All Chapters of Claimed By The Billionaire Ex: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Chapter 91: An Awkward Lunch With Aurora But an Ignorant AlexJace’s POVAurora paused. She gave me a look but didn't say anything."I don't hate it." She said lowly after what felt like hours even though it was only minutes.I should be happy that she said she doesn't hate it but that wasn't enough especially since I could see that she really wasn't interested in the food itself.I'd put in effort to prepare this and she wasn't even eating it. I couldn't even get mad at that, instead of just filled me with the realization that I had done this too at one point.I had picked at the food she had served for us and instead of focusing on her, I focused on work and when I was done picking at the food, I stood up without acknowledging her.Honestly, I did that numerous times. Times I couldn't count and if this was payback...I deserved it.I released a slow sigh, barely audible, and reached for my fork again even though my appetite had already begun to fade. The food sat untouched on my plate

Chapter 93: The Things She Didn’t SayAurora’s POVBy the time Alex finally fell asleep, the house felt quieter than it should have.Kelsey had given him everything she had, and then some. She sat cross-legged on the living room floor with him, playing a ridiculous card game she made up on the spot, letting him win dramatically every single round. She listened—actually listened—as he talked nonstop about Magic Man. About the shark apron. About helping in the kitchen. About bubbles and prayers and Finding Nemo.He basically told her everything he had told her on the way over, all over again, going on about how he liked Magic Man a lot.She laughed at the right places, asked the right questions, reacted with just the right amount of awe, like everything he said mattered. And to her credit, it did.Alex talked until his words blurred together, eyelids drooping, sentences trailing off into half-finished thoughts. When he finally leaned against her shoulder, thumb tucked into his palm, Kel

Chapter 95: Refusing To Go Back To The Same Situation As Before Aurora’s POVKelsey didn’t speak right away.She just looked at me—really looked at me—with that careful expression she wore when she was measuring the weight of my words instead of reacting to them.“Are you sure?” she asked finally.I nodded without hesitation. “Yes.”My voice didn’t shake. That alone surprised me.“There’s no reason to keep it hidden anymore,” I continued. “Not from Alex." I leaned back against the couch, staring at the ceiling for a second before looking at her again. “He already likes Jace. A lot. He talks about him like he’s some kind of superhero. If anything, knowing Jace is his father will just make him happy.”Kelsey studied my face like she was looking for cracks. “And you’re okay with that?”“I am,” I said honestly. “Alex deserves the truth. I won’t let fear decide that for me.”She nodded slowly, accepting that much. Then she tilted her head slightly, eyes sharpening.“And what if,” she said

Chapter 97: The Things He Refused to ChangeJace’s POVI sat in my home office long after the house had gone quiet, my phone lying face-up on the desk like it might accuse me if I looked at it too closely.Aurora was going to tell Alex.The thought alone sent a sharp, unfamiliar rush through my chest—something dangerously close to excitement. I tried to temper it, tried to be rational about it, but I couldn’t stop the images from forming anyway. Alex’s face lighting up. The questions he would ask. The way he might look at me differently once he knew. The way he already called me magic man—as if I were something special instead of the man who had missed the most important years of his life.I exhaled slowly and leaned back in my chair.I should have felt happy, honestly, I felt happy but there was still something heavy and restless in my chest that just refused to settle.I picked up the phone again, my thumb hovering uselessly over the dark screen. Her message replayed in my mind whet

Chapter 99: The Moment He Didn’t Know He Was Waiting ForJace’s POVI hadn’t slept much these past few days and that was because I had been playing around replaying that conversation in my head multiple times.I wasn't even that focused on work. I was just thinking about Alex and Aurora.Aurora hadn’t said a word about how the conversation went with Alex and that gave me a lot of thoughts, imaginations that messed with me. Could it be that unlike what I thought, Alex didn't like that I was his father?And why the fuck is Aurora not saying a thing? She didn't even drop a hint. Not a warning, nothing at all. Just a calm message telling me what time I could pick Alex up. I wanted to drag her by the shirt and ask her, ‘what did he say?!’But then I realized that if Alex had a bad reaction to it then she wouldn't have let me pick him up after all. I pulled into the driveway and shut off the engine, gripping the steering wheel for a second longer than necessary. Devon was already restles
