All Chapters of I PAID A BILLIONAIRE FOR A NIGHT : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Chapter 122Blake’s POVI drove away from Ivy's house feeling like a stranger in my own body. My hair was messy, and the dark circles beneath my eyes made me look older than I was.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. I couldn't meet Arya like this, I needed to go home first and wash off the smell of Ivy's house off me. So instead of heading straight to the workshop, I turned the car around and drove toward home.I kept thinking about what I would say. How could I explain something that barely made sense to me?I had gone to help Ivy, she asked me to help her with her sink and I did, I accepted a glass of water… and then I woke up half naked beside her?It sounded insane even to me. It sounded like the kind of excuse a guilty man would make.What if Arya did not believe me? My stomach twisted. I wouldn't blame her if she did not, I barely believed it myself.I parked the car in front of the house and stepped out, moving quickly toward the front door.The moment I stepped inside,

Chapter 124Arya’s POVBy the time Milo’s car pulled into the hospital parking lot, I felt like I could barely breathe. My entire body was shaking, my chest, throat, even my hands hurt from how tightly I've been clenching them. The second the car stopped, I was already opening the door.“Arya, wait,” Milo said quickly, but he might have as well been talking to the wind because I didn't pay any attention to his words. I climbed out so fast I almost stumbled from how weak my knees felt. Milo caught up quickly, his hand hovering near my back as we rushed toward the entrance.The sharp smell of antiseptic hit me the moment we walked inside. The lobby was crowded, but I barely noticed any of it.All I could think about was Blake. I needed to see him. I needed to know that he was alive.As we reached the waiting area near the surgical ward, I froze, seeing Mr and Mrs Donovan, Danielle… and Ivy. They were clustered together, fear and worry written all over their faces.I took a few steps t

Chapter 126Arya’s POVI was standing under the pouring rain in the middle of a hospital parking lot, sobbing into a stranger's shoulder.The woman held me, stroking my back and hair as she consoled me and called me her baby over and over again. Despite the fact that we were standing under the pouring rain, it felt warm and safe being in her arms. It was like something I had been missing my whole life without even realizing it.I sobbed into her shoulder until my chest hurt and I could barely breathe, and through it all, she just held me and kept stroking my wet hair, murmuring soft little words against my forehead."It's okay, I've got you… you're okay now.”I did not know how long we stood there, but eventually my crying slowed and the rain had subsided as well. I pulled back slightly, wiping at my face with trembling fingers before looking up at her, shocked to see that she was crying softly too. Milo stood a few feet away in stunned silence, staring at both of us with a shocked

Chapter 128Blake’s POVThe first thing I felt was pain. It felt like all the bones in my body were broken, and even breathing hurt my chest. For a few seconds, I had no idea where I was. Everything around me felt blurry, and I slowly opened my eyes to see a white ceiling facing me. I looked around, staring at the machines beeping around me, and then it suddenly hit me.I was on my way to see Arya, and then…. The truck, the pain, everything came back in full focus. I tried to move, but pain shot through my side so sharply that I let out a rough groan.Immediately, someone moved beside me."Blake?"I turned my head slightly to see my mother was sitting by the bed.She looked exhausted, and her eyes were red and swollen like she had been crying nonstop for hours.My father stood behind her with one hand on her shoulder. Danielle was there too… and Ivy.I frowned weakly. Why was Ivy there? And where was Arya?I forced myself up slightly despite the pain."Arya," I croaked. My voice ba

Chapter 130Blake’s POVThe meeting room was filled with voices, numbers, projections – things that should have demanded my full attention. But my mind was somewhere else. It was still on that road, still on the little girl who looked just like her mother. Arya…the woman who broke my heart. Not just broke it, she shattered it so much that I don't think it would ever be whole anymore.I stared blankly at the presentation screen in front of me as one of my executives spoke about projected returns and expansion strategies. His voice blended into the background, reduced to nothing more than a distant hum.Five years. Five years, and she had just… appeared. My jaw tightened slightly.Gabriella and Gabriel. The names echoed in my head. What would life have been like if they had grown up with me as their father?My fingers curled subtly against the armrest of my chair and I forced myself to focus.This deal was too important for me to get distracted. The Donovan Group had been working toward
