Ace's POV

I raced down the quiet, polished hospital hallway like my life depended on it. My chest heaved with each step, my heart pounding loud enough to drown out the soft murmurs of nurses and the hum of fluorescent lights overhead. The doctor’s voice still echoed in my ears.

"She’s awake now. You can go see her.” he had said.

She was awake.

Relief and fear tangled inside me, tightening my throat. Part of me wanted to burst through the door, pull her into my arms, and never let go. The other part, the darker, louder part, reminded me of why she was on this hospital bed to begin with.

It was all because of me.

The door to her room was slightly ajar. I slowed my steps, my pulse still erratic as I approached. I was holding the flowers I bought earlier, pale pink roses. The kind I knew she liked because I paid attention to ridiculous details when it came to her, whether I admitted it or not.

But just as I reached the door, I stopped. I could see inside, and what I saw twisted somethin

  • The Billionaire's Perfect Mistake    Chapter 54

    Azalea's POVThe first thing I noticed was the sharp, metallic smell of blood lingering faintly in the air. My nose wrinkled instinctively as I forced my heavy eyelids open. White walls. A dull beeping sound somewhere nearby. My head pounded like I’d been run over by a truck.“Lea?” Lara’s voice broke through the haze, soft but shaky.I groaned, trying to sit up, but my body protested with every tiny movement. My lower back ached, my legs felt like a heavy log of wood, and my stomach, I instinctively placed a hand there, relief washing through me at the familiar, gentle rise beneath my palm.“I’m sorry,” I croaked, my voice weak and scratchy. “I ruined our vacation.”Lara let out a small laugh, her eyes watery but filled with that usual sass of hers. “Oh yeah, best vacation ever. You collapsing dramatically in the middle of the resort, definitely makes the highlight reel.”Despite how awful I felt, a small, dry laugh escaped my lips. “Always gotta steal the spotlight,” I mumbled, att

    Ace's POVThe moment I stepped into the room, my heart slowed. She was asleep now, her face calm, her breathing soft and steady. It was the most peaceful thing I’d ever seen.Azalea.Her cheeks still looked a little pale, but there was color returning. Her lips were parted slightly as she slept, her dark lashes resting against her skin.I almost forgot how to breathe while watching her.“She’ll be fine,” Lara’s voice came from behind me, soft but steady.I didn’t look back. My eyes were glued to Azalea.The relief in my chest didn’t last long though. The guilt came creeping in, choking me from the inside out. My mind kept replaying what happened earlier, over and over, like a nightmare on repeat.I thought we were going to lose the baby.That thought, it terrified me more than I wanted to admit. I wasn’t prepared for how much I cared. For how much I wanted this child.Even with the uncertainty, even with the doubts twisting inside me like a knife, I wanted this.I wanted to be a fathe

    Escola's POVWatching him rush after Azalea, something twisted in my chest. I almost couldn’t believe it. Seeing Ace Black, yes, Ace Black, the man my father wanted me to marry in support of his campaign, dashing after her like that made my heart flutter in a way I didn't expect.Why was I jealous? What the hell was wrong with me?In my mind, I had pictured someone else entirely. A rich, cold-blooded heir, puffed-up, full of himself, a caricature of arrogance. But it turned out to be Ace, and he looked utterly different in person tonight. His shirt was slightly rumpled, sleeves rolled up, and his face was etched with concern and panic that went beyond play-acting when he saw Azalea. I realized then I was drawn to something real. His worry, his immediate reaction… it touched something inside me.Even earlier at the bar when his text, “You’re late,” flashed on my phone, I’d felt irritated. I thought, 'Who does he think he is?' I sat in the car and was deliberately a few minutes late

  • The Billionaire's Perfect Mistake    Chapter 51

    Ace's POV The chair I was sitting on fell backward with a loud, awkward clatter. My heart slammed hard against my ribcage, and from the look on Escola’s face, I wasn’t the only one shocked.“What happened?” Escola asked, turning around to follow my frozen stare.I barely heard her. My eyes were locked on Azalea, the one woman I had desperately hoped wouldn’t be here tonight, not like this, not seeing what she just saw.Her friend was jogging towards her, worry plastered all over her face.I didn't even think twice. My body moved on its own as I followed them, weaving past people, ignoring the lingering stares and whispered conversations.I wanted to explain. I needed to.I had only just arrived at that table. Escola was joking, hell, I was about to shut her down myself. I wasn’t here to get married, wasn’t here to follow my father’s ridiculous plan. And despite everything, despite how much of a wreck I was, I found myself getting attached to Azalea more than I ever thought possible.

  • The Billionaire's Perfect Mistake    Chapter 50

    Azalea's POV“Oh my goodness, look at the stars,” Lara exclaimed as we sat by the pool, completely exhausted from today’s activities.Even though I was pregnant, I didn’t let that stop me from having fun. I swam and even went to the game yard. It had been such a long time since I played soccer, and of course, we started the day with spa treatments. That was the very first thing we went for. My body still felt soft from the massage, but my legs were screaming from all the soccer.“I’m so exhausted,” I groaned, not taking my eyes off the stars Lara was pointing at.“Of course, you should be,” she laughed, shaking her head at me. “You’re carrying a whole human inside you and you did all that? I’m so proud of you,” she grinned, her smile stretching wide across her face.I returned her smile, feeling that familiar warmth in my chest. She stood up carefully and stretched out her hands to me. “Let’s go back to the room,” she said.“And maybe grab some drinks,” I winked, teasing her.“Nope,”
