The Billionaire’s Revenge

Part 3: The Billionaire’s Final Revenge

The following morning, Evan returned to the hospital carrying a small bouquet of white roses.

Clare was awake, sitting against the pillows.

He placed the flowers on the table.

“I thought you might like these.”

“Thank you.”

Her voice was polite but distant.

Evan pulled a chair beside her bed.

“I’ve spoken to the police. Sabrina’s statement doesn’t match the security footage. The investigation is moving forward.”

Clare stared out the window.

“Good.”

“Her accounts connected to my company have been frozen. She won’t be able to use my name or resources anymore.”

Clare finally looked at him.

“Why are you telling me this?”

“Because I want you to know I’m protecting you.”

She gave a small, painful smile.

“You should have protected me before she pushed me.”

Evan lowered his head.

“I know.”

For a moment, neither spoke.

Then Clare reached toward the drawer beside her bed and pulled out a document.

She placed it on the blanket.

Evan recognized it immediately.

Divorce papers.

His expression changed.

“Clare…”

“I signed them last night.”

He stared at her signature.

“You can’t be serious.”

“I’ve never been more serious about anything.”

“We have a daughter.”

“Exactly. And she deserves a mother who isn’t constantly begging her father to come home.”

Evan’s voice cracked.

“Please give me another chance.”

Clare shook her head.

“I gave you hundreds.”

Before he could answer, Daniel entered the room.

“Mr. Collins, we need to talk. It’s urgent.”

Evan stepped outside.

Daniel looked unusually tense.

“We found something on Sabrina’s phone.”

“What?”

“She had been communicating with someone inside Collins Global Holdings. Someone who provided her with your private travel schedule and information about Mrs. Collins’ medical appointments.”

Evan’s expression darkened.

“Who?”

Daniel hesitated.

“Your mother, sir.”

Evan went completely still.

“My mother?”

“Mrs. Collins has been communicating with Sabrina for months. We recovered messages discussing your marriage and the possibility of removing Clare from your life.”

Evan took the phone Daniel offered.

The messages were unmistakable.

Clare has become an obstacle.

Evan needs a woman who understands his position.

Once she leaves, everything will become easier.

One message was even more disturbing.

Make sure she understands that the baby won’t change anything.

Evan felt sick.

His mother, Margaret Collins, had always disliked Clare.

She believed Clare came from an ordinary family and wasn’t worthy of the Collins fortune.

But he had never imagined she would encourage Sabrina to attack his pregnant wife.

“Where is my mother?”

“At the family residence.”

Evan returned to Clare’s room.

“I need to leave for a few hours.”

She nodded.

“Go.”

He looked at her.

“I’ll come back.”

Clare didn’t answer.

At noon, Evan entered the Collins family mansion.

Margaret was sitting in the living room, drinking tea.

Beside her stood Sabrina.

Both women looked surprised when Evan walked in.

“Evan!” Margaret exclaimed. “You’re finally home. I’ve been trying to reach you.”

He placed a tablet on the coffee table.

“Explain this.”

Margaret glanced at the messages.

Her expression changed slightly.

“Where did you get those?”

“That’s your first question?”

Sabrina stepped forward.

“Evan, darling, your mother and I were only trying to help you.”

He turned toward her.

“Don’t call me darling.”

Sabrina’s eyes filled with tears.

“It was an accident at the hospital. I never intended to hurt Clare.”

Evan pressed the play button.

The hospital footage appeared on the large television.

Everyone watched Sabrina shove Clare backward.

Margaret immediately looked away.

“She shouldn’t have done that,” she muttered.

“Shouldn’t have?” Evan repeated.

His voice rose.

“She pushed my seven-month-pregnant wife onto a hospital floor!”

Margaret stood.

“Clare has always been dramatic. Perhaps if she hadn’t provoked Sabrina—”

“Stop.”

The single word silenced the room.

Evan looked at his mother with disbelief.

“That woman is carrying your granddaughter.”

Margaret folded her arms.

“I was thinking about your future. Sabrina is better suited to this family.”

“My future?”

He laughed bitterly.

“You helped another woman terrorize my pregnant wife because you wanted a different daughter-in-law?”

Sabrina stepped closer.

“Evan, I love you. You know that. I only wanted us to be together.”

He looked at her coldly.

“You wanted my money, my name, and my position. Don’t confuse that with love.”

He turned to Daniel.

“Prepare the legal documents. Sabrina is no longer welcome on any Collins property. My mother will no longer have access to company accounts or executive decisions.”

Margaret gasped.

“You cannot do this to your own mother!”

“I can. And I am.”

Then he looked at Sabrina.

“The police will receive every recording and message we recovered. You’ll answer for what happened at the hospital.”

Sabrina began crying.

“Evan, please!”

But he had already turned away.

For once, he wasn’t interested in hearing another excuse.

Three weeks later, Clare was discharged from the hospital.

Her pregnancy remained under close medical supervision, and she had moved into a quiet apartment overlooking Central Park.

Evan paid for the medical care, but Clare insisted on keeping her own legal and financial arrangements separate.

He visited every afternoon.

Sometimes she spoke to him.

Sometimes she didn’t.

He never complained.

Meanwhile, Sabrina was formally charged in connection with the hospital assault. The investigation into her actions and the involvement of Margaret continued. Margaret was also facing scrutiny over her role in the events.

Evan had lost more than his mistress.

He had lost the trust of the woman who had once loved him unconditionally.

One evening, he arrived at Clare’s apartment and found her sitting beside the window, holding an ultrasound photograph.

“She’s beautiful,” he whispered.

Clare looked down at the picture.

“She has your nose.”

Evan smiled sadly.

“May I sit with you?”

She nodded.

He sat beside her, leaving a little distance between them.

“Clare, I want you to know something. I ended everything with Sabrina. I removed everyone who helped hurt you. And I’ve started seeing a counselor because I need to understand how I became the kind of man who could abandon his own family.”

Clare remained quiet.

“I know I don’t deserve forgiveness,” he continued. “But I want to become a better father, even if I never become your husband again.”

For the first time, Clare looked at him without anger.

“That’s the first thing you’ve said that I believe.”

Evan swallowed.

“Can I ask you something?”

“What?”

“Will you ever love me again?”

Clare looked toward the city lights.

“I don’t know, Evan. And I’m not going to promise you anything.”

He nodded.

“I understand.”

Then she placed the ultrasound photograph on the table.

“She’s due in two months. If you want to be her father, you can start by showing up.”

Evan looked at the photograph, his eyes filling with tears.

“I will. I promise.”

Two months later, their daughter was born.

Evan was standing beside Clare when the tiny baby finally cried.

“She’s here!” the doctor announced.

Evan covered his mouth, tears streaming down his face.

Clare smiled weakly.

“Meet your daughter, Evan.”

He gently held the newborn in his arms.

“Hello, little princess,” he whispered. “I’m your daddy.”

He kissed her forehead.

For the first time, he understood that no amount of money could buy back the moments he had missed.

He named her Grace.

Not because their marriage had been perfect, but because he hoped their daughter would grow up surrounded by kindness and never have to question whether she was loved.

Several weeks later, Clare received the finalized divorce documents.

She signed them without hesitation.

Evan signed too.

He didn’t fight her decision.

He continued supporting Grace and remained present in her life, but he no longer demanded that Clare return to him.

On the day Clare moved into her own home, Evan stood at the doorway holding Grace’s baby bag.

“Take care of yourself,” he said.

Clare smiled gently.

“You too.”

Then she walked away with their daughter in her arms.

Evan watched them disappear down the hallway.

He had once believed being a billionaire meant he could have anything he wanted.

Now he understood the truth.

He could rebuild his company.

He could replace his fortune.

He could destroy the people who had betrayed his family.

But he could never force a woman to love him again.

And that was the one loss his billions could never repair.

The End.
