Maya hadn’t planned to think about the D’Angelo mansion that morning.

She was buried in paperwork—coordinating her father’s treatments, balancing phone calls with doctors, and preparing for her first day back at school. The air smelled faintly of coffee and printer ink, a sign of her new, ordinary life.

Yet every time her thoughts wandered, they pulled her back—back to the echo of those grand halls, the way sunlight used to spill through the glass corridors, the quiet moments when Leo’s voice would break through the silence.

She told herself it was just memory. But memory had its own gravity.

Her phone buzzed again—an unknown number. She frowned, wiped her hands, and opened the message.

A single image appeared: the Moretti estate, lavishly decorated for an event. Beneath it, a line of text.

You’re still part of this story whether you like it or not.

For a moment, the world seemed to narrow to that glowing screen.

Maya’s hand trembled slightly. It was a sharp and deliberate reminder th

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver   Chapter 41 – To the fall of Kings

    Pamela Cabrera waited quietly in the garden beside the servants’ wing, clutching her small purse in her lap. Her hands trembled slightly, though her gaze stayed steady.Antonio passed by, offering a polite nod. “You must be the new hire. Mrs. Conti’s still in a meeting with Mr. Lorenzo. She’ll be down soon.”Pamela smiled faintly. “Thank you.”He gave a small, reassuring grin. “You can wait here. She doesn’t like to keep people waiting long.”When Mrs. Conti appeared a few minutes later, Pamela stood. The older woman carried herself with quiet authority, years of service carved into every movement.“Sorry to keep you waiting,” she said briskly. “Ms. Valentina said you’d be reporting to me?”“Yes, ma’am,” Pamela replied politely.“She’s already interviewed you?”Pamela nodded again.“Good. Fill out this form and bring it back to me. I’ll prepare your schedule and duties for tomorrow.”Pamela accepted the paper, thanking her softly. When the older woman left, she let out a long, slow br

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver   Chapter 40 – Echoes of the Night

    Sleep didn’t come to Maya that night. She sat on the edge of her bed long after Leo left, staring at the spot near the door where he had stood, not sitting, not struggling, but standing, balanced, and alive.Her hands were still trembling, though she couldn’t tell whether it was from shock or something deeper. Leo’s voice echoed in her mind, every word stubbornly refusing to fade.“You didn’t just leave the job, Maya. You left me.”It made no sense. Why now? Why tell her all that when she was finally trying to step away from his world and all the chaos that came with it? When Ethan had just begun to fit into the quiet corners of her life, his kindness steady and unintrusive?She pressed her palms to her eyes.“Why did he come back when I’m trying to move on?” she whispered into the silence.Outside, the street was empty. A single car passed below — maybe his — carrying Leo back into the world he belonged to, a world of marble walls and gilded lies.And yet, part of her heart followed

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver   Chapter 39 – The Night He Stood

    The D’Angelo residence had never looked so alive. Beneath the chandeliers, the marble gleamed like liquid gold; laughter and music wove through the gardens, soft and deceptive. The after-party had begun, a celebration meant to unite two dynasties, yet the air inside felt taut, like a smile stretched too far.Leo sat still through the first hour, his champagne untouched, his gaze distant. He had fulfilled his obligations, raised his glass when prompted, endured the endless photographs, tolerated Valentina’s rehearsed touches on his sleeve. But patience, for Leo, had become a thin thread fraying at the edges.He turned his head slightly. Across the room, Luca caught his eye. The faintest nod passed between them. Moments later, whispers began to ripple through the staff: Mr. D’Angelo isn’t feeling well. He’ll retire early.Lorenzo accepted the explanation without suspicion, only mild concern. “He’s had a difficult week,” he murmured to Maurice Moretti. Maurice nodded gravely, sympathy et

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver   Chapter 38 – Beneath the applause

    Once Ethan and Maya stepped outside, the cool night air felt like a quiet escape. The Moretti mansion glowed behind them, its tall windows spilling golden light across the driveway. The driver hurried to bring their car around, the hum of the engine breaking the silence that had followed them since leaving the hall.Ethan opened the door for Maya, his movements gentle, the kind that didn’t need to be rehearsed. She gave him a small nod of thanks before slipping inside. He rounded to the other side and slid in beside her.“To Ms. Sullivan’s residence,” Ethan told the driver. The man nodded, easing the car into motion.For a while, neither spoke. The city lights stretched in ribbons outside the window, reflections sliding across Maya’s face. Her hands rested quietly in her lap, fingers locked together.“Maya,” Ethan said finally, his tone soft but careful, “you look sad. Like someone said something they shouldn’t have.”She turned her head toward him, managing a smile. “I’m fine, Ethan.

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver   Chapter 37– The Sapphire and the Ring

    The night unfolded in layers of elegance and tension. The Moretti estate glowed brighter than ever, its marble halls alive with the murmur of guests, the soft clink of champagne glasses, and the faint hum of a live orchestra tucked beneath the grand staircase. Every crystal shimmered, every petal of the floral arrangements was perfectly placed.To anyone outside the families’ inner circle, it was a flawless display of wealth and control.To those within it, it was a night pulsing with unspoken agendas.Leo positioned himself near the front, his wheelchair angled just off-center—close enough to see everything, but distant enough to be overlooked when convenient. His black suit was crisp, the D’Angelo crest embroidered subtly on his pocket square. He looked calm, but Luca, standing quietly beside him, saw the tension behind that practiced composure.“Luca,” Leo said quietly, eyes fixed on the crowd. “I want to know everything about that guy. Who he is to her, and why he’s here.”“I alre

  • The Billionaire's Caregiver   Chapter 36 — The Engagement

    The day of the engagement arrived.The Moretti estate glittered beneath the glow of chandeliers and gold leaf. The grand hall shimmered with precision, music floating softly through the air, laughter chiming like crystal. Guests moved in elegant swirls of silk and tailored suits, the rhythm of wealth and influence on full display.Every detail was perfect. Every movement rehearsed. Every smile, deliberate.From his position near the front, Leo D’Angelo sat in his wheelchair, silent and observant. The noise around him blurred into a distant hum.He wasn’t looking at the decorations, or the guests, or even his father, he was waiting.And then he saw her.Maya.She entered beside Ethan Cross, the sapphire gown flowing around her like liquid night. Simple, understated, and devastatingly elegant. The soft lighting caught the fabric with each step, painting her in shades of confidence she hadn’t worn before.Valentina was the first to greet her, radiant in silver, her smile polished and sha
