RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE Curtains 16
AUTHORS POVDean was in the sitting room when the bell rang.It had only been a few days ago when Tessa visited.He leapt from the floor where he’d been coloring. “It’s her!” he shouted, abandoning his crayons and flying down the hallway, socks sliding on the marble tiles.Pedro, in his study, looked up from his laptop and checked the time. He hadn’t expected her until later.When he opened the front door, Dean was already latched to Tessa’s legs like a koala.“Hi, sweetheart,” Tessa cooed, bending to hug her son properly, burying her nose into his soft hair. She looked up at Pedro with guarded eyes. “You said five. It’s only four.”Pedro shrugged faintly, stepping aside. “I didn’t want to waste an hour that could be yours.”Dean dragged her toward the sitting room. “Mummy, come see what I made!”She followed, and Pedro trailed behind quietly, watching her take in the living room. There were framed photos of Dean everywhere now — his first lost tooth, a birthday picture, a crayon scri
RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE A Night In The same House
AUTHORS POVTessa hadn’t planned to stay.But after Dean clung to her hand, whispering “Please don’t go, Mummy,” and Pedro stood quietly behind him, saying nothing—just watching her with weary, guilt-ridden eyes—she found herself saying: “I’ll stay. Just for tonight.”Pedro didn’t smile. He only nodded once, as if afraid anything more would shatter the fragile truce.Upstairs, she helped Dean change into his pyjamas, the small Spiderman set she’d packed for him tucked into the overnight bag Clarissa had delivered earlier.“Mummy, are you really staying?” he asked as she brushed his hair back.“Yes,” she said softly. “I’ll sleep right next to you.”He grinned, gap-toothed and tired, and leaned into her touch. “Good. Daddy tried to make dinner. It tasted weird.”Tessa chuckled lightly. “Oh really.”“I would have him make something better next time” Tessa said.***The kitchen looked like a war zone.There was a blackened pot on the stove, the smell of burnt rice hanging in the air like
RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE Dean Runs Away 11
AUTHORS POVThe Lorenzo mansion had grown quieter over the past few weeks—quieter, but not calmer. The atmosphere inside was like walking through thick fog—stifling, uncertain. Pedro sat in his study, fingers curled tightly around his glass of scotch, watching the ice melt slowly.He hadn’t heard Dean’s footsteps in over an hour. Normally, the boy would be bouncing down the hall, dragging some toy or book behind him, or calling out for “cartoons” or “snacks.” But tonight, the silence was ominous.Then came the crash.Pedro jumped to his feet and stormed out. He found Dean in the hallway, clutching a broken action figure. His face was flushed, and his tiny hands were trembling with frustration.“I told you not to touch my toys!” Dean shouted.Pedro, already on edge, snapped.“And I told you to stop screaming in this house! Enough, Dean!”The words shot out like daggers, louder than he’d ever spoken to the child. Dean froze. He did not know when he yelled. His eyes widened. The pain in
RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE Let it be Real, Lord
AUTHORS POVThe office was unusually quiet that morning.Tessa sat at her desk with her elbows propped on the smooth glass surface, fingers laced beneath her chin, eyes fixed on the empty coffee mug in front of her. Files sat untouched. Her laptop screen was still on the login page. She hadn’t been able to focus since she walked in.Her mind wasn’t here.It was back at the Lorenzo mansion.Back in Dean’s smile as he blew out birthday candles.Back in Pedro’s voice when he’d said, “Tell me what to do.”He’s changing, she thought. Or he’s pretending better than before. But which is it?The knock on the door snapped her back.Clarissa peeked in. “You’re not in a meeting, right?”“No. Come in,” Tessa said softly, straightening.Clarissa entered with a cup of hot tea in one hand and a little wrapped pastry in the other. She placed both on the desk.“You skipped breakfast,” she said knowingly.Tessa smiled faintly. “Thanks.”Clarissa sat in the chair across from her and studied her friend c

AUTHORS POVDean pulled back and looked her over. “You came! You really came! I told Daddy you would.”She smiled and hugged him tighter. “Of course I did. I wouldn’t miss your special day my sweet heart. I love love love you so much.”Pedro watched them quietly. For a brief moment, everything else faded—the guests, the decorations, the music. All he saw was the woman he had wronged, holding the child they had made, loving him with a fierceness Pedro could never quite replicate.And Dean, who hadn’t smiled all day, was now glowing.It was as though with Tessa’s timely presence, the party came alive.Tessa held Dean’s hand as he showed her the bouncy castle and the giant cake. The magician pulled her into a trick that made her laugh. She helped Dean feed the goats in the petting zoo. Every eye was on her, the woman they had only heard rumors about, now here, radiant and warm.Pedro kept his distance. He didn’t want to ruin the moment.But every laugh that left Dean’s lips twisted somet
RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE Deans Birthday 9
AUTHORS POVThe Lorenzo mansion hadn’t looked this festive in years. Golden balloons floated in bunches across the courtyard, shimmering in the early afternoon sun. Cartoon character cut-outs lined the entrance—pirates, dragons, and knights—all handpicked by Dean a week before. A magician stood near the fountain, adjusting his tall hat, preparing for the show. Servers flitted about in black-and-white uniforms, balancing trays of mini burgers and strawberry smoothies.Pedro stood at the top of the stairs, overseeing everything with a tense expression. He wore a navy blazer over an ironed black shirt, looking every bit the part of a wealthy, powerful father hosting his only son’s grand celebration.But beneath the expensive fabric, his stomach churned with nerves.He did not know what name to put to the torrents of emotions he was feeling, these past few months of being Dean’s dad had showed him a side of himself he never knew existed.Dean was five-going-on-six, and he hadn’t stopped a
