Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter 863:

“Don’t forget—we’re bound together now. There’s no room for betrayal. The wedding with Ophelia is already scheduled. It will happen before this month ends.”

A shiver raced down Daren’s spine. He buried his earlier doubts beneath a forced, obedient smile.

“Of course, Mr. Higgins. The Johnson family and the Higgins family are united—always. You have my full support.”

Jarrett nodded, satisfied.

Outside, Noah slipped into the black vehicle waiting in front of the villa. Jack glanced up from his phone, the headline still glowing on the screen:

Nathan Higgins to Wed Wall Group Chairwoman!

He looked at Noah through the rearview mirror.

Though the mask concealed most of his face, the storm simmering beneath Noah’s calm exterior was unmistakable.

Jack’s fingers tightened around the steering wheel. He spoke carefully.

“Sir, should I dispatch someone to take care of Nathan?”

Noah turned slowly. A faint smirk tugged at his lips—cold and razor-sharp.

“Let him keep breathing a little longer. Death would be far too kind.”

Noah returned to the Emerald Hotel.

The moment he stepped into the lobby, he nearly collided with someone.

The man was humming to himself, steps light, his entire face glowing with smug satisfaction.

Nathan.

Noah’s pace slowed, his expression turning cold—as if the temperature around him had dropped ten degrees.

Behind him, Jack felt a wave of silent pity—for Nathan.

He had just walked straight into disaster. They hadn’t even begun looking for him, and here he was, offering himself up on a silver platter.

His grin froze mid-expression. His eyes widened like he’d just seen a ghost.

Why was Patrick here again? Was this man haunting him? This couldn’t be real—it had to be a nightmare. He tried to reason with himself, but his legs moved faster than his thoughts. He turned and bolted.

Run. Run now. Staying would mean trouble. He wasn’t stupid enough to stick around.

Noah’s lips curled into a cold, knowing smirk. He lifted his chin slightly and exchanged a look with Jack.

Jack understood immediately.
