Chapter 378

Me, CEU

Audrey’s POV

The doctor’s words kept replaying in my head.

I stared at nothing, piecing it together. A month ago after Long Island, Blake had cut all contact, handing our work to Ella Murphy. We hadn’t spoken until yesterday at the airport.

Yet somehow, he’d anticipated my needs before I even knew them myself.

My trainers in Sydney had tried to warn me:

“Someone’s following you. I’ve tested them they’re skilled, not dangerous.”

‘Asked your husband if they were his. He said no. Your parents maybe? Or a secret admirer?”

‘Definitely professionals hired to watch you…”

I’d laughed it off as paranoia. In this month, I never spotted anyone.

Those people were Blake’s.

It made sense now. He’d publicly ended contact while secretly arranging protection. His “chance” appearance at the airport. Taking me to William. Charles recognizing me immediately.

My disguise wasn’t the problem. His was.

Blake sat across from me in his wheelchair. The confident CEO I remembered looked worn down, diminished. Silence stretched between us until he finally broke it.

‘Sorry,’ he said. “I didn’t hide it well.”

“I just wanted to protect you, make things right, help you.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Protect me by having people follow me? That’s protection to you?”

“And making amends by pretending not to know me while monitoring my every move?’ I leaned forward. “Just like before – watching without my consent.”

As for helping me

did it occur to you I don’t need your help?”

“Without you, I’d still have handled the Sinclairs today. Adrian and I would have found another way.”

I took a breath, keeping my voice steady. “When I was your wife, every time your mother or sister humiliated me, I wanted you to step in. Just once.”

“But you never did.”

“Now I have a new life with new people. I don’t need your help.”

I shook my head. “Don’t
