All Chapters of Alluring Mr. Billionaire : Chapter 61 - Chapter 67

Meghan:Something was wrong, I felt it the second I walked in.The house was quiet again, but not the same quiet as last night. Not warm. Not safe. This was different. This felt… distant. Even the staff who would normally be doing there thing with work seemed to have disappeared.“Alex?” I called as I stepped inside, slipping my shoes off near the door. “Are you there?”“In the living room.” He said calmly. I frowned slightly, walking toward him, noticing the edge in his tone.He was sitting on the couch, posture straight, hands resting neatly together like he had been waiting. But not the way he usually did. It wasn’t relaxed. Not… him. Not the man that I got used to… instead, it was the man that he made sure others saw to fear him.“You’re home early,” I said, trying to keep my tone light as I stepped closer. “I thought that you had an appointment today?”“I finished early.” He said coldly.“You okay?” I asked softly, looking at him, trying to study his expression.“Yes.” I sat dow

Meghan:I made it to my room before it hit me… and the second the door closed behind me, my legs gave out. I didn’t even make it to the bed. I couldn’t take another step forward before everything in me felt like it was on fire.I slid down against the wall, my hands covering my face as everything I had been holding in crashed all at once. A sob tore through me before I could stop it.“God… my chest hurt… it actually hurt.” I cried out despite knowing that no one could actually hear me. It was like something inside me had been ripped out and left raw.We need to end this.The words replayed over and over again, each time cutting deeper than the last.There is no ‘us’ anymore.“No,” I whispered, shaking my head like I could force it out. “No, you don’t mean that… I can’t accept that you would mean that, Alex. You opened the door, you can’t just slam it in my face like that and expect me to just accept it. You don’t have the right to do so like this. you can’t just think that you can do

Meghan:Waking up hurt, not physically, not the kind of pain you could stretch out or sleep off.This was deeper… Heavier. It was the kind that sat in your chest the second your eyes opened, like your body remembered everything before your mind even had the chance to catch up. And right now, with each breath that I took, I felt like I was suffocating.I stayed still under the blanket, staring at nothing.For a second, just a second… I pretended that I forgot.Then it came back, everything. All his words, his voice, the harshness in his tone…We need to end this.My chest tightened instantly, and I found myself wanting to hide under the blanket.“Why?” I whispered before turning to my side, squeezing my eyes shut. A quiet breath left me, shaky and uneven as I pulled the blanket a little closer around myself, like it could shield me from it.It didn’t, nothing did. Because nothing prepared me for the pain that came when he chose to let go. The two of us didn’t even have a problem, there

Meghan:I focused on the plates, one after the other.Making sure to set them down, align them and move on.Anything to keep my hands busy, anything to stop my mind from drifting back to him.“Careful, you’re lining them up like we’re hosting royalty,” Mia teased lightly from across the table. “Just let me know if mom decided to tell you that we are. You know, she might end up informing you while ignoring my presence completely.”“Be nice, Mia.” Her mom teased, and I let out a weak breath.“Maybe we are.” I muttered, and she snorted.“Yeah, sure. Queen of emotional breakdowns.” She teased, nudging me.“Rude.” I said, playfully rolling my eyes at her.“Accurate.” She teased, and I shook my head. It almost made me smile… the normality that I felt despite all the pain that was crumbling in my chest.Well, until the doorbell rang breaking the moment.
