Later that evening, Carlos quietly led Maurice into his private study. The room, lined with shelves of old books and faintly lit by a single lamp, seemed to breathe with the heaviness of unspoken truths. Carlos motioned for him to sit, but when he lowered himself into his chair, the strength that usually radiated from him was gone. He looked, diminished, like a man who had finally run out of battles to fight.

“Maurice,” Carlos said at last, his voice rough and low, “there’s something I’ve ke

  • Birthed For Me (From Guardian to Groom)    Chapter 58: Gowns, Glares, and Guilt

    Mia’s hands trembled slightly as she fastened the final hair clip into Gina’s soft curls. The delicate strands shimmered under the warm light, framing a face that was almost too still, beautiful, yes, but carrying a quiet storm beneath the surface. The air in the room was hushed, thick with perfume, silk, and unspoken thoughts. Only the faint rustle of the gown and the soft clink of jewelry broke the silence. Mia stepped back, her throat tightening with emotion. “Just last year, I was the one in white, sweating bullets,” Mia said, her voice warm but laced with wistful nostalgia, like she was flipping through a mental scrapbook. “You were fussing over my veil, keeping me from bolting. Now look at us, time’s playing tricks, huh?” She flashed a grin, but her eyes softened, catching the shadow in Gina’s gaze. Gina smiled faintly, though it barely reached her eyes. Her gaze drifted toward the mirror, where her reflection looked back at her, radiant, composed, and yet… hollow. “It does,

  • Birthed For Me (From Guardian to Groom)    Chapter 57: Storms Unexpected Results

    The next morning, Martin yawned and stretched, then attempted to roll over, but something heavy pinned his arm down. He tugged gently, feeling warmth instead of the familiar cushion of a pillow.His eyes snapped open, and he was met with the sight of Gina beautiful face, she was sprawled beside him, draped only in a white sheet. As the events of the previous night rushed back into his mind, a wave of guilt and regret washed over him.The realization of what he had done, especially to someone who had in fact been a virgin, hit him hard. “F**k!” The curse slipped out before he even realized he had spoken it aloud, his frustration evident as he banged his fist against the headboard. The noise stirred Gina from her sleep. As her eyes fluttered open, clarity returned, and with it, the memory of what had happened. Panic surged through her, and she instinctively prepared to scream. But before she could, Martin moved quickly, pinning her to the bed and covering her mouth. “Don’t scream,”

    Gina walked into Martin’s apartment as if she owned the place, her confidence filling the space before her footsteps even did. The sheer audacity of it nearly made Martin lose it. He followed her in, irritation tightening his jaw. “What do you think you’re doing?” he demanded, his voice low and edged with disbelief. “Well,” she said matter-of-factly, glancing around, “Since you’re a confirmed bachelor with no girlfriend to scandalize, I figure it’s safe for me to be here,” She snatched his briefcase from his hand like it was her personal trophy and bounding up the stairs with the energy of a caffeinated squirrel, one would think she’d lived there all her life. Martin blinked, stunned. “It’s not safe! It’s not fine either! Get out!” he barked, his pride clinging to the last shreds of control. Gina paused halfway up the stairs, tossing a glance over her shoulder, her eyes dancing with mischief. “Nope, I’m here to help, whether you like it or not,” she declared, undeterred. She paus

  • Birthed For Me (From Guardian to Groom)    Chapter 55: A Toast to Trouble

    Maurice sat in the center of the lavish restaurant, his presence commanding the room like a king on his throne. The soft glow of crystal chandeliers reflected in his eyes, which were sharp and calculating as he conversed with the men around him. His voice, smooth yet authoritative, cut through the ambient murmurs, leaving no room for doubt or hesitation. Seated beside him, Martin dutifully took notes, his hand moving quickly across the pages of a large leather-bound file. The contrast between the two men was stark, Maurice, with his aura of dominance, and Martin, the diligent scribe, absorbing every detail of the meeting. Around the table sat four elderly gentlemen, seasoned veterans of the business world, and three younger men, eager but clearly outmatched by Maurice's presence. As the discussion reached its climax, a deal was struck, sealing their partnership with a mutual sense of satisfaction. Smiles crept onto the faces of the older men, pleased with the outcome. One

    Maurice and Mia conversing... He doesn’t have a girlfriend,” Maurice said, his tone softening, sincerity replacing the teasing edge from earlier. “You know how he is, married to his work, always chasing deadlines and perfection. I’ve tried to get him to loosen up, but he’d rather drown in spreadsheets than go on a date. As for his address and number, I’ll text them to you later. Easy fix.” Mia hesitated, glancing toward the door where Martin had just made his dramatic exit. His steps had been sharp, almost angry. “But… Maurice, I don’t know. I... I am not sure he wants you to do that, “I mean, he does looked pissed. Like, really not okay with it.” she murmured, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. Maurice chuckled quietly, slipping his arm around her shoulders. “Oh, don’t worry about him. He’ll get over it, and maybe even thank me someday. After all, he made me go through worse when I was trying to win you over. You know as the saying goes payback’s a dish best served

    That single word was a death sentence. I stood rooted to the spot as I stared at her. My tongue felt like a dry stone in my mouth. Just four quiet syllables, yet they were enough to tilt my entire world off its axis, sending everything I knew into a freefall. I watched Tom’s reaction, it was ins
