Mia's POV

It was evening and the service was finally over. Alan stayed close to me the entire time, and when it was clear that most people were leaving, his hand found mine again, and he gently tugged me toward the driveway.

“Let me walk you to your car,” he said softly.

I nodded. “Okay.”

We stepped outside together, the gravel crunching beneath our feet. For a while, neither of us spoke. The air felt heavy, but full, like it was holding all the unsaid things between us. I was the first to brea

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 163: Her Fears

    Mia's POVThe call had barely ended when a knock sounded on my bedroom door... three soft knocks.I groaned."Dave, if that's you, please go bother someone else for five minutes."The knocking stopped. I rolled my eyes and pushed myself off the bed, but the second I opened the door, my words died in my throat.It wasn't Dave, it was the woman from the front porch earlier. The same woman who had looked at me with shock and disgust before disappearing into the house."Oh." I immediately straightened. "Hello."She offered a small smile."Hello, Mia."I awkwardly tucked a strand of hair behind my ear."I'm sorry if my arrival caused any inconvenience. You left so quickly earlier, and I thought maybe I made you uncomfortable."The woman's expression softened. "Can I come in?""Of course."I stepped aside as she entered slowly and quietly, taking in the room before walking toward the chair beside the bed. I closed the door behind her, and for a few moments, neither of us spoke.Then she fol

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 162: Settling In My Second Home

    Mia's POVThe entire drive was silent as I sat beside Eric with my arms folded tightly across my chest while the city lights blurred past the window. My mind was still replaying everything that happened at the party over and over again, like some terrible movie I couldn’t pause.I swallowed hard and turned my face away from the window. I should have cared more. But maybe I did care, I just... couldn’t stop myself from leaving, not after finding out my whole life had basically been one gigantic lie.The car slowly turned through enormous black gates, and I blinked softly when I saw the massive estate ahead of us. The driveway curved around a fountain before Eric finally parked in front of the mansion, and for a second, I just stared at it.This was his home, my real father’s home. Of course, the thought still felt strange in my head, and before I could process it further, movement on the front porch caught my attention.Dave... of course. The annoying boy from my— now former — universi

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 161: It's Over

    Cole's POVI knew something terrible was going to happen the second Mia walked away from me. The look in her eyes, I had never seen it before. I had not seen it towards Bella, not toward anyone, and not even towards me.It was the look of betrayal. Raw, devastating betrayal, and by the time I finally pushed through the crowd to reach the front driveway, I was already too late.Eric Damon’s car was pulling out of the estate gates with Mia inside.I froze.And for what felt like forever, I just stood there watching the taillights disappear into the night. My daughter was leaving with another man, her biological father, and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it.Behind me, guests were already gathering their belongings awkwardly, whispering among themselves after the disaster Bella had unintentionally broadcast to the entire party.The graduation celebration was over. It was ruined, destroyed in less than ten minutes.I inhaled slowly and turned around. Some guests avoided my

    Mia's POVI hadn't gone far before Nikolas rushed over to me and grabbed my wrist.“Nikolas, move," I said.“Mia, wait," he sighed.“I said move.”“Please,” he urged quietly. “Let them sort it out themselves.”I stared at him in disbelief.“My mother is out there with Eric.”“Yes, I know that. And I also know that they're adults, and are both capable of handling their issues themselves.”I scoffed.“You think this is going to end well if I let my mum be there alone with that monster?”Nikolas sighed softly.“I just don’t think you should involve yourself in whatever history they have.”I pulled my hand away from him.“I’m already involved,” I snapped. “I became involved the second my mother revealed to me about him.”Nikolas opened his mouth to respond but another voice interrupted us.“Mia?”I turned and saw my Dad walking toward us through the crowd. He looked confused, concerned, and slightly out of breath.“There you are,” he said. “Have you seen your mother? There’s something I n

    Mia's POVA few hours later, I was still in Nikolas’s room, completely unaware of time. We had somehow gone from just resting for a little while to lying tangled together on his bed while he absentmindedly played with my fingers and kissed my shoulder every few minutes.The room was dim, and honestly... I could’ve stayed there the entire night.Then suddenly—“Mia!”My mother’s voice echoed from outside, and I jumped slightly, then another knock followed.“Mia, open the door!”Nikolas burst out laughing immediately.“She sounds serious.”“Oh my God.”I quickly got off the bed while trying to smooth down my wrinkled clothes as another knock came.“Mia!”“I’m coming!” I shouted back.Nikolas looked entirely too amused watching me panic. I glared at him before opening the door, but the second the door swung open, my Mom froze because she wasn’t standing in front of my room, she was standing in front of Nikolas’s guest room.And there I was... inside it.For a solid three seconds, neither

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 158: A Few Hours Before The Party

    Mia's POVI headed straight for my father’s office after separating from Nikolas. The deeper I walked into the mansion, the more obvious it became that my mother had practically declared war on event planning as the staff moved around nonstop. There were flowers everywhere.I even spotted people carrying what looked like an entire ice sculpture through one of the hallways.I laughed quietly to myself. Mom had definitely lost her mind.By the time I reached Dad’s office door, I could already hear his voice from inside.He was on a call.I knocked lightly before pushing the door open. Dad looked up immediately, and the second he saw me, his expression softened instantly.“Alright,” he said quickly into the phone. “We’ll continue this later.”He didn’t even wait for a response before ending the call.“Hey, sweetheart.”I smiled automatically. “Hey, Dad.”He got up immediately and walked around the desk toward me, then he hugged me.“I missed you,” he murmured softly.I smiled against his
