All Chapters of One Weekend with the Billionaire : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

By lunchtime, the atmosphere inside the office had already changed again.Not openly.Not enough for anyone to directly say something to my face.But subtle things were becoming harder to ignore.The pauses in conversation whenever I walked past.The curious glances.The way some employees suddenly became overly polite around me.Like they were trying to confirm something they weren’t brave enough to ask directly.I kept my focus on my monitor.Emails.Reports.Schedules.Anything that would stop my thoughts from drifting too far.But honestly, it was getting harder.Because every time I looked up, I became painfully aware of one thing.Liam Villarreal was watching me again.Not constantly.Not obviously.But enough.Enough that my heart noticed every single time.A soft notification appeared on my screen.Liam: “Lunch.”I stared at the message briefly.Then typed back.Daisy: “People are already suspicious.”Three dots appeared immediately.ThenLiam: “Let them.”My chest tightened s

Liam POVAfter Marcus left my office, silence settled heavily inside the room.Not peaceful silence.The kind that waits for something inevitable to happen.Daisy Villarreal remained seated quietly on the couch while I stood near the windows with one hand inside my pocket.My thoughts were no longer confused.Now I was just angry.Not because Veronica came back.Not because she thought she could still manipulate me after everything she did years ago.But because she had already started dragging Daisy into whatever game she planned to play.And that crossed a line.Behind me, Daisy finally spoke softly.“You’re thinking too much again.”I glanced slightly over my shoulder.“You sound annoyed.”“I am.”That made her blink.I turned fully toward her afterward.“She should’ve stayed away from you.”Daisy looked down briefly before answering quietly.“She only talked to me.”“That’s enough.”Her brows pulled together slightly.“Liam.”“No,” I said calmly. “I know Veronica.”And that was ex

Daisy POVThe next morning, I woke up earlier than usual.For a few seconds, I just stared at the ceiling quietly while sunlight slipped through the curtains of our bedroom.Our bedroom.Even now, the thought still felt unreal sometimes.I slowly turned my head toward the other side of the bed.Liam Villarreal was still asleep beside me.One arm rested loosely around my waist like even in sleep, some part of him refused to let me go completely.His expression looked calmer when he sleptI watched him quietly for a moment longer before carefully moving away from his hold so I wouldn’t wake him.But the moment my feet touched the floorHis voice came softly behind me.“You’re leaving already?”I looked back immediately.His eyes were still half closed, his voice rough with sleep.“I didn’t mean to wake you.”“You didn’t.”That faint sleepy expression on his face almost made me smile.Because my mind immediately drifted back to yesterday to Veronica and to the tension inside Liam’s offic

Three months. That was how long it had been since Veronica Williams completely disappeared from our lives. And little by little, I finally started breathing easier again. For the first time in months, I stopped waiting for something bad to happen every time I walked into work. Stopped expecting whispers. Stopped wondering if Veronica would suddenly appear beside Liam again claiming she still belonged in his life. The silence she left behind no longer felt threatening. Now it just felt… distant. Like a storm that had already passed. And honestly? I hoped it stayed that way. Because things between Liam and me had finally become peaceful. Not perfect. We still kept our marriage private inside the company. Still acted professionally around everyone else. Still careful. But privately? We had become something soft and steady in ways I never expected. Liam was still Liam. Possessive. Protective. Sometimes frustratingly overbearing. But he had also become patient with me

I still couldn’t believe how fast everything was changing.Just this morning, I went in for a routine check-up.Just a simple confirmation.And I came out carrying a truth that suddenly felt too big for my chest.Pregnant.Even now, sitting inside the car beside Liam Villarreal, I kept unconsciously pressing my hand over my stomach.It still felt unreal.For example, if I stopped thinking about it for even a second, I might wake up and find out it was just a dream.But Liam’s presence beside me grounded everything.Calm.Steady.As if nothing in the world could shake him, not even news like this.He was driving, one hand on the steering wheel, the other resting loosely near the gear shift.But every few minutes, his eyes would flick toward me.Checking.Observing.Like he was making sure I was still okay.Finally, I broke the silence.“You’re too quiet.”He glanced at me briefly.“I’m thinking.”“That sounds dangerous.”A faint smirk appeared on his lips.“For who?”“For me,” I answer
