My Possessive Billionaire Chapter 17
Chapter 17Leilani's POVBy the time I reached the penthouse, my arms felt like they were vibrating from carrying Lily’s bags all day. Every muscle in my body was screaming for me to just drop to the floor and stay there.But as the elevator doors opened, the smell of home-cooked garlic pasta hit me. Timothy was in the kitchen, his sleeves rolled up, looking more relaxed than I’d seen him in weeks."Surprise," he said, walking over and wrapping his arms around me. I tried not to wince as my sore muscles protested. He pulled back, searching my face. "You look completely drained, Lei. That office of yours is turning into a sweatshop.""It was just... a very busy day," I managed to say, leaning my head against his chest. I felt like a fraud."Well, forget the office," he whispered, kissing the top of my head. "I called my assistant. I’m taking the next two days off. And I talked to you, so you’re taking them off too. No excuses. We haven't had a real conversation in days, let alone

Chapter 16 Leilani's POV The lunch was finally over, but the weight of it followed me back into the kitchen. My hands were shaking as I scraped the leftovers into the bin. I just wanted to hide in a corner and breathe, but the Manor never allowed for rest. "You look like you've seen a ghost, Parker," a voice whispered beside me. I turned to see Ehra, a young maid who had started a few months before me. She was busy polishing a set of crystal glasses, her eyes bright with a curiosity that made me nervous. Ehra was nice, but she was a talker—the kind of person who lived for the gossip that flowed through the service corridors. "Just a long shift," I muttered, focusing on the sink. "Is it true?" Ehra leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial hum. "The girls in the laundry room were saying you're staying in the city. Not in a boarding house, but in a real apartment. Do you... do you live with someone?" I froze. I could feel the hair on the back of my neck stan

Chapter 15Leilani's POVThe back entrance of the Beckett Manor was always cold, but today, the air felt like it was made of needles. I was kneeling in the grand foyer, a bucket of soapy water beside me and a small brush in my hand. Mrs. Gable had insisted that the intricate marble patterns needed to be cleaned by hand before the "afternoon guests" arrived.I was mid-scrub, my back screaming in protest, when the heavy front doors swung open.I didn't look up. I knew the rules. Eyes down. Be a shadow. But the sound of a familiar, high-pitched laugh stopped my heart mid-beat.It was Lily.I froze, my fingers gripping the scrub brush so hard the plastic bit into my palm. I kept my head bowed, my hair falling over my face like a curtain, praying she would just walk past. But the clicking of her designer heels stopped right in front of my bucket."Careful, dear," Lily’s voice said, sounding sweet and airy—the voice she used for people she thought were beneath her. "You almost splash

Chapter 14Leilani's POVThe exhaustion wasn't just in my muscles anymore; it was in my bones. Every morning, I woke up in Timothy’s silk sheets feeling like I’d been beaten. My hands were beginning to look like they belonged to someone twenty years older—red, chapped, and perpetually smelling of ammonia.But the physical pain was nothing compared to the psychological warfare of Mrs. Gable.If Molly Beckett was the architect of my misery, Mrs. Gable was the contractor. She knew exactly who I was. Molly had clearly told her that I wasn't just a new hire; I was a problem to be scrubbed away."You missed a spot on the wainscoting, Parker," she barked, her sensible shoes clicking sharply against the library’s parquet floor.I was on my hands and knees, my vision blurring from the fumes of the heavy-duty wood polish. "I've gone over this room twice, Mrs. Gable.""Then go over it a third time," she snapped, leaning down so her shadow fell over me. "Perhaps at that club you worked at,

Chapter 13Leilani's POVThe hardest part about lying to Timothy wasn't the words—it was the way I had to push him away to make the lie work.Two days after my mother was moved to a standard recovery room, I stood in the middle of the penthouse, watching Timothy stare at a stack of documents on the kitchen island. He looked exhausted, the shadows under his eyes proving that he’d been trying to run a multi-billion dollar empire from a hospital chair."Timothy, go back to the office," I said, my voice firmer than I felt.He looked up, startled. "What? No, Lei. I’m staying here. The doctors said your mom might start physical therapy tomorrow, and I wanted to be there to—""No," I interrupted, crossing my arms. "You’ve done enough. More than enough. But you’re a CEO, not a nurse. Your board members are calling every ten minutes, and your assistant looks like she’s about to have a nervous breakdown in the lobby.""I don't care about the board," he muttered, though he looked at his bu

Chapter 12 Leilani's POV The morning after Sarah and Raffy visited felt like a fragile bubble. My mother was sleeping peacefully, her color finally returning, and Timothy was... he was just there. No laptop, no frantic phone calls to the office. Just a man sitting in a cramped hospital room, peeling an orange for me because he noticed I hadn't eaten. I watched his hands—the steady, capable hands of a CEO—carefully removing the pith. It felt surreal. "You're staring again," he murmured, a playful glint in his eyes as he handed me a slice. "I'm just waiting for the catch," I admitted, taking the fruit. "Everything is so... quiet. I'm not used to quiet, Timothy. My life is usually a series of loud disasters." Timothy leaned back, his eyes softening. "There is no catch, Leilani. For once, the disaster is over. Can't you just accept that you're allowed to be happy?" I wanted to. I really did. But before I could answer, the door pushed open and a nurse stepped in, looki
