I didn’t expect the house to miss my presence.

Not after the rumors. Not after Shawn’s public denial. But they did.

I knew it the moment I stepped out of the mansion. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t dramatic. It was the kind of absence that would disrupt silence.

I left just my resignation letter, gifts and items given to me, and a folded note.

“Tell Diane I’m sorry I couldn’t say goodbye. And thank you.”

That was it. No speech. No door slam. Just quiet footsteps down the long driveway.

I didn’t even take the black dress he liked or the scarf Diane had picked out for me in Thailand. I left those things behind because they didn’t belong to the vesion of me who wanted to server all ties with the Wolfe's.

By the next morning, my name was mentioned in silent whispers.

“She's always on time for breakfast,” Mateo muttered as he diced onions alone.

One of the housekeepers peeked into the guest quarters and found it completely empty . Dana found my resignation.I was totally devastated.

  • Becoming Mom To The Billionaire Daughter.   Chapter 68: Titans With The Truth

    “Why was this meeting scheduled today, and was it that necessary that it required a third wheel?” Shawn asked sarcastically, setting his mug under the coffee machine for a refill. Darlington watched closely, noticing how Shawn preferred his coffee pitch-black—no cream, no sugar. And the way he drank it without a sound made him visibly uneasy. But to me? Both his preference for black coffee and his silent slurping were nothing new. Shawn Wolfe, the thirty-two-year-old billionaire and single dad, who had four multi-billion-dollar companies under his name and diverse brand partnerships—from tech to fashion—only had one powerhouse: dark coffee. It was his fuel. And with the way he lived and worked, it had to be. “Well, Mr. Sha—” Darlington began, trying to remain civil. But Shawn decided to go down the uncouth lane by spitting out a mouthful of coffee before Darlington could finish his sentence. Not only did Shawn give a gesture of disrespect, he also made a statement: “Sorr

    The plan was to meet Shawn at his office — to discuss the issue of Diane's schooling and the DNA results. But neither of them were at home in the morning, because since Diane was found, both Shawn and Darlington had gone back to their high-powered lives — filled with executive meetings, event appearances, and business tours. From the outside, it looked like everything had resumed as normal. But nothing about our lives was normal anymore. Darlington had already left early for work, but not without making arrangements. A private driver — one of his most trusted — pulled up in a sleek black car at exactly 9:30 a.m. He made sure I wouldn’t have to lift a finger, except to tap the window if I needed air. Diane was still asleep when I kissed her forehead and whispered goodbye. I couldn’t take her with me. Not today. And definitely not where I was going. So she stayed behind — safe, at least for now — with the new housekeeper Shawn had personally hired. After a dozen interviews, securi

    "Why wouldn't people want to become friends with you? I mean, look at you—you're funny, you're smart, and you're kind. That's the formula to eternal friendship," I said, brushing her hair back, before I muttered, "And also, if they had sense and style, they'd notice you're the elite Shawn Wolfe's daughter." "You're right! Everyone always falls in love with my personality—you did, so did Uncle Darlington. So I'm sure they will too! All we need now is Daddy's permission so I can finally go to school again. And I'm sure he'll listen to you, since you're my mum and he is my dad." I'm still not sure how I'll get to explain to Diane that I may be her real mom... but Shawn might not be her real dad. And how on earth do I break the news that I'm getting married to Darlington soon? "Mom, what are you thinking about?" Diane asked, tapping me back to reality. "It's nothing. Just get ready and meet me in the kitchen so you can have your breakfast." "Okay, I will. See you in two hours," Dia

    I reached for the light switch, hoping to turn on the power— but a strong grip caught my wrist. And just as I lit up the room, there he was. Shawn. Already an inch from my face. I froze thinking he was drunk. But the wetness on his skin... and the sharpness in his eyes told another story. “Hey—let go of me,” I said, slipping out from under his arm. But before I could grab the door handle, he yanked my wrist again—hard—pulling me against his chest. “Why can’t you understand?” he growled. “I’m in love with you. Why can’t you see—every time I see you with him, my blood boils.” His hand tangled in my hair, gripping it too rough. Too desperate. “No, Shawn!!,” I snapped. “Why can’t you understand? That the "him" is the only reason I’m still alive. When you left me behind to protect your reputation, he walked away from a billion-dollar empire—just to stand beside me.” Shawn still didn't flinch. “So it’s still about that old story of deserting you?” he said bit

    DING-DONG. The doorbell rang just as I stepped out of the shower. My hair was still damp. My skin still wet. From the way the person rang the bell, it either meant we were being invaded—or the delivery driver came back for her tip. So I tiptoed toward the door, wrapped in a towel, and peeked through the peephole. “Hello!! Who’s there?” I asked. “It’s us, c’mon! Open the door—quickly!” a voice shouted back. And that wasn’t just any voice. It was Shawn and Darlington. Together. I froze. Because I was only in a towel. If it were just Darlington, I might’ve risked it—but Shawn? Standing right beside him? Oh, heck no. I was just about to tiptoe away and pretend I didn’t hear a thing... When they both shouted for help. “Open up! We need help!” And just like that—against all dignity and shame—I yanked the door open. As I yanked the door open there they were. Darlington, wide-eyed, holding a giant duffel bag like he was running from a crime scene. Shawn, in an unbuttoned d

    The next morning wasn’t what I expected. Not at all. Especially not when I had once been Diane’s nanny—back in the days when she would cling to me like we were conjoined. But this morning? I woke up on the sofa, the blanket was still wrapped around me, but... she wasn’t there. My heart skipped. I sat up instantly, blinking at the empty space beside me. The pillow we’d thrown across the room was neatly placed back. The blanket tucked at the corners. But Diane? Gone. “Diane?” I called, standing quickly. All I received was an echo of silence. No giggles. No footsteps. No sound. I checked the living room. Empty. The garden. Still nothing. Her room. No sign. By now, panic had started to crawl up my spine like cold fingers. My hands reached for my phone to call Shawn. The worst thoughts were already clawing at my brain. But something stopped me. The living room… It didn’t look like how we left it last night. The popcorn crumbs? They were gone. T
