The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 252: Her Plan
Nadina pov I stumbled back to my seat, my knees shaking so badly I could barely keep my balance in my heels. I pulled at the low collar of my red silk dress, suddenly feeling cold, stripped bare under the harsh light of the room. Caleb did not even look at me. He just stood by the edge of the long table, clicking his pen, his face as hard as a stone wall.I reached for my glass, my fingers trembling so much the wine spilled over the rim and stained the white tablecloth. I swallowed the lump in my throat and forced my breathing to slow down. My mind was spinning, trying to figure out where I had miscalculated.How did he know?The thought beat against my skull. Bella's hospitalization was supposed to be a tight, iron-clad secret. She had vanished from public view, and her medical situation was kept completely under wraps to avoid any eyes on her or her children.But I had my own ways of finding things out. I had spent months tracking every detail of Caleb's life from across the Atla
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 251: Paris
Caleb POVThe rain was coming down hard against the windshield of my SUV. I sat alone in the driver's seat in the hospital parking lot, the engine idling, staring up at the glowing windows of the high-risk ward. I had just walked out of Bella's room, but my feet felt heavy, like they were glued to the floor mats. I didn't want to put the car in drive.My phone buzzed against the center console. I picked it up, saw it was James, and swiped to answer, my voice dropping into a harsh register."James, cancel the flight," I said before he could speak. "I am not going to Paris. Call the Volkova team and tell them we are pushing the closing back a week.""Sir? What is wrong?" James sounded completely caught off guard over the line. "The private jet is fueled, and the gate closes in less than two hours. I have the papers ready. You have spent months on this acquisition, Mr. Black. It has four heritage properties, a private bank, and a fashion house stake. We cannot just push it back.""Bella
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 250: The Drift Begins
Bella POVI set the phone back on the nightstand, turning over onto my side as the quietness of Sunday night finally closed in around me.The long, quiet night rolled into morning, the dark sky outside my window fading into a pale, watery blue. By eight o'clock, the familiar daytime hum of the high-risk ward started up again. Trays clattered down the hallway, nurses clicked past on the linoleum, and the bright morning sun cut across my white blankets.On Monday morning, a nurse tapped gently on the door frame and stepped inside, carrying a large glass vase filled with fresh white and pale yellow flowers."These just arrived for you at the front desk, Bella," she said, giving me a warm smile as she set the heavy glass down on the wide windowsill."Thank you," I murmured.She checked my IV line quickly and headed back out. I looked over at the windowsill. There was no note, but the simple, clean arrangement was exactly the same as last week.Olivier.Later that afternoon, I opened my m

Bella POVI sat up a little straighter, frowning at him gently. "Tom, what have I told you about taking things from strangers? And you didn't even tell me about it."Tom dropped his eyes to his lap, his shoulders slumping down. He nervously tapped the corner of his plastic folder. "I am sorry, Mommy. I forgot.""Linda is very nice, but you cannot take food from people unless I say it is okay first," I said, keeping my voice soft but firm. "Never do it again, okay?""Yes, Mom," Tom whispered, looking up at me with his big grey eyes. "I promise.""Okay. Thank you for apologizing," I said, kissing the top of his head. "Now, show me what you are reading."He pulled out his homework book, and spread it across my blankets. For the next hour, he read his school book out loud. Every now and then, he paused, leaning his head all the way down to press his ear against my big, round stomach."I think the baby likes this story," Tom whispered, keeping his face pressed to my skin. "The baby moved r
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 248: Hospital visits
Bella POVThat admission night dissolved into a blur of strict bedrest and cold hospital sheets. Caleb refused to leave the bedside, sitting rigid in the hard plastic chair with his fingers locked through mine. By three in the morning, the dark circles under his eyes looked like bruises."Caleb, you need to go home," I whispered, turning my head on the pillow to look at him. "Tom and Grace are going to wake up soon. They need to see you. They need to know everything is okay.""I am staying here," he said, his voice rough and stubborn. "Nadia is with them. They are fine.""Please," I pressed, squeezing his hand. "Go take them to school, change your clothes, and come back. You cannot help me if you collapse from exhaustion."He stared at me for a long time, his jaw tight. He looked at the monitor, then back at me. Finally, he gave a slow, hesitant nod. "I will go. But I am coming straight back after I drop Tom off." He leaned down, kissed my cheek, and quietly slipped out of the room.T
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 247: Hospitalised
Bella POVWeeks laterMy thumb hovered over the glowing screen of my phone. The financial news alert had popped up at exactly eight in the morning, a bright white banner cutting across my wallpaper.Marchetti Group Secures Voss Legacy Archive, Appoints New Independent Board Member.I tapped the link. The page loaded, showing the official Marchetti family crest at the top of the press release. Down in the third paragraph, my own name sat in clean, black font. The ink on the actual board paperwork was already dry, but seeing it right here, public and permanent, made my chest tighten with a strange sort of relief. It was done.Olivier sent a text every few days that was barely a sentence and somehow said everything.Olivier: The board seat is officially yours. Work starts next month. Take care of yourself, Bella.Enzo, on the other hand, sent voice messages at odd hours. I tapped play on one at two in the morning, holding the phone close to my ear so I would not wake up the house."Bell
