The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 228: The Stalker
Caleb pov The call came on Friday at 10pm. I didn't even check the caller ID; I just grabbed the phone off the nightstand."Caleb, we have a catastrophic failure," Lena's voice was tight, stripped of all its usual corporate calm.I sat up instantly, throwing the covers off my legs. I glanced over at Bella, who was still asleep beside me. "What happened? Is it Webb?""He's out," Lena said flatly. "The local police department botched the county jail transport an hour ago. Route 9 State Highway. Webb faked a seizure in the back of the cage. The transport van pulled over on the shoulder, and when the guard opened the door to check on him, Webb exploded.""He's a middle-aged journalist, Lena!" I hissed, keeping my voice down as I stepped out into the hallway, pacing frantically. "How does he overpower an armed guard?""He didn't need to be a mastermind, Caleb, he just needed to be frantic," Lena replied, the sound of her keyboard clicking rapidly over the line. "He ripped a heavy tactical
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 227: The News
Caleb POV"We have two plainclothes guards at the gate and one patrolling the perimeter during school hours," I replied."Double it," Bella said instantly. "I want one guard dedicated entirely to Tom's classroom area. What about the estate?""The treeline coverage has been increased, and we added motion sensors along the back fence where he was found," I explained."Good. Have we contacted the school administration yet?""Not yet. I wanted to coordinate the message with you first.""I will handle the school communication plan myself," she said, her voice sharp and efficient. I leaned forward, trying to offer her some semblance of peace. "Bella, you can calm down. He is gone. He is arrested and sitting in a cell right now."Bella’s eyes locked onto mine, turning entirely to flint. The professional veneer dropped, replaced by a fierce, uncompromising maternal rage."You won't school me on when to calm down, Caleb," she said, her voice vibrating with a dangerous, quiet intensity. "I don
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 226: The Report
Caleb POV Lena walked into my office on a Thursday morning, and she did not look happy. She dropped a heavy folder right next to my coffee cup. "Is this the final security report on the kitchen breach from Tuesday?" I asked, looking up from my laptop. My chest still felt tight just thinking about how close that trespasser had gotten to Bella. "It's much worse than a simple trespass report, Caleb," Lena said, pulling up a chair and sitting down. "This is a full intelligence file on the man we had arrested. His name is Marcus Webb. I have actually been tracking his digital footprint." I pulled the folder toward me, stunned. "Marcus Webb? The freelance writer? He wrote a couple of competent pieces about Bella back in the early Hart Worldwide years. What does he have to do with Tuesday?" "He is the man from Tuesday," Lena said, her face completely serious. "And his professional interest has curdled into something entirely different over the past months. After the guards handed him ov
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 225: Home Invasion
Bella POVIt was a Tuesday afternoon. I had taken a rare half-day off from the office. Between the stressful Marchetti legal battle, dealing with Camille Fontaine, and the grueling, endless meetings handling Margaret and Richard, my head was spinning. I just needed to be home, away from the corporate warfare and the family venom. Tom was still at school, and Nadia was upstairs with Grace, who was fast asleep.The house was completely silent. I stood at the kitchen island, pouring myself a cup of coffee, just trying to breathe and let the exhaustion drain out of my bones.Then, the back door handle rattled.My hand froze over the coffee pot. The door crept inward, inch by inch, scraping softly against the frame. Terror hit me straight in the chest. My heart started hammering against my ribs. I didn't scream, purely because the breath caught completely in my throat. I looked around wildly. My eyes landed on the heavy cast-iron skillet sitting on the stove. With shaking fingers, I rea
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 224: Bella winning
Bella pov On Wednesday morning, a firm knock sounded at my office door. I glanced up from my laptop as Lena walked inside. She did not say a word. She just marched straight to my desk and laid a printed summary down in front of me."What do we have here?" I asked, pulling the papers closer."Our media monitoring system flagged something once again an hour ago," Lena said, crossing her arms. "A freelance business writer based in Germany has been digging around. He is circling the Marchetti Group, Hart Industries, and he specifically searched the name Elaine Voss within a forty-eight-hour window."My chest tightened at the sound of my mother's name. I read through the flagged materials twice. It took me less than two minutes to understand exactly what Richard and Margret were attempting."They are trying to claim your birth background makes the Hart Industries takeover illegal," Lena explained, pointing at a highlighted paragraph. "He wants to publish a story saying you were never a re
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 223: Richard and Margaret Move Again
Margret pov We were sitting in the small kitchen of the Kensington flat, a place far too small for a man who used to run Hart Industries. Richard was pacing the floor, his shair messy, his face twisted with anger."We can't just let her stay up there, Margaret," Richard said, slamming his hand on the counter. "Bella took everything. She took our company, she took our family name, and she has the world thinking she is some kind of business genius.""What do you want to do, Richard?" I asked, sipping my tea. "She won. We are stuck in this flat.""No, she hasn't won yet," Richard sneered, leaning over the table. "I have a contact. A journalist from the old days. He owes me a massive favor, and he is running out of time to pay it back. We place a story in the right business column at the exact moment she is trying to manage her new billionaire father.""What kind of story?" I asked."The truth," Richard said, his eyes gleaming. "Or at least, our version of it. Bella's biological parentag

Caleb pov My throat closed up completely. I couldn't speak, couldn't move, could barely breathe. He remembered me. My son remembered me."Hi, Tom," Maya said gently, sitting down next to him. "Remember how I told you we were meeting someone today? This is Caleb. He's Mommy's friend, and he wanted

Bella pov "Because you can influence how it happens," Jennifer said. "You can work with him to create a schedule that minimizes disruption to Tom's life. You can set boundaries about where visits happen, who supervises them, how Caleb is introduced. Or you can fight him every step of the way, spen

Caleb pov The question hung in the air, and I saw everyone watching me, waiting to see how I'd respond."years ago, you would have been right," I said quietly. "I was dead inside, so focused on control that I couldn't let myself feel anything. But Bella, losing you broke something open in me. I've
