Rebirth After Being Betrayed by My Husband by Isabella Reed

Chapter 29 Finished Ethan shot a sharp glare at Mr. Parker, his cold demeanor cutting through the tension in the room. Parker raised his hands defensively. "Why are you glaring at me? I gave you such a brilliant idea!" Ethan's expression didn't soften. "Only an idiot like you would think that was a good idea," he said icily.

Parker's jaw dropped. "A stupid idea? Really?" He pouted, visibly offended. "Fine, my idea's stupid. So, genius, what's your grand plan?" "Nothing." Ethan replied flatly.

'Nothing?" Parker's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're just going to sit back and let someone else take your girl?" Ethan nodded. "If that's what it takes for her to be happy Parker stared at him as if he'd grown two heads. "You're serious? You're really going to do nothing?" "What else can I do?” Ethan said, his voice tinged with melancholy. "She loves him." "So what?" Parker exclaimed. "Make her see his flaws. Make her hate him if you have to." Ethan's brows knitted in a frown. "If I do that, she'll be hurt. I don't want her to be sad. I want her to be happy- always." Parker let out a frustrated groan and buried his face in his hands. He knew his friend all too well. Once Ethan made up his mind about something, there was no changing it. Logic, persuasion, even threats-none of it worked on him when he was this resolute.

As his mind whirled for a better solution, Parker's eyes landed on a crumpled piece of paper on the floor. Curious, he picked it up and straightened it. The contents caught his attention immediately, and as he read through the details, his shock deepened.

"Whoa," Parker muttered, his voice laced with disbelief. "I never knew the Miller Family had skeletons like this in their closet." The more he read, the more the pieces fell into place. He now understood why Ethan was so captivated by Lily. Her photo, attached to the report, radiated innocence and purity. Her naive, untainted expression stirred something protective even in Parker.

"She's really beautiful," he said, glancing at Ethan. "It's no wonder you fell for her. But this...." He waved the paper. "This is insane. The way they've treated her-it's disgusting." Ethan didn't respond. His face remained stoic, but the intensity in his eyes spoke volumes. It wasn't just about love anymore; it was about justice and giving Lily the life she deserved.

"Listen," Parker said carefully, sitting across from him. "You're not going to let this slide, are you? If you won't make her see the truth about that guy, at least help her break free from the people who are using her. She deserves better." Ethan remained silent, staring at the photo of Lily on his desk. His mind was already working, calculating the next steps. While he might not force his way into her life, he wasn't going to let her suffer in silence, either.

"What's your plan then?" Parker asked softly.

Ethan hesitated before responding. “I'll just watch over her from a distance. I'll help her in any way I can without interfering in her life. If she's truly happy with Ryan, then I'll step away.

Neither of them spoke after that, lost in their own thoughts. For the next few days, Ethan devoted himself to observing Lily and her relationship with Ryan. Every simile on her face brought him a strange sense of peace. As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered. Ethan had already concluded that if Ryan could keep her content, then he would keep his distance and disappear from her life.

But as twent on, two months passed, and Ethan threw himself into his work, trying to distract himself. One day, while preparing for a meeting, his phone buzzed. It was Mr. Parker.

"Ethan, guess who I just saw!" cParker's excited voice.

"Who?" Ethan asked indifferently, not expecting much.

"Ryan !" Parker said, his excitement evident.

"So?" Ethan replied flatly.

"Don't you want to know who he was with?" Parker teased. Without waiting for a response, he continued, “Lettell you-you're going to be thrilled. I saw Ryan with another woman. They were headed to a hotel room, practically glued to each other. You know what I mean." Ethan's grip on the phone tightened, his jaw clenching as fury ignited within him. "How dare he? How dare he betray Lily like that?" Parker chuckled on the other end. “It's awful, but this is your chance! Get rid of that scumbag and win your future sister-in-law's heart." "You're sure it was him?" Ethan asked, his voice icy and restrained.

"Absolutely. And that's not all,” Parker added. “I've learned something else. He's in a relationship with Rose! That guy's nothing but a sleazy opportunist." Ethan's anger simmered, but he maintained his composure. "Good. That'll make what happens next easier.” "Best of luck!" Parker cheered before the call ended.

Ethan smirked as he put his phone down, his anger now laser-focused. The Miller Family and Ryan had m made a grave mistake by treating Lily so poorly. He vowed that he wouldn't stand idly by while they took advantage of her.

In the days that followed, Ethan tried everything to get close to Lily or find a way to reveal the truth about her so-called family and Ryan Yet every I family and! effort was met with frustration. Her life revolved entirely around the Miller Family and that deceitful man. She rarely wentured out without them, leaving Ethan feeling like he was trying to breach an impenetrable fortress.

At the Miller Family's grand party not long after, Ethan finally saw the crack in her armor-the concealed hatred in her eyes as she interacted with her so-called family. It was a turning point. He realized that she was beginning to see the truth for herself.
