Calder stopped and turned back to Joren.

“Do not talk nonsense. Nola is still a child.”

Joren had no answer.

Had he really imagined it?

His father had kissed Nola like an elder comforting someone younger?

Who would believe that?

At the hospital, Nola remained on fluids while the doctors replenished her electrolytes.

Little by little, some strength returned.

Following Calder’s instructions, Sierra contacted the pol

  • Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride   154 Waiting for Him to Walk Into the Trap

    Joren stood against the front of the car, a cigarette burning between his fingers.Under the streetlamp, his shadow stretched far across the pavement.Wanda watched from behind the curtain.She had felt something in that kiss. There was no point lying to herself about that.But feeling it changed nothing.With Meryl and Nola now tied so closely to the Rook family, there was no future left for her and Joren.She had fallen once in the same place.She would not do it again.Outside, Joren remained by the car.His thoughts were tangled beyond sorting.Wanda.Her child.The cigarette shook between his fingers.He lifted his head toward the Avery residence and caught what looked like a figure near one of the windows.Was it her?The curtain closed.Then the light went out.He smoked until the pavement around him was scattered with cigarette ends, but the pressure i

  • Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride   152 She Has a Child?

    “This plan will only work after my teacher comes back.”Nola gave him enough of the idea to understand where she was going.A smile tugged at Calder’s mouth.“You little schemer. No one has more tricks than you.”“I am going to turn Samuel’s own rules against him.”She grinned.“I will make his head hurt, his feet hurt, and his backside hurt too.”The thought of what was coming sent her rolling across the bed in laughter.Calder watched her, warmth spreading through his chest.“I want to hold you so badly, baby.”His voice softened.“Every day I cannot kiss you feels wrong.”His body wanted her as much as his heart did.He wanted to see her every day. Hold her. Touch her. Keep her close.“Then come see me.”Nola blinked at him.“I miss you too.”“I probably cannot.”Samuel had arranged people to watch both of them.“For now, we cannot give him an

  • Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride   153 He Was Willing to Be the Other Man

    There was no point denying it now.“Yes,” Wanda said. “I have a child.”“Whose child?”The question came out slowly.Some part of Joren still clung to an impossible hope.Wanda needed to end that hope before it grew.“I am married. Of course I have a child.”The answer dropped through him.His heart seemed to fall with it, straight into some bottomless place.“You are married.”He could barely force the next words out.“To whom?”Then, quieter, “What does your husband do?”He needed to know.Needed to picture the man she had chosen and decide whether that man had given her the happiness Joren never had.“He owns a clothing company.”Wanda kept her voice calm.“When I first went abroad, I knew no one. I was alone in a strange place, and he helped me through a l

  • Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride   151 She Finally Called Him

    In the sunroom behind the Rook estate, Blythe sat over afternoon tea with hardly any appetite.A headache pulsed behind her temples. Melissa stood beside her, working slow circles into the aching spots.“I thought Cameron’s chance had finally come.”Blythe set down the pastry she had barely touched.“But somehow everything circled back. Calder walked away untouched, and that girl Nola is still running around as if nothing happened.”She pressed a hand to her forehead.“I have lost sleep over this.”Melissa kept her voice soothing.“I do not think Nola can cause much trouble now.”“She has said nothing because she has no solid evidence. And Samuel already drove her out and forced her away from Calder.”She gave a small shrug.“She will not be a threat to you anymore. There is no need to waste energy on her.”“You

  • Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride   150 The Perfect Excuse

    Samuel’s threat landed hard.For a moment, Calder could barely breathe.The old man knew exactly where to strike.Calder had not seen his mother in ten years.He did not know where Samuel had hidden her, whether she was safe, whether she was even well. Nothing.Now Samuel was threatening to take Nola from him too.To send her somewhere he could never reach.Calder could not imagine what would remain of his life then.Nola had been the first light to enter the darkness around him in years.Without her, there would be nothing waiting except that darkness again.Meryl’s fingers curled in her lap.Why did Samuel have to push him this far?Using her sister’s freedom as a weapon was cruel.No wonder Nola kept calling him an old relic.She was right.Samuel’s warning did not end with Calder.He swept a hard look across the room.“Every p

    Everyone listened in tense silence.Calder continued.“To test Dr. Dreiss’s theory, I had Anna’s ashes removed in secret and sent for analysis.”“The results confirmed it.”“Thallium was found in her remains.”He looked around the room.“That means Anna died from thallium poisoning.”A chill seemed to pass through the room.“I followed that lead and found something else.”His eyes settled on Brina.“You studied chemistry at Eastbourne University, did you not?”“You had regular access to the laboratories and could obtain thallium.”“I checked the department archives from that period.”“There is a record of you signing it out.”The words struck the room like thunder.No one moved.“Brina.”Samuel’s voice had gone rough.
