Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire Chapter 751 Epilogue
Zoey's POV The doors to the Rosemonte Hotel ballroom felt bigger than they should. On the other side, hundreds of guests. A party ready to officially begin. Out here, in the antechamber, it was just me—pacing back and forth like I could wear my anxiety down with the sound of my heels against the carpet. I'd mentally rehearsed my opening lines at least twenty times. The "family" part. The "legacy" part. The "success" part. The "future" part. Which was funny, because if there was one thing I'd learned over the past few years, it was this: the future isn't written in speeches. It's written in repeated courage. In the work no one sees. In love that can carry the weight of hard days. Still… I was going to have to open my mouth. Kensington Beauty had launched big. Too big for something that, a year ago, was just a folder on Christian's tablet and my hobby of mixing things with grapes like I had any business playing alchemist. Twelve stores around the world. Twelve. I kept rep

Zoey's POV We took the private jet to Kensington Villa late that morning, and I spent half the flight trying not to think about how surreal it was to be thirty and crossing countries like I was crossing streets. Christian had that same perfectly composed calm, like even gravity was just another administrative detail. Me? My heart was somewhere between "this is amazing" and "oh my God, I'm pregnant again," which had basically been my default state for days. When the car finally rounded the last curve and the property came into view, my chest tightened in that familiar way. Kensington Villa looked even more beautiful than I remembered. Sharper. More real. The green of the vineyards richer, the sky clearer. But… something felt off. Empty. A few staff members greeted us with polite smiles, carried our bags upstairs, spoke in hushed tones, moved with that quiet efficiency of people who didn't want to disturb anything. But the place had a kind of silence that didn't belong in a V

Zoey's POV The first thing I felt was Christian's mouth on my shoulder. A slow, warm kiss. Like he was waking up one specific part of my body before the rest of me caught up. "Happy thirty, my love," he murmured, his voice carrying that smile I could hear even with my eyes still closed. I shifted in bed, half-asleep, pulling the sheet up like I could bargain with the world for five more minutes. "I thought this was supposed to be a milestone…" I mumbled, my face still soft with sleep. "Like everything was going to change after thirty." Christian pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. "And it won't?" I cracked one eye open, dramatic like I always was when I wanted to sound more serious than I felt. "In a way, it will," I admitted. "We're having another baby. We're moving to Bologna. And you're still over there… being all mysterious about something." He raised a brow, playing innocent. "Mysterious?" "Mysterious," I confirmed, closing my eye again. "But at the same ti

Zoey's POV Dinner as couples had been easy. Full of laughter that didn't take effort. One of those rare moments where it felt like the whole world could stay outside for a few hours. Christian and I got back to the apartment in Beldora still wrapped in that comfortable feeling of "we made the day fit into something beautiful." He walked in taking off his watch, dropping his keys on the console table like it was some ordinary domestic scene. Which was almost funny, because nothing about our life was actually ordinary. Not even when we tried. I went straight to the bathroom and took a quick shower. Skincare before bed was my way of telling my nervous system: it's over. You can breathe now. I tied my hair back, washed my face, and started lining up the products on the counter with a level of care that, I know, probably looks excessive to anyone who doesn't get it. To me, it was ritual. It was care. It was me being myself without having to prove anything to anyone. Christian sh

Christian's POV The Crystal Gallery felt like it had been designed to test the discipline of any man who'd ever sworn he didn't care about storefronts. Everything gleamed. Glass, marble, that kind of flawless order that somehow made everything look more expensive just by being exactly where it belonged. Different scents lingered in the air. A trace of new leather. A hint of citrus drifting from an open boutique. And somewhere nearby, the smell of fresh coffee that made you want to stop for no reason at all. Well-dressed people moved at an unhurried pace, like no one there had anywhere to be. Discreet security in all the right places. Employees with perfectly measured smiles. And me, trying to convince myself this was just a "quick stop for a few hours." Zoey walked in like the place belonged to her. And honestly, it did. Because Zoey had that ability. She didn't need to belong to a space to own it. All she had to do was exist the way she naturally did. I walked beside h

Zoey's POV I still couldn't pinpoint the exact moment my morning in London—which had started with a pregnancy test on the sink and me trying not to pass out—turned into an international operation. But somehow, before I knew it, we were all on the Kensington jet, heading to Valentia. And when I say "all," I mean all. The adults. The kids. The nannies. And… Ginger. Ginger was stretched out in the most spacious part of the cabin, wearing that confident look of a dog who was born to be loved and sneak forbidden snacks. Matt was so thrilled she was there, he seemed to have forgotten he'd just switched countries like it was nothing more than changing rooms. "Mom, look!" he announced, at three years old and fully convinced that anything new in the world existed purely to be shown to me. "Ginger's with me!" "I see, baby," I said, kissing the top of his head. I kissed Matt so often it should probably be illegal in some countries. His nanny—who had come from Verdania with Chris

The hot water in Nate's marble bathtub was exactly what I needed after the last few chaotic days. I eased myself into the water, scented with the essential oils he always kept stocked—lavender and eucalyptus, the perfect mix for unwinding. The tub was big enough for two, with hydro-massage jets plac

I watched him for a few seconds, seeing how Nate moved around the room mechanically, clearly lost in his thoughts. I decided I wasn't going to pretend I hadn't noticed. "You know this isn't going to work, right?" I said bluntly, still sitting on the bed but looking straight at him. He turned, su

A few hours had passed since my conversation with Tori in the library, and now the family was gathered in the living room, chatting calmly while we waited for lunchtime. Elizabeth had prepared a few light appetizers, and Richard played a soft melody on the piano. That's when Tori walked in with her

We walked back home in a tense silence, each of us lost in our own thoughts about what was coming. Sarah said goodbye with a kiss on Oliver's cheek and a promise to come back the next day to help with the golden retriever puppies, since she was having dinner with her own family that evening.
