The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 262: Working Through
Caleb POVI walked through the double doors of the hospital, my boots clicking softly against the polished linoleum. Walking through the door of the hospital room was one of the hardest things I had ever done. Bella was sitting up in her bed when I came in, her bed now moved twenty feet away from the incubator where Victor lay. She looked at me as I crossed the room and sat in the vinyl chair beside her. I did not reach for her hand. I just waited."You look like you haven't slept at all," Bella said, her amber eyes scanning my face."I haven't," I said honestly. "I just sat there. Waiting.""Good," she said, her voice steady. "We cannot go backward, Caleb. We cannot pretend this didn't happen.""I don't want to pretend," I replied, looking directly at her. "Tell me what you need.""Twice a week," she said. "Therapy for both of us. Dr. Anand has couples availability on Tuesday and Thursday.""Yes," I said instantly. "Whatever it takes.""Dr. Anand actually works right here in this
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 261: The Sovereign Hand
Sebastian pov The leather interior of the Bentley smelled of expensive tobacco and cedar, a familiar bubble of total control that stopped the moment I stepped outside. I watched the grey facade of the hospital disappear into the London drizzle through the tinted glass.My daughter was sitting in a sterile room, her body broken by an early labor that should never have happened. My grandson was breathing through tubes twenty feet away from her. All because a cheap corporate opportunist thought she could play a game of leverage with the Marchetti bloodline.I reached into my coat pocket and pulled out my phone. I didn't scroll. I pressed a single speed dial."Sir," Jean-Luc answered on the first ring, his voice flat, professional, and entirely awake despite the hour in Paris."Are you at the office?" I asked, my voice dangerously low."I am in the private study, sir. Olivier and Enzo just touched down at the airfield. They are heading back to their respective quarters.""Good. Leave the
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 260: The Advice
Bella POVMy head snapped around to look at him. "You talked to him? Why would you do that after what he did?""Because I love you, and I have lived long enough to know how easily pride can destroy a family," Sebastien replied. "He told me the whole truth. He didn't make excuses for himself. He is a broken man sitting in that hotel room right now.""He let that woman get close to him, Dad," I whispered, tears burning the backs of my eyes. "He stayed there for too long. He hid it from me.""He did," Sebastien agreed, nodding slowly. "He made a terrible mistake by letting a problem worker into his personal space. But he stopped it, Isabella. He threw her out, and he told you the truth. Please, listen to your father. Do not allow a stranger like Nadina to step in and destroy your marriage.""It hurts so much," I confessed, a tear finally slipping down my cheek. "The distance between us felt so vast even before he left.""Marriage is not a straight line," Sebastien said gently, wiping my
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 259: The Break
Bella POVI always give myself three days. It is the exact amount of time I need to get from the first shock of bad news to a place where I can actually think. I missed Caleb terribly, but at the same exact time, I was so incredibly angry with him.I kept functioning because my family needed me to. Victor needed me steady, Tom needed to see his mom was okay, and Grace needed me present. I took the nursing checks, handled the feeding schedules, and managed everything without letting the outside world see that I was cracked open underneath.On day one, the heavy glass door clicked open, and Maya walked in smoothly. She was already wearing her yellow visitor’s gown, her dark eyes filled with absolute warmth as she set a warm paper cup of tea and a brown bag of pastries onto my bedside table.She pulled up the vinyl chair right beside me, sat down, and simply looked at me."I brought the good tea from the café downstairs," Maya said softly, breaking the quiet. "And some croissants you wil
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 258: The Confession
Caleb POVThe soft hum of the machines filled the room. Nurse Linda walked in, checking the monitors with a quiet frown. She looked at me, then at Bella’s bed, which was pulled right up against the plastic box."Caleb, Bella," Linda said, her voice gentle but firm. "We need to make a change today. We have all seen the baby now, but Victor needs to rest. He needs less noise and less movement around him to get better faster."Bella gripped the bedsheet. "What do you mean, Linda? I need to be close to him.""I know, honey," Linda replied, placing a reassuring hand on Bella’s arm. "But premature babies are highly sensitive. Every time the bed moves, or people talk right next to him, his heart rate spikes. We are going to move your bed to the other side of the room, twenty feet away. It will give him the quiet space he needs to grow strong."I stepped forward, looking at our tiny boy through the glass. "If it helps Victor, we will do it. Whatever makes him recover quicker."Linda nodded. "
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 257: Diana Anger
Caleb pov The heavy door of the NICU suite clicked shut behind me, cutting off the soft, rhythmic hum of the incubator and the quiet murmurs of the kids.The hallway was sterile, lit by harsh fluorescent lights that made my eyes ache. I hadn't slept properly in days. The stubble on my jaw felt heavy, and the oversized hospital scrubs felt loose and foreign against my skin. But none of that mattered compared to the crushing weight in my chest.Diana didn't stop at the doorway. She walked a few paces down the corridor, stopping near a quiet alcove away from the nursing station. When she turned around to face me, her arms were crossed tight over her chest. Her grey eyes, so much like my own, were cold and completely unforgiving."What is your problem, Caleb?" Diana started, her voice a sharp, furious whisper that cut right through me. "Look at me. What is wrong with your head?"“Diana, please," I muttered, rubbing a hand over my face. "Not right now. I am going through so much right now
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 26: Playing the Game
Bella POVThe morning after my breakdown, I woke up with swollen eyes and a pounding headache. Maya was already in the kitchen making coffee when I emerged, and she took one look at my face before sliding a mug across the counter."You look like hell," she said bluntly."I feel worse." I wrapped my

Caleb POVThree cracked ribs and a laceration requiring eight stitches — that was what the doctor told me, and Bella had opened her eyes just long enough to tell the nurse she didn't need that much fuss before the sedative pulled her back under. They let me stay with her after. I dragged a chair t
