My office felt unusually quiet after the storm that had passed through the boardroom earlier. My body was still trembling slightly from all the anger and humiliation I’d felt. I sat in my chair, staring blankly at the files before me, but my hands were clenched so tightly that my knuckles had turned white.

I took a long, shaky breath, closing my eyes. “You have to stop getting this angry, Alice,” I murmured under my breath. My palm instinctively moved to my belly. It was almost a subconscious gesture now — one that came whenever I was close to losing control.

“Don’t worry, babies,” I whispered softly, stroking the spot gently. “We’ll finally get what we want. I promise.”

The words came out in a whisper, but they grounded me somehow. I inhaled deeply, counting the rhythm of my breath. In and out. In and out. Slowly, the sharp edge of rage dulled into a quieter, colder determination.

I reached for the small tin box hidden inside the drawer of my desk, opened it just slightly, and took o

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   The babies didn’t make it

    The corridor was too bright. Too silent.The kind of silence that screamed.My head was buzzing no, pounding hblood rushing in thick waves that made the walls tilt. I leaned against the cold marble wall, breath shallow, the fluorescent light above me flickering. My palm was still wet. It took me a moment to realize it was her blood Alice’s blood.The image wouldn’t leave. Her pale face, eyes wide with terror and disbelief, the way her lips trembled as she whispered, “My babies.”That voice cracked, broken, still calling for me even after I hadNo. I couldn’t finish the thought.I pressed my hands over my face, dragging them down roughly, my fingertips trembling. The scent of antiseptic mixed with copper, thick in the air. It reminded me too much of something else of someone else. My brother’s body. The same metallic smell, the same silence after a scream.The memory slammed into me without warning. The night I found him blood pooling beneath him, eyes half open. I staggered forward no

    It’s been two daysTwo wonderful, almost surreal days since I arrived in Paris.Two days of air that tasted like freedom. Two days that almost made me forget the pain that lingered like a shadow at the back of my mind.Adrian had kept me busy. He’d taken me everywhere through the charming cobblestone streets, to cafés that smelled of freshly baked croissants, to the Seine River where the golden reflections danced like sunlight on water. We laughed, took pictures, and for the first time in a long time, I felt alive.Paris was everything people said it was. A city of romance, of lights, of memories. The air was always soft and cold, filled with laughter from strangers who looked like they had no pain in their world. And somehow, I wanted to feel that too—just for a little while.But even paradise had ghosts.Vincent—my husband, my nightmare—remained the same cold shell of a man. The workaholic. The perfectionist. The man who thought meetings and numbers mattered more than lives and love

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   Friend's Date

    I woke up with a start, my breath catching in my throat. For a second, I didn’t recognize where I was. The room was far too elegant, too expensive the golden curtains flowing to the marble floor, the crystal chandelier glittering faintly above, the soft hum of the heater running somewhere near the corner. I blinked rapidly, sitting up in bed, my heartbeat racing.Then it dawned on me.This was the hotel. The luxurious one we checked into this morning after arriving in Paris.Gosh, I almost thought I had been kidnapped, or worse that Vincent had finally carried out his plan and taken me to the hospital to force that terrible procedure on me. A wave of panic rushed through me, and I pressed my palm to my chest, forcing myself to breathe. You’re fine, Alice. You’re fine.I threw off the sheets, padding toward the bathroom. My feet met the cool marble, and I turned on the tap. The sound of rushing water echoed around me. I leaned forward and splashed water on my face again and again unt

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   The Day Of The Vacation (Trouble Brews)

    Vincent’s POVThe cold air outside the Markson Family Estate bit at my skin as I walked out, but I barely felt it. My mind was numb. The old man’s words still echoed in my head — harsh, cutting, true. I could hear the echo of the cane hitting the table, the sound of Alice’s trembling voice, the shock in her eyes when I’d told her to come on the trip.My jaw tightened. I didn’t regret what I said. I couldn’t. Regret was weakness, and weakness had destroyed too much in my life already.I got into the car, slamming the door harder than necessary. “Drive Lillian home,” I said quietly to Noah, my assistant, my voice void of emotion.He hesitated, glancing through the rearview mirror as if he wanted to say something, but one sharp look from me silenced him. Lillian was quiet beside me, her hand fidgeting on her lap.When we reached her home, she turned to me, eyes soft, hopeful. “Brother Vincent, please rest early, okay?” she whispered, reaching to touch my arm.I nodded faintly, forcing a

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   Joining The Vacation (Trouble)

    The journey to the Markson Family Mansion was silent.The car glided through the cold streets, the tires slicing through the snow as flakes drifted lazily from the sky. I sat in the back seat, my palms resting over my belly protectively, as if my hands could shield the tiny life inside me from the storms raging outside—and inside Vincent’s heart.When we arrived, the mansion stood tall as ever—grand, cold, intimidating. It was the kind of place that always made you feel small no matter how strong you tried to stand. The heavy double doors opened before I could even reach for the handle. A butler stepped aside, bowing slightly. “Madam,” he greeted softly.I nodded and stepped in. The warmth from the mansion immediately wrapped around me, chasing away the cold that clung to my skin. The old patriarch was already there, seated in his grand chair near the fireplace. His gaze found me immediately—sharp yet filled with something softer today.“Alice,” he said, his tone carrying both authori

  • We Divorced Now He Wants Me Back (Billionaire Contract Wife)   Old Patraich, (Safe For Now)

    Vincent suddenly stood up from his chair, the metal legs scraping harshly against the marble floor. The sound echoed through the vast boardroom like thunder, making me flinch. His face had gone rigid — that cold, domineering expression I used to fear but once loved because I thought it came from strength.Before I could step back, his hand shot out, gripping my wrist tightly. His touch was firm, cold, unyielding.“Let’s go,” he said sharply, his tone devoid of emotion.I blinked, confused. “W–What?”He yanked my wrist, pulling me closer. “Let’s get to the hospital now and continue with the procedure.”For a second, my mind went blank. Then fury exploded in me, raw and uncontrollable. I struggled to pull my hand free, my voice breaking through the room like a crack of lightning.“Don’t touch me!” I screamed.He didn’t even flinch. His jaw tightened as he took another step closer, his shadow swallowing mine. “Stop making this harder than it already is, Alice. The longer you delay this,
