The Billionaire’s Revenge

Part 2: The Truth Behind the Betrayal

Evan Collins had never run through a hospital corridor in his life.

But that afternoon, he did.

His expensive shoes struck the polished floor as he hurried toward the maternity emergency unit. Daniel followed closely behind.

“Where is my wife?”

A nurse looked up.

“Are you Mr. Collins?”

“Yes. Where is Clare?”

“She’s undergoing emergency examinations. The doctors are monitoring the baby.”

Evan’s face turned pale.

“Is my daughter alive?”

The nurse hesitated.

“Her heartbeat is still detectable, but your wife has experienced significant abdominal trauma. The next few hours are critical.”

Evan felt something tighten in his chest.

He had ignored seventeen calls from Clare over the past month.

He had missed two prenatal appointments.

And now, when his wife needed him most, he had arrived too late to prevent the disaster.

“Can I see her?”

“Not yet. Please wait.”

Evan turned toward Daniel.

“Find the woman who did this.”

“Security has already identified Sabrina. Police are searching for her.”

“Then make sure she doesn’t leave the city.”

Daniel nodded.

A moment later, the hospital director approached.

“Mr. Collins, there’s something you should know.”

“What?”

“We reviewed the security footage. This wasn’t an accident. Miss Cole deliberately pushed your wife.”

Evan’s jaw tightened.

“Get me a copy.”

The director hesitated.

“There’s another issue. Before the incident, Miss Cole had been making inquiries about your wife’s medical records.”

Evan stared at him.

“Why?”

“We don’t know yet.”

Before he could respond, the operating-room doors opened.

A doctor stepped outside.

“Mr. Collins?”

Evan immediately approached him.

“How is my wife?”

“Mrs. Collins is stable. Fortunately, the baby still has a heartbeat. However, we’re keeping her under close observation because there are signs of possible placental complications.”

Evan closed his eyes briefly.

“Can I see her?”

“Yes, but please don’t upset her.”

When Evan entered the room, Clare was lying beneath a white blanket. An IV line ran into her arm, and her face was unusually pale.

Her eyes opened slowly.

“Evan?”

He rushed to her bedside.

“I’m here, sweetheart.”

She looked at him for several seconds.

Then she turned her face toward the window.

“You came.”

His heart sank.

“Of course I came.”

“You didn’t answer the hospital’s first call.”

Evan had no answer.

Clare placed one trembling hand over her stomach.

“I thought I was going to lose her.”

He gently reached for her hand.

“I’m sorry.”

She pulled away.

“Please don’t.”

“Clare…”

“I spent months waiting for you to come home. I waited for you to ask about the baby. I waited for you to notice that I was lonely.”

Her voice cracked.

“But today, when I was lying on that floor, I realized something.”

Evan swallowed.

“What?”

“I couldn’t depend on you anymore.”

Those words hurt him more than any accusation.

He sat silently beside her bed.

Then Clare whispered, “I want a divorce.”

Evan froze.

“Not now. You’re frightened and exhausted. We can discuss this later.”

“No, Evan. I’ve been thinking about it for months.”

He lowered his head.

For the first time, he understood that his wife’s silence had never meant forgiveness.

It had meant she was slowly giving up.

Meanwhile, Sabrina Cole was sitting in her penthouse apartment, frantically calling Evan.

He didn’t answer.

She threw her phone onto the sofa.

“Why isn’t he answering?”

Her friend, Vanessa, looked nervous.

“Sabrina, the police have already contacted your lawyer.”

“Then tell them it was an accident!”

“But the hospital has cameras.”

Sabrina’s expression changed.

She grabbed her phone again and opened her messages with Evan.

There was something she hadn’t told him.

For months, she had been secretly communicating with someone inside Collins Global Holdings.

And that person had promised her that once Clare was out of the picture, she would become Evan’s wife.

Her phone suddenly rang.

An unfamiliar number.

“Hello?”

A man’s voice answered.

“You need to leave New York immediately.”

“Who is this?”

“Someone who knows what really happened to Mrs. Collins.”

Sabrina went silent.

Then the man added:

“And if Evan discovers what you did before today, your situation will become much worse.”

The call ended.

Sabrina stared at her phone.

For the first time, she realized that someone else might be controlling the entire situation.

And that someone was much more dangerous than Evan.
