David’s low groans of pain pierced the hospital room like sharp needles, each sound tugging at Allison’s nerves. She stood at the edge of the bed, her hands trembling as she watched him writhe in discomfort. His body tensed, his fingers curling tightly around the hospital blanket. Sweat dotted his forehead, his breathing ragged.

Doctor Allen had warned her earlier that such episodes were expected. Post-operative pain, especially after major abdominal surgery, often came in waves. David had undergone multiple incisions, internal stitching, and extensive suturing. Nerve endings disrupted by the trauma often sent confused pain signals as the body tried to heal. This was a normal part of the recovery phase—unpleasant, but manageable.

Still, seeing him like this unsettled her.

"Nurse!" Allison shouted, pressing the emergency bell frantically as David let out another cry, clutching his side.

Within seconds, Nurse Gina appeared at the door. She was calm and experienced, a woman in her late t

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   The Price of Betrayal

    Sophie sat behind the wheel of her car, parked just outside the police station. Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly as she stared at the building in front of her. It had been days since David had told her everything — about Gavin’s involvement in Emma’s kidnap, about how he had used her, and most painfully, about how he had never truly loved her.The truth had hit Sophie like a slap across the face. At first, she refused to believe it. Gavin? The man she had given her heart to? No, he couldn’t have done that.But denial didn’t last forever. The facts were too clear, too heavy. And when she finally accepted them, the guilt nearly crushed her. She had trusted him, told him things… private things about Emma, not knowing that she was handing over information to the enemy.For days, Sophie could barely sleep. Her chest felt heavy. But when she opened up to Mathew, he listened without judging. He reminded her that Gavin’s sins weren’t hers. Slowly, Sophie realized she couldn’t live

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Shattered Crown

    The door had barely opened when Maureen’s lips parted. Her heart jumped, hope blossoming instantly in her chest. Her lips trembled as she called out, “Mother?” Her voice was fragile, shaky… desperate.For a brief moment, Maureen thought she was saved. She thought her mother had come to take her home, to end this humiliation. But just as she was about to speak, Clarisse raised her hand, her voice cutting through Maureen’s fragile hope like a blade.“Why are you so stubborn?” Clarisse asked calmly. “Wasn’t the file and the seal enough for you to understand? The William’s family wants nothing to do with you anymore.”Maureen stood frozen, her mouth slightly open. Her knees wobbled as if someone had knocked the strength out of her legs. She stared at Clarisse, her own mother—no, the woman she had called mother for as long as she could remember—and there was nothing in her expression. No regret. No warmth. Just… cold detachment.It felt like a thousand needles piercing her chest. Her han

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   The Seal of Betrayal

    Present Day... Maureen was already fuming. What was taking so long? She had been locked up in this miserable room for hours. Maybe even four, five hours? She couldn’t tell anymore. The small square window up above the wall let in a dull orange glow, which told her it was already evening. That meant she had spent all her day in this disgusting, mold-infested space. "Ridiculous," she muttered to herself, pacing again. Her heels clacked loudly against the tiled floor. They were killing her feet, but she had refused to take them off. Who knew what kind of bacteria lived in this ugly excuse of a room? Taking them off wasn’t even an option. Maureen couldn't help but wonder—why would a billionaire like David bring her to such a place? Certainly, he could afford to put her in a more decent room, or even a penthouse while she waited for her family… Why did it have to be such a stinky place? She stared at the door again. Nothing. "Where is my father's rescue team? What the hell are

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Clarisse Williams

    Three days earlier…David had always prided himself on staying ten steps ahead of everyone else. But nothing could have prepared him for the shock he felt that afternoon.Maureen Williams.He was on the verge of losing it. Maureen. Of all the people. She had posed as the fake nurse and snuck into Emma’s hospital room.He stood up abruptly, his entire body tense with fury.Of all frigging people?! Maureen?!If anyone had told him that Maureen was capable of something like this, he wouldn't have believed it.Not because he trusted her—far from that—but for the fact that he hadn’t even considered her an enemy to Emma. In his mind, she was just a spoiled little girl with too many shoes and too much free time. Always trying to get attention like a child throwing tantrums in a toy store. That was all she was to him.But now… now, she had crossed a line.David stormed out of the surveillance room, unable to stay still. He walked down the hallway and stepped outside into the fresh air. The wi

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Airport Encounter

    Three days later… Maureen walked confidently into JFK Airport. She wore a white silk jumpsuit that hugged her tall frame and carried a glossy black Dior handbag over one arm. Her oversized Gucci sunglasses rested perfectly on the bridge of her nose. Her long black hair was pulled into a high, sleek ponytail, and her lipstick was a bold, commanding red. Beside her was her assistant, Flora, clutching a tablet and walking nervously in her flat shoes. Behind them were two bulky bodyguards in black suits, dragging Maureen’s designer luggage on gold-accented suitcases. It was a dramatic entrance, one that made heads turn. They reached the immigration counter, where a stern-looking officer, dressed neatly in a navy uniform and wearing a badge that read "Customs and Border Protection Officer," looked up as Maureen approached. "Good morning, ma’am," the officer said politely. "May I see your passport and visa, please?"

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Unmasked

    David stared at Mathew, stunned. He immediately stood up from his chair, and came closer to Mathew. “How? Mathew, what do you mean?” Mathew let out a slow breath and looked away for a second, trying to gather his thoughts. “At that time Emma was admitted to the hospital after the bombing explosion, I came to visit her. The guards were stationed outside, as usual, but when I entered her ward, I saw a nurse already inside... standing beside her alone.” David's eyes narrowed. “A nurse?” “Yes,” Mathew nodded. “I noticed she was holding something in her hand. But the moment I spoke, she quickly stuffed it back into her pocket and left without saying a word.” David went rigid. “Did you see her face?” Mathew shook his head. “No. I only saw her from the back. But I’ll tell you this—she didn’t look anything like Nurse Angela. Her body shape was different. Angela is round, curvy... this one was slimmer. At first, I thought it was strange because she didn't really speak much and ha
