Saturday afternoons had quietly become something Aiden looked forward to.

No board meetings. No shareholders demanding updates. No endless stream of emails waiting for his attention. N9 assistant blowing up his phone with calls and messages.

Just a few precious hours he could spend with Evie.

The morning had passed quickly. After finishing a video conference earlier than expected, Aiden glanced at the reminder he had set on his phone weeks ago: Teach Evie how to drive.

A small smile crossed his

  • The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love    Chapter 56: The Quiet observer

    The following morning, Scott Mansion eagerly embraced its lively routine..Breakfast was over. Richard had already left for the office, and Aiden had followed shortly afterward, carrying the strain of another difficult day at Scott Corporation with him. Evie had gone to university, while Vivian remained occupied with preparations for the upcoming charity gala. Maria was standing near the servants' entrance, checking the household schedule, when Grace appeared at the end of the corridor.She was dressed to leave.Maria glanced at the clock.It was earlier than Grace usually went anywhere."Grace?"Grace stopped. "Yes, ma'am?""You're going out?"Grace adjusted the strap of her handbag. "I need to visit my mother."Maria's expression softened. "Is she alright?""Yes."The answer came quickly.Grace seemed to realize it herself and added, "She's fine. I just haven't visited her in a while."Maria nodded. "Of course. Go ahead.""Thank you."Grace turned toward the door.Maria watched her

    Grace had been carrying folded linens toward the servants' quarters when she saw them.She stopped.Aiden whispered something that made Evie laugh.They walked together for several moments before eventually going their separate ways.There was nothing openly suspicious about what Grace had seen..No obvious confession.No secret kiss.Nothing Isabella could use as undeniable proof.But Grace had watched them for weeks.She knew there was something different about the way Aiden looked at Evie.Something protective. Something familiar.Something that went far beyond what Isabella had asked her to observe.Grace tightened her grip around the basket.For the first time, she thought about the envelopes.The money. The messages. The questions Isabella kept asking.What exactly am I helping her uncover?Grace had always told herself she was only observing. Only reporting. She wasn't hurting anyone. At least, that was what she had believed.But suddenly, the excuse felt weak.She looked toward

    Aiden was halfway toward the stairs when Lucas caught up with him. "You're avoiding me."Aiden glanced over his shoulder. "I'm tired.""That's not an answer."Aiden sighed. "Lucas…I'm serious."Lucas followed him into the study and closed the door behind them.Aiden turned. "What?"Lucas leaned against the desk, studying him for a moment. "I've been meaning to ask you something.""That usually means trouble.""It might."Aiden folded his arms.Lucas smiled. "You know Isabella isn't the woman you're always texting during meetings, right?"Aiden's expression changed. "What are you talking about?"Lucas laughed. "Please. I've sat beside you in enough meetings to know when you're pretending to listen."Aiden frowned. "I'm always listening.""Really?"Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Then explain why you once spent an entire presentation staring at your phone under the table.""I had something important to handle.""Of course." Lucas grinned. "And somehow, that 'important matter' always seems to

  • The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love    Chapter 53: Gentle lies

    By early evening, after everyone had returned from their various pursuits, Scott Mansion buzzed with a warm, inviting energy. The tantalising scent of rosemary, roasted vegetables, baked bread, and fragrant herbs wafted invitingly from the busy kitchen through the hallways. Maria and the other housemaids had spent most of the afternoon meticulously preparing a sumptuous, elaborate dinner at Richard's eager request, turning the evening into a celebration of home and hospitality.Richard had insisted that everyone eat together."No phones. No work discussions. Just dinner," he had declared earlier.Lucas had laughed when he'd heard the rule.“Then what exactly am I supposed to talk about?"Richard had looked at him over his shoulder."You've known this family long enough to know how to entertain us without discussing work."Lucas grinned. "I'll do my best."It was a familiar dynamic.Lucas decided to stay at the Scott mansion today, because he had an early engagement in the morning. Luc

  • The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love    Chapter 52: Borrowed time

    The morning at Scott Corporation passed with unusual efficiency. By noon, Aiden had concluded two board meetings, approved several pending contracts, and delegated the remaining tasks to his senior executives. For once, his schedule was lighter than usual.His assistant looked up in surprise when she saw him slip his laptop into its case and reach for his suit jacket."Sir... are you leaving?""For the afternoon."She blinked. "The afternoon?""Yes."There was genuine disbelief on her face. "You've never cancelled an afternoon schedule before."Aiden buttoned his jacket and offered a faint smile."There's a first time for everything."Without another explanation, he left the office.Less than thirty minutes later, his black Porsche rolled through the gates of Scott Mansion.Outside, the afternoon sun bathed the gardens in warm golden light. Beneath the gazebo, Evie sat surrounded by open textbooks and neatly arranged notebooks. A pen rested between her fingers as she frowned thoughtf

  • The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love    Chapter 51: Learning the road

    Another day arrived beneath clear blue skies and a gentle breeze, making it the perfect afternoon for another driving lesson.Unlike the previous week, Evie walked toward the SUV with confidence instead of uncertainty. She slid into the driver's seat, adjusted the mirrors without being reminded, fastened her seatbelt, checked the gear, and rested both hands on the steering wheel before looking proudly at Aiden."I remembered everything."Settling into the passenger seat, Aiden smiled approvingly. "I noticed. Looks like someone has been studying."Evie tried to hide her grin. "I may have watched a few driving videos.""A few?""...More than a few."Aiden chuckled, shaking his head. "I should've guessed."Evie started the engine, and the SUV rolled forward with surprising ease. There was no nervous stalling, no sudden jerks, and no panicked expression on her face. The difference from her first lesson was impossible to miss.She guided the vehicle steadily along the quiet practice road,
