A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 96: Sophia's Return
The private investigator's report arrived on a Tuesday.Xander read it first, his face growing darker with each page. Ella watched him from across the kitchen table, Clara asleep in her arms, the morning light streaming through the window. She knew something was wrong before he spoke. Could see it in the tension of his shoulders, the set of his jaw."She's out.""Who?""Sophia." He set down the report. "She was released last week. Early parole for good behavior."
A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 95: Paranoia or Reality?
The photograph sat on the kitchen counter like a threat.Ella couldn't stop looking at it. Every time she walked past, her eyes were drawn to the image of her daughter in that incubator, tubes and wires keeping her alive, someone watching from the shadows. The word on the back echoed in her mind. *Soon.* Soon what? Soon they would strike again? Soon they would take what they'd come for? Soon they would destroy everything Ella had fought to build?Xander had called the police within hours of finding the envelope. Two officers had come to the house, taken statements, examined the photograph, asked questions Ella couldn't answer. No, she didn't know who had sent it. No, she hadn't seen anyone suspicious. No, she couldn'
A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 94: Tiny Miracle
The wheelchair felt strange beneath her, but Ella didn't complain.She was out of the ICU. She was awake, alive, and on her way to see her daughter. Nothing else mattered. Xander pushed her through the long corridors, his hands steady on the handles, his presence a quiet comfort at her back. The hospital was bright this time of morning, sunlight streaming through the windows, casting patterns on the floor.The NICU was quieter than she'd expected.Soft lights, soft voices, the gentle hum of machines designed to keep tiny bodies alive. Nurses moved between incubators, checking monitors, adjusting blankets.
A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 93: The Wait
The chair had become an extension of his body.Xander couldn't remember the last time he'd stood up. Hours had blurred into each other, marked only by the changing patterns of light through the window and the quiet shuffling of nurses on their rounds. Ella's hand rested in his, warm now instead of cold, her fingers occasionally twitching in her sleep. The monitors beeped their steady rhythm, proof that she was still fighting.He talked to her. Had been talking for hours, his voice hoarse, his throat raw. He told her about the baby—about Clara's tiny fingers, her shock of dark hair, the way she'd gripped his finger when he'd touched her palm. He told her about the house by the ocean, about the garden her mother
A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 92: The Fight
The operating room doors had closed behind Ella hours ago.Xander had lost count of how many. He stood in the hallway, his back against the cold wall, his hands shoved into his pockets. The fluorescent lights hummed above him, casting everything in a sickly glow. Nurses passed by without looking at him. Doctors came and went with clipboards and grim faces. No one stopped. No one offered news.He was alone.The waiting room was empty at this hour. Families had gone home, visitors had left, the chaos of the emergency room had faded into the quiet rhythm of the night shift. But Xander couldn't sit in those pl
A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 91: Risk
The weeks that followed were the hardest of Ella's life.Not because of the fear—though there was plenty of that, lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce at every quiet moment. But because of the helplessness. The waiting. The not knowing whether her daughter would survive.The doctors had been clear: the pregnancy was high-risk. The baby was small, the placenta wasn't functioning properly, and every day was a battle. There were no guarantees. No promises. Only hope.Ella had been put on bed rest. Complete bed rest, the doctor said. No getting up except for bathroom trips. No stairs. No stress. No life.She hated it.Not the resting—she was tired enough to appreciate that. But the loss of control. The feeling that her body had betrayed her, that she couldn't protect the child growing inside her.Xander had moved his work to the bedroom, setting up a desk by the window, taking calls in whispers so he wouldn't wake her. He'd hire
A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 17: Two Women - 1
Xander came to my apartment that night.Not the penthouse. Not some exclusive restaurant where the waiters knew his name and the lighting was designed to make everyone look like they belonged in a magazine. My apartment. The narrow stairs, the cramped hallway, the door that stuck slightly if you di
A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 16: Old Friends
The restaurant was nothing like the one where he'd taken me.That had been warm, intimate, filled with candlelight and the quiet hum of other diners who existed in the same rarefied world as Xander Black. This place was different. Smaller. Darker. The kind of establishment that didn't advertise, di
A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 15: Shadow of the Past
I must have drifted off again.That was the strange thing about exhaustion—it didn't care about the war raging inside you. It simply pulled you under, regardless of whether your mind was screaming or your heart was breaking. One moment I was lying there, staring at the ceiling of Xander's bedroom,
A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE Chapter 14: Surrender
My answer was to kiss him again.This time, there was nothing tentative about it. No hesitation, no questioning, no walls. Just heat and need and the desperate hunger that had been building between us since the moment we met.Xander groaned against my mouth, pulling me closer, deepening the kiss un
