Billionaire Visits His Abandoned Home, But Shocked to See His Dead Wife Living There With His Son.

“I don’t think so,”

Evelyn said.

“I’ve been careful. Very careful. I never use my real name. I pay for everything in cash. Lucas goes to school under my maiden name. We stay hidden. We stay quiet.”

“You shouldn’t have to live like that,”

Nathan said, anger rising in his voice now.

“You shouldn’t have to hide. You shouldn’t have to work two jobs and struggle to survive while I.”

“While you what?”

Evelyn asked.

“While you lived in luxury? While you slept in your expensive apartment? While you never questioned, never doubted, never looked for the truth? While you believed the lie,”

Evelyn finished for him.

“While you moved on with your life and forgot about me.”

“I never forgot you,”

Nathan said, his voice breaking.

“Not for one single day. I thought about you every day. I missed you every day. I just I thought you were gone.”

“And now I’m not,”

Evelyn said.

“So, what happens now, Nathan? What are you going to do?”

It was the biggest question, the most important question. What was he going to do? Nathan looked at Evelyn, this woman he had loved, this woman he had mourned, this woman who had suffered so much because of his mother. Then he thought about Lucas upstairs, his son, his child, a boy who didn’t even know he existed. And he thought about his mother, the woman who had raised him, who he had trusted and loved his whole life. The woman who was actually a monster.

“I don’t know,”

Nathan spoke honestly.

“But I’m going to fix this somehow. I’m going to make this right.”

“You can’t fix this,”

Evelyn said sadly.

“What’s done is done. Eight years are gone. We can’t get them back.”

“Maybe not,”

Nathan said.

“But we can stop running. We can stop hiding. And we can make sure my mother never hurts anyone ever again.”

Evelyn looked at him with doubt in her eyes.

“And how exactly do you plan to do that?”

Nathan’s jaw tightened, his hands clenched into fists.

“I’m going to confront her,”

he said.

“I’m going to make her admit what she did. And then then I’m going to make sure she pays for it.”

“Nathan, you can’t!”

Evelyn started to say, but Nathan was already walking toward the door.
