He blinked slowly, as if trying to make sense of what he’d just seen. His brow furrowed slightly, mouth parted in a small, uncertain breath. For a moment, he didn’t say anything. He stared, the silence stretching as his mind caught up to the moment.

"Wait... are you sure?" he finally said, the words quiet, almost automatic.

“Yes,” Sister Isabel answered, shuffling in her chair. “I have never seen a similar crystal before, so I am sure there is no confusion. Besides, there’s a tag on the box, so it’s impossible I got the wrong one.”

His posture shifted a little; shoulders drawn in, arms folding loosely across his chest like he needed a second to process. It wasn’t the kind of shock that made a scene; it was quiet, inward. The kind that sat behind the eyes, rearranging thoughts, reshaping expectations.

He looked away briefly, then back again, as if hoping a different angle would change what he now knew. But it didn’t.

That was the exact crystal neckl

    Steam clung to the glass, blurring the outside world into nothing but shadow and light. The water poured in a steady rush, warm and loud, filling the shower with a hush that wrapped around them like a secret.His hand traveled down, cleaning off the suds with the water, leaving her skin glowing. His other hand smoothed over her slightly rounded stomach down to the juncture of her thighs. She sucked in a sharp breath, as his fingers grazed her folds.He nipped at her ear as his fingers searched through her folds. With the gentle spray of the water just hitting her hips and nether regions, his two fingers parted her womanly petals, exposing her pink lips. He manipulated her tender flesh, moving back the hood and allowing the water to tease her bundle of nerves.“Please…” she moaned, guiding his hand down to her throbbing core.He smiled, leaning in, letting his lips brush just beneath her ear. “Oh? Thought you liked it when I took m

  • Billionaire's Firecracker    Chapter 44: what's up?

    It was already late when Anna roused from her nap. She had fallen asleep as soon as he dropped her off and hadn’t even changed out of her clothes yet. She had been sleepier than usual lately, something she needed to look into, but for now, she needed to fix her hunger issues.She headed to the kitchen, took out the leftover pizza, and shoved it in the microwave. She wolfed it down and proceeded to warm herself a glass of milk. She grabbed her milk, ready to go back to bed.Right before she went upstairs, she heard a jiggling of keys before Liam entered, fatigue etched on his features. She placed her glass somewhere and turned to face him as he closed the door behind him. Without a word, he pulled her into a hug, resting his chin on her shoulders.“Babe?”“Don’t say anything,” he murmured, his breath tickling her skin. “I just want to feel your presence right now.”“Babe, what’s up?”

  • Billionaire's Firecracker    chapter 42: is there something wrong?

    Anna pushed the sliding doors and almost collided with Sister Isabel walking out with a pile of documents in her hands. She moved with quiet purpose, her presence as steady as morning prayer. The soft rustle of her black and flowy dress reminded Anna of the past. A simple silver cross hung from her neck, catching the light now and then like a quiet promise.Her face, framed by the crisp white of her coif, held the calm strength of someone who had seen both hardship and grace. Deep lines etched around her eyes suggested a life spent smiling more often than not, though there was a firmness in her gaze that silenced mischief with a glance.“Hi, there,” Sister Isabel said, adjusting her round, rimmed glasses. Fine wrinkles dominated her face, a testament to her advanced age and the passage of time. “Anna, isn’t it?”“Yes, sister,” Anna squealed, throwing her arms around her, almost knocking the old woman down. “Y

    Three days later, Anna was feeling much better already. Her nausea hadn’t recurred in these last two days, and she had believed that it was either something she ate or just the shock from her gory memories. Everything was fine, and she had almost forgotten the existence of the outside world. In the past few days, Liam hadn’t pressured her to do anything she didn’t want to. She had done everything by her own rules.What surprised her was that this house had been furnished according to her preferences. Every single thing was on point. Nothing less. Some of the details were things she had only dreamed of, while others were the screenshots she took from Instagram and showed to Liam during casual chats. She never thought he paid attention to that, never mind remembering it. His attention to detail warmed her heart.He behaved a lot differently than in the past, showering her with all the attention in the world. She really hoped this was genuine and it wasn’t just a way to get her back or m

  • Billionaire's Firecracker    chapter 40: special place

    “Are you sure about this?” Anna asked, watching Jessica stuff her necessities into a small bag. After taking painkillers, her head wasn’t hurting much, but she felt tired and sleepy. She had been here for barely a month, and she was moving out again. Everything had been going wrong in her life recently.She had watched a lot of K-dramas and all of them said people glow after a divorce. Why was her story so different? Nothing was going according to script. She wasn’t even done with the possibility of ending up in jail, and now she had to worry about another creep showing up with more bloody images. Where did she go wrong? She was barely doing well without him. “Jessica, you were the one against my marriage in the first place.”“That was before a random dude showed up at my door with a bloody photo.” Jessicca folded and shoved her clothes into her bag. “I wouldn’t advise it, but let’s be practical here, Anna. What if that guy shows up here again? What are we going to do? What options do
