Bella

I heard Sebastian call my name several times behind me as I walked toward the house.

“Bella, wait a second.”

I refused to acknowledge him.

Instead, I continued walking as though I had not heard a single word he said.

I was not even sure why I was this irritated.

All I knew was that I wanted to get away from that awkward situation as quickly as possible.

Just as I reached the front steps, I felt him grab my wrist.

The unexpected touch forced me to stop walking.

I slowly turned around. Seba

  • The Billionaire’s Rival Contract   Chapter 81: All A Lie

    Bella The pain that flared up in my chest was so intense, I couldn’t even find the words to describe it. It was like a physical blow, a sudden weight that made it hard to draw a single breath.I stared at those photos, and my mind just went blank. I felt stupid. I felt humiliated.I swallowed hard, fighting with everything inside me to keep the tears from falling. I refused to cry in front of him. I refused to let him see how easily he had broken me. But even if I could stop the tears, I couldn’t stop the raw, burning anger bubbling up in my throat.“You are such a hypocrite!” I screamed, my voice cracking under the strain. “A pathetic, lying hypocrite!”Sebastian just stood there, but I didn’t let him speak. I couldn’t.“You have the nerve to follow me, to barge into my meeting, and to act like you have any right to protect me!” I yelled, gesturing wildly. “You wouldn’t even let me breathe! You acted like a jealous husband because I was having a business talk with an investor!”I to

  • The Billionaire’s Rival Contract   Chapter 80: Sucked Out Of

    Sebastian Every time I closed my eyes, I just saw that guy sitting too close to her at the restaurant, looking at her like she was some prize to be won. It made my blood boil.I turned to face her, trying to keep my voice steady, even though my heart was hammering against my ribs.“I don’t feel threatened, Bella,” I claimed, throwing my hands up. I genuinely didn’t understand why she was making me out to be the bad guy here. “Why would you even think that? Seriously, why is that where your mind goes?”Bella just stood there with her arms crossed over her chest, staring at me with this stubborn, angry look in her eyes.“Because you just barged in there, Sebastian! You literally walked into the middle of my meeting like you owned the place!”“I was trying to protect you!” I snapped, my voice rising before I could stop it. I took a step toward her, desperately wishing she would just understand. “Why can’t you see that? Why is it so hard for you to see what was actually happening?”“Prot

  • The Billionaire’s Rival Contract   Chapter 79: Too Personal

    Bella A hug felt far too personal. Especially considering the kind of relationship we shared.We were business partners. Nothing more.There was absolutely no reason for us to become that physically familiar with each other.I offered him a polite smile instead.He forced a small smile.“My apologies. I suppose I became a little too excited to finally see you again.”I simply nodded.Without dwelling on the awkward greeting any longer, I decided to steer the conversation back toward the real reason I believed I had come.“So, what exactly did you want us to discuss regarding the project?”Julian smiled before gesturing toward one of the chairs.“Everything in good time, you have only just arrived. Please sit down first.”Although something about the atmosphere still felt weird, I took my seat across from him.Instead of talking about work, Julian reached for the menu resting on the table.“Before we begin discussing business, tell me what you would like to order. It would be rude of

  • The Billionaire’s Rival Contract   Chapter 78: Suspicions

    BellaThe morning had been unusually busy from the very beginning.Files kept piling onto my desk one after another, emails refused to stop coming in, and several meetings had already been scheduled before noon.I barely had enough time to catch my breath between one task and the next.Just when I was finally beginning to make progress with my workload, a gentle knock sounded on my office door.“Come in,” I said without looking up from the documents spread across my desk.A staff member walked into the office, carrying several beautifully wrapped packages in both hands.“Ma’am, these were delivered for you just now,” the staff member said politely before placing everything neatly on my desk.I stared at the colorful collection of gift boxes with visible confusion.There were several different packages.Some were wrapped in elegant paper.Others came inside luxurious gift bags decorated with expensive ribbons.There was even a bouquet of fresh flowers resting beside the other gifts.I

  • The Billionaire’s Rival Contract   Chapter 77: No More

    Sebastian Everything started getting worse within only a few minutes.The strange dizziness that had been bothering me suddenly intensified until I could barely think straight anymore.My heartbeat became unusually fast, while an unbearable wave of heat spread through every part of my body.I rubbed my forehead several times, hoping the uncomfortable feeling would disappear on its own, but it only continued growing stronger with every passing second.I swallowed hard before looking toward Claire.“Claire… something is really wrong. I feel really strange, and I do not know what is happening to me.”The moment she heard my voice, panic spread across her face.She hurried toward me with hurried footsteps, looking alarmed by my condition.“Sebastian, you do not look well at all, I think we need to get you elswhwre.”I tried standing on my own, but my legs felt unbelievably heavy beneath me. The room continued spinning around me, making it almost impossible to maintain my balance.Before

  • The Billionaire’s Rival Contract   Chapter 76: Wave of Dizziness

    Sebastian Long after Bella and I left the terrace, my mind refused to calm down.The conversation I had with Claire earlier that evening replayed over and over inside my head.Every single word she had spoken.Every single answer I had given.Especially the moment I bluntly told her that I did not love her.That conversation had forced me to confront something I had spent weeks trying to ignore.If I truly did not love Claire…Then why had it become so easy to reject the possibility of ever being with her?Why had I felt absolutely nothing while saying those painful words?More importantly, if my heart no longer belonged to the person I once believed I cared about. Then who exactly had taken that place?The answer appeared almost instantly.Bella.There was only one woman who occupied my thoughts every single day.Only one woman whose smile somehow managed to improve my mood without even trying. Only one woman whose opinions had begun influencing my decisions without me realizing it

  • The Billionaire’s Rival Contract   Chapter One: Why must you hurt me over and over again?

    BellaGritting my teeth through the ache, I pushed myself forward, one slow step after another, my knees wobbling beneath me as I forced them not to give out.And then I saw my husband’s car and well, I couldn’t help it. My face lit up and just like that, all of it got a little lighter. I even quic

  • The Billionaire’s Rival Contract   Chapter Five: Giving up on him at last

    Bella I woke up slowly.The harsh fluorescent lights above me stabbed into my eyes the moment my eyelids fluttered open.Pain greeted me before awareness did.A dull ache pulsed through my entire body, but it was nothing compared to the pain in my abdomen. Every tiny movement seemed to pull at som

    Bella I followed behind them quietly, though my steps gradually slowed.By the time I reached the guest room, Damien had already helped Anna onto the bed.He lowered her carefully, one arm supporting her back while the other remained around her waist. Even after she was seated comfortably, he didn

  • The Billionaire’s Rival Contract   Chapter Two: It wasn’t for me

    Bella Wasn’t that bracelet meant for me?The thought struck hard, cutting through the lingering haze in my mind.When they finally noticed my presence, introductions were made with little fanfare. Anna greeted me warmly enough and soon afterwards everyone moved towards the dining room for dinner.
