Isabella Hart stood by the window of her penthouse, staring out at the city lights below.

Her phone lay on the table beside her.

Silent.

No new messages.

No calls from her lawyers.

No updates from her team.

Just silence.

And silence, to Isabella, was dangerous.

She picked up her glass of wine and took a slow sip, but the taste didn’t calm her.

Nothing did.

For the past week, everything had been going according to plan.

The injunction had been filed.

The media had picked up the story.

The board

  • Married to the Billionaire ceo: twins involved   Chapter 61: A Day at the Beach

    Julian woke up early.For the first time in days, he didn’t wake up to a phone full of emergencies.No urgent emails.No panicked board members.No legal crises waiting to explode.Just quiet.Just sunlight slipping through the curtains.Just the sound of the city waking up outside his window.Julian lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling.Then he reached for his phone.There was a message from Elena.Elena: Good morning. The boys asked if you were coming by today.Julian smiled.He typed back immediately.Julian: I am. What time?A few seconds later, her reply came.Elena: Whenever you’re free. They’ve been asking about you all morning.Julian’s chest tightened.He sat up slowly.For the past week, he had been buried in work.Fighting Isabella’s traps.Fixing the damage she caused.Trying to keep his company from collapsing.And through it all, Elena had been there.Checking on him.Sending messages.Making sure he was okay.Even when he pushed her away.Even when he tried to

    Isabella Hart stood by the window of her penthouse, staring out at the city lights below.Her phone lay on the table beside her.Silent.No new messages.No calls from her lawyers.No updates from her team.Just silence.And silence, to Isabella, was dangerous.She picked up her glass of wine and took a slow sip, but the taste didn’t calm her.Nothing did.For the past week, everything had been going according to plan.The injunction had been filed.The media had picked up the story.The board had panicked.Investors had started asking questions.Julian’s empire had trembled.And Isabella had watched it all happen with a smile on her face.She had thought she was winning.She had thought Julian would come crawling back.She had thought he would realize that no one understood him like she did.That no one could handle his world the way she could.That no one could love him the way she once had.But now…Now everything was falling apart.Her phone buzzed.A message from her lead lawyer.

  • Married to the Billionaire ceo: twins involved   Chapter 59: When the Storm Finally Passed

    A week passed.Seven long days of phone calls, legal documents, emergency meetings, and sleepless nights.Seven days of Julian fighting Isabella’s traps one by one.Seven days of headlines, board pressure, and investors asking questions he didn’t always have answers to.But by the end of the week, the storm had finally begun to clear.The injunction was denied.The frozen accounts were released.The European distributors returned to the negotiating table.The board stopped panicking.And Isabella’s legal team had no choice but to retreat.Julian sat in his office late that evening, staring at the final email on his screen.CASE DISMISSED.INJUNCTION DENIED.EUROPEAN EXPANSION AGREEMENT REMAINS ACTIVE.For the first time in days, Julian let out a breath.His shoulders dropped.His tie was loosened.His shirt was wrinkled.His eyes were tired.But he was free.Isabella had lost.At least for now.Julian picked up his phone and opened Elena’s chat.He stared at her name for a long moment

  • Married to the Billionaire ceo: twins involved   Chapter 58: The Morning After

    Julian arrived at Vance International just after seven in the morning.The building was already awake.Security guards nodded as he passed. Assistants moved quickly through the halls. Phones rang. Elevators opened and closed. Everything looked normal on the surface.But Julian could feel it.Something was wrong.His phone had been buzzing since before sunrise.News alerts.Missed calls.Messages from board members.Requests from journalists.And one message that made his blood run cold.Marcus: Sir, Isabella’s legal team filed the injunction documents last night. The hearing is set for Thursday.Julian walked into his office without greeting anyone.The door shut behind him.For a moment, he simply stood there.Then he threw his coat over the chair and opened his laptop.The first headline appeared on his screen.VANCE INTERNATIONAL FACES LEGAL CHALLENGE OVER EUROPEAN EXPANSIONHis jaw clenched.He clicked another link.BILLIONAIRE JULIAN VANCE UNDER PRESSURE AS MAJOR DEAL COLLAPSESA

  • Married to the Billionaire ceo: twins involved   Chapter 57 — Just Missed Them

    Julian drove faster than he should have.The city disappeared behind him in streaks of gray and gold, replaced by open highway, dry hills, and eventually the blue line of the Pacific.His hands gripped the steering wheel.His mind kept replaying Marcus’s message.Someone was photographing the property.Isabella’s people are watching Elena and the boys.Every red light felt personal.Every slow car in front of him felt like an enemy.By the time he reached Santa Barbara, the sun had begun to sink, painting the sky in shades of orange and violet.Julian pulled onto the quiet street and slowed.There.The rented beach house.Elena’s car in the driveway.A light on inside.And across the street, parked too casually beneath a tree, a dark sedan with two people inside.Julian’s jaw tightened.He didn’t stop.He didn’t look at them.He drove past the house once, then circled back and parked a few doors down.Then he called Marcus.“They’re here,” Julian said quietly.“I see them, sir. Two me

  • Married to the Billionaire ceo: twins involved   Chapter 56 — Isabella

    Isabella walked out of the Meridian with her head high.Her heels clicked against the marble floor, sharp and steady.Behind her, Julian remained at the table.She didn’t look back.Looking back would mean she cared whether he was watching.And Isabella Moreau had learned a long time ago that the moment you looked back was the moment you lost.The valet brought her car around.She slid into the back seat, closed the door, and let out a slow breath.Her hands were trembling.She noticed immediately and curled them into fists.He said no.Not hesitantly.Not reluctantly.Not with that familiar flicker of longing she had counted on.He said stop like she disgusted him.Isabella stared out the window as the city slid past.“Back to the hotel,” she told the driver.Then her phone buzzed.She answered without checking the screen.“Tell me.”A man’s voice came through, low and professional.“We’re still tailing Ms. Moore.”Isabella’s mood lifted slightly.“Good. Where is she?”“Still at the
