It had been weeks since I'd been waiting to hear those words. When the doctor looked at me with a discreet smile and said, "you can start resuming your activities, but take it easy," I felt a weight lift from my chest. It was as if the air could finally flow through me again—light, free, full of possibilities.

In the last few days, the penthouse had become a cocoon. Safe, yes, but also suffocating. Between the sofa, the bed, and the balcony, I knew by heart the sound of the clock and the exact

  • A Second Chance For The Billionaire   60: Roger Delavega

    The shift at the police station had ended, but the real work only began when the cold lights of the precinct went out. It's in the shadows that you find what justice never reaches—and that day, I was determined to reach Manoela.I drove to London's upscale neighborhood, the same address I had already memorized, thanks to the report I got from my contact. The name Ravi Bonetti still pulsed in my head like a personal offense. A man of means, influence, power. And now, my wife's new "hero."I parked the car across the street, in a discreet spot from where I could observe the penthouse gate. The security was absurd—cameras, guards, luxury cars coming and going. It was the kind of place where not even the wind entered without being announced.

    London's shy sun filtered through the clouds, and I took a deep breath, trying to remember what the air outside the penthouse felt like. It felt like ages since I'd last left home—long enough that every step today felt like a small victory.Rose, always attentive, was by my side, while Carlos, the security guard assigned by Ravi, walked a few steps ahead. He was tall, imposing, and had the kind of gaze that seemed to spot dangers even in the calmest shadows."Excited?" Rose asked, as we entered the furniture store.I smiled softly, touching my belly, which was beginning to grow rounder. "I think so. It's been a while since I've done something like this... normal."She laughed softly

  • A Second Chance For The Billionaire   58: Ravi Bonetti

    The constant sound of rain against the panoramic windows of my office helped me stay focused—or at least, I tried to believe that. London always looked gray, even when the sun made an effort to break through the clouds. The morning had already started off tense, with meetings about international contracts and discussions about cybersecurity licenses, but nothing—absolutely nothing—made me more restless than the matter that had been hanging in the air since Roger resurfaced.I reviewed the latest contract for the expansion of the Dubai branch and signed it mechanically, my mind already elsewhere. Ever since the suspicious call came to the company, asking for information about Manu, my instincts wouldn't let me rest. I could feel the danger approaching—slow, disguised, but real.A knock on

  • A Second Chance For The Billionaire   57: Roger Delavega

    The constant sound of keyboards and phones at the police station was almost comforting. Almost. Because that day, every noise seemed to pierce through my patience like a blade. The routine of investigations, the piles of reports, the reheated coffee… none of that mattered. All I could think about was Manu.She had disappeared from my life like a ghost. And the more time passed, the more that absence gnawed at me from the inside. But today, I was closer than ever to finding her.I leaned over my desk, adjusting my badge in my shirt pocket and opening the police internal system. The information I was about to search for had nothing to do with the case officially on my desk—a drug trafficking investigation in Camden Town. It was just the perfect excuse.I typed his name: Ravi Bonetti.The cursor blinked on the screen for long seconds, until a sequence of records appeared. I held my breath. It was him. The same name the idiot private investigator had given me a few days ago. The same man

It was as if the air could finally flow through me again—light, free, full of possibilities.In the last few days, the penthouse had become a cocoon. Safe, yes, but also suffocating. Between the sofa, the bed, and the balcony, I knew by heart the sound of the clock and the exact path the sunlight made as it crossed the living room. Even the pregnancy books, which Ravi had bought so carefully, seemed to look back at me with pity. I needed to get out. I needed to feel the city again.The next morning, Rose appeared in my room with a sparkle in her eye. "So… are we going shopping, Manu?" she asked, as if announcing an adventure. "Ravi asked me to take you to a few stores."I smiled, sitting up in bed."Only if you come with me.""Of course I will." She winked. "Ravi has ev

  • A Second Chance For The Billionaire   55: Ravi Bonetti

    The sun was already beginning to set when I left the company building, my phone still warm in my palm. The call from that man echoed in my head, every word laced with an arrogance that deeply irritated me. A supposed police officer asking for information about Manu… but with no valid ID, no badge number, not even mentioning an official investigation. It was obvious something was wrong—and I already knew exactly who was behind it. Roger.I drove straight to the building where I live, without even stopping at home first. I called the head of the security team, asking for an immediate meeting. When I arrived at the front desk, three of my best men were already waiting for me, dressed in black, alert and at attention. I greeted them with a brief nod and stepped into the service elevator, carrying with me the growing feeling that I was on an invisible countdown&mdas
