The Billionaire Fell For The Widower Chapter 80 "Who I Let In"
Vivienne stared at the message until her hands went cold.UNKNOWN: You should know Clara Nwosu isn't the only one working for your aunt. There's someone much closer to you than that. Someone who's been in your home. Around your daughter. Think carefully, Vivienne — who have you truly let inside your walls?"Lucas." Her voice came out thin. She turned the phone toward him, watching his expression shift from calm to alert in an instant.He read it twice, jaw tightening. "Monica," he said immediately. "They're trying to make you doubt Monica.""Or they're telling the truth." Vivienne pressed her fingers to her temples, exhaustion warring with a fresh, sickening wave of paranoia. "I don't know anymore, Lucas. I don't know who to trust. Every time I think we've found solid ground, someone pulls it out from under us again."Lucas took the phone gently from her hand and set it face-down on the table, then knelt in front of her, taking both her hands in his."Look at me," he said quietly.She

Vivienne read the message twice, the words settling cold and sharp into her chest.Ms. Kingston, I've traced the call. Patience isn't hiding across the country like we assumed. She's here. In the city. And she's not alone."Lucas." She turned the phone toward him, watching his expression darken as he read it. "She's here. Somewhere close.""Not alone." Lucas's jaw tightened. "Meaning what? Meridian's dissolved, Marcus is in custody, Derek's on our side now, more or less. Who's left for her to still be working with?"Vivienne dialed the detective immediately, hands steady despite the fear coiling tight in her stomach. He picked up on the first ring."Ms. Kingston. I need you to hear the rest of this carefully.""Who's with her?""We traced the call to a residential building on the east side. When my team did a discreet drive-by, they identified a second vehicle parked outside — registered to Clara Nwosu."Vivienne's breath caught. "Patrick's assistant. The one who accessed the Helena f

"Patience." Vivienne's voice came out steady, though her free hand had already found Lucas's, gripping tight. "Where are you?""Close enough." Patience's tone stayed light, almost pleasant, which made it worse. "I saw the footage this morning, along with the rest of the city. I have to say, Vivienne, I never imagined you'd let yourself be photographed like that. So undignified for a woman who once lectured this entire board on legacy and standing.""You're the one who leaked it.""I merely ensured people were watching at the right moment." Patience's voice sharpened, something cold slipping through the pleasantness now. "Though I'll admit, I hadn't expected quite so much skin on display. Tell me — was it worth it? Falling for a plumber, letting him put his hands all over you in a public elevator like some woman who never learned what dignity actually costs?"Vivienne felt her jaw tighten, fury climbing hot and immediate up her throat. "Don't talk about him.""Why not? I'm only saying
The Billionaire Fell For The Widower Chapter 77 "The Footage Nobody Was Meant to See"
Morning came slow and golden, the same soft peace from the night before still lingering in the tangled sheets, Vivienne's head resting against Lucas's bare chest, his fingers moving lazily through her hair."I could stay right here forever," she murmured, pressing a slow kiss to his sternum. "Never leave this bed. Let Kingston Holdings run itself.""I'd be fine with that arrangement." Lucas's voice was warm, sleep-thick. "Though Zuri might have opinions about us abandoning breakfast duty indefinitely."Vivienne laughed softly, the sound vibrating against his skin, and for a while neither of them moved at all, simply existing in the quiet, unhurried peace of a morning that belonged entirely to them.Her phone, charging on the nightstand, buzzed insistently, breaking the spell. She reached for it reluctantly, already bracing for whatever the day intended to demand of her.The message was from her head of security, tone clipped and urgent even through text.Ms. Kingston, I need you to ca
The Billionaire Fell For The Widower Chapter 76 "What the Dress Did to Him"
Vivienne had the recording sent to her private detective within the hour, along with strict instructions to move carefully, quietly, tracing every word Marcus had said about Patience's threat back to whatever she might already have set in motion."Find her," she told him plainly. "But don't let her know we're looking. If she's coming home, I want to know exactly what she's walking into before she gets the chance to surprise us again."That business handled, she'd spent the rest of the afternoon doing something she hadn't allowed herself in weeks — planning something just for her and Lucas, nothing to do with lawsuits or family or ghosts.She booked the small rooftop restaurant overlooking the harbor, the one with string lights and a quartet that played slow, unhurried jazz late into the evening, and told Lucas only that he needed to be ready by seven, and that he should wear something he wouldn't mind dancing in.He arrived precisely on time, and Vivienne, waiting near the entrance in
The Billionaire Fell For The Widower Chapter 75 "What Marcus Needed to Say"
Vivienne woke to sunlight and the warm, solid weight of Lucas's arm draped over her waist, and for a long moment she simply lay there, memorizing the quiet, ordinary miracle of the night before — his breathing slow and even against her hair, the city finally gone quiet beyond the windows.Her phone buzzed softly on the nightstand. She reached for it reluctantly, careful not to wake him, and felt the previous night's warmth cool slightly as she read the message from her legal team again.Marcus is requesting to see you. In person. He says it's urgent, and that it involves your mother.She'd fallen asleep without responding. She read it a second time now, something heavy settling back into her chest."You're thinking loudly," Lucas murmured behind her, voice thick with sleep, his arm tightening slightly around her waist."Marcus wants to see me." She turned to face him, the phone still in her hand. "He's been asking since yesterday. Says it's about my mother."Lucas's expression sharpen
