Elizabeth’s Point of View

"I'm sorry," Richard said, his gaze dropping briefly to the ground before meeting mine again.

"For what?" I asked, my voice steady. "You didn’t do anything wrong" I dismissed.

Richard exhaled deeply. "I had no idea you were really a virgin. I would never have wanted your first time to be in an old cottage, on the bare floor," he said, his tone heavy with regret.

I let out a low sigh. Was that really it?

"You could’ve at least said so," I muttered, rolling my eyes.

"I know. I was just… shocked," Richard admitted. "Everything I thought about you was wrong."

I rolled my eyes again. "Right. And now you’re sorry."

"I am," he added, and something about the way he said it unsettled me. It felt like he wasn’t just apologizing for this—but for something else entirely.

"It’s fine," I said quickly, eager to end this conversation. "I had a great time today. Goodnight."

But Richard didn’t move. He stood there, watching me, hesitation written all over hi

  • The Billionaire's Deal    Chapter 107

    Elizabeth’s Point of View:I watched as Richard pushed her away, turning to face me, eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights. My heart pounded as I stepped closer, ready to scold him—until I saw it.That smug little grin on Laura’s face. Like she was glad I’d walked in. She probably expected chaos—a screaming match. But I wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction.I took a deep breath, swallowed the lump rising in my throat, and forced down the fury bubbling inside me.“Hey baby,” I said, flashing Richard a smile that felt heavier than stone.He blinked, confused. “Elizabeth…” he breathed.“You’re here.” His voice cracked. His eyes darted nervously. He narrowed his gaze, trying to read me, but I gave him nothing.Just q smile.“I saw your message and couldn’t sleep,” I murmured, now standing in front of him. “So, I thought I’d come.” I said stopping in front of him.I glanced to Laura, still smiling before turning back to Richard . “Aww, Lilly’s so cute. Why don’t you go put he

    Elizabeth's point of view: "Richard has a child?" Jessica asked, walking into the living room to find Vivian and me talking.I sighed, sinking into the chair. "Yeah. With Laura... the woman he's obsessed with."Just saying her name made my stomach twist."God," I muttered, running a hand through my hair. I felt sick. "Now they have something that ties them forever."Vivian just looked at me, worried."So what now?" she asked."I don’t know," I said. Staying with Richard felt like fighting a losing battle, How could I win against the mother of his child?"But what does he want to do? Is he getting back with her?" Jessica asked.I shook my head. "I didn't exactly stay to talk," I confessed. I had no idea why I ran. I just couldn’t sit there and watch him play family with her.Right then, my phone started ringing—his name flashing across the screen. I stared at it, letting it ring out. I wasn’t ready to have that talk with him. Not now.It rang a few more times. Then a voicemail came in

    Richard's point of view; “No!” my mother protested almost immediately. “I am not letting that woman into this house,” she said, shaking her head firmly.I stared at her, feeling utterly helpless.“What choice do we have?” I sighed, turning toward Lilly, who still hadn’t stopped crying. Her voice had turned hoarse from crying so loud. “As far as she’s concerned, she’s just here with a bunch of strangers. Her mother’s the only one she knows.”But my mother was unmoved. “No, Richard. Don’t you see it? Laura planned this. She took that little girl because she knew she could use her to crawl back into your life,” she said, walking toward Lilly.“And I’m not going to let her,” she muttered, reaching out and grabbing Lilly by the arm. “Listen here, little girl,” she snapped. “You better behave! Your mother’s not here, and we’re all you’ve got.”“Mum!” I gasped, rushing to her side. Lilly froze, eyes wide with fear, before bursting into a louder, more frantic wail.“Stop it, Mum!” I hissed,

    Richard’s Point of view; It read:Richard to Lily: 99.99% match.My heart skipped.Beside me, I felt Elizabeth’s grip loosen. I turned to her, unsure if what I felt was joy, relief, or something else entirely.“It’s a match,” I said quietly. “She’s my daughter.”Elizabeth nodded, her eyes brimming with tears. “Congratulations,” she whispered, her voice shaking. A tear slipped down her cheek.“I have to go,” she added. Before I could say anything else, she turned and rushed out. I followed, but by the time I got outside, she was already inside a cab. The door shut. The car pulled off.I let out a breath and turned back toward the hospital. My chest felt heavy. I had a daughter. This should’ve made me happy, but for some reason, it didn’t—not completely. Instead, I felt guilty.I walked back into the hospital, heading straight to the room where Laura and Lilly were. As soon as I entered, Laura looked up at me, a small smile playing on her lips as she searched my eyes.“The result is

  • The Billionaire's Deal    Chapter 103

    Richard’s Point of View:I stood frozen, watching the little girl cling to me like she knew me. My eyes drifted to Elizabeth, who narrowed hers just slightly, her gaze flicking between me and the child. I peeled the girl’s arms gently away from my body.“I’m sorry, dear,” I said softly, crouching to her level. “But I’m not your father.”I lifted my eyes slowly to Laura, who stood just a few feet away with a satisfied smirk on her lips. That look alone irritated me.“What kind of game is this, Laura?” I asked, rising to my feet.“This is no game, Richard,” she replied, her voice laced with fake innocence. “This is our daughter. This is our Lilly.”I blinked. My stomach dropped.“Lilly, tell Daddy how old you are,” Laura instructed.“I am four daddy, I am four!” the little girl chirped with a proud smile.I let out a short, humorless laugh. “Stop this, Laura. It’s pathetic.”I stepped back, my eyes still on the child. She looked up at me with those wide, searching eyes—innocent, soft.

    Elizabeth's point of view:“Sorry for your loss.”“He was a good man.”A few people murmured as they walked into the house, offering their condolences to Richard. I nodded politely, forcing a small smile.“Thank you,” I replied on Richard’s behalf.It had been a week since William died. Richard wasn’t himself. He hadn't cried—at least not yet—but he was distant, quiet. Sometimes I’d find him staring at nothing, completely lost in thought.Over the past few days, I’d barely left his side. He didn’t talk much to anyone except me, and I was the only person he let his guard down around. He let me handle everything—all the condolence messages, planning the funeral—and I did it willingly, wanting to ease the weight off him as the only child.I hadn’t brought up Laura, but I had seen her missed call on his phone and the message she had sent. I showed them to Richard, but we both agreed to ignore them.I still was angry, but I also knew this wasn’t the time to talk about her.“Would you like
