The Billionaire Crazy Wife CHAPTER 103: The Scars of Janet's Past
DAVIDBella's gaze lingered on me as the car glided through the streets toward the estate. I could feel the weight of her curiosity pressing against my silence."What happened?" she asked, her voice soft but insistent.I forced a smile that barely reached my eyes. "Nothing."Her eyes narrowed. "Don’t lie to me, David. Your whole demeanor changed the second you checked your phone."A muscle in my jaw tightened as I weighed my words. "Someone’s after my sister.""Who?" she pressed, leaning slightly toward me."Denise," I said curtly.Her brows furrowed. "Who’s Denise? I don’t think you’ve ever mentioned him.""You wouldn’t know him," I said, my tone clipped."Then tell me. Maybe I will," she replied, her persistence unwavering.The car pulled to a stop in front of my mansion, its grand facade illuminated by the soft glow of the outdoor lights. My assistant stepped out and opened Bella’s door. I followed, my eyes scanning the grounds instinctively, looking for any sign of trouble."Have

DAVID“Babe, you need to rest,” I said softly, brushing a stray curl from Bella’s face.Her eyelids fluttered, heavy with sleep, but she managed a small nod. “I think... you’re right,” she murmured, her voice thick with exhaustion.Taking her hand, I guided her to her room, watching as she stifled a yawn. The moment her head hit the pillow, she was out like a light, mumbling a faint “Good night” that made me smile.I stood there for a moment, my gaze lingering on her. The soft rise and fall of her chest, the slight curve of her lips pregnancy had added a glow to her, even as it filled her face out a little. To me, she was perfection. Leaning down, I kissed her forehead gently, then pulled the blanket up to her chin.“Sleep well, my love,” I whispered, turning off the lamp and quietly shutting the door behind me.But as I stepped into the hallway, my serenity evaporated. Janet. My sister’s fear weighed heavily on me, and I couldn’t shake the tension knotting my shoulders. Without hesit

DAVIDI spent the entire night poring over strategies to dismantle Denise’s plans. The moment Bella insisted on joining the fight, I knew I had to shut her down.“No, Bella,” I said, my voice firm but gentle. “You’re pregnant. I can’t risk your life or our baby’s.”Her eyes flared with defiance, her hands folding over her growing belly. “But you and Janet risked your lives to bring the people who tried to kill me to justice,” she argued, her voice steady, daring me to counter.I sighed, running a hand through my hair, frustration evident. “How about you visit your father for a while?” I suggested. “By the time you’re back, we’ll have taken care of Denise.”She crossed her arms, the set of her jaw telling me I’d already lost this battle. “No, David. I’m staying. That’s final.”I exhaled sharply, pinching the bridge of my nose. Arguing with a determined woman especially a pregnant one was a battle destined for failure.“All right, fine,” I muttered, waving a white flag in my mind. “But

BELLA"You shouldn’t have said much, Bella," Elowen teased, her voice carrying a hint of exasperation as she swiveled in her chair to face me. "Now he won’t stop talking. Thank God others are around. If not, you’d be stuck listening to him all day." She sighed dramatically, glancing at Emmanuelle, who had just sauntered back to her desk.I chuckled, shaking my head as I watched Emmanuelle settle in. Sitting across from Elowen, I couldn’t help but notice how oblivious Emmanuelle seemed. She was always chatty, spilling secrets like water from a broken faucet. And Vivian? She had Emmanuelle wrapped around her little finger.Poor girl. She thinks Vivian is her friend. If only she knew the truth. Vivian’s web of lies had fooled many, but I wasn’t one of them. Claiming to be connected to the Copperfield family when her mother was just a servant? And now, she was getting closer to Denise, weaving him into her schemes. My stomach twisted at the thought. If they were planning what I suspected,

DAVIDThe morning sun streamed through the wide windows of the Copperfield mansion, but its warmth did little to ease the cold knot of anxiety in my chest. Janet stood by the doorway, dressed in a simple tracksuit. Her fingers fiddled with the hem of her jacket, a nervous habit she hadn’t shaken since childhood.“You ready?” I asked, keeping my tone casual.Her eyes flicked up to meet mine, uncertain but resolute. She nodded once.“Good.” I stepped closer, brushing an invisible speck of lint from her shoulder. In the same motion, I adjusted the tiny tracker I had sewn into the inner seam of her jacket. It wasn’t much, but it would ensure I knew her every move.“Remember,” I said, lowering my voice, “if anything feels off, just play along. Don’t give them any reason to suspect you.”Janet’s lips pressed into a thin line. She nodded again, but the slight tremor in her hands betrayed her fear. I wanted to call the whole thing off, but I couldn’t—not this time.As she walked down the long

DAVIDThe gravel crunched beneath my polished shoes as I approached the decrepit house, its peeling paint and broken windows matching the decay I felt brewing inside me. My guards moved silently, circling the structure like shadows. I raised a hand, signaling them to hold position as I neared the door.Then, I heard her voice. Janet’s voice, strained and trembling.“Do you think David will let you go scot-free?” she demanded, her words sharp despite the pain behind them.“He doesn’t have to find out,” Vivian replied, her tone cold and resolute.My jaw clenched. I kicked the door in with a force that sent it crashing against the wall, the wood splintering under my fury. Inside, chaos erupted. Denise bolted for the window, but he didn’t get far. Two of my guards caught him mid-leap, a solid punch to his jaw sending him sprawling to the floor.Vivian stood frozen, her wide eyes darting between me and the guards dragging Denise back into the room. Her hands trembled as she took a step bac

JANETThe sharp ache in my side dragged me from a restless sleep. My body protested as I sat up, every movement feeling like a battle. The sunlight streamed through the curtains, soft but unrelenting, highlighting the faint dust motes floating in the air. I groaned, my voice raspy and weak, catching sight of David slouched in a chair beside my bed, his head tilted at an awkward angle. Bella was curled up in another chair, her knees tucked to her chest, her face soft in sleep.They must have stayed with me all night. Babysitters. My lips curled in a bitter smile as I shifted my weight, the rustling of the sheets loud in the still room.David stirred first, rubbing the back of his neck before his eyes snapped to mine. Relief flooded his face as he rose and approached. “You’re awake,” he said, his voice low but steady.“Barely,” I muttered, forcing a weak grin.“Are you okay?” he asked, crouching beside me, his eyes scanning my face.I nodded but winced as pain flared through my ribs. “I

BELLAThe house was quiet, too quiet.It had been a week since everything unfolded a week since Janet showed a side of herself I’d never imagined existed. I thought David had the monopoly on cold, calculating intensity, but no. It seemed to run deep in the Copperfield bloodline. Janet’s icy demeanor and unrelenting drive had sent chills down my spine.As I sat on the edge of my bed, my hands instinctively rested on my growing belly. My thoughts wandered as I absently traced small circles over the bump. Would our baby inherit that cold fire? That unflinching resolve?“No,” I whispered to the empty room, shaking my head firmly. “I won’t let that happen.”But as I glanced in the mirror, my reflection didn’t look so certain. My hand lingered on my stomach, my mind replaying moments of David’s intense glares, Janet’s sharp words, and even Grandpa’s commanding presence. Would this little life growing inside me carry those traits?The sudden creak of the bedroom door snapped me out of my spi

BELLADavid’s warm breath brushed against my forehead as he pressed a tender kiss there. I leaned into his broad chest, letting the rhythmic hum of the car engine soothe me. The world outside the tinted windows blurred into streaks of green and gray, but my mind was stuck on a question I had never gotten a proper answer to.Jasper’s biological mother.I’d asked David countless times, but he always deflected, sidestepping the truth with a practiced ease. Early in our relationship, my curiosity had earned me a sharp glare and a clipped response, a warning not to pry. His reaction then only fueled my suspicions. Whoever she was, she wasn’t Lizzy. That much I knew.Jasper hated Lizzy with a passion that went far beyond childish rebellion.Lost in thought, I glanced up at David’s face, his sharp jawline and piercing eyes commanding attention even when he wasn’t trying. Before I could look away, he caught me.“Am I that handsome you can’t tear your eyes away?” he teased, a playful grin tugg
