Between Ruin And Resolve: My Ex-Husband’s Regret

Chapter XXX:

This couldn’t be happening. Noah, of all people, had folded? The guy was usually as tight-lipped as they came. How had Sadie managed to pry the truth out of him so easily?

Back then, no matter what he tried, Noah had never budged. Yet somehow, Sadie got him to spill everything? It didn’t make sense.

Samuel, who lingered by the door, showed a flicker of surprise at Sadie’s unexpected statement. When had Patrick supposedly confessed? Samuel hadn’t caught even a whisper about it. That’s when the realization hit—Sadie had to be bluffing. Samuel lowered his gaze, slipping easily into the role of an invisible bystander. A creeping sense of unease swept over Blaine, making his skin itch with anxiety.

He sneaked another glance at Sadie.

She sat there as if nothing could shake her—so completely in control that Blaine couldn’t tell whether she was bluffing or simply already knew every answer.

Could Noah truly betray him like that, all for a chance to win Sadie’s heart? To be honest, Blaine wouldn’t be surprised at all. It was obvious to anyone that Noah was utterly captivated by her.

After wrestling with his thoughts, Blaine decided there was no point in hiding anything. There was nothing he’d done that crossed a line, and Noah had betrayed him first. Besides, Sharon wasn’t in any danger.

He inhaled deeply, steadying himself, then addressed Sadie.

“Look, Sadie, I hope you won’t misunderstand my intentions,” he said. “I give you my word, I did carry out the plan to move Sharon, but I never meant her any harm.”

“She’s currently in a private care facility just outside the city. Security is tight, and nobody can visit without official approval from the Castro family. Only my grandfather can sign off on that.”

Sadie’s eyebrows flickered at this new information.

In the end, Ralph remained the only gatekeeper she’d have to contend with. Lifting her cup to her lips, she took a measured sip, her face giving nothing away.

Her voice stayed calm as she asked, “Besides that, what else are you hiding from me?”

Blaine was stunned. His eyes grew wide as his mind scrambled to make sense of what he had just heard.

Hadn’t Sadie said Noah already told her everything? Why was she still asking him about this? Could it be…

A thought hit him like a bolt of lightning, leaving him shuddering in fright. His hand instinctively reached up and connected with his forehead in a resounding slap.

Sadie had tricked him into spilling the truth.

This was a complete disaster. His grandfather would dress him down for sure.

Sadie stood up and took a step closer, her gaze chillingly cold.

“Blaine, I’ve always considered you family. I want you to be honest with me now.”

Blaine froze, even as beads of cold sweat began to dot his face.

Regret washed over him. He had effectively trapped himself in a corner. If he had known that Sadie was this sharp and quick-witted, he would have never even thought about deceiving her.
