The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 176: Saving Diana
Caleb POVThe facility was forty minutes outside the city, tucked behind pines—a place where discretion was part of the price. I’d found it, called in favors, and confirmed a bed before dawn. The director spoke with the flat, careful tone of someone used to dealing with people like me: families driven by urgency and guilt.Diana agreed to go. Her quiet compliance told me more about her state of mind than any words could. During the two-hour intake, I sat in the waiting room and thought about my sister at sixteen. I’d spent years trying to forget the look on her face when Victor sent her away, because remembering it meant admitting I’d done nothing. I’d been young, terrified, and focused only on my own survival.I had filed that memory away, the "Black family method" of dealing with trauma. It was something I understood intellectually but hadn't actually resolved.Bella sat beside me while Diana was taken for assessment."You couldn't have stopped it," she said. "You were a child."I l

Diana POVCaleb arrived minutes later. When he saw me, an expression flickered across his face that he didn’t bother to hide.He lingered in the doorway, assessing the room. His hair was windblown, as if he’d driven with the windows down.He glanced at Bella; she gave him a small nod. Then his eyes settled on me. I watched a look take hold of him that I couldn't quite name."Hey," "Hey," I said.He crossed the room and sat on the other side of me from Bella and didn't say anything else for a moment."I'm not going to ask if you're okay," he said finally."Good," I said. "Because I'm not.""Okay." He leaned forward, elbows on his knees, looking at the floor. "Do you want to talk about it or do you want to just sit here?""I don't know yet.""That's fine," he said. "We've got time."The three of us sat in the quiet hotel room, neither of us talking .Then Caleb spoke. "Tell us about the documents. Both of them."I looked at him. "You know there are two?""Bella told me," he said, glanc

Diana POV"I needed somewhere nobody knew."She didn't push on, "Where are you?""Bella" I sat up straighter. "You don't need to — it's quite late, Grace will need""Caleb has Grace, And we have Nadia."I had forgotten about Nadia. The nanny they had finally settled on after what Caleb had once described to me simply as a long process — which I knew, from Bella, was the understatement of the decade. I knew about Singapore. I knew about the cameras and the flight home and Tom crying himself into a fever, and I knew that Bella's caution about who she left her children with was not a personality quirk but something she had earned the hard way. Caleb had understood that. He hadn't tried to talk her out of it — he'd sat down with her and made a list and found someone together. Nadia had been with them for a week now, which by any measure meant she had passed every test worth passing.My thoughts were interrupted by Bella. “what’s the name of the hotel Diana?""I'm fine. I just needed to""

The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 173: Diana's Breakdown
Diana POVI found it on a Tuesday, buried in secondary estate documents—a codicil from a dissolved Geneva law firm executed months before Victor Black died. It had taken days of forensic work to understand what it said, and when I finally did, I sat at my hotel desk for a long time without moving.It wasn't about the business or Caleb. It was about me. Specifically, it was about the trust Victor established when I was born, the one he told me as a child would be mine at twenty-five. He had redirected every penny to a foundation in his own name—a monument to himself. It was gone before I was old enough to claim it, structured so carefully I never would have found it if I hadn't been looking for something else entirely.It shouldn't have mattered. I had built my own life and needed nothing from his estate. But it hit me like the floor had opened.The money wasn't the point; the deliberation was. He had looked at the trust for his daughter and decided to erase it without a word, acting a
The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride Chapter 172: New Normal
Bella POVWeeks later, I found a rhythm. Caleb had told James to clear his schedule for weeks the day we brought Grace home. James had complied without a single question, which said everything about how well he read the room. Caleb then proceeded to become the most committed primary caregiver I had ever witnessed—and I had seen Maya with Tom, which had previously held the record.He was up at five with Grace. He had the morning feed, the diaper, the swaddle, and the settling sorted before I was even fully awake. He handled it simply like a man who had decided this was his job and was doing it thoroughly.It was a strange, quiet domesticity. The man who could command boardrooms was now obsessing over the perfect swaddle tension and the precise temperature of a bottle, moving through the house with a sleeping infant against his shoulder like it was the most natural thing in the world.Watching him with her—and watching Tom shadow his every move, helping with the diaper bag or explainin

Bella POVThe morning after the reception, I woke to Tom jumping on my bed, his small body landing on my stomach with the force of a tiny meteorite. "Mommy! Mommy, wake up! Angela says we can go to the zoo today if you say yes!"I groaned and pulled him close, tickling his sides until he dissolved

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

walked away before she could respond, my composure intact but my heart racing. Victoria Lane and Caleb. Of course. A beautiful socialite with connections and no moral compass, exactly his type. Not that I cared. I absolutely did not care."Bella." Ethan appeared at my elbow, his timing impeccable a

Bella pov I tucked Tom into bed and sat beside him, smoothing his dark hair back from his forehead. "I love you, Tom. More than anything in the whole world.""Love you too, Mommy." His eyes opened slightly, that grey gaze so like his father's that it hurt. "Mommy? Why do I look different from you?
