Billionaire, Let's Divorce! by BELLA

Chapter 0433

DENNIS

Ana got admitted to a mental health crisis center, and I spent most of my days there. Even though I try to equally share my time between work, Justin and Amie, I found myself spending the most time here.

Work was going absolutely fine. I now made way more than I used to before I got duped, but I wasn't happy. The love of my life was in a psychiatric home. Everyday I go there, I hope that her condition will soon begin to improve. Half the time, she seemed fine, just sitting there all by herself with a neutral expression. She wouldn't speak with anyone for hours, the other half was spent crying and begging me to take us to Amie. The doctor said she was getting better, but it didn't look like it to me.

Justin was doing very well. He didn't seem to be grieving like Aiden had suggested. There were times when he'd cry and nothing would make him stop until he fell asleep, but those times were rare and I just think it was his mom that he missed.

I ensured that I always made time for him, just as I made time for Ana, no matter how hectic work was. I didn't want to entirely leave him to his nanny. Though she was a nice woman, I wanted Aiden to grow to know another face apart from his nanny's. "Amie's captors and killers have been caught," I told Ana the last time I visited.

She beamed and clapped. "Yay. We should take them with us to Amie so that she can punish them." Then she added, "Amie is now very powerful." She proceeded her words with a raised arm, showing me her biceps. "Her powers are here. I saw it. She showed me." I just smiled and nodded. And she did the same, flashing me her beautiful smile.

The henchmen that the captors hired, the ones that they claimed were the ones that shot Amie, were later arrested too.

My surprise knew no bounds when I saw who the captors were. Tabitha and the men that gave me lectures and the stupid immersion bath for me.

At that moment, I berated myself for letting them go like that. When I found out that they were fraudsters, I should have reported them. If I had, Amie might still be here, and Ana would be fine.

I had blamed Aiden for acting on his own, for his wife's involvement but we're all at fault in some way. This whole thing began because of Tabitha's obsession with me and thirst for revenge. Intertwined in it all was Aiden's wife, Sharon, who feared that Ana might take Aiden from her. And then there was Ana... Maybe, just maybe if she had listened to us and allowed one of us to go, this wouldn't have happened. But then if Aiden and I had been on the same page, she wouldn't have felt inclined to take charge. It was all and none of our faults. So I told the police everything I knew about their profession and what they made me go through. Turned out that they didn't even tell the police about that.
