THE BILLIONAIRE'S RELUCTANT WIFE CHAPTER 122
I LIKE THE ICE..The sun rose slowly over the Vandell estate, warm light slipping through the wide windows and painting soft gold across the marble floors. The servants moved about quietly, cleaning up what little remained from the previous night’s birthday celebration. The air still carried a faint trace of flowers and wine, though the grand hall now stood silent and orderly again.Upstairs, Abigail stretched lazily in bed, the morning calm wrapping around her like a blanket. She turned slightly, her gaze falling on Luke, who had already risen. He stood near the window, shirtless, his broad shoulders catching the sunlight. His expression was unreadable as always, though his posture gave away a trace of thoughtfulness.“Good morning,” she said softly, her voice still heavy with sleep.He glanced over his shoulder, the corner of his lips twitching. “Morning.”She pushed herself up, brushing hair from her face. “Did you sleep well?”“I slept,” he answered simply, turning back to the win

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY..The moment the “Happy Birthday” chant died down, the estate seemed to exhale. The music softened into the background, warm and elegant, and the staff began moving quietly to serve drinks. Maya guided a pair of servers toward the long table where plates of delicate appetizers waited. Candles flickered, painting soft shadows on the ribbons and flowers Abigail had carefully chosen.Luke stood at the center of it all, his broad frame commanding attention even when he said nothing. His hand remained loosely wrapped around Abigail’s, the only sign that he acknowledged the effort around him. His eyes, sharp as always, scanned the hall, lingering briefly on the decorations before sweeping over the faces of the guests who began arriving in small groups.Not many were invited. Abigail and Maya had been deliberate. It wasn’t meant to be a grand show for society, but an intimate gathering family, a few trusted friends, and staff who cared deeply for the Vandell household.Kat

Luke had spent most of the day at Kate’s mansion without protest, though anyone who knew him well would have seen the faint signs of impatience underneath. He wasn’t the kind of man who liked having his time directed by others, and yet, because it was his mother, he allowed it. Abigail was grateful for that. She had spent every hour silently watching him, measuring his mood, praying he wouldn’t suddenly decide to return to the estate early. The estate was ready now. Maya had sent her a quiet message through one of the staff that everything was in place balloons, ribbons, the cake, the elegant table settings, the music. The servants had done their part with careful hands, and Maya had added her natural brightness to the rooms, making them glow with warmth. Abigail’s heart fluttered each time she thought of it. But the hardest part was still ahead: bringing Luke home without making him suspicious. By late afternoon, Kate finally excused herself to her private sitting room, saying she
THE BILLIONAIRE'S RELUCTANT WIFE CHAPTER 119
The morning of Luke’s birthday broke with a soft stillness. The Vandell estate was not where he had woken up, but at Kate’s mansion. He rarely stayed overnight there anymore, but his mother had pressed him firmly the evening before. She had insisted that she needed his company for a night, making it seem like it was nothing more than a whim of hers. Luke, though suspicious of her sudden warmth, had agreed after she had pressed long enough. Abigail had been the one who asked Kate for help. She had pleaded with her mother-in-law to make sure Luke stayed over at her mansion. That was the only way she and Maya could have the time to prepare the Vandell estate for the birthday surprise. Abigail knew Luke hated surprises, but she wanted to give him something different this time. She wanted to show him he was worth celebrating, even if he had long stopped caring about his own birthday. When Abigail arrived early that morning at Kate’s mansion, her heart beat quickly. She had barely slept.
THE BILLIONAIRE'S RELUCTANT WIFE CHAPTER 118
The day before Luke’s birthday began like any other, but Abigail woke with a restless feeling in her chest. She sat up in bed while the morning light poured through the tall curtains of the Vandell estate. Her heart raced, not from fear, but from excitement and nerves. Everything she had been planning with Maya for days now was about to fall into place, but there was one final detail she needed Luke out of the house for one night. It sounded easier in her mind, but in reality, convincing Luke Vandell to leave his own home, even for a single evening, was no small task. He was a man of control, a man who liked to know every detail of his space. He had lived through betrayals and schemes, and his instinct was always to keep his guard up. Abigail knew if she asked him directly, he would see through her. He might not even argue loudly; he might just arch his brow and refuse. So she thought of the only person who could influence him in ways no one else could his mother, Kate. After br
