The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 87: His parent's betrayal
Aiden's gaze shifted toward him.The question sounded casual.Too casual? Aiden couldn't tell anymore.“Some things,” he answered.Richard nodded. “Good.”Vivian looked up. “What exactly are you investigating?”Aiden met her eyes.For the briefest moment, something passed through her expression.It was gone so quickly he couldn't identify it.Fear? Recognition? Or simply curiosity?He couldn't know. And that uncertainty made him more suspicious. “Some property records,” Aiden replied.Vivian's fingers paused around her glass.Only for a second. Then she continued as though nothing had happened.Aiden noticed. He noticed everything now.Richard's attention moved between them.“You've always been too suspicious,” Richard said lightly. “Sometimes a property record is just a property record.”Aiden smiled faintly. “Yeah, sometimes.”His father chuckled. But Aiden didn't.Because he knew there was something buried beneath those records.And he was beginning to suspect his parents knew more
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 86: Dinner Without Answers
By the time dinner was served, Aiden had already spent several hours trying to convince himself that suspicion was not the same thing as truth.It wasn't working.The dining room was warm and beautifully lit, the long table dressed in white linen and polished silver. Everything about the evening looked ordinary. Too ordinary.Vivian sat at the far end of the polished wooden dining table, speaking casually about the upcoming neighbourhood social event. Richard listened attentively, occasionally adding a comment or asking a question to clarify. Maria moved quietly between the dining room and kitchen, checking that every dish was properly arranged and that the settings were in place, ensuring everything was ready for the dinner.Evie sat quietly beside Aiden, blending seamlessly into the guise of another family dinner. But Aiden’s eyes weren’t fooled. His gaze flickered toward his parents—though subtly, never long enough for them to catch him. He observed every little detail: the way Ric
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 85: The call that changed everything
The house had gone quiet, but Aiden had stopped noticing the silence.He sat alone in his study, surrounded by documents that seemed to multiply every time he turned a page.Property records.Old access logs.Company registrations.Marcus Hale's information.Blackwood connections.And the authorization records he'd already studied more times than he cared to admit.His mother's name was there.His father's name was there.He already knew that.That wasn't what bothered him anymore.What bothered him was why they had been given access in the first place.Aiden leaned back and rubbed his tired eyes.His mind kept returning to the same question.Why had Daniel Scott needed a property like that?And why had someone gone to such lengths to use it years later?His phone rang.Aiden looked at the screen. Lucas.He answered immediately. “It better be something good.”“I found something.”Aiden straightened. “About the authorization?”“Yes.” Lucas's voice carried a seriousness that immediately
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 84: Something doesn't add up
Damien remained standing long after Aiden's car disappeared from view.The engine's fading sound seemed to linger in the evening air, even after the road had gone quiet again.He should have gone back inside.The children were still waiting for the last few boxes of supplies to be packed. The other volunteers were already cleaning up the learning centre. But Damien couldn't move.His eyes remained fixed on the empty road.Something about what he'd just witnessed bothered him. He couldn't explain what it was.Aiden had come to pick Evie up. That wasn't strange. Aiden had always been protective of her. Everyone knew that.But the way he'd looked at her...Damien frowned.It hadn't looked like an ordinary brotherly concern.He remembered Aiden's expression when he approached them. The tension in his jaw. The way his eyes had moved between Damien and Evie.Jealousy.The word entered Damien's mind before he could stop it.He immediately rejected it.That's ridiculous. Aiden was Evie's broth
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 83: Possessive boyfriend (intimacy)
“Are you jealous?”He didn't answer.Her mouth slowly curved.“You are.”“I don't like the way he looks at you.”“He was helping me.”“He was flirting with you.”“He was being friendly.”“He wasn't.”Evie shook her head. “You're impossible.”“And you're not getting back out of this car until I calm down.”She stared at him. “That's not how this works.”Aiden's expression softened slightly. “You don't get to say anything right now.”Then, instead of arguing, he moved into the passenger seat at the back of the car and pulled her gently toward him.Evie landed across his lap, making her straddle his waist, startled. “Aiden!”He wrapped an arm securely around her waist.“What are you doing? And why are we in the back seat? Are we not going home?” “Slow down, angel. One question at a time.”“Well, what are you doing?”“Reminding myself that you're here.”She stared at him. “You could have just asked me to sit beside you.”“I could have.”“Then why didn't you?”“Because I'm jealous.”The h
The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love Chapter 82: Are you jealous?
Morning arrived at the Scott mansion in a rare moment of tranquillity. Illuminated through the expansive, ornate windows of the breakfast room, cast a warm glow on the polished mahogany table and illuminating the swirling steam rising from Evie's steaming mug of coffee, which shimmered with a near-golden hue. Evie sat comfortably with her sleek laptop open beside her chipped ceramic plate, her fingers deftly scrolling through a lengthy list of names on the illuminated screen. Aiden caught sight of her routine activity. "You're already working?" he inquired softly, raising an eyebrow.She looked up. “I'm not working.”“You've been staring at that laptop for ten minutes.”“Because I'm preparing for the outreach program.”Aiden poured himself coffee. “The one at the learning centre?”She nodded enthusiastically. “Yes. We're helping the children with tutoring today, and we're also taking books and basic school supplies.”Aiden watched the excitement brighten her face.“You're looking forw
