I stepped out of the restaurant, feeling drained. The meeting had gone well, but my energy was completely spent. All I wanted was to go home, take off these heels, and maybe sleep for a week. I pulled out my phone and started tapping on the cab app, already thinking of what presents I should take home with me for Blake.

But my actions halted when I saw him.

I wore a confused look as I approached him, as he leaned against the door of his car. His black car gleamed under the afternoon sun, parke

  • The Billionaire’s Affair   Chapter 122: Neverending Night

    I didn’t leave the police station until dawn.They eventually pulled me away from Hayden’s cell, gently but firmly, promising I could return later. I nodded, but my heart stayed behind those bars with him. Every step I took away felt wrong, like I was abandoning him in the middle of a storm.Outside, the reporters were gone, replaced by a cold, gray silence. Aiden and Asher were still there, sitting on the hood of Asher’s car. When they saw my face, they stood immediately.“What did he say?” Aiden asked, his voice tight.I shook my head. “Let's talk about this matter another time, not here.”They didn’t push further. Asher just opened the car door for me, and for that, I was grateful. I didn’t trust my voice anymore.Morning bled into afternoon before Dominic finally returned.He looked exhausted—tie loosened, sleeves rolled up, jaw clenched like he’d been grinding his teeth for hours. When his eyes met mine, something unreadable passed between us.“They’re moving fast,” he said quie

  • The Billionaire’s Affair   Chapter 121: Fractured Truths

    The cold of the cell seeped into my bones, but I didn’t notice. All I could see was Hayden, his usually steady eyes now clouded with a storm I had never seen before. My hands still gripped his, and for a moment, it felt like the world outside the cell didn’t exist.“You…you chose not to?” My voice trembled, barely a whisper.Hayden’s jaw tightened. “I didn’t know what else to do. If I tried… I could have made it worse. But yes. I made a choice. One I’ve lived with every day since.”I shook my head, disbelief burning in my chest. “No. Hayden… I don’t believe that. You… you’re not that man. You couldn’t be.”He looked at me then, and I finally saw the weight he had carried—the guilt, the sorrow, the self-loathing. “Bella… you don’t understand. It wasn’t a clear choice. There were… complications. Things I can’t explain, things I wish I never had to remember. But now… it’s all catching up to me.”My heart ached. The idea that he had been holding this secret, living with a burden I couldn’

  • The Billionaire’s Affair   Chapter 120: Is This The End?

    The police station was chaotic when I got there. There were many reporters flashing their cameras at us when we got out, and the buzzing tension made it hard to focus. I spotted Aiden immediately, pacing back and forth near the entrance. His hair was a mess, and his face looked pale. Asher was beside him, trying to calm him down, his hand gently rubbing Aiden’s back. I ran toward them. “Aiden! What happened?” Aiden turned to me, his face red with frustration. “The fucking police dragged Hayden away like he was some criminal! He was just picking Blake up from school, and they arrested him in front of everyone. There were cameras everywhere. Reporters, parents, students—everyone saw it. God! I would have punched that police in the face if I was there.” My stomach dropped. “In front of Blake?” Aiden nodded, biting his lip hard. “They didn’t care. They just took him. Like it was all some show.” I turned to the front desk. “Where is he? I need to see him.” One of the officers be

    I stepped out of the house, closing the door behind. Dominic was waiting outside by the gate, his hands tucked in his pockets, his gaze distant, but as soon as he noticed me walking towards him, his expression changed, and he gave me a soft smile.“Can we talk?” I asked. “Just… not here.”He nodded without hesitation.We got inside his car and drove to a nearby park. We got out and the sky was a little dark, it was starting to snow, the snowflakes were falling slowly from the sky. I stretched my hand and one snowflake landed n my palm, and it melted slowly, till it disappeared. I wrapped my arms around myself, regretting not grabbing a jacket. Dominic must have noticed my discomfort because he then offered me his coat.“Here,” he said, slipping his coat off and draping it over my shoulders.“I’m fine,” I tried to say, but he chuckled.“Don’t make this more awkward. It’s just a jacket. I’m being a gentleman, not proposing to you.”I gave a tiny smile and let it go.We sat on a wooden

    Breakfast was quiet. Hayden and I sat across from each other, sharing a normal meal like we always did. He had cooked bacon and eggs, and I made toast. The smell of coffee lingered in the air, wrapping the kitchen in its warm aroma. It felt normal, but even if you’re an outsider you could easily tell with one glance that something was wrong. I couldn’t shake the tension tightening around my chest. We didn’t talk about the news.We didn’t talk about Cedric. We just…stopped talking. I’ve always known that growth with your partner is tough, but I didn’t thought it would be to this extent. Probably because I’ve been too accustomed to Hayden being the one who did all the protecting, and now…I have to step up, to support him in all the turmoils he’s facing.I kept looking up from my plate, watching Hayden’s face carefully. He looked calm as he ate his breakfast. Should I ask him?My fingers trembled slightly as I buttered my toast. Then—out of nowhere. The front door slammed open.I jump

  • The Billionaire’s Affair   Chapter 117: Shadows Don’t Fade

    The drive back from Cedric’s place felt like walking through fog. I declined his offer when he said he’d drive me back and called myself a cab. My body was in the car, but my mind was somewhere else entirely. Every word he said played on loop in my head—about Cassie, about Hayden, about what supposedly happened. About how Cedric claimed Hayden was the reason she was gone.And worst of all, he sounded like he believed it with every inch of his being. I leaned against the window, staring blankly at the passing streetlights. Should I ask Hayden? Should I tell him what Cedric told me? What if it wasn’t true? What if it was?By the time we reached my place, I hadn’t made a decision. I thanked the cab driver before getting out. The moment I stepped inside the house, I felt something strange. The lights were dim, the television was left on in the living room, and toys were everywhere. A little red truck sat sideways on the armrest of the couch. A stuffed bunny lay on the floor as if Blake

    The days that followed left a tight knot in my chest.Hayden was different.Not in the obvious, physical ways—not the kind of different that could be explained away by memory loss or his change in routine. It was something subtle, something deeper. A silence that stretched too long. A gaze that fli

    Dominic.He was standing outside my car, eyebrows raised, arms crossed with that maddening smirk.I had no choice but to slowly roll down the window."Fancy seeing you here," he said, peering inside like some nosy neighbor. "What are you doing in a place like this, Bella?""That’s none of your busi

    I woke up with a plan.This wasn’t something I was proud of. It felt like a betrayal in itself—snooping around, following someone you care about. But what choice did I have? The way Hayden had been acting lately left me no room for comfort. Something had shifted in him, and while I tried to ignore

  • The Billionaire’s Affair   Chapter 106: Curiosity or Peace?

    We roamed the halls like shadows.For a building so guarded on the outside, the inside felt... ordinary. Almost too ordinary. White walls. Polished floors. A faint scent of paper and air freshener. It looked like any high-end office complex you’d find downtown—quiet, professional, boring even. No a
