Chapter 156

Arya’s POV

The 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.

  • I PAID A BILLIONAIRE FOR A NIGHT    Chapter 157.

    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

    Chapter 153Blake’s POVIt was rush hour and the road was extremely busy, which I was grateful for because I had no time to dwell on my thoughts. I simply focused on driving, because even after all these years I still felt a little PTSD whenever I was driving. Things weren't adding up, and although I had known this for a while now, I simply chose to turn a blind eye to it. But now Arya was back, and she was turning my world upside down.I gripped the steering wheel tighter, exhaling slowly like that could clear out the fog in my head. It didn't do anything, my mind was still filled with thoughts I would rather not be thinking about.My phone rang then, the sharp sound cutting through the silence of the car and jarring enough to pull me out of the spiral of thoughts.I glanced at the screen on the car, groaned when I saw it was my dad calling. “Hello?” I said after picking up.“Blake.” My father’s voice came through immediately, edged with impatience and something close to indignatio

  • I PAID A BILLIONAIRE FOR A NIGHT    Chapter 152.

    Chapter 152Blake’s POVI stood outside Casey's room, trying to brace myself before going in. Casey had always been a weak child ever since he was born, and even after everything the doctors had done, he was never fully energetic like other kids. And after getting caught in the rain, his health had gotten even worse.And I absolutely detested seeing my son so ill. It made me feel weak and helpless, like there was nothing I could do, no matter how I wished there was.I paused just outside the door for a second, my hand resting against the doorframe before finally stepping inside.He lay on the bed, small against the white sheets, his arm stretched out carefully to accommodate the IV line that fed into him with a quiet, rhythmic drip.I stood watching him, my hands clenched in a fist. No matter how many times I saw this, it never quite became normal.“Hey, Casey.” My voice came out soft, not wanting to startle him.Casey turned his head slowly, his face lighting up just a little when h
