All Chapters of The Runaway Wife And The Biker Billionaire : Chapter 11 - Chapter 15

Amelia's POV Every muscle in my body locked. My heart lurched so violently I thought it would burst through my ribs.For a few endless seconds, I focused on the weight of the hand resting on my shoulder, trying to figure out if it belonged to Matthew.But the touch was gentle.Matthew had never been gentle.No... please don't let it be him. I still silently prayed.I couldn't move. I could barely breathe. My feet felt rooted to the floor as my pulse roared in my ears. Before I could gather the courage to turn around, Lily slipped her hand from mine."Grandpa!" she squealed, her voice echoing through the terminal and drawing a few curious glances. "You're here!"Relief hit me so hard my knees almost buckled.I let out a breath I hadn't realized I'd been holding and slowly turned around.How...?How did he even know I was at the airport?The question spun through my mind as I looked at him.Mr. Rodriguez stood in front of me in his usual tailored suit, but today he looked nothing like

Amelia's POV Giselle's house wasn't far from the airport. During the short drive, I rested my head against the cool window in the front passenger seat, watching the city drift by in a blur of lights and passing cars.

But somehow, Giselle always seemed to know the exact words

Ashley's POV After Giselle left for work, the next morning it was just Lily and me.Once I'd helped her take a bath and tied her hair into a neat ponytail, I decided it was time to enroll her in a new school.The term had already gone halfway. I just prayed someone would be willing to take her.Before leaving for work, Giselle had handed me her car keys."I'll take the bus," she'd insisted when I told her I needed to stop by the supermarket afterward. "My office isn't far anyway."I'd argued with her for almost five minutes before giving up. She was just as stubborn as I remembered."Where are we going, Mommy?" Lily asked as I locked the apartment door. Giselle had already given me a spare key."We're going to find you a new school, sweetheart."The excitement on her face vanished like someone had blown out a candle.It happened so fast my heart sank. I crouched in front of her and gently rested my hands on her shoulders."Hey." I smiled softly. "Talk to me. What's wrong?"She looked
