The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 65: Grace's Guilt
Grace sat alone in the servants' quarters, staring at her phone. Her hands were shaking.She had heard enough. The plan had worked.Isabella had sent the photographs to Aiden.And now Evie was paying for something she hadn't even done.Grace's stomach twisted.She had known Isabella wanted to create doubt.But seeing the consequences was different.She remembered Evie's kindness. The way she had spoken to her when she first came to work as a maid, she was polite and jovial.The way she had once told Grace to take care of herself when she looked exhausted.Grace covered her face with both hands. “What have I done?”Her phone vibrated. She flinched.Isabella.A message appeared. Isabella: Don't get emotional now. You knew exactly what you agreed to.Grace stared at the screen.Another message arrived.Isabella: Stay quiet.Grace's eyes filled with tears.She typed: I didn't know you'd actually do this.She stared at the words. Then deleted them.A second message appeared.Isabella: Reme
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 64: Still not over it
Aiden remained standing beside his desk long after Evie had left his room with tears, she was still not over how Aiden didn't trust her.The photographs were still open on his phone.He looked at them again.Every time, the same image stared back at him.Evie lying beside another man, naķed, the man kissing her cheeks.The picture should have been enough. It should have settled everything. But somehow, it didn't.Aiden zoomed in on the first photograph.Then the second. Something about the room bothered him. He couldn't explain it. The furniture seemed unfamiliar.Even the curtains didn't look like the ones in Evie's bedroom.Isabella had actually changed rooms and put Evie in another room but made it look like it was Evie's room.He frowned. Why had he noticed none of that before?Because he had been angry. Because he had been hurt. Because the moment he saw Evie's face beside another man, everything else had stopped mattering.He locked his phone. Then unlocked it again.The image
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 63: The picture that lied
“No, ma. I can't do it. Do you know how much this family has helped me? And yet you want me to carry out your evil plan?” Grace's voice trembled as she stood before Isabella.Isabella remained seated, one leg crossed over the other. She didn't look angry. That was what frightened Grace most. She looked calm.Almost bored. “Oh, so you know what they have done for you, but all this while you have been collecting my money.”Grace lowered her eyes. “I didn't know it would become this.”“You knew enough.”“I didn't know you wanted to hurt Evie.”Isabella's expression hardened. “You will do it unless you want your mother gone.”Grace's head snapped up. “Don't bring my mother into this.”“I can bring whoever I want into it.”Isabella leaned forward. “You've been accepting my money for weeks. You have been giving me information about this family. Do you really think you can suddenly grow a conscience and walk away?”Grace's eyes filled with tears. “I'll give the money back.”Isabella laughed
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 62: A burden she couldn't put down
Sunlight poured through the tall, narrow windows of the servants' corridor, casting a warm glow that highlighted the intricate patterns on the polished wooden floors as the household gradually settled into its daily routine. Below, the faint clatter of dishes echoed from the bustling kitchen, where pots simmered and utensils clinked. Maria's clear voice occasionally drifted through the hallway, issuing instructions to the younger maids as they moved efficiently about their tasks..Everything looked normal. But Grace had barely slept. She moved through her chores mechanically, her thoughts somewhere far beyond the mansion.The previous evening kept replaying in her mind.The messages. The envelopes.And, most of all, the faces of the people she had been watching. Aiden and Evie.They had never treated her badly. Evie had thanked her countless times for small things. Aiden rarely spoke to the household staff, but whenever he did, he was respectful.Yet Grace had been feeding Isabella pi
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 61: When friendship changes
The house was already awake by the time Evie stepped into the breakfast room, a folder tucked beneath her arm and her phone in her hand.She looked unusually distracted. Not troubled.Just a lot on her mind.Maria noticed it. "You look like someone who's already planning the rest of her day."Evie smiled. "I might be."Aiden, who had just taken his seat, looked up from his coffee. "What's going on?"Evie glanced at him. "I've joined another university charity project."His expression softened. "Really?"She nodded enthusiastically."It's a community outreach program. We're working with a local learning centre that provides tutoring, books, and basic supplies for children from low-income families."Aiden smiled. "That sounds like something you'd enjoy.""I do."She placed the folder on the table."We're going there twice a week, and we're also organising a small book and school-supplies drive.""You're going to be tutoring?""Among other things."Aiden watched the excitement in her eye
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 60: The hours between us
The clock on Aiden's desk had long surpassed the hour he typically leaves work. Usually, he would already be home. Even on challenging days, he seldom let work keep him at Scott Corporation late into the night. Recently, however, everything has been going wrong, and the difficulties have left him frustrated enough to lash out at his employees. One problem had barely been settled before another appeared. A delayed contract. An angry client.A board member demanding explanations.A shipment that had gone missing.A department head who needed his approval for a decision that couldn't wait until morning. The company was under pressure. Adrian Blackwood was quietly gaining ground.Everywhere Aiden turned, something needed fixing. And tonight was no different.He leaned back in his chair and rubbed a hand over his tired face.The office around him had emptied hours ago. The once-busy corridors were silent, the lights outside his glass office dimmed to their nighttime setting.Only the fai
