All Chapters of Curvy Girl Returned With His Best Friend’s Baby: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Lana’s POV I barely slept His words from last night kept replaying over and over. “Tomorrow morning. I need to talk to you about something important” He didn't even explain or give a hint, he just left me standing there with every possible thought running through my head.By the time the sun rose, my eyes felt heavy, and my stomach was tense. I kept telling myself it was probably business-related; it has to be. Maybe something about the company profile he told me to resend, maybe he changed his mind about reviewing it, maybe he wanted to tell me the conditions. I braced myself for anything, I don't want to expect anything more.I showered, dressed in a simple outfit, said my manifestation, and took a long breath before opening my door.Jace was already outside.Dressed in a fitted shirt, black slacks, and polished shoes. His watch was on, his hair neat and trimmed, and his posture straight; every inch of him screamed he was back to business mode. I swallowed. “Good morning” “Mor

Lana’s POV The next morning after I woke up and had my bath, Jace said he had already booked a spa day for us since I walked uncomfortably last night and he knew that since I didn't complain that it showed in my expression. I was flattered, this feeling felt soft, close and personal. I thanked him and got ready.When we reached the spa entrance, I could already feel the sensation that was running through my body and the cool humming of the air conditioning that gave me goosebumps. “This is good” I complimented as Jace walked in, his posture straight and expression relaxed like he doesn't feel what is going on.I, on the other hand, kept touching my hair and fixing my shirt even though it didn't need fixing. The receptionist looked up and gave the brightest smile I had ever seen. “Welcome to Sunrise Spa” she said as she looked between us, and her smile grew even wider “Couple's reservation for ten a.m right?” Before I could correct her, Jace answered “yes”.I stared at him. The r

Lana’s POV I stared at the dresses on the bed, hands hovering over the fabrics as if touching them could give me the right answer. I had planned to keep it simple, something elegant, not flashy but every dress I picked suddenly felt wrong. Too tight. Too revealing. Too boring. Too obvious. I sighed, packing back and forth. Why was I even caring so much? This was a business dinner, not a fashion show yet every time I imagined Jace seeing me in one of these dresses, my stomach flipped. I hated that his opinion mattered to me, hated that I was overthinking this entire evening because of him.I pulled a navy blue dress off the hanger and held it against my body. Simple cut, elegant shimmer and a hint of power. “Okay ... .maybe this is the one” I muttered to myself but then I remembered the first impression I had to make with investors. What if it made me look weak? What if it didn't show I was capable? I dropped it on the bed and grabbed a red one. Bold, striking, too striking. I he

Lana’s POV I can't do it. I can't focus. We're in danger, I just couldn’t shake off the fear in her eyes. Her words kept replaying. Something felt off, I kept wondering.I leaned again towards Jace. “Wwe have a problem. I think someone's in danger. Right here”.“Not now” he said, narrowing his eyes. “Focus on why we are here Lana”.Not now? His tone was sharp and impatient, he said as if I was a nuisance.“I'm not joking!” I hissed, leaning closer. “Someone needs help, please you have to listen”.“Lana, behave!” His voice snapped this time. And it made my blood run hot. I felt shock run through me, I wanted to move, to scream to show him but I can't.I stood up abruptly, the chair scraped against the floor. The clatter loud, all eyes turned to me.I could feel their stares, womdering, amused, curious but I didn't care. I don't care, not when someone, maybe more than one person, is in danger.“I can't sit here” my voice was trembling. “This isn't what I came here for”.Jace's expressi

Lana’s POV The suite was quiet, I could hear the clock tick louder and as if time were slow. Jace is making dinner again, tagging it as an apology for the fight and me rushing out without taking anything.I told him not to, that I am fine, but you can't talk him out of something he puts his mind to do, so I allowed him to do what he wants while I sat on the sofa, enjoying the quietness that comes with it.I felt his presence before I heard him move.He didn't sit across the table, not in the formal, distant way he often did. Instead, he lowered himself onto the sofa beside me, close enough that I could feel the heat radiating from him. He was now relaxed, calm and his gaze fixed on me.“I can see your eyes watching me before I came and now you're pretending not to notice that I am here with you Lana. You need to work on your deception games". I swallowed. Words stuck in my throat. I was caught red-handed and I can't hold them in any longer. The woman's eyes, her words, the whispers
