A one night mistake with the cold billionaire Chapter 30
Katherine's POVThe doctors cleared Dave to go home after five days in the hospital and I should have felt relief wash over me. Instead, anxiety gnawed at my gut like a living thing. Something felt wrong. Too many people had been too quiet since Liam's confession. Penelope had not shown up again at the hospital. Liam had disappeared completely. Even Diana and Felix had been silent. It was the calm before a storm and I could feel it building in my bones.Dave insisted on walking out of the hospital on his own despite the weakness I could see in his movements. His legs shook slightly with each step but his jaw was set with determination. I did not have the heart to argue with him. His pride had taken enough hits between the accident and his family's constant attempts to undermine him. If walking out on his own gave him back some dignity then I would support him.The drive back to the Laurent mansion was quiet. Dave's hand held mine tightly in the back seat of the car. His thumb rubbed

Diana's POVI sat in my apartment with my phone pressed to my ear and my heart hammering against my ribs. Felix paced nervously behind me, his footsteps wearing a path in the carpet. I had been watching the news coverage of Dave's accident and Katherine's sudden rise to billionaire wife with growing rage that threatened to consume me whole. My adopted sister somehow landed on her feet again just like she always does. But not this time. This time I had ammunition."What kind of information?" Penelope's voice came through sharp with interest.I smiled, savoring the moment before I dropped my bomb. "The kind that proves Katherine is not the innocent victim everyone thinks she is."Felix stopped pacing. He turned to look at me with worry etched across his face. "Diana, are you sure about this?"I waved him off impatiently without even looking at him. I was tired of Felix's constant second guessing. Ever since Dave entered Katherine's life, Felix had been having doubts about our plan. It w

Penelope's POVI sat in my car outside the hospital, engine off, windows cracked just enough to let the cool evening air in. My eyes stayed fixed on the building where Dave lay recovering and where that little nobody thought she had won something. The text I just sent to Katherine was only the beginning. It was time to remind her exactly who she was dealing with.I pulled out a cigarette and lit it slowly, taking a long drag. The smoke filled my lungs and I held it there for a moment before exhaling. My phone sat in my lap, screen glowing with photos I had been collecting for weeks. Pictures of Dave and Katherine at various locations. Timestamps showed I had been following them everywhere. Their favorite coffee shop. The restaurant where they had dinner last Tuesday. The park where Katherine liked to walk in the mornings.I had everything documented. Their routines, their vulnerabilities, their moments of weakness. Every single detail is cataloged and ready to use.Liam had been slopp

Katherine's POVThe hospital room became deathly silent after Liam's words. My heart stopped beating. My lungs stopped working. My mind struggled to process what I had just heard. He admitted it. He actually admitted to trying to kill me. He stood there in that hospital room and confessed to attempted murder like he was discussing what he had for breakfast.Dave exploded.Despite his injuries, despite the pain, despite everything, he tried to lunge from that bed. "YOU BASTARD!" The sound that came from him was pure animal rage, something primal and terrifying.The heart monitor went absolutely crazy. Alarms blared from every direction. I threw myself at Dave, using my full weight to hold him back. "Dave, stop! You will hurt yourself!"But he was beyond reason. His eyes were murderous as he strained against my hold and his own weakness. His face went red with effort and fury. "I am going to kill you," he snarled at Liam with such venom that I barely recognized him. "I am going to destr

Katherine's POVMy entire body went rigid the second Liam walked into that hospital room. He strolled in like he owned the place, carrying those flowers with that easy smile plastered across his face. A smile that now looked absolutely sinister knowing what I knew. Every instinct in my body screamed danger. I moved without thinking, positioning myself between him and Dave's bed like a human shield.The heart monitor erupted into frantic beeping. I glanced back and saw Dave's face contort with pure rage despite how weak he still was."Get out." Dave's voice came out like ice. Each word was clipped and dangerous in a way I had never heard before.Liam's smile did not falter. He set the flowers down on the side table with deliberate slowness, taking his time like he had every right to be there. "That is no way to greet your best friend who has been worried sick about you."His dark eyes slid to me. My stomach turned violently at the fake concern painted across his features."Katherine, y

Dave's POVPain radiated through every inch of Dave's body, but the rage burning in his chest was stronger than any physical agony. He watched Katherine's face drain of all color at his words. Her hand trembled in his. He should not be telling her this now. The doctor had ordered rest. He should play the obedient patient and keep his mouth shut. But the memory of that chandelier falling, of nearly losing her, made his blood boil hot enough to override every rational thought."Who?" Katherine demanded. Her voice shook but held firm. "Dave, who tried to kill me?"He hesitated. Once he told her, there was no going back. She would be pulled deeper into the darkness surrounding his family, into secrets he had kept buried for years. She would see the ugliness beneath the Winter name, the rot at the core of everything he came from."Dave." Her eyes burned into his, fear and determination mixing together. "Tell me."He had spent his whole life protecting people by keeping them at a distance.

Chapter 13Katherine's POV "Nice meeting you too.” but the smile that followed it was forced, and that was actually good for both of us. Then, I felt Dave's hand on me, as he suddenly placed his hand against my lower back again. Should I call it being protective, possessive, or could be mistakene
