Bella POV

I said no twice before I said yes, which I think was reasonable given the circumstances.

The first no came the night after the hearing, when Caleb sat across from me in my kitchen and laid out, very calmly, why the penthouse security infrastructure was categorically better than anything available at my house. Perimeter cameras, secure lobby, staff who had been through background checks that would make a government clearance feel casual. Victoria's plea deal was progressing but hadn't

  • The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride    Chapter 271: Legal Defeat

    Bella pov The courtroom was dead silent after the judge’s gavel banged down for the final time.It took exactly three weeks of merciless legal warfare, but the truth did not just surface—it crushed her. Our legal team had dismantled Nadina Volkova's lies piece by piece. The massive breakthrough came when our investigators uncovered the encrypted text logs and bank transfers proving Nadina wasn't working alone. She was working hand in hand with Rafe DuBois—one of Caleb’s inner circle executives at Black Enterprises.Rafe had fed her the internal logistics, the guest lists, and the private schedules, and she had used them to spin her web. Today, both of them were completely exposed.The simultaneous click of two pairs of steel handcuffs was the most satisfying sound I had heard in years.Two bailiffs grabbed Nadina by her arms, while two more secured Rafe DuBois right beside her at the defense table. Her expensive silk blouse was wrinkled, her ice-blonde hair messy, and the smug, polis

  • The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride    Chapter 270: Nadina Move

    Bella POVI stood by the kitchen island, holding Victor against my shoulder. The morning sunlight filtered through the large windows, warming the hardwood floor. I patted Victor’s back gently, listening to his soft, rhythmic breathing as he started to drift off to sleep.The sharp, hurried click of high heels echoed down the hallway.I turned my head. Lena stood in the kitchen doorway. She was holding her tablet tight against her chest. Her face was completely pale, her lips pressed into a thin, bloodless line. Lena never lost her composure, but right now, her hands were visibly shaking."Bella," Lena said, her voice tight and strained. "You need to see this. Right now."I frowned, shifting Victor slightly in my arms. "What is it, Lena? Is it the Marchetti Group?""No," Lena said, stepping forward. She tapped the screen of her tablet and set it down on the marble island. "It’s Nadina Volkova. She just went live on a major news outlet. It’s broadcasting everywhere."I leaned over the c

  • The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride    Chapter 269: The Anniversary

    Caleb POVI paced the quiet length of the kitchen, staring at my phone. My usual instinct for an anniversary was to call a jeweler, find the most expensive thing in the catalog, and let the gold do the talking. But Bella didn't want grand gestures anymore, she wanted my presence.I picked up the phone and dialed Diana."Caleb?" Diana answered, her voice loud over some background music. "Is everything okay?""Everything is fine," I said, leaning against the counter. "I need a favor. Tonight is our second anniversary. I want to clear the house so Bella and I can have some time alone. Can you and Maya take Tom and Grace for the night?""Of course we can," Diana said, her tone instantly softening. "We'd love to have them. Maya has been begging to take Grace to the park anyway, and Tom can help me organize my paints. Drop them off whenever you're ready.""Thanks, Diana. I owe you one."I hung up and turned around to find Nadia, our live-in nanny, carrying a basket of folded laundry into th

  • The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride    Chapter 268: Dinner Time

    Bella POV"No, he is not," Olivier said, his voice quiet but firm. He turned his head to look at Tom, his stiff demeanor softening completely. "Why is it underrated?"I shut my mouth, a small, surprised smile tugging at my lips as I sat back in my chair.Tom’s eyes went wide, thrilled to have a captive audience. "Because it has armor plates all over its body, and a giant club on its tail. If a T-Rex tries to bite it, the Ankylosaurus just swings its tail and breaks the T-Rex's leg. It doesn't even have to run away!""And the armor is thick enough to stop a bite?" Olivier asked."Yes," Tom said, gesturing wildly with his hands. "It's like a tank. A real living tank."Olivier actually listened. He didn't look bored, and he asked two more questions about the dinosaur's habitat while cutting his food. Under the table, Caleb’s foot gently brushed against mine."Alright, Tom," I said, standing up and tapping his shoulder once he had finished his dinner. "It is way past your bedtime. Time to

  • The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride    Chapter 267: The Visit

    Bella POVI was sitting on the living room floor, folding a small stack of Victor’s clean onesies. Beside me on the floor, Tom was lining up his plastic dinosaurs in a neat, straight row. He held up a gray one with spikes on its back, waving it close to my face."The stegosaurus is the best one, Mom," Tom said, his eyes bright. "People think the T-Rex is the coolest, but they are wrong. The stegosaurus has a giant weapon on its tail. It can swing like a giant club.""A club?" I asked, smiling down at him. "Is that so?""Yes," Tom said, nodding with absolute gravity. "It's very dangerous. It could easily win a fight."Before I could answer, a loud, firm knock echoed through the front door.Tom froze, his dinosaur suspended in mid-air. He looked up at me, his expression turning polite and quiet. "Is that Uncle Olivier, Mom?""I think it is," I said, offering him a reassuring smile.I carefully stood up from the floor. Tom scrambled to his feet right after me, dusting off his dinosaur pa

  • The Billionaire’s Discarded Bride    Chapter 266: Sebastien's Response

    Bella POVIt was a Thursday evening, days after the press conference. I was sitting on the living room floor with Victor resting on my chest. Tom sat right beside me on the rug, waving a plastic dinosaur in the air as he explained why the stegosaurus was completely underrated. Upstairs, Grace was already asleep, tucked into her bed."The spikes on the tail are called a thagomizer, Mom," Tom said, pointing a tiny finger at the toy. "They are for smacking the T-Rex. Hard.""That sounds like a very good defense," I said, smoothing his hair down.Caleb sat on the sofa nearby, watching us with a quiet smile.Suddenly, my phone vibrated on the floor. The screen lit up, showing my father's name. I looked up and caught Caleb's eye. Without a word, I carefully lifted Victor and handed him over. Caleb reached out, his large hands supporting the baby's head, and pulled him close to his chest. I picked up the phone, stood up, and walked straight into the kitchen, pulling the door half-closed b

    Caleb POVThree cracked ribs and a laceration requiring eight stitches — that was what the doctor told me, and Bella had opened her eyes just long enough to tell the nurse she didn't need that much fuss before the sedative pulled her back under. They let me stay with her after. I dragged a chair t

Maya was already in the kitchen making coffee when I emerged, and she took one look at my face before sliding a mug across the counter."You look like hell," she said bluntly."I feel worse."
