Chapter 17: Two Days

Jace’s POV

The rain hadn’t stopped all evening. It started not long after Aurora left. It whispered against the glass walls of the penthouse, soft and relentless, a distant hum that threaded through the silence like a heartbeat. The city below glimmered beneath it.

I stood by the window for a while, drink in hand, watching the traffic lights flicker against wet asphalt. Somewhere far below, horns blared. A siren wailed. None of it touched the stillness of this place my pla

  • Claimed By The Billionaire Ex   Can You Watch Alex For The Night?

    Chapter 103: Can You Watch Alex For The Night?Jace’s POVMy phone lit up in my hand, the screen bright against the dim of the living room.For a split second, my chest tightened. Honestly, I expected the message to be Aurora telling me it was time to take Alex home.Like Devon said, I was going to miss him but it was time to let him go home after all.But then I unlocked my phone and the message staring back at me was not one I thought I would ever see.‘Can you keep Alex for the night?’She had asked.I read the message once, then read it again because I was very certain my eyes were playing a trick on me and Aurora did not just ask me to keep Alex for the night.But no matter how I stared at it, the words didn’t rearrange themselves. They just sat there, staring back at me.My gaze drifted automatically toward the staircase, toward the room where Alex was sleeping—my son sprawled across unfamiliar sheets like he’d always belonged there. I typed back quickly, fingers moving faster

  • Claimed By The Billionaire Ex   The Shape of a Day

    Chapter 102: The Shape of a DayJace’s POVThe day unfolded in a way I hadn’t expected—easy, loud, unguarded.It started with Devon taking charge the moment we got out of the car, like this had been his plan all along. He clapped his hands together once, looked down at Alex with exaggerated seriousness, and said, “Alright, little man. You ready to learn how to dominate the court?”Alex blinked up at him, clutching Renald under one arm. “I domin… what?”Devon grinned. “Exactly.”Alex giggled, the sound bright and unrestrained, and that was how the day truly began.The basketball court wasn’t far—open air, sun-warmed concrete, the faint echo of bouncing balls and distant laughter from a couple of teenagers playing at the far end. Devon dribbled like he owned the place, spinning the ball on one finger before handing it to Alex with mock reverence.“Rule number one,” Devon said. “You shoot like this.”He bent his knees, exaggerated the movement, shot the ball cleanly through the net. Alex

  • Claimed By The Billionaire Ex   Borrowed Hours

    Chapter 101: Borrowed HoursAurora’s POVI stared outside the window.“I haven’t left Alex with Jace for a whole day before,” I finally said, my voice low but firm, as if stating it plainly would make it less terrifying. “Not a full day. And definitely not overnight.”Kelsey leaned back in her chair, one eyebrow arching slowly as she studied me. The café lights reflected in her eyes, amusement already blooming there.“I don’t even know if Jace would be able to take care of Alex through the night,” I continued. “The medication schedule alone—”“Oh, stop,” she cut in smoothly, waving a dismissive hand.I frowned. “Kelsey, I’m serious.”She leaned forward then, elbows on the table, gaze sharpening with that familiar mix of affection and blunt honesty I’d come to rely on. Then she spoke in French, her tone firm, unyielding.“Ne me sors même pas cette excuse stupide. Jace se soucie d’Alex. Il cuisine pour lui. Il fait attention à lui. Alors ne fais pas comme si tu pensais vraiment qu’il se

    Chapter 100: Things That Needed to Be BuiltAurora’s POVThe house felt quiet after Jace drove away with Alex.I stood by the door for a long moment after they left, my fingers still resting against the wood, listening to the faint sound of the car disappearing down the road.Alex hadn’t even looked back, and honestly, that stung a little.Just a little—and that was because it showed how much Alex trusted Jace. It meant he felt safe. He trusted Jace enough to run toward the car without hesitation, to wave impatiently, to assume I would still be right here when he came back.I exhaled and turned away from the door.Kelsey was going to be here any minute now. I immediately moved upstairs to the bathroom and took a shower.Kelsey and I had a packed schedule today. We had schools to assess and a company to evaluate as well.The school was for Alex. It was high time I sent him to school to relate with his peers. He couldn’t just be around me, Kelsey, and Jace all the time.I reached for a

    Chapter 99: The Moment He Didn’t Know He Was Waiting ForJace’s POVI hadn’t slept much these past few days and that was because I had been playing around replaying that conversation in my head multiple times.I wasn't even that focused on work. I was just thinking about Alex and Aurora.Aurora hadn’t said a word about how the conversation went with Alex and that gave me a lot of thoughts, imaginations that messed with me. Could it be that unlike what I thought, Alex didn't like that I was his father?And why the fuck is Aurora not saying a thing? She didn't even drop a hint. Not a warning, nothing at all. Just a calm message telling me what time I could pick Alex up. I wanted to drag her by the shirt and ask her, ‘what did he say?!’But then I realized that if Alex had a bad reaction to it then she wouldn't have let me pick him up after all. I pulled into the driveway and shut off the engine, gripping the steering wheel for a second longer than necessary. Devon was already restles

  • Claimed By The Billionaire Ex   Telling Alex was Simpler Than She Thought It Would Be

    Chapter 98: Telling Alex was Simpler Than She Thought It Would BeAurora’s POVMorning light filtered softly through the curtains, pale and warm, painting Alex’s room in shades of gold. I sat on the floor beside his bed, my back resting against the mattress as I watched him play. He was still in his pajamas—blue ones with little stars scattered across the fabric—his hair tousled from sleep, cheeks flushed with that permanent hint of warmth he always carried.Renald was tucked under his arm, the teddy bear’s worn fur pressed close as Alex pushed one of his toy cars across the rug with careful concentration. He made soft engine noises under his breath, completely absorbed, his world reduced to plastic wheels and imaginary roads.It should have felt peaceful.Instead, my chest was tight, my heart beating just a little too fast from what I was about to do.“Mommy,” he said suddenly, not looking at me. “When can I see magic man again?”How was it that this child was asking for more about J
