บททั้งหมดของ RETURN OF MY BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Madeline stumbled back to the door, only to find it locked.Her chest tightened. Panic shot through her.“Guinevere! What are you trying to do?!”Guinevere only grinned. She poured herself a glass of wine, took a slow sip, and smirked.“What does it look like?”Madeline rushed at her, yanking her by the hair.“Open the door. Now!”Guinevere threw her head back in laughter, then pulled out a gun and aimed it straight at her.“Get down!”Madeline froze, fear crawling over her. She dropped to her knees.“Where’s the video?” Guinevere demanded.Madeline’s lips curved into a faint smile.“I have one with me. And another in safe hands. The moment you pull that trigger, it won’t just be released... it’ll unleash something you’ll never expect.”Guinevere slapped her so hard a bruise rose instantly.“You think I’ll let this go? I swear, I’ll make sure you never get your organization back!”Madeline grinned, even through the sting.“Bench warmer. You don’t even understand the game. Preston woul

She gasped, words failing her.“Preston…”Tears shimmered in his eyes as he held her gaze. “Lauren, I want today to be unforgettable for you.”Overwhelmed, she leaned forward and hugged him. “Thank you.”He guided her gently into a chair. A table was set before her, inviting her to share her thoughts and wishes. ****Meanwhile, Ethan was alone in the kitchen, carefully packaging the meal he had spent the night preparing. It was her day—Lauren Whitmore’s birthday—and he had wanted everything to be perfect.Every dish was her favourite. He had even baked three cakes by himself. The servants helped load the boxes, baskets, and neatly wrapped gifts into his car. Dressed and ready, he finally set off for her house.When he knocked, the door opened to reveal Amy Grant.Ethan’s breath caught. He hadn’t expected her. “You’ve been here… all this time?”Amy shifted uneasily. “My new law firm is close to Lauren’s. So I thought it best to stay here.”“Oh.” His expression soften

Ethan grinned. “This game is going to be more interesting than I thought. The truth is, I’m not going to fight to get Lauren. I’ll just keep loving her. True love isn’t about making someone love you—it’s about staying, watching over them.”He patted Preston on the back. “Lauren loved me when I had nothing to give her. But you, Preston… stop trying so hard. Relax, like you always do during your tech projects.”Preston smirked. “So you’re not backing down on the tech project… even though I’m involved with your ex-wife?”Ethan chuckled. “She’s not my ex-wife. We’re just separated.”“She filed for divorce,” Preston said.Ethan laughed dryly. “What if I claim my wife before the divorce is final?”“Lauren will move on,” Preston replied.Ethan shrugged. “You’ll be the one frustrated, Preston. You’ll do everything, but Lauren will only open her heart to me. Remember, she only turned to Caleb because she thought I was gone.”Preston smirked. “…but she still slept with Caleb after she knew you

Danielle chuckled bitterly, though her eyes betrayed exhaustion.“My car is with my brother. Probably wrecked already. He replaced it for me, and strangely, I feel better now that he did. Which is why…” She exhaled shakily. “I’m breaking up with you.”Doctor Harris blinked, stunned. “Breaking up with me?”“Of course. Why do you look so surprised?” Her lips twisted into a half-smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “At least now you’ll be free.”“Danielle, it’s not what you think—”“I understand,” she cut in quickly, her voice soft but firm. “I’m not blaming you for anything, Harris. You don’t owe me explanations. Just… have fun with your life.”She lifted her hand in a small wave, then walked back into the hospital, leaving him standing in the night air, torn between grief and anger.His chest tightened as he fumbled with his phone. He dialed Amy Grant again. This time she picked up.“Is the burial today?” he rasped.***Ethan entered the mansion, each step heavy, as though grief weighed d

Fisher’s voice quivered as he finally spoke, eyes darting to the fire as though it might swallow his words.“Lauren Whitmore had pictures pinned on the wall. Dozens of faces—staring back at me from a giant collage. Each marked with bold red ink, every name linked to her accident.”Jonathan’s gaze sharpened. “What did she write?”Fisher swallowed hard. “Jonathan Monroe—‘Rival of Blackspire. Revived through Preston Carter, Monroe Holdings, and NovaCorp. Motive: corporate rivalry?’” He hesitated before continuing. “Madeline Carter—‘Released from prison a day before the hit-and-run. All possessions seized by Preston Carter. Motive: revenge?’ Caleb Monroe—‘Called me the day of the paternity test. Could have been following me?’”The words tumbled faster now.“Pearl Whitmore—‘After our confrontation in the garden, the accident happened. Wants Amy Grant for Ethan. Motive: remove me.’ Raymond Whitmore—‘Also pushing Amy toward Ethan. Would gain from my absence.’ And…” Fisher’s voice fell almost
