Azalea’s POV

Talking with Noah had actually eased the burden and the feelings I had bottled up.

I didn’t know what I would have done during the drive if I had kept thinking about Ace, the way his stares had made me feel.

I couldn’t even read his expression during the meeting. He kept looking at my stomach, but I didn’t know what he was thinking.

Was it regret?

Regret for me, for the unborn baby?

Or did he still think I was lying?

I was confused.

I should have been angry at him, I should have resisted the urge to feel anything for him again.

I should have stormed out of the meeting and told him I wasn't interested like I had planned in my head, but that would put Noah's company in a tight corner.

Instead, I found myself imagining how good of a father he could be, if he realized I was carrying his child.

Or maybe this was a curse? Other women would be furious.

But here I was, fantasizing.

I noticed the stares as soon as I walked into the building. Sharp, heavy, and full of judgment.

  • The Billionaire's Perfect Mistake    Chapter 29

    Ace’s POV"I told her to be my girlfriend just to make you jealous," I admitted, the words hanging in the air like something rotten.Even I cringed. “Ugh,” I groaned, dragging a hand down my face. “I almost gagged just saying that.”What the hell was I thinking?Seriously, what exactly was going through my head back then?Note to self: never, ever let jealousy drive decisions. Ever.She gave me that look, the one that made it clear I had just said the dumbest thing in the history of dumb things. Like I was some annoying ad that kept popping up when she was trying to work.A buzz pulled me from her glare. I checked my phone. A message from Abigail: It’s all done.I smirked and looked at Lea.“You can check your phone,” I said, tilting my head. “The tabloids, it’s all gone. Scrubbed clean.”She didn’t even flinch. Just crossed her arms and said flatly, “Gone from the internet, not from people’s memory.”I blinked. “Can you be grateful for like… ten seconds?”“You should be grateful inst

    Ace's POVDring Dring.For the fifth damn time, my phone rang.“Christ!” I muttered through gritted teeth, blindly reaching for it on the nightstand.Abigail. I groaned louder when I saw the caller ID. I’d told her specifically— no disturbances today. She was supposed to handle all the office affairs.“What do you want?” I snapped, my voice rough with sleep and annoyance.“Sir, I think you should check your phone. There’s a not-so-good blog post about you,” she said hurriedly.“What do you mean?” I pushed the phone away from my ear to glance at the time. 7 a.m.? “What kind of blog post?”“I– I can’t say. Just check it,” she stammered. It sounded more like a desperate plea than a request.“Fine. I will check it.” I ended the call with a sigh, dragging my heavy body up from the bed.*What could possibly be so urgent that she had to wake me up like this?*I opened my news feed, where all blogs and breaking updates hit first, and froze.My jaw dropped.What the hell?!Sleep vanished from

    Azalea's POVI called Lara the moment I got in the taxi. She picked after two rings and by the time I got home, she was already waiting in front of my apartment.Tell me why I shouldn’t love this woman."What happened to you?" she asked, eyes scanning me as I fumbled with my key."That guy is freaking me out.""Who?""Ace, of course," I said, yanking the door open. "I hate him.""You mean today?""When else? Obviously today. Just a few hours after our meeting.""Okay…""He came to my workplace, Lara.""Wait, he came to your workplace? What for?""To take me somewhere. Said he wanted to talk.""And you followed him?""Do I look like I had a choice? He kept saying ‘get in, get in’! All those eyes on me and he was sitting in his car like he owns the fucking planet.""So, where did he take you to?""To a clinic. For a paternity test.""Are you kidding me?!""No, I’m not," I threw my bag on the couch. "I'm annoyed. I'm literally boiling inside."Lara looked at me, wide-eyed, like she was t

    Ace’s POVYup, I was finally insane.I just couldn’t get my mind off the little drama they had performed during the meeting.Why were they smiling at each other like that?Did she like him too?Was that how easy she was?Shit!I took a slight glance at the lady sitting beside me. She had shifted uncomfortably after I had told her to get in.“Why should I?” She had asked, but seeing how impatient I was, she had finally given in.I had never waited for a lady like that in my entire life, and now I just did that.I waited for about three hours, my eyes were stuck on the door and I prayed she would come out soon, without Noah catching a glimpse of me.I didn’t know why I was worried about that, but I was.“Is this the time you normally close for work?” Had I asked that out of curiosity? No idea.I just knew I was feeling angry. Very angry. Why would a pregnant woman be allowed to work in the first place?Damn! She wasn’t even carrying my baby. I didn’t know why I was freaking out about i

    Noah’s POV Her smile was exactly like hers. I didn’t even know what to do. Why did she remind me so much of Anna?Why?I should have been angry, but instead, I was here, trying to get closer to her, trying to know her more.The flashbacks hit me again, but harder this time, with a surge of emotions.“Darling, where are we going?” she giggled as she held my hand in hers.“Just guess,” I replied without taking my eyes off the road.It was getting dark, and the cars on the road were far fewer now.I had planned to take her there, a place she had always wanted to go for so long.“You know I’m really, really bad at guessing,” she pouted like a child.I laughed and held her hand tighter. The sky grew darker by the second.“Do you think it’s going to rain?” she asked worriedly.“I think so.” By that time, I was already wondering if I made the right choice picking this day for a surprise.A sudden thunder made us jump, but I held her hand tighter to show I was right there beside her.I was s
