Chapter 52: The Worst Nightmare I had

last update Veröffentlichungsdatum: 08.04.2026 17:43:00

Richard’s POV

I didn't plan to run into Nora.

I came back to the family house the next morning for one reason only, to collect the signed contract copies my mother's attorney had left at the front desk five minutes ago. That was the plan.

I walked down the east corridor toward the study when I heard heels on the marble.

Then I looked up…. It was Nora.

She was coming from the direction of the guest suite, dressed in silk blouse, tailored trousers, her hair falling perfectly around her shoulders

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 57: The Devil's Bargain

    (POV: Richard)Ned sent me one of the doctors number at midnight that has access to Oma. There was no name attached, just the eleven digits and a text from him.He’ll meet you at Parking level B2 in one hour time.I didn't ask how Ned found his contact. He had a way of locating people who wanted to stay hidden, and I had stopped questioning his methods long ago. I changed out of my damp clothes, grabbed my keys, and drove out. The parking garage beneath the Meridian Tower was almost freezing. I walked against the concrete toward the far end of level B2. A single dark sedan sat near the back wall with its engine off and headlights dark.A man leaned against the driver’s side door. He had his arms crossed, looking like someone who had spent the last hour trying to talk himself out of this meeting.Dr. Damien.Dr. Damien was younger than I expected early forties, with a slight build. He straightened up when he saw me. "Richard?” He said, stretching his hand for an embrace.We stood ther

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 56: The Return 

    ( Richard’s POV)I drove immediately to St. Caius Private Hospital.At first when I arrived, it didn't look like a hospital. There were pale stone walls, copper lanterns along the driveway. There was a concierge instead of a receptionist, and they called their patients ‘guests’. I had driven past this place a hundred times, never thinking I’d have a reason to step inside. But now, I have.The rain hasn't stopped. It followed me from my mother’s house, to the detention center and now here, to this hospital. I stared at the building through the blurred windshield for ten seconds before stepping out into the storm. Recently I've decided to discard my convoys. I don't need any of them at this critical time.I went inside the building.The woman at the front desk sat up straight the moment she saw me. I was soaked, my jacket heavy with water, looking so serious and terrifying, a look which can make people nervous."Good evening, sir.""I'm looking for Oma Johnson," I interrupted. "She was

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 55: The Midnight Run

    Richard's POVThe rain came out of nowhere.One minute the road was bone-dry, and the next, the sky just opened up. My windshield wipers swung back and forth in a frantic rhythm that matched the panic in my chest. I leaned over the wheel and kept driving; my eyes glued to the blurry road.I could feel the signed papers in my jacket pocket. Every time I breathed; the edge of the envelope pressed against my ribs. I had checked for them three times since leaving my mother’s house. I kept touching my chest just to make sure they were still intact. But I couldn't stop thinking about how easily my mother had handed them over to me.My mother’s face wouldn't leave my mind. I’d seen her in every mood, proud, angry and cold. But tonight, it was different. She looked like a person who had already finished a math problem before I even walked into the room. She didn't sign those papers because my words moved her. She signed them because it fit a plan she was already working on.My mother didn'

    (Richard’s Pov )I told myself I was ready.The whole drive over to my mother's house was overwhelming. I rehearsed my speech, going through every argument and angle, picking out careful sentences meant to get what I needed without having to beg. By the time I turned into our estate street, I’d run through the words so many times to an extent they had started to lose their meaning.Then I parked the car and just sat there, letting the truth catch up with me.I wasn’t ready, composed or was the son she had built from the ground up, or the one who could walk into any room and own it. I was completely different.I was just a devastated man who had left a woman burning with fever on a thin detention cot. I was sitting outside my mother’s house in mismatched shoes, praying she wouldn’t make this difficult.I got out of the car, and moved towards the main building.The housekeeper saw me at the gate and opened it without a word.The look on her face told me everything. I needed to know abou

  • UNDESERVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE   Chapter 53: The Price of a Life.

    POV: RichardImmediately I came back into the house, on reaching my bedroom. The phone rang, I checked it was 3:14pm. I pulled my hands into the pocket, still in my dress shirt from the day, my mind blurring on the loop of legal statutes and Nora’s haunting perfume. I didn't want to pick the call due to tiredness but I had to.I fumbled for the device on the nightstand, my heart already not settled… then I saw the caller ID."Sergeant?" I rasped, with my voice curled in surprise. I picked up the phone."Mr. Jones, this is Sergeant Xavier at the detention center."I sat bolt upright as the situation suddenly felt like something was up already."Yes, this is Richard Jones, what happened please? Any news?"“Your victim with us here is very down right now.”“Who?”“Oma?” I asked with my eyes wide open."Yes, it’s not a physical altercation, sir. It’s an outbreak. We’ve had a viral meningitis strain hitting some of our culprits here and one of the inmates here related to you, is not resp

It was Nora.She was coming from the direction of the guest suite, dressed in silk blouse, tailored trousers, her hair falling perfectly around her shoulders like she owned the place. She was holding a coffee cup in one hand and her phone in the other, and she looked so completely at home in this house, and that snapped something inside me. “How dare she claim my loyalty, when I have not given it to her? What is she still doing here?”Before she even opened her mouth, she saw me coming towards the same direction and then, she slowed down.“Oh, look who we have here!” She said with that small smile at the corner of her lips."Richy, Good morn….""I do
