UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 105: The Ledger of Blood
(POV: Oma)"Tasha, tell me!" I screamed into the phone, the sound shattering the fragile quiet of the apartment.Maya’s response was instantaneous, a sharp, startled cry that echoed from the bedroom. Usually, that sound would have me sprinting to her side, but I couldn't move. My feet felt like they were sinking into the floorboards, pinned by the heavy, vibrating silence on the other end of the line."Oma... there’s a live feed," Tasha finally said, her voice hollow and stripped of its usual razor-edged confidence. "Check the local news. Now."With trembling fingers, I fumbled for the remote on the coffee table, knocking over a half-empty glass of water in the process. The screen flickered to life, the harsh, bright blue light of the news banner cutting through the darkness of my flat like a blade.BREAKING NEWS: TRAGEDY AT OAKHAVEN CROSSING.The footage was grainy, filmed from a distance by a news chopper battling the wind. A sleek, black car, Richard’s car, the one with the custom
UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 104: The Weighted Answer
(POV: Nora)The silence in Kingston Gardens was so absolute I could hear the wax dripping from the candle on our table. It was a rhythmic, sluggish thud-thud against the tablecloth, mimicking the heavy pulse in my ears.Richard remained on one knee, the diamond seemed like a mocking eye staring back at me. This was the moment I had scripted in my head a thousand times, back when we were younger and the world felt like it was made of glass and possibilities rather than concrete and consequences. Yet, the reality felt like a heavy coat that didn't quite fit, stiff at the shoulders, pulling at the seams of who I had become."Nora?" he prompted, his voice cracking just the slightest bit and bringing back to the present moment.I looked at him, the amber light of the restaurant caught the new silver at his temples and the sharp, jagged lines of exhaustion he tried to mask with his resolve. I saw the man who had just spent two hours over dinner admitting he was "fed up" and "weary." He wasn
UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 103: Broken
(POV: Oma)I didn't allow a day to pass and I was already on my way back to my own city.When I finally got home, the key had to be turned twice before it finally unlocked.As I opened the door, I went in, closed the door and stood still in the darkness, and did not move for the light switch.The apartment has not changed its scent.The first thing I noticed was that the same warm, inviting fragrance of the place I had culminated piece by piece for some times now, the candles I light in the evenings and Maya's belongings, also the faint aroma of the food I had made the day before the downfall was still at its place smelling more like my life.The life that at the moment lay scattered fragments on a street in a house in Oakhaven.I closed the door after me and put my bag down on the floor just at the entrance since I didn't have enough energy to carry it further. Maya was lying on my chest asleep, tired out from the journey and the breakdown of the schedule, having the particular baby
UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 102: Popping The Question
(POV: Nora)"Richard?""Nora, I'm serious this time." His tone was resolute, devoid of the teasing lilt or the non-committal softness that had defined so many of our interactions over the years. For one last long moment, I gazed deeply into his eyes, searching for the crack in the armor, the sign that he might pull back. But there was only a steady, burning clarity.After that, I gave a small nod, a silent permission for him to take up the space he was suddenly demanding in my life.The meal was over, and the talk had flowed more naturally than I had anticipated. We had navigated the minefield of our shared history with a newfound grace, skirting the old wounds and focusing on the hum of the present. He made me chuckle once, a real, gut-deep sound, and when I did, he grinned genuinely at me. For a fleeting moment, just a tinge of it, it felt like something I had cherished for a long time, a phantom limb of a life I hadn’t quite been allowed to live yet. I treasured that moment, tuckin
UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 101: Unexpected Request
(POV: Nora)Richard called at 7:15pm. I was surprised to see his call since I've sworn not to have anything to do with him.There I was, sitting at my dressing mirror with my stud earring in my hand, when my phone suddenly buzzed and his name popped up on the screen. For a full five minutes, I just stared at the screen. Richard doesn't normally call me at 7pm. In fact, Richard barely ever called me. So, I just sat there looking at his name and telling myself not to overthink it before I finally answered the phone."Hello, yes, how may I help you Richard," I said, rolling my eyes in disgust."Are you free tonight?" he inquired with his tone a bit off and I got the feel of it right away, like the voice of a man who had made up his mind long before he called me, even if he didn't feel like it."I might be able to, " I answered cautiously. "What's the matter?""I have booked a table for us at Kingston Gardens tonight, " he informed me. "Please can we make it a date by eight o'clock? I wan

(POV: Richard) She was already in her reading chair when I arrived. Her book was open and a tea beside her, with her eyes behind her glasses, just like every night. It was 9:30pm when I came in. Also, my mother doesn’t sleep before eleven o'clock, and that has been a part of her since I was a child. Her routine wasn't just habit for her but it was how she keeps her standards in check. When I finally halted the car, I stayed in the car a few seconds after Cole has already killed the engine. Cole watched me from the front seat but didn't speak. He'd said everything he needed to say tonight, and he knew better than to push further.I stepped out, and he opened the door before I even touched it. His eyes snapped wide for a split second, the instant recognition of who I was, and then he backed away silently, like a man used to doing his job without debate.She sat in the sitting room exactly as it always did, calm, still, untouched by outside noise like a quiet woman surrounded by soft

Richard met his mother again on a Tuesday.He didn't tell me until he was already on his way out."I called her this morning," he said. "We will be meeting at a coffee shop in Hillcrest."I was on the sofa with the baby against my chest and a highlighted evidence chapter open in my lap. I looked up

Miller looked around the shop. His eyes lingered on the discarded walking stick, then on a smear of red on the edge of a mahogany table. He walked over to it, touched it with a gloved finger, and looked back at Bonny. The silence stretched, thin and brittle."Seems like a lot of excitement for a Tu
