Divorced and Remarried: Desired by Two Billionaires 120
120~Velma’s POVTheron nodded slowly, not pressing, not asking. That was him. He knew when to give me space, knew when to let me process in my own way. Jaden’s small hand rested on my arm, grounding me, and I let myself exhale.“I know it’s going to be sad,” I said quietly, my voice shaking a little. “And I’m… not ready yet. I need some time.”Theron’s hand brushed lightly over mine. “Then don’t,” he said simply. “There’s no rush. You can wait until you’re ready.”I nodded, feeling a small flicker of relief. I folded the letter back carefully, held the doll to my chest one more time, and then allowed myself to lean back into the couch, letting my body sink into the cushions.Jaden’s little face lit up, his eyes sparkling with sudden mischief. “Let’s play a game!” he exclaimed, hopping in place as if the idea itself had injected him with energy.I smiled, the corners of my lips lifting softly. “A game, huh? Alright. What do you have in mind?”“Hide and seek!” he shouted, clapping his

119~Velma’s POVI nodded, taking the box gently into my hands. “Thank you,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper, though I could feel the tremor in it. The guard gave a curt nod and turned, disappearing back into the shadows of the parking lot.I watched him leave, then turned back to my bodyguard, who was waiting patiently in the car. “Let’s go,” I said softly. His nod was the only response I needed. The hum of the engine filled the silence as we drove through the city streets, the afternoon sun casting long shadows across the asphalt.The box felt heavy in my lap, though not from its weight. It was the kind of weight that pressed on your chest, the kind that made your hands shake and your heart race. I kept my eyes fixed on it, my fingers tracing the edges of the lid, wondering what secrets it held.When we finally pulled up to my house, I exhaled, a long, shuddering breath, and opened the car door. “Thank you,” I said again to my bodyguard, my voice quieter this time, almos

118~Velma’s POVI had been moving through my usual routine all day, sketching on my iPad, refining the lines, shading, losing myself in shapes and color. The quiet rhythm of the pencil and stylus against the screen was soothing. I wasn’t ready to face Dylan, Eva, or even the reminders of the world outside my little bubble, so I didn’t go to work. Theron and Jaden kept me company, their laughter and chatter filling the apartment, letting me pretend that life could be simple, normal, like it used to be before grief, before betrayal, before everything tangled together.The hours slipped by, and the sun rose higher, finally marking the third day for my grandfather’s burial ceremony. I moved slowly, deliberately, pulling my black dress over my shoulders. It was elegant, minimal, respectful, the kind of outfit that drew no attention, not that I wanted anyone to look. Theron helped me with the clasp at the back, his hands brushing lightly against my skin, and I felt the familiar warmth of h

117~Dylan’s POVI was still standing where Velma had left me, frozen like a statue in the dim light of that room, my hands clenched at my sides and my chest tight, as though the air itself had thickened. The moment hung suspended, heavy and brittle, each second stretching into something unbearable. And then his voice cut through the tension like a blade, sharp and deliberate.“Dylan,” Eva’s father said, firm, carrying that weight of authority that left no room for hesitation. “We need to talk.”The sound reverberated against the walls and through my head, snapping me out of the fog that Velma’s presence had left me in. I turned slowly, my movements stiff, my jaw tight. My mother was beside me before I could even think, her hand pressing against my arm like she was anchoring me, her touch possessive and soft at once, a silent warning not to do anything reckless.“We will talk inside,” Eva’s father added, his gaze sharp. “All of us.”I nodded, slow, deliberate, though it felt like my c

~116Dylan’s POVI did not expect to see her there.But I stood there, rooted, my mind racing, my heart pounding too hard, my eyes locked on Velma as she calmly removed her dark glasses and spoke with a steadiness that made my throat burn. She did not shout. She did not plead. She did not look afraid.She claimed her place.And God help me, I was proud of her.The discussion that followed was stiff, controlled, polite in that dangerous way people become when they know reputation is watching. The executives kept their voices low, their faces neutral, because no one wanted rumors spreading, no one wanted drama attached to a death that already carried too much weight.She asked about the burial arrangements with a calmness that made it clear she was not there to perform grief for anyone’s comfort. She listened. She spoke when needed. She did not stay longer than necessary.And then she stood to leave.Something in me panicked when I saw her turn away.I moved without thinking, my feet ca

115~Velma’s POVI smiled.It was not the kind of smile people give when they are pleased, and it was not sharp enough to be called cruel. It was quiet and measured. The kind of smile that comes from having already made peace with something painful.“And you?” I asked gently, my voice steady as I looked straight at her. “Do you truly love him?”The question landed heavier than I expected. I saw it in the way her shoulders stiffened, in the way her fingers curled slightly at her sides, as if her body reacted before her mind could catch up.“Or,” I continued, keeping my tone soft, almost thoughtful, “is all of this just for show?”For a brief second, her eyes widened. Just a flicker. Just enough to betray her. Then she pulled herself together, her face hardening like a door being slammed shut.“You have no right,” she snapped, the words coming out sharp, defensive, rushed.I did not raise my voice. I did not step closer. I simply held her gaze.“I had every right,” I said quietly. “He w

55~Velma’s POVWe stepped outside, and the night breeze was soft. The lights of the restaurant reflected on the car windows, and I could hear the city around us, not loud, but alive. Theron opened the door, and I helped him settle Jaden in the back seat. I removed Jaden’s shoes so he could be comf

51~Velma’s POVI took a deep breath and let my grandfather see me again, not as the little girl he knew, but as someone who had walked through fire and come out alive.“Grandpa,” I said softly, “Theron… he invested in me when no one else would. The art galleries… they were scared of signing someon

52~Velma’s POVI took a deep breath and continued, my fingers tracing the rim of my coffee cup as I tried to gather my thoughts. “Grandpa, after the wedding… Theron and I went on our honeymoon. I was heavily pregnant by then, and honestly, I thought it would be too much to travel or even enjoy mys

53~Velma’s POVI nodded, still holding my grandfather’s hand, feeling the warmth and strength in it. I hadn’t even realized I’d been crying while telling him everything; my heart had carried so many memories that the tears just slipped out without asking. Grandpa noticed and handed me a tissue wit
