The Billionaire’s Rival Contract The End
Bella Against every ounce of my better judgment, I stood up from my chair and walked over to the tall, floor-to-ceiling glass windows that overlooked the bustling street below. I pressed my hands against the cool glass, looking down at the pavement outside the corporate entrance.A moment later, I saw Sebastian step out through the glass revolving doors of the building.My breath caught in my throat.Waiting on the sidewalk outside was a stunning, elegantly dressed woman with long, blonde hair and a radiant smile. As Sebastian walked up to her, his face—the same cold, emotionless mask he had worn inside the meeting room— melted.A warm, gentle smile spread across his face. He leaned down, laughing warmly at something she said, and pulled a small, beautifully wrapped designer gift box out of his coat pocket, handing it directly to her. She beamed, wrapping her arms around his neck in a happy, affectionate hug.A wave of pure jealousy and white-hot rage crashed over my ribs, stealing t
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 137: Why So Cold?
BellaFrom the moment I stepped through the glass doors of our regional headquarters, I could tell something strange was going on. Julian had been acting entirely suspicious all morning. He kept dodging my questions, pacing back and forth near my desk with a strange, nervous energy, and flashing these weird, tight-lipped smiles whenever our eyes met."Julian, are you okay?" I had asked him during our morning briefing, narrowing my eyes at him. "You look like you're hiding a body.""Me? Hiding a body? Please, I'm just reviewing the quarterly reports," he had stammered quickly, waving a handful of papers before practically sprinting down the hallway.I shook my head, assuming he was just stressed about the upcoming corporate expansion, and forced myself to push it out of my mind. I had too much actual work to focus on. With our new multi-million-dollar partnership fully underway, my desk was buried under stacks of financial documents, logistics schedules, and architectural layouts for o
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 136: Divorce
SebastianThe glare of the desk lamp cut through the shadows of my study. I sat alone in the leather armchair, my phone gripped so tightly in my hand that my knuckles ached.The image of Bella at the grand product conference kept playing over and over in my mind like a broken film reel.I could still see the tailored navy-blue blazer she was wearing, the elegant way her dark hair was pulled back, and the cold, untouchable look in her eyes when she saw me. She had looked stunning—brilliant, powerful, and completely out of reach. But what had burned a hot, agonizing hole straight through my chest wasn't just the sight of her walking away from me.It was the way she had looked standing next to that man. Julian.The CEO of the regional firm, the man she was working alongside day in and day out. I had seen the way she leaned into his space, the way he looked at her with such easy familiarity, and how easily she smiled in his presence.A toxic, blinding wave of jealousy coiled tightly aroun
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 135: Don’t Show Up
Bella Three months.Ninety days since I walked out of that hell with a stack of discharge papers clutched in my hand and a fire burning in my chest.In that short amount of time, my entire life had transformed. Working alongside Julian, pouring every ounce of my pain, focus, and sleepless energy into rebuilding his company’s regional branch, had paid off beyond our wildest expectations. We had taken a struggling, empty office and turned it into a powerhouse. Today was the culmination of all those months of brutal work—our grand product launch conference.The hotel ballroom was a dazzling sea of bright camera flashes, expensive suits, glittering evening gowns, and the sharp hum of successful business executives.I stood near the edge of the stage, smoothing down the front of my sharp, tailored navy-blue blazer. My hair was pulled back into a sleek, elegant knot, and my posture was rigid and confident. From the outside, I was the picture of a cold, untouchable corporate director.Insid
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 134: You Poor Thing
Sebastian"Oh, Mr. Sebastian, you poor thing," Clara murmured softly.I felt the cushion beside me dip down. I looked up, rubbing my tired eyes, and saw that Clara had sat down right next to me on the sofa.Normally, Clara kept a strict, professional distance. She was just a maid—she knew her place, kept her head down, and spoke only when spoken to. But right now, she was sitting uncomfortably close."You've been stressing yourself sick over her for days," Clara whispered, her voice taking on a strange, sweet, almost intimate tone. She reached out, her fingers lightly brushing against my shoulder, sliding down toward my arm. "You shouldn't torture yourself like this over someone who clearly doesn't appreciate how hard you tried to protect her."A cold prickle of discomfort brushed against the back of my neck. I shifted my weight, pulling slightly away from her touch."Clara, thank you, but... I'm just tired," I said, my voice heavy. "Please just go back to your duties.""Are you sure
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 133: Where is my Wife?!
SebastianThe glass doors of the psychiatric facility slid open, and I stepped into the familiar, bright lobby. My heart beat a little faster with nervousness. Today was Tuesday—an official visiting day. The days of waiting had felt like an eternity. I had the small, elegant white box with her favorite raspberry-filled pastry tucked securely under my arm. This time, nobody was going to stop me from seeing my wife.I walked straight up to the front desk, offering the receptionist a tight, eager smile."Good morning," I said, leaning over the counter. "Sebastian Sebastian. I'm here to visit my wife, Bella."The receptionist looked up, blinking in surprise. She turned back to her computer screen, her fingers clicking quickly across the keyboard. She stopped typing, frowning slightly as she stared at the monitor."Mr. Sebastian... let me check the transfer logs," she muttered, tapping the mouse again. Her brow furrowed deeper. "That's strange. Her name isn't showing up as active in the st
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter One: Why must you hurt me over and over again?
BellaGritting my teeth through the ache, I pushed myself forward, one slow step after another, my knees wobbling beneath me as I forced them not to give out.And then I saw my husband’s car and well, I couldn’t help it. My face lit up and just like that, all of it got a little lighter. I even quic
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter Five: Giving up on him at last
Bella I woke up slowly.The harsh fluorescent lights above me stabbed into my eyes the moment my eyelids fluttered open.Pain greeted me before awareness did.A dull ache pulsed through my entire body, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my abdomen. Every tiny movement seemed to pull at som
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter Four: He chose her over me
Bella The question hit me so hard that for a moment, I forgot how to breathe.Before I could even process it, Damien cleared his throat and his voice carried across the entire office.“This is Anna Sanders,” he announced. “She’ll be taking over the Vega project from now on.”For a second, I just s
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter Three: Is she his lover?
Bella I followed behind them quietly, though my steps gradually slowed.By the time I reached the guest room, Damien had already helped Anna onto the bed.He lowered her carefully, one arm supporting her back while the other remained around her waist. Even after she was seated comfortably, he didn
