Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334

Audrey’s POV

I closed my eyes.

William Parker wasn’t just Blake’s grandfather to me. He’d shown me more genuine care than my biological and adoptive parents combined.

When I discovered my cancer diagnosis, my greatest regret was knowing I might not see his next birthday. And that celebration had ended in disaster

anyway.

William had even tried to make me the primary beneficiary in his will.

Now he was dying, with one final wish: to see Blake and me together again.

But I’m supposed to be dead. And Blake is marrying Rachel.

‘Audrey? You still there?” Astrid’s voice snapped me back.

I touched my cheek. “Yeah, just… processing.”

“I know William means a lot to you. That’s why I thought you should know.”

I sniffed. “Do you know any more about his condition?”

“Had to pull some strings at Mayo to get even this much,’ she replied. “Best case, he makes it a week.”

‘Worst case? Three or four days.”

Blake and Rachel’s wedding is in three days.

‘Audrey, I know you don’t want to go back to New York or deal with the Parkers again… but I’m wondering if you’re coming back.”

I bit my lip hard enough to taste blood. “I’ll think about it.”

After hanging up, I stared through my office window. Going back would be risky as hell. My encounter with Blake on Long Island had nearly exposed me. It took months for him to stop suspecting who I really was.

And that was just Blake and Rachel. Going back meant facing everyone – Thalia, Rebecca, Elizabeth, maybe even the Sinclairs. The thought made my stomach

twist.

But this was William. The one person who’d loved me unconditionally in that cold, calculating family.

Could I really stay away just because I was scared of Blake figuring out who I was? Because I didn’t want to see people I disliked?

Would I let William die without saying goodbye, all to protect my new identity?

What kind of person would that make me?

That evening at dinner, I told Adrian and his parents about William’s condition.

‘I see, Eleanor said, putting down her fork. “And you want to visit him?”

“Yes,” I admitted. “He means a lot to me.”

“We understand. If you want to go, we won’t stop you.” She exchanged looks with Jeffrey. “But think carefully about what you’re walking into.”

Her eyes showed genuine concern. “They’ll question who you are. They’ll test you. Especially since you’re visiting someone who matters so much to Audrey

Sinclair.”

I nodded, understanding the risk.

“Her identity will come out eventually,” Jeffrey said. “When we rescued you, we actually wanted you to fully become Evelyn. But these past months have shown me that despite your similarities, you and my daughter are different people.”

“If William Parker’s kindness is something you can’t forget, we accept that you need closure. Even if your identity is exposed, we’ll handle it.”

‘But our agreement stands. No matter what happens in New York, Jeffrey and Eleanor are your only parents. Adrian and Emma are your only husband and daughter.
