Laura shuddered violently as the breath drawing near sent chills down her spine. She instantly lowered her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes. Panic surged through her, and she frantically shook her head, her body twisting desperately as she tried to retreat.

But before she could escape, Gavin's hand clamped down on her flailing leg, capturing her like a hunter seizing his prey. Any chance of breaking free vanished in an instant.

She turned her gaze away, her eyes darting elsewhere in terror. Even catching a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye made her heart pound with fear—she couldn't bear to look at him directly.

Gavin's cold gaze bore down on Laura's pale lips, his eyes as frigid as ice, capable of freezing the entire world.

"Slut." His voice was hoarse with fury. "You've only been gone a few days, and you're already spreading your legs for another man?"

Rage churned inside him. She had really left him. She had really gone to another man's bed. The thought gnawed at his pride

I am confused. I thought Laura left few months ago, precisely when Gavin brought bleeding Phoebe home from the hospital. This Laura thing is really strange. He wasn’t caring when she was away, even with another man. But once she is in sight, he goes ballistic.

    In the DA Corporation's conference room, the atmosphere was as tense as the moments before a storm.After months of being elusive, Alexander had finally made an appearance.At this moment, the company's top executives were all gathered. The directors and shareholders sat around the long conference table, their expressions varying. Among them was the representative of the mysterious company that had successfully acquired DA Corporation. He surveyed the room with a smug sense of satisfaction."Sir, the paperwork for the company's handover has been prepared. We kindly ask for your signature here." A staff member stepped forward respectfully, presenting the documents and a pen to Alexander.Alexander's gaze swept over the documents, and without a trace of hesitation, he swiftly signed his name. His expression remained calm.Letting go of DA Corporation was nothing more than a minor step in his grand scheme. To him, this was merely another move on the chessboard. More importantly, there we

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   It's Really Laura

    At four in the afternoon, Phoebe stepped out of her home, planning to make a quick trip to the supermarket to pick up ingredients for dinner.Her steps were light as she walked along the familiar street, but just as she lifted her gaze, her movements suddenly froze.Not far ahead, Gavin stood elegantly, leaning against his car door like a living masterpiece. The golden sunlight cast a soft glow on him, outlining his sharp features and adding to his naturally distinguished aura. His eyes were fixed solely on her, as if everything else around them had faded into insignificance.Phoebe's heart clenched, and for a few moments, her mind went completely blank. She quickly regained her composure and instinctively lowered her gaze.For the past few weeks, every time Gavin had tried to reach her, she had come up with excuses to avoid meeting him. When her phone rang, she ignored it. When text messages arrived, she never replied.Now, she ducked her head and pretended not to see him, turning sw

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   I Was Wrong

    Gavin seemed to sense Phoebe's confusion. He frowned slightly, his cold gaze sweeping briefly over Laura before softening as he turned to Phoebe. In a calm, measured tone, he said, "Phoebe, she was away during that time because she had some issues with her voice. I sent her abroad for treatment. I didn't tell you beforehand because I didn't want you to worry unnecessarily." Hearing his explanation, Phoebe suddenly understood. The doubt in her heart dissipated, but at the same time, a strong sense of guilt welled up inside her. Her eyes reddened slightly as she spoke with deep remorse, "I'm sorry, Gavin. I misunderstood you. How is Laura now? Has she recovered?" She looked at Laura with genuine concern in her eyes. "Not completely. Her condition is quite complicated and will take some time to heal," Gavin explained patiently. "Is it difficult to treat?" Phoebe frowned. "It can be cured, so don't worry too much. She just can't speak for now." Gavin reached out and patted Phoebe'

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   Ruined Mood

    For the past few days, everything had been calm—life was uneventful, until today, when Phoebe's phone rang. It was Gavin. He was calling to tell her that he would be taking her to France this Friday to visit the children. The news instantly ignited Phoebe's joy, and she spent the entire morning immersed in uncontrollable excitement. She carefully selected her outfit, grabbed her bag, and hurried out, heading straight to the shopping mall. From noon until the afternoon, she wandered through various stores, buying several adorable outfits for the children and picking out a few delicate little toys. She knew full well that Gavin had already filled an entire room with toys for them—so many that Jeremy and Amy probably couldn't even play with them all. But the moment she laid eyes on these toys, she was completely captivated and couldn't resist buying them. By the time she left the mall, Phoebe was carrying bags upon bags, her arms full. As she walked, images of Jeremy and Amy ap

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   The Man in the Wheelchair

    "Damn it! What the hell are you grabbing me for?!" the man bellowed in pain, his features contorted as he struggled against the crushing grip on his arm. He thrashed desperately, trying to break free, but the strength of the man in the wheelchair was astonishing. His bones felt like they were on the verge of dislocating. "Apologize." Alexander's voice was cold, his presence radiating an intimidating chill. The undeniable authority in his tone made it clear—this was not a request. "What the hell are you talking about?!" the man shouted, his voice tinged with both anger and confusion. He had no idea who this person was and hadn't done anything to provoke him, so why should he apologize? Alexander's grip tightened. The man broke out in a cold sweat as fear crept up his spine. His bravado crumbled in an instant, and his tone softened to one of pleading desperation. "Wait—stop! Please! I don't even know what I did wrong. Could you at least tell me?" "Apologize to the person you j

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   Arrival in France

    Time flew by, and Friday arrived in the blink of an eye. With their flight scheduled for 4 PM, Phoebe woke up early, brimming with excitement as she packed her luggage. The mere thought of finally reuniting with Jeremy and Amy filled her with uncontrollable joy, and the smile on her face never once faded. At precisely eleven o'clock, Gavin arrived to pick her up. They enjoyed a leisurely lunch at a nearby restaurant before heading back to Gavin's place. The plan was to rest for a bit before leaving for the airport at three in the afternoon. However, Phoebe was far from feeling tired. She was in the living room, deep in conversation with Laura, her eyes alight with enthusiasm. Seeing this, Gavin could only shake his head helplessly. Letting them be, he retreated to his study to take care of some unfinished business. Phoebe and Laura lounged comfortably on the sofa, chatting freely. Phoebe had kicked off her shoes a

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   A Warm and Tender Moment

    Before long, they arrived at their destination, and Phoebe made a beeline for the nursery. The soft golden light draped over the two cribs like a delicate veil, casting a warm glow over the sleeping infants. Phoebe tiptoed closer, afraid to disturb them. Bending slightly, she placed gentle kisses on their rosy little cheeks. Then, with the utmost care, she reached out and lightly brushed their tiny hands with her fingertips. Her movements were slow and tender, each touch filled with boundless love and affection. She couldn't take her eyes off them for even a second. As if sensing her presence, Jeremy and Amy suddenly opened their bright, round eyes at the same time. Their clear, innocent gazes studied her curiously, making Phoebe chuckle softly, happiness brimming in her laughter. In her heart, she marveled at how incredibly lucky she was to have these two precious little angels. The babies sucked on

He couldn't stop questioning it over and over in his mind.Back then, Phoebe had denied it so firmly. And now—this? The truth hit him like a thunderbolt, shattering every assumption he had.Alexander forced himself to calm down and read the message again, word by word. A surge of emotions—shock, disbelief, anger, relief—crashed over him in waves.Logic told him Phoebe had no reason to lie. A simple DNA test could prove everything.Her message explained that she had kept the truth from him because she didn't trust him, afraid he would try to take the children from her. Remembering how she had seemed on the verge of saying something, how she had hesitated so many times—he finally understood. She had been trying to tell him all along.His children were alive.In an instant, memories flashed befor

    Inside the room, Alexander spoke with quiet certainty. "The house should be ready in about two weeks."Hermosa immediately shook her head. "Alex, I can't accept it.""Don't treat me like a stranger," Alexander replied firmly, leaving no room for argument."Alex, I..." Hermosa hesitated. The words caught in her throat, too heavy to speak."I've booked a hotel for you to stay in for now," Alexander continued. "Once the house is ready, you can move in."A trace of disappointment flashed in Hermosa's eyes. Secretly, she had hoped he would ask her to stay here with him."Alex, once I find a job, I'll pay you back," she said, biting her lip, a stubborn look on her face."Come work at LD," Alexander suddenly offered, his tone leaving no room for refusal."LD?" Hermosa looked at him in surprise, her eyes wide with confusion."Yes, my company," Alexander confirmed with a nod."But I thought you worked at DA Group?" she asked, unable to hide her disbelief."It's been merged with another corpora

    Alexander didn't even have time to think before Hermosa's voice rang out again."Alex, are you busy? If so, I'll head out. I don't want to interrupt."As Hermosa turned to leave, Alexander quickly called after her."Where are you going?""I… I…" Hermosa stammered. She hadn't had anywhere else to go—that's why she'd come to him. But seeing the two of them together now, she felt it wasn't her place to stay.Alexander didn't need her to answer. He could already guess. She was all alone now—where else could she go? Stepping aside, his tone turned cold and distant as he looked at Phoebe."Do you have anything else to say?"That frigid tone made Phoebe's heart clench. She looked up at him but said nothing.Alexander's eyes were deep and unreadable. Since she wouldn't speak, he didn't want to hear anything more about her children."Then go home."Phoebe felt a sharp pain in her chest at those cold words. So she really wasn't welcome here? Was he telling her to leave?"Alex, it's okay. I didn

    Alexander had spent the past two days at the villa with the children. He had never thought of himself as a particularly patient man, yet to his own surprise, he found himself unusually calm and gentle with them.He had been worried he might be too clumsy to take proper care of the kids, but everything had gone smoothly.The children were growing more and more attached to him, relying on him in a way that filled his heart with warmth. The feeling of being trusted and needed stirred something deep inside him.For a moment, he could almost believe he really was their father. That strange, comforting thought took him by surprise.That evening, just as Alexander was getting ready to take the children out for dinner, the doorbell rang. The children noticed it before he did."Daddy, someone's outside," Jeremy said. In the past two days, he had grown used to calling Alexander "Daddy"—so much so that he couldn't go back to calling him "Uncle.""Daddy, I heard it too!" Amy chimed in.Alexander

    The gates of the villa slowly opened as the two children stepped inside, their eyes widening at the spacious living room. A crystal chandelier cast a warm glow from the ceiling, while the marble floor reflected their tiny silhouettes."Uncle, your house is huge!" Amy looked up, her eyes sparkling.Alexander bent down and lifted both children onto the sofa. Amy suddenly frowned. "Uncle, living in such a big house alone must be really lonely."His movements paused. That wave of loneliness from the five lost years of memory suddenly surged in."We'll come visit you often from now on!" Jeremy said earnestly, unconsciously reaching up to touch his still-swollen cheek.Alexander noticed and quickly went upstairs to get the first aid kit. He gently placed Jeremy on his lap and carefully applied the ointment."Does it hurt?"Jeremy shook his head, staring intently at the gentle man in front of him. Amy sat quietly by the side, then suddenly said, "Uncle, today is our fifth birthday.""Your bi

    In the restroom, Phoebe stared blankly at her phone. His call still hadn't come. Her heart sank with disappointment.She tried to calm herself, but her mind kept spinning with anxious thoughts. So lost in her worries, she forgot about the two kids waiting outside.It wasn't until a woman bumped into her that Phoebe snapped back to reality.Oh no, the kids!She rushed out of the restroom—only to find their seats empty.Her heart dropped. Cold sweat soaked her back. She frantically stopped a passerby."Excuse me, did you see two kids? A boy and a girl, about this tall—"No. No. No.Just as she was on the verge of panic, her phone suddenly rang.With trembling hands, Phoebe pulled it out and answered without even checking the caller ID."Hi, Mom."The moment she heard Jeremy's voice, Phoebe burst into tears. Her voice choked with emotion. "Where are you?""Mom, Amy and I are fine. Don't worry," Jeremy said gently."Tell me where you are." Phoebe sniffled, trying to keep her voice steady.

    At 3 a.m., the villa was wrapped in absolute silence. Alexander stumbled through the front door, the sharp scent of whiskey clinging to his suit.Upstairs, the bedroom door was ajar—like an open wound that refused to heal. He pushed it open. Moonlight slanted through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating a bed so untouched it didn't even bear a wrinkle.A dry laugh escaped him.Sliding down the wall, he sat on the floor, the back of his head resting against the cold wallpaper. The alcohol burned in his veins, but it couldn't dull the dull ache spreading through his chest. His fingers absentmindedly traced the old scar on his left abdomen—he should've locked her up five years ago, even if the chains had to be forged from hatred.By the time the pale morning light seeped through the curtains at 5 a.m., Phoebe was already awake. Her hand reached instinctively toward the phone on the pillow beside her—the screen was as clean and silent as glass rinsed by rain."He still hasn't seen i

  • Chased By Billionaire After One Night   The Explanation

    Phoebe stared at the dim screen of her phone, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the cold surface. The unfamiliar female voice on the other end still echoed in her ears, like a thorn lodged in her heart. All these years—even after losing his memory—Alexander had never had another woman by his side. Was it just like at that banquet again, where he'd hired someone to act just to provoke her?The thought made her lips curve involuntarily. Such childish tricks only exposed one thing: he still cared.Her fingers flew across the screen, tapping furiously. Thirty minutes later, she finally finished a long text message that laid bare the entire truth. She read through it again and again, checking every word and sentence, determined that this time, there would be no more misunderstandings. Just as she hit "send," she heard a soft creak at the door.Phoebe looked up to see a small head poking through the gap—Jeremy's. His large dark eyes sparkled in the darkness."Sweetheart?"

    Phoebe stirred from a haze of sleep, the sunlight filtering through the window making her squint. She reached for her nightstand, fingertips brushing against the cold screen of her phone—3:00 PM.She froze, her mind sluggishly trying to piece things together. Fragments of last night resurfaced: the living room, Alexander's embrace, the warmth of his body, the sound of his breath… And then? How had she ended up back in bed?The answer was obvious. In this villa, no one else would dare touch her.She rubbed her temples in frustration. Everything was exposed now—she'd waited for him all night and fallen asleep in his arms. He must've figured it out.Suddenly, the door burst open.Phoebe looked up. Alexander stood in the doorway, his face thunderously dark."Aren't you going to explain?" His voice was like a blade scraping across glass—cold and sharp.Her heart jumped, panic rising in her chest. "Explain what?"He didn't answer. Instead, he tossed her phone in front of her.Phoebe looked
