2026-07-22 20:02:56The smell of fresh coffee mixed with freshly baked bread always brought me a strange feeling. Part comfort, part nausea. Maybe because lately, almost everything in my life had that same contrast.
The morning at the café was busy. It was Monday, and as always, customers rushed in, ordering their coffees to go and pastries wrapped in a hurry. The doorbell rang nonstop, accompani

A Second Chance For The Billionaire 34: Roger Delavega
Three days.Three damn days since she disappeared without a trace.I walk into the house and the silence swallows me. The wall clock marks every second like a hammer striking my head. The sofa still has the mark from the last time she sat there, the cushion sunken in, and I catch myself staring at it like an idiot, trying to understand how Manu had the courage. The courage to leave, to disappear... to break the sacred pact we made before God.I take a deep breath and walk through the living room, my footsteps echoing in the emptiness. Her scent is still soaked into the walls, into the bedsheet that now feels too cold. I open the wardrobe just to see if my suspicions are real: some clothes are missing, but not all. Clever. She took just enough for me
A Second Chance For The Billionaire 33: Ravi Bonetti
The apartment was silent when I walked in. The key turned in the lock with its usual metallic sound, but my heart was beating faster than normal. I carried the bouquet carefully, as if it were something sacred. And in a way, it was.I walked through the living room with soft steps, and that's when I saw her.Manu was lying on the sofa, the television on some random program, but the low sound didn't hide the calm rhythm of her breathing. She was sleeping deeply, as if her body had finally found shelter. Her legs were bent, covered by a light blanket that Rose had certainly placed there. Her hair fell in waves across her face and shoulders, spreading over the upholstery.I stopped.I felt a

I sat in the conference room before everyone arrived. The long dark wood table reflected the cold light from the ceiling fixtures. My coffee cup was cooling next to my open laptop, but I hadn't taken a single sip. The watch on my wrist showed a few minutes until the meeting started, but my body wasn't there. My mind remained in the apartment, in the image of Manu asleep against my chest, the scent of her hair soaked into my shirt, her small hand resting on mine when I placed it on her belly.I shook my head, trying to compose myself. I needed focus, needed to be the CEO my employees knew, not the man who, for the first time in years, had slept deeply because there was someone in his arms."You look terrible, Ravi." The amused voice pulled me out of my trance. I looked up and saw André walking in. He, my b

I woke up to the smell of fresh bread before I even opened my eyes. My body still felt heavy, as if the bed had invisible hands holding me there, keeping me from getting up. It took me a few seconds to realize it wasn't a dream. When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Ravi standing in front of the bed, balancing a huge tray in his hands, with a discreet smile on his lips."Good morning," he said, and his deep voice sounded so close it pulled a hoarse, sleepy laugh from me.I sat up slowly, adjusting the pillow behind my back. The tray rested on my legs, and my eyes widened. There was coffee, orange juice, cold cuts, fruits cut into perfect pieces, still-warm breads, pastries, jam... There was so much food it looked like a movie set."Did you make all of

I woke up with a strange feeling. For the first time in months, perhaps years, my body didn't feel heavy with fear, but just heavy with sleep. The mattress was so soft it seemed to hug me, and the warmth around me didn't come only from the covers.It took me a few seconds to understand what was happening.Ravi's arms were firm around me, like a chain that didn't trap me but protected me. I was nestled against his chest, his strong, steady heart beating against my back.I smiled slightly, without meaning to. It felt wrong, dangerous, but at the same time... so good.Except my bladder didn't share that comfort.I sighed softly a

The phone was pressed to my ear, Carmen's voice echoing in my head like an uncomfortable reminder of a world that, for now, I no longer felt belonged to me."Mr. Ravi, tomorrow at nine you have a meeting with the investment board in Milan... at eleven, a video conference with the lawyers in Vienna..." She paused, the rustling of pages being turned reaching me. "At two in the afternoon, an in-person meeting with the directors from Zurich."I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath. The cold leather of the wood-paneled wall supported my hand. I had always been that man: the one who kept order, who never wavered, who faced three, four, five meetings a day without even thinking of backing down. But now... now every commitment sounded like an obstacle between me and the room at the end of the hall.
