Chapter 147

Arya’s POV

The car slowed as we turned into the quiet street, the tires grinding softly against the asphalt. I didn't need to look up to know where we were, despite how long it had been, I still knew this route like the back of my hand, and I could feel the tension entering my body.

My fingers rested lightly against my lap, clenching and opening as I tried to calm my nerves. Despite the fact that this was all a part of my plan, seeing Caroline again filled me with a little bit of dr

  • I PAID A BILLIONAIRE FOR A NIGHT    Chapter 159.

    Chapter 159Arya’s POVThe drive to Blake’s house felt longer than it should have. It was evening, and I knew that most of his family would be home, and I was dreading the interaction that would take place, while hoping that I would be able to pick the kids up and leave without any drama.My mind was still on Danielle's warning earlier. What did she mean about Casey's health? What would she do to my children if the truth was revealed that they were Blake's? It was a good thing I sent the nanny with them, I needed someone to keep their rules on my children and make sure they'd be safe.I tightened my grip slightly against the steering wheel before releasing it again, forcing myself to take a deep breath as the gates opened before me and I drove up to the house.The car came to a stop, and I climbed out, stilling my nerves and walking towards the door. But before I could knock, it opened and Blake's mother, Mrs Donovan stood there like she had been waiting for me.I was expecting hostil

    Chapter 158Blake’s POVI walked down the stairs, about to head out to the gym when the sound of children laughing stopped me in my tracks. I slowed slightly, my hand brushing against the polished wood of the banister as the sound grew clearer, wondering if my mind was playing tricks on me.I walked over to Casey's room pushing the door open and stopping in surprise as I saw Casey sitting his usual quiet and calm expression replaced with a wide smile on his face as he leaned forward, fully engaged in whatever game they had created between them, while Gabriel and Gabriella sat across from him, their movements animated and their voices overlapping in bursts of excitement that filled the room.The sight of it – of how simple and ordinary it all seemed – caught me off guard in a way I hadn't expected.I hadn’t realized it was Saturday already and it was the day Arya and I had planned for a playdate.“Dad!” Casey noticed me first. His face lit up immediately, a small but genuine smile bre

    Chapter 157Arya’s POV“Gabriel, Gabriella, calm down.” I said with a laugh as I watched the kids run around excitedly.I didn't want to tell them about it earlier, so it came as a surprise to them today when I told them this morning that I had organised a playdate with Casey.The house had been filled with nonstop chatter ever since, and I watched amused as Gabriella ran from one room to the other, packing her favourite toys and dumping them in her bag. And Gabriel was trying to pretend to be more composed, but he kept asking questions every few minutes, his patience thinning out as he watched the clock.“Are we late?” he asked for the third time, hovering near the door.“No,” I replied, walking to him and adjusting the collar of his shirt. “We’re early, which means you’ll wait.”He groaned and walked back to the living room, sitting down with a huff.A playdate at Blake's house? It sounded so simple on the surface, but I couldn't stop myself from worrying. It felt like I was throwin

    Chapter 156Arya’s POVThe principal called the other two children in, and now all the children stood in a small line before us. The tension that had filled the principal’s office did not disappear all at once, but it was definitely better than it had been earlier.“Well, now that everything is settled, there's one more thing left to do. You children need to apologise to each other.” The principal said, his tone a lot more gentle than it had been before.The children hesitated for a few seconds, before one of the other boys turned to Gabriel.“I'm sorry,” he muttered.Gabriel shifted slightly, a hint of stubbornness still on his face. And I understood that look. His sister had been hurt and he wasn't in the mood to forgive, but I trusted him to do the right thing.“I’m sorry too,” he said after a few seconds.Gabriella followed soon after, while Casey stood quietly beside them, offering his own apology in a small voice.“Good,” the principal said, nodding slightly. “You may return to

    Chapter 155Blake’s POVDamn… I thought, looking at Arya in awe. She was like a mother bear protecting her cubs ferociously, and the principal didn't stand a chance against her. “…I refuse to let my children go through the trauma of being judged without hearing their side of the story.” Something about the way she said this made me feel a hint of guilt, but I pushed it down because this wasn't the time to think about our messed up relationship.Her words hung in the air, and he could see that she was completely serious. He sighed in defeat before picking up the landline on his table and whispering into it. The door opened a few minutes later, and Casey walked in first, followed by Arya's twins and a woman who I recognised as their teacher, Miss Isabelle.My chest tightened immediately when I saw my son. He looked… smaller. Not physically, but in the way he carried himself with his shoulders slightly hunched like he was trying to make himself less visible.Arya's twins, Gabriel and G

    Chapter 154Arya’s POV“I need you to not panic, but I just received a call from the kids' school.” Milo said as he walked into my office, shutting the door behind him.The moment his words registered in my head, I looked up from my tablet that was resting on my arm, the numbers and projections from the marketing team that had been laid out in neat, predictable lines that are now feeling irrelevant.My fingers froze against the screen and my heart started beating faster in my chest as panic surged through me.“What did they want? Are the kids okay?” I asked in a rushed tone.“They want you to come in immediately.”“Why?” I asked, already getting up from my seat and walking towards the door. My mind was already trying to figure out what had happened and preparing for the worst.“They didn’t say why, but it sounded urgent. I've called the driver.”I gave Milo a small smile as I walked out of the office. I hurried out the building, relieved to see that the driver was already waiting for
