My Ex-Husband Is A Billionaire Chapter Forty-three
Charles sat in the sterile hospital room, his eyes fixed on Norah, who lay frail and vulnerable. Monitors surrounded her, a clear contrast to her usual elegant and lively self. The soft hum of the medical equipment filled the air, providing a backdrop to Charles’ thoughts. Selena also sat in a chair beside the bed, offering silent support. They had been here for days, watching over Norah as she fought to get back her health fully after that tragic fire.The fire had been a nightmare to Norah. She remembered the chaos all too well, the blaring alarms, and the thick, dark smoke that had filled the building. For Charles, what haunted him most was the sight of Norah being crushed under the fallen debris, and when she was wheeled out of the building, her unconscious form covered in soot and ash.It was a miracle Norah had survived, if he had not arrived when he did, she would have suffocated before the fire spread through the floors. Now Charles was determined to be there for her every step

Beside her was Mary, nervously playing with a strand of her long hair. Michael, leaned against the wall, his arms crossed, and Uncle Arnold sat on the armchair, his expression a mix of curiosity and concern. Emma sat nervously on the couch, fidgeting with her fingers.The previous day, a detective had paid them an unexpected visit. He had questioned them about the fire at Oscorp and their ties to the company. Their mother had answered the detective's questions as truthfully as she could, to the best of her knowledge. The detective had left, leaving them all surprised.Emma finally broke the silence that had settled over the room. “I’m sure you’re all wondering why the detective came yesterday,” she began cautiously.Mary looked at Emma with wide eyes. “Yeah, Emma, we’re really worried.

Her mind raced, and a plan began to take shape. She needed Charles on her side; she needed his trust. Emma was aware it wouldn’t be easy, but she wanted it more than anything in the world. Reaching for a pen and paper, she started jotting down her thoughts.The first step was to approach Charles and beg for his forgiveness for the mess she’d created. She knew it would be a daunting task, but it was the only way to mend the rift between them. Emma couldn’t afford to lose her Charles or his wealth, no way she’d let him have all that wealth without having even a pinch of it.As she formed her plan, determination surged within her. She was ready to do whatever it took to set things right her and her family. The unanswered questions still lingered, but she was prepared to find the answers so she would know her next move.Later, Emma drove to Oscorp with one thing in mind: to see Charles and beg for his forgiveness. Her footsteps echoed through the marble corridor of the towering headquarte

Emma’s heart ached with every passing day that Charles remained distant even after forgiving her. She yearned for the warmth of his attention towards her, but he had shut her out, leaving her grasping at the ends of their love relationship. She refused to accept that their story could end like this, so she embarked on a relentless quest to win him back.One chilly evening, Emma draped herself in a dress that showed her curves and highlighted her boobs and thighs. She knew the power of her allure, and she hoped that tonight, it would be enough to break through Charles’s defenses.Emma stood outside Charles’ front door, her heart pounding in her chest. She had been trying to win him back for weeks, but he had remained steadfast in his decision to not go back on their past. She knew she had to try something different this time.With a deep breath, Emma knocked on the door. Moments later, Charles opened it, his expression a mixture of surprise and annoyance.“Emma, what are you doing here

In the living room of their home, Norah couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss. She’d noticed a sudden change in Emma’s behavior towards her of course, all smiles and friendly gestures, but it felt like a façade, anyone could see that.It was as if a switch had been flipped, and she had transformed from a distant hateful person to someone remarkably friendly and accommodating. Today, she couldn’t ignore it any longer, so she confronted Charles.“Charles,” Norah began, her voice tinged with concern, “Have you noticed how Emma’s been acting lately? She’s pretending to be so nice to me, but it just doesn’t feel genuine.”Charles glanced at Norah, his brow furrowing slightly. “I’ve noticed, Norah,” he admitted, “But I wouldn’t read too much into it. Maybe she’s just trying to get our attention. You know how she can be sometimes.”Norah’s brow furrowed with skepticism. She wasn’t convinced by Charles’ explanation. “I don’t know, Charles. It feels like there’s more to it. She’s

As the sun settled, Charles, Norah, and Selena gathered around the gigantic mahogany table for a special dinner. Selena had been with them for a few weeks now, even supporting Norah during her hospitalization and becoming a cherished presence in house.There was a silence, and the clinking of cutlery against plate filled the room as they enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by Norah. Charles, enjoying his mother’s company, knew that it was time for her to return to her home and job in the bustling metropolis. He cleared his throat, breaking the quiet atmosphere.“Mom,” he began, “I think it’s time to discuss your plans for returning home.”Selena, her eyes brimming with affection for her son, nodded gently. “Yes, Charles, you’re right. I’ve enjoyed every moment here with you and Norah, but I should get back to my life.”Charles, however, had a surprise up his sleeve. “You don’t need to worry about booking a flight, Mom. I’d be more than willing to have my private jet fly you back to the

Norah paced nervously in her study, her heart racing with anticipation as she awaited Charles’s return from Oscorp. She had spent countless hours carefully gathering evidence, determined to uncover the truth about Emma and her evil plans. The room was adorned with shelves of books and antique artifacts, a reflection of Norah’s intellect and curiosity.When the front door finally swung open, Norah’s heart skipped a beat. She rushed out of the study and Charles stood in the doorway, his briefcase in hand. His usually composed demeanor was replaced by a hint of weariness, no doubt a result of another long day at the company.“Charles, please come. I need to show you something.” Norah gestured towards the study and pointed to the chair that surrounded her desk. “I’ve been waiting for you.”Charles nodded and entered the room, curiosity in his eyes seeing all the papers and files on her desk for the second time that week. He had always known Norah was brilliant, but he had no idea just how

Charles and Norah exchanged polite greetings, their curiosity piqued by the newcomers.“As I was saying,” Mr. Higgins resumed, “Helen and Mark here have been important in uncovering the truth about Andrew Garner.

As Norah braced herself for the conversation with Mary Adams, her phone buzzed with an incoming call.

I’m about to talk to Mary. What’s going on?”Charles, however, remained cryptic. “It’s a lost cause. We’ve found something else.

Why the sudden change of plans?”Charles, in a hurry, replied, “I can’t tell you over the phone. Just trust me on this, Norah. Come home.”The mystery surrounding the situation deepened, leaving Norah torn between the mission she had embarked on and the mysterious revela

Arnold’s eyes betrayed his sense of guilt, and after a brief pause, he retorted, “Legal or not, it doesn’t change anything. We’re not responsible for the rumors and strings being pulled against you.”Norah, though disappointed by the lack of a clearer admission, pressed on, “Arnold, if it’s not your family, then who else could be behind this? I need to find the truth, for both our sakes you see.”Arnold, seemingly unwilling to provide more information, clenched his jaw. “I don’t know, Norah. Maybe someone who doesn’t believe justice was served to us.” He said, with a smirk appearing on his lips.As the conversation reached a stage, Norah sensed the limits of Arnold’s willingness to cooperate. She knew that extracting the truth from the difficult situation surrounding their family would require more persistence and strategic moves.Thinking of Arnold’s sharp reaction to the mention of his family, Norah seized on the sentimental opportunity, and pushed further. “Arnold, maybe it’s your

Norah stood outside the prison facility, frustration drawn across her features. Determined to speak with Arnold Adams alone, she turned to the bodyguard at her side, "Wait outside. I'll talk to Arnold myself.”The bodyguard, unmoved, shook his head. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but my orders are to follow you everywhere. It’s for your safety.”Norah, unbelieving, tried to reason with him. “This is a prison, not a war zone. I need to do this alone, please.”The bodyguard, apologetic yet serious, replied, “I understand, but your husband insisted on this, and I have to do my job, ma’am.”Determination across her face, she turned to the bodyguard by her side. “I appreciate that, but I need to talk to Arnold alone. Please wait outside.”The bodyguard, firm in his duty, shook his head. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Griffins. Your husband instructed me to accompany you inside and everywhere, no matter what you say. I can’t deviate from my orders.”Disbelief reflected in Norah’s eyes. “Charles told you to follow me
