All Chapters of Secret Billionaire Divorcee: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

Knoxx's Point of View"She promised it to me, Daddy! You said promises should be kept!"My daughter's voice breaks as she clutches my arm, big teary eyes staring up at me like I'm the bad guy. Again.I crouch down, trying to stay calm. “I know, sweetheart. But Mommy can’t get it for you right now.”“She said she would before she left!” Her lip trembles. “I want it!”Dolly’s name hangs unspoken between us.Before she left—before she was arrested and locked up for what she did to Caroline.The little girl doesn’t understand any of it. To her, Dolly’s still “Mommy,” and promises still matter.I exhale slowly. I don’t want to argue with a child. Not tonight. I rub a hand down my face and force a steady voice. “Which necklace did she say she’d get you?”She sniffs and pulls out the tablet from her tiny pink backpack. With a few swipes, she opens a photo. A jewelry website. One I recognize immediately.Caroline’s shop.My throat tightens. The necklace is delicate—simple, silver, with a soft

Knoxx's Point of View I park by the curb, engine idling, phone in hand. I was going to call Elle. Tell her Daddy’s picking her up today instead of the driver. She’d like that. I haven’t seen her since last weekend—too many meetings, too many damn distractions.I look down at her name on my screen. My thumb hovers over the call button.Then I see her.Elle. By the side of the school’s playground, near the steps that lead down to the lower yard. She’s with Liam—Caroline’s son.They’re talking. No, not talking. Arguing.Elle’s arms are flailing, and Liam’s backing up slightly, gripping a red toy airplane in his hands.My stomach tightens.She snatches for it.Liam pulls it back. “Stop it!”Elle lunges forward again—too fast, too rough. Her hand shoves against his shoulder, and for a second, I think she’s going to push him down the damn stairs.I’m out of the car and moving before I even realize it.“Elle!” My voice cuts across the playground.Both kids freeze.I stride over, trying to k

Caroline's Point of View I see him again outside the café.At first, I think it’s a coincidence. Knoxx is sitting two tables away from where I usually meet Penelope. He’s alone. Coffee untouched. His eyes don’t meet mine, but I can feel him watching.I ignore him.I try to sip my drink and laugh at Penelope’s story about Lorenzo and his awkward attempt to flirt at the grocery store. But the weight of that stare makes the back of my neck tighten.When we get up to leave, he does too.The next time is two days later, outside the flower shop. I’m picking up a bouquet for Adrian’s office opening. The bell above the door rings, and I turn, expecting the delivery guy.It’s him.Knoxx stands there, acting surprised. "Caroline?"I freeze. "What are you doing here?"He shrugs, too casually. “Just passing by. Didn’t know you’d be here.”&l

Caroline’s Point of View I zip up Liam’s jacket as he bounces on his toes, excitement radiating off him like heat. “Are we almost there?” he asks for the third time in ten minutes, tugging on my sleeve as I close the trunk. “Almost,” I smile, brushing hair from his forehead. “Be patient, sweetheart.” Adrian slams the car door shut and looks over at us, his lips twitching in amusement. “He gets that from you, you know.” “Impatience?” I raise a brow. He shrugs. “Excitement.” I roll my eyes and turn away so he won’t see my blush. I haven’t been to this lake since I was a teenager. It used to be my quiet place—the one spot that made me feel like I could breathe when everything else felt too loud. Now I’m here again,

Knoxx’s Point of View I don’t know why I’m still standing here. I should’ve left ten minutes ago. Elle’s been huffing beside me, trying to get my attention, whispering shit under her breath about how boring this place is. I ignore her. I can’t look away. Caroline is laughing at something the kid says. She hands him a napkin, brushes something off his cheek. Her hand lingers on the side of his face for a second. And he leans into it. It should annoy me. But it doesn’t. It makes something twist in my chest. I don’t even know this kid. And yet— He’s sitting between her and Adrian like it’s the most natural thing in the world. They look like a family. Like that’s how it’s always been. I know it’s n
