Semua Bab Faking Forever With The Billionaire : Bab 191 - Bab 200

The moment Aiden’s phone rang and he heard the worry in Lorraine's voice, his entire world narrowed to a single, terrifying point...Alina. His instructions to Lorraine were swift. "Tell Jesse to get her to the hospital. Now."He was already in the elevator before the call ended, his fingers flying across his phone’s screen to dial Johnny. "Bring me a car. You have five minutes." He didn’t wait for a full reply, only needing to hear the confirming "Alright" before ending the call.The elevator descent felt like an eternity. Each second that ticked by sent a fresh wave of anxiety rushing through him. When the doors finally slid open, he received the update that Alina had already been rushed to the hospital. He strode through the lobby, his impatience clear in every tense line of his body.He didn’t have to wait long because just as he stepped outside, a car horn sounded, and Johnny pulled up. Aiden didn’t even allow the car to come to a complete stop before he yanked the door open and s

For a single, heart-stopping moment after Elise’s question, the grand hall was utterly silent. You could have heard a pin drop. Then, like a swarm of angry bees, the whispers began."She doesn’t understand the word," someone murmured."For a department head, knowing three languages is basic. This is an international bidding event! What was she thinking?""This is a disgrace to BLAQ’s reputation.""I have to admit, her presentation was good… but how can she not answer a simple question?"On the stage, Alina stood completely frozen. The bright lights that had felt empowering moments before now felt like harsh interrogation lamps. She could feel eyes staring, judging, and pitying her all at once.Her hands, which had been resting confidently on the podium, grew cold and clammy with sweat. A hot, prickling wave of humiliation rushed to her cheeks, burning so brightly she was sure everyone could see it. In that moment, she felt smaller and more embarrassed than she ever had in her entire

Every head in the room snapped toward the giant board like puppets pulled by the same string. They held their breath, watching.And then it happened.One number appeared under BLAQ’s name. Then another. And another. It was slow at first...then, it became a flood.Dozens of bids, then hundreds. The numbers flashed and climbed so fast they became a blur, leaving every other company far behind.The quiet hall shattered with gasps, followed by a wave of excited murmurs. People jumped to their feet and reporters rushed forward, their cameras and microphones ready. The air was filled with a single, unspoken question: What is happening?Aiden’s eyes were locked on the screen, his brow a hard, dark line. "What the hell is going on?" But the numbers just kept climbing."What is this? What's happening?!" Mr. Davidson shrieked, panicked obvious in his voice.The camera flashes kept going, flashing like crazy.Then the crowd parted. A group of serious-looking police officers walked in, pushing t

Lorraine stood there for a moment, her fingers fidgeting with the strap of her bag. Then she let out a small breath, one of those breaths people take right before confessing something embarrassing and irreversible.She shifted her weight onto one foot, then the other, as if steadying herself, "Okay," she whispered, "I’m just going to say it before my courage expires." She breath out.Jesse furrowed his brows, waiting."First of all, I’m a very straightforward person. Pain? I don’t hide it. If someone hurts me, I drag them outside and tell them straight to their face.""Outside?""Yes. Outside." She nodded seriously. "Sunlight makes honesty clearer."He opened his mouth, then closed it again.She continued, hands waving in small circles as if stirring the air. "So… I know this might surprise you. Or shock you. Or make you faint. Whatever reaction it might cause. But after that night when I kissed you while I was drunk,” she paused and glared at him, “you haunted me.”“What?""I said yo

At the entrance of the creative department, Lorraine suddenly grabbed Alina’s sleeve and pulled her back a step.“What is it?” Alina asked, raising a brow.“Are you sure you want to start working already?” She whispered, worry in her eyes. “You fainted a few days ago. Shouldn’t you be resting? Won’t this worry Aiden even more?”Alina let out a slow breath. “We have over a hundred design jobs waiting. Everything has to be delivered in two months. We can’t delay.” Then she gave a small smile. “But I promised him I wouldn’t push myself. I’ll keep that promise. I’m only supervising.”Lorraine sighed, still not convinced. “Fine. But… what about that thing you mentioned before? The two-week plan?”Alina let out a quiet laugh. “Let’s move it to the end… after all the designs are done. Less stress, more time. And trust me, two months will fly by. We’ll blink and it’ll be over.” She gently rubbed her belly. “And I want this plan of mine to succeed before I have my babies, you know.”With that,
