All Chapters of Faking Forever With The Billionaire : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aiden's heart was thundering in his chest.Alina’s lips were soft, and her shaky breathe brushed against his face. Her arms held him tight. But the moment her eyes fluttered shut and her grip loosened, he knew...she had fallen asleep.Her breathing became calm. Her lips were slightly parted as she lay there under him, looking peaceful… maybe too peaceful after everything that just happened.He swallowed hard.Sliding away gently, Aiden stood and watched her for a second; her hair was spread across the pillow, and her hands were still loosely curled at her side.What just happened?He ran a hand down his face, forcing himself to breathe. Then, without another glance, he turned and walked out of her room, quietly closing the door behind him.His jaw was tight as he made his way downstairs, grabbing his phone from the table where he’d left it. Without hesitation, he dialed his grandma's number."Grandma," he said the moment she picked up."Well, well. Shouldn’t you be in bed by now, swee

Alina stood up abruptly, the wristwatch still clutched in her hand.Lorraine looked up from her seat, surprised. "Where are you going?""I… I just need to go," Alina said, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear."Wait, what? Is something wrong? You haven’t even had lunch...""I’m fine," Alina cut in, a little too quickly. Her voice was firm, but her steps were uneven as she headed for the door.Lorraine followed her to the hallway. "Alina, talk to me. Did I say something wrong?""No. Really, it’s nothing." She forced a small smile, though her grip on the watch had tightened. "I just… I need to be somewhere.” She said before hurrying away.****By the time Alina got to Aiden's home, the house was quiet. She walked in slowly, making her way to the living room.She sank into the couch, setting the watch gently beside her.She didn’t move but Lorraine's words still echoed in her head.‘Have you… fallen for him?’She closed her eyes, resting her head back against the cushion.‘You

Aiden’s brows furrowed deeper. The debits were from his personal account, and he couldn’t recall giving anyone access to the card.Without wasting time, he picked up his phone and dialed Jesse.It wasn’t long before Jesse arrived at the hotel. He walked straight in and found Aiden sitting on the edge of the bed, phone still in hand.“You sounded urgent,” Jesse said.Aiden passed him the phone. “Check these out. My card’s been used multiple times today, and I didn’t approve any of it.”Jesse scrolled through the transactions, his brows lifting. “Whoa. High-end fashion boutiques, an upscale salon, five-star dining… These aren’t small charges.”"I didn’t authorize these transactions," Aiden said sternly. "I need to know who’s spending my money without permission."Jesse gave a short nod and stepped into the study to access the security systems linked to Aiden’s accounts.Before Aiden could process further, another alert popped up on his screen.One million. Just like that.He stared at t

The guards Mandy had called arrived swiftly. They were dressed in all black, looking like they were ready for battle. Mandy raised a confused brow at their intense appearance but said nothing.They didn’t waste a second. One of them gently scooped Alina up while the other surrounded the exit, ensuring no one got in their way."Be careful with her," Mandy instructed. "She needs a doctor immediately. Don't tell Mrs Blackwood what happened , I'll do that myself.""Yes, Miss," one of them responded as they carried Alina down the stairs.Mandy remained in the doorway, her eyes falling back on Jennifer, who still stood rooted to the spot. Her cheek still burned from the slap, her pride was shattered, and she stood frozen in shock and anger.Mandy didn’t say a word, she didn’t need to. The look she gave Jennifer said it all; pure hatred, disgust, and an silent warning that this wasn’t over if Jennifer dared to come near again.Then, without another glance, Mandy walked out of the room.Jenni

After breakfast, Jessica and her husband left for work, making the house even quieter. Grandma Linda also went out to visit the family’s mining company, leaving Mandy at home with Aiden and Alina."You don’t go to work?" Alina asked Mandy, curious.Mandy looked up from her phone and shook her head slightly. She put the phone down and sat up. "Not really. I usually go with Grandma when she has meetings or inspections. Sometimes I help out at Dad’s company, make a few decisions, or manage contracts. Other times, I run errands for your husband.""Sounds like you do a lot," Alina said with a nod."I’m probably the busiest person in this house," Mandy said with a soft laugh as she picked her phone back up.Alina shook her head, then turned to Aiden. "You look really tired. Why don’t you take the day off and rest? You can either go home or relax here. I need to stop by my friend’s place to pick up a few things.""I’ll drive you," Aiden offered.But Alina shook her head. "No need. I’ll go wi
