Daniel POV

5 days laters, June 13th

The evening lights covered the city in shades of dark blue clouds. The sun was already fading from my window, and manhattan came alive with its usual rhythm of horns, lights, life in motion. But all I could think about was her.

Vanessa.

Our dinner reservation was at 6:30. I had shaved, dressed into a neat casual white t-shirt and trousers. I wanted this evening to feel different for her. Free from the shadows of Edward and Jules, free from Kaz, free from Wendy. Just the two of us, two people who had endured enough chaos and deserved a slice of peace.

I adjusted my collar in the mirror, my thoughts restless. Tonight mattered. Vanessa had been fractured, wounded, betrayed, and all I wanted was to remind her that she could still trust someone. That she could still feel desired. Not as Lady Red, not as Edward’s ex, but as herself.

A knock broke through my thoughts.

Sharp. Unwelcome.

I didn’t need to guess who it was.

With a slow exhale, I set my new p

    Vanessa’s POV5 days later, June 13thI had barely slept well in days, since the incident. The fashion house was doing very well, I guess the lady red saga has both a good and bad consequence for me.Tobias hadn’t stopped calling, and Edward too. His Elder sister Angela, even reached out to me as well. But all I wanted was peace. And space from Edward’s manipulative family. Liam and I are leaving for the UK tomorrow, to be with Mandi and the kids. It’s the only way I got Liam not to ask questions about moving out of the Mansion.Little did he know that things would become even more different when we return back to New York. If we return back.Bella has been so accommodating and kind to me these last couple of days. I can’t even thank her enough. I told her about the date Daniel suggested, and she said to go for it. Hopefully, it helps me cope with the whole mess with Edward.***Later that evening,The wicker basket creaked beneath my feet as the hot air balloon drifted higher, the

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 113: Broken Glass

    Edward POVI didn’t think. I just grabbed her.Vanessa’s face was pale, stricken, her eyes appeared glassy with tears she was about to shed as the headline kept replaying on her phone screen. Lady Red. That name, dripping with ridicule from my mother’s mouth, as it circulated through the mansion like shame. My chest burned with fury, but I shoved it down long enough to tug Vanessa away before she shattered into a thousand pieces in front of Jules’ weird expression.Her hand felt lifeless in mine, her feet stumbling on the stairs as if she didn’t know where she was. I guided her down the hall, past her room, Liam’s room, until we reached my study. The door shut behind us with a dull click.She ripped her hand free the moment we were alone.“Don’t you dare touch me,” she choked out.The sight of her, tears streaking her face, her body trembling as though the air itself hurt. It nearly destroyed me. “Nessa,” I said softly, reaching for her again.She shoved me back, her voice rising,

    Vanessa POVIt hurt to go back.Not just because of everything that happened in the last few days, but it felt like a piece of myself was breaking away. And I knew exactly why I was feeling it. I wasn’t packing to redecorate or to organize. I was packing to leave the mansion.Liam sat on the bed, swinging his legs while holding his favorite buzz light year toy, the one Edward had bought him during his birthday. He watched me quietly for a while, then started asking questions about Edward nonstop.He asked them few days ago but I didn’t respond to all.“Mom, when can we see him again?”“Do you think he misses me?”“Do you think he’s sad without us?”Each time, I swallowed the truth and gave him the safest lie I could manage. “Of course he misses you, baby.”I froze, a sweater half-folded in my hands to place in the mini box Harris and Cole brought me.“We’re… going to see him soon.” I added.“Okay mom,” he said, his voice small. “I miss him. Why can’t we just stay with him?”It was the

    Edward’s POVThe study felt cooler than usual tonight, even after I turned on the heater. Shadows from the lamplight spread wide across the amber desk, the air felt tense, and my liquor sat in a round glass untouched. The pen in my hand felt heavier than it should have. Maybe it’s because I knew what the document in front of me meant, even if the lawyer sitting opposite thought this was just another business transaction.Termination of the marriage contract.I signed my name with slow, deliberate strokes, every curve of the pen felt like it was cutting into my chest. Across from me, Tobias leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, watching me with that older-brother calmness he’d perfected over the years. The lawyer cleared his throat softly, sliding the papers closer for the final signature on my end.“She’ll have to sign tonight when she comes back,” the lawyer said, like it was nothing. “It will be official the moment she does.”My hand paused mid-stroke. Tonight.Would she even bot

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 110- Loose You To Love Me

    Vanessa POVJust as Edward squeezed my hand again, the creak of a door echoed down the hallway.My stomach tightened.Alessa stepped out of the guest room across from the sitting area, barefoot and smug, wrapped in one of the mansion’s silk robes like she owned the place. Her hair was loose, falling in smooth waves over her shoulders. She looked rested. Too rested.Her eyes landed on us, lighting up with false surprise.“Oh,” she purred. “Didn’t know we had company.”I turned slowly toward her, refusing to rise. Refusing to flinch.“Vanessa,” she added, with a perfectly sweet smile. “Lovely to see you again.”I didn’t answer.Because there was no version of polite that would come out of my mouth right now.Her gaze moved to where Edward and I stood by the couch, our hands still tangled, mine now cold with restraint. She took in the closeness, the comfort, and something bitter crept into her expression. A twist of jealousy? Satisfaction? I couldn’t tell. Maybe both.Edward turned to he
