The Billionaire Who Wants Me Next Chapter Forty-Six
ELARAThe house felt too quiet.Not peaceful, quiet. Not comfortingly quiet. The kind that pressed against my ears until every second felt heavier than the last. I sat curled up on the couch with my phone in my hand, refreshing the same page for what had to be the hundredth time even though I already knew nothing would change.Nothing ever did.I had spent the last two hours trying to figure out which hospital Louis had taken his grandfather to. Every private hospital in the city suddenly felt like an enemy. I had called three of them pretending to be family, but the moment I mentioned his grandfather’s name, they either claimed they had no patient under that name or politely told me they couldn’t disclose information.Louis had planned this. Of course he had.The realization sat bitterly in my chest because it meant he truly did not want me anywhere near whatever was happening.I threw my phone onto the couch and pressed my palms against my face. My head was beginning to ache. I coul

LOUIS The hospital smelled like antiseptic and fear.I hated hospitals.The silence inside them was never truly silent. It carried whispers of grief, muted prayers, restless footsteps, and the constant beeping of machines reminding everyone how fragile life really was.I sat in the lobby staring blankly at the white tiled floor while waiting for the doctors to come out and tell me whether my grandfather was going to survive.My hands were clasped tightly together, my leg bouncing uncontrollably.I couldn’t lose him.Not him too.My grandfather was the only person in this family who had ever looked at me like I was more than a business extension or a future heir.He saw me.And right now, he was lying unconscious in the ICU.The thought alone made my chest tighten painfully.“Louis.”I looked up slowly.Celia walked toward me elegantly in her heels, looking entirely too calm for someone visiting a hospital. What immediately caught my attention, though, was the smile on her face.A str

ElaraThe ride home felt longer than usual.Every streetlight blurred past the tinted window like a fading memory, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop replaying last night in my head.Alistair’s voice.The way he had answered my phone like he belonged there.The way his hands had touched me afterward—slow, possessive, dangerous enough to make me forget every reason I had to stay away from him.And then this morning.Cold distance.A wall between us so sudden it made me feel stupid for believing any of it had meant something.By the time I stepped into the apartment, my chest felt painfully tight.Denise looked up from the couch immediately, surprise flashing across her face.“Elara?” She frowned. “Why do you look like someone died?”I dropped my bag near the door and forced my heels off.“I’m tired.”“Tired?” Denise sat upright. “Girl, after everything that happened last night, you’re supposed to be glowing right now.”I stiffened. Last night.The reminder alone made my st

ElaraThe moment I finished telling Alistair everything that happened at the mall, silence filled the room.His arms stayed around me, but his body had gone stiff beneath mine.“You’re saying someone followed you?” he asked slowly.I nodded against his chest. “I noticed the same black SUV twice. Then when Denise and I stopped at the café, a man kept watching us. When we left, he followed us outside.”Alistair cursed under his breath.The lights in his penthouse were dim, the city glowing through the glass walls behind us. Normally, being in his arms made me feel safe. Tonight, I still felt the fear crawling beneath my skin.“Why do you think they were following you?” he asked.I lifted my head to look at him. “It’s obvious, isn’t it?”His brows pulled together.“It’s either Louis or Celia.”The moment the words left my mouth, something shifted in his expression.“I doubt Celia would do something like that,” he said calmly.I blinked at him.“What?”He sighed softly. “Elara, I just don

ELARAThe moment Denise and I stepped into the house, she exploded.“I swear on everything good in this world, it took every ounce of self-control in me not to hit Louis with my bag out there.”I burst into laughter as I kicked off my heels near the entrance.“No, seriously,” Denise continued dramatically, dropping the shopping bags onto the couch. “What exactly did you see in that man? Was your vision blurry back then? Were you under a spell? Did someone poison you?”I laughed harder.“Denise!”“I’m being serious!” she cried, pointing toward the door like Louis was still standing there. “The audacity. The confidence. The unnecessary jealousy. The annoying face.”I collapsed onto the couch, holding my stomach. “Okay, fine. Maybe my taste back then was questionable.”“Questionable?” Denise repeated. “Elara, you were head over heels for that man. If Louis had told you to bark back then, you would’ve asked what breed.”I gasped loudly. “You’re horrible.”“You know I’m right.”Unfortunate

LOUISCelia’s sulking was beginning to irritate me.She sat curled up on the couch with her arms folded tightly across her chest, her lips pushed into a childish pout that had lasted almost the entire evening. Every few minutes, she sighed dramatically as if waiting for me to comfort her, but I had already run out of patience hours ago.I stayed quiet.The only light in the living room came from the lamp beside me and the glow of my phone screen. My jaw tightened as I stared at the last message thread with Elara.She had hung up on me.Elara.The same woman who used to think carefully before saying a single word to me now had the audacity to end a call in my face like I meant nothing. The thought alone made my blood boil.How had she become this bold?I leaned back slowly, studying the screen again as if another explanation would magically appear. A few months ago, she would never have dared. She would have apologized first, even when she wasn’t wrong.Now she acted like she couldn’t
