last update Last Updated: 2025-03-22 20:40:49

Alex’s POV..

I stepped away from the bed, trying to steady myself after the chaos that had just unfolded. The weight of the situation hung heavily in the air, and I couldn’t shake the feeling of discomfort that had settled in my chest. I needed to put some distance between us—especially after what had just happened.

Venessa was still sitting there, her tear-streaked face turned toward me as I made my way toward the door. I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty, despite my insistence that I hadn’t done anything wrong.

I needed to get out of the room for a moment. I needed to think.

Before I stepped out, though, I glanced back at her, my voice gruff. “Get dressed. We’re going to the mansion. I’ll be waiting outside.”

I didn’t give her time to respond, not that I expected any. It wasn’t like I had much patience for this emotional mess right now. The reality of what we were doing, the contract, the marriage—it was all starting to feel like too much.

But I had made my choice. I had

  • Hate to Love Your Heart (A Billionaire’s Revenge)   Chapter 31: The Unfamiliar Room

    Venessa POV…I woke up slowly, the soft weight of sleep still heavy on my mind, and a dull ache pulsing in my chest. It wasn’t the kind of wakefulness I was used to—quick and sharp, with the pressing responsibilities of my day-to-day life. No, this felt like I was emerging from some kind of fog, as if I had been in a deep, dreamless sleep for hours.I blinked, adjusting my blurry vision, and then scanned my surroundings.Nothing was familiar. The room was not the cold, barren place I had been in last night, but instead, an expansive, luxurious space that was far beyond anything I had imagined. Soft, muted tones of cream and gray surrounded me, giving the room a warm, inviting feel, despite its size. The walls were adorned with abstract art that looked expensive, the light from the large windows spilling in, bathing the room in soft golden hues. The bed beneath me was a plush, king-sized thing, the sheets so silky they almost felt like they were caressing my skin. I could feel the coo

    Her breath came in shallow, pained gasps, and she instinctively leaned into him, gripping his arm for support, her fingers trembling. “I… I’m fine,” she whispered through clenched teeth, trying to push away the discomfort.But Alex wasn’t convinced. He took a step back, his eyes narrowing in confusion. “Are you sure you’re fine? You’re not acting like it.”“I said I’m fine,” she repeated, her voice more insistent now, though strained. “Please, don’t call a doctor.”Alex frowned, still watching her carefully. Something wasn’t right. Why was she refusing help?Without thinking, he reached down and scooped her up into his arms, his movements sharp, as if he were afraid she might collapse in front of him. Venessa’s body was light, fragile, and as he cradled her against his chest, she instinctively buried her face into his shirt. Her hands were limp at her sides, her head resting against his shoulder.Her body was burning with feverish heat. He felt the sweat beginning to form on her fore

    The soft, rhythmic clatter of pots and pans filled the quiet dining room. Alex stood at the stove, his movements methodical, almost mechanical as he prepared the meal. It wasn’t a lavish spread; far from it. He kept it simple—just enough to satisfy, nothing more. A gentle, delicate soup simmered on the stove, the aroma of chicken and vegetables filling the room. The soup was light, easy to digest, with soft pieces of tender chicken and carrots that floated lazily in the broth. There was a small serving of mashed potatoes on the side, creamy and smooth, seasoned lightly with just a pinch of salt. The meal was balanced—nothing too rich, nothing that could aggravate. It was the kind of meal that someone with a heart condition could manage, though he didn’t know about Venessa’s illness.He arranged the meal carefully on a plate, placing a small bowl of soup and a spoon next to it. His movements were slow, measured—as though each step he took was deliberate, as though he could feel the we

  • Hate to Love Your Heart (A Billionaire’s Revenge)   Chapter 28: A Silent War

    Alex POV…. “No. You’re not going anywhere.” The finality in my voice seemed to freeze the air between us. Venessa’s eyes shot up to mine, and for a moment, I saw the same defiance that had once made her so untouchable. But this time, it was different. She was breaking, and I could feel it. She didn’t speak immediately, but her fists clenched at her sides as she took a step forward, as if to challenge me. The tension in the room grew thick, choking us both. Then, without warning, her voice rang out, sharp and trembling with a mixture of anger and desperation. “Why do you need me? Can’t you just let me go? I hate you.” The words stung. They cut deeper than I was willing to admit. I stood still, absorbing her fury, but her hatred didn’t have the effect she was hoping for. It only made me more determined. More resolute. Her words barely had time to hang in the air before she raised her weak hands and slammed them—one after another—into my chest, her small fists landing with little f

  • Hate to Love Your Heart (A Billionaire’s Revenge)   Chapter 27: The Tipping Point

    Alex POV…..Her eyes flickered for a second, betraying the fear she was desperately trying to mask. She opened her mouth, but no words came. It was almost as if she was trying to come up with something that wouldn’t make everything worse, but she couldn’t. She knew what she had done. She knew I wouldn’t let this go.She backed up toward the wall, her body pressed against it like she was trying to escape the heat radiating off of me, but I was too close now. I was too close for her to run.“What do you mean?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Her breath was shaky, and I saw the way her chest rose and fell erratically.I stood there, inches away from her now. My face was a mask of cold fury, but inside, the anger was boiling, rising, threatening to consume me. “The last words he said to you,” I repeated slowly, my voice deliberate, like I was savoring each word. “Happy birthday, baby girl.”Her breath hitched. Her lips parted, but no sound came out at first. And when she fina

  • Hate to Love Your Heart (A Billionaire’s Revenge)   Chapter 26: Her birthday II

    Alex POV….As I moved through the corridors, my footsteps quiet on the plush carpet, I could already feel my heart beating faster. I wasn’t sure what I’d say to her, or how I’d even approach her after everything she saw last night. I could tell by the way she’d avoided me all day, But I couldn’t help myself. I had to know.When I was just a few doors down from her room, I stopped. I could hear it—the faint sound of her laughter. It was beautiful. I hadn’t heard her laugh like before . For a moment, I just stood there, leaning against the wall, listening. There was something about it that stirred something deep inside me. It was like a secret I hadn’t known she’d been keeping from me, a side of her I had never said.And then, curiosity got the better of me.I moved closer to the door, my pulse quickening with each step. I didn’t know what to expect, but I couldn’t stay away. I wanted to know what had made her so happy. What was it that was making her laugh like that?But as I stood jus
