Emma held the steering wheel tightly, her eyes staring at her father's house but her thoughts spinning in circles. As she sat in the driver's seat with Claire buckled up in the backseat, the car still idle, she couldn’t help but feel lost.

She hadn’t expected this outcome at all.

A deep sigh left her lips. She glanced at Claire through the rearview mirror. The little girl was busy humming to herself, kicking her feet softly. Claire didn’t understand what had just happened inside that house, and Emma wanted to keep it that way.

Now, the big question remained. Where to go next?

Emma bit her bottom lip, fingers tightening even more on the wheel. There had to be someone. Someone she could trust, someone who would look out for Claire like their own. Someone who wouldn’t turn her away.

Then it came to her. A face. A voice. A warm smile.

Yes.

Her mind settled on one person.

She hesitated for a moment. It wasn’t her first choice. Not because of mistrust, but because she didn’t want to inconve

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Emergency Room

    The sun was already starting to go down when David finally left the office. It had been another long and stressful day at work, and all he wanted now was to see his son, Henry. He drove straight to Allison's place to pick him up. When David rang the bell and the door swung open, he barely had time to blink before Henry launched into his arms.“Daddy!” he shouted, running into David’s arms. “I missed you!”David knelt down and hugged him tightly. “I missed you too, buddy. I’m so sorry I’ve been so busy with work.”Henry pulled back a little, smiling up at him. “It’s okay. I understand. You always work a lot.”That small response hit David in the chest. Henry was always understanding, always patient. He deserved better.They were still talking quietly when a soft clearing of the throat interrupted them. David looked up and saw Allison standing in the hallway.She wore a short silk gown that hugged her body in a way that drew attention without her trying too hard. Her hair was loosely

    "...which is why I believe partnering with Ventronix could triple our market reach in Asia," one of the board members, Mr. Lennox, said confidently, folding his notes with a smug smile."And let’s not forget our numbers from last quarter," Mr. Coleman added. "We exceeded projections by fifteen percent. That growth isn’t accidental—it’s strategic.""Exactly," another voice chimed in. "We keep this momentum, our subsidiary company will become the largest private tech conglomerate in the region within two years."David sat at the head of the long glass table, listening closely. His presence alone commanded the room—he didn’t need to speak often.They were all pleased with the progress of the company. The self-satisfaction in their voices was evident. And to some extent, deserved.The subsidiary company in Asia had grown under his leadership—exponentially so. Partnerships were a logical next step for better progress.About thirty minutes later, the meeting wrapped up.“Excellent work, eve

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   A Door Slammed Twice

    Being shocked was an understatement.Emma stood there, frozen in her father’s study, staring at the man who had just told her no. Her fingers clenched the handle of Claire's suitcase so tightly her knuckles had turned white. Disbelief, betrayal, and fury boiled in her veins."You're really saying no?" Her voice came out choked, almost too soft to hear. She took a step forward, eyes wide with disbelief. "You’re really turning your back on us? On your own granddaughter? After everything I just told you? Someone tried to kill me! Someone broke into my house! And you're telling me—after all that—you won’t let her stay here?!"Mathew didn’t respond. He didn’t even look at her. His silence was louder than any words he could have said. He stood there, arms crossed, staring past her like she wasn't even there.Emma's hands balled into fists at her sides. "Are you not worried about Claire's safety at all? Did you not hear what I just said? Someone tried to kill me! I can't keep her in a hotel,

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   No Safe Haven

    Emma hadn’t slept a wink.Claire curled up next to her, sleeping peacefully under the white covers of the hotel bed. But she lay wide-eyed, staring at the dark ceiling.The police had finally taken her seriously. After the car had been towed and reports filed, their tone changed. Her earlier complaints, the missing security footage, and now a confirmed brake failure—it was enough to raise their eyebrows.But Emma didn’t feel any safer. Not even close.That night, she booked a hotel room and brought Claire with her. She didn’t care about the new locks, the motion sensors, or the door wedge alarms back home. If someone had managed to sabotage her car without leaving a trace, then she couldn't risk staying in that house—not with Claire.Claire had asked questions, of course, but Emma had brushed it off, saying they were just going on a mini vacation.Later that night, after Claire had gone to bed, Emma finally tried calling Sophie. She needed someone to talk to, someone who could help he

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Silent Alarms

    Emma stepped out of the police station with a heavy heart and a deep frown on her face.Her hands were cold, and her fingers curled tighter around the small folder of evidence she had brought along. She had expected the police to at least take her seriously—maybe not launch a full investigation right away, but at least listen. Believe her. Instead, she had left feeling worse than when she walked in.She opened her car door and sank into the driver’s seat, staring blankly ahead for a moment.“How could they not believe me?” she whispered under her breath.They had looked at her like she was being overly dramatic. One officer even chuckled as he leaned back in his chair, saying something along the lines of,“So, you watched some paranoid video online, planted a piece of thread, and now you’re convinced someone’s sneaking into your house?”Emma had tried to explain everything—the missing thread, the files moved slightly out of place, the home office door she never left open—but it hadn’t
