anymore.He stared at the wedding ring lying in his palm.He had signed the divorce papers because Mia had asked him to. He had told himself that letting her go was the first real act of love he had given her.But somewhere inside, he had still hoped she would return.He had hoped she would remember the good moments, forgive the bad ones, and eventually look at him the way she once had.Now, holding the ring, he understood something he had refused to accept.Mia wasn't waiting for him anymore.And she might never start again.His office door opened.Daniel entered with a folder."Sir, the Anderson partnership agreement is ready for your signature."Ethan placed the ring and note inside his desk drawer."Leave it there."Daniel set down the folder but didn't leave."Have you spoken to Mia?"Ethan gave him a tired look.

She had wanted him to understand that marrying him wasn't about his money, his family name, or the luxurious life he could offer her.She had married him because she loved him.But on their wedding day, Ethan had barely looked at the paper.He had placed it inside his jacket pocket, promised to read it later, and forgotten about it.Mia had waited weeks.Then months.Eventually, she had stopped asking.Now, he was standing in front of her with those same vows in his hands."Why do you have this?" she asked quietly.Ethan looked down at the paper."I found it while packing some of your belongings.""You kept it?""I never knew where it was."Mia laughed bitterly."You never

    Mia never expected to see Ryan standing in front of Ethan Carter's office with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.Especially not on a Monday morning.She stopped walking.Ryan noticed her immediately, and his face brightened."Good morning, beautiful."Mia blinked."Beautiful?""Would you prefer Your Majesty?"She laughed before she could stop herself."You're ridiculous.""And yet, you smiled."He handed her the flowers.White roses.Her favorite.Mia accepted them, feeling a warmth she hadn't experienced in a long time."Thank you, Ryan.""You're welcome. Have breakfast with me?""I have a meeting in twenty minutes.""Then I'll steal fifteen.""You can't just steal people's time.""Apparently, I can. I'm a very dangerous man."She laughed again.From inside his office, Ethan watched the entire exchange through the glass wall.He saw the way Mia's shoulders relaxed around Ryan.He heard her laughter.And he saw something that hurt more than he wanted to admit.She hadn't laughed like

  • 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
