Billionaire 's Delicate Wife Chapter 43
Arnold’s vulnerability:I felt like I was losing control. The discovery of Damian and Lily's dark plan to take over the Hawthorne company had thrown my world into disarray, and the weight of it all threatened to destroy me. As I paced the confines of my office, my mind raced with a thousand alternative scenarios, each worse than the last. Damian and Lily had made it clear that they would stop at nothing to achieve their aim, and the notion of them tearing apart everything I cared about made me violently nauseous. The Hawthorne legacy, the corporation that had provided my family with a living for generations, was at risk. And I couldn't stop it. I'd spent my entire life working to develop and preserve that empire, only to have it stolen away by my own flesh and blood and the woman who once professed to love me. I felt a familiar sense of powerlessness rush over me as recollections of my time with Lily threatened to consume me whole. I could still feel the pain of her betrayal—how she h

A Deadly Confrontation:The sight of Lily standing there, with that aggravating smile on her lips, triggered a surge of mixed feelings in me. Part of me wanted to run to her and give in to the pull she'd always had on me. But the other part, the one shaped by Alice's steadfast love and support, recoiled at the mere concept. "Lily," I managed to croak out, my voice filled with dread and barely restrained rage. "What are you doing here?" Her eyes glinted with malicious enjoyment as she stepped deeper into the room, briefly focusing on Alice. "Why, I was simply passing by and couldn't resist the urge to check in on my dear Arnold," she murmured, her tone oozing with fake concern. I felt Alice stiffen beside me, her grip on my arm becoming more protective. "That's very considerate of you, Lily," she remarked, her voice tinged with a barely hidden edge. "But, as you can see, Arnold is quite busy right now." Maybe you might come back another time." Lily's smile grew wider as she took anothe

The Truth:As the security men took Lily away, kicking and crying, I felt a rush of mixed emotions sweep over me. Of course, I was relieved that my wife and unborn child were safe, but I also felt deep grief and regret. After all, Lily was once the center of my universe, the woman I loved with every fiber of my being. But now, as I saw her fighting and cursing, all I could feel was deep disappointment. How had we gotten to this point, with Lily so filled with hatred and envy that she would resort to violence to recover me? A soothing hand on my arm took me out of my chaotic thoughts, and I turned to see Alice's face, which was carved with worry and concern. "Arnold," she replied, just above a whisper. "Are you alright?" I exhaled shakily and pulled her into a tight embrace. "I am now," I said softly, laying a delicate kiss on the top of her head. "I'm just... I'm so sorry you had to see that." Alice's arms tightened around me, and I could feel tremors in her body. "What is she plannin

Chasing Lily away Arnold forcibly removes Lily from his home, effectively ending their relationship. Lily vows vengeance and plans to carry out her plot. The air was thick with tension as I stormed back into the Hawthorne manor, Lily's damning revelation still fresh in my mind. She had never truly loved me; everything had been a deliberate lie, a manipulation to acquire access to power and fortune. The lady I once adored, to whom I freely gave my heart, was nothing more than a hollow shell driven by greed and ambition. "Arnold!" Alice's words cut through my tumultuous thoughts, and I turned to see her running towards me, her face filled with worry. "What happened?" "What did she say?" I felt a flood of anguish and wrath wash over me as I stared into the eyes of the woman I truly loved, the one who had been by my side through everything. How could I have been so blind, so gullible, to fall for Lily's devious games? "She played me, Alice," I gasped out, squeezing my fists at my sides. "

Lily's parting threats lingered over us like a dark cloud, reminding us that the lady who claimed to love me was suddenly our greatest foe. But, even as we secured our home with extra security measures, I felt that simply hunkering down would be insufficient. If we were to properly protect ourselves and our family from the tempest that Lily had unleashed, we needed to battle her. We needed to know the full depth of her ambitions as well as the identity of her co-conspirator, my cousin Damian. The mere thought of Damian's involvement triggered a surge of wrath in my veins.

Comatose:Arnold is engaged in a terrible accident while protecting Alice, leaving him in a vegetative state.

Arnold and I were traveling home from a meeting with our private investigators, discussing the latest findings in our efforts to expose Damian and Lily's wicked machinations. Then came a flurry of motion, a bone-jarring hit, and nothing but darkness. I slipped in and out of awareness, fractured recollections flashing through my head like disjointed fragments of a nightmare. Arnold's face was twisted with dread and pain as he grabbed for me. The bright glare of flashing lights and the scream of distant sirens. Then came a great, infinite nothingness that appeared to swallow me completely. When I finally awoke, it was to the clinical whiteness of a hospital ward, with equi

Alice's determination:The first several weeks following Arnold's injury were a whirl of restless nights, incessant pacing, and a nagging worry that threatened to take me whole. As I sat by his bedside, watching the rise and fall of his chest with each difficult breath, I couldn't escape the feeling that time was running out and that the window of opportunity for him to wake up and return to me was gradually closing. But then, in the quietest moments, when the hospital was bathed in the calm of darkness and the world seemed to hold its breath, I felt a tiny flutter from within—a reminder of the life we had built together, the embodiment of our love that deserved to meet its father. And in those moments, a furious determination would flow through me, solidifying my will like steel. I wouldn't give up. Not on Arnold, our family, and especially not on me. With a renewed sense of purpose, I began to play an active role in Arnold's care, looking over medical publications and communicating

Unveiling the conspiracy:The farther I went into Lily and Damian's convoluted web, the more I felt like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, with each new revelation more weird and unnerving than the last. Financial data, once a jumble of numbers and figures, began to take on frightening new significance as patterns formed, portraying a picture of systemic fraud and embezzlement on a scale I couldn't fathom. Damian's deceit appeared limitless. He'd spent years painstakingly siphoning money from the Hawthorne empire, using a large network of shell businesses and offshore accounts to hide his activities. And Lily, that nasty snake, had been his willing accomplice, her beauty and guile providing the ideal distraction as Damian worked diligently to undermine Arnold's authority from within. As the scheme unfolded before me, layer by layer, I felt a surge of righteous rage rise in my chest. How could these horrible, soulless animals attempt to destroy what Arnold and I had built?

A New Beginning:The thundering thunder of gunshots rang across the courtyard, and the pungent scent of cordite stung Arnold's nostrils. He clutched Alice against him, ready for the inevitable shower of bullets that would rip through their bodies and end their lives. But the onslaught never arrived. Bewildered, Arnold opened his eyes to see the mercenary firing line swaying in bewilderment. Their raised weapons' barrels were aimed skyward, sending columns of smoke harmlessly into the night air. Alice awoke in his arms, her eyes wide with the same bewildered apprehension as they gradually untangled themselves from their protective hold. The remaining henchmen in the courtyard were in chaos, their attitudes ranging from combat-ready to completely disoriented. A low, rumbling cadence of rotor blades reached Arnold's ears, quickly increasing in loudness. A big black helicopter banked over the estate, its running lights strobing crimson against the clouds of bitter smoke that remained in t

Bullets ricocheted off the strengthened chassis as they smashed through the gates, scattering shattered metal and splintered wood. The car fishtailed wildly before Alice regained control, the tires wailing in protest as she slid across the courtyard in a spray of debris. More armed guards approached them from all sides, raising their firearms and aimin

Tubes emerged from his body, carrying vital fluids and medications. Alice kept a single watch at his bedside, her eyes swollen from sleepless nights and a constant stream of tears. "You have to wake up," she said softly, grasping his limp hand. "The kids need you. "I need you." As if responding, Arnold's fingers trembled almost slightly on her hand. Alice's head jolted up, and new tears welled up as she examined his face, looking for any additional indications of consciousness. Arnold's eyelids flickered open gradually and painfully. He blinked owlishly, his brow furrowing in puzzlement as he took in the sterile surroundings. "A...Alice?" His voice was barely more than a croak. "Arnold!" She leaned closer and cradled his face in her quivering hands. "You are awake! Oh, thank God, you are awake!"
