Wedding planning, Amelia quickly discovered, felt entirely different when approached freely rather than under the pressure of appearances and a ticking contractual clock.

"I don't even know where to start," she admitted, sitting cross-legged on their bed surrounded by bridal magazines Rosa had enthusiastically procured, along with a laptop open to at least six different wedding planning websites. "Last time, everything was decided for me. A stylist picked my dress. A venue was already booked b

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 86: A New Generation

    Nearly a year after Victor's passing, life gradually found its way back to a gentler rhythm, grief settling into the quieter, more manageable ache of genuine remembrance rather than the sharp immediacy of fresh loss. It was during this tender season of healing that Robin called with news that brought fresh, unexpected joy into their family's continuing story."Mom, Dad," she said, her face glowing with the same particular happiness Amelia remembered from her own pregnancy announcements years earlier, "we have some exciting news. I'm pregnant."Amelia felt overwhelming joy wash over her, tears springing immediately to her eyes as she processed the beautiful, unexpected gift of this announcement arriving during such a tender season of grief and healing. "Oh, sweetheart, that's wonderful. Absolutely wonderful.""We wanted to tell you both first," Robin continued, Marcus visible beside her on the video call, equally radiant with excitement. "We're due in the spring. I keep thinking about

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him    Chapter 84: Robin and Marcus's Wedding

    The wedding, when it finally arrived a year after that unforgettable graduation evening, brought Amelia and Damian full circle in a way that left both of them repeatedly, unexpectedly emotional throughout the entire planning process watching their daughter navigate the same joyful decisions they'd once made themselves, choosing a venue, a dress, a guest list built entirely around genuine relationship rather than obligation. "She wants the ceremony in the memorial garden," Amelia told Damian one evening, reviewing venue details with her daughter over video call while Robin excitedly described her vision. "Near Dad's memorial stone. She says she wants him present, in whatever way that's possible." "That's beautiful," Damian said, genuine emotion evident in his voice. "A perfect choice, honestly." Robin, overhearing this exchange during their call, added her own thoughtful explanation. "I've always loved that garden. It feels like it holds so much of our family's story grief transfo

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 85: Victor's Legacy

    The call came on a quiet Tuesday morning, nearly three years after Robin's wedding, Victor's longtime housekeeper's voice unsteady with worry as she explained that he'd been found unresponsive in his study, taken by ambulance to the same hospital that had once treated his stroke years earlier."We're on our way," Damian said, already moving toward the door, Amelia close behind him, both of them gripped by a fear that felt disturbingly familiar despite the years that had passed since that first frightening health crisis.They arrived to find Victor's doctor waiting with an expression that told Amelia, even before he spoke, that this news would be different from the cautiously optimistic updates they'd received after his stroke."His heart," Dr. Reyes explained gently, guiding them to a private room. "A significant cardiac event, compounded by decades of stress on his system. We're doing everything we can, but I want to be honest with you both the prognosis is serious. You should prepar

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 83: Graduation Day

    Robin's graduation from Northwestern arrived four years after that tearful driveway goodbye, the ceremony itself bringing a wave of profound, complicated emotion as Amelia watched her daughter cross the stage to receive her diploma, cap and gown replacing the small, uncertain teenager who'd once worried so deeply about losing a childhood friendship. "I can't believe how fast that went," Amelia whispered to Damian, tears already streaming freely as Robin's name was called, watching her daughter's confident, radiant smile as she accepted her diploma. "Four years, and yet it feels like she just left home yesterday." "She's built something remarkable there," Damian said, his own voice thick with emotion. "Look at everything she's accomplished." Indeed, Robin's college years had brought accomplishment after accomplishment the mentorship program she'd piloted at the foundation had inspired a senior thesis project studying youth literacy interventions, published research that had already a

  • Married to the Cold Billionaire After Betraying Him   Chapter 82: Robin's News

    The call came on an ordinary Tuesday evening, Robin's face appearing on the video screen with a particular glow that Amelia recognized instantly, even before her daughter said a single word."You look happy," Amelia said, settling onto the couch with Damian to properly focus on the call. "Suspiciously happy, actually. What's going on?"Robin laughed, unable to suppress her evident excitement. "I met someone. His name's Marcus not the same Marcus from the foundation, obviously, different person entirely. We've been seeing each other for a few months now, actually, but I wanted to wait until I was sure it was serious before telling you both.""And now you're sure?" Damian asked, genuine interest evident in his expression."I think so," Robin said, something vulnerable and hopeful entering her voice. "He's studying environmental policy, actually. We met at a joint event between our programs. He's kind, and thoughtful, and he actually challenges me intellectually in ways I really value."
