I paused, looking at the screen. I had not texted Olivier yet. I knew my eldest son would respond with cold questions and suspicion. He would want to know the legal implications, the business structures, and how this affected the Marchetti Group. He was too much like me in business, but he lacked the wisdom to see what truly mattered.

I will deal with Olivier when we land in Lyon. Just be ready.

I closed the phone and placed it in my pocket. The car rolled smoothly through the ga

    Bella pov "He is actually right," I laughed, looking at Caleb. "I have been looking for that earring since March."Grace was sitting in her high chair, watching the bright headlights flash under the couch. She banged her little palms against her plastic tray and made a sharp, angry noise."She wants to drive it," Tom said, jumping up. He brought the controller over to her chair, holding it carefully so she could only touch one big button. The car spun in a fast circle on the floor, and Grace shrieked with pure joy, kicking her feet against the tray."Again!" Grace shouted."She is getting very good at that word," I told Caleb, smiling as he wiped a bit of fruit pureé from her chin.Suddenly, the loud ring of the door bell echoed through the hallway. Tom dropped his controller on the floor and sprinted toward the front door as fast as his legs could move."Grandpa!" Tom yelled.I quickly unbuckled the safety strap on the high chair and lifted Grace up, resting her heavy little body r

    Bella POVTom turned six on a Saturday, and by ten in the morning, the house was already incredibly loud.The sharp ring of the doorbell cut through the noise, and Tom practically flew across the rug. I walked out of the kitchen right behind him and watched him pull the heavy front door open.Maya stood, holding a massive, brightly colored cake box very carefully with both hands. She didn’t even step inside before issuing a warning."Do not touch this box, birthday boy," Maya said, balancing it as she walked past him into the hallway. "It is completely unstable until it commits to the kitchen table.""Is it chocolate?" Tom asked, bouncing on his heels as he followed her straight to the counter."Of course it is chocolate," Maya laughed, setting it down with absolute care.My laptop on the counter let out a loud chime. A video call request popped up on the screen. I tapped the answer button, and Diana’s face instantly filled the monitor. She was sitting in the front seat of her car, t

  • The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride    Chapter 237: Olivier Apology

    Bella POV"I don't think either of us did anything wrong, Olivier. I think we both just got handed something complicated. He carries a tremendous amount of guilt for my mother, Elaine. He didn't know she died, and he didn't know I existed. His reaction to me isn't a rejection of you or your mother. It's years of unanswered questions finally hitting him at once."He was quiet for a long time. When he finally spoke, his voice was lower and rougher."Our father is not easy to love," he said. "He is distant and works too much. He never shows thanks. I have spent my whole life trying to get his attention, but I do not think he knows how to give it."I looked at him, and everything suddenly made sense."You just described my husband," I said.Olivier stared at me in shock. Then, he let out a short, surprised laugh. He looked embarrassed, like the laugh had escaped before he could stop it. It was the first real emotion I had ever seen from him."That is either very comforting or very scary,"

    Bella POVI was sitting in the living room of our house, watching Tom play with his toy trains on the rug. The evening sun cast long shadows across the floor, and the house was finally quiet after a busy day.My phone vibrated on the coffee table beside me. I picked it up, expecting a work email from my assistant or a message from Caleb. Instead, an unknown number lit up the screen.I tapped the notification and opened the text message.Unknown Number: It's Olivier. I stole your private number from Enzo's phone because I really needed to talk to you. I know after our last encounter you must have barred me from your business line. Can we talk? Just us. No agenda this time.I stared at the short message for a full minute. Tom laughed as one of his toy trains fell over, but my focus stayed entirely on the screen. Olivier only had my office line before, and he had used that to walk into my room and start a bitter corporate interrogation. He was right—I had instructed my assistant to bl

The car rolled smoothly through the gates of the private airport terminal, coming to a stop directly on the asphalt near the gleaming white fuselage of my private jet. The twin engines were already humming quietly, a low vibration that traveled through the ground.The driver opened my door, and I stepped out into the night. The wind was stronger here on the tarmac, blowing my hair across my forehead. I looked up at the stairs of the aircraft.My life had completely changed in the span of months, years ago, I lost Elaine. Tonight,

  • The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride    Chapter 234: Sebastian plan

    Sebastian pov The car door clicked shut, cutting off the cool night air. I stood on the sidewalk outside the restaurant, completely frozen. My daughter was gone. The red taillights of her car moved down the dark street, turning the corner until they disappeared completely. My chest felt tight, I could not breathe. I looked down at the expensive fabric of my suit jacket. My shoulder was slightly wet. That was where she had rested her face. That was where she had held me. Goodbye, Dad. The words repeated in my mind over and over. She had called me Dad. She did not say Sebastien. She did not say Mr. Marchetti. She had looked at me with those beautiful eyes—the exact same eyes as her mother, Elaine—and she had claimed me. A hot tear spilled over my eyelid, rolling down my cheek. I did not wipe it away. I let it fall. I had spent years carrying the heavy weight of grief for a woman I could not save. I had lived with the quiet agony of thinking Elaine had simply stopped answering m

I opened the door just wide enough to slip out into the hallway, closing it firmly behind me so Tom couldn't see."What are you doing here?" I demanded, keeping my voice low. How do y
