All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Affair: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The sun was dipping lower, casting golden hues over the clearing when Hayden finally found us. I was mid-sentence, trying to explain something to Blake when Lianna spoke again, her voice insistent.“Will you really not be joining us? I’m sure Cassian will be happy if Blake is there.” she said, smiling while looking at our sons playing. “It’s just close friends, and I’m quite sure that Dominic won’t show up. He always come with us but always skips the celebration.” Before I could respond, Hayden’s voice cut through the air. “What celebration?”I turned to see him walking toward us, his sharp gaze flickering between Lianna and me. His presence shifted the energy between us, making the atmosphere a little tenser. Lianna’s expression wavered briefly before she regained her composure.Hayden upon getting closer, chuckled, as his gaze flickered to Lianna, who stood a little straighter. “Didn’t expect to see you here.”Lianna’s expression remai

The day had been so long, I had to attend countless meetings and work on endless stack of paperwork that seemed to multiply no matter how quickly I worked through them. By the time I wrapped up at the office, the sky had begun setting.Stretching my arms, I glanced at my phone and saw a message from Hayden:Hayden: We’re picking up Blake from preschool. Are you heading home soon?I smiled at the thought of my little family, but instead of heading home immediately, an idea popped into my mind.Me: Not yet. Thinking of stopping by the mall for a bit. I want to pick up a few things—and maybe some presents for Blake.Hayden: Spoiling him again?Me: Obviously.Hayden: Just don’t buy out the whole store. See you later, love.Shaking my head at his teasing, I grabbed my bag and made my way toward the mall.It had been a while since I’d taken the time to shop for myself. Ever since I started getting more involv

I adjusted the hem of my dress, exhaling as I glanced at myself in the mirror. Tonight was going to be a long night. The city’s governor was hosting a grand event, and almost every major family in the city had been invited. It wasn’t the type of gathering I looked forward to, but it was necessary. Networking, keeping up appearances, and maintaining the family’s influence were all part of this charade.Blake suddenly ran into the room, his tiny footsteps echoing against the marble floor. "Mama, I want to go with you!"I sighed, turning to face him. He was already dressed in a small tuxedo, his hair neatly combed. "Blake, there will be a lot of adults. It’s not really a place for kids.”"But I want to go!" he pouted, his big eyes pleading. "Please, Mama?""Blake—"“Uncle Hayden!" Blake called out suddenly, running towards the hallway.I groaned. He knew exactly how to get what he wanted. A few seconds later, Hayden entered the room with an amused smirk, arms cr

My heart pounded as I stared at the sight before me.Fiona was in another man’s arms.They weren’t just standing close or talking intimately—they were embracing. His arms were wrapped securely around her, and her head rested against his chest. From the slight shake of her shoulders, I could tell she had been crying.I should have turned away immediately. Should have backed off before they noticed me. But I was frozen, caught between shock and disbelief.Then the man whispered something to her, his voice too low for me to make out. Fiona sniffled, nodding against him before finally pulling away. She wiped her face quickly, composing herself as if nothing had happened.I took that as my cue to leave.I didn’t saw the man’s face because his back was facing me, but the voice…it was familiar, I just can’t point who it was.Turning on my heel, I quietly stepped away, my mind spinning. So, this was what was really going on. Whatever was happening between Fiona a

The cafeteria was buzzing with employees when we walked in, their murmurs barely audible over the clinking of utensils and the occasional bursts of laughter from different tables. But as soon as Dominic and I stepped inside, the atmosphere noticeably shifted. The room got quiet and everyone glanced in our direction, and a few people even outright gawked.Great. Just great.Because having lunch with one of the city’s most talked-about man wasn’t going to be a headline waiting to happen.I sighed internally, resisting the urge to pinch the bridge of my nose. I should’ve just locked my office door.Dominic, on the other hand, seemed completely unfazed, his usual smirk plastered on his face as he leisurely strolled beside me, hands shoved casually in his pockets.I purposely chose the cafeteria because I don’t want to be seen outside with him."People are staring," I muttered under my breath, shooting him a pointed look.He hummed in amusement. "Let them. May
