The Womanizer's Mute Wife のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 241 - チャプター 250

Genesis stood just inside the visitation room, blocking the only exit. She hadn’t taken a seat. She didn’t need to. The scratched metal table between them felt like a flimsy prop.Monica’s eyes darted from Genesis’s face to her stomach, then back up. Fear lived openly in them now—raw, unguarded. The woman who once ruled her world with silk gloves and sharp words looked small, old, breakable.Genesis searched that face, the new wrinkles carved deep around the mouth and eyes, the streaks of gray-white threading through hair that used to be glossy black, the exhaustion that had hollowed out the once-imperious cheekbones. She waited for the hatred to rise, hot and familiar.It didn’t come.Anger was there, yes, coiled tight in her chest like a sleeping snake. But the loudest thing roaring through her veins wasn’t rage.It was pity.Pity for the woman who could have been a mother.Who could have held her when she cried after the car accident.Who could have loved her instead of breaking he

The dream came fast and vicious.She was small again, skinny arms, skinny legs, strapped to the cold exam table in Reeves’s office. The lights burned too bright overhead, and the air reeked of antiseptic mixed with something sour. Aiden Reeves loomed above her, a mask covering his face, a scalpel glinting in his gloved hand.“Shhh,” he whispered, his voice soft, almost gentle, like he was soothing a baby. “It’s not going to hurt. Just close your eyes and it’ll be over soon. I promise.”She thrashed, wrists burning against the restraints. “No, no, I want to leave! Where’s my stepmom?!”He smiled behind the mask, slow and patient. “She paid me to help you. And I will.”Then blood began pouring from his eyes, his nose, his mouth. His eyes went impossibly wide as he spoke again, his voice warped and wrong.“And I’ll gut you and gut your child… just like your husband did to me.”The scalpel pressed against her stomach.Cold metal kissed skin.She screamed.Genesis jolted awake with a stran

Genesis POV“Rot in hell, Keenan,” I said into the phone, smiling so wide it hurt my cheeks.I pulled the phone from my ear, glanced at the screen, the caller ID still glowing with the burner number and ended the call with a soft tap.Then I exhaled, long and deep, like I’d been holding my breath for years.“Someone’s a badass.”The croaky, rough voice came from the left side of the room.I spun around so fast I almost dropped the phone.Kieran.He was awake.He tried to sit up, but winced and hissed through his teeth, then gave up and settled back with a low grunt.I tossed the phone onto the side table and rushed to him, hands gentle on his shoulders.“Hey, hey, slow down,” I whispered, easing him back. “Don’t move too much.”He caught my wrist with his good hand—weak, but firm—and pulled me closer until I was perched on the edge of the bed.“How long have you been awake?” I asked. He must have heard my conversation with Keenan, and I didn’t know how he’d feel about that.“Long enou

Veronica’s words slurred over the rim of her glass as she slammed it down on the low table in the private booth of Opal Noire. The club’s bass thumped through the walls like a second heartbeat, but inside the velvet-curtained space, the air was thick with liquor and resentment.“His wife,” Charlie muttered, smirking. “And you're drunk,”Veronica spat, voice wobbling between fury and tears. “His wife? Please. I was with him through childhood, through every summer his father dumped him in Japan to ‘fend for himself.’ I was the one who kept him company when he was lonely. And then that mute, timid little freak shows up and suddenly I’m banished to England for two months like I’m some disobedient child.”Charlie leaned back in the booth, swirling his whiskey. “You chose England yourself and there’s nothing timid about Genesis anymore. She broke his head open with a fucking bat.”Rico lips still swollen from making out with the brunette now draped across his lap looked up sharply. “Wait, w

“How is my sister now?” Revelation asked. Damon stood behind her. They were a few feet away from Genesis, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed at the far side of the room.The doctor sighed. “This wouldn’t have happened if you had both followed what I told you the first time. You were the one who was with her when we found out she was pregnant…”Rev cut him off. “What the fuck are you saying? Get to the damn point.”“Kitten, relax,” Damon said in a low tone behind her, his hand resting on her waist. Then he turned to the doctor with a hard look. “What is wrong with her? Is the baby fine?”The doctor looked between them, choosing his words carefully.“She’s fine. The baby is fine,” he repeated. “But the hematoma has expanded. The bleeding was triggered by acute stress and physical strain. If this continues, the risk of miscarriage increases significantly.”Revelation’s face crumpled.Tears slid down her cheeks. “This is my fault,” she whispered. “I let her handle everything. Kieran,
