Ethan laughed as he spun the tiny girl around again, her squeals of delight echoing through the high-ceilinged living room. Her braids fanned out, ribbons fluttering as if they too shared in her joy.

“There’s my princess,” he murmured again, pressing a kiss to her forehead before setting her gently down.

She looked up at him with wide, adoring brown eyes , the same shade as his own. “Papa, you didn’t come to my dance class yesterday!” she pouted, puffing her cheeks like a tiny, angry chick.

Ethan crouched down, guilt instantly softening his usual playful grin. “Oh, sunshine… I’m sorry. Papa had to take care of something really important. But tell you what—how about I make it up to you with ice cream and a new tutu?”

Her eyes lit up immediately, lips twitching into a smile even as she tried to hold her pout. “Two tutus!” she demanded, her little finger raised in negotiation.

  • The Billionaire's Distraction    New Year Bonus Scene: Another Year With You

    Adrian’s POV“Hey… I’m here.”I looked up.And for a moment, the world stopped working properly.Lucia stood at the top of the staircase, framed by soft golden light, and the sight of her hit me square in the chest. She wore a white dress that clung to her beautiful body like it had been made with her in mind ,elegant and dangerous all at once. Her hair fell in loose curls, framing her face so perfectly it felt unfair.For a second, I genuinely forgot how to breathe.This was my wife.Mine.“Hey?” Lucia chuckled, her voice pulling me back to reality.I blinked.I hadn’t even realized she’d already walked down the stairs until she was standing right in front of me, amusement dancing in her eyes.“Cat’s got your tongue?” she teased, lips curving into that smirk.That smirk.The most disarming thing I had ever seen.“I—” I cleared my throat, my voice betraying m

  • The Billionaire's Distraction    Chapter 58: First Bites

    Lucia didn’t know what to say or how to comfort Emily. Before she realized it, she had drawn the younger girl into a gentle hug. “It’ll be fine,” she murmured softly. “I’m sure your brother isn’t what you think.” It was easy to see why Emily wasn’t like other girls from wealthy families—bright, bold, and overconfident. She carried a weight far beyond her years, and it showed in her careful movements, the slight tension in her shoulders, and the way her eyes darted around the room. When they pulled away, Lucia smiled softly. “What would you like to have?” “Huh?” Emily blinked, caught off guard. Lucia waved her hands dramatically. “Let’s leave all sad topics aside for now. Breakfast! Did you even eat before coming?” Emily shook her head shyly. “Great! I was about to make something myself. Let’s go get something to eat.”

    Lucia could feel that Emily had questions she was bursting to ask. She shifted slightly, giving her a little space. “Do you have something to ask? Just ask on—I don’t bite,” Lucia said with a gentle smile. Emily hesitated, biting her lip, unsure if she should speak. Finally, she blurted out, her voice soft and tentative: “I… I don’t know how to say this, but… how do you tolerate my brother?” “What?” Lucia blinked, certain she had misheard. Emily cleared her throat, cheeks coloring slightly as she leaned closer, afraid Adrian might hear from upstairs. “I mean… how do you live with him?” She swallowed hard. “My brother… he’s basically a monster. Moody all the time. But from what Mom said, you’ve been here for days. No sane person would stay around him willingly… unless…” She tilted her head thoughtfully, gauging Lucia’s reaction.

    Adrian’s steps were heavy as he stormed up the stairs, his pulse still pounding from the confrontation below. His mother’s visit had left him raw, angry, and oddly helpless. He couldn’t throw Emily out—no matter what she was still his little sister. But having her here… now… was a complication he wasn’t ready for. He preferred the distance they had because he never wanted to come across this sister of his. He ran a hand through his hair, jaw tight, mind whirling—until he nearly collided with someone at the landing. Lucia. She froze mid-step, her eyes wide and her fingers nervously clutching the banister. Adrian’s brows furrowed slightly, the storm still evident in his expression. “Were you… eavesdropping?” Lucia’s lips parted, her cheeks blooming with guilty color. “I—uh—I wasn’t! Not exactly. I just… heard voices, and then—” Befor

  • The Billionaire's Distraction    Chapter 55: Uninvited Guests 2

    The air between Adrian and his mother was heavy—so thick it could’ve been sliced with a knife. They stood opposite each other, equally stubborn, equally unyielding. Neither blinked. Neither spoke. Alex, who stood awkwardly to the side, could practically feel his shirt sticking to his back from sweat. He’d rather face a boardroom full of furious investors than be caught in this crossfire. Mrs. Sinclair, however, didn’t seem bothered in the slightest. Her lips curled into a small, knowing smile. She’d been through this dance with her son before and she never lost. Finally, she let out a light laugh, smooth and composed. “Oh, Adrian. You still have that temper of yours.” Adrian’s jaw flexed. “I’m not angry,” he said flatly. “Of course not,” she replied, amused. “You’re just… glaring daggers at your mother.” He didn’t respond.

  • The Billionaire's Distraction    Chapter 54: Uninvited Guests

    Morning sunlight filtered softly through the tall windows of the Sinclair estate, painting the marble floors in a warm golden hue. The house was quiet,too quiet. Only the faint hum of the kitchen appliances and the distant chirping of birds outside disturbed the silence. Lucia stood by the counter, stirring a glass of freshly blended fruit slush. She’d barely slept the night before. Every time she closed her eyes, her mind replayed the same moment—the warmth of Adrian’s breath on her neck, the feel of his hands around her waist, the quiet tremor in her chest that refused to fade even now. She told herself it was nothing. Just shock. Just confusion. But her heart clearly didn’t agree. When she heard footsteps approach, her entire body tensed. Adrian strolled into the kitchen, dressed in a white shirt with the top buttons undone, sleeves rolled to his elbows, and a lazy smirk tuggi
