The morning sun was soft and golden, brushing over the driveway as Shawn’s car rolled to a stop in front of Diane’s school. The gatekeeper’s whistle shrilled somewhere in the background, mixing with the chatter of students in neat uniforms.

Diane’s little pink backpack looked almost too big for her tiny shoulders, and her hair was neatly plaited into two bouncy braids that swayed with every excited move she made. She kicked her feet as the car slowed, humming under her breath.

“Alright, my little spelling bee champion,” I said, turning in my seat to face her. “You ready to win?”

Diane grinned—one tooth missing, her dimples deep. “Of course! I practiced so many words last night.”

Shawn chuckled from the driver’s seat, tapping the steering wheel. “That’s my girl. But don’t use up all your smartness today—you’ve still got a whole week of it left.”

I laughed softly, opening the door and stepping down. The morning air was fresh, the kind that promised a good day. I smoothed

  • Becoming Mom To The Billionaire Daughter.   Chapter 110: THE FINALE;We Did It

    FIVE YEARS LATER — RENNIE’S KITCHEN The clatter of pots, sizzling pans, and the rhythmic chopping of knives filled every corner of my restaurant, Rennie’s Kitchen. Heat from the ovens wrapped around me like a familiar blanket, and the scent of roasted meats, fresh herbs, and baked bread filled my nostrils, making my pulse quicken. I darted from station to station, clipboard in hand, shouting orders with precision and authority, my voice ensuring perfection. “Use that serving tray, yes—the rose gold! Make sure it contains fifty packets of our mashed potatoes, ham balls, and the extra herbs we promised the clients!” I spun to check the sizzling pies coming out of the oven, my eyes scanning every detail. A line of cooks stumbled slightly under the weight of a tray, and I clapped my hands sharply. “Careful! This is not amateur hour! Eyes open, everyone! Timing is everything!” I moved to the pasta station next, hands flying as I checked sauces, colors, and textures. My hair was pull

  • Becoming Mom To The Billionaire Daughter.   Chapter 109: Back To School

    Morning sunlight streamed through the soft cream curtains, pouring into the bedroom in warm, lazy ribbons that danced across my skin. I blinked awake slowly, my mind drifting between sleep and reality, savoring the brief quiet moment—until I heard a deep, steady exhale from somewhere below the mattress.I pushed myself up on my elbows, confused, and then I saw him.Shawn was on the floor, directly in front of the bed, his palms pressed firmly into the carpet as he pushed his entire weight up and down with slow, painful precision. Sweat clung to his back in a faint sheen, catching the morning light like liquid glass. Even after everything that had happened, even after the injuries, he moved with the same stubborn strength he always carried—like pain respected him too much to stop him.I rubbed both eyes and frowned. “Shawn… why in the world didn’t you wake me up?”He didn’t lift his head. “Because if you knew the noise you were making while sleeping and snoring,” he said, voice low and

    The jet touched down with a smooth glide, the soft bump of the wheels finally bringing the world back beneath us. I blinked awake against Shawn’s chest, his arm tightening instinctively around my waist as if he already sensed we’d landed. “We’re home,” Shawn murmured, voice low and warm. Dana stepped forward. “Rennie, we’re cleared to disembark. Sam already called—he’s waiting at the gate.” Shawn nodded, helping me up gently. My legs felt wobbly but steady in his hold. We went to the main lounge and found Diane watching cartoons on Dana's tab. What I found odd was Dana’s tone; she had been angry before, but now she was smiling and happy, visibly relaxed as she gave Diane the tab, which Shawn himself wasn’t allowed to touch. “Come on, princess, let's go,” Dana said softly to Diane. Diane clutched Dana’s shoulder as we all went down the stairs. The tarmac breeze hit my face as the jet door opened, carrying the faint scent of the city I had missed so dearly. Los Angeles. I

  • Becoming Mom To The Billionaire Daughter.   Chapter 107: I Give The Hickey's

    RENNIE’S POV — MORNING The mid-morning sunlight spilled gently through the hospital blinds, soft and pale, warming the cold room just enough to remind me the nightmare was finally over. Shawn was already awake, leaning carefully against the pillows, his freshly bandaged chest rising and falling in steady breaths. “I was able to sleep well last night,” he murmured, almost surprised. I smiled, fastening my jacket with my good hand. “Good. You needed it.” A knock sounded before the door opened. Dana stepped in with her clipboard tucked neatly under her arm. “The SUV is here,” she announced. “Security is outside. We can head to the tarmac anytime, but I'll advise we leave now since it's already 11:26 AM, so we could take off by 12PM and land by 6AM, since we'll be stopping at Sydney for a quick check" My heart thumped — not with fear this time, but relief. Home. We were finally going home. Shawn slid off the bed slowly. I immediately stepped forward, offering my arm. He took it,

  • Becoming Mom To The Billionaire Daughter.   Chapter 106: Back To Where We Came From

    RENNIE'S POV The hospital smelled faintly of antiseptic and quiet urgency. I followed Shawn’s stretcher down the corridor, my steps uneven as my chest tightened with every sharp rattle of the wheels. Even unconscious, he felt like a storm restrained — fear, rage, relief, all coiling inside him as the paramedics pushed him forward.They turned sharply into a private emergency room and shut the door immediately.A red light blinked above it, sealing him away from me.I stood there for a moment, frozen, my palm pressed against the cool glass window. Through it, I watched as they cut his shirt open and placed oxygen tubes, the nurses moving around him with quick, practiced precision. My throat burned. My eyes stung. Before the heaviness could choke me, a nurse approached and touched my shoulder gently.“Miss Rennie? We need to check your injuries too. Your wrist and head need immediate care.”I swallowed hard and nodded. “Alright.”She guided me into a smaller, quieter examination room.

    “Good job, everyone,” Imani said to the team, her voice calm but edged with steel. “Now that we’re inside, the real work begins. There is no room for hesitation or fear. Are we ready?” “Yes, ma’am!” the team responded in unison, saluting smartly. Their obedience made something warm flare in my chest, as I felt a sense of belonging, of being part of something bigger. “Listen carefully,” Imani continued, pointing with precision at the group. “We are dividing ourselves. Five of you go to the back, five to the tree by the service entrance, ten to hold the front gate, and the rest follow me and Rennie. Am I clear?” “Yes, ma’am,” they echoed, their voices steady and determined. “Good. For now, silently bundle the workers,” she whispered to me, her eyes sharp as daggers, scanning the room to ensure everyone understood. She gestured toward the kitchens and staff quarters. “Lock them down—no one leaves until we are finished, because everyone will either serve as an eyewitness or at le
