Leigh’s POV

I sat down, trying to steady my breath, but then I saw him. Mikel. He was standing by the coffee machine, acting casual, as if the last few days hadn’t happened, as if the tension in the office wasn’t because of him. The same smug look I had come to know so well was still plastered on his face, and his eyes flicked to me, almost daring me to make a move.

I wasn’t going to let him win. Not today.

The buzz of the office seemed to drown out everything around me, the whispers becoming more audible. It felt like the whole room was waiting for something to happen, and I wasn’t about to give them the satisfaction of seeing me crumble.

I stood up abruptly, not giving myself time to second-guess. I walked toward him, my steps firm, my mind set. My heart was pounding in my chest as I approached, but I pushed everything down. There was no time for fear. No time for weakness.

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 111

    ForeverLeigh’s POVI had imagined giving birth in more ways than I can count—maybe a thousand times over.But not once did those daydreams come close to what really happened.It wasn’t the pain that caught me off guard.It wasn’t how time seemed to fold in on itself, rewriting the seconds into something eternal.It wasn’t even Logan holding me like his life depended on it, kissing my knuckles between contractions, and whispering in that husky, trembling voice I’ll never recover from, “You’re everything, my miracle.”And then… I heard it.A cry.Tiny, sharp, wild—yet absolutely perfect.A sound that shattered and healed me in the same moment.She was here.Our baby girl.She didn’t just arrive into the world—she owned it, like she was born to rearrange the stars and change the rules.And though I’d never

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 110

    Hunt and MaverickLogan’s POVIt’s a strange thing — to be the center of attention in a room once designed to devour you, and suddenly, everything begins to bend just to please you.No more indifferent board.No more secret plots or hidden, destructive strings behind my back.I made sure to bury every implicating clause, revoke every seat designed to ruin my years of hard work, and completely rewrite the very bones of Hunt Enterprises.And right now?Everything is mine.All of it, just as I planned.And the most beautiful part of this new dawn?I’m no longer alone.Leigh stood at the top of the staircase, beautiful as always. She commanded respect in the gold satin gown she wore. That’s what true power is. She wasn’t just glowing — she was untouchable.My name may be the talk of the town, plastered all over this gala, but the truth remains: Releigh is the reason anyone is paying attention to anything we’re doing.No room for gossip.No scandal waiting to be stirred.I took a calm sip

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 109

    Leigh’s POVThey always said giving birth is loud.And often, it’s messy, chaotic—A calculated storm of pain before the calm sets in.But for Kira?She delivered like a queen making her grand entrance.No drama. No panic. No emergency breakdown.Even before we arrived at the hospital, Julius was already there—whispering affirmations into her ears, anchoring her in peace, assuring her she’d never feel alone again.We showed up for her.Not exactly in the delivery room, of course—but we were ushered into the hospital lounge.Mason and Logan paced back and forth like they were the ones pushing.Mason kept checking his wristwatch every five seconds, like he had a meeting he couldn’t afford to miss. I couldn’t help but chuckle watching him.As for me? I just sat still, hands on my belly, silently praying. I wasn’t about to stress my baby—forced labor wasn’t something I was signing up for.And if anyone cared to ask, I already had a name in mind for the baby—even before she was born. A nam

    Building Her Own EmpireLeigh’s POVThe thing about starting from scratch to build something tangible—especially when you once lived in denial that the thing you loved most wasn't there for you anymore, at least not the way it used to be—is that it feels like entering a new ball game entirely. Different rules. Different energy.Everything had to be perfect.The mics were wired.The lights were warm and glowing.The air? Thick—not with heat, but with expectation.RealInk had evolved. It was no longer just a dream—it had become a heartbeat. A pulse. A living, breathing vision.And Kira… oh Kira. Even though she was heavier than I was—carrying more weight, literally and figuratively—she was like the wind, swift and everywhere, making sure the launch unfolded exactly as planned.She wasn’t just ensuring things ran smoothly. Kira was the smooth. She was in every corner, handling everything, showing up more powerfully than I’d ever seen her.Pregnancy had done little to slow her down. Even

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 107

    Mo’s POVThree months later....I didn’t plan to leave , especially not now. Not because I didn’t desire to behold the beauty of Eiffel Tower or devote myself to eating croissants, the so not buttery type, till the point it would feel illegal.But because, from my view leaving behind everything would mean I had moved on, that I had discarded the beautiful memories we created together. The friendship that I built with Kira and Leigh ever since we met each other. It would mean that I want to sweep everything under the carpet, to never keep a memory of us together. The betrayal was real, too real that I never knew I could still breathe. The ache that came with it. The loud way I never allowed myself to be pitied, instead, I covered up so well with silence, that everyone around me thought I wasn't hurting, that I was strong, whereas, I was dieing slowly inside.Choosing Paris would mean choosing a clean slate. And clean slates with clean start somehow scared the living hell out of me.

  • The billionaire who stole my heart    Chapter 106

    Logan’s POVI didn't check to know what time it was when duty called. All I knew was that it was dark, and I was still trying to catch some sleep before it would be morning, and the struggle of running the company continues.Then I heard someone whisper close to my ears. I thought I was hallucinating because the Leigh I went to bed with was still sleeping peacefully, but no, that wasn't the case, she was awake, wide eyes.“I want baked apples.”I rolled over to face her. “Huh, what?”She was truly awake. And what scared me the most was the fact that she was staring at the ceiling like she could get her answers from there.“I want baked apples,” she repeated. “And make sure to add cinnamon crumble to it, I would love that garnishing alot. But most importantly, ensure it is soft, nothing related to crunchy. It should be shiny, but not too bright. Just the exact one your mom love makin
