Phoebe’s POV

“Phoebe, my daughter, please wake up!”

“My sweet child, who did this to you?”

“Oh my goodness! Just look at my poor child.”

I could hear faint voices around me, but they sounded distant, like I was underwater. Everything around me was pitch black, and I couldn't make out anything as I stared into the empty, dark space.

Trying to open my eyes, I felt like something heavy was weighing them down, making it impossible for me to see. I kept trying, hoping to leave the void and dark space.

When I finally managed to open my eyes, a bright light hit my face, and I winced, squinting against it.

Why was it so bright?

The light was too harsh, and it hurt to keep my eyes open, but I slowly forced myself to adjust.

In the midst of the confusion, I heard a familiar voice—it sounded like my mother's, or so I thought. It was soft and distant at first, then clearer as my vision slowly returned.

    Antonio’s POVStanding by the doorway, I stared at Phoebe, wondering what exactly she was up to. Her eyes were locked on mine. She looked so calm that I couldn't decipher what was going on in her mind.The silence between us stretched on, thick and tense, but neither of us spoke. I was waiting for her to say something—anything—that would break this atmosphere.Finally, she did."Was it you?" she asked softly. "Were you the one who brought me to the hospital?"I kept my eyes fixed on her, trying to gauge her expression. Slowly, I nodded. "Yes."Phoebe’s lips curled into a faint smile, and she muttered, "Thank you."Thank you? Did she just say ‘thank you’ to me?That was when I knew something was really off. This wasn’t the reaction I had expected. I had expected her to yell, to tell her family I was responsible for the accident. Hell, I wouldn’t have been surprised if she cursed me out right there in front of eve

    Andrew's POVI sat across from James in my office, trying to keep my impatience in check as he filled me in on his latest findings. My fingers tapped on the desk while I waited for him to get to the part I actually cared about—the culprit behind the death of the nurse who had attended to Sheila’s mother.“We were so close to catching him,” James continued. “But the guy’s smart. As soon as he noticed we were onto him, he went into hiding.”I felt a flare of frustration but tried to maintain my composure, not wanting to lash out at James. “So, he’s still out there? If he's smart, you should be smarter, James.”James gave a reassuring nod. “Don’t worry, Andrew. Sooner or later, he’ll make a mistake, and when he does, we’ll have him.”I wanted to ask why we had to wait for the culprit to make a mistake. What if he didn’t?But just then, James leaned forward and slid a tablet across the table, tapping on the screen. “Here. This is som

    Sheila’s POVI sat on the edge of the bed, still stunned by what I had just overheard on the phone right now.“Andrew, Evelyn’s inside,” I heard a male voice say.Which Evelyn? The Evelyn? But Evelyn was dead. I tried calling Andrew back immediately, but his phone was off. I sat there, staring at the screen for a long time, confused.Maybe I didn’t hear it right, or maybe it was a different Evelyn. Yeah, that must be it. It had to be. After all, different people could bear the same name.I shook my head, trying to clear the thought, and finally waved it off. It was late, and I needed to sleep. I had called Andrew, due to Mom's persuasion, to know if he would be coming back for dinner, but I highly doubted he would be coming back tonight.With that, I turned off my bedside lamp and slipped under the covers to sleep.The next morning, I woke up feeling refreshed. After washing my face and mouth, I headed downstairs to grab

    Stevenson’s POVI stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my collar as I hummed my favorite song. It had been years since I’d felt like this—excited, almost like a young man preparing for a date.As I smoothed my jacket, I reached for the small velvet box on my dresser. Inside was Mia’s necklace, a piece of jewelry I had kept hidden for years. I thumbed over the intricately crafted pendant, wondering why I had held onto it all this time. It was as if I couldn’t let go of her completely, no matter how much time had passed. The ringing of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts. I picked it up, seeing Shepherd’s name flash on the screen.“Hey, man. Wanna hang out tonight?” Shepherd’s casual voice rang out.“Sorry, Shepherd. I’ve got plans,” I replied, glancing at the clock. “Can’t make it.”“Plans? You? Since when do you have plans that aren’t about work or whiskey? Well, more of whiskey now,” Shepherd laughed, but I coul

Maybe, after all this time, we could still salvage what was left of this broken marriage.But then, I overheard him.I had raised my hand to knock when I heard his voice from inside the room. He was on the phone, and his tone was… different. Excited. Eager.“Can’t make it tonight, Shepherd,” he had said. “I’m going out to meet someone… You’ll never guess who. Trust me, you’ll be shocked when I tell you.”His words stopped me in my tracks as different thoughts began to brew in my head.Who was he meeting? And why did he sound so… happy?

I wasn’t sure if she was replaying the confrontation or simply glad to be done with it. I wanted to say something, but I wasn't sure about her mood at the moment. I glanced at her once again and sighed, wondering what she was thinking about. After a few moments of silence, she finally turned to me.“What were you doing there, Sheila?” she asked calmly. “I didn’t expect to see you at the restaurant.”I smiled and shrugged. “I couldn’t let you meet him alone, Mom. I know you told me you could handle him, but... I couldn’t take any chances.”“You were there the whole time?”I nodded, leaning back in my seat. “I disguised myself and stayed a bit far from the table, just observing. I had to make sure things didn’t go south.

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.

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

    Andrew'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

    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

  • Becoming The Billionaire's Fake Wife   A Moment of Surrender

    Sheila's POVI didn’t know where Andrew was taking me, but I could see how furious and upset he was. His mood was dark, and I could feel the weight of his emotions without him saying a word to me. I didn’t even ask. There was something about him that made me want to follow quietly, unsure how I was going to calm him down, and not wanting to make his mood worse. He led me to a secluded part of the plane, a small, well-decorated room that looked almost like a personal cabin. Before I could ask any questions, Andrew shut the door behind us. His eyes, filled with a storm of emotions, met mine for a brief moment before he suddenly pulled me into his arms. I froze, caught off guard by the suddenness of his embrace. He pressed his head against my shoulder, holding me tightly as though trying to find some comfort. We stood there for a few seconds, both unsure of what to do. Hesitantly, I began to pat his back, uncertain of how to respond. “They turned against me! I trusted them so muc

    Andrew’s POV I was trying so hard to understand what I had just heard. Anna, the woman who had served me so faithfully all these years, had been hiding something this massive from me. How could Therese be Anna's daughter? I stared at her, disbelief flooding my veins. I hadn’t known Anna had a child, let alone one who was working in my mansion under false pretenses. “What’s going on, Anna?” I asked, my voice thick with anger and confusion. “How is it possible that your daughter has been working here without my knowledge?” Anna’s face twisted with a mix of guilt and fear, tears welling up in her eyes. She had never been one to break down easily, but this time, it was different. “She’s not really my daughter, Master,” Anna explained shakily, her voice quivering. “She’s my late twin sister’s child… I raised her as my own after my sister passed away. I’ve done everything I could to give her a good life, everything. I sent money whenever I could, supported her when she needed it. I

    Andrew's POV“Double-check everything,” I instructed the housekeeper over the phone. “The villa needs to be ready when we arrive, and I want the staff there briefed. No room for error.” “Yes, Sir. Everything is confirmed,” the voice on the other end said. “Good,” I replied with a nod before hanging up. It had taken a lot of effort to organize this, but I knew it would definitely be worth it. I turned to Alfred. “Are the movement schedules finalized? And the cars we'll be using once we land?” He nodded. “Yes, Master. Everything has been arranged as per your instructions. Everything has been confirmed.” “Excellent,” I replied, leaning slightly against the window frame. I allowed myself a small smile, one of satisfaction. The truth was, I knew Sheila wouldn’t have come willingly if I had asked her outright. She would’ve found an excuse, some way to evade me. That’s why I had to take matters into my own hands. It wasn’t ideal, but it was necessary. Alfred tilted his head, ob
