The Billionaire's Caregiver Chapter 42 – The Shadow Within
The morning sunlight had barely settled across the D’Angelo estate when the echo of laughter faded down the marble hallway. Leo and Luca had just left for the office, their voices drifting away with the hum of the departing car. The house felt quiet afterward.Valentina stood by the window, watching the taillights vanish through the front gate. She folded her arms, uneasy. The conversation before breakfast still replayed in her mind — Leo’s tone, too sharp and too probing.Cristiano, who had been about to leave the dining room until Valentina stopped him about Antonio, stood with his jacket half-buttoned, the faint scent of cologne lingering as he decided to pour himself a glass of water after the disaster of a breakfast.“I think Antonio probably said something to Leo,” Valentina said, her voice low but edged with irritation. “He was acting strange this morning when I went to call him for breakfast.”Cristiano’s brow lifted slightly. “Strange how?”“He didn’t say much, but the way he
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
