chapter 71

Rachel pov I woke up that morning with a strange feeling in my chest, and for the first time in days, I realized I was actually excited about something. I had spent so much time crying, fighting, worrying, and trying to understand how everything in my life had gone so wrong that I had almost forgotten what it felt like to wake up and look forward to a new day, but that morning was different because I knew I was leaving, even if it was only for a while, and the thought of being somewhere far away from Dave, Betty, Nathan, and all the painful memories made me feel like I could finally breathe again. I sat on the edge of my bed for a moment and looked around the room, wondering how many things had changed in such a short time, because this room had once felt like a place where I could hide from the world, but now it only reminded me of everything I had lost and everything I had survived.I slowly got out of bed, freshened up, dressed, and walked downstairs, and when I entered

Chapter 72

Rachel’s POVBy the time I arrived at the airport, I had already made up my mind that I was not going to look back, because if I allowed myself to think about everything I had left behind, I knew my heart would become heavy again and I would start questioning whether leaving my children, even temporarily, was the right thing to do, but deep inside me I knew that I needed those two months more than I had ever needed anything in my life, because I was exhausted from constantly being pulled between people who claimed to love me and people who had spent years finding new ways to hurt meI stepped out of the car with my handbag over my shoulder while one of the airport attendants came forward to help with my luggage, and for a moment I simply stood there looking at the aircraft waiting ahead of me, feeling a strange mixture of nervousness and excitement because this was not just another business trip, this was the first time I was deliberately choosing distance from everything that had bee

Chapter 73: The Last Thread

Rachel’s POV The moment I felt Josh’s arms wrap around me from behind, my entire body went rigid, and for one terrifying second I could not understand what was happening because I had spent the entire day trying to clear my mind, trying to convince myself that I had finally escaped the chaos waiting for me back home, only to feel the same kind of unwanted familiarity invading my space again. I turned around sharply and shoved him away with every ounce of strength I had, my chest rising and falling as anger flooded through me. “What the hell do you think you are doing?” I demanded, my voice shaking with fury. Josh barely moved, and instead of looking ashamed, he smiled at me with that same arrogant expression that had once made me question whether there was ever a genuine side to him. “Oh, so you still have that fire in you,” he said, rubbing his cheek as though my slap had amused him rather than offended him. I stared at him in disbelief, wondering how someone could be so sha

chapter 74

Rachel’s POVI dropped the phone on the bed and remained there for several minutes, staring at the ceiling while the weight in my chest refused to disappear, because no matter how many times I told myself that I was done with Dave, no matter how many times I reminded myself of everything he had done to me, the memories still had a way of crawling back into my mind whenever the room became quiet enough for me to hear my own thoughts. I turned onto my side and pulled the blanket over myself, hoping sleep would come quickly and rescue me from the storm inside my head, but just when I was beginning to close my eyes, my phone started ringing again, and when I looked at the screen and saw that it was my mother calling, I wiped the tears that had gathered beneath my eyes before answering because I knew she would immediately hear something in my voice if I allowed myself to sound as broken as I truly felt. “Hello, Mom,” I said softly. “Baby girl, how did the conference go?” my m

Chapter 75—The Two Little Girls

Rachel’s POV“Don’t call me Mommy, sweetheart, because I’m not your mother,” I said gently, even though something inside my chest had already begun to ache at the way the little girl was looking at me.She lowered her eyes immediately, and the smile that had been on her lips disappeared so quickly that I almost wished I had kept quiet. “But our mommy died when we were born,” she whispered, her tiny voice trembling as she spoke, while her sister moved closer to her and wrapped both hands around her arm. “We never knew her, and our daddy only comes sometimes, so we don’t really know where he is now because he came this time and then he left again, and nobody told us where he was going.” I stared at them, unable to find the right words, because there was something terribly painful about hearing a child speak about losing her mother as if she had already learned to accept the emptiness, even though I could see from her eyes that she had never truly accepted it at all.

Chapter 76 — The Video He sent

Rachel’s POVI woke up with a strange heaviness in my chest, the kind of feeling that stayed with me even before I opened my eyes, and for a few seconds I simply stared at the ceiling while trying to remember where I was and why the room felt so unfamiliar, but then I remembered i was on vacation, and most importantly, the two little girls sleeping peacefully in the other room, and somehow the thought of them made the heaviness in my chest disappear for a moment. I sat up slowly, rubbed my face with both hands, and glanced toward the bed where the girls were still sleeping, their little bodies curled together beneath the blanket as though they had been afraid to separate even in their sleep, and I smiled despite myself because there was something innocent about them that made me want to protect them from every terrible thing in the world. I quietly got out of bed, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and headed into the bathroom for a quick shower before picking up my bag and

Chapter 77 — The News She Never Expected

Rachel’s POVAfter the call with Dave ended, I remained on the edge of the bed for several minutes, staring at my phone while the last words he had said continued playing inside my head, but I refused to let them ruin the peace. I had finally found because I had spent too many nights crying over that man and too many mornings waking up with a broken heart, so I wiped the tears from my face and turned toward the two little girls who were sitting together on the bed, watching me with innocent eyes. “Girls, finish your food because we are going out today,” I said, forcing a smile.“Where are we going, Mommy?” the younger one asked excitedly.I laughed softly because I knew I had already lost the battle with that name.“I told you not to call me Mommy, but you keep doing it anyway,” I said.She smiled mischievously. “Because you are like our mommy,” she replied.Her sister immediately nodded. “Yes, you take care of us, you buy us food, you let us sleep in your be

Chapter 78 — A New Beginning

Rachel pov Rachel stepped out of the car with the two little girls holding tightly onto each of her hands, while the twins followed behind with one of the nannies, their tiny voices filling the compound with excitement after the long journey home. She had barely taken two steps toward the entrance when her mother came rushing toward her, her face lighting up with happiness as she pulled Rachel into a tight embrace. “My baby girl, you are finally home,” her mother said, her voice trembling with relief.Rachel smiled against her mother's shoulder and hugged her even tighter. “I missed you so much, Mom,” Rachel replied, her voice soft with emotion.Her father came forward next, and although he tried to maintain his usual serious expression, the smile on his face betrayed him completely. “Look at you,” he said, placing both hands on Rachel's shoulders as he examined her from head to toe. “You left this house looking exhausted and heartbroken, but you have returned looking like a

Chapter 79 — Betty’s POV

Betty PovFor several days, I had not seen Dave, and at first, I tried to convince myself that there was nothing to worry about because he was probably still angry and simply needed some time alone, but as the days passed without him answering my calls or coming anywhere near me, the fear in my heart became impossible to ignore. I called him again and again, sent him messages, and even asked some of his men where he was, but nobody was willing to tell me anything, and that only made me more desperate because I knew Dave well enough to understand that when he became this quiet, something was seriously wrong. So that morning, I got into my car and drove straight to his house because I refused to sit at home waiting for my husband to remember that I existed.I was his wife now. At least, that was what I kept telling myself. When I arrived at the gate, two guards immediately stepped forward, and one of them raised his hand to stop me. “Who are you here to see?” the gua

Chapter 80 — Rachel’s POV

Rachel pov The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual, and for a few seconds, I simply lay there staring at the ceiling, allowing myself to enjoy the quietness around me before the responsibilities of the day came rushing back into my mind. I didn't wake up feeling like I had to chase after anyone, explain myself to anyone, or wonder where my husband was and what he was doing, because after everything that had happened, I had finally decided that my life could not continue revolving around Dave. I had children who needed me, a company that needed me, parents who loved me, and two little girls who had unexpectedly become part of my life, so I had enough reasons to keep moving forward even if my heart still carried wounds that had not completely healed. I got out of bed, took a shower, and dressed for work in a simple but elegant business outfit, choosing a fitted dark dress with a matching jacket that made me look exactly like the woman everyone at the comp
