Semua Bab RELUCTANT BRIDE FOR THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE: Bab 101 - Bab 110

AUTHORS POV Pedro’s footsteps echoed into the private ward just as Dr. Rain was folding Tessa’s chart back into place. He looked sharp in a navy-blue suit, but there was a rare flicker of tension in his eyes as they darted between the doctor and his wife. “How is she, Doctor?” Pedro asked, his voice steady but edged with concern. “Is my wife alright?” Dr. Rain turned calmly, giving the composed but slightly rehearsed smile he reserved for high-profile patients. “Mr. Lorenzo, she’s stable now. She experienced a drop in blood sugar, likely from stress and exhaustion. Nothing too alarming, but we’d like her to rest and follow a strict medication routine for now.” Pedro frowned. “She fainted because of stress?” Dr. Rain nodded. “Her vitals are fine. We’ve given her something to help with the dizziness. She’ll need to take some supplements and avoid anything that can overwhelm her.” Pedro’s gaze softened, and he looked past the doctor toward the bed. Tessa had turned her head aw

AUTHORS POVIt was as though shadows could hear the questions in Regina’s mind as she settled into the quietness of Tessa’s hospital room.She loved that it was quiet, and further more, loved that her brother’s wealth could fetch them such specialized health care.The movements of emergency trolleys pushing people around and the occasional distant footsteps in the corridor were the only sounds regina registered in her mind. Tessa lay peacefully, her breathing steady, a slight smile playing on her lips as she drifted deeper into slumber.Regina sat beside her, gently brushing a strand of hair from Tessa’s forehead. The day’s events had been overwhelming, and the room’s tranquillity offered a brief respite. As the minutes ticked by, Regina’s eyelids grew heavy, and she leaned back in the chair, succumbing to the pull of sleep.The room remained the same, yet there was an uncanny stillness, as if time itself had paused. Tessa stirred slightly, murmuring something inaudible before sett

AUTHORS POVLater that evening, the air was heavy with the smell of impending rain or it was just Regina’s pregnancy heightened sense of smell kicking in. Pregnancy is such a beautiful things as chaotic as it presents itself, but Regina hated the way it brought changes to her body that she didn’t ask for. Regina stood outside Franco’s apartment with a mask on her face, her coat clutched tightly around her, heart pounding in her chest.She wondered if she had lost her mind.She also wondered if someone, somewhere, had a remote control in hand and was controlling her to do the craziest things because she could not explain how she convinced herself to get here but the strong need to do so was just as overwhelming. Her breath came in short, uneven bursts as she debated turning back. But she didn’t. She couldn’t.Not after that dream.With a resolve she barely recognised, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.Franco opened it moments later, his expression quickly shifting from co

AUTHOR'S POV The energy was different when they arrived at the house; it was something Tessa could not explain about the Lorenzo mansion.Maybe because she had not been in the house for a couple of days, for weird reasons, weird thoughts of her child running around the house crept into her mind. She shut out such thoughts as quickly as they came.As the door clicked shut behind them, it dawned on Tessa that it had been a slippery couple of months and she had not heard from Aunt Norah. It didn’t make any sense to her why Pedro had refused to let her see her aunt.It also dawned on her that if she had to rely on herself to do anything with regards to helping Aunt Norah, she would sit and watch a year ago and nothing would still happen.So she quietly accepted she needed George’s help anyway; anyhow, she just wanted out of this prison she had found herself in.The maidservants were very welcoming as Tessa, Regina, and the bodyguard walked into the familiar corridor of Lorenzo’s mansion,

AUTHORS POV Tessa sat on the neatly dusted sofa, a steaming cup of tea cradled in her hands and warming her cold stomach. The events of the past few days had left her emotionally drained, but the thought of the upcoming vacation with Camila and Jamie brought a hint of excitement, it was the only piece of joy that seemed to hold her together since pedro forbade her from working till she is fully on her feet and recovered. Pedro entered the room, his footsteps steadied like he was trying to surprise her. He carried a small box, which he placed on the coffee table before sitting across from Tessa. “I wanted to apologize for raising my voice at the hospital,” he began, his sound a bit sincere. “It was uncalled for, and I regret it.” Tessa looked up, surprised by his contrition, at some point she admitted she needed to stop acting surprise when pedro did something because there was never an explanation to his actions or what he was going to do or say next. “Thank you, Pedro.
