Cole's POV

I didn’t break eye contact with the child even when Eric’s voice cut through the tension.

“What are you talking about, Warren?" he asked. "How do you know she’s Martha’s granddaughter?”

The way he said it told me he was already bracing himself for an answer he didn’t want to hear.

I took a slow breath, grounding myself. My jaw tightened, and my heart was pounding so hard I could feel it in my ears, but my voice came out calmer than I felt.

“Well, because I’ve seen her before,” I said. “And because Martha never spoke about anything in her life the way she spoke about that child.”

Eric’s jaw tightened. Rose shifted in his arms, small fingers clutching the lapel of his suit as if she sensed the tension thickening around us.

“Okay, Cole," he chuckled. "You know that’s not an answer".

“It is,” I replied. "It's just not the one you like.”

I took another step toward them.

Eric immediately backed away, his body angling protectively. “Don’t come closer.”

I ignored him again.

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 98: Bloodlines Unseen

    Cole's POVBy the time I got to the office, my hands were already shaking.Not visibly, though, because no one would ever see that. They were shaking inside. Everything felt unsteady. I nodded at people, returned greetings automatically, stepped into my office, and shut the door behind me with more force than necessary.I loosened my tie, then I tightened it again, but nothing helped.Bella’s voice replayed in my head, no matter how hard I tried to focus on the screen in front of me.I can’t promise that.Those words had followed me all the way here, echoing louder with every mile between the house and the office. I sat behind my desk, stared at my emails, opened one, closed it, opened another, then finally slammed my laptop shut.This was pointless.I leaned back in my chair and scrubbed a hand over my face. I had faced hostile takeovers, boardroom ambushes, public scandals, things that were meant to break men like me.None of them had come close to this.My wife didn’t remember me,

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 97: Him Or Me?

    Bella's POVCole and I never really spoke about Eric again last night. I understood why he must've felt betrayed and heartbroken. But there was nothing I could do... I already told him I didn't do anything with Eric.Even if I wanted to... I didn't. And that was supposed to count for something. But Cole was still moody about me talking and seeing my supposed ex-husband I couldn't even remember.* * *Morning came quietly.I woke before the sun fully rose, the pale gray light slipping through the curtains and stretching across the ceiling. For a few seconds... just a few, I forgot everything. Forgot the tension between us, I forgot the look on Cole’s face last night.Then reality settled back.Miles stirred beside me, making a soft sound in his sleep. I turned my head and watched him, his tiny fist curled near his mouth, his lashes resting against his cheeks. He looked so peaceful. So untouched by everything that felt like it was breaking apart around me.I reached out and brushed my t

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 96: In The Quiet Between Us

    Bella's POVCole had gone into the bathroom to have a quick shower while I sat cross-legged on the bed with Miles in front of me, my back against the headboard, my attention entirely on the tiny human wobbling between my legs.He kicked his feet happily, his little hands waving in the air.“Hey... careful,” I murmured, smiling despite myself. “You’re going to roll right off the bed.”Miles responded with a loud giggle, then promptly leaned forward and planted his forehead against my chest. I laughed softly and steadied him, brushing my fingers through his soft hair.“You’re trouble,” I told him gently. “I can already tell.”He grabbed my finger with surprising strength and squealed, delighted, like he’d just won something important.The bathroom door opened.Cole stepped out, steam trailing behind him, a towel wrapped low around his waist. His hair was damp, darker than usual, droplets sliding down his neck and shoulders. When he saw us on the bed together, he stopped and just watched

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 95: Where My Heart Wanders

    Bella's POVI practically ran out of Eric’s office.My heart was still racing, confused and pounding, and wanting things I wasn’t supposed to want. Eric’s voice still echoed behind me—“Bella, wait—”—but I didn’t dare look back. If I did, I knew I wouldn’t leave.And that would be wrong.Everything would be wrong.The second I stepped into the hallway, I straightened immediately and opened the door to the private elevator. I nodded, too breathless to speak. My legs felt shaky, like the ground wasn’t real.The elevator stopped at the basement level. My driver hurried ahead, opening the back door of the car just as I rushed toward it.“Ma’am,” he said, voice calm, but I, on the other hand, wasn’t calm at all.I slid into the seat fast. "Go,” I said. “Please. Just… go.”The door slammed shut, and a second later the car peeled out of the underground lot.I kept twisting back to look through the rear window, half-afraid Eric would appear running after the car, half-terrified that he wouldn’

  • The Billionaire's Secret Baby After Divorce   Chapter 94: Between Two Worlds

    Eric's POVHer lips were right there.Barely a breath away. One inch closer and everything would have happened—the pull, the memory, the spark I’d been craving since the day she lost herself.But right as I started to lean that last impossible inch, Bella froze.Not dramatically. Not visibly at first. Her breathing simply stilled. Her lashes lifted. Her pupils flickered like a shutter closing.Then she slowly and painfully pulled back.I moved without thinking. My hands reached out, sliding around her waist, instinctively pulling her toward me before she could escape the moment.“Bella…” I breathed, my forehead nearly touching hers. “Don’t pull away from me. Please.”I didn’t even recognize my own voice. It was low, raw, cracked at the edges with a kind of vulnerability I never let anyone hear.Her hand rested on my chest warmly and trembling softly, but not in the way I wanted. Not from desire but from hesitation.“No,” she whispered.I swallowed hard. “Why not?”“Eric…” She closed h
