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   Chased Away

    “It’s Allison,” Isabel said quickly. “I haven’t been able to reach her for days. Her line's been off. I think David has something to do with it. I’m worried, Mathew. Something feels very wrong.”Mathew didn’t interrupt her. He just stood there, arms folded, watching her speak with wide, anxious eyes. Of course, he already knew that Allison was missing.David had told him what he and Christian had done to her—how they made Gavin not mention anything about her involvement with Emma's kidnap in court, and how she was currently being detained, punished, and locked up by Christian. They didn't want her just locked up in prison... it would be too easy for her. Mathew had silently given his approval. To him, he still felt that David was too lenient towards Allison, but knowing that Christian was involved, he was reassured that Allison would pay dearly. Now, looking at Isabel's distressed face, there was no sympathy in him. If anything, he felt irritation… even contempt. A part of him wishe

  • Loving The Billionaire Gone Wrong   Isabel's Karma

    Isabel paced back and forth in the small garden behind her villa.In her right hand, she held her phone tightly, but her thumb hovered close to the call button. She had called Allison more times than she could count. At first, it had been just once or twice out of routine, but now, it had become a nagging ritual—check the phone, see no missed calls, call again, hear the same dead tone.At first, Isabel hadn’t thought much of it. She had deliberately stayed away from Allison for a while. Their relationship was strained—always had been, especially after Emma's return to New York. Allison never treated her with the respect one might expect from a daughter. In fact, there were moments Isabel had felt like a stranger to her own child. So, for the past few days, Isabel had drowned herself in high-end brunches, glamorous parties, and exclusive events to avoid the cold silence that came from her daughter's end.But now… now it had been weeks. No response. No texts. No voice notes. Allison al

  • 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.
