A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 142
KALMIA’S POVThe silence in Jade’s bedroom was deafening after I delivered the news.I could practically see the questions moving behind her eyes. Confusion, disbelief, shock. And then, something else. I faced something I had never seen directed towards me before.Jade stood slowly from her position before moving her nightgown around her ankles and she looked directly at me. Her face was stony. “Kalimia,” she said quietly, her voice both thick and dangerous, “if you aren’t going to return to Arrow… I can’t continue to let you live here.”I blinked at her. “Wh-what are you saying?” I asked dumbly, my throat tight.“You heard me,” Jade said sharply, her eyes flashing. “You’ve been here for weeks. I have supported you in all your endeavors but I cannot continue to give you shelter when you reject your family over prideful reasons.I felt the air leave my lungs. “Jade… how can you say that?”I spluttered, my eyes stinging with tears. “You don’t know what I’ve been through. You have no ide

KALMIA’S POV I remained standing at my studio’s center while holding Arrow’s letter in one hand and my shattered feelings in the other. Aching heart, roaring pride, shattered mind. That’s when Jade walked back in, arms crossed, gaze fierce. No smile this time. She’d had enough of my merry-go-round nonsense. “No, Kalmia,” she stated plainly, words cutting through the silence. “I won’t let you do that to Arrow.” I whipped around to face her. “Excuse me?” I blinked in confusion. “Do what?” “Shut him out. Pretend like none of this matters. Like you don’t still care,” she said, advancing toward me. “You’re mad. I know. You should be. But don’t make him pay for doing what we prayed he’d finally do—change.” Heat swelled in my chest. “Jade, please. You can’t know what this man did to me. “I know I don’t,” she said, much quieter now. I witnessed how his actions affected you. My hands were holding yours while you cried yourself to sleep. Your body twisted inwards which made me think

KALMIA’S POV I forcefully closed my eyes to convince myself that I could alter my decision. But that was the problem, wasn’t it? I was changing my mind. The pain of the past was an old ghost now, but so was the love. So was the man I had loved with my entire being. I swallowed, and opened my eyes. “I don’t know if I can just go back, Arrow,” I said quietly, unsure. “But I’ll try… for us. For our family.” “I’m willing to try…” I had said. But the moment he stepped closer, my entire body clenched. Like I’d been shot. Hit in that same old place. An old, old wound that hadn’t healed, not even close. I looked into his eyes and saw the man I had loved, the man who had been my entire world. But I also saw the man who had cut me open. Smiled down at me as I bled. The man who had humiliated me. Crushed me. And suddenly, I felt like I couldn’t breathe. “No,” I said, stepping back, harshly. My tender tone disappeared and memories rushed back with intense force. “No, I can’t do this. I
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 139
KALMIA’S POV As I entered the shop I immediately noticed the smell of fabric and new sewing. It was so bright, still so open. The energy in here was different, though. I experienced a tingling sensation deep within my brain. A pleasant reminder of what I was here for. What I was doing this for. I had built this, I had created something I was proud of. But the past, that was something that would never leave me. That would always be with me. No matter where I went. No matter how hard I tried. And then I saw him. Arrow. Red and swollen eyes showed his sleepless state while his normally broad shoulders drooped in an unfamiliar manner. He looked broken. The aura of the man that I had fallen in love with was starting to fade, leaving the cracked husk behind. I felt a sudden stomach drop while my heart suffered an unwanted ache. I spent countless nights lying awake as I waited for him to appear. Begging him to come to me. Begging him to say that he was sorry. Begging him to take me

ARROW’S POV The upcoming days passed slowly while I remained in a foggy state. Dawn remained my sole anchor to reality just like it always did. I'd wake up every morning to prepare breakfast and create the appearance of a composed father while internally feeling like I was falling apart. The burden of my actions towards Kalmia became too heavy for me to bear. Each day, it became clearer: without her, my life was incomplete. But that wasn’t the worst part. The devastating realization hit me that my attempts wouldn't make things better. A week had passed since I saw her face and heard her voice yet every text message and phone call to reach her resulted in no response. I couldn’t blame her. But still, it ate at me. My efforts were focused on maintaining smooth business operations. But something was missing. A gap. A hole no one could fill. During Kalmia’s absence I brought in new staff members to take charge of leading the team. The replacements had the experience and motivation nece

ARROW’S POV The next morning came too quickly. When I woke up I found myself in the same desolate bed where silence weighed down on me like an escapeless burden. The dull light filtering through the curtains caught my attention when my eyes opened but this felt irrelevant. I felt no warmth. I missed her. Kalmia. What I had done kept replaying in my head all night long. What I had said. The morning silence helped me understand how big my mistake was. It hit me harder than anything else. I had told her to pack out. I forced her to leave our home and our shared life behind. It felt like everything I touched crumbled into dust. I scrubbed my eyes to try to get rid of the persistent thoughts. The sensation in my chest felt as if I had been repeatedly stomped on. Her face remained vivid in my memory along with the pain that I saw in her eyes after my accusations. My words spewed out like poison yet the regret I felt turned out to be the true toxin. That was the real poison now. I
