Bella's POV

The soft glow of the setting sun shimmered through the glass walls of the building as I stepped out of the elevator. When I stepped outside, the air felt heavy with that faint scent that always told when rain was about to fall.

I exhaled quietly. My back ached. My head throbbed. All I wanted was to get home, eat something small, and fall into Cole’s arms before sleep took me. The day in the office had stretched too long. The driver opened the car door before I even reached him, bowi

    Mia's POVNikolas stepped forward immediately.“Sir,” he said calmly, “I think you should leave.”But Eric didn’t move, he didn’t even look at him properly. His eyes stayed fixed on me as he slowly walked closer.My entire body stiffened but I ignored him completely. Instead, I grabbed one of my bags and dragged it toward the trunk of Nikolas’ car.“Help me load these,” I muttered to Nikolas angrily. “So we can leave quickly since the rapist apparently doesn’t know when to go away.”The word hit him instantly, I saw it on his face.Eric stopped walking. “What?”I slammed the trunk open harder than necessary as Nikolas quietly picked up another bag, while Eric stepped forward again slowly.“Mia,” he said carefully, “I’m not a rapist.”I laughed bitterly under my breath.“Sure.”“I don’t even understand where this is coming from.”I ignored him.“Mia.”Still nothing, and his voice became more desperate.“If you wanted me to stay away from you, you could’ve just said so.”I shoved anothe

    Mia's POVI stared at Eric Damon’s number on my screen for what felt like the hundredth time. My thumb hovered over the call button, but I couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t.I sighed sharply and started pacing across my room again, gripping my phone tightly while my thoughts spiraled.This was ridiculous. Why was I nervous? Why was I even hesitating?I hated him now. Didn’t I?Yes, of course I did.But every time I remembered the man from brunch, the man who laughed softly over the phone, the man who asked me how my morning was going, the man who looked weirdly happy just sitting across from me, my chest tightened painfully because none of it matched the story my mother told me, and that made everything worse.“Mia.”I ignored Nikolas and kept pacing.“Mia.”“I’m trying,” I muttered.“You’ve been trying for twenty minutes.”I stopped walking and glared at him slightly.“This isn’t easy you know.”“I know,” he said gently from the bed. “But you need to do it.”I groaned and rubbed my for

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 153: A Tensed Flight Back

    Bella's POVThe plane doors closed behind us as we settled and the exhaustion finally hit me. It was an emotional exhaustion... the kind that settled deep inside your chest and refused to leave.I leaned back against my seat as the private jet prepared for takeoff, my fingers resting against the armrest while I stared blankly ahead. Across from my husband and I, Miles already had his headphones on, completely absorbed in his phone like the world around him didn’t exist.I envied him.Beside me, Cole adjusted his seatbelt quietly. I could feel him glancing at me every now and then like he wanted to say something.And honestly?I already knew what it was. I just hoped he wouldn’t.The plane slowly began moving.Then finally—“Bella, baby.”There it was.I sighed softly without looking at him.“Yes?”His voice was calm.“Why did you tell Mia that Eric raped you?”I let out a small laugh.Of course, he went straight to it.I turned slightly toward him.“That’s what’s bothering you?”“Yes,

    Mia's POVHis lips were still on mine when he suddenly slowed, and the kiss softened. Then he paused, and then he stopped completely.I blinked slightly, still breathless, my fingers curled lightly into the front of his shirt as I looked up at him. Nikolas stared at my face carefully.“What’s wrong?” he asked out of nowhere.I opened my mouth immediately to deny it.“Nothing.”He gave me a look.“Mia.”I sighed softly and looked away. The warmth that had filled the room only moments ago suddenly felt distant, and heavy thoughts came rushing back too quickly.Nikolas gently touched my chin, guiding my face back toward his.“Talk to me, babe.”His voice was soft and patient, and somehow that made it harder because I knew he genuinely cared.I swallowed then exhaled shakily.“A lot happened before graduation,” I admitted quietly.His expression softened instantly.“Okay, sweetie... what happened?”For a moment, I didn’t know where to begin. How did someone even start a conversation like

    Mia's POVI couldn’t look away. I didn’t even realize I was staring until it was too late.Eric stood there, not too far from Alan, dressed just as formally as everyone else, but there was something about him that stood out, maybe it was because I knew now.. knew what he really was and knew what he had done.My chest tightened, my fingers curling slightly around the bouquet in my hand. And then he looked up, straight at me, and our eyes locked. Then for a second, everything around me faded.The noise, the laughter, and the celebration were all gone. It was just him and me.His expression didn’t change much, but then, he raised his hand and gave me a small wave like nothing was wrong and like everything was normal.My stomach turned.I rolled my eyes immediately and looked away, forcing my attention back to Nikolas, who was still speaking with my parents like nothing had just happened.I exhaled quietly, trying to calm myself down, reminding myself to just focus.“Mia?”I blinked.My m

    Mia's POVThe moment I stepped off the stage, everything became noise to me with the loud applause, cheers and people's voices calling my name. It all blended into something overwhelming. I barely remembered walking back to my seat because my mind was still stuck on that moment with my diploma in my hand, coupled with the feeling of finally being done.When the ceremony ended, the crowd slowly began to disperse as students rushed toward their families, and families rushed toward their students and just like that, the formal atmosphere dissolved into laughter, hugs, and celebration.I didn’t wait because the moment I spotted my family, I ran.“Mom!”She turned just in time before I threw my arms around her.“Oh my baby,” she said, holding me tightly. “You did it.”“I did,” I laughed softly, my voice a little shaky.My dad pulled me into a hug next.“I’m super proud of you,” he said.“Thank you, thank you,” I whispered.Miles was next. He hugged me quickly but it was tighter than usual.

    Mia's POVAlan’s hand stayed at the small of my back as he gently guided me away from the cluster of murmuring guests.“Let’s get you a drink,” he murmured, leaning close so only I could hear him. “You look like you need one.”I let out a breathy laugh. “Is it that obvious?”“Yes,” he said fondly.
