Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Womanizer's Mute Wife : Kabanata 231 - Kabanata 240

Immediately the car slowed into park inside the courtyard of the estate, Genesis shoved the door open and stepped out before the engine had fully stopped. Tears poured from her eyes like furious raindrops, streaking down her cheeks as she stumbled up the stone steps. Her breath came in ragged gasps, chest heaving with sobs she couldn’t contain.Kieran was right behind her, boots pounding the gravel, calling her name“Genesis, wait!”but she didn’t slow. She shoved the double doors open with both hands.The living room went deathly quiet.Every head turned.Revelation rose slowly from the couch, eyes wide. Daisy froze beside Elena, clutching her doll, confusion clouding her small face. Veronica stood near the window, arms crossed. The Angels, Katherine, Joy, Mia went still, hands hovering near weapons out of instinct.Genesis’s gaze swept the room, wild and shattered, then locked on Revelation.All the signs she’d missed crashed into her at once.The way the Angels had always said she lo

Zarina sat motionless in the stiff hospital chair beside Cady's bed, her hand gently clasping her wife's limp fingers. The room was quiet except for the steady beep of the monitor tracking Cady's heart rate, slow, mechanical, unchanging. Tubes snaked across Cady's body, the ventilator forcing rhythmic breaths into lungs that no longer knew how to work on their own. Her face was pale, peaceful in a way that made Zarina's chest ache even more.The doctor's words from earlier replayed in her mind like a cruel loop."I'm very sorry," the neurosurgeon had said, his voice low and measured, eyes filled with the kind of practiced compassion that came from delivering news like this too many times. "We did everything we could in surgery. The bullets, one entered through the right temporal region and fragmented, causing extensive damage to the temporal and frontal lobes, with significant hemorrhage and swelling. The second lodged deeper, near the brainstem. We evacuated what hematoma we could an

One week later“This is Camila Jay, reporting live from the Caldwell residence in Manhattan, where federal agents have just executed an arrest warrant on prominent socialite Monica Caldwell.”The camera panned slightly to show the grand brownstone’s front steps, now cordoned off with yellow tape. Uniformed FBI agents flanked the doorway as Monica, hands cuffed behind her back, head held high despite the disheveled silk robe and bare feet was led out by two agents. Her face was pale, lips pressed into a thin line, but she didn’t speak or look at the cameras. Flashes popped relentlessly from the media pack pressed against the barriers.Camila’s voice remained steady, professional, measured, exactly how seasoned reporters delivered high-stakes breaking news without sensationalizing trauma.“Monica Caldwell, stepmother to heiress Genesis Caldwell-Blackwood, has been taken into custody on federal charges including conspiracy to commit sexual assault of a minor, child endangerment, and acce

Revelation leaned against the kitchen island, arms crossed tight, watching Genesis stir the pot of chicken noodle soup with slow, careful motions. The kitchen smelled warm—garlic, thyme, broth simmering over low heat—but the air between the two women felt colder than the tiles beneath their feet.The Angels moved quietly around them. Joy chopped carrots at the far counter. Katherine poured soup into a thermos for the hospital run. Mia wiped down already spotless surfaces. None of them spoke. They knew better than to interrupt when Revelation was trying—and failing—to bridge the chasm she’d helped create.“How long are you going to keep ignoring me and giving me the silent treatment?” Revelation asked, her voice low but edged with frustration. “I’ve told you I’m sorry. I’ve said it a hundred times. I mean it.”Genesis didn’t look up. She kept stirring, the wooden spoon tracing soft, rhythmic circles through the broth. Her face was calm. Blank.Revelation pushed off the island and stepp

Genesis POV“He’s growing every day, isn’t he?” Amelia said softly, wincing just a little as Michelle latched on harder, tiny fists clenched against her chest like he was claiming every drop.I chuckled quietly and stepped further into the room, Amelia’s room now, the one we’d converted into a private nursery suite off the east wing. The incubator was gone; the doctors had cleared Michelle just last week. No more plastic walls, no more tubes snaking everywhere. He was finally strong enough to be held skin-to-skin, to breastfeed, to feel his mother’s heartbeat without barriers.And God, he was big now, chubby cheeks, dark tufts of hair, eyes already sharp like his father’s. A fighter, Kieran would be completely enamored.I smiled as I watched her adjust him carefully. Her breasts were heavy, veins visible under the skin, leaking a little even as he fed. She’d been uncomfortable for days before the doctors finally let her nurse him properly.“Poor things,” I teased gently, nodding towar
