Billionaire Ex-Wife’s Revenge のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Ethan's POV Ethan sat alone in his dimly lit living room, the glow from the television casting flickering shadows across his face. He wasn't paying close attention to the news anchor's voice, which droned on about the incident at the Montgomery launch. His thoughts were elsewhere, on Avery. The footage of flashing lights, police cars, and concerned partygoers replayed on the screen, and each time he saw Avery's name mentioned, his stomach tightened. He knew something had gone wrong that night, something that threatened his carefully laid plans.Ethan ran his fingers through his hair, frustration bubbling inside him. Why hadn't he gone to the launch? Why had he let pride and anger keep him away? If something had happened to Avery, his chances of getting back at Sasha would have slipped through his fingers like sand. Sasha, the woman who had used him, discarded him and moved on as though he had never existed. The thought of her infuriated him, but Avery was the key to everything.He cl

AveryI stood by the window, lost in thought, my gaze drifting across the lush gardens below. The warm sunlight danced through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the manicured lawn. The serene scene should have soothed me, but my mind was elsewhere.My recovery had been swift, thanks to Nathaniel's tireless care. He had been my rock, my shelter from the storm. Yet, his constant absence had begun to gnaw at me. The days blended together, each one filled with the silence of his absence.What was he hiding?Nathaniel would put himself at risk to protect me; I knew that. He had proven it time and again. But the feeling of being kept in the dark unsettled me. Was he shielding me from something? Or was it something more?My thoughts swirled with questions, each one leading to more more questions. I felt like a puzzle with missing pieces, unable to see the complete picture.Just as my thoughts began to spiral, my phone rang, shattering the silence. The sudden sound made me jump, my heart

Nathaniel I strode into the mansion, exhaustion etched on my face. The day's stress melted away as I anticipated seeing Avery's smile. But as I entered her room, my heart sank.She wasn't there.I spun around, searching. Where was she?Panic crept in, my mind racing.I marched downstairs, my long strides devouring the distance."Avery?" I called out.No response.My anxiety spiked.I approached my head of security, who stood by the door."Where's Avery?" I demanded.He hesitated."She went back to the hotel, sir."My anger ignited."Who let her go?" I thundered.He shifted uncomfortably."We couldn't stop her, sir. She insisted."My jaw clenched."Insisted?""Yes, sir," he replied. "She said she needed some space."Space? From me? From my protection?I couldn't bear the thought."Avery! She’s so stubborn," I muttered.His expression turned sympathetic."We tried to reason with her, sir."My laughter was cold."Reason? Avery doesn't need a reason. She needs protection."I glared at hi

Nathaniel I sat in my office, staring blankly at the paper in front of me. The cryptic message sent to Avery's phone had been weighing heavily on my mind. Who could have written such a thing? And how did they know she was alive?"Impossible," I muttered to myself. "No one knows her new contact information."My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door."Enter," I called out.Oliver stepped inside, his expression professional. "Sir, the investigation regarding the charity event is complete.""And?" I asked, my eyes still fixed on the paper."Nothing out of the ordinary, sir. The Montgomerys seem clean," Oliver replied.I nodded, though my mind was still on Avery's message. "Very well. I'll attend the event to oversee things personally. Ensure everything runs smoothly."Oliver nodded. "Yes, sir. Shall I—""Just keep digging, Oliver. I want to know if anything suspicious has been going on with the Montgomerys," I instructed.Oliver's expression remained neutral. "As you wish, sir

NathanielI glanced at my wristwatch for what felt like the hundredth time, sighing heavily as I rubbed my temples. Another summons from Grandma. I loved spending time with her, but lately, our conversations had become predictable and annoying."The Montgomerys this, Sasha that," I muttered to myself, shaking my head. Grandma's fixation on their family was starting to grate on me.But I had promised Avery I'd play along. Time to put on a show. I gathered my thoughts, grabbed my jacket, and headed out of the office.The drive to Grandma's mansion was a short one, and before I knew it, I was pulling up to the grand entrance. The butler greeted me with a nod, and I made my way to Grandma's favorite sitting room.As I entered, Grandma's warm smile greeted me, and she opened her arms for a hug."Nathaniel, dear! I'm so glad you came," she said, squeezing me tightly."Sorry about last time, Grandma," I apologized, trying to sound sincere. "I had something urgent to attend to."Grandma's eye
