His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 1058

The next morning.

Thaddeus jolted awake, heart pounding, his skin clammy with cold sweat. For a few moments, he lay motionless, disoriented and breathless, unable to shake the sense of dread that clung to him.

He pushed his well-built frame out from under the covers, reached for his phone on the nightstand, and squinted at the screen.

Over twenty missed calls—all from his grandfather.

Ever since being discharged from the hospital, Thaddeus had suffered from persistent headaches every night, likely some lingering aftereffect. For three or four days now, he hadn’t managed a single full night’s sleep.

In the living room, the Abernathy men were all gathered, the air thick with tension.
