XAVIER'S POV

The night felt endless.

I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling like it might suddenly give me answers. The ticking of the clock on my nightstand was louder than usual, taunting me with each second that passed. I turned on my side, then to the other, pulling the blanket tighter around me, but it was useless. My thoughts were like a broken record, looping the same questions over and over again.

Why did Melissa hire a private investigator?

What did she know?

And more importantly—what did I not know?

The memory of her face when she stormed out of my apartment weeks back still replayed in my head. Her anger wasn’t the ordinary kind, the type you could smooth over with a few carefully chosen words. No, this was different. It was sharp, fueled by betrayal, as though she had seen something she was never supposed to see.

And then there was Marco. I didn’t know if I could trust him anymore. He sounds panicked, but that panic—was it guilt or fear? Does he know something? Was he afr

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    BUT SHE WAS WRONG.

    LOUIS’ POV Months had passed, yet it still felt like she had just slipped through my fingers—leaving behind a silence that refused to fade.Four long months, and in all that time, the only whispers I got about her came from the stalker I paid to shadow her life like a ghost. This morning, his latest update nearly knocked the wind out of me.“Boss, she’s in London… and she’s pregnant.”Pregnant.I repeated that word in my head a dozen times. Pregnant. My Melissa is carrying another man’s child. I don’t know why it stung. It's been a few years, though—I just wanted revenge, to teach her a lesson. She had moved on while I was still here thinking, replaying, reliving the moment she walked away from me.felt like a blade twisting in my chest. I clenched my fists until my knuckles cracked.At first, I told myself to let it slide. She’d made her choice, after all. But then the thought wouldn’t leave me alone: Melissa, smiling, happy, glowing with pregnancy—while I was left behind, forgotte

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    MAYBE I'LL LET HIM

    MELISSA'S POV I can’t keep doing this. Of the truth, I love Xavier, but I don’t know if my heart can keep carrying the weight of this back-and-forth. He shows up, begs, buys gifts, makes promises, and for a moment I feel weak, but then the memories rush back like a storm. The rejection, the harsh words, the way he made me feel like nothing when all I ever wanted was to be enough for him.But today… Today felt different.When I closed the door behind him, a bouquet in my hand and bags of baby items piled in my living room, I pressed my back against the door and slid down to the floor. My heart was still racing, my hands trembling, but not out of anger—at least not entirely. It was something else. I rested my hand against my belly, the gentle swell that had become the center of my universe. My baby shifted faintly inside me, and for a second I imagined Xavier’s face when he first saw me at the door. He didn’t look like the arrogant man who felt I betrayed him before. No, his eyes

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    NOT ON OUR CHILD

    XAVIER'S POV The drive to Melissa’s apartment stretched endlessly, each passing second dragging like an anchor on my nerves. My chest clenched with unease, palms slick with sweat, and my thoughts ran wild. Every jolt of the car sent a fresh wave of tension through me, tightening the knot in my gut.The driver glanced at me through the mirror. He must have noticed how stiff I looked, sitting forward on the seat as though bracing for impact. I held onto the bouquet of white roses I had gotten from a roadside florist shop while we were coming , their soft petals trembling slightly in my grip. On the seat beside me, bags upon bags of baby items filled the space—onesies, bottles, diapers, blankets. Everything a new baby could possibly need. I had bought it all.When the taxi pulled up in front of her building, I froze. My throat closed, my heart thudded violently. This is it, Xavier. No turning back now.The driver got out first, opening the trunk and lifting the bags with practiced ea

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    BUT NO MORE

    XAVIER'S POV The city outside my hotel window was restless, alive with horns, streetlights and vehicles revving in the late night traffic. London never really slept, but tonight it felt like the whole world was wide awake with me. I sat on the edge of the bed, shoes still on, tie loosened, staring at the floor like it held answers I desperately needed.Melissa’s voice still echoed in my ears, sharp and trembling with fury, shutting me out. Her door slamming had been final—like a gavel, sentencing me to my own torment. But that wasn’t what ripped me open the most. It was her belly. The undeniable curve beneath her clothes. A child.Every breath I drew came with the same stabbing thought: She’s pregnant.I stood up, paced to the window, then back to the bed. My fists kept clenching and unclenching at my sides. “Think, Xavier. Think,” I muttered under my breath. My mind jumped to the worst possibilities first—what if it wasn’t mine? What if, while I was too proud and blind, someone el

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    PREGNANT?

    XAVIER’S POVWhat just happened?I stood outside Melissa’s apartment, staring at the closed door like a fool who had just been thrown out of his own home. My palms felt clammy, my throat burned, and I couldn’t seem to catch my breath. A thousand thoughts crashed in my head, colliding against each other until it became impossible to string one into sense.I had been searching for her for months—months of restless nights, endless guilt, and dead ends. Every city felt like a maze where she was hiding just out of reach. And then today, I finally found her. The relief that flooded my chest when she opened that door—it was like I had finally come up for air after drowning.But within seconds, she slammed that same door in my face.Exactly the way I did to her months ago.I leaned back against the wall, sliding a hand through my damp hair, my chest tightening with a sharp ache. I knew I deserved her anger. I had half-expected her to push me away. But not like this—not with that level of veno

  • BORROWED LOVE ON ICE    HOW?

    MELISSA’S POV Oh my gosh, hot tears streamed down my cheeks—the past I thought I had buried for four months now came crashing back with full force. How could he possibly find me? How?I sat on the edge of my couch, my fingers twisting the hem of my dress, my heart still racing hours after I had slammed the door in his face. My chest ached, my palms were clammy, and no matter how hard I tried to breathe, it felt like my lungs were filled with smoke.Xavier.The one person I had spent months trying to erase from my life. The one person I swore I would never see again. The one who broke me so completely that sometimes I doubted if I would ever recover.And now he had found me.I pressed both palms to my face and groaned. “How, Xavier? How the hell did you find me?”I had been careful. I left no trail. I changed my number, deleted every account, even moved cities for crying out loud and yet, somehow, he still showed up at my doorstep, stammering apologies like they could fix the wreckag
