Chloe smiled at Leonardo, her small face bright with a confidence that belied her age.

Then she moved closer, close enough that he could smell the faint scent of strawberry shampoo and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"I'm going back now," she said. "Bye bye."

She waved at him, her pigtails bouncing, and then she turned and ran, disappearing into the crowd before he could say a word.

Leonardo remained where he was, kneeling on the marble floor, his hand pressed to his cheek where her lips had touch

  • The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession I Escaped But He Found   Chapter 134

    The children arrived home with Lily, their small faces still sad and withdrawn.The car ride from the hospital had been silent. Chloe had stared out the window the entire time, her small hand pressed against the glass, her breath fogging the window in little circles. Liam had sat with his arms crossed, his jaw tight, his eyes fixed on the floor. Tristan had fallen asleep against Lily's shoulder, his dark lashes wet with tears he had tried to hide.Lily had watched them all, her heart aching with a pain she couldn't put into words. They were just children. They shouldn't have to carry this weight. They shouldn't have to watch their mother waste away in a hospital bed while the world around them crumbled.But they did. And all Lily could do was be there for them.The car pulled up to the mansion gates. The guards opened them immediately, their faces respectful but wary. They knew better than to cross the children.Lily led the children inside, past the grand foyer with its marble floors

    The next morning, Lily arrived at the hospital with the children.They were quiet in the car, their small faces pale and serious. Chloe clutched Mr. Wiggles to her chest. Liam stared out the window. Tristan sat perfectly still, his dark eyes fixed on some distant point."Are you ready?" Lily asked.They nodded.She led them through the hospital corridors, past the nurses and doctors, past the waiting rooms and the check-in desks. The bodyguards outside Sophia's room recognized Lily and stepped aside."Mrs. Ferri. The children.""Yes. They need to see their mother."The bodyguards exchanged glances, then nodded.Lily pushed open the door.Sophia lay in the bed, pale and still, the machines beeping softly. She looked smaller than the children remembered. Thinner. More fragile.Chloe's lip trembled. "Mommy?"No response.She walked to the bed, her small hand reaching for Sophia's. "Mommy, it's me. Chloe. I came to see you."Liam followed, his voice steady but soft. "We miss you, Mom. We

    Leonardo woke to the sound of silence.For a moment, he didn't know where he was. The ceiling was unfamiliar smooth white plaster instead of the dark wood of his usual chambers. The bed was too soft, the pillows too plush, the light filtering through the curtains too bright and too golden. He blinked, his eyes adjusting, and the memories came flooding back in a rush, the dinner, Chloe's allergic reaction, the confrontation with Lily, the children leaving.He sat up slowly, his head pounding. A dull, throbbing ache pulsed behind his eyes, and his mouth felt dry and cottony. He pressed his fingers to his temples, trying to massage away the pain.Nico appeared in the doorway, his face carefully neutral. "Sir. You're awake.""How long was I out?""A few hours. You needed the rest. You should take it easy."Leonardo rubbed his face, feeling the stubble on his jaw. He never slept during the day. Never. There was too much to do, too many enemies to watch, too many pieces on the board to trac

    Bianca settled into the chair beside Sophia's bed, crossing her legs, her eyes fixed on Sophia's pale face. The hospital room was quiet save for the steady beeping of the monitors and the soft hum of the ventilator. The afternoon light filtered through the blinds, casting striped shadows across the floor and across Sophia's motionless form.Bianca studied her for a long moment the hollows of her cheeks, the dark circles beneath her closed eyes, the tubes and wires that connected her to the machines that kept her alive. She looked fragile. Breakable. Nothing like the woman who had haunted her nightmares for twenty years."You know," she began, her voice soft and conversational, almost pleasant, "I've been thinking about the past lately. About how we got here. About how you ended up in this bed, and I ended up... winning."She smiled a small, satisfied curve of her lips."Remember when we first met? Elementary school. Mrs. Madison's class. You were the new girl shy, quiet, clutching you

    Nicole carried the tray upstairs carefully.She had made something simple soup, warm and easy to digest, with fresh bread on the side. Nothing that could be tampered with. Nothing that could be questioned. Just a simple meal for a man who had been broken.She pushed open the bedroom door and found Leonardo exactly where she had left him sitting on the bed, his back against the headboard, his eyes fixed on some distant point."I brought you something to eat," she said softly."I'm not hungry.""You need to eat, Leo. You've been up all night. You've lost blood." She set the tray on the nightstand and sat beside him. "Please. Just a little."He looked at her, really looked at her and for a moment, she saw something in his eyes. Not love. Not even affection. Just... exhaustion. Defeat."Fine."She picked up the spoon and brought it to his lips. He ate mechanically, without tasting, without caring. She fed him the whole bowl, then helped him lie back against the pillows."Rest now," she wh

    The morning sun was barely cresting the horizon when Lily's car pulled up to Leonardo's mansion.She had barely slept. The events of the previous night Chloe's allergic reaction, the hospital, the fear had kept her awake, tossing and turning, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. And now, with the dawn, she had made a decision.She was taking her grandchildren home.The front door was unlocked. She walked in without knocking, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. The mansion was quiet, too quiet but she didn't care. She was on a mission.Martha appeared at the top of the stairs, still in her coat, having just arrived from her emergency leave. Her face was pale, her eyes wide."Mrs. Ferri? What are you—""Pack their things," Lily said, her voice cold and firm. "They're coming with me.""Mrs. Ferri—""Now, Martha. We don't have time to argue."Martha hesitated, then nodded and hurried toward the children's room.Lily walked into the living room and found Leonardo sta

    The automatic doors of Starlight International Airport slid open, and Sophia stepped through them with a child holding each hand and the third gripping the hem of her coat.Heads turned immediately.It was impossible not to look. The three children walking beside her were dressed in matching pastel

    Three Years LaterSophia was just finishing up her shift when her phone buzzed against the desk. She glanced at the screen and smiled before she even answered. The photo that lit up the display was one of her favorites three tiny faces smushed together, cheeks pink, eyes bright, all fighting to be

    Sophia zipped her suitcase with trembling fingers and dragged it to the front door. The apartment that had been her sanctuary for the past year now felt like a trap waiting to spring.She checked her phone. The taxi was three minutes away.Three minutes, and she would be gone. Three minutes, and sh

    Sophia's hands were shaking so badly she could barely button her blouse.Her mind was a storm of fractured thoughts, none of them settling long enough to make sense. The red marks on her skin stared back at her like accusations. The ache between her thighs was a constant, throbbing reminder of what
