Allison stood perfectly still, arms extended above her head, one leg bent at the knee in tree pose.

She stood on her yoga mat, her breathing was measured, eyes closed, face calm and serene.

She had recently started practicing yoga again, not because she enjoyed it, but because her new trainer had insisted it was good for her “priceless and goddess figure.” She liked those words.

Goddess. Priceless.

She was both, and more. Anything that preserved that status—whether it was cutting carbs or early morning meditations—was worth the effort.

Her mind was halfway between mindfulness and a to-do list when her phone buzzed sharply beside her yoga mat, shattering her brief illusion of peace.

Her eyes flicked open with a slight frown as she lowered her arms. She reached for the phone and glanced at the screen.

Gavin. Again.

A hiss slipped through her teeth as she stabbed the "silence" button with her finger.

Did people never learn?

This was the third time this week. How pathetic could one man

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Nurse Angela

    A wave of panic washed over David as the chief officer's words replayed in his head. There was still a murderer out there—someone still wanted Emma dead.The thought made his stomach twist. He couldn't ignore the sudden need to be near her, to check for himself that she was still safe. He didn't tell Christian or the officer; he just left.When he finally arrived at the hospital, David didn't wait for the elevator. He ran up the stairs, taking them two at a time until he reached her floor. As he opened the ward door, he paused—his eyes scanned the room, searching. And there she was.Lying still, pale but peaceful.Matthew, seated beside her bed, looked up, startled by the sudden entrance. He frowned at the sight of David’s frantic expression."You alright? What’s going on?" Matthew asked, standing from his seat.David sighed in relief. His eyes didn’t leave Emma as he walked closer to her bedside.Matthew raised a brow. "What happened? What about the investigation and questioning… any

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Truth

    Christian stood quietly at the edge of the sidewalk, his arms folded, watching as the police escorted Gavin into the station. The man looked disheveled, his hands cuffed tightly behind his back. His face was swollen from the earlier scuffle and his eyes darted around nervously, clearly realizing that his fate was no longer in his hands.Christian's jaw clenched. This wasn’t how he had planned it. If David hadn’t intervened, Gavin would’ve paid in a much more personal and painful way. Christian had always preferred handling such matters with his own hands. Quietly. Efficiently. Permanently. But David wanted justice done through proper channels. So, for now, Christian had to stand back.Still, prison was no safe haven for Gavin. Christian knew that. If Gavin seriously thought he had finally escaped his clutch... then he was clearly mistaken because he had plenty of friends in there—men who owed him favors. Gavin’s days of freedom were over, and even behind bars, he wouldn’t find peace.

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   The Reckoning

    The room was dark. Not just night-time dark—but heavy, suffocating darkness that swallowed everything. There were no windows, no cracks for light to slip in. The walls were cold and rough, and the air smelled of mold, urine, and damp rot. The floor was sticky. Rats squeaked somewhere nearby. Allison lay curled on the hard ground, her arms wrapped around herself, trembling. Her clothes were torn and soiled. Her lips were cracked from thirst. Her stomach had stopped growling hours ago—it was now a deep, hollow pain. Ruby had made sure to break her in every way possible. Beatings, starvation, harsh words. Sometimes silence. Other times loud screams. It was a place built to make someone lose their mind. Yet, somehow, Allison hadn’t broken completely. Bruised, yes. Starved, certainly. But there was still a flicker of pride burning in her chest. She had stopped begging. She hadn’t told them what they wanted to hear. She was still alive.And for her, that meant something. She wasn’t fre

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Confession

    David could only stare at Christian, surprised. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard. Gavin was already captured? When? How had Christian managed to do that? David wanted to ask, but before he could say another word, Dr. Allen walked in with a team of nurses.“We need to move her to the recovery ward,” the doctor said.David turned to see them wheeling Emma out of the emergency room. Wires, IV drips, bandages—the sight made his heart twist. He followed the stretcher without hesitation, Christian walking beside him.Once they reached the recovery room, Christian stepped aside and began making a few calls. David informed Sophie and Grandpa about Emma’s condition, while Christian reached out to Mathew. They both agreed on one thing—this time, they weren’t going to take any chances.They beefed up security. At least a dozen guards were stationed at Emma’s recovery ward. No one could enter or leave without passing through several layers of protection.Sophie was the first to arrive.

    David held Emma tightly in his arms as her blood soaked into his shirt. Her breathing was shallow, her skin pale and cold. He glanced around, desperate to know who had pulled the trigger.Then he saw him—the last surviving attacker. The very one Emma said she had knocked out cold. Apparently, he hadn't died. He had been hiding in the bushes, waiting for the right moment. And that moment came the second Emma descended from the treehouse and let her guard down.David's men had already tackled him to the ground. There was shouting, punches, and the clatter of a gun being kicked away. But David didn’t watch any longer. He had more important things to do."Move!" he shouted at his team, rushing toward his car with Emma still in his arms. She was getting weaker by the second. He laid her in the back seat carefully and climbed in beside her, shouting directions at his driver. "To the city hospital! Now!"He pulled out his phone with shaky fingers and dialed quickly. "Dr. Allen," he said, voi

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Shattered Haven

    David finally arrived at the amusement park. His car came to a halt, tires crunching over the gravel path that led to the park's main gate. The place looked empty, its sign swaying gently in the breeze.When David had heard the name of the amusement park… he was shocked. It was the same amusement park he had gifted to Emma when they were married! Who knew it was so close?Back then, Emma had said it was the one place that made her feel like a kid again. Safe. Happy. Free. David had never forgotten those words, and when the chief officer had mentioned the location as a possible hideout, something clicked."I’ll head to the railway with my men," the chief officer had told him, not fully convinced about David's intuition.But David was sure and certain. "I’m taking my team to the amusement park. If she thinks she’s safe anywhere, it’ll be there.”And now, standing in front of the rusted gate, he could only hope he was right.He motioned to his men. "Spread out. Search every corner. Quiet
