2025-01-09 10:00:21Caroline’s Point of View
The morning sun casts a soft glow across the house as I grab my bag and step into the hallway, ready for work. My phone buzzes in my hand, a gentle reminder from my calendar about the meetings I have scheduled for the day. I’m preoccupied, mentally running through my tasks, when a voice stops me in my tracks.
“Knoxx, are you ready?” Dolly’s voice echoes from the living room.
I pause, my brow furrowing. What is she up to now?
I step toward the room, and there she is, sitting on the couch with an air of practiced innocence. Her hand rests lightly on her baby bump as she looks up at Knoxx, who’s standing a few feet away.
“Take me to my pregnancy check-up today,” she says sweetly, tilting her head as if she’s just made the most reasonable request in the world.
Knoxx’s expression tightens slightly, but he nods. “Alright. Let me get my keys.”

Secret Billionaire Divorcee Chapter 219
Penelope’s Point of ViewI’m staring at my untouched cup of tea.The warmth has faded, just like my ability to pretend that everything is fine.Across from me, Caroline leans against the display counter, arms crossed gently over her chest. The jewelry shop is quiet this afternoon—just the soft hum of the ceiling fan and the faint clink of metal as she sorts a few tiny charms on a tray.She glances at me, then at the cold tea I haven’t touched.“You okay?” she asks finally, not pushing, but not pretending she doesn’t notice.I hesitate, then shake my head. “I don’t know.”She walks over and pulls out the stool beside mine, sitting down like she’s settling in for something real.“I’ve been thinking about Lorenzo,” I say quietly, my finge

Caroline’s Point of ViewThe door closes behind us with a soft click.Adrian sets his keys on the counter and gives me a tired smile. “Home sweet home.”I don’t smile back. I just stare at the blood staining the sleeve of his shirt.He notices. “It’s not as bad as it looks.”I cross my arms tightly. “You said that the last time.”He shrugs. “And I was right then, too.”My jaw tightens. “Let me see it.”He sighs but doesn’t argue. He walks toward the bathroom and I follow, watching every step he takes. His limp is faint but there. My chest aches.Inside, he peels off his shirt slowly. I catch my breath.The burn on his arm is deeper than he made it sound. The bruise blooming across his ribs is c

Knoxx’s Point of ViewThe smoke clings to everything—my jacket, my throat, the inside of my damn lungs.The second we’re out, the air feels thin, too light to hold the weight pressing against my ribs. Fire crews are yelling. Someone pulls Adrian aside to check him for burns, but he pushes past them, scanning the area like a madman.And then I hear her.“Adrian!”Her voice cuts through everything.Caroline.She runs toward him, eyes wide, hands trembling. She doesn’t even look at me.It’s like I’m not here.“Caroline,” Adrian breathes, and then she’s in his arms.She grabs the front of his soot-covered shirt and buries her face against his chest. No hesitation. No second thought. Just straight to him.&nbs

Adrian’s Point of ViewThe exhibition hall is buzzing with energy. Booths are lit up in every direction, showcasing jewelry, designs, tools. Voices blend in a symphony of small talk, sales pitches, and the occasional excited laughter when someone finds something they love.But I’m not here for any of that.I’m here for her.And for Liam.“Excuse me,” I ask a staffer near the entrance, “is the Hill & Bloom booth in this wing?”She checks the tablet in her hands and nods. “Yes, sir. Local vendors are in Row C, right-hand side. They’re at the end.”“Thanks.”My heart thuds as I walk, eyes scanning. I know I shouldn’t feel this nervous, but I do. I haven’t seen her since that night she fell asleep on my shoulder. Since she hugged me li

Knoxx’s Point of ViewThe whiskey burns going down, but I don’t flinch.I don’t even blink.I pour another glass. Let it fill to the rim before I bring it to my lips.The house is quiet. Too quiet. Elle’s at her aunt’s place tonight. I told her I had meetings. Told myself I needed time to think.But all I’ve done is sit here. Alone. Drinking. Thinking.And staring at the same damn photo on my phone.Liam.He’s laughing in it. A wide, full smile, his teeth showing. His eyes crinkled at the corners.He’s not even looking at the camera—he’s looking at Caroline. She’s off to the side, probably making him laugh with one of her stupid jokes. He looks happy. Whole.I lean forward, resting my elbows on my knees, the glass still in my hand.He should’ve been laughing with me.I should’

Knoxx’s Point of ViewThe press conference room feels colder than it should.Maybe it’s the nerves. Or maybe it’s guilt. It doesn’t matter. I sit there in front of the microphone, eyes locked on the crowd of journalists filtering in—cameras, notepads, recorders.All of them waiting to hear what the CEO of Wayne & Co. is about to say.I glance at the clock behind them.Three minutes left.My heart pounds. I’ve faced shareholders before. Negotiated millions. Led boardroom takeovers. But this is different.Because this time, I’m here to burn myself down.“Sir,” my assistant whispers beside me, handing over a final document. “Press release, just in case you want to stick to the talking points.”I shake my head slowly. “No script.”He nods, lips tight.I wait until the countdown hits zero
