“Yes…” she whispered.

“This is better.”

She nodded faintly.

Then added another line.

“Please, when can I meet you at the office?”

Now it sounded different.

Professional.

Neutral.

Controlled.

As if nothing serious had happened.

As if everything was normal.

She stared at the message for a long time.

Her thumb hovered over the send button.

Not moving.

Her heartbeat echoed in her ears.

Loud.

Relentless.

What if he ignores it?

What if he reads it… and decides to c

  • Billionaire's runaway bride   chapter 30

    For a moment—Jonathan’s heart skipped.The boldness in Jerald’s voice…The authority.The force behind that single word—“Wait.”It didn’t sound like a plea.It sounded like a realization.Like something had just clicked in his mind.Jerald lifted his hand, signaling him to stop.He turned slightly, his back half-facing Jonathan, his shoulders tense.His eyes were shut tight.His jaw clenched.“Wait… wait…” he repeated, slower this time, as if trying to organize the storm in his head.Then he turned back.His eyes opened.Sharp.Direct.Suspicious.“Are you trying to tell me,” Jerald began, his voice low but edged, “that all of this—everything you’re saying—is just to prove that Matilda is not right for me?”A pause.“Or is there something else?”His gaze hardened.“Because the last time I checked… you’re my friend.”Another step closer.“Not my father. Not my mother.”Jonathan remained still.Watching him.Measuring him.a slight relief washed down his spine.thank God he did not re

    “Hey, buddy… what’s the problem?”Jerald’s voice cut through the silence, trying to sound calm—but the confusion in it was obvious.“You just drove out like that…”He took a step closer.“Is it because I was with her?”A pause.“I know you’ll say something about my wife… this and that…”He exhaled, shaking his head slightly.“But honestly—none of that is enough reason for you to just drive off the way you did.”Jonathan didn’t respond.He couldn’t.Not yet.Instead—He stood up.Sat down again.Ran his fingers through his hair.Tapped the table.Stood again.Restless.Agitated.Like a man fighting something inside himself that refused to stay buried.Should I tell him?The thought hit hard.Or should I just explode?His jaw tightened.How can he treat his wife like that?Another thought crashed in—Should I tell him about the pregnancy?His chest rose sharply.Or should I just… lie? Make something up and walk away from all this?His thoughts clashed violently, one against the other.“

    Jerald stepped out of the car without turning off the engine.The headlights remained on—bright, harsh—cutting through the tension in the compound.He walked toward her.His steps were quick, determined.When he reached her, he grabbed her arm—slightly rough… but not enough to hurt.Just enough to stop her.To steady her.“Please,” he said, his voice low but urgent, “I will explain everything to you when I get back. Let me go and see him.”Matilda shook her head immediately.“No… before you go, I have something to tell you,” she said, her voice trembling despite her effort to stay composed.“And it’s very important.”Her head dropped.Her eyes fixed on the ground.Her palms pressed together tightly, fingers interlocked as if holding herself from falling apart.Then slowly—She lifted her gaze just enough to catch his face.Searching.Hoping.Is he ready to hear me out?But the answer was already there.In his eyes.In his posture.In the way he barely held still.He wasn’t ready.Not

    “I’m good.”Jonathan replied without looking at him.His eyes remained fixed on the windscreen, unblinking… distant… as though whatever he was seeing wasn’t the road ahead, but something far deeper, far more troubling.“I came to discuss something with you.”His tone was flat.Controlled.His face—straight, almost hardened.No warmth.No enthusiasm.No trace of remorse.Just… intent.Jerald paused for a second, studying him.Something wasn’t right.“Let’s go inside,” he said, forcing a lightness into his voice. “I’ll pour you a glass of wine so we can talk.”A normal offer.A familiar routine.But nothing about this moment felt normal.Jonathan didn’t move.Not immediately.He sat there, hands resting on the steering wheel, his fingers tightening slightly as if gripping onto the last bit of control he had left.For a moment—He hesitated.Debating.Should he step out?Should he go inside?Should he say it here… or not at all?His thoughts tangled.Heavy.Conflicting.Then—Something c

    ey were totally lost in each other—stories flowing, memories resurfacing, laughter spilling freely into the air as though nothing in the world could interrupt that moment.For a while…It felt easy.Carefree.Like the past carried no weight.Like the present had no consequences.And then—They drove into the compound.Right in front of the house…A car was parked.Quiet.Still.Too still.No sign of movement whatsoever.The engine was off. No lights. No indication of life inside.It was obvious—Whoever had parked the car had been there for a while.Jerald slowed down slightly, his eyes narrowing as he tried to get a clearer look.But Matilda—The moment her eyes landed on the car…Everything changed.The laughter died instantly.Her smile faded like it had never existed.Her body stiffened.And for a brief, chilling second—She looked terrified.Like someone who had just seen a ghost.Because she knew that car.She knew it too well.That same car.The same one she had been in that ni

    “The car.” Without wasting another second, he turned and hurried out, his steps quick, almost impatient. --- Reaching the car, he opened the door and grabbed his wallet. That was when he noticed it. Missed calls. From Jonathan. One. Then two more. His expression shifted slightly. A mix of curiosity… and mild concern. He stared at the screen for a second longer than necessary. “Probably nothing,” he muttered to himself, brushing it off. “I’ll call him when I get home.” He shut the car door and headed back inside. Back at the house— Jonathan had already arrived. His car was parked in front, sitting quietly, almost deliberately—like a man who had made up his mind and was no longer willing to wait. He sat inside for a moment longer, gripping the steering wheel. Thinking. Replaying everything. Matilda. Jerald. Vivian. The truth. The weight of it all pressed heavily against his chest. “I need to speak to him,” he said under his breath. “Face to face.” Because th

    “Oh no… have I done something wrong?”The thought hit Matilda the moment the manager’s face turned serious.Maybe the pictures earlier annoyed her…Maybe the attention… the fan… the recognition…Her heart began to beat faster.Why the sudden switch?Am I disqualified?What could be the problem at t

    “Alright, Matilda… after you.”As the elevator doors opened slowly, Matilda stepped in first.The manager followed.Before the doors closed, Matilda turned her head slightly toward Jerald, who was standing by the car, hoping to say goodbye to her.Their eyes met for a brief moment.Jerald gave her

    Standing up from the ground with her mouth full of his load, she paused for a moment.After several minutes of doing a great job down there, making him enjoy every bit of those minutes and seconds, she finally rose to her feet.She walked to the bathroom and emptied her mouth into the WC.After cle

    Jerald hurried through his bath, mindful of the time. Matilda had an appointment to catch within the hour.A few minutes later, he stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. Another towel hung loosely in his right hand as he used it to dab the water from his hair. Droplets s
