Aaliyah’s POV

The door to Lisa’s apartment slammed behind me, the sound echoing in my ears as I stumbled into the cold London air.

My chest tightened as my eyes burned with tears. Her words had cut deep, but my own accusation, calling her betrayal like Henry’s, felt just as sharp and cruel.

I’d stormed in, ready to confront her, but now I was the one unraveling as the weight of everything crashed down.

Lisa had been my rock, my confidante, and I’d pushed her away, blaming her for my mess.

And she was right—I’d broken our bond first, hiding my plans, lying about that deleted text.

I climbed into my car, the leather seat cold and my hands shaking as I gripped the wheel.

I fumbled for my phone, my vision blurry as I dialed Tara.

“Tara,” I swallowed hard, trying to sound steady. “Cancel the rest of my schedule today—meetings, calls, everything. I’m heading home.”

“Are you okay, Aaliyah?” she asked in a soft and concerned tonr. “You sound… off.”

“I’m fine. Just do it, please. I need

  • He Divorced Me, I Marry A Bigger Billionaire!   Chapter 60

    Henry’s POVThe day of the event came as fast as the speed of light. The gala was a glittering spectacle held in a grand hall in New York’s most opulent hotel. Crystal flutes clinked, laughter rose and fell like a symphony, and the air buzzed with the kind of power only money and influence could buy. I adjusted my cufflinks, scanning the room for the hundredth time, my jaw tight with frustration. Orrin Hayes was nowhere to be seen which means the mysterious CEO of ELEVATIONS wasn't here either.I needed this partnership, needed their innovation to pull Smith Innovations out of the nosedive it had been in for months. But every face I met was just another elite, another handshake, another empty smile.Aurora, of course, was in her element. She glided through the crowd, her red gown catching the light like a flame, her laughter bright and calculated as she charmed a tech mogul from Singapore. She was also playing the role of perfect wife to perfection, but I knew better. .“Henry,

    Henry’s POV“I'm sorry, Smith. It just can't work.”Another client had pulled out. Their polite smiles and vague excuses did little to soften the blow. Smith Innovations was hemorrhaging, and I could feel the cracks widening beneath my feet. The conference room still smelled of stale coffee and desperation, the kind that clung to the air after a deal went south. I leaned back in my chair, my tie loosened and my head throbbing.“Mr. Smith?” My secretary, Sarah, poked her head through the door then spoke cautiously, like she knew I was one bad word away from snapping. “Your wife is here. She’s asking to see you.”I groaned, pinching the bridge of my nose. Aurora. The last thing I needed was her breezing in with her pretentious smile.“Tell her I’m busy. I’ll see her at home.”Sarah hesitated, her lips parting as if to argue, but before she could say anything, the door swung open, and there was Aurora, all radiant energy and calculated charm. She held a sleek lunch box in her hands

    Lisa’s POVI gripped my phone, the screen dim and unyielding as I checked. No new notifications from Jace still.I’ve called him a number of times, sent a handful of texts, each one more concerned than the last. “Hey, I’m okay. I just got caught up.” “Jace, I’m so sorry about missing our meetup. Please call me back.” Nothing. Not a single reply. My thumb hovered over a contact, the urge to reach out through his company’s line tugging at me, but I shook my head. Mixing business with personal stuff felt wrong, like crossing a line I couldn’t uncross. Maybe he was done with me. Maybe he didn’t want to get tangled in the mess I'm in.I sighed, tucking my phone into my purse as the driver pulled up to a penthouse. My phone buzzed, and Kaito’s name lit up the screen. A flutter of warmth spread through my chest. Since that day at his place, when we’d crossed a line we couldn’t take back, he’d been a constant in my life—calls, dates and I ended up in his place a couple of times.We wer

    Aaliyah’s POV“We're home, honey” I whispered to Elias who was snuggled in his carrier against my chest.His tiny breaths puffed against my collarbone. Orrin trailed behind, juggling the diaper bag and a stuffed giraffe that Orrin got despite telling him Elias wasn't old enough to play with it yet.The bell above the door chimed as I stepped into the penthouse and before I could take another step, Mary was barreling toward us, her apron dusted with flour and her smile wide enough to light up the whole damn place.Mary’s voice was a mix of joy and disbelief as she circled me, taking a good look at Elias.“He’s such a little angel! Congratulations, Ma'am! You’re back, and you brought the most precious cargo in the world!”I laughed, the sound bubbling up despite the exhaustion clinging to my bones from carrying Elias.“Mary, you’re gonna make me cry, and I’ve already used up my tear quota for the week.” I adjusted Elias’s carrier, his tiny hand curling around my finger. “Say hi to Aunt

    Lisa’s POV“Fuck” I muttered as I collapsed on the couch. The air was thick with the smell of our sweat.The places on my skin where Kaito’s hands had been still tingled. His touch was both gentle and commanding, unraveling me in ways I hadn’t anticipated. But as the haze of passion began to fade, a wave of uncertainty crashed over me, cold and sharp. What now? What did this mean? My heart was a tangled mess, caught between the thrill of what had just happened and the gnawing fear of what came next.I sprang to my feet, my legs unsteady beneath me as I reached for my clothes scattered across the floor. The silk of my blouse slipped through my trembling fingers as I tried to piece myself back together, to cover the vulnerability I’d just laid bare. I couldn’t stay here, not with my thoughts spiraling, not with the weight of what we’d done pressing against my chest.“Lisa,” Kaito’s voice was soft, a quiet anchor in the storm of my mind. His hand caught my wrist, gentle but firm,

    Jace’s POVAfter dialling Lisa a couple of times and still couldn't reach her, I headed for my car parked a block away. The watch on my wrist read 8:40PM, and Lisa still hadn’t shown up. My gut twisted and a nagging unease gnawed at me. My mind raced with every worst-case scenario—Hana’s goons. She was a threat I couldn’t shake. I yanked open the car door, sliding into the driver’s seat and pulled out my phone again, dialing Lisa’s number for what felt like the hundredth time.“Come on, pick up,” I muttered tightly, my thumb tapping the steering wheel as the line rang—once, twice, then straight to voicemail. I ended the call, running a hand through my hairSomething was wrong. She wouldn’t just ghost me, not after that attack, not after I’d promised her answers about who was behind it.My chest tightened, a mix of worry and frustration bubbling up. I couldn’t sit here doing nothing.I scrolled through my contacts, landing on Blyke—my old mate from the tech side of Wilder Venture
