All Chapters of Billionaire Bentley's runaway princess: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Bentley walked up to Nova, his presence dominating the room. He stopped just inches from her, his eyes boring into hers with an intensity that made her heart race. "I want you to be perfect," he said, his voice low and demanding. "Unlike the other women I've seen and been with."Nova's breath caught in her throat. The tension between them was evident, and she felt the weight of his expectations pressing down on her. "What gives you the right to ask for my perfection?" she shot back, her voice trembling but defiant. "We're not in a relationship, Bentley. We're not bound by any romantic connection. You have no right to demand perfection from me or to compare me to the women you've been with."Bentley's brow corked upwards but he said nothing, his silence more infuriating than any response he could have given. Nova took a step closer, her eyes blazing with unshed tears. "You're hurting me, Bentley. I don't know if you are aware but I need to let you know that you are," she said, her voic

Nova wiped the tears from her face, taking a deep breath to steady herself before stepping into the main hall. Her emotions were still raw, but she knew she couldn't let anyone see her like this. She had to find Chloe.She scanned the hall for any sign of Chloe but she was nowhere to be seen. Deciding to check the front yard, Nova headed outside, but there was no sign of Chloe there either. She asked a few employees if they had seen the lady she arrived with, but no one seemed to know. The place was sprawling, making it difficult to keep track of everyone.Nova's mind raced as she wondered where Chloe could be. Then, she noticed a sign that read "Restaurant." If there was one thing she knew about Chloe, it was that her friend loved to eat and cook. It seemed like a good place to start looking.As Nova entered the restaurant, she immediately spotted Chloe. She was sitting at a table, laughing and talking animatedly with Franco. They looked so engrossed in their conversation, and Chloe

Castiel stared at Savannah, confusion clouding his features. He squinted his eyes as he tried to make sense of what Savannah was saying. "I don't understand what you're talking about," he said. "Nova Sinclair? Dominic Sinclair's daughter?"Savannah nodded, her eyes fierce. "Yes, she is Dominic Sinclair's daughter. Haven't you been paying attention to the news at all? Yeah right, you don't like listening to the news," she said as she sat down on the seat opposite him.Castiel shook his head, still processing the information. "Are you serious? Nova Sinclair is working here at SGH, living with Bentley under some kind of contract? Why?"Savannah rested her palms on the table and leaned forward a bit, her voice low. "Yes, and it's all over the news. The details of why she's with Bentley aren't clear, but the media reported that she signed a non-disclosure agreement. I'm still trying to figure things out. Bentley wouldn't tell me, neither would that insolent bitch."Castiel frowned, tapping

Nova was in the process of taking off her clothes when Bentley suddenly barged into her room. The door swung open with a force that startled her, and she whirled around, clutching her shirt to her chest."What are you doing in my room?" she demanded, her voice sharp with surprise and anger. "Why would you just barge in like that?"Bentley’s face flushed with remorse. He sighed as he apologized to her. "I’m sorry, Nova. I shouldn’t have barged in like that," he began, his voice unsteady. "You’ve been ignoring me all day."Nova's eyes narrowed, and she tightened her grip on her shirt. "Ignoring you? How was I ignoring you?" she countered. "You offended me, Bentley. You treated me like I was nothing. All I did was stay out of your way to avoid getting emotionally hurt."Bentley took a step closer, his eyes pleading. "I know, and I’m truly sorry. It was never my intention to hurt you. Someone made me angry, and I didn’t know when I lashed out at you. I’ve been trying to talk to you becaus

Nova leaned against the doorframe of her room, her body sagging with exhaustion. Her evening with Bentley had left her emotionally drained. The kiss, the romantic tension, and then the sudden interruption—all of it had left her feeling more alive than she had in years, yet utterly spent. Why did Franco have to come at that time?She sighed deeply, her weary face reflecting her disappointment as she slowly turned the knob and pushed the door open.Chloe, who had been lounging on her bed scrolling through her phone, looked up as soon as she heard the door. The sight of Nova’s weary face made her sit up quickly. “Nova! What happened?”Nova managed a tired smile as she stepped inside, her legs feeling heavy. “You wouldn’t believe it if I told you.” She sighed dramatically, letting Chloe guide her to sit on the edge of the bed.Chloe’s concern was evident. “Come on, tell me. What happened?”“We were so close, Chloe,” Nova said, her voice filled with a mix of frustration and disbelief.Chlo
