Nina's POV

The laughter and discussion died down immediately when Liana showed up.

What was she doing here? Could it be that she was invited by Alexander?

My face twisted. Why did she have to show up now? Alexander looked surprised to see her too.

Maybe he wasn't the one who invited her.

She casually took a seat and sat down with us without minding whether her presence was needed.

What a nerve.

She was all smiles as she placed her bag and phone on the table. The waitress came around and took he

  • Cheated on, Claimed by a Billionaire    Chapter Forty-nine: Between Two Hearts

    Alexander's POVI didn't know why I couldn't bring myself to confess my feelings for her, especially now that she had shared her plans with me.She already had a lot on her plate. She had to take care of Finn, and she also needed to work on her family's company.That was a lot, and love might be the last thing on her mind. I wasn't sure if confessing my feelings would ruin the little closeness we had.What if she didn't feel the same way about me?All she needed right now was support, and that was what I would give her. Maybe she would love me if I stood by her.And I couldn't help but promise to be there for her. She didn't have to face everything alone.Not now that I was interested in her.After a few minutes of complete silence, she checked her phone and quietly glanced at me. I knew it was already late and she needed to go home.“Let me drive you home,” I said immediately, not waiting for her to say a word.“Huh, okay,” she replied. At first, she looked shocked, but then she rela

    Nina's POV “After work today, meet me at the rooftop.” I don't know why but the words made my heart skip a little. Was he planning to fire me now?Since today after that elderly man left, I couldn't help but feel him staring at me all the time.And when my eyes met with his, he would quickly look away.No matter how I try to understand my boss, I just couldn't. I just hope he wasn't planning on firing me not exactly now that I needed this job the most.Now that I'm gathering enough money to start investigating the hotel where I had that mysterious one night stand with a total stranger I could barely recognize.I also needed enough money to go back to my mother's company, I can't fight Victoria being broke. Especially now that I'm beginning to suspect her of having a hand in my mother's death.No matter what the old man might have told him, I just hope it wouldn't result in firing me.But the man seemed to be smiling at me, he couldn't possibly be the reason Alexander suddenly wants

  • Cheated on, Claimed by a Billionaire    Chapter Forty-seven: The Feelings He Couldn’t Hide

    Nina's POVI returned to work the next day.Unlike before, today's schedule was tight and very exhausting. I was assigned numerous tasks, including serving the coffee.As I was rushing to Alexander's office, I mistakenly bumped into someone, and the coffee spilled all over him.I looked up only to see an elderly man who was smiling at me. He was supposed to be angry, but instead, he was smiling at me as if spilling coffee on him was a blessing.“I'm very sorry, sir. I wasn't…” Before I could finish apologizing, he interrupted me.“No, dear, it's fine. Seems like you're a new employee here,” he replied casually, with a hint of curiosity.If working for more than three months was considered being new, then I was new.He might have been a regular client, and I hadn't seen him before. I quickly offered to clean his stained clothes, but he brushed me off and headed to the restroom.That was when I realized he was really an important client. He knew the way to the restroom without any guida

    Nina's POV“Uncle Alex, do you come to play too?” Ethan asked after he hugged Alexander.“Uncles don't play with these things,” he replied gently while still glancing at me.I shyly looked away, not wanting to meet his gaze.“If adults can take ice cream, they should play too,” Mia said, raising an eyebrow at him.“Ugh, I will only be staying for a few minutes.”I kept watching them as they negotiated with each other.Their chitty-chat lasted for a few seconds before he finally agreed to ride the roller coaster with them.We walked up to the roller coaster like one big family and settled in.Soon, their laughter and shouts filled the air. It was as if I was the only one who was scared among them.As if noticing my fears, Alexander gently placed his hand over mine as we reached the top. Then, with a sudden force, we rode down again.Mia kept giggling as she held Alexander tightly. From the corner of my eyes, I could see how happy Alexander seemed.After riding the roller coaster, we we

    Nina's POV“He can go home now. But I recommend avoiding stress and creating happy memories while you prepare quickly for his surgery. Stop delaying it,” the doctor advised before leaving the ward, ruffling Finn's hair.Just after the doctor left, I caught a glimpse of Alexander passing by, but I couldn't find him after I rushed outside the ward.I looked down both sides of the hallway, but there wasn't a single sign of him walking down the hallway.Maybe I was imagining things, or perhaps a passerby had blocked my view from seeing him.“Mommy, I can go home now?” Finn asked immediately after I walked back to the ward.“Yes, baby.”How do I create happy memories with Finn when I can't afford vacations and expensive outings for the time being?No matter what, I would try to spend enough time with him and make him different dishes.I know it's not much, but I hope to create happy memories with him if it could improve his health.We took a cab and went home. His siblings were still at sc

  • Cheated on, Claimed by a Billionaire    Chapter Forty-four: “You'll Answer to Me First”

    Alexander's POV“What did you say?”I asked Fred. I didn't hear what he mumbled very well, but I heard something like investigation and pieces fitting together.“No, sir, I didn't say anything,” he answered, waving his two hands.After the kids were done having their fun, they started feeling sleepy. Maybe they do sleep early, as the time was just 6:53 p.m.They had their bath, ate, and I carried them to the room. They shared one room with their mother.The moment I came to the living room where Fred was sitting, he immediately stood up.I looked around the living room. It was really messed up and needed cleaning. I glanced at the scattered room and then back at Fred.Fred slightly shook his head, as if trying to say, Boss, I'm not a cleaner.“Ahem, I've something to tell you,” he suddenly said, as if he remembered something he was never meant to forget.“Shhh, don't wake the kids,” I whispered to him.“But I wasn't even shouting,” he whispered back.“You can tell me while doing the c

    NinaThe smell of coffee and butter pulled me out of sleep before the light did. I cracked one eye open.Zoe stood at the edge of the bed with a tray balanced on one hand, dressed like she was about to close a deal. Her blazer was perfectly fitted, her dark hair pulled back neatly, and her heels
