All Chapters of My Contracted Husband, The Heartless CEO has Amnesia?!: Chapter 101 - Chapter 108

Chapter 101XENOIS"Keep moving," Dmitri said quietly, and I did, walking through the casino floor like I owned it. Which, apparently, I partially did.We passed through several more levels, each more explicitly illegal than the last. The Market buzzed with transactions I didn't want to examine too closely. The Floor featured fighting rings where money changed hands based on blood spilled. The Chambers had a quieter, more insidious energy—deals being made in shadow that would reshape the legitimate world above.Finally, we reached the Pit.The elevator opened onto a concrete corridor that looked more like a prison than a club. Harsh lighting, bare walls, and the smell of fear and old blood. I could hear sounds echoing from deeper in—crying, screaming, pleading.My stomach turned, but I forced my expression to remain impassive. The old Xenois wouldn't react to these sounds. They'd be background noise."Mouse is in the main interrogation room," Sloane said, checking his phone. "He knows

Chapter 103CELESTE The clock on the living room wall read 11:47 PM when I heard the car pull into the driveway. I'd been sitting on the couch for the past three hours, unable to focus on anything, my stomach twisted in knots of worry and fear.Alina sat across from me, the paperwork for the rescued trafficking victims spread across the coffee table between us, though neither of us had looked at it for at least an hour. She'd shown up at seven as scheduled for our debrief, taken one look at my face, and immediately understood that I needed company more than I needed paperwork."That's them," she said, standing and moving to the window to check. Her hand went automatically to her concealed weapon—a habit I'd grown used to over the years. "SUV, armored, Kingston security detail. It's him."I was already on my feet, my heart pounding. "How does he look?"Alina peered through the curtain, her trained eyes assessing. "Walking under his own power. No visible injuries. Dmitri and Sloane are

Chapter 105CELESTE"Probably," he admitted. "Or at the very least, make sure he can never betray anyone again. Celeste, he put you and the boys in danger. He's the reason Tommy got shot. He's responsible for people dying. I can't just let that go."I knew he was right. I knew that in the world he operated in, betrayal of this magnitude couldn't be ignored or handled through legal channels. But hearing him talk so matter-of-factly about killing someone was still jarring."There's more," he continued. "Marcus Pemberton—the investor I turned down, the father from the school who defended Victoria—he's been one of the buyers of Bennett's information. He's behind the initial attempt on our family."The news hit me like a physical blow. Marcus Pemberton. I'd stood next to that man just yesterday at the parent-child games. I'd smiled politely while he defended his horrible daughter's mother for pushing me. And all along, he'd been planning to have my entire family killed because Xenois had r

Chapter 107CELESTE Xenois crouched down to his level. "I might have to work this afternoon, buddy. But I'll definitely be home for dinner. And we can play that new game we got before bedtime, okay?""Okay," Soren agreed, throwing his arms around Xenois's neck for a tight hug.I saw Victoria Ashworth across the courtyard, watching us with an expression I couldn't quite read. After yesterday's confrontation, I'd expected her to avoid eye contact, but instead, she seemed to be studying Xenois with something like apprehension.Good. Maybe word of his activities last night had already started to spread, even reaching the legitimate world we pretended to operate in.After the boys disappeared into the school building, Xenois and I walked back to the car together. He looked thoughtful, almost troubled."What's wrong?" I asked once we were back in the vehicle."I was just thinking about how normal this feels," he said. "Dropping the boys at school, promising to be home for dinner, planning
