Falling for the Ruthless Billionaire Don Chapter 56
MARINA The hospital was quiet that morning, too quiet for the buzz of emotions tangled inside me. My palms were damp as I sat on the padded bench outside the ultrasound room, trying to control my breathing. Alexander was next to me, his hand wrapped around mine like a grounding wire.He hadn’t let go of me since we left the house.“You okay?” he asked quietly, leaning closer.I nodded, though my stomach was a riot of nerves. “Just… scared.”Alexander turned his hand over and brought mine to his lips. “Whatever it is, we’re in it together. All the way.”The nurse stepped out and called my name.“Marina Torricelli?”I blinked. The name still jarred me. It wasn’t mine. Not legally, not yet. But it was how Alexander had registered me in the hospital system, as if I already belonged to him.My eyes flicked to him as I stood up.“You did that?” I whispered.He looked at me like I was slow for only just noticing. “Of course I did. You’re mine.”Something about the way he said it, not posses

MARINA Later that week, I resigned from my previous hospital remotely. The weight of that decision was lighter than I expected. I didn’t miss the coldness of it, the impersonal wards, the endless adult cases. My heart had always been with children, their resilience, their honesty, their little fingers wrapping around yours in trust.So, I applied at a small paediatric clinic just ten minutes from the house. It was bright and friendly, and the head doctor remembered me from a conference I once attended. He offered me a place after one meeting, saying they’d been desperate for someone with my experience and gentle nature.My hours were flexible, part-time, to begin with, and I found myself smiling every time I walked through its cheerful walls.It felt like another step forward. Another thread stitching me into this life I never thought I’d have.I don’t know exactly when it started.Maybe it was the third morning in a row I couldn’t get out of bed without the world tilting slightly to

MARINA Sunlight warmed my bare shoulder before I opened my eyes.I shifted slightly under the soft sheets, the scent of Alexander wrapped around me, amber, cedar, and skin. My head was nestled in the crook of his arm, one of his hands still splayed protectively across my lower back, the other tangled in my hair.His breathing was slow. Peaceful. And for once, so was mine.We had fallen asleep like that, bodies tangled, hearts finally quiet.I smiled to myself, eyes still closed.Then I heard it.A gasp. A soft, surprised one.Another tiny voice whispered, much louder than it probably thought it was.“Vinny, is that mummy?”My eyes flew open.At the door stood Vincent and Xavier, both still in their pyjamas, mouths open, eyes wide, clutching onto each other like they’d just seen a ghost. A very naked ghost.“Oh,God,” I whispered, struggling to sit up as the sheets slipped dangerously. “Alex...Alexander...wake up,”He stirred groggily. “What… what is it?”“They’re here.”“Who’s he—?” H

MARINA The silence after the front door closed was deafening. It wasn’t just the absence of voices or footsteps, it was the way the energy shifted. The house suddenly felt... still. Like something precious had been carried out of it.Alexander and the boys were gone.Back to the penthouse. Back to their world.I stood at the window, watching as the black SUV pulled away. Xavier’s small face pressed against the window, waving hard, too hard, like he didn’t want to stop. Vincent didn’t wave. He just looked at me the way Alexander sometimes did. Like he saw too much.My hand dropped slowly from the curtain.“You love them,” came a voice behind me. Not accusing. Not questioning. Just... knowing.I turned. My mother stood there, arms crossed loosely over her chest, her expression unreadable. My father was in the doorway, quiet. Watching.“I don’t know what I’m doing,” I whispered.“You don’t need to,” she replied softly, walking closer. “You just need to know what your heart wants.”I swa

MARINA The sound of the door clicking shut behind me barely registered. I’d just stepped into the hot spray, my eyes still heavy with sleep, my skin cool from the sheets. The kids were downstairs with my mum, the house still quiet, the sky outside only just beginning to lighten.I hadn’t expected him this early.I didn’t even hear the front door.But I felt him.A shift in the air behind me. The unmistakable heat of his body.I turned slowly, blinking away steam.He was there.Alexander.Suit jacket gone. Shirt half unbuttoned. His hair slightly damp from the mist, his jaw shadowed with stubble. He looked like sin and power and something barely contained. Exhausted. Wild-eyed. And so achingly beautiful it hurt.His eyes dragged over my wet, naked body like he hadn’t seen it a hundred times before. Like he might drop to his knees from just looking at me.He stripped in silence, quick, deliberate, and stepped into the shower.The moment the door closed behind him, I was in his arms.

MARINAThe house was dimly lit when we walked in, quiet, calm, almost too calm for what my heart was doing in my chest. Vincent and Xavier charged inside like it was already theirs, their laughter bouncing through the hallways as if they belonged here. In a way… they did.Alexander stood beside me, one hand still resting on the small of my back, like he wasn’t ready to let go. Or maybe like he didn’t trust the night to behave in his absence.My mum stepped out from the kitchen just then, drying her hands on a dishtowel, her brows knitting at the sight of us. She looked from me to the boys, and then slowly… to Alexander.Dad came up behind her, glasses pushed up on his nose, silent and stiff, saying nothing but clearly noting everything.“They’ll be staying the night,” I said quietly, gently steering Xavier’s little backpack off his shoulder.My mother looked at me, something unreadable in her expression. “Are you sure you’re up for that?”“I want to,” I said. And then added, “Alexande
