Just One Year With Mr. Billionaire Chapter 33
_Danica’s POV_When I woke up again later that evening, Evelyn informed me of Eden’s impending arrival. She’d carefully explained that his arrival would be in about 4 hours.I hated to admit it, but I looked forward to seeing him even after everything that happened.Maybe he’d explain, maybe he’d try to honor me. Even if we weren’t anything to each other, I was still the mother of his unborn child. I deserved an explanation on why he was hanging out with his ex-girlfriend.We’d have dinner together as well, then I’ll get a chance to ask the questions giving me sleepless nights.Four hours later, Evelyn walked into the study where I was trying to complete a few school projects and assignments.I pushed everything aside and looked up at her, hope shining in my eyes.“Is he back?”Evelyn nodded with a half smile. “Yes, Dani. But he’s currently at the company.”My smile faltered for a second, “Company? Why did he go there? Shouldn’t he come home first?” The questions flowed out one after

_Author’s POV_The next morning came faster than usual. Eden’s assistant had informed Dani about Eden’s arrival the previous day, she’d foolishly looked forward to seeing him at night, but a last minute call from Eden’s assistant shattered the hope she had.Eden had one last dinner meeting to attend with a client.When Danica opened her eyes to the sunlight streaming in through the opened window, she sighed, feeling the usual cramps from every other day.She glanced at the bedside where Evelyn already had her breakfast laid out neatly.Her mouth watered, her stomach letting out a growling sound. Without thinking, she reached forward and grabbed the food tray, slowly munching on the food and salivating with each bite.“I hope I don’t become fat from all these.” She mumbled as she chewed on her toast.Halfway through the meal, the door opened and Evelyn walked in. The look on her face made Danica pause, a brow coming up questionably.“Evelyn?”“Good morning, Mrs. Cro_”“Danica. Call me

_Author’s POV_Eden stood in the lobby of his hotel, his luggage already packed and waiting by the concierge desk. His flight back to New York was scheduled for that evening, and he couldn’t leave Argentina fast enough. The past few days had been a disaster, the photos with Sienna, the constant media attention, the growing complications with a deal that should have been straightforward.He just wanted to go home.“Eden!”He closed his eyes briefly, recognizing the voice before he even turned around.Sienna walked toward him, looking elegant in a cream-colored dress and heels. She smiled warmly, as if they were old friends running into each other by chance, not two people with a complicated history who should probably avoid each other.“Leaving already?” she asked, glancing at his luggage.“My business here is finished.”“I see.” She tilted her head, studying him. “Well, before you go, would you have dinner with me? Just one dinner. For old times’ sake. As friends.”Eden’s jaw tightene

_Danica’s POV_I stayed in bed for hours after my father’s call, staring at the ceiling. The tears had dried on my face, leaving my skin tight and uncomfortable, but I couldn’t bring myself to move.Evelyn had come in twice to check on me. The first time, she’d asked if I wanted breakfast. I’d said no. The second time, she’d asked if I wanted to talk. I’d said no to that too.What was there to say? That my husband had betrayed me? That the one person I’d thought might actually be on my side had proven he wasn’t?My phone sat on the nightstand, dark and silent. I hadn’t called Eden to confirm what my father had said. I didn’t need to. Deep down, I knew it was true. Eden was practical, logical, always thinking about optics and business relationships. Of course he’d release Celeste and the others. Keeping them in jail probably looked bad for the Cross name. Bad for business.My feelings didn’t factor into his decisions. Why would they? I was just a contract wife. A business arrangement.

_Danica’s POV_I sat on my bed staring at my phone screen, at the photos of Eden and that woman. The photos had multiplied over the last few hours. More angles, more shots, more proof that my husband was in Argentina living his life while I was here falling apart.In one photo, they were dancing. His hand on her waist, her hand on his shoulder, their bodies close. Too close. The way they moved together looked natural, like they’d done it a thousand times before.In another photo, she was smiling up at him. Beautiful, elegant, perfect. Everything I wasn’t.I wondered if this was what regret felt like. Real, bone-deep regret.Why had I agreed to marry Eden? The question played over and over in my mind like a broken record. But looking at these photos, feeling this pain in my chest, I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d made the biggest mistake of my life.Maybe it wasn’t too late. Maybe I could still leave. Get a divorce, disappear, start over somewhere far away where no one knew who I was

_Author’s POV_Eden stared at Sienna, his mind suddenly blank. Of all the places in Argentina, of all the parties and events, she had to be here. The universe had a cruel sense of humor.Before he could say anything, the lights in the ballroom dimmed slightly. A spotlight illuminated the center of the dance floor, and the string quartet transitioned into a slow, romantic waltz.“Ladies and gentlemen,” the host’s voice boomed through the speakers, “it’s time for our traditional couples’ dance. Please, everyone, find your partners and join us on the floor.”Around them, couples began moving toward the dance floor. Sienna’s smile widened slightly. She extended her hand toward Eden.“Dance with me?” she asked, her voice soft. “For old times’ sake?”Eden looked down at her hand, then back at her face. He should say no. He should politely decline, make some excuse about needing to take a business call, anything to avoid this situation.But he was trapped. They were standing in the middle o
