All Chapters of The Billionaire's Forgotten Bride : Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Chapter 132The afternoon sun blazed high above the Frost Estate, casting warm, golden light across the manicured lawns. Inside, the massive compound hummed with the bustling energy of caterers, florists, and security personnel finalizing the preparations for the weekend reception.Zara sat at her desk in the study, reviewing the final guest list with Julian.Ethan had just finished showering. He walked into the study wearing dark jeans and a simple black t-shirt, his wet hair pushed carelessly back. He looked devastatingly relaxed, though his storm-gray eyes immediately did a tactical sweep of the room before resting warmly on Zara."Did Leo finish his homework?" Zara asked, signing off on the catering manifest."He finished it twenty minutes ago," Ethan replied, leaning against the doorframe. "He is currently in the living room, lecturing Jax on the optimal trajectory of an incoming mortar strike. I think Jax is actually taking notes."Zara laughed softly, shaking her head.Suddenly

Chapter 134The black armored SUV tore through the industrial district like a ballistic missile. The rain had started again, washing the gritty streets of the city in a cold, unforgiving slick. Ethan sat in the back, silent and utterly still, meticulously checking the seals on the specialized rebreather unit Jax had pulled from the armory’s aquatic tactical supply. Zara sat beside him, loading a fresh magazine into her submachine gun. She didn't look at the blood slowly seeping through Ethan’s field dressing. She couldn't afford to focus on his mortality right now. She had to focus on the monster waiting for them. "We are three blocks from the warehouse," Jax reported from the driver’s seat. "My Alpha Team has the perimeter locked down. No one goes in or out.""Pull over here," Ethan commanded sharply. Jax slammed on the brakes, the heavy vehicle skidding slightly before coming to a halt next to a rusted chain-link fence bordering a municipal overflow canal. "This is an access no

Chapter 136The sprawling, state-of-the-art medical suite hidden beneath the Frost Estate was bathed in quiet, sterile light. It had been four days since the warehouse explosion. The media had run wild with reports of a catastrophic gas leak in the industrial district. The official narrative painted it as a tragic municipal failure that had unfortunately claimed the life of the disgraced fugitive, Chloe Sterling. The public bought the story entirely. Frost-Cole’s stock didn't even dip. Inside the medical suite, the reality of the blast was far less neat. Ethan lay on the adjustable bed, his massive torso heavily wrapped in compression bandages to secure his three fractured ribs. The gunshot wound in his left shoulder had required intricate surgery to repair the torn muscle tissue, leaving his arm entirely immobilized in a sling. The brutal physical trauma, combined with the extreme adrenaline crash, had forced his body into a state of absolute exhaustion. He hadn't been allowed o

Chapter 138Six months later. The sprawling Frost Estate was wrapped in a thick blanket of pristine, untouched winter snow. The world outside the heavy titanium gates was cold and quiet, but inside, the massive compound radiated a profound, unshakable warmth. The Frost-Cole conglomerate had officially posted its Q4 earnings that morning. The numbers were astronomical. The South Bay tech port was fully operational, entirely dominating the eastern seaboard's logistics. The board of directors was docile and terrified. The Pierce Banking Group, under Julian’s steady hand, had seamlessly funded the expansion without a single whisper of corruption. For the first time in five years, Zara Frost had absolutely nothing on her schedule. She stood in the center of the massive, sunlit kitchen, wearing a pair of Ethan’s old gray sweatpants and a soft, oversized cashmere sweater. Her dark hair was pulled up into a messy bun. She was holding a wooden spoon, attempting to stir a pot of homemade ho

Chapter 140The heavy titanium blast doors of the subterranean hub hissed shut, sealing the room into absolute isolation.Zara stared at Ethan, her pulse hammering a frantic, violent rhythm against her throat. The golden peace they had built over the last five months shattered in a fraction of a second, replaced by the suffocating weight of an invisible, global threat."Victor synthesized the poison himself," Zara argued, her brilliant mind furiously trying to reject the new variable. "Dr. Hayes confirmed the chemical breakdown. It was a proprietary blend of heavy metals. How could he have bought it from a European court?""Victor didn't have the biochemical intellect to synthesize a neuro-toxin that could bypass standard hospital toxicology screens, Zara," Ethan explained, pacing the concrete floor. His hands were clenched into fists so tight his knuckles were stark white. "He needed a supplier. Someone who operated entirely off the grid. The Valerius Court isn't just a syndicate. Th
