Leaning across the center console, his warm gaze softened as it dropped to my lips for a moment before returning to my eyes.

His voice dropped to a low murmur, filled with raw passion.

“Beautiful enough that I’m breaking every rule just being here with you.”

My heart did a sudden, violent flip, and I looked down to hide the flush creeping up my neck.

Alex’s hand reached out, his thumb catching the underside of my chin to gently tilt my face back up.

The heat of his touch was electric, bu

  • My Billionaire DOM Wants Me Back   Chapter 59

    The dread in my stomach twisted after my decision was set.What’s so wrong with telling the child's grandfather the truth? I told myself as the cautious voice in my head continued to buzz. Yes, I haven't even told the baby’s father yet. I will tell him right after. I felt exhausted. Tired of everyone else deciding what happened to my life.They had chosen my future, my marriage, and my path without ever asking what I wanted.This was the one choice I could still make for myself.No matter what, today all the pain, lies, and miseries would leave my heart.I was hoping to get it all out tonight but my fate was comically cruel as usual. The drive to the Stone mansion was suffocating. I sat with my hands clasped so tightly in my lap that my nails bit into my skin. Alex's face drifted into my mind, and the ache in my chest deepened.Part of me hoped he would be there when I arrived. If I saw him first, he would ask what I was doing here, and his presence might force the words out of

    I hated that I still expected his name to appear on my phone’s screen.I hated that some part of me still believed he would suddenly walk through the door and tell me he had a reason. A good reason. But what reason could possibly be enough?My hand constricted around the phone.“How could you leave me to deal with this alone,” I choked out, sobbing.The weight of everything crushed me, I dropped to the floor with my phone in my hands.I wished I could tell Alex that the other man was his father. But it was too late now.Dread squeezed my chest.How could my life become this complicated?I wiped my face angrily.I swore that if his father did anything that pushed me past my limit… If I lost control of everything I had been trying so hard to hold together, I would unalive myself. I thought of the child growing inside me, and the reality of suicide hit me with a wave of fear. Right there, I realized I had to fight for both my life and my child's.I gathered myself and rigidly sat by t

    My mother didn’t say anything until we got home. She led me past the garden and away from the house. Then she turned to face me. “Who is the father of your child?” My fingers curled into a fist at my sides. I opened my mouth but nothing came out. Her eyes searched mine but I made sure nothing was revealed on my face. “Nadia.” The fear I had been holding onto all day tightened around my chest. Because I knew the moment I said his name, there would be no going back. “Tell me,” my mother said. Her voice was softer than before, but I knew better than to mistake it for compassion. This was her favorite manipulation tactic, and I've experienced it since my early childhood whenever she wanted to bully me into doing something she knew I would rather not do. “Who is he?” I stared at the ground, unable to speak. “Nadia.” She stepped close and pinned me with her gaze. “Look at me.” Her tone compelled me to meet her eyes. “Is he someone I know?” I shivered in fear and remained sile

    I was halfway down the stairs when I heard my mother’s voice echo through the house. “Everyone needs to check their rooms. Now.” I stopped. The panic in her voice made my stomach twist. “What happened?” I asked. She turned toward me, her face pale, and an empty jewelry box clutched tightly in her hand. “All my gold is missing.” I blinked in shock, feigning ignorance. “What?” “My jewelry. All of it is gone.” Her furious gaze moved from one person to another, searching for an explanation. “No one leaves this house until I find out who did this.” I felt the blood drain from my face. I had been careful. I had made sure no one saw me. I thought I had covered every trace. I was wrong. A few minutes later, one of the maids came rushing in, holding something between her fingers. “Madam… I found this in Miss Nadia’s room.” My heart stopped. The gold ring. The one I hadn’t noticed slipping away. My mother gazed at it, then her eyes darted at me. “You?”

    Alex’s live video blew up. That tiny tattoo on his hand was visible for only a second, but it sent the internet into overdrive. Millions scrutinized the zoomed-in screenshots, hunting for clues and desperately trying to decode who the initial “N” stood for. Everywhere I looked, the internet was screaming. Who was she? Was she the reason he broke up with Ariella? Hide. I just need to hide. Turn off the phone. Don't look at the comments. If Mr. Stone sees this, he’ll know exactly who 'N' is. After that live stream, I was certain Alex would show up to claim me as his bride. Yet, he never appeared. My calls went straight to voicemail. My texts sat unread, and every effort to find him ended in a dead end. The avoidance felt entirely deliberate. It was as though he was playing a waiting game. I was losing my mind waiting for him. Pick up the phone, Alex. The internet was dissecting my name, and the one person who was supposed to protect me was missing in action. Is he waiting f

    I gave her a doubtful look. “Good news?” Freya nodded, failing miserably at hiding her excitement. “Didi, you’re going to want to see this. It’s all over the headlines.” My heart skipped slightly at the thought. “Freya… is it about Alex?” I studied her face, waiting for her to go on and tell me the good news. “Are you going to tell me or not?” I snapped at her, but instead of answering, she pulled out her phone and unlocked it. “I think you should see this yourself.” The moment the screen turned toward me, I froze. A live broadcast filled the display. Alexander. My Alexander. His face appeared on the screen, and I found myself staring at every detail I had missed. The way he held himself. The familiar glint in his dark eyes. The face I had spent so much time thinking about. Then I noticed the headline. My fingers tightened around the magazine in my lap. Alexander Stone officially ends his engagement with Ariella Williams. I stopped breathing. The room around me disap
