The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go THE OFFICE TEMPTRESS
CHAPTER FORTY-NINE: THE OFFICE TEMPTRESS CASPIAN'S POVI left the house early the next morning.I needed to work. I needed the cold focus of the office. After what Serena had seen the day before, I could not stay in the mansion and look her in the eye without feeling exposed. The memory of her kneeling in front of me, telling me to breathe, calling me baby, still left me unsettled. I hated how much it affected me. I hated that she had seen the weak part I kept locked away.The drive to Laurent International was quiet. I kept my mind on the company, the stock was finally stable but we still need to find the source of the leak. Those problems were solid. Those problems I could fight. Soft voices and gentle hands had no place in that fight.When I reached my office, Nathan was already waiting with new reports. We went through them for almost an hour.“The new trail is cleaner than we thought,” Nathan said. “It still doesn’t point anywhere near Mrs. Laurent. If anything, it pulls further
The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go AFTER THE STORM
CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT: AFTER THE STORMSERENA'S POV“It's okay, it's okay.” I repeated as his breathing evened out.And the room became quiet againCaspian’s breathing finally slowed down. The tight, panicked look in his eyes began to fade. His hand, which had been pressed hard against his chest, slowly dropped to his knee. I stayed kneeling in front of him, one of my hands still resting lightly on his wrist. I could feel his pulse. It was still fast, but no longer racing out of control.I stared at him and for a long moment, neither of us spoke.Then I saw the change on his face.He blinked a few times and looked at me properly. The realization of the situation coming to him. And a look flashed acriss his eyes. And right behind it came something else, maybe embarrassment. Strong embarrassment. His shoulders stiffened. He pulled his hand away from mine as if the touch suddenly burned him. He sat up straighter in the chair and looked away toward the window.I stayed very still so I woul
The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go STAY WITH ME
CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN: STAY WITH MESERENA'S POVI came home from the hospital with a quiet heart.Talking to Lucas had left me softer and better than when I left. His questions about divorce and about how Caspian treated me stayed in my mind, but so did the way he held my hand and told me I did not have to carry everything alone. I felt tired, but I also felt better and I have clarity. The drive back had been quiet. I had watched the city pass outside the window and tried to hold on to the small peace my brother had given me.The mansion was silent when I stepped inside. I thanked the driver and walked up the stairs slowly. My body felt heavy from the long day. All I wanted was to change clothes, wash my face, and rest for a while. The hallway lights were on and the usual sounds of the house felt distant.I was passing the study when my feet stopped.I did not know why.Maybe it was the way Lucas had looked at me when he asked if I was truly okay. Maybe it was the memory of Caspian sta
The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go THE WEIGHT OF HIS SANITY
CHAPTER FORTY-SIX: THE WEIGHT OF HIS SANITYCASPIAN'S POVI found out she had gone to the hospital from Mrs. Ellis.The housekeeper said it simply while she set a cup of coffee on my desk in the study. “Mrs. Laurent left earlier to visit her brother. She cooked for him herself.”I only nodded. I did not ask any more questions. But the information stayed in my head long after Mrs. Ellis left the room. The coffee sat untouched. The papers in front of me stayed unread.She had cooked for him. She had left the house without telling me. She had gone to the one person who still felt safe to her.I sat in the quiet study and stared at the papers in front of me without reading them. Ever since Helena’s visit, something between Serena and me had changed.It was easier to be cold than to admit that the distance bothered me. Easier to keep the walls up than to look too closely at the way she had stood behind me while Helena threw those ugly words into the room. Easier to focus on the compa
The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go HOSPITAL FOOD AND HARD QUESTIONS
CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE: HOSPITAL FOOD AND HARD QUESTIONSSERENA'S POVI woke up early and decided I needed to see Lucas.The house still felt heavy after Helena’s visit. I needed air. I needed my brother. I went to the kitchen and cooked for him myself. Soft rice, grilled chicken, a little soup, and the sweet bread he liked when he had enough energy to eat it. Mrs. Ellis offered to help, but I shook my head. I wanted to do it with my own hands.When the food was packed, I called the driver and went straight to the hospital.Lucas was awake when I entered his room. He looked better than he had a week ago. There was a bit more color in his face. The machines still beeped quietly beside him, but his eyes were clear.“Serena,” he said, smiling. “You brought real food.”I smiled back and set the containers on the small table. “Hospital food is terrible. I had to save you.”He laughed softly, then winced a little as he sat up higher against the pillows. I moved quickly to help him. Once he was
The Billionaire That Couldn’t Let Her Go AFTER THE DOOR SLAMMED
CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR: AFTER THE DOOR SLAMMEDSERENA'S POVThe house felt too quiet after Helena left.The sound of the front door slamming still seemed to hang in the air. I stood in the living room, my arms wrapped around myself, and tried to steady my breathing. My face felt hot. My hands were cold. The words she had used kept repeating in my head.Whore. Slut. Distraction. Ruining him.I had heard ugly things about myself since marrying Caspian, but hearing them shouted in this house by his aunt hit differently. She had looked at me like I was something dirty that had attached itself to her family.Caspian still stood a few steps in front of me with his back partially turned. His shoulders looked tight. He had stepped between us. He had told her she could not speak to me that way. He had called me his wife in a voice that did not sound like acting.I did not know what to do with that.For a long time neither of us spoke. The large room felt bigger than usual. I could hear my
