Alle Kapitel von I don’t want him back: Divorcing the Billionaire: Kapitel 131 – Kapitel 140

  Margaret's POV The estate felt wrong without Four. Too quiet. Too empty. Like a house holding its breath, waiting for something terrible to happen. I had maintained this property for twelve years and never once felt unsafe here. Now every shadow seemed to hide a threat. I spent my days keeping things running smoothly. Making sure the grounds were maintained, the staff were supervised, and the house stayed ready for Four's return. But at night, when everyone else had gone home, I started investigating. Something had been bothering me since the kidnapping. How did Mia know so much about Veronica's schedule? How did she coordinate everything so precisely?  There had to be more to this than one junior staff member feeding her information. I started with the security footage. Hundreds of hours recorded over the past six months. I sat in the security of

Veronica's POVThe courtroom was cold. That was the first thing I noticed. Cold and sterile with hard wooden benches that made my back ache after ten minutes. I sat beside Four's wheelchair, my hands clasped so tightly in my lap that my knuckles had gone white.Four should not have been here. The doctors said another week of hospital care at a minimum. But when I told him about the custody hearing, he signed himself out against medical advice and insisted on coming. Now he sat beside me, pale and drawn with pain, bandages visible under his dress shirt, but his presence was solid and unwavering.Behind us in the gallery, my mother held Monte. My son was being good, playing quietly with toys Beverly brought. He had no idea that people were fighting over him like he was property instead of a human being.Steven and Patricia Castellano sat across the aisle with their lawyer. They looked perfect. Polished and sympathetic. Patricia wore a tasteful black dress and pearls. Steven had a navy

Dr Chen's POVI was reviewing charts in my office when the emergency alert came through. Four Winter was back in the ER. Again. I grabbed my tablet and ran, already furious before I even saw him.He was on a gurney in the trauma bay, unconscious and burning with fever. Veronica stood beside him crying while nurses worked quickly to get IV lines in and monitors attached. The readings were bad. Really bad."What happened?" I demanded, pulling on gloves and moving to examine Four."He collapsed at the courthouse," Veronica said through tears. "Right after the hearing ended. He just went down."I checked Four's vitals and wanted to scream. The temperature was 103.5 degrees. Blood pressure is dangerously low. Heart rate erratic. I lifted his shirt carefully and saw fresh blood seeping through the bandages on his back."He reopened his internal injuries." My voice came out sharper than I intended. "And he has an infection. Probably started yesterday but he ignored the symptoms because he wa

  Mia's POV I sat in my penthouse suite watching traffic crawl through Manhattan streets far below. The city looked cold and grey, matching my mood perfectly. Subtlety had failed. Manipulation had failed. Patience had gotten me nowhere except further from what I wanted. Four. I was done playing games. Done waiting for him to realise Veronica was wrong for him. Done hoping he would remember what we had and come back to me. If he would not choose me willingly, I would destroy every other option until I was all he had left. My phone buzzed with a message from Vincent Moretti. The deal was progressing nicely. I had been feeding the Moretti family information about Four's business vulnerabilities for three weeks now. Internal documents. Financial records. Lists of his legitimate business partners who did not know about his grey market operations. 

 Manuel's POV I held the envelope Veronica gave me and wanted to break something. Mia had sent threats to my sister. Tried to get into Four's hospital room. Played her sick games while Four lay in a hospital bed fighting for his life. Enough was enough. I called Viktor first. "We need to meet. Tonight. Bring Sarah and see if Rivera can come." "What are you planning?" "War." Two hours later we sat in my office. Viktor looked tired but alert. Sarah had her laptop open and ready. Rivera leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. "Mia is working with the Morettis to destroy Four's business," I said without preamble. "She sent Veronica photos today. Threatened her. We are done playing defence." Sarah frowned. "What do you want to do?" "Hit her from every angle at once. Make it impossib
