All Chapters of Curvy Girl Returned With His Best Friend’s Baby: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lana’s POV Jace’s hand stayed in front of me, steady and waiting. He didn’t rush me, didn’t repeat the request. He just watched, eyes locked on mine like he already knew my decision.I took a slow breath and placed my hand in his.His fingers closed around mine, firm and confident. A faint shift crossed his expression, interest, maybe approval but he didn’t comment. He guided me toward the dance floor with calm steps, ignoring every stare that followed us.The crowd parted for him instantly.Music filled the hall. Soft, rhythmic. Simple enough that anyone could follow, but intimate enough that missteps would be obvious.Jace placed one hand on my waist, the other guiding mine up. His touch was direct, controlled, warm.“Ready?” he asked quietly.I nodded once.We moved.At first, I expected awkwardness. I expected him to be stiff or overly formal, or for me to stumble after everything that had happened tonight. But he moved with precision, and I followed without thinking. Each step

Lana’s POV I turned sharply toward the sound, Jace had arrived. His presence immediately changed the atmosphere in the hallway.The group of women stiffened, suddenly putting on fake smiles and sweet voicesThey quickly claim that I attacked them, each woman giving a slightly different version, but all aligning to make me look guilty.I stood tall, voice steady: “I didn’t touch anyone.”Some bystanders murmured, unsure of whom to believe. Phones were raised, recording everything.The woman who seemed like the lead tried to push her advantage further. “You’re lucky he’s here. We’ll make sure this goes on record.”Jace’s gaze sweeps over the women, sharp and calculating. His eyes narrow, assessing the situation in silence.He steps closer to me, his hand lightly brushing mine to pull me aside.He keeps his voice low, controlled. “Are you okay?”I straighten, meeting his gaze. “I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”Jace’s jaw tightens. His tone sharpens slightly. “You shouldn’t have faced th

I arrived at the location that was sent to me, and the area looked rough and deserted. Not the kind that people leave willingly, but the one that they were forced, killed or they moved to protect themselves.On the way to the location, I had already called Mina to follow closely after sharing my location with her. I don't know the person and my spirit wasn't fine with me coming alone. Why did the person want me to be alone? Why was I wrongly accused? Mina has told me, she has already made a report to the authority that they are also behind me. I sighed, and didn't know that I was holding something very difficult to breathe in.She warned me to take care of myself, and if anything happens, I know what to do. Do I? I thought to myself, the answer echoing back to my ears. I shook the thought of everything going wrong and tapped on my phone trying to message the strange man.“Hi, I am at your selected location." I messaged the person, and the typing message popped immediately. I stared

Lana’s POV “Shit" Mina said.I laughed. It was very rare to see her curse and her face pumped up like that. "You look cute when you get angry Mina, I might have to improve on my rage-bait now” Her laughter broke through me. The softness I needed and it healed it. "You are not serious Lana. First off, you didn't think that you're going to get robbed in this environment like this. Jesus Christ, I was worried sick. Can you put off your silent mode?” She said,"Sure sure” I said as I took the phone from the other seat and turned it on, showing her after I was done while holding my laughter in."Thank you” she replied to me as she stood straight while I let out my laugh, though not so loud or mocking."I am going to take the police car and we will meet at the company. Please be careful and block that fuck head. He is crazy for leading you to this dangerous place and becoming a ghost. Or wait, send it to me so I can forward it to our tech team for tracking. If we find any leads, I will co

Lana’s POV I reached the office, already thinking about what I am going to say if I was asked why I was late but that seemed impossible because as I entered I met a quiet office. Nobody was there, no files, no Jace and nothing..I set down everything that I had brought on my desk and arranged them properly, my fingers shivering with doubts but I didn't bother. I can now lie without blinking an eye. I sat down and opened the laptop, trying to work on a file that I left before. I don't want a situation where if he comes, he will catch me sitting idle and start complaining about my incompetence.After thinking that I have finished. I remembered his coffee but where is he? He can't drink cold coffee and he isn't here. I wanted one for myself because I am tired and I needed more energy to continue. I set down everything and picked up my phone, shut down my laptop and went to the cafeteria to get a drink and food. On getting there, I met some people who I had a chat with asking about hi
