Chapter: Falling ApartDavid parked his car in front of the house and quickly stepped out with Henry. The boy held his hand tightly, slightly confused by his father’s urgency.David didn’t have time to explain; he simply led Henry up the steps and into the mansion. The butler opened the door before they could knock, looking pale and anxious."Where is he?" David asked."Upstairs, sir. The doctor is already with him."David rushed up the stairs, with Henry following close behind. When he stepped into Grandpa’s room, he saw the doctor seated at the edge of the bed, gently checking Grandpa’s pulse."Doctor, how is he?" David asked, walking forward.The doctor turned to him with a calm nod. "He’s doing much better now. His pulse is stable. He overexerted himself, but I’ve given him something to calm him down. He’s resting."David let out a long sigh of relief and looked over at the old man lying asleep, his chest rising and falling gently. He walked to the side of the bed, placed his hand on Grandpa’s arm, and

Chapter: Paternity test David parked his car in front of Allison’s house and stepped out. As he approached the front door, it opened, and a familiar little face popped out.“Daddy!” Henry smiled, running towards him.David forced a smile. He bent down and gently rubbed the boy’s head. “How are you, champ?”“I’m good!” Henry giggled, grabbing David’s hand. “Come in, come in!”David followed him inside, and asked. “Where’s your mom?”Henry shrugged. “She’s not home. She went out. I’m with Nanny Sarah.”Right on cue, Sarah—Henry's old nanny—stepped out from the hallway, wiping her hands with a towel. “Good afternoon, Mr. David,” she greeted politely.David nodded. “Good afternoon, Sarah.” His tone was flat, his mind too distracted. “Get Henry ready. I’m taking him somewhere.”Sarah blinked in surprise. “Oh… alright. I’ll get him dressed.”As Sarah guided Henry toward his room, David stepped aside, pulling out his phone. His fingers hovered for a moment before he dialed a number he hadn’t called in a long time.

Chapter: Whispers of Doubt
The park was filled with birds chirping in the distance, children playing, and families walking around. But Emma barely noticed the beauty around her. Instead, her attention was on the two tall, hefty men walking a few steps behind her.She rolled her eyes for what felt like the hundredth time today. The sight of those guards—strong, serious, and built like mountains—just made her sigh deeply.This was getting ridiculous.At first, it was Christian and David always clashing over her safety—arguing, fighting, always trying to outdo each other. Now? Now they had somehow managed to put their differences aside, but only to gang up and force two full-time guards on her.Two! Not one. TWO.Emma glanced back at the men, who stood straight like statues but never let their eyes wander far from her.“What’s the point of all this?” she muttered under her breath.She had even thought about complaining to either David or Christian… but how could she when both were now working together? Suddenly,

Chapter: Tension Next DoorA few moments earlier...David stood by the door, his hands clenched tightly at his sides, as he stared at Emma. He had just finished dressing, keys already in hand, ready to head out and pick up Claire from her grandfather’s house. But then Emma had dropped the news — Christian already went to get her.“Why would you let him go there?” he muttered under his breath, pacing back and forth. How could Emma allow Christian anywhere near his grandfather's house? What was she thinking? David wasn’t just upset — he was furious.Emma had tried to calm him, saying it wasn’t a big deal. But to David, it was a big deal. His fists balled again. He didn’t want to argue too much with Emma — not when she was still recovering and using a walking aid — but none of this sat right with him. Not one bit.Before he could say more, they came back. Christian was holding Claire’s hand, with Sophie walking behind them. And Christian had the guts to show off the most annoying grin, like someone who knew exa

Chapter: Picking Claire Up
Christian sat behind the wheel, driving quietly while Sophie sat next to him, her eyes glued to her phone. Her fingers moved quickly as she texted Gavin, but every now and then, her gaze shifted toward Christian. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t figure him out. What was he really up to? Why would he suddenly decide to go pick up Claire from David's grandpa's house? And most importantly, why would Emma even agree to this?Sophie sighed quietly, shaking her head. Emma knew very well that David would not be pleased about this—not even one bit. She knew Emma well enough to tell when she was uncomfortable about something. It was written all over her voice when she suggested that Sophie go with Christian. But instead of saying no, she agreed. Why?Probably just to avoid sounding biased or unfair toward Christian."If you're going to glare at me the whole ride, you might as well just say what's on your mind Sophie," Christian suddenly broke the silence, not taking his eyes off

Chapter: Silent RivalsAfter Emma slammed the door right at their faces, the tension between David and Christian didn’t ease. They stood there, locked in a glare, neither willing to be the first to look away.Neither of them said a word for several long seconds. Finally, David broke the silence.“Look,” he started. “I get it. You want to protect her. I do too. But this—” he gestured to the closed door, “—this isn’t helping. Fighting like this will only push Emma further away.”“Then maybe you should back off,” Christian said coldly. “Step aside so things can go back to normal. I'm capable of handling things here.”David raised an eyebrow, folding his arms. “Normal? And what does ‘normal’ mean to you, Christian? You being the only one by her side while I disappear? Is that what you think?”Christian’s eyes darkened. “Yes. I mean If you weren’t planning to stir up trouble, then why the hell did you rent an apartment in this building? Don’t give me that same

Becoming The Billionaire's Fake Wife
“All this time, I was just a mere substitute to you? A replacement for someone you lost?”
“It’s not that simple, Sheila. I—”
“Don’t! I trusted you. Every embrace, every word, the heartfelt feelings—it was all for her, wasn’t it? Did you ever love me, Andrew? Did you ever feel something for me? Tell me!”
“Sheila, I……Sorry……”
*********************
Sheila found out her boyfriend cheated on her and then lost her . Just when she thought things couldn't get worse, she realizes how naive she still was. Her father and stepmother, her so-called family, forced her to marry a stranger, and treated her like a bargain item at a mall sale.
On the other hand, Andrew's father tried to pressure him into an engagement by threatening his inheritance. Andrew felt a sense of powerlessness as well as amusement, as he didn't care about the inheritance; he had already made a name for himself as a successful and feared business magnate.
But when he saw Sheila's smiling face, Andrew's blood froze for a moment, and his eyes were filled with shock, doubt, nostalgia, and a hint of tenderness that he hadn't even noticed. He thought that maybe this was a chance given to him by fate, and this time he had to grab it no matter what, but he didn't know how the decision he made at this moment would change his life.

Chapter: A New BeginningPhoebe’s POVThe men’s taunts and shoves suddenly stopped, replaced by an angry shout. "Turn off those damn bright lights!" one of them yelled.The harsh, blinding beam of a car’s headlights cut through the alley like a spotlight, and I had to squint against the glare. The three men cursed, stumbling back, clearly irritated."Hey, you! Get out of here with that light!" one of them yelled. I didn’t waste a second. With all the desperation I felt in my chest, I screamed, "Help! Please, help me!"The car’s headlights were so bright, I couldn’t see the driver at all—just the silhouette of someone sitting behind the wheel. The men looked at each other, muttering curses before taking a few steps back, clearly annoyed but not ready to give up.I could barely breathe in the tense silence, but I was just so relieved that they were backing off. It was a small victory, but it was enough to make me feel a flicker of hope. I had to get away—get to safety before they changed their minds.Then the c

Chapter: Help had arrivedPhoebe’s POV Carla’s face burned with rage as she stormed toward Rachel, grabbing her by the hair and yanking hard. “You think I wouldn’t find out? You’ve been sneaking around with my husband!” Rachel yelped, struggling to free herself. “You’re crazy! Let go of me, Carla! What the hell is wrong with you?!” The chaos erupted as other staff members tried to intervene. One of them, Lily, Rachael's best friend, stepped forward and slapped Carla hard across the face. “Enough, Carla! Stop acting like this is Rachel’s fault! Your husband doesn’t even love you—he’s only sticking around for the kids!” Carla froze for a moment, her face contorting with fury. “How dare you say that to me? He told you that crap? So, you've also been sleeping with my husband?!” she hissed before lunging at Lily. The room descended into utter chaos as Carla clawed at Rachel and then turned on Lily, who shoved her back. “Get off me, you fat pig!” Rachel shouted, pushing Carla away. The staff scrambled t

Chapter: Grab Some Popcorn Phoebe’s POVI had barely taken a few steps when I slipped on the spilled water on the floor, losing my balance and crashing to the ground. The crash of the glass milkshake I was holding hitting the floor echoed like thunder. I stood frozen, staring at the mess. The thick, sticky liquid spread across the floor, and I could feel my heart sink.Who the hell had spilled water here?!“Phoebe!” My boss’s sharp voice cut through the air like a knife. He was fuming, his face red with frustration. “What the hell is wrong with you? How many times do I have to tell you to be careful?”I opened my mouth to apologize, but he was already shaking his head in disgust.“Get the mop and clean this up, now! I don't want to hear any of your silly excuses,” He ordered. His tone was harsher than usual, and I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks.These past weeks had been nothing short of a nightmare. It felt like trouble followed me wherever I went. Just last week, I was blamed for serving a customer t

Chapter: Family's BlessingSheila's POVI was in my room with Mom, carefully organizing the clothes Granny had recently bought for me. There were so many that I wondered when I would have the chance to wear them all. I kept telling her I had enough, but my sweet Granny wouldn't hear of it. "Sheila," Mom began, her voice gentle yet curious, "I've noticed Andrew dropping you off quite often lately. Are you two back together?" A warm blush immediately crept up my cheeks. I paused, folding a shirt, and then replied, "We're just taking things slowly, Mom. One step at a time." She looked at me with a knowing smile, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "I see," she said, her tone teasing. "Well, if you're really sure about giving Andrew another chance, then I give you my blessings." I felt a surge of happiness and gratitude. I walked over to her, enveloping her in a tight hug. "Thank you, Mom. You've always stood by me, and I can't express how much that means to me." She pulled back slightly, holding my hands i

Chapter: The Fight Had Just BegunAndrew's POVA few weeks had passed since the chaos surrounding Therese and everything else had settled. Alfred was back to work after being suspended for weeks without pay, and things with Sheila had been going progressively smoothly. I had been buried in work, the weight of the business constantly hanging over my head. As I sat in my office, typing away on my laptop, a sharp knock on the door interrupted my concentration. Before I could respond, the door swung open, and my parents entered. My secretary rushed in after them, looking flustered. It was obvious she had tried to stop them, but they were having none of it. "Andrew," my father called out, his tone already tinged with annoyance. My mother followed behind him, her expression unreadable but no less intense. My secretary stepped into my office and began to explain. "I... I apologize, Mr. Walker. They insisted on seeing you immediately," she said nervously. "They refused to wait for me to inform you before they barged i

Chapter: Second Chance Sheila's POVAs the plane touched down in the city, I felt a sense of relief mixed with anxiety. We were finally back, but the weight of everything that had happened still loomed over me. As soon as the plane’s door opened, the cold rush of air hit us, and I could see the flashing lights of police cars waiting on the tarmac. They were already here, prepared for whatever would unfold next. As we began to step off the plane, the sound of raised voices reached us. Turning around, I saw Andrew's guards holding Anna back, their grip firm as she struggled against them. "Please, I just need to talk to her!" Anna cried out desperately, her voice trembling. "I promise I don't mean any harm!"Andrew’s expression darkened as he stepped forward. “Take her away,” he ordered, his tone cold and unyielding. “I don’t want to see her again.” “No! Please, Mistress, just a moment! I need to say something to you,” Anna pleaded, her voice growing louder. Her tear-filled eyes met mine, and the despe
