Lena POV:

---

I sat on the edge of the bed, still dressed in the same clothes from the day before. The morning had dragged on with little to do, just me staring at the walls and glancing at the open nursery door across the hall. The lullaby record had stopped playing ages ago, yet the silence felt like a lingering echo.

A soft knock interrupted the stillness. I didn’t bother to respond, but Dominic entered anyway.

He looked sharp in his suit, as always, but his face bore a weariness that was new. He paused by the door for a moment before speaking.

“I brought someone for you,” he said.

I blinked slowly, trying to process. “Who?”

“A doctor. A private one, just for you and the baby.”

My chest squeezed tight. “I didn’t ask for that.”

“I understand,” he said, his tone steady. “But I needed to make sure.”

“Sure of what?” I pressed.

He didn’t reply; instead, he stepped aside to let a middle-aged woman enter. She was well-dressed, without a lab coat, just carrying a leather bag. She had an a

  • The Billionaire contract Bride    The walk:

    Dominic POV:I didn’t really want to ask her if she had a good sleep. Honestly, I’ve asked that question plenty of times already.That morning, I noticed her coming down the stairs, her hair still slightly wet from a shower, wearing one of those old sweaters I thought she had tossed out. She didn’t say a word when she sat at the table; she just quietly added sugar to her tea, no milk, like she always does.She hadn’t touched the flash drive since that night, and she hadn’t mentioned the letters either. But something felt different. Her silence wasn’t as icy today; it had a new vibe to it.I waited for her to glance at me just once before I spoke up.“Want to go for a walk later?” just like yesterday. I really wanted us to have a solid connection. Lately, I couldn’t shake the thought of her, especially now that her body was changing with our child. I found myself thinking about her curves more than I should have. I would give anything just to run my hands over her.She didn’t immediate

  • The Billionaire contract Bride    The Quiet Between:

    Lena POV:I didn't get any sleep.Not even a wink. I tried, but my mind and body were buzzing from everything I discovered in that drawer. My thoughts wouldn’t chill out, not for a moment. I ended up sitting on the edge of my bed for hours, holding those letters and just staring at the wall.By the time morning rolled around, my eyes felt like they were on fire, my throat hurt from crying, and I still had the flash drive clenched in my fist, as if I was afraid someone might take it.I didn’t confront Dominic.I didn’t march into his room or shove the papers in his face. No yelling. No demands for answers. I just… kept quiet.And observed.---The kettle whistled while I was in the kitchen. My hand trembled a bit as I poured hot water into my mug. The house felt thick with silence, but not in a bad way. It was just… peaceful.I heard him coming before he walked in.Usually, he’d stroll in like he owned the place, no warning and no care. But this time, he paused at the door. I looked up

  • The Billionaire contract Bride    A Deal With The Devil.

    Dominic POV:---The phone rang just after nine.I was hanging out in my office, the place silent except for the sound of the air conditioning. Everyone else was either asleep or pretending to be. I thought about letting it ring, but something about the number lighting up my screen made my stomach knot.I decided to answer.“Dominic,” a raspy voice came through before I could speak. “We’ve got a situation.”It took me a moment to recognize him, Jorge Mendez. He was the guy who helped with Emma’s first move, handling all the paperwork, logistics, and that quiet transfer to the facility. I hadn’t heard from him in almost three years.“What’s going on?” I asked, leaning back in my chair.There was a pause. I could almost hear him take a breath.“Someone’s been snooping around. They showed up at my brother-in-law’s garage last week. Didn’t say much, just kept asking if I knew anything about a girl who went missing around the time of the Boston fire.”Emma.“Can you describe them?”“Tall.

  • The Billionaire contract Bride    A knock At Midnight.

    Lena POV: Sleep eluded me.Even with the curtains tightly closed and the dim light from the hallway lamp Dominic insisted on leaving on “just in case," I couldn’t find rest. I wasn’t sure what he was preparing for, he never struck me as someone who feared nightmares.I lay on my side on the bed, my fingers gently resting on my stomach. Though there was no movement inside yet, I liked to imagine it was happening. I found comfort in the thought that even amid the stillness, something within me was pushing ahead, while the chaos outside felt like it had come to a standstill.Earlier that evening, he had handed me a folded note without a word. He simply placed it in my palm and stood there, arms crossed, as if bracing himself for something.It turned out to be a list. He had written it down by hand—neatly, with his precise, controlled script. Names like “Isla,” “Arden,” “Luca,” “Sera.”He didn’t ask me to choose. He didn’t express any preferences. He just left the list with me and walke

  • The Billionaire contract Bride    The Name Game.

    Dominic’s POV:The nursery was filled with the scent of fresh paint and new wood, a subtle fragrance that was soothing rather than overwhelming. That was the intention. I had requested a calm, neutral color scheme, nothing too bright or distracting. Just gentle beige walls, soft lighting, and clean lines. I wanted it to feel serene, like a space from one of those parenting magazines that promise peace to new parents.Peace. It was the one thing I still hadn’t managed to create for Lena.Not yet.I stood there with my hands in my pockets, once again surveying the room, even though it felt like I had already done so a dozen times. The crib was in the middle of the room, untouched and gleaming white. The rocking chair by the window was perfectly positioned to catch the early morning light. Above the crib, a mobile swayed gently, its little animals turning slowly as if they had all the time in the world. The silence was thick, almost sacred, yet it didn’t bring me any comfort. Instead, it

  • The Billionaire contract Bride    Cane's Fire Dominic's Ice.

    Cane POV: ---I hadn’t slept in two days.The ticking of the warehouse clocks was almost deafening. The air felt stagnant and heavy. It was as if the very walls were whispering secrets to one another. I remained glued to the same chair I’d been in for hours, replaying that old video of Lena yet again. She was just sitting there, staring into space. Her elbows rested on her knees, one hand laid across her stomach. A stillness that drove me crazy.“She’s too calm,” I murmured.“Maybe she’s just exhausted,” Luke chimed in from across the room, casually munching on a bag of peanuts as if we weren’t on the brink of chaos.“Don’t be ridiculous,” I shot back. “That’s not calmness; that’s giving up.”He raised an eyebrow, unbothered. “Or perhaps she simply wants peace, Cane.”I ignored him and turned the volume up a notch. The recording had no sound; it was just quiet. Still, I watched intently. I noticed the way her eyelids blinked slowly and how she ran her thumb over her knee, as if she w
