《The Billionaire Instant Twins》全部章節：第 211 章 - 第 220 章

Xavier walked through the mansion’s hallway, his mind a storm of conflicting emotions. The weight of the events from the previous night still pressed down on him, suffocating him with their intensity. The kiss, the closeness, the unspoken promises that lingered between him and Bella—it was all too much to process.He wasn’t ready to face Bella, not yet. He couldn’t face Zane and Alana either, not with everything that had happened. They’d witnessed the soft moments between him and Bella, and though Xavier had never been one to avoid responsibility, this felt different. The realization of what he was possibly choosing, what he was possibly about to lose, was gnawing at him.As he moved through the house, he heard Zane and Alana’s voices coming from the breakfast nook. They were laughing, their voices high with the energy of children starting their day. Bella’s laughter echoed in response, and it tugged at Xavier’s heart. His heart ached with a bittersweet longing, yet there was somethin

It had been a week since Thomas's death, and the mansion felt emptier than ever. The air was thick with grief, but there was something else—something Xavier couldn’t shake off. The loss of his father had left him in turmoil, and it seemed like he couldn’t find peace in his own mind. He had spent the days locked away in his thoughts, questioning everything, trying to understand why he had never been able to love his father the way he should have.That morning, Xavier had woken up to an unspoken heaviness. He still hadn’t figured it out, and he wasn’t sure when he would. He had thought that once Thomas was gone, things would clear up, but now that he was gone, all the emotions had resurfaced—the anger, the regret, the longing for something he never got.As Xavier sat in the study, the door creaked open, and Ember walked in. She was dressed in a tailored suit, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor as she moved toward him. She was as beautiful and composed as ever, but today

Xavier sat at the edge of his bed, the room dimly lit by the fading afternoon light. He had been spiraling for days now—caught in a tug-of-war between duty and desire, between family expectations and the life he truly wanted. Ember's presence, her insistent demands, had made everything worse. But it wasn't just Ember that consumed his thoughts. It was Bella.The way she had walked out of his life, her tear-filled eyes haunting him, had left a gaping hole in his heart. And now, Zane and Alana's distress only compounded the ache. He wanted her back, but the guilt of his commitment to Ember gnawed at him relentlessly.There was a knock on his door. He didn’t need to guess who it was."Come in," he muttered, his voice tinged with weariness.The door creaked open, and Calla entered. She closed the door behind her and stood still for a moment, her eyes studying him. "Xavier," she began softly, "I need to know something."He didn’t look up at her, but he already knew where this conversation

The house felt like a hollow shell without her.Xavier’s footsteps echoed through the empty halls as he made his way into the living room. The sharp sound of his shoes clicking against the polished marble floor only served to deepen the silence that had settled over the mansion since Bella left. He had been trying to keep himself busy, trying to focus on anything other than the aching void left by her departure, but it was impossible.Everything around him reminded him of her. The warmth she brought to the house, her laughter, the way she had taken care of Zane and Alana with such tenderness—it all felt so far away now.He sighed heavily, dragging a hand down his face. But it wasn’t just the house that felt empty. It was his heart. He had tried to ignore it, tried to bury it under layers of responsibility and guilt, but the truth was undeniable. He missed Bella—more than he cared to admit.As he entered the kitchen, he found Zane sitting at the table, looking distracted, his eyes vaca

The sterile smell of the hospital room mixed with the dull hum of machines, creating an atmosphere that felt too suffocating for Bella to bear. She lay on the hospital bed, a drip running through the vein in her hand, her body still weak from the sudden collapse earlier. Her eyelids fluttered open, and her vision was blurry for a moment before it cleared. As she took in her surroundings, the reality of her situation hit her like a ton of bricks.She left Xavier's home, because he couldn't defend her. She thought that after the night of intimacy something had changed and she had gained some importance in Xavier's life. But the way Ember insulted her and Xavier remained silent, it made her realize she was wrong. She had no place and value in Xavier's life. So she left his house to safeguard her dignity. But even after leaving that place, she couldn't get peace. As Jacob didn't let her do so. He kept on pinching her ego and self respect so badly that her body and mind couldn't bear it an
