Elise

My breath caught in my throat as Julian stepped into the room, his eyes locked on Lexi—the real Lexi. For a moment, everything froze. Alexa’s eyes flickered with panic, but Lexi was calm, steady, unshaken.

Then Julian’s gaze snapped between the two of them, his confusion evident in the way his brow furrowed, and his mouth parted as if he couldn’t process what was happening.

“What’s going on here?” Julian’s voice trembled slightly, filled with disbelief. He glanced from Lexi to Alexa,

  • The Billionaires Pawn    Chapter one hundred and thirty-eight: Far from over

    Elixir’s POV The night stretched endlessly before me, dark and intoxicating. A storm lingered in the air, the scent of rain mixing with the ocean breeze that drifted through the open balcony doors. The world outside my estate was quiet, too quiet, but that only made the pulse of my own thoughts louder, clearer. I had always preferred the night. It was in the darkness that true power thrived, where people’s worst fears came to life, where shadows whispered secrets that daylight tried to bury. The night had always belonged to me, just as much as it had once belonged to Alexa my sister. But Alexa had been weak. Impetuous. Too desperate for vengeance, too obsessed with proving herself. And that desperation had been her downfall. A smirk curled my lips as I shifted the weight in my arms, glancing down at the tiny figure wrapped in a soft white blanket. My daughter stirred, a soft whimper escaping her lips as her small hands reached for something unseen. I watched her, my heart tigh

  • The Billionaires Pawn    Chapter One hundred and thirty seven : what could have been

    Lexi’s POVI wasn’t sure why I kept coming back.Maybe it was guilt. Maybe it was curiosity. Or maybe it was because a part of me, despite everything, still wanted to believe Kayla could be saved.But with each visit, that hope faded a little more.The clinic was quiet, the kind of quiet that felt heavy rather than peaceful. It had the sterile scent of disinfectant mixed with something unplaceable—something that made my stomach turn every time I walked through the doors.Kayla’s room was at the end of the hall, tucked away from the others. A nurse nodded at me as I approached, her expression unreadable. I wasn’t family. I wasn’t even a friend. But no one ever questioned why I was here.Maybe they saw the hesitation in my steps, the wariness in my eyes. Maybe they knew that whatever had brought me to Kayla wasn’t simple.I stepped inside, my breath catching in my throat.She was by the window again.She always was.Her hair, once meticulously styled, was now unkempt, strands falling in

  • The Billionaires Pawn    One hundred and thirty six: Lexi BLACKWOOD

    Lexi’s pov The night was a blur of toasts, laughter, and stolen glances between Julian and me. Friends and family gathered, congratulating us, offering their blessings. Even Alexander, dressed in the tiniest little tuxedo, was passed around like royalty.And through it all, Julian never left my side.When the night was winding down, and it was just the two of us again, he pulled me into his arms, resting his forehead against mine.“Ready to be my wife?” he asked, his voice low.I smiled, my fingers threading through his hair. “I was ready the moment I fell in love with you.”His kiss was slow, deliberate. Full of promises.Promises I knew he’d keep.The WeddingJulian didn’t just plan a wedding. He orchestrated an event.It was extravagant, breathtaking, and absolutely perfect. Every single detail was meticulously arranged, from the grand venue to the candlelit pathways that led to our vows.The ceremony took place in a private estate overlooking the ocean. White roses lined the aisl

  • The Billionaires Pawn    Chapter One hundred and thirty five : Soft petals

    Lexi’s POV The night Julian proposed, I barely slept. Not because I was restless or uncertain, but because every time I closed my eyes, I replayed the moment over and over again. The way he looked at me. The certainty in his voice. The way his hands trembled just slightly when he slipped the ring onto my finger, as if this was the one thing in his life that truly mattered. I spent the rest of the night lying in his arms, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing, feeling the warmth of his body against mine. It felt like a dream—one of those rare, beautiful ones that you never want to wake up from. But it was real. I was engaged to Julian Blackwood. When morning came, the first thing I saw was the ring. The delicate diamond glinted in the soft sunlight, a quiet reminder of everything that had changed. My heart clenched with something fierce and overwhelming. I turned my head, finding Julian already awake, watching me. “Morning, fiancé,” he murmured, his voice still l

  • The Billionaires Pawn    Chapter one hundred and thirty four: The proposal

    Julian’s POVI had never been a man of grand gestures. My world had always been one of precision, control, and ruthless efficiency. Sentiment had no place in my life—until Lexi.She changed everything.She softened the edges of a man who had never known tenderness. She made me want things I never thought I could have. A family. A home. A future.And now, I was going to make sure she was mine forever.I had planned every detail of this night with the same meticulous care I applied to everything in my life. Nothing was left to chance. Lexi deserved the perfect moment, and I would give it to her.When the evening arrived, I found her in the bedroom, getting ready. She stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her earrings, completely unaware of what was coming.“You look breathtaking,” I murmured, stepping behind her.She smiled at me through the mirror. “You’re being suspiciously charming tonight.”I smirked, running my hands down her arms before pressing a kiss to her bare shoulder. “May

  • The Billionaires Pawn    One hundred and thirty three: Farewell to the past

    Julian’s POVThe moment I stepped into our penthouse, I knew Lexi was waiting. The tension in my shoulders eased just slightly at the sight of her sitting on the couch, Alexander cradled in her arms. She looked up as soon as I entered, her gaze scanning my face for answers.She knew.“Julian,” she murmured, her voice softer than I expected. “You’re back.”I walked over, leaning down to press a kiss to her forehead before glancing at my son. He was asleep, his tiny chest rising and falling peacefully.“It’s done,” I said simply.Lexi’s expression faltered. “Victor?”I met her eyes. She already knew the answer, but she still wanted to hear it.“He didn’t make it.”She swallowed, nodding slowly. “I figured.” There was no sorrow, not really. Just an understanding. A quiet acceptance. “I guess he was too far gone, huh?”“He made his choice.” My voice was calm, absolute. “And he paid for it.”Lexi sighed, adjusting Alexander in her arms. “It’s just… a shame, that’s all.”“He would’ve never

  • The Billionaires Pawn    Chapter sixty-nine : The silent puppeteer

    Julian I stood by the window in my office, staring out into the sprawling city below. My reflection glared back at me from the glass—stern, cold, and unyielding. Catherine’s arrest had lifted a weight, but it wasn’t over. Not by a long shot. “Victor Hale is still a loose end,” I muttered, gripp

I stood with the DPO and his men outside the decrepit cabin, my fists clenched. “This ends today,” I mut

  • The Billionaires Pawn    Chapter sixty-seven: Unexpected News

    Lexi’s POV The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the sterile scent of the hospital room. A low hum of machines filled the air. My head throbbed, my vision blurry, and I felt disoriented as I tried to sit up. My body felt heavy, weak, and unfamiliar. “Lexi?” Elise’s voice cut through

  • The Billionaires Pawn    Sixty-six : A deal with Daniel

    The restaurant had an air of quiet elegance settling over the room. The hum of conversation around us felt distant, like I was in a bubble. Elise and I sat across from Daniel, the private investigator I’d hired. He had sharp eyes, calculating and cautious, like a predator sizing up its prey. “So,”
