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 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
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 59: Adrian
Far from the Scott's familiar gardens, polished hallways, and quiet family dinners, another world existed—a world built on calculated decisions, private deals, and secrets that rarely found their way into the headlines.At the center of it stood a man who had learned long ago that the most dangerous people were rarely the loudest.Adrian Blackwood preferred silence.It gave people room to underestimate him.Blackwood Industries occupied the upper floors of a sleek tower overlooking the financial district. Unlike Scott Corporation, where activity could be felt the moment someone stepped through the doors, Blackwood's headquarters was strangely quiet.There were no hurried footsteps. No raised voices. No employees rushing between offices with panicked expressions. Everything was deliberate. Controlled. Even the silence seemed to have a purpose.Adrian Blackwood stood before the enormous windows of his private office, one hand resting casually inside his trouser pocket.His suit was imma

Grace had been avoiding Isabella all morning.She kept herself busy with small tasks whenever Isabella appeared in a room, finding reasons to remain downstairs or helping Maria in the kitchen.But she knew she couldn't avoid her forever."Grace."The voice came from behind her.Grace stopped what she was doing.She turned slowly.Isabella stood at the end of the corridor, dressed in a white floral gown that made her look like a beautiful artwork being displayed, her expression pleasant enough to fool anyone who wasn't looking closely."Yes, Miss Isabella?""Come upstairs with me."Grace swallowed. "Is there something you need?""I said come with me."There was nothing harsh in Isabella's voice.That somehow made it worse. Grace followed her upstairs.The moment Isabella closed her bedroom door, the pleasant expression disappeared.Grace remained near the door, hands clasped nervously in front of her.Isabella walked toward her dressing table. "You've been unusually quiet."Grace lower
