Day six.

She went to his office.

The decision came in a flash of desperation, the kind that made her throw on clothes without caring what she looked like, grab her purse, and walk out the door without a plan. She couldn't sit in her apartment one more day, staring at her phone, waiting for a man who'd apparently decided she wasn't worth answering.

If he wouldn't talk to her, she'd make him talk to her. In person. Face to face. He could look her in the eyes and tell her he didn't want her, if th

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE   Chapter 96: Sophia's Return

    The private investigator's report arrived on a Tuesday.Xander read it first, his face growing darker with each page. Ella watched him from across the kitchen table, Clara asleep in her arms, the morning light streaming through the window. She knew something was wrong before he spoke. Could see it in the tension of his shoulders, the set of his jaw."She's out.""Who?""Sophia." He set down the report. "She was released last week. Early parole for good behavior."

    The photograph sat on the kitchen counter like a threat.Ella couldn't stop looking at it. Every time she walked past, her eyes were drawn to the image of her daughter in that incubator, tubes and wires keeping her alive, someone watching from the shadows. The word on the back echoed in her mind. *Soon.* Soon what? Soon they would strike again? Soon they would take what they'd come for? Soon they would destroy everything Ella had fought to build?Xander had called the police within hours of finding the envelope. Two officers had come to the house, taken statements, examined the photograph, asked questions Ella couldn't answer. No, she didn't know who had sent it. No, she hadn't seen anyone suspicious. No, she couldn'

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE   Chapter 94: Tiny Miracle

    The wheelchair felt strange beneath her, but Ella didn't complain.She was out of the ICU. She was awake, alive, and on her way to see her daughter. Nothing else mattered. Xander pushed her through the long corridors, his hands steady on the handles, his presence a quiet comfort at her back. The hospital was bright this time of morning, sunlight streaming through the windows, casting patterns on the floor.The NICU was quieter than she'd expected.Soft lights, soft voices, the gentle hum of machines designed to keep tiny bodies alive. Nurses moved between incubators, checking monitors, adjusting blankets.

    The chair had become an extension of his body.Xander couldn't remember the last time he'd stood up. Hours had blurred into each other, marked only by the changing patterns of light through the window and the quiet shuffling of nurses on their rounds. Ella's hand rested in his, warm now instead of cold, her fingers occasionally twitching in her sleep. The monitors beeped their steady rhythm, proof that she was still fighting.He talked to her. Had been talking for hours, his voice hoarse, his throat raw. He told her about the baby—about Clara's tiny fingers, her shock of dark hair, the way she'd gripped his finger when he'd touched her palm. He told her about the house by the ocean, about the garden her mother

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE   Chapter 92: The Fight

    The operating room doors had closed behind Ella hours ago.Xander had lost count of how many. He stood in the hallway, his back against the cold wall, his hands shoved into his pockets. The fluorescent lights hummed above him, casting everything in a sickly glow. Nurses passed by without looking at him. Doctors came and went with clipboards and grim faces. No one stopped. No one offered news.He was alone.The waiting room was empty at this hour. Families had gone home, visitors had left, the chaos of the emergency room had faded into the quiet rhythm of the night shift. But Xander couldn't sit in those pl

  • A BILLIONAIRE'S PROMISE   Chapter 91: Risk

    The weeks that followed were the hardest of Ella's life.Not because of the fear—though there was plenty of that, lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce at every quiet moment. But because of the helplessness. The waiting. The not knowing whether her daughter would survive.The doctors had been clear: the pregnancy was high-risk. The baby was small, the placenta wasn't functioning properly, and every day was a battle. There were no guarantees. No promises. Only hope.Ella had been put on bed rest. Complete bed rest, the doctor said. No getting up except for bathroom trips. No stairs. No stress. No life.She hated it.Not the resting—she was tired enough to appreciate that. But the loss of control. The feeling that her body had betrayed her, that she couldn't protect the child growing inside her.Xander had moved his work to the bedroom, setting up a desk by the window, taking calls in whispers so he wouldn't wake her. He'd hire

    The house felt different after the hospital.Not physically—the walls were the same color, the furniture in the same places, the ocean still visible from the kitchen window. But something had shifted. Something had changed. The grief that had been pressing down on Ella's chest for mo

    Sleep was a foreign country I couldn't find my way back to.I lay in my narrow bed, staring at the ceiling, watching the shadows shift as cars passed outside. My apartment was too small, too quiet, too full of the things I couldn't afford to fix—the dripping faucet in the kitchen, the crack in the

    The world had collapsed into a symphony of humiliation.Glass crunched beneath my knees as I scrambled to pick up the shattered remnants of what had been, moments ago, a perfectly arranged tray of champagne flutes. My fingers trembled, narrowly avoiding the sharp edges. The cold liquid soaked throu

    The ice clinked against the crystal glass as I poured another whiskey for a guest who wouldn't even look at me. That was fine. I wasn't here to be seen. I was here to help Sophie, and more importantly, to earn the extra cash that would cover Mom's next round of medication."Ella, sweetie, table sev
