THE BILLIONAIRE'S DIRTY SECRET: A FORBIDDEN SECOND CHANCE Chapter one hundred and twenty seven
THE CAT PROBLEMROMAN'S POVI knew something was wrong the moment Bria walked through the door.She was carrying a plastic pet carrier. Inside it, something moved. Then I heard a low, angry sound. It was not a normal meow.Noelle sat up on the couch right away. Her face lit up.“Milo!”Bria laughed and set the carrier on the floor.“Someone missed a certain human, ” she said. “So I brought him. You’re welcome.”Noelle was already on her knees opening the carrier. The moment the door opened, a fluffy grey cat stepped out, looked around the penthouse, and then locked eyes with me.I swear the cat’s eyes narrowed.“Hey, buddy,” I said carefully.Milo’s ears went flat.Noelle picked him up and hugged him. The cat purred for her right away. He rubbed his head under her chin like she was his favorite person in the world. Then he looked at me again over her shoulder.The purring stopped.Bria crossed her arms and grinned.“Oh, this is going to be good.”“What?” I asked.“He hates men,” Bria

MORNING LIGHTNOELLE'S POVI woke up slowly.The first thing I felt was warmth. Roman’s arms were around me. My head rested on his chest. I could hear his steady heartbeat under my ear. The room was quiet. Soft morning light came through the curtains.I stayed still for a moment. I did not want to move yet. His skin was warm against mine. One of his hands rested on my back. The other was near my waist. He was still asleep. I was comfortable this way. I loved it.I gently lifted my head a little and looked at his face. He looked peaceful. The tired lines he usually carried were softer now. I watched him for a while. Then his eyes opened.He looked straight at me.“Good morning,” he said in a low, sleepy voice.“Good morning,” I answered.We stayed like that, just looking at each other. No rush. No words for a few seconds. His hand moved slowly up my back. I felt safe. I felt wanted.I shifted closer. My leg slid over his. He turned a little so we faced each other better. Our faces were

NEW SOILLIANA'S POVThe morning sun felt warm on my hands.I was kneeling in the small garden behind the clinic. The soil was dark and soft. I pushed my fingers into it and felt the cool earth under my nails. Around me, other patients worked quietly on their own little plots. Someone was watering tomato plants. Someone else was pulling weeds. It was peaceful and exactly what I needed.I had been here for a while now. The days felt slower. The nights were less loud inside my head. For the first time in a long time, I was not fighting everything.An older woman named Ruth worked in the garden bed next to mine. She had short grey hair and kind eyes and she always had some candy and nuts to share. She always wore a big straw hat. Today she was planting small yellow flowers.“You’re getting better at this,” Ruth said with a small smile. “Your hands are steady today.”I looked down at my hands. She was right. They were not shaking.“I like the quiet,” I said. “It helps.”Ruth nodded and ke

BRIA’S RULESROMAN'S POVI was standing in the kitchen when the doorbell rang.Noelle was resting on the couch under a soft blanket. She was watching a show. She had been quiet most of the morning. Not sad exactly, just tired. I had ordered food earlier because I did not trust myself to cook anything good enough for her. The containers were still on the counter, waiting. She said she wasn't hungry. I planned on heating it up for her later.I opened the door.Bria stood there holding two big bags of groceries. Her hair was pulled up in a messy bun. She looked ready for battle.“Move out of the way,” she said.I stepped aside. She walked straight in like she owned the place.“Where is she?”“In the living room.”Bria walked past me without another word. I followed her. When she saw Noelle on the couch, her whole face changed. She put the bags down carefully and went to her best friend.“Hey, baby,” she said softly. “How are you feeling? Are you tired? Do you feel dizzy? Does anything hu

COMING HOMENOELLE'S POVThe doctor smiled at me as he checked the last of the papers on his clipboard.“You are cleared to leave,” he said in a kind voice. “No serious injuries. Just rest, drink water, and take it easy for a few days. The marks on your wrists will heal. If you feel dizzy or very tired, come back right away.”I nodded.“Thank you.”Roman stood beside the bed the whole time. He had not left the hospital since last night that they brought me in. His clothes were still the same ones from the cabin. His eyes looked tired, but every time I looked at him, he gave me a small, steady smile.Bria sat in the chair near the window. She looked happier now that I was awake and talking, but she still watched me like she was afraid I might disappear again.A nurse came in with the discharge papers. I signed them slowly. My hand still felt a little weak, but it was steady enough.Roman helped me sit up. He put my shoes on for me without saying anything. Then he held out my jacket.“R

WAKING UPNOELLE'S POVThe first thing I felt was the soft beeping of a machine.It was steady and slow. Beep… beep… beep. The sound pulled me up from a deep, heavy sleep. My eyes felt sticky. My head felt like it was full of cotton.I opened my eyes a little.White ceiling. Soft white light. The smell of clean sheets and something sharp, like medicine. I was in a hospital bed. A thin blanket covered me up to my chest. Something was clipped to my finger, and a small tube was in the back of my hand.For a few seconds I just stared, trying to understand where I was.Then the memories came back all at once.The alley behind the office. The cloth over my mouth. The dark cabin. Liana’s voice. Roman’s arms around me outside as police lights flashed red and blue.I had passed out. That was the last thing I remembered. The feeling of Roman holding me while my legs gave out.I took a slow breath. My chest felt tight, but not from pain. From everything that had happened.I expected to feel ange
