Christian stepped out of David’s home, taking a deep breath to clear his mind. The weight of everything that had happened today still pressed against his chest, but for now, he focused on the sleeping child in his arms.

Claire had refused to let go of him, even in sleep, her small hands clutching his shirt tightly. He couldn't help but wonder how scared Claire must have been before they found her and Henry.

He glanced at Ali, his friend, who happened to be a hacker and a private investigator, one of the best in the country, nodding in gratitude.

“Thanks for coming to help.”

Ali gave Christian a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “I wouldn’t have let you handle this alone. You've helped me in the past; I only returned the favor.”

Christian’s gaze darkened momentarily as he thought about the janitor. That dumb, senseless man was fortunate—very fortunate that he hadn’t dared to harm Claire when they traced his fat ass. If he had, Christian wouldn’t have hesitated to make him regret it.

I vote for Christian than David as Claire’s father since he was there with her since the beginning, treating her like his own and vice versa while Emma still harbouring love feelings for that stupid David ..

If Allison said Henry was David’s son and not Christian‘s bro’s, it not only meant she cheated on his bro and so did David on Emma during their marriage.. but of course it was most likely Henry was not David’s

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Fitting Room Charm

    Christian couldn't stop staring.Sitting in the backseat with Emma, he tilted his head slightly and let his eyes rest on her for what felt like the hundredth time. She hadn’t noticed — or at least, she pretended not to — but Christian didn’t even try to be discreet anymore. How could he? The gown she had on tonight… it wasn’t the kind of clothes he'd seen Emma wear. It hugged her frame in a way that wasn’t too revealing for him, but still managed to leave just enough to the imagination.He caught her shifting awkwardly, pretending to fix a nonexistent wrinkle in the fabric. Her hand moved, slightly tugging the hem of the gown. Christian’s lips twitched, barely suppressing a smile.Ah, this had to be Sophie’s doing.Emma wasn’t the type to pick out something like this on her own — not because she couldn’t pull it off, but because she was too modest to wear anything that put her in the spotlight. Sophie, however, had no such rest

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Banquet Preparations

    Emma stepped into the sitting room, brushing her hand down her plain jeans as she looked at the two people curled up on the couch.“All right, I’m ready,” she said.Sophie and Claire turned to look at her at the same time. The moment Sophie saw Emma, her face changed into a frown.“Terrible,” she muttered, shaking her head.Emma raised an eyebrow just as Sophie nudged Claire. “What do you think, Claire?”Claire looked a bit uncomfortable, caught between standing by her mother and staying loyal to her godmother. Her eyes paused briefly on Emma’s simple jeans and T-shirt before she gave a small smile. “Mum has other… nicer clothes.”Sophie quickly held up her palm and high-fived Claire with pride.Emma rolled her eyes at both of them. “You two are unbelievable. I’m not going on a formal date or anything. Christian’s just taking me to pick out a dress for the banquet.”“And?” Sophie replied with a wave of her hand. “Does it matter where you’re going? If Christian is TAKING YOU OUT, you

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Treading Carefully

    Emma took a deep breath for what felt like the hundredth time. Her fingers trembled slightly as she reached out toward the doorbell of Christian’s apartment.She paused, her hand hovering just inches from the button, hesitating.It wasn’t like her to hesitate this much. But this time, the uncertainty gnawed at her more than usual.Since last night, Christian had barely said anything. Not a single word after that final, quiet dismissal — "What I don’t need most is your apology.”The drive home had been filled with an uncomfortable silence, neither of them speaking. When she’d invited him into her apartment for dinner, he’d turned her down, saying he’d already eaten earlier.That moment had lingered in her mind all night.Emma hadn’t slept well. She’d tossed and turned, the weight of guilt settling deeper into her chest.She hated not being able to ascertain Christian's feelings. Was he angry? Disappointed? Did he simply not care anymore? She didn’t have answers, only speculation, and t

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Finding Out The Truth

    “What are you looking for?”The silence after the question felt like a blade slicing through the morning air.Isabel’s breath hitched, and she looked like someone had yanked the soul out of her body. Her mouth opened, then closed again. She tried to speak, but her lips quivered too much to form words.Mathew stood just a few meters away, having risen from the nursery beds where he had been tending to a cluster of delicate seedlings. Dirt clung to his palms and the knees of his trousers were soiled, but his expression was calm—almost too calm.He had been crouched just a few distance behind the tall hedges, lost in his quiet work. None of the women had noticed him. Their voices, rising with tension, had broken through what he was doing and caught his attention.At first, Mathew didn't even like gardening. It wasn’t his thing. But some time ago, during one of Claire’s visits to his home, she had pleaded with him to plant flowers with her. She had been so full of joy, running through the

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Poisoned Roots

    The chill in Allison's words stunned Isabel. She sat frozen, her breath catching in her throat.Her face went pale, almost as if someone had slapped her.“Allison!” Isabel finally gasped, covering her daughter’s mouth in panic. Her eyes darted around the secluded garden, scanning for anyone who might have overheard. Though they had deliberately sat behind the hedges for privacy, Isabel didn’t trust the house enough. Servants could lurk anywhere, and walls had ears.“Are you out of your mind?!” Isabel whispered hoarsely, her eyes darting toward the door. Her face had drained of all color, lips trembling as she looked around again.“Do you want to get us killed? Do you?!”But Allison roughly shoved her mother’s hand away and shifted back, disgust written all over her face. Her cold eyes glared back.“There’s no one here,” she said icily. “And even if there was, they’re our people... they work for us. They wouldn’t dare say a word.”

    The next day, Allison went to visit her mother. She hadn’t planned to go so early, but after everything that happened last night, she couldn’t sleep. Her heart was heavy, and her mind wouldn’t rest.When she arrived, Isabel was seated at the head of the table, gracefully eating breakfast while reading some fashion news from her phone. she was laughing about a celebrity's fashion sense when Allison made her presence known.“Mom,” Allison called out as she stepped into the dining area.“Allison?” Isabel looked up, surprised to see her. “You’re here early. Come sit with me. Have you eaten?”She was about to call a servant to bring another plate, but Allison raised her hand.“No, don’t bother,” Allison said. “I’m not hungry.”Something in her voice made Isabel pause. She motioned the servant away and patted the seat beside her. Allison sat down, folding her arms tightly. Her expression was pale, lips pressed into a thin line.Isabel narrowed her eyes, immediately sensing something was wro
