Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 319

< Divorced: CEO’s Forgotten Wife Strike…

Chapter 319 The Same Thing

Did Riley even care about him at all? If he was in danger, would she protect him too?

And right now, Sebastian didn’t even have the guts to push open that door and ask her. Maybe when she said she didn’t want him anymore, it meant she’d stopped caring about him completely.

Sebastian turned away and left, and Felix quickly followed.

The next evening, Riley arrived back in Washington.

When Lara saw her best friend lying weak and pale in that hospital bed, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

“You were gone for, what, a few days? And you come back looking like this? You said you’d be careful!

“Do you have any idea how scared I was when I couldn’t reach you? When I finally got through to Vince, and he told me you’d been shot, I thought—I thought I’d never see you again!”

“I’m sorry. Things got crazy really fast,” Riley said. “Besides, this isn’t that bad for me.”

After all, back when she’d been in the special forces, she’d been through way worse.

“What do you mean it’s nothing? Does it only count if you’re on your death’s door?” Lara said irritably.

Shawn, who’d come with Lara, pulled Vince aside. “You’re absolutely sure Samuel and Zane are the same person?”

“The DNA report proves it. Riley and Zane are biological siblings,” Vince said. “I still need to head over to military headquarters and file a report about this.”

“So if Samuel is Zane, then what’s the Lincoln family’s angle here? Why would Benedict claim Samuel as his illegitimate son?” Shawn asked.

“Not sure, but Samuel’s got amnesia. He refused DNA testing at first,” Vince said. “I’m planning to go back to Russia with Riley to see Zane again.”

“The Lincolns in Russia might be an American family, but they’re bad news, especially Benedict,” Shawn warned. “Benedict’s never been married, never shown interest in women either.

“Three years ago, he suddenly announced Zane was his illegitimate son, and there’s been no other kids since. Plus he’s ruthless. There’s no way he doesn’t know Zane isn’t actually his.”

“So you think the Lincoln family’s got some kind of scheme going?” Vince said.

“Either way, we need to watch our backs with them,” Shawn

said.

Vince nodded.

“And another thing, you took off to Germany with Riley without warning. Do you have any idea how worried your parents were?” Shawn added.

“I know, but I wanted to take this shot. I couldn’t miss my chance again.” Three years ago, he’d already lived with that regret, regret that he hadn’t told her how he felt sooner.

He wasn’t going to regret it again.

“And what about her?” Shawn asked.

“Even if she only sees me as a little brother right now, that’s fine. I’ll stay by her side,” Vince said.

“What if Sebastian won’t let her go?” Shawn said with concern. He had his own sources, and he knew Sebastian had also gone to Germany for Riley.

“Most people might be afraid of the Torres family, but I’m not. As long as she doesn’t choose Sebastian, if he tries to force her

into anything, I’ll fight him and the Torres family with everything I’ve got,” Vince said fiercely.

Shawn’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You really care about her that much?”

Vince looked down. “Yeah. She’s the only one I care about. When I first met her, I gave her attitude and picked fights with her constantly.

“But later, when I fell for her, I finally understood. Maybe from that very first time I saw her piloting that fighter jet, soaring through the sky, I was already scared I’d lose control and fall for her.”

The image of her landing that plane, stepping out of the cockpit in her military uniform–he could still see it like it was yesterday.

He’d been scared. Scared he’d fall for her at first sight.

But in the end, it hadn’t mattered.

The more time he spent with her, the harder he fell.

When she’d carried him through the snow to find a doctor while he had a high fever—that was when he finally stopped fighting it and admitted he loved Riley.

“You-” Shawn looked genuinely surprised that Vince had fallen for Riley so early on.

“But don’t worry—even if I end up going head–to–head with Sebastian and the Torres family, I won’t drag our families into it,” Vince said.

Shawn huffed, “What kind of talk is that? The Morris family, at least–we don’t go looking for trouble, but we sure as hell don’t run from it either.”

Vince smiled, understanding that Shawn’s words meant he had his support.

“By the way, didn’t Sebastian charter a plane to bring Riley back? Where is he anyway?” Shawn asked.

“He left right after dropping Riley off at the hospital,” Vince said. Though he had to admit, that part seemed a little odd to him too.

After Lara and Shawn left, Riley turned to Vince. “You should head home too. You came with me to Germany, and then stayed at the hospital for two days straight. Now that we’re back, you should go see your parents and get some real rest.”

“It’s fine. I already video–called my parents and told them I’d be staying here at the hospital to look after you,” Vince said.

“But-”

“Remember when I had that fever back at the base? You stayed by my side and took care of me until it broke,” Vince said. “I’m just doing the same thing you did for me.”
