The CEO's Ex-wife Return As A Billionaire Heiress のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 170

Alex I called Emily from the car, my hands shaking so badly I could barely hold the phone."Alex? What's wrong?" She picked up immediately, hearing the panic in my voice."It's Mom. The hospital called. She's in a coma. They said I should bring the family. Emily, I think... I think this is it.""Oh God. Oh, Alex, I'm so sorry. Where are you?""Driving to the hospital now.""I'll meet you there. I'll bring the children.""No, not the children. Not yet. I need to see how bad it is first.""Okay. But Alex, you shouldn't be alone. I'm coming."She hung up before I could argue.When I got to the hospital and made my way to my mother's room in the ICU, Dr. Harrison was waiting for me."Mr. Thompson. Thank you for coming so quickly.""How is she? Can I see her?""You can see her, but I need to prepare you. She's on full life support now. The cancer has spread to her vital organs, and her body is failing. We're keeping her comfortable, but..." He paused, his expression sympathetic. "We're ta

EmilyAfter my mother's heart monitor flatlined, the room fell into a heavy, profound silence broken only by my ragged breathing and Alex's quiet sobs against my shoulder.The nurses moved efficiently but respectfully, turning off the machines one by one. The sudden absence of the beeping that had become so familiar over the past weeks was jarring, a stark reminder that she was truly gone."I'm so sorry for your loss," Dr. Harrison said softly, placing a gentle hand on Alex's shoulder. "Your mother was an extraordinary woman. She fought until the very end."Alex couldn't respond. He just stood there, still holding his mother's hand, as if letting go would make her death too real."Take all the time you need," the doctor continued. "We'll give you privacy."The medical staff quietly filed out, leaving us alone with Mrs. Thompson's body.I held Alex as he wept, his whole body shaking with grief. This strong, powerful man who commanded boardrooms and built empires was completely undone b

Emily"Hello?" I answered, trying to keep my voice steady."Emily, where are you?" Alex's voice was tense, urgent."I'm at home. With the children. Why? What's wrong?""Stay there. I'm coming home right now. We need to talk."My heart dropped. "Alex, you're scaring me. What happened?""I'll tell you when I get there. Just... just wait for me. Please."He hung up before I could say anything else.I lowered the phone slowly, my hands trembling. Nathaniel was watching me with concern."What did he say?" he asked."He's coming home. He said we need to talk." I looked down at the photos on Nathaniel's phone again. "About something important.""Emily." Nathaniel moved closer, taking my hand. "When he gets here, you need to confront him about these dinners. Don't let him sweet-talk his way out of it. Don't let him deceive you again like he did six years ago.""I don't know if he deceived me six years ago. We were both deceived by other people.""Were you? Or is that just what he told you?" N

Alex The next morning, I arrived at my office early, my mind still spinning from yesterday's revelations. Someone was actively trying to destroy my relationship with Emily, and I am determined to find out who. Emily and I had agreed to be cautious, to act normally while my security team investigated. We couldn't let whoever was behind this know that we were onto them. I had barely sat down at my desk when Abigail knocked and entered, carrying her tablet and a cup of coffee. "Good morning, Mr. Thompson," she said with a professional smile. "I thought you might need this." She set the coffee on my desk. "How are you holding up? I know the funeral is tomorrow." "I'm managing. Thank you." I took a sip of the coffee, grateful for the caffeine. "What's on my schedule today?" Abigail pulled up her tablet. "You have a conference call with the Tokyo investors at ten, lunch with the marketing team at noon, and a meeting with legal at three to finalize the merger documents." She pause

EmilyI drove home with tears streaming down my face, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white.God, I can't believe that I am a fool again. Such a complete and utter fool.I trusted him. After everything that happened six years ago, after all the pain and betrayal and lies, I opened my heart to him again. I believed him when he said nothing would come between us. I believed him when he said he would never hurt me again.And what did I find?His secretary was sitting in his lap, kissing him, while he did absolutely nothing to stop her."He said he was trying to push her away," I said out loud to myself, my voice bitter. "But I saw them. I saw the way they were looking at each other. I saw the way his hands were on her waist. If he was really trying to stop her, why didn't he push harder? Why didn't he stand up immediately? Why didn't he..."A sob broke through my words.Because deep down, I knew why.Because Alex was a man who took what he wanted.
