Chasing My Innocent Ex-wife Back Chapter 15
MASON’S POVI closed my eyes for a brief second, exhaling slowly.I knew Florence and her sister weren’t close—hell, Florence never even mentioned her. Vague memories of Emily sitting in the Hart living room or walking around school pricked at me, but nothing was concrete. This didn’t prove much… but Jade’s sudden return, the bug in my room, the media leak, and Daniel showing up… Florence was in the middle of all of it. I hated not knowing things.“There’s something else…” she said. “What?”She simply handed me her tablet with a website open… the website claiming Eternity was entirely propped up by Whitehill Industries. I hated the idea of Florence, once again, waking up alone. But this was critical… “We need to go. Now.” I told my secretary. “Call the car.” ***After the board meeting in the afternoon, I decided to have a quiet lunch and think over strategies when my phone rudely interrupted me. Raiden’s name flashed on the screen. I clenched my jaw and almost ignored it.Alm

FLORENCE’S POVMason had agreed to my proposal, which was a surprise. A pleasant one.It felt like he was finally seeing me for… me. My competence, my talent, my intelligence. Not just as a childhood friend he got stuck with. I wouldn’t delude myself into thinking we were finally on good terms, but… it felt nice. I was on cloud nine as I left the conference room, smiling giddily to myself. I was back in my element, strategizing and coordinating. Mason or no Mason, I chose to be happy and do things I enjoyed rather than revolving my life around him. In the break room, I poured myself a coffee when Annalise walked in. “Hello hello, Miss PR. Aren’t you the talk of the office today!” she said. I blushed. “You heard?” “Oh, yes. The Whitehills don’t deserve your beautiful mind, but oh well,” she sighed dramatically, and I laughed. “Well. As long as Raiden’s agency looks good, I’m happy,” I said. “That’s what I’m here for. Not for Mason.” Annalise smiled with relief at that. “I’m gla

FLORENCE’S POVEverything happened in an instant.The scream. The snap of the rope. The sheer terror in Annalise’s eyes.I didn’t think. I just moved.The camera tumbled from my hands as I lunged forward, gripping Annalise’s wrist with both hands. Her weight yanked me forward, my knees slamming onto the wooden plank.“Hold on!” I gasped, my grip tightening around her.Her fingers dug into my arm, shaking violently. “I— I can’t!”“Yes, you can,” I gritted out. “Just hold on to me!”Her legs swung wildly below, nothing but open air and distant pavement beneath her. My stomach twisted, and instantly, everything turned dark. Suddenly, I was no longer looking at Annalise… it was Jade. Jade, screaming and thrashing. My mind tried to catch up with what my eyes were seeing. Memories flooded back from eight years ago when I’d reached my hand out to Jade. And just as I could feel Annalise grip my hand, I could feel my hand grip Jade’s wrist. I scrunched my eyes, praying for the vision to go

FLORENCE’S POVWhy?Why would Jade want to kill me?The question gnawed at me as I sat stiffly in the lounge. Was it because of Mason? Because I had what she wanted?Seeing my solemn expression, Mason’s mother sighed dramatically. “Jade wouldn’t hold onto something so trivial,” she said. Then she turned to me with a tight smile. “Not that you’re at fault, darling, of course. But everyone’s fine now, aren’t they?”Annalise let out a sharp, disbelieving laugh. “I almost died, and you’re saying everything’s fine?”Melissa Whitehill looked momentarily uncomfortable before pressing her lips together. Clarke stepped in smoothly, a diplomat as always. “Enough,” he said calmly. “We’re all shaken up. Let’s not make this worse.”Then, he turned to me. “Florence, I need to speak to you. Alone.”I couldn’t imagine what he wanted to talk to me about. We barely knew each other, and I doubted Clarke cared about me, Annalise, or Mason. Still, I was in their territory now. I put my tea aside and st

FLORENCE’S POVThis time, it was different.I was used to Marco’s voice threatening me and blackmailing me. But this time, he seemed… sorry. Almost concerned. This was real. I wiped away my tears, grabbed my purse, and rushed to the prison. My heart pounded as I entered the infirmary, the sterile scent burning my nose. My father lay unconscious, his breathing shallow, his skin pale.Panic clawed at my chest. “Dad…” My voice cracked.The guard beside me shook his head. “He collapsed this morning. The doctor has no idea why it happened, but they’re running tests.”Tests. That could take forever, and I didn’t trust prison hospitals to give him the best care. I’d never seen my father like this before… helpless. Vulnerable. I swallowed back a sob. The only Whitehill who seemed to care about my problems was Clarke, so I gave him a call. He answered on the second ring. “Florence?”I inhaled sharply. “I need your help.”There was a pause as if he was surprised. Then, smoothly, “Where are

FLORENCE’S POVOn the night of my husband’s birthday, I placed the cake I’d spent five hours making on the dining table, feeling a flicker of hope. Maybe this time would be different. Maybe he’d walk in, see the effort I’d put in, and smile—really smile—like he used to. Maybe, just for one night, we could be something close to happy.The front door beeped. My heart skipped, anticipation bubbling in my chest. I turned, ready to greet him.Just as Mason spotted the cake, his face turned sour. “Didn’t I tell you not to do this?” he sighed, “I have a jet waiting to take me to Chicago right now.” Even tired from his long day, he looked handsome in his tailor-made designer suit, like the wealthy, powerful CEO he was. I took the cake plate in my hands and went up to him, a big smile on my face. But he didn’t look as happy to see me. “Just take one bite of the cake,” I begged. “It’s your favorite, and I made it myself!” He pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. “Florence, I only

FLORENCE’S POVThe last thing I needed was more problems. All I wanted was to take a long bath and hopefully sleep off this dilemma. But fate, as usual, had other plans. My phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID was blocked. “Hello?” I answered. A voice I was all too familiar with came over the line, heavy and threatening: “Where’s the money for this month? Or do you no longer care about your father’s comfort in prison?”“Marco… please, just give me a few more days, please don’t hurt him! I’ll send you the money as soon as I can!” “You have 48 hours, Missy. After that… who knows?” The click on the other end told me he had hung up. It was never a long conversation with Marco—usually, he would make demands, and I would just listen. I checked my account balance and realized I was short… very short. Being the wife of a billionaire comes with perks: a hefty monthly allowance to maintain my figure, clothes, hair, and nails. Most wives spend this on spas, fancy gym memberships, design

FLORENCE’S POVFor eight years, I had laid flowers on Jade’s gravestone on the anniversary of her death. But clear as day, I saw her on my screen, flirting with my husband and snuggling up to him while he laughed. I watched him as he looked at her with a smile he hadn’t given me throughout our marriage, and my heart sank. The illusion—my game of house—was shattered. My world spun around me as I tried to make sense of the situation. Was this woman really Jade, or a lookalike? If that really was Jade, my “best friend” had some explaining to do. Where had she been all this time? How did she survive? But if it was only a look-alike… was this enough for Mason to toss me aside? A fresh batch of tears stung my eyes when an uglier thought crept in: what about my father? If Mason left me, I wouldn’t be able to ensure my father’s safety in prison.Anger took over me—for Mason, for Jade, but mostly for me. How could I have been so stupid? Before marrying Mason, I was thriving as a public re

MASON’S POVI stared at the headline flashing on my phone screen:Whitehill Family In Turmoil, Future of Eternity Group Foggy.The article was relentless. It hit on my strained relationship with my family and painted a picture of a business propped up by my parents’ wealth, claiming that without their financial support, Eternity Group would fall. It even speculated that my older brother, Clarke, would reclaim control of the family fortune and cast me out. And what hurt the most was a lot of it was factual. But only the people closest to me would have known that. I reached the end of the article when I got a call from my assistant. “Hi, Candace. Please tell me you have something useful.”“The board is demanding an urgent meeting to discuss stock prices,” she said. “They’ve been dropping since the article.” “Yeah, I’m not surprised. Schedule it for this afternoon.” “Already done.”“And Candance?” “Yes, sir?”“Find out who did this.” ***When I walked into the conference room, 12

FLORENCE’S POVThe VIP booth Daniel had booked at the club was lined with 20 bottles of premium liquor. I couldn’t figure out if he really meant to poison me with copious amounts of alcohol or was testing my resolve. Yes, maybe Mason hadn’t been the best husband. Maybe he could have been kinder, gentler… more present. But I couldn’t betray him. And somewhere in me… I still loved him. I would take even this bullet for him. Daniel leaned back, arms crossed, watching me expectantly. Emily smirked, her lips curling as if she knew I wouldn’t go through with it.I grabbed a bottle and twisted the cap off, the sharp scent of whiskey burning my nostrils. Without hesitation, I tilted my head back and downed the entire thing. I felt some of it dribble down my chin while the rest burned my throat. I wanted to cry, but I didn’t want to give Daniel the satisfaction. As I slammed the empty bottle down on the table, I noticed Daniel’s face: surprise. And… a little impressed? “Well, well. I under

FLORENCE’S POVMy breath caught in my throat.Emily?I hadn’t heard the name in so long that I’d almost forgotten it. But she wasn’t even Emily anymore… she was Carmen. Emily smirked, watching the realization dawn on me. “Finally figured it out?”I could barely nod. My thoughts tangled, flashing back to memories I hadn’t touched in years.My parents’ divorce had been a brutal one. Messy. Ugly. Final. I remembered my mother grabbing Emily’s arm and pulling her with her when she left my father. I remembered Emily screaming and crying. I remembered feeling bitter that Mum didn’t take me with them. And now… god knows how many years later… here she was under a different name. Was she hiding? Was she trying to escape something? The man beside her chuckled, breaking the silence. “You two are sisters? That makes this even easier.”Emily laughed. “Flo… meet my boyfriend. Daniel Lockwood.” I’d recall that name anywhere. Lockwood. The direct competitors of Whitehill International. Mason’s a

FLORENCE’S POVThe energy at the studio buzzed with controlled chaos, assistants running back and forth, background models adjusting their outfits, and cameras flashing nonstop.I arrived with Blake, carrying the props and materials we had painstakingly gathered for today’s shoot. This feature was critical for Catwalk Magazine, and Annalise had put her blood, sweat, and tears to make it happen. I wasn’t about to let anything go wrong.As we entered, I spotted Carmen, the lead model, already in the middle of a conversation with her makeup artist. I couldn’t stop myself from staring at her… it was almost like looking in a mirror. Except she was taller, her hair was thicker, and her skin looked like glass. She exuded an air of effortless elegance… and arrogance.Her sharp gaze landed on me the second I approached her entourage. Without a word, she reached out and snatched the briefing book from my hands.“We don’t need you,” she said dismissively, flipping through the pages with a bored
