David stood at the entrance of the restaurant, his eyes quietly following Emma as she walked in, her hand tucked gently into Christian’s.

The sight left a sharp, bitter taste in his mouth, one he hadn’t been prepared for. When Allison had told him about the family dinner — about how Mathew wanted to gather everyone, and that Emma would be there — his first thought wasn’t this. His first thought was simple: worry.

He’d felt that worry crawl under his skin the moment Allison mentioned Emma. He knew Allison too well and knew she might cause trouble for Emma. That, more than anything, had been why he accepted the invitation.

When he’d seen her standing alone at the door, for a brief second, he had noticed her fingers tremble. He didn’t need anyone to tell him why. He knew exactly what was going through her mind at that moment, because the same memory had crossed his.

This place… this restaurant.

Back then, he had tried to make her smile. He had even cooked for her, hoping to fix things be

Wonder if David had realized the false accusation of Emma’s alleged attack by Allison by now or still as oblivious and blind to the truth as before ? But I weren’t surprised if he still didn’t.. cos he and Matthew were simply idiots

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Epilogue

    Six months later… The hall was packed. Rows of chairs were filled with men and women from different walks of life—doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, dignitaries, and men of wealth and influence who had flown in from across countries. Suddenly, the MC, a tall man in a black suit with a broad smile, walked to the podium. The murmurs in the room quieted as he tapped the microphone once. “Ladies and gentlemen,” his voice rang clearly across the hall, “It is my honor to announce the award for the Best Surgeon of the Year —an award that recognizes excellence, dedication, and a heart that never gives up in the service of humanity. And this year’s award goes to…” He paused dramatically, smiling at the crowd. “Dr. Emma Morgan!” The room erupted with applause, cheers, and whistles. Many stood from their seats in excitement as cameras flashed in Emma’s direction. Emma, dressed in an elegant deep blue gown, froze

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   A Wish Come True

    The room fell silent.Claire’s wide eyes darted between her mother and David. She looked utterly stunned, her little lips parting in disbelief. Slowly, she shook her head.“Mommy,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “Is this like when you told me to call Uncle Chris ‘daddy’? Is it just pretend again?”Emma’s heart ached. She reached for her daughter’s hand, tears pooling in her eyes. “No, sweetheart. This isn’t make-believe. I’m so sorry for not telling you earlier. David is your real father.”David took a hesitant step forward. He knelt down so he could look Claire straight in the eyes. His hands trembled as he gently held hers.“I know I’ve missed so much,” he said softly, his voice breaking with emotion. “Your first steps, your first words… six years of your life I’ll never get back. That’s my biggest regret. I should have been here from the very beginning. But if you’ll let me, I promise from today, I’ll never leave your side again.

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Birthday Celebration

    The long-awaited day had finally come—Claire’s sixth birthday.Emma and Sophie had been awake since dawn, making sure everything was perfect, while David had insisted on taking part in the preparations too.The birthday hall looked like a dream. It was transformed into the world of Moana, Claire’s favorite cartoon character.Bright turquoise drapes hung like ocean waves across the ceiling, and seashell decorations sparkled under the lights. A giant backdrop of Moana standing bravely by the sea was set against the wall behind the cake table. Balloons in blue, white, and coral pink floated everywhere, and paper palm trees stood in the corners, giving the hall the feeling of an island paradise.Claire entered the hall dressed in a stunning gown that instantly stole everyone’s attention. It was a soft sky-blue dress with sparkly patterns that shimmered like the sea. A sash tied at her waist with a little seashell brooch made her look like a real princ

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Quiet Promises

    David sat at his desk, his pen scratching across a pile of documents.For once, there wasn’t an urgent call to answer or a problem waiting at his door. He sighed, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed the bridge of his nose. His thoughts kept drifting—not to the reports in front of him—but to Claire. Her birthday was fast approaching, and he still hadn’t decided on the perfect gift for his baby girl.He suddenly heard a knock.“Come in,” David called.The door opened and Felix stepped in. David’s eyes widened a little in surprise. He hadn’t expected him.“Felix,” David said, pushing the papers aside. “What a surprise, man.”“David,” Felix replied with a cheerful nod as they shook hands.“It’s been a while,” David said, studying him with a small smile. “How’s work?”Felix leaned back in his seat. “Work is great, actually. Things finally turned around after Gavin’s imprisonment. All the mess with my father’s compan

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Airport Goodbye

    David, Emma, and Claire stepped out of the car and walked slowly toward the airport entrance. Today, the always cheerful Claire was unusually silent. Her small hand held tightly to Emma’s, her eyes downcast, and her lips pressed into a pout. As they walked through the automatic glass doors of the airport, they soon spotted two familiar figures waiting inside. Standing side by side, Christian and Henry had bags resting by their feet. The day had finally come. The day of Henry’s departure. When Claire saw Henry, her steps slowed. She walked slowly toward Henry, her lips trembling. Henry watched her approach, and though he kept his face calm, his heart felt heavy. When Claire finally reached him, her brave little mask broke apart. She threw her arms around Henry and began sobbing loudly. “Henry!” she cried. “I don’t want you to go!” Henry

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Self Guilt

    Mathew’s sobs deepened. “She… Isabel called me. From prison. Just an hour ago. She told me the truth—she killed Selena! She poisoned her! And I… I married her… I lived with her all these years, not knowing I had married a monster.” His voice broke into loud, painful sobs. “How could I? How could I have done that? How could I have married a woman who killed my wife! I even made her your stepmother! Oh Lord!” Emma’s body went cold. She felt her heart lurch, the room spinning slightly. Isabel had called him too? David clenched his jaw. He made a mental note to speak with the warden—never to allow Isabel to contact anyone ever again. Emma swallowed hard, her voice small. “Dad… you… you didn’t know? You really didn’t know about the poison?” Mathew’s eyes widened, horrified. He shook his head firmly, clutching Emma’s hand tighter. “No! I swear, I did not! How could I have? Selena was my wife! I loved her, Emma. I would never… I c
