The words from Robert still buzzed in my mind, a sharp, stinging reminder that no matter how hard we fought, no matter how strong our foundation seemed, the battle was far from over. I told you this wasn’t over. Watch your back.

It was as if the universe refused to let us rest. After everything we had been through—the trials, the growth, the vision we had fought so hard to build—it felt as if we were on the cusp of something beautiful. But just when I thought we could finally catch our breath, Robert's message arrived like a punch to the gut. The warning wasn’t just an inconvenience—it was a clear signal that the storm hadn’t passed. It felt like it was only just beginning.

I turned to Alexander, my heart a mess of swirling emotions. His calm demeanor never wavered, but I could see the edge of something sharper beneath the surface. The protective instinct he always carried was now in full force.

“Robert’s playing games again,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “He’s threatening

  • The Billionaire's Reluctant Bride    Chapter 300

    The phone call from Robert echoed in my mind long after I had hung up. His voice, smooth and chilling, was a reminder that no matter how far we thought we’d come, the battles we faced were never really over. But this time was different. It wasn’t just about the company. It wasn’t just about the business or the threats. This time, it was about us. About everything we had built, not just as partners in a deal, but as a couple. As a team. As a family.I looked up at Alexander, who had been standing quietly beside me, his presence the steady anchor I needed to keep myself grounded. We had been through so much—more than I had ever imagined, more than I ever thought we could withstand. But here we were. Together.“We’ve been fighting for so long,” I whispered, my voice barely audible in the silence that had descended between us. “But now, I feel like we’re just beginning.”Alexander’s eyes softened, and he stepped closer, his hand gently brushing the side of my face, lifting my chin so that

    The words Sophie had spoken still echoed in my mind. We’ve found the mole. I had barely processed the enormity of what she was saying when my fingers trembled against the phone, as if I could somehow steady the storm that was gathering inside me. Robert was playing a game on a level I hadn’t anticipated, and now, it wasn’t just about the company or the fight for our future—it was about betrayal.The silent dread I’d felt in the past few moments wasn’t just the weight of the business decisions or the personal stakes anymore. It was the realization that someone close to us had sold us out. They had been feeding Robert information. Our information. And every moment we spent uncovering the layers of this conspiracy, the deeper the pit in my stomach grew.I turned to Alexander, who had been standing quietly beside me, his eyes reflecting a calm I was beginning to envy. He knew the stakes. He always did. But the way his hand reached for mine, the quiet strength in his touch, reassured me. N

    The moment Sophie spoke, the words themselves seemed to shift the ground beneath my feet. “It’s worse than we thought.”The room seemed to shrink in on itself. I could feel the chill creeping back into my chest, the anxiety knotting up inside me once more. Whatever news Sophie had come to deliver, it wasn’t just business. It was something bigger. Something more personal.Alexander’s hand, firm and steady, still gripped mine, but I could sense the same quiet tension that had been present before. He wasn’t showing it, but I knew him too well. We had faced many storms together, but something about this felt different. More dangerous. More insidious.“I don’t understand,” I said, my voice rising slightly in disbelief. “What do you mean it’s worse? What’s happening?”Sophie stepped into the room, her eyes darting between Alexander and me, searching for some kind of grounding in the storm. “Robert’s been planning this for months. It’s not just about the company anymore. He’s moving into our

    I didn’t realize how much I had been holding my breath until Sophie’s words settled into my chest. Someone’s been feeding him information. We’ve got a mole.The weight of that statement hung in the air, suffocating any peace I’d managed to find. A mole. Someone on the inside, working against us. I felt the familiar cold clutch of betrayal settle over me, creeping into the spaces between my ribs. Betrayal always tasted the same—bitter, poisonous—but this? This was different. This was a threat I hadn’t seen coming.“Leila,” Sophie’s voice crackled through the phone, dragging me back to the moment. “We need to find out who it is. If we don’t, Robert will have everything we’ve worked for before we can even react.”I swallowed, pushing past the rush of panic that rose in my throat. “Do you have any leads? Any idea who could be involved?”There was a pause on the other end of the line, a brief hesitation that spoke volumes. “Not yet,” Sophie replied, the frustration in her voice palpable. “

    The buzzing of the phone echoed in the quiet room, sharp and insistent, like a reminder that the world outside was far from the peace we had built inside these walls. I had hoped for a moment longer, just a moment, to breathe, to enjoy the feeling of—of being together without any looming threats or doubts.But then Robert’s name flashed across the screen.My fingers hovered over the screen for a moment before I pressed accept, feeling my heart race as the seconds ticked by.“Leila,” his voice came through the phone, smooth and controlled, as always. “I think it’s time we had a little chat.”I could feel the weight of his words settle over me, his calm, calculating tone making my stomach twist. But I didn’t flinch. I didn’t give him the satisfaction of showing how much his presence still unnerved me. Not this time. Not after everything we had been through.“I’m listening,” I said, my voice steady, despite the storm brewing inside me.There was a brief silence on the other end, then a s

  • The Billionaire's Reluctant Bride    Chapter 295

    The air around us crackled with tension as I ended the call with Sophie. Her words, once a murmur on the other side of the line, now echoed loudly in my mind. It’s not just Robert. We’ve uncovered something else. Something even bigger.I could feel Alexander's gaze on me, his presence like a steady anchor, even though his thoughts were no doubt racing. The moment we had just shared—the promise of a future that wasn’t consumed by the next battle, the next fight—now seemed like an illusion, slipping away as quickly as it had arrived.Sophie had said it. Something bigger. My stomach twisted at the thought. What did she mean by that? And if Robert wasn’t the only threat we faced, who else could be pulling the strings?I turned toward Alexander, trying to find the calm I knew he could give me, but it was harder to find this time. His eyes locked onto mine with the same fierce determination they always had, but this time, there was something else. A flicker of doubt. It wasn’t much—barely n
