Billionaire's Firecracker Chapter 67: overthinking
Liam sat on the porch overlooking the garden, bathed in the late afternoon sun. A cool breeze threaded through the warmth, lifting the edge of the blanket draped over Liam’s legs and carrying with it the faint, damp scent of earth. Somewhere in the olive tree, a branch creaked, restless against the wind. His shoulder still ached, but he barely felt it.The porch was drenched in the soft gold of the evening, which made the garden look peaceful and timeless. He tilted his face towards the gentle warmth of the sun, but the breeze kept stealing it away, leaving a chill that felt too much like a warning. He should have felt calm sitting there, watching the shadows lengthen across the grass. He didn’t. No matter how much he tried to ignore it, he couldn’t shake off the feeling of having a ticking time bomb on his hands. One wrong move and everything could come crashing down.The creak of the porch boards pulled Liam from his thoughts. Anna crossed toward him, barefoot, carrying two mugs th
Billionaire's Firecracker Chapter 66: The evidence
The knock came days later, just after noon; three sharp raps, quick and precise, cutting through the muffled hum of the summer air. The sound reverberated off the walls, steady as a heartbeat he didn’t trust.Liam sat behind his desk, the coffee beside him long gone cold, its bitter scent curling faintly upward. Dust motes drifted in the shaft of sunlight spilling across the papers he hadn’t touched in an hour. His fingers curled against the wood, the edge biting into his palm.He didn’t need to see the door to know.The weight in the air shifted, like the moment before a storm breaks, just as the handle turned. The hinges gave a slow, deliberate groan, and the thin slice of darkness beyond the threshold seemed to breathe toward him.“Mr. Parker,” the man said as he stepped inside. Daniel Shore was a lean, well-dressed, unassuming man, the kind of man who never drew attention until he needed to. He’d been Liam’s investigator for four years. Loyal. Discreet. And now… carrying the one t
Billionaire's Firecracker Chapter 65: Shadows
The garden was mostly the same.A little more overgrown than she remembered; the hedges fuller, and the stone path edged with wild little flowers that hadn’t been there before. But the lavender still lined the walkway, the old iron bench beneath the olive tree still waited near the center, and the silence still wrapped around the place like a forgotten lullaby.Anna stepped onto the stone path slowly with her arms crossed against her body. The air smelled like sun-warmed herbs and fresh earth, and for the first time since stepping back into the house, she let herself really breathe.She hadn’t been out here since that day. The day she washed her tear-streaked face near the fountain, shouted something she barely remembered, and walked out of Liam’s life like she meant it. And now here she was: pregnant, unsure, standing in the very place where everything had started unraveling.Her fingers drifted over the sprigs of rosemary as she walked past. The garden had always been hers more than
Billionaire's Firecracker Chapter 64: I came back
The early morning lay draped in a soft hush, the world still rubbing the sleep from its eyes. A pale wash of gold bled slowly across the horizon, brushing the rooftops and treetops with gentle light. Cool air carried the scent of damp earth and faint blooms, each breath crisp enough to wake the senses.Somewhere in the distance, a lone bird called out, its song the only thread in the quiet, while dew clung to leaves like scattered beads of glass. The house woke slowly, starting with muted footsteps in distant halls and later, the distant clink of breakfast being set in the sunroom. Curtains rippled gently where the windows were cracked open to the cool morning breeze.Anna stood barefoot by the window in Liam’s bedroom, wrapped in his robe, and one hand resting absently on the curve of her belly. Her gaze drifted out toward the gardens: familiar, yet altered by absence. She hadn’t been back in this room, this house, since the day she left.That day had left the walls quieter, the staf
Billionaire's Firecracker Chapter 63: she's all yours
The car eased to a stop in front of the estate gates, the familiar silhouette of the manor rising behind trimmed hedges and pale stone pillars. Liam sat still in the passenger seat, his hand curled loosely at the edge of his sling, his gaze pinned to the house that had shaped and broken so much.Beside him, Anna remained quiet, her face showing a bit of hesitation. “I’m not sure if I should be welcoming you home or the other way around,” she murmured, brushing her fingers gently against his knee. “But it’s time.” She gave his knee a small, reassuring touch before opening her door.By the time Liam stepped out, a few figures were already waiting under the awning of the main entrance. His grandmother stood with her back straight and her fingers curled around the top of her cane, flanked by one of the uniformed staff. Her silver-gray hair was swept into a neat bun, and her expression was unreadable.Beside her, his mother sat quietly in her wheelchair, wrapped in a soft gray shawl that m
Billionaire's Firecracker Chapter 62: fair point
The orange light of the setting sun filtered through the hospital blinds, casting long shadows in the room. After a good shower and some thorough housekeeping, the room was cleaner than it had ever been: new sheets, new clothes, his discharge papers tucked into a navy folder on the tray table, and Anna’s cardigan draped loosely over the back of a chair.Liam sat at the edge of the mattress, his arm resting in a better-quality sling, and his expression unreadable. There was a stiffness to the way he breathed, like his body was finally registering how exhausted it was. Anna hovered nearby, folding small things into a duffel bag, ready for departure. Ethan would be here any minute now.A soft knock caught their attention before the door swung open to reveal Ethan, dressed in slate-gray slacks and a fitted black shirt. He looked the same as always: sleek, composed, and just a little too alert for a man who claimed to ‘just assist’. Behind him, a hospital orderly wheeled in a chair, silent
