The Billionaire’s baby was mine 016
~Elara POV~"He’s... no one," I stammered, my voice barely a whisper against the vast, empty quiet of the foyer. "Just someone from my past. A mistake. It doesn't matter.""It doesn't matter?" Mr. Veyne’s voice was dangerously low, a soft, gravelly tone that sent a shiver straight down my spine.He took a step forward. Instinctively, I took a step back, but my heel hit the hard, carved mahogany of the grand staircase banister. I was trapped.He didn't stop. He closed the remaining distance between us until his towering frame completely swallowed my line of sight. The faint, intoxicating scent of cedarwood and cold rain wrapped around me like a trap as he raised one hand, placing his palm on the banister right beside my head."A man dragged you down a public street, Elara," he murmured, leaning down into my space until his dark eyes held mine pinned to the spot. "He put his hands on you. And you tell me it doesn't matter?""I didn't want a scene at the university," I gasped ou

~Elara POV~The color drained from my face as Steve stepped out from the shadow of the stone archway, blocking the path near the main campus plaza.He looked worse than the last time I’d seen him—messy dark hair, a rumpled jacket, and a raw, erratic energy in his eyes that set off immediate alarm bells in my chest. Hundreds of students were milling across the surrounding lawns, clutching review folders and chatting after the exams."Well, look who finally shows up," Steve sneered, his gaze locking onto mine with a sickening mix of relief and fury. "I’ve been looking for you for a year now, Elara. You changed your number, you cleared out of the apartment—where the hell have you been vanishing to?""Steve," I said, keeping my voice low and tight as I subtly shifted in front of Sam. "What are you doing here?""Asking you what the hell is going on!" he snapped, taking a threatening step closer. "You think you can just drop off the face of the earth? We’re going to talk. Right now."

~Elara POV~Morning light poured through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows of my bedroom, painting the white sheets in a soft, golden glow.Beside me, Liam was already awake, lying on his back and kicking his small legs in the air while letting out a series of high-pitched, happy babbles. Sitting on the edge of the mattress, Sam was using a plush stuffed bear to play a dramatic game of peek-a-boo, making Liam burst into a wet, chesty giggle. Beside her lay an open textbook, heavily highlighted in yellow—proof of another late-night study session we had powered through together.I sat up, pushing my tangled hair out of my face, a small smile instantly forming."Look who finally decided to join the living," Sam teased, glancing over her shoulder with a grin. "Your little buddy here has been up since six. He’s practically demanding his morning bottle, and I was trying to review my economics notes while keeping him entertained.""He’s not my son, Sam," I corrected gently, though my

~Lucien POV~The estate was dead silent by 1:00 AM.I pulled the Maybach up the main drive, the dark glass of the mansion reflecting nothing back against the night. Stepping into the grand foyer, I tossed my suit jacket onto the leather armchair near the entrance, loosened my tie, and unbuttoned the top button of my shirt. A long, exhausting emergency boardroom session in the city had drained what little patience I had left for the day. My mind was still running through legal figures, financial projections, and corporate strategy, weighed down by the constant demands of running an empire.I walked down the main marble corridor toward the back of the house, expecting nothing but dim security lights, quiet hallways, and empty rooms.Instead, a warm, rich scent drifted through the hallway—roasted garlic, butter, and freshly baked dough.I stopped right at the archway of the dining room.The crystal chandelier overhead had been dimmed to a soft, amber glow. At the far end of the

~Elara POV~The heavy security gates of the Veyne estate parted in absolute silence, welcoming the Maybach up the sweeping, manicured driveway. As the sleek car rolled to a halt, I stepped out into the crisp afternoon air, holding Liam securely against my chest. My heart was still beating against my chest, a remaining echo of Steve’s chilling voice over the phone. Every rustle of the old oak trees and every shadow along the clean stone pathways felt like a potential threat.But as I stepped through the grand double doors of the mansion, I forced my features into a calm, unbothered mask. I refused to let anyone here see how close I was to breaking.Clara, the senior head housekeeper, was waiting in the foyer alongside Lilian, one of the estate’s quietest and most efficient junior maids. Clara’s posture was impeccably upright, her gaze sharp yet polite as she greeted us."Welcome back, Miss Elara, Master Liam," Clara said smoothly, inclining her head. "The representatives from th

~Elara POV~ The heavy doors of the private elevator slide open silently, and the freezing, clinical air of the VIP wing hits me like a wall. I instinctively pull baby Liam closer to my chest, a small shiver running down my arms. Before I can even take a step into the quiet, marble-lined corridor, a heavy warmth suddenly drops over my bare shoulders. I pause, looking down. Lucien’s charcoal suit jacket is draped around me, instantly shielding me from the chill. It's thick, heavy, and completely drenched in his scent—that rich blend of expensive leather, cedar, and sharp cologne that makes my stomach do a strange, fluttery flip. "You're cold," Lucien states flatly from behind me, not giving me a chance to argue. His large hands linger on the lapels of the jacket right beside my neck for a second longer than necessary. His knuckles brush so close to my skin that I freeze, my breath hitching in my throat as he leans over my shoulder to guide me out of the elevator. Acr
