CLAIMED BY THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 46
Liam's POVMonday mornings always started the same way. Meetings, reports, numbers.Today was no different.The boardroom was already filled by the time I walked in. Adrian sat on my right while Ivan stood quietly near the screen with today's presentation prepared. Department heads occupied their usual seats, including the Research and Analysis team.Ava sat a few seats away with a file open in front of her.She looked up briefly when I entered.Just one glance. Professional and calm.As though yesterday's date had never happened.I almost smiled."Good morning, everyone."The room echoed with greetings before everyone settled.A few minutes later, the boardroom doors opened again.Sebastian Cross walked in with two executives behind him, Adams following closely with a tablet in hand."Mr. Reynolds.""Mr. Cross."Sebastian smiled politely."I appreciate you agreeing to this meeting.""I agreed to hear your proposal.""Fair enough."We shook hands before everyone took their seats.Ivan

Ava's POVMrs. Stewart stood frozen at the doorway.Her eyes were wide.Her mouth slowly fell open as she looked from Liam... to me... then back to Liam."Aah!"Her scream echoed through the office.I jumped off the desk so fast that my heels almost gave way beneath me."Liam!"I quickly pulled my blouse down properly and pushed my hair behind my ears."M-Mrs. Stewart..."She was still staring at us like she'd seen a ghost."I... it's not what you think." The words stumbled out before I could stop them. "I mean... we weren't... I mean..."God. Why was I making it worse?"I can explain."Mrs. Stewart blinked rapidly."I... I..."Before either of us could say another word, Liam cleared his throat.The sound alone made the room fall silent.He adjusted the sleeves of his shirt calmly before looking directly at Mrs. Stewart."What you saw in this office… stays in this office."His voice was stern and calm.Mrs. Stewart swallowed hard."Y... yes, sir.""I trust I don't have to explain why.

Liam's POVThe club wasn't as busy as usual.Soft music played in the background while businessmen occupied different corners, discussing deals over expensive drinks.Adrian was already seated at our usual table.The moment he saw me, he raised his glass."I was beginning to think your girlfriend kidnapped you."I sat opposite him. "She didn't.""Pity."I smirked. "You talk too much.""I've been told."A waiter placed a glass of whiskey in front of me before walking away.Adrian leaned back in his chair."So...""So?""How's the secret relationship going?"I took a sip of my drink."It's going."He laughed."That's the best you've got?""I don't know what else you want me to say.""I want details.""There aren't any.""Liar."I shook my head.He pointed his glass at me. "You smile more. You even argued less during today's board meeting."I looked at him."I was thinking.""Exactly."He grinned. "About Ava."I didn't deny it.That alone made him smile wider. "You've got it bad."I sigh

Sebastian's POVMy alarm went off at exactly six in the morning.I reached over and switched it off before sitting up.Another day, another meeting, another opportunity to stay ahead of everyone else.I walked into the bathroom, took a quick shower, then got dressed in a charcoal gray suit. As I adjusted my watch, my phone rang.Unknown Hospital.I already knew who it was so I answered."Sebastian Cross." I said."Good morning, Mr. Cross," the doctor said. "I'm calling from Green Oaks Psychiatric Home.""What happened?""There was another episode last night."I closed my eyes briefly."Is she hurt?""No.""Did she hurt anyone else?""No, sir. We managed to calm her down."I walked toward the window overlooking the city."How is she now?""She's stable." The doctor hesitated. "But she refused her medication again."I sighed. "Did she say why?""She kept asking for you."Silence filled the room."She said she wanted to see her son."My grip tightened around the phone. "I'll come when my

Ava's Pov The drive back to my apartment was quiet, not because it was awkward but It was comfortable.Liam rested one hand on the steering wheel while soft music played in the background.Every now and then, he'd glance at me before returning his attention to the road."What?" I asked when I caught him looking again.He smiled. "Nothing.""You're staring. Why?""Because you're my girlfriend now."I laughed, shaking my head. "You really said that so easily.""It is easy."My cheeks warmed. "I don't think I'll ever get used to hearing that.""You'll have to."I smiled to myself and looked out the window.A few minutes later, he pulled up in front of my apartment building.Neither of us moved."So, I had a nice time." I said softly."I'm glad."He turned slightly toward me. "There is something I want to ask."My smile faded a little. "What is it?""The anonymous messages."My fingers tightened around my handbag."What about them?""I saw the last one and I've been thinking about it."I

Ava's POVI had changed my dress three times already.The blue one looked too formal, the black one made me feel like I was going to a company dinner and the white one... I liked it, but somehow it didn't feel right."Ava!"Isa's voice came from the living room."Are you still changing?""I'm almost done.""You've been 'almost done' for thirty minutes."I rolled my eyes before looking at myself in the mirror again.Finally, I reached for the emerald green dinner gown hanging on the wardrobe.It hugged my waist perfectly and fell just above my ankles. I paired it with nude heels and a matching handbag before leaving my hair straight, letting it fall over my shoulders.I picked up my perfume and sprayed a little on my neck.Just then, there was a knock on my bedroom door. It slowly opened as Damien peeked inside."Mama?"I smiled immediately. "Come in."He walked in with his little dinosaur tucked under one arm and his eyes became wide."Wooow…..You look like a princess."I crouched in

The sun was bright when Damien and I reached the park. He held my hand until we stepped onto the grass, then he let go and ran ahead, full of energy. His laugh carried through the air as he darted toward the swings, then the slide, and then the sandbox. I kept my eyes on him, sitting down on a benc

Liam’s POVDinner was quiet at first. Diana pushed her fork around the plate, not really eating. I tried to lighten the mood, asking about school, her drawings, her favorite book. She gave small answers, distracted.Finally, she put the fork down and looked at me.“Daddy,” she said softly. “Can I a

Liam’s POVThe phone rang while I was at my desk, and for a second I considered ignoring it. I had told Ivan I didn’t want any calls, but when his voice came through the intercom, I knew something was wrong.“Sir,” he said, calm but firm. “It’s Dr. Miranda. She insists.”I straightened in my chair
