A Second Chance For The Billionaire 50: Ravi Bonetti
The afternoon was heavy, the sky taken over by thick clouds that seemed ready to burst at any moment. I had spent the entire day locked in my office, trying to focus on numbers, reports, contracts—anything that could distract me from the avalanche of feelings that had been swallowing me ever since Manu came into my life for good.But it was no use. No matter how much I buried myself in work, her image always came back. The way her gaze wavered between fear and trust. The hesitant touch when she let me get close. The sound of her restrained laugh, as if she had forgotten what it was like to smile.I closed my laptop and took a deep breath. That day called for silence, not meetings. It called for remembrance. I grabbed my coat, my keys, and left the building without telling anyone where I was going.
A Second Chance For The Billionaire 49: Roger Delavega
The bar was packed, the smell of stale beer and fried grease mixing with the hoarse sound of cheap blues. It was the kind of place where no one paid attention to anyone—perfect for what I needed to do. I sat in the darkest corner, facing the door, and ordered a double whiskey. The glass sweated in my hands before I even took the first sip.My contact arrived fifteen minutes later. Chief Marcos Duarte, an investigator long enough to know that there are certain conversations you don't have inside a police station. "Roger," he greeted me, looking around, as if the bar's heavy air could stick a reputation to him. "What the hell do you want with me in a place like this?"I smiled from the corner of my mouth. "I thought you liked discreet environments."

The aroma of baking dough and fresh sauce filled the entire apartment. Rose was especially cheerful that day—perhaps because there was a guest for lunch, perhaps because she noticed that, little by little, I seemed more alive.Ravi had spent the morning handling company matters, but came back early for lunch. The promise was for an important conversation with Daniel, the lawyer. Ever since he'd left the first meeting, something inside me had stirred. For the first time, talking about reporting Roger no longer seemed like a distant dream, but a real possibility.Daniel arrived promptly at noon, with that same calm smile and his leather folder always under his arm."You look beautiful today, Manu," he said, upon seeing me. "Pregnancy suits you."I felt my face flush, laughing softly. "Thank you, Daniel. I feel... a little more energized."Ravi appeared right behind him, greeting his friend with a firm handshake. "Let's have lunch first," he said. "We'll talk about everything after."The

The afternoon breeze came in gently through the balcony, bringing the light scent of the flowers Rose cared for with such affection. The leaves of the plants swayed in a lazy rhythm, and the distant sound of the city was almost a reminder that the world outside kept spinning—even as I seemed to stand still in time.The days of rest had turned into an eternal Sunday. I read, napped, ate what Rose insisted on giving me, and spent a good part of the time thinking too much. Thinking about Ravi. Thinking about the baby. Thinking about everything that still scared me.When the doorbell rang in the morning, I thought it was the doctor, but it was a delivery man with a huge box, wrapped in light blue ribbon. On the label, only: "So that time passes more lightly. — Ravi."I opened the package slowly and found about five books—all about motherhood, humanized childbirth, first care, nutrition, and even a pregnancy journal with space to write down each week.I felt my chest tighten.Ravi could be

I arrived at the building already exhausted, the smell of cigarette smoke and stale coffee clinging to my clothes—the marks of another day at the station. The sun was saying goodbye behind the buildings, painting the sky in a faded orange, and all I wanted was a shower and silence. But when I turned the corner of the hallway, I saw someone who made me stop.Mrs. Lurdes.The old cleaning lady of the building.I hadn't seen her since before Manu disappeared. Always with her floral apron and scarf tied around her head, she swept the hallway and knew about everyone's life. If someone had visitors, if there had been a fight, if the second-floor plumbing had burst—nothing escaped her.And by coincidence or fate, there

The penthouse door closed behind me, muffling the distant sound of the city. Silence greeted me, broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall and the low sound of the television in the living room.I left my jacket on the sofa and loosened my tie, feeling the weight of the day fall from my shoulders. It was late, but the apartment was bathed in a calm twilight, lit only by the yellowish lights coming from the kitchen. That's when I saw her—Manu was sleeping curled up on the sofa, her loose hair spread over the pillow, her face peaceful, almost serene.In the center of the coffee table, the bouquet of flowers I had sent was there. The petals still fresh, the ribbon bow undone, as if it had been opened in a hurry.I sat down beside her, wa
