Three days.

Seventy-two hours of silence stretching between us like an ocean I didn't know how to cross. Seventy-two hours of staring at my phone, willing it to ring, to buzz, to give me any sign that he was thinking about me, that he regretted what he'd said, that he was fighting his way back to me the way I'd fought my way to him. Seventy-two hours of jumping at every notification, my heart lurching into my throat, only to find it was Sophie or the hospital or another spam call about my car's

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE   Chapter 85: Suspicion of Murder

    The folder sat on the kitchen table like an unexploded bomb.Ella had been staring at it for hours, unable to look away, unable to touch it. The documents inside contained the truth about her father's death—not the version she'd accepted, not the story the doctors had told, but the real truth. Someone had killed him. Someone had taken his life, and she was going to find out who.Xander had made coffee, then let it go cold. He'd paced the kitchen, then sat beside her, then stood again. Now he was at the window, watching the ocean, giving her space to process.She appreciated that. She also wished he would hold her."I need to read it again.""Ella—""I need to understand."She pulled the folder toward her and opened it. The first page was a summary, the detective's notes typed in neat rows. *Toxicology report indicates presence of a chemical agent consistent with induced cardiac arrest. No signs of forced entry. No signs of

    The moving boxes had been unpacked for weeks, but the house still didn't feel like home.Not because it wasn't beautiful. It was. A small cottage on the California coast, white walls and blue shutters, a garden that bloomed with flowers Ella couldn't name. The ocean was visible from the kitchen window, the waves crashing against the rocks, the seagulls crying overhead.Xander had found it during one of his late-night searches, scrolling through listings while Ella slept. He'd woken her with his phone in her face, the pictures glowing in the darkness."Look.""What am I looking at?""Our future."She'd smiled then, half-asleep, not really believing it. But now, standing in the kitchen with the morning light streaming through the windows, she believed.---The move had been easier than expected.Liam had agreed to take over the foundation, stepping into the role Xander was leaving behind. There had been paperwork, legal me

    The waiting room was the same.Same plastic chairs, same fluorescent lights, same antiseptic smell that clung to everything. Ella had lost count of how many hours she'd spent in places like this, waiting for news, waiting for hope, waiting for someone she loved to survive. She'd thought she was done with hospitals. Thought she'd put that part of her life behind her.But here she was again. Sitting. Waiting. Praying.Sophia sat across from her, her hands cuffed to a police officer who'd been posted at the door. She'd asked to stay, and Ella hadn't had the energy to refuse. Maybe she didn't want to refuse. Maybe having her sister here, even under these circumstances, was better than being alone."He's going to be okay," Sophia said."You said that already.""I'll keep saying it until you believe me."Ella looked at her. The harsh light of the waiting room made Sophia look older, the shadows under her eyes deeper, the lines around her mo

    The knife clattered against the floor, the sound echoing off the concrete walls.Sophia was on her knees, her hands covering her face, her body shaking with sobs. Ella held her, her own tears falling, her heart aching for the sister she'd only just found. The years of anger and pain were spilling out, washing over both of them, leaving nothing but exhaustion in their wake.Clara's head lifted. Her eyes fluttered open, unfocused at first, then sharpening as she took in the scene. Her daughter. Her other daughter. Together."Sophia." Her voice was weak, barely a whisper. "Sophia."Sophia looked up. Her face was wet, her eyes red, her expression raw."Mom.""I'm sorry." Clara's voice cracked. "I'm so sorry.""You left me.""I know.""You didn't come back.""I couldn't.""Why?"Clara's eyes filled with tears. "Because I was a coward. Because I was afraid. Because I thought you were better off without me.

    The warehouse felt smaller now that Isabella was gone.The shadows seemed less threatening, the silence less heavy. But the tension remained, coiled in the space between Ella and Sophia like a wire pulled too tight. One wrong move, one wrong word, and everything would snap.Clara was still unconscious in the chair, her head still hanging forward, her breathing still shallow. Ella wanted to go to her, wanted to untie the ropes and hold her mother and never let go. But Sophia stood between them, her body a barrier, her eyes unreadable."You said you wanted to talk," Ella said. "So talk."Sophia was quiet for a moment. Her gaze moved from Ella to Clara and back again, lingering on her mother's face."I used to dream about her," Sophia said. Her voice was soft, distant, like she was talking to herself. "When I was little. I'd imagine she was coming back. That she'd walk through the door and take me away from him.""Sophia—""But she

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE   Chapter 80: Sister Fight

    The warehouse looked abandoned from the outside.Weeds pushed through cracks in the pavement, windows were boarded up, and the walls were covered in graffiti that had faded over years of exposure. But the door was new—steel, reinforced, with a keypad that glowed red in the darkness. Someone had spent money on this place recently.Xander parked the car a block away, killing the engine and the lights. They sat in silence for a moment, the only sound their breathing and the distant hum of the city."We should wait," he said."We've been waiting.""A few more minutes won't hurt."Ella looked at him. In the dim light, his face was all hard angles and shadows, his jaw tight, his eyes fixed on the warehouse. He was scared. She could see it. But he was here, and he wasn't leaving."I love you," she said."I know.""Whatever happens in there—""Nothing's going to happen." He took her hand. "We're going in, we'r
