The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 34: Fever
BellaThe next morning, I woke up much earlier than usual because I wanted enough time to prepare myself properly for the business activities scheduled for the day. After freshening up and getting dressed, I stood before the mirror for several moments to make sure that everything looked presentable and professional.Once I felt satisfied with my appearance, I grabbed my phone and checked a few emails that had arrived overnight.Afterward, I finally walked out of my side of the suite. Immediately, something caught my attention.Sebastian was still lying on the couch. I frowned because that was unusual.Normally, he was the one constantly reminding me about punctuality and discipline. Usually, he was already awake before me.Seeing him still asleep this late in the morning felt strange. I slowly walked toward him while studying his face.Then I noticed something else. His body was shivering slightly beneath the blanket.Confusion instantly settled inside my mind. I bent down closer wit
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 33: Slow Burn
Bella When I noticed Damien approaching us, the sight of him immediately made my entire body tense with nervousness all over again. Even though I had spent weeks rebuilding my life and convincing myself that he no longer had any power over my emotions, seeing him standing there still affected me more than I wanted to admit.My fingers slowly tightened around my handbag while my breathing became slightly uneven.For a brief moment, old memories threatened to resurface inside my mind.Fortunately, Sebastian stepped forward before Damien could get anywhere near me. A wave of relief washed over me.I watched Sebastian position himself directly in Damien’s path, completely blocking him from coming any closer to me. For some reason, that simple action made me feel strangely safe.I decided to enter the car while observing the interaction unfolding outside.Even though I could not hear every single word they were exchanging, I could tell from Sebastian’s expression that he was not happy a
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 32: Staycation?
Damon After everything that had happened recently, I started noticing a significant change in Anna’s behavior around the house.She had suddenly become unusually attentive toward me.Every single day, she seemed to be trying harder to impress me in one way or another.Unfortunately, none of her efforts were having the desired effect anymore.If anything, they were only making me feel more exhausted. I wanted why she simply wouldn’t just leave the house like I told her to. That morning, I was sitting inside my home office while working on my laptop.Several company reports were spread across my desk because NovaTech was still dealing with multiple problems.I was trying my best to focus entirely on work.But my thoughts kept drifting elsewhere. Almost every road inside my mind eventually led back to Bella.I sighed deeply and rubbed my forehead. Then a knock suddenly sounded against my door.Without looking up, I already knew who it was.nA moment later, Mandy walked inside carrying a
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 31: Why won’t he just move on?
Bella It was finally the day of the presentation, I woke up feeling both excited and determined to prove myself once again.Ever since joining Sebastian’s company, I had been working tirelessly to establish my place and show everyone exactly what I was capable of accomplishing.This presentation was extremely important because several board members and investors would be attending the meeting.I carefully reviewed my notes one final time before leaving for work.By the time I arrived at the company building, everything was already prepared for the presentation to begin.Several executives greeted me warmly while guiding me toward the conference room.I noticed how even differently everyone treated me now compared to my first day at the company.Back then, many of them had looked at me with doubt and skepticism.Now, most of them treated me with genuine respect and admiration.I walked confidently into the conference room and took my place near the large screen.Sebastian was already
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 30: Permanently Remove
Damien I had just received confirmation that the gifts had successfully reached Bella, so I decided to call her.I hoped she would be in a better mood and finally agree to have a proper conversation with me.For the past several days, I had been constantly searching for opportunities to speak with her and every failed attempt only seemed to increase my desperation to fix the damage I had caused.I sat behind my desk while staring at my phone for several moments before finally pressing the call button and waiting impatiently for her to answer.My heart began beating faster with every passing second because a part of me desperately wanted to hear her voice again.The phone rang several times before someone finally answered the call.Immediately, I straightened inside my chair waiting to hear Bella’s voice on the other side of the line.Instead, I heard someone else entirely.It was Sebastian.My entire expression immediately darkened the moment I recognized his voice.Sebastian sounded
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter 29: Gifts
BellaI had to admit that, thanks to Sebastian, I could not carry out my previous plan to immediately ruin Damien’s business because, as much as I hated admitting it, he was absolutely right.Acting purely out of anger and revenge would only cloud my judgment and eventually hurt my own progress.As much as I desperately wanted to see Damien suffer the consequences of his actions, I also knew that Sebastian was correct when he said emotions could easily lead to reckless decisions.This was supposed to be the period where I rebuilt my life completely instead of allowing my past to control my future.That morning, I was sitting at the dining table enjoying breakfast while reviewing several files on my tablet.The apartment felt peaceful, and for the first time in a while, I could actually enjoy my mornings without waking up with anxiety.A few moments later, Sebastian walked into the dining area carrying several folders in his hands.He sat across from me before placing the documents on
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter Twelve: Public Announcement
BellaI remained inside my room, occasionally looking out through the large windows while trying not to think too much.Unfortunately, that proved impossible.Every time I closed my eyes, the memory of losing my unborn child resurfaced.A soft knock suddenly interrupted my thoughts.Before I could
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter Eleven: What did I hear?
Damien “Dammit.” I rubbed my head in frustration. I sat behind my desk inside my bedroom, reviewing several reports that had accumulated during the past few days.Unfortunately, my concentration remained poor.Every few minutes, my attention drifted away from the documents.The company had become
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter Ten: Revenge
BellaThe following morning, Sebastian returned exactly as promised.By then, I had already spent most of the night staring at the ceiling, replaying every detail of our conversation.Part of me still struggled to believe that any of it was real. After everything I had lost, it almost felt too good
The Billionaire’s Rival Contract Chapter Nine: A Deal
Bella“Choices?”A bitter laugh escaped my lips the moment the call disconnected.The sound felt painful.Because my father was talking as though I had thrown away my life on purpose.As though everything that happened had been some reckless decision instead of a series of sacrifices made for peopl
