Hudson’s voice was a low, heavy rasp as he stepped closer, his dark eyes locking onto hers, his arrogant head finally bowed.

“You won every single hand. You played it perfectly, and I lost everything.”

Jade blinked, stunned by the admission of defeat.

In the silence, Hudson spoke again.

“I’ve paid the price. The barriers and the lies between us are finally gone. You said you’d give me a chance, so…”

Suddenly, he lunged forward, catching Jade in a crushing, desperate hug.

“Welcome home, Mrs. Walter.”

The woman in his arms went still.

No words. No struggle.

She felt like cold, stagnant water.

Hudson instinctively tightened his grip.

But even with her in his arms, he felt like he was holding onto hollow air.

He looked down into Jade’s dead, amber eyes. There wasn’t a single spark of emotion left.

The fire in his veins turned to ice, a sudden wave of panic washing over him.

Hudson pulled back, his hands resting on her shoulders as he searched her pale face.

She looked like porcelain-beautiful, but frozen and unreachable.

“Jade.” His voice dropped to a whisper, as if afraid of what he’d hear.

“Talk to me.”

Jade looked at him with genuine confusion. “Why are you so sure I’m ever coming back?”

Hudson watched her walk to the curb where Julian was waiting to open her car door. The SUV sped off.

His heart felt like it was being squeezed by an iron fist, an agonizing, dull ache.

He wanted to chase the car and drag her back.

But he forced himself to stay still.

He couldn’t be reckless now.

Slow and steady.

She needed time to process the victory. He would give her that much.

–

Grandview Estate.

Hudson walked through the door and immediately spotted Emily sitting on the sofa.

A look of surprise crossed his face as he walked over and sat across from her.

“Mom, what are you doing here?”

Emily nodded her chin toward the backyard.

“How are you going to handle this?”
