Semua Bab Billionaire Bentley's runaway princess: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Nova and Savannah stood face to face, their eyes locked in a silent battle of scorn. Nova maintained a composed demeanor, while Savannah's lips curled into a disdainful smirk.Nova broke the silence first. "What are you doing in front of my door, Savannah?"Savannah didn't answer immediately. Instead, she peered around the house, her eyes taking in every detail. "I'm glad Bentley hasn't made any changes to this room. It will certainly give me the impression that he's giving you special treatment," she remarked, still standing outside. "I still wonder why he decided to keep you upstairs instead of downstairs."Nova's expression remained neutral, though she felt a pang of irritation. Savannah continued, her tone dripping with condescension. "But I’m no longer bothered by your presence. Bentley has assured me that there's nothing between you two." Savannah then looked directly at Nova. "Can I come in?"Nova crossed her arms, shaking her head. "No, you can't. If you have something to say,

Bentley and Nova spent the rest of their afternoon in each other's arms, a feat that didn't seem possible but he could testify that he hasn't had such a peaceful sleep in a long time.He woke up first, rubbing his eyes slightly and then he turned to his side and saw Nova sleeping gently on his chest, her face serene in sleep. He scoffed as he remembered her calling him a Chameleon. And then he remembered that she cried before stepping into his room, telling him that she missed her mother and felt lonely in his house.Maybe he wasn't so nice to his guest. It wouldn't be bad if he made her happy. But before Bentley could do anything further, he paused for a moment. As he stared up at the ceiling, he remembered how dramatic he was with her earlier. He had never spoken to a woman like that before after Ivy. He hadn't even been with a woman ever since then but yet, he found himself saying those things to Nova.He sincerely hoped that she didn't take it the wrong way. And maybe, she was rig

"That's not possible, Nova. The young man was staring at me because he was seeing a new face," Chloe said, rolling her eyes playfully.Nova shook her head, a teasing smile playing on her lips. "Oh come on, Chloe. I know a look when I see one. Franco definitely had that 'I want to know more about her' look."Chloe laughed, waving it off with her hand. "You're being ridiculous. He's Bentley's right-hand man right? He wouldn't be interested in someone like me.""What do you mean by that?!" Nova challenged, crossing her arms. "Look at you. You're beautiful, kind, sexy and anyone would be lucky to have your attention. Besides, it's about time someone showed interest in you. You deserve it."Chloe blushed, waving her hand dismissively. "Alright, enough about Franco. Let's do something fun. What do you say about making a snack?"Nova's eyes lit up. "That sounds perfect! What should we make?""Hmm, how about some chocolate chip cookies? I saw the pantry earlier and it has everything we need."

"Do you have feelings for someone currently?" Bentley asked Nova."No," her answer came faster than the speed of light, and Bentley could only raise a brow.Bentley studied her for a moment, his expression rigid. "Are you sure about that?" he asked, his tone light but probing.Nova nodded quickly, trying to appear nonchalant. "Absolutely. No feelings here."Bentley didn’t seem convinced. Given that he had just overheard her conversation with Chloe, he had a reasonable doubt. Nova hadn't directly admitted to having feelings for him, but the way she replied so fast was reason enough to believe she was trying to hide something. Still, he couldn’t be sure."Alright, if you say so," Bentley said, letting it go for now. They continued eating the cookies in a slightly awkward silence, only the crunching sound of eating cookies was audible in the room.After a while, Nova decided to break the silence. "So, Bentley," she began, "I’ve been wondering about your past relationships. You never talk

The kiss was unexpected, shocking Bentley into momentary stillness. But it only took a split second for his anger to ignite like a wildfire. He shoved Ivy away from him, his eyes blazing with fury."What the fuck, Ivy? What the hell was that for?" he demanded, his voice echoing off the office walls.Ivy stumbled back, her eyes wide and glistening with unshed tears. "I... I don't know," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. It was then that she realized just how serious Bentley was. "Do you really not have any feelings for me anymore?"Bentley's jaw tightened, his expression hardening. He wanted to make her feel the pain she had caused him, to understand the depth of his betrayal. "Feelings? For you?" He laughed, a cold, bitter sound. "The only thing I feel for you is disgust. And more than anything, I just want you the fuck out of here. From my life. Forever.""Bentley, please," she pleaded, her voice breaking. "I'm sorry. I truly am."But her words only fueled his anger. "
