All Chapters of The billionaire I wasn't supposed to love : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Richard Scott sat quietly in his bed, thinking about what he would have done if anything bad happened to his daughter. He had always called Evie his favourite among the siblings; seeing Evie that way made him regret going on that trip. Evie and Richard had this father-and-daughter relationship where they didn't hide anything from each other. They would ramble about random stuff late at night, watch movies, and go shopping together. If he were around, he would have noticed Evie not eating like she used to, her zooming out from conversations, the distance between the siblings, and faking her smile.He had been away for a while, not communicating with his princess; he missed her so much, but he had things to handle in secret. That was why he was always travelling. His wife, Vivian, knew about everything: the reason why he went to Sicily, Italy, and why he never communicated with them while away. Aiden thought he was going to handle business, but he travelled for another reason.His thoug

The towering glass building of Scott Corporation shimmered beneath the morning sun, standing proudly over the city's skyline. Employees hurried through the revolving doors with coffee cups in hand, greeting one another with polite smiles before disappearing into elevators bound for different floors.On the top floor, however, the atmosphere was anything but ordinary.Aiden strode through the executive corridor with his usual composed expression. His navy blue suit was immaculate, his tie perfectly straight, yet anyone who knew him well would have noticed the faint shadows beneath his eyes. He hadn't slept much. Every time he closed his eyes, he saw Evie collapsing into his arms.He had replayed the moment countless times, wondering if he could have prevented it. Wondering if pushing her away had finally broken something inside her.The elevator doors slid open."Good morning, Mr Scott."He acknowledged the greetings with a slight nod before entering the boardroom.Richard was already

That evening, the mansion felt alive. The last rays of the setting sun streamed through the tall windows, casting long streaks of amber light across the polished marble floor. Somewhere in the distance, a grandfather clock softly chimed, its familiar melody echoing gently through the still halls. Evie stepped inside with a thoughtful look on her face. She removed her shoes at the door and absentmindedly tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear."Miss Evie." Maria's cheerful voice greeted her almost immediately."I was beginning to think you'd forgotten where home was."Evie laughed softly. "Traffic."Maria narrowed her eyes playfully. "Or maybe someone kept you talking?"A faint smile tugged at Evie's lips. "It wasn't like that."Maria looked at her carefully.Something had changed. Not dramatically...But enough. The heaviness that had followed Evie for weeks seemed lighter somehow."You look happier," Maria observed.Evie hesitated before answering. "I think... Isabella and I fin

The drive home was silent. Aiden kept both hands on the steering wheel, stealing glances at Evie whenever he thought she wasn't looking.She hadn't spoken since leaving the university. She was so deep in thought. Her phone rested on her lap, switched off.She couldn't bear to read another comment.Every whisper she had heard on campus replayed inside her head."She only passes because of her father.""Rich kids always have it easy.""The lecturers are biased."None of it was true.Yet somehow...It hurt.Because no matter how hard she worked, people would always assume her surname had opened every door for her.Aiden finally broke the silence. "Are you hungry?"Evie shook her head. "No.""Coffee?"Another shake of her head. "I just want to go home."Aiden's grip tightened around the steering wheel.Home.He wished he could promise that home would make everything better.But something in his chest told him otherwise.Scott Mansion stood as grand as ever.The gates opened automatically

"Can't you see it?""For years..." "For years, everything has revolved around her." She laughed bitterly."When she smiles, he's happy." "When she cries, he falls apart." "When she gets hurt, the whole world has to stop."Her eyes glistened. "And no one thinks that's strange except me."Richard looked away."He's protective.""He is obsessed."The word echoed through the room.Richard immediately shook his head. "No."Vivian took another step. "Open your eyes.""He left a board meeting." "He ignored work.""He drove straight to her university without thinking."She inhaled sharply. "You call that normal?”Richard answered quietly. "I call that love."Vivian's expression hardened. "A brother's love has limits." A heavy, uncomfortable silence fell in the room.Richard slowly rubbed his forehead. "She's his sister."Vivian stared at him for a long moment before speaking again."Ever since..." She stopped herself.Her jaw tightened.Richard's eyes narrowed slightly. "Don't.""No." She sho
