The taxi stopped in front of the old house. It looked smaller than I remembered. My heart pounded as I stepped out, clutching the Supreme Black Card tightly in my pocket.

Before I could even knock, the door swung open. Mrs. Larson stood there with a wide smile.

“Claudia, my dear! You came,” she said, opening her arms for a hug.

I quickly stepped back and walked past her into the house. Lucas was sprawled on the couch, scrolling through his phone. The moment he saw me, he sat up straight.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE’S TIMID WIFE    Epilogue

    Five Years LaterThe soft morning sunlight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Cooper-Harrison Villa, casting a golden glow over the sprawling garden. Laughter echoed from outside — high-pitched, joyful, and infectious.Claudia stood on the balcony overlooking the backyard, a gentle smile playing on her lips as she watched the scene below. Her four-year-old son, Alexander Richard Cooper, was running across the grass with his little cousin, chasing butterflies while giggling uncontrollably. Not far behind them, her six-year-old daughter, Sophia Grace Cooper, walked carefully, holding the hand of her grandfather, Mr. Harrison, as she explained something with great seriousness.“They’re growing up so fast,” Claudia whispered, her hand instinctively resting on her slightly rounded belly. This would be their third child — another little miracle.Strong arms wrapped around her from behind, pulling her gently against a warm, solid chest. She leaned back instinctively, meltin

    Standing outside the orphanage again, Claudia’s heart beat faster than normal. What will happen in there? What should I expect?As she walked closer to the entrance, her legs almost gave way, but Richard held her steady.“It’s okay. Everything will be fine,” he said as he squeezed her hand gently.Claudia nodded and took a deep breath.I had already made plans for Claudia to meet her sister. Yesterday, after the discovery, Richard went to the Harrison Group to investigate and found the girl. She was six years older than Claudia, and they looked so alike.He told her everything. She couldn’t contain her happiness, and they decided to introduce them at the orphanage.“Oh, Mr. Richard and Miss Claudia, you’re here. Please, have a seat,” the director said as we sat down.“Miss Claudia, there is someone I’d like you to meet,” the director continued as a lady walked in. “Her name is Melinda Harrison.”The moment the words left the director’s mouth, I froze.“Her name is Melinda Harrison,” t

    At Richard’s penthouse, Richard barged into the house and rushed upstairs with Claudia in his arms.“Call the family doctor,” he ordered his assistant.“Yes, sir,” Pedro replied as he hurried out.Richard gently laid Claudia on the bed and sat beside her, holding her hand.Twenty minutes later, the doctor walked into the room. Richard immediately stood up to give him space. A few minutes after that, the examination was done.“Doctor, how is she?” Richard asked, fear evident in his voice.“Her ribs are fractured. How could you let this happen, Richard? She is pregnant, for Christ’s sake,” the doctor said.Richard’s fists turned white as he clenched them tightly.“I will make them pay,” he muttered under his breath.“The baby is stable, but the mother is not in good shape. She needs complete rest for now. She should feel better in a few days after taking these drugs,” the doctor said, handing Richard a bag of medication.“Thank you, Doctor,” Richard said as the doctor left.He sat besid

    Mrs. Cooper stood by the window, fingers gripping the heavy curtain as she stared out at the driveway. Her expression slowly softened, a small, satisfied smile curving her lips.Today, Lia was coming home.“My daughter,” she whispered fondly.Lia wasn’t just anyone. She was the one she had chosen, raised, molded, and loved as her own. Strong, confident, elegant… everything Claudia could never be.Claudia.Her face hardened, anger surging through her chest like poison. Ever since that girl wormed her way into Richard’s life, everything had shifted. Richard no longer listened to her the way he once did. He had become distant, fiercely protective of someone who had no place in their family.It disgusted her.The sound of a car pulling into the driveway made her turn sharply. Anticipation lifted her heart.Lia had arrived.Mrs. Cooper walked outside with controlled steps, but the moment Lia stepped out of the car, pride swelled in her chest. She pulled her into a tight embrace.“Welcome b

    A ray of morning sunlight crept through a small opening in the window, falling gently on Claudia’s face as she lay on the bed. Slowly, she opened her eyes.She stretched her body and looked around the room. Her mouth fell open in surprise. The room was huge. The decorations were beautiful, and the king-size bed she had slept on made it feel even more luxurious. She sat up, still taking it all in, before getting down and walking toward the bathroom.As soon as she stepped inside, her eyes widened in shock.“A jacuzzi?” she exclaimed. “This is crazy.”Her voice drew the attention of a maid standing outside her door. The maid quickly stepped in.“Ma’am, are you okay?” she asked with concern.“Yes… I’m fine,” Claudia replied, slightly embarrassed.“Okay, ma. Breakfast will be ready in a minute,” the maid said, then paused. “Mr. Richard said I should help you get dressed and come downstairs.”“Oh, it’s okay. Let me clean up first. I will be down in a moment,” Claudia said.She walked back

    Claudia looked so fragile and soft, just like a baby, as she slept peacefully beside Richard in the car.Suddenly, the car came to a halt, jolting him out of his thoughts.“We’re here, sir,” the driver reminded him.Richard stepped out and walked around to the other side. He gazed at her peaceful face as she murmured some inaudible words in her sleep. Carefully, he scooped her into his arms and carried her into the villa.His mother stood outside the door with a blank expression that quickly turned cold as he approached with Claudia in his arms.“Stop right there, Richard!” she thundered.He paused. The sudden command woke Claudia. She jerked awake in his arms, looking scared and disoriented. She tried to jump down, but he held her firmly so she wouldn’t fall.“How dare you bring this slut into my house?” his mother said, her voice dripping with disgust.Claudia looked terrified. She quickly hid behind him, her body trembling slightly.“Mom, can we talk after I take her inside?” Richa
