All Chapters of The Billionaire's Little Thief: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

The mansion slowly settled after Natalia was taken upstairs.The maids returned to their duties, and the guards resumed their usual positions. I headed upstairs and made my way to Grandma’s room. After a quick knock, I opened the door. Grandma was sitting on the edge of her bed, her hands folded in her lap.She looked up the moment I entered. “She hasn't changed.”I stopped.“Grandma—”“Natalia is acting.”I walked over and sat beside her. “We don't know that.”Grandma shook her head. “A leopard doesn't change its spots.”I gave her a small smile. “Maybe people aren't leopards.”She didn't smile back.“If Natalia truly wants to change, it won't happen overnight,” she said. “It will take time.”“I know.”“Then don't be so quick to trust her.”“I didn't say I completely trust her. I just think we should give her the benefit of the doubt.”Grandma studied me for a moment. “That's fine. Give her a chance. But don't forget what she did.”My smile faded.“She worked with Sebastian to kid

I woke up before my alarm. That alone should have told me how nervous I was.I stared at the ceiling for a few seconds thinking about the date. A smile spread across my face before I could stop it. I threw the covers aside and got out of bed.I had no idea where Leonardo was taking me, which was already driving me insane. He had refused to tell me anything beyond the fact that I needed to be ready early.He claimed it's a surprise, knowing perfectly well that I hated surprises.I opened my wardrobe and stared at my dresses.I pulled one out, decided it was too much, and put it back. The next one looked too simple.I groaned. “Why am I acting like this?”After far too much consideration, I settled on a short polka-dot pleated dress.By the time a knock sounded at my door, I was ready.“Come in.”The door opened, and Leonardo stepped inside.He wore a dark shirt with tailored trousers, the sleeves rolled neatly to his forearms. He looked annoyingly perfect for someone who had probably

NATALIA'S POV The moment Leonardo and Riley stepped into my room, I knew they were going somewhere together.Leonardo told me they would be gone for the day, and I smiled as though the news didn't bother me.“Have fun,” I said.“Thank you,” Riley replied. His hand settled against her lower back as they turned toward the door. Then their hands found each other. Their fingers intertwined so naturally, as though they had done it a hundred times before. Leonardo glanced down at Riley with an expression I’ve never seen on his face, and she looked up at him with that smile I had started to hate.I watched the door closed behind them, and my smile disappeared.I hated how easily Riley had become part of his life and had somehow become the person Leonardo looked forward to coming home to.My fingers tightened around the blanket covering my legs.I couldn't let them have an entire day together. I needed to interrupt it.But I wouldn't rush. Patience had always been more useful than anger.

LEONARDO’S POV The moment the private jet touched down on the rooftop, I stepped off and headed straight for Riley's room. I didn't stop to speak to anyone. I needed to see her. I reached her door and knocked. “Come in.” I opened the door and found Riley sitting on the edge of her bed, her attention fixed on her phone. She looked up when I entered, and the hurt I had been dreading was there, quiet but unmistakable. I crossed the room and sat beside her. “Riley, I'm sorry.” She lowered her phone. “For what?” “For leaving you alone at the resort.” Her expression softened slightly. “I shouldn't have left,” I continued. “After I checked on Natalia, I somehow fell asleep. When I woke up, it was morning. I rushed back to the resort, but you'd already checked out.” She stared at me for a moment. “You fell asleep?” I rubbed the back of my neck. “Yes.” She looked down at her phone again before setting it aside. “It's okay.” I frowned. “It's not.” The tension inside me finally

I stayed in Natalia's room for a while after Leonardo left.Eventually, I rose from the couch. “Try to get some sleep.”Her eyes opened. “You're leaving?”I glanced at the clock. “It's late.”She hesitated, then gave me a tired smile. “Of course. Thank you for staying.”“You're welcome.”I returned to my room and went to bed.The next morning, Leonardo left early for his meeting.I had barely finished breakfast when I heard one of the maids mention that Damien had returned. I hadn't seen him in days.I found him in the garden, walking along one of the stone paths.“Damien.”He turned. “Riley.”I walked toward him, folding my arms. “So you finally decided to come back.”He laughed. “I've been busy.”“You disappeared for days without telling anyone.”“You're right.” He sighed. “Business got complicated.”“Next time, remember that people notice when you disappear.”His laugh returned. “I'll keep that in mind.”We continued walking, exchanging a few stories about his trip, until my t
