Anton reached for my hand, his fingers curling around mine in that reassuring way that always made me feel safe. “I’m right here with you.” Together, we made our way to the venue—a small, private room in a government building. It wasn’t extravagant, but it felt right. The judge greeted us warmly, and after a few moments of formalities, we stood facing each other, the weight of the moment settling around us. Anton’s eyes never left mine as the judge began to speak. I could feel the anticipation building in my chest, my emotions swirling. This was it. This was the beginning of everything. When it was time to exchange vows, Anton went first. “I promise to love you, cherish you, and stand by your side in every moment, no matter what comes our way. You are my heart, and I am yours.” Tears welled up in my eyes as he spoke, his words so genuine, so full of meaning. I could feel the sincerity in his voice, and my heart swelled with love for him. When it was my turn, I took a deep breath,

THE BEGINNINGI am Kirsten Zaldua.I stood in front of the towering Rockwell Corporation building, feeling small and out of place. My reflection stared back at me from the glass doors—tired, determined, but undeniably weary. Hugging the insulated delivery bag tightly against my chest, I braced myself for what lay ahead.This wasn’t my first delivery to this company, but somehow, the nerves always got to me. The polished marble floors, the sharp suits of the employees walking briskly inside, the hum of luxury and power that seemed to fill the air—it always reminded me of a world I desperately wanted to be part of but knew I didn’t belong in.Tightening my grip on the bag, I took a deep breath and tried to push away the thoughts clawing at the back of my mind. But they always found a way to resurface. Life wasn’t always like this for me.When I was younger, we had a simple but happy life. My mom, Olivia Zaldua, was an accountant for a small company, while my dad, Elias, worked as a cons

DELIVERYHer teasing softened, her gaze turning more tender. I caught a glimpse of something in her expression—maybe understanding, or maybe just the kindness she always extended to me. She’d seen so many faces pass through this lobby, yet there was something about me that seemed to linger in her mind. Perhaps it was my humility, or maybe the quiet hope that I carried, despite the weariness that seemed to be etched into every inch of my body.“I’ll see what I can do,” Grace said, her voice gentle as she took the package from me.“Thank you,” I said, offering a small but sincere smile. I adjusted my bag and turned to leave, my feet moving faster as I neared the door. I wanted to escape this grand lobby, this world that always reminded me of the gap between my life and the one I dreamed of. As I hurried to exit the lobby, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something in the air had changed. It wasn’t that anything specific had happened, but the weight of this building, the polished floor

NEW DAYBefore heading to bed, I glanced at my phone and saw the delivery schedule for the next day. Another drop-off at Rockwell Corporation. My heart gave a small flutter—was it excitement, or just the hope that tomorrow might bring something new? I wasn’t sure.As I lay there in the dim light of the small room, the weight of the day settled on my shoulders. I could feel the thin mattress beneath me, the fabric worn and soft from years of use. The silence in the room was almost oppressive, but it was a silence I had come to know well—a kind of quiet that wrapped itself around my thoughts, leaving me alone with my hopes and fears.Tomorrow felt like another battle, another challenge to face, but I had learned not to fear the challenges. They were part of the rhythm of my life now. My heart still fluttered at the thought of the delivery tomorrow—Rockwell Corporation. Every time I stepped into their sleek, glass-and-steel building, I couldn't help but feel a spark of something. Maybe i

NOTICEDWalking into the sleek lobby, I felt the familiar pang of inadequacy, but I kept my head high.“Delivery,” I told the receptionist, handing over the package.As I waited for her to sign the receipt, I couldn’t help but glance around. The polished floors, the soft hum of air conditioning, the sharp-dressed employees—it was a world so different from my own. But for a moment, standing there, I let myself imagine what it would be like to belong.“Thank you,” the receptionist said, snapping me out of my thoughts.I nodded, forcing a polite smile before turning to leave. As I stepped outside, the cool evening air greeted me, carrying with it a sense of both relief and longing. Another day was done, another small victory won.And as I pedaled home under the glow of the streetlights, I reminded myself of the prayer I had whispered the night before. Strength, not miracles—that was what I needed. And with each passing day, I felt myself growing stronger, ready to face whatever tomorrow

POVIt wasn’t entirely true, but he wasn’t ready to admit, even to himself, that his curiosity was entirely personal.Antonius’s mind raced as he watched Kirsten disappear down the street, the soft hum of her bike fading into the distance. He tried to shake off the feeling of curiosity, but it clung to him, like an itch that couldn’t be scratched.His assistant, still standing by his side, glanced at him, unsure of the abrupt shift in his mood.“Are you sure, sir?” the assistant asked, trying to assess the situation.Antonius gave a small nod, his gaze lingering on the empty street where she had vanished.“Set up the meeting. I want to know everything about the delivery company she works for. The sooner, the better.” His voice was steady, but there was an underlying edge to it, one that betrayed just how much his thoughts had been consumed by this simple, yet inexplicably compelling, girl.The assistant, though still puzzled, didn’t dare question him further. “Of course, sir.

NEWSHe leaned back slightly, studying me with a thoughtful expression. “Helping? Kirsten, you’re making a difference. It’s not just the work you do—it’s the way you carry yourself. People see that. I see that.”My heart fluttered, and I quickly looked down at my hands to hide the blush creeping up my neck. I wasn’t used to this kind of attention, but it felt... good. It felt deserved.Before I could respond, a customer walked into the restaurant, interrupting our conversation. Mr. Reyes gave me one last nod of acknowledgment before turning toward the new guest.“Go ahead and take care of the customer,” he said with a smile. “We’ll talk more later.”I nodded, still flushed from the exchange, and walked over to greet the new arrival. As I made my way to the table, I couldn’t help but replay Mr. Reyes’s words in my head. It was more than just praise—it was validation. For once, I felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be, doing exactly what I was meant to do.The evening carrie

OPPORTUNITY A chapter that held the promise of more than I had ever dared to imagine.And as I pedaled home, the gentle hum of my bike beneath me, I felt a sense of purpose settling into my chest. The future was out there, waiting for me, just beyond the horizon.The next morning, the restaurant was abuzz with activity, but it wasn’t the usual pre-opening rush. There was an underlying excitement in the air, a ripple of anticipation that seemed to infect everyone. Even the staff who were typically quiet and reserved during the early hours were whispering amongst themselves about Mr. Reyes’s big meeting with the CEO of Rockwell Corporation.I tried to stay focused on my tasks, but it was hard not to let my thoughts wander. The possibilities were endless, and while I didn’t know exactly what Mr. Reyes’s meeting would entail, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something monumental was about to happen.By midday, Mr. Reyes returned to the restaurant.

As we stepped through the door, our hands still intertwined, the world outside seemed distant. The comfort of our home wrapped around us like a warm blanket. Anton pulled me close, his arms slipping around my waist as he held me from behind. I could feel his breath against my neck, soft and warm, as he kissed me slowly, tenderly."Mrs. Rockwell," he whispered, his voice teasing, sending a shiver down my spine. His words were full of promise, of a future that, no matter how uncertain, felt like it was finally within reach.I let out a soft laugh, the sound light and carefree. "Not yet," I replied, glancing back at him, my eyes meeting his with a playful glint.His lips curled into a mischievous grin, the kind that made my heart race. "Oh, you will soon," he said, his voice low and intimate, as he tightened his hold on me just enough to make my heart flutter. "And I want you to practice a new signature with my surname in it soon."His words hung in the air, heavy with significance. It w

I smiled, a warm glow spreading through me. "I'm glad we took the chance. I can't imagine my life without you now."As we shared a tender kiss, the fire crackled once more, as if celebrating our newfound love. The sofa, witness to our passionate encounter, seemed to sigh contentedly, its cushions inviting them to stay a while longer. And so they did, wrapped in each other's arms, lost in a world where only they existed, a world filled with love, passion, and the promise of a future together."When did you fall in love with me, Anton?" I asked, my voice soft as I looked up at him.He smirked, his fingers lightly tracing patterns on my arm. "I fell for you when you were just a delivery girl," he admitted with a chuckle.I giggled, remembering those days. "I was so naive back then. I only wanted to get your attention so you would hire me. That’s why I started sending those special meals to your office. I thought if I impressed you enough, you’d give me a job."Anton smiled as if recallin

I stopped, turning my head slightly, but I didn’t let go of Anton’s hand. “Yes?”He hesitated, his lips parting and closing as though he couldn’t quite find the words. Finally, he spoke, his voice quieter now. “Do you think I even deserve peace? After everything I’ve done to you… to both of you?”I sighed, glancing at Anton, who gave my hand a small squeeze. He didn’t intervene, allowing me to face Vincent on my own terms. “It’s not about deserving it, Vincent,” I said gently. “It’s about whether or not you want it. Whether or not you’re willing to change and work toward it.”He leaned back in his chair, his cuffed hands resting heavily on the armrests. His gaze fell to the floor as if searching for answers in the patterns of the tiles. “I don’t know if I can live with the guilt. Every time I think about what I’ve done… it’s like it’s eating me alive.”“Then stop running from it,” I said firmly. “Face it. Own your mistakes and make amends where you can. That’s the only way you’ll ever
Claiming What's Mine: A Billionaire Romance CHAPTER 107
He looked down at his cuffed hands, his voice lowering to a whisper. "So, I took advantage of it. Out of jealousy, out of spite. I wanted to take away something he cared about, something he might love, just to prove I could. I wanted to hurt him the way I thought he had hurt me... and you became the collateral damage."His words hit me like a tidal wave, and for a moment, I couldn’t breathe. All this time, I had thought Vincent’s actions were about me, about control, about possession. But now I realized—it was never about me. It was about his insecurities, his bitterness toward Anton, and his need to win a game only he was playing."You used me..." I whispered, the hurt evident in my voice.Vincent’s eyes met mine, and for the first time, they weren’t filled with arrogance or anger. They were filled with regret. "I did," he confessed. "And I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.""I can’t believe you..." I whispered, my voice trembling with disbelief and pain.Vincent nodded slowly, h

"Anton..." I hesitated, my fingers twisting nervously in my lap as I searched for the courage to voice what had been weighing on my mind. "Can I meet him?"The room fell silent, the air suddenly thick with tension. Anton’s jaw tightened, his usually soft eyes hardening as they locked onto mine. "Why do you want to meet him, Kirsten?" His voice was calm, but there was an unmistakable edge to it.I took a deep breath, steadying myself. "Because I feel like I need to," I said softly. "To free myself from him completely—for real this time. I need closure, Anton. I need to look him in the eyes and tell him that we’re done. And... I want him to ask for forgiveness."Anton’s gaze didn’t waver, but I could see the conflict brewing behind his eyes. For a moment, I thought he’d argue, tell me it was unnecessary, that I didn’t need to reopen that chapter of my life.But then, to my surprise, he nodded. "If that’s what you need," he said quietly, his voice firm but filled with understanding, "I’l

The days passed like a dream—soft, fleeting, and almost unreal. I hadn’t been counting them because, for the first time in years, I was truly happy. But that happiness was laced with an edge of unease, especially when Anton told me what had happened.Vincent had been captured. By Anton’s men.The news left a strange weight in my chest, and though I tried to push it aside, it lingered."What are you going to do to your brother, Anton?" I asked, my voice quiet but firm as I sat across from him in the spacious living room.Anton leaned back in his chair, his sharp features illuminated by the soft glow of the chandelier. His brow arched slightly, a smirk tugging at his lips. "You sound like you’re worried about him."I hesitated, unsure how to answer that. Was I?Despite the cruel way Vincent had treated me, a part of me couldn’t deny that he had once been a significant part of my life. But worry? Love? Those feelings had long since faded."I’m not worried about him," I said, shaking my h

I learned from him that Vincent had resorted to sending death threats, demanding Anton leave the country. My stomach turned at the revelation. It was a side of Vincent I hadn’t fully understood until now. Anton, however, seemed unfazed, stating firmly, “He’ll pay for that. I’ll make sure he does. Threatening me gives me the leverage I need to put him behind bars.”The thought of Vincent—once the man I thought I loved—going to prison left me torn. A part of me felt justice was inevitable, but another part still struggled to reconcile this side of him with the man I had once known.And then there was Anton. The man who had been a stranger not so long ago but now felt like a lifeline. It was surreal to think back to the days when I would deliver lunches to his company, never once imagining that the CEO himself was aware of me. And now, here I was, living under the same roof with him."Can you believe this?" I murmured to myself one evening as I stood by the window, looking out at the exp

His eyes narrowed, and for a moment, I thought he might lash out. But instead, he turned away, laughing bitterly. "We’ll see about that," he muttered, disappearing into his bedroom and slamming the door behind him. I exhaled shakily, my entire body trembling. This wasn’t living. This was survival. I picked up my phone and opened Anton’s message again. Without overthinking, I typed: Me: I need your help. I hit send and waited, my heart pounding in my chest. Within seconds, his reply came. Anton: I’ll be there in the morning. I stared at the message, a mix of relief and fear washing over me. Tomorrow, things would change. Whether for better or worse, I didn’t know. But one thing was certain—I couldn’t keep living like this. The morning light filtered through the curtains, and I sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the floor. My heart felt heavy, weighed down by everything that had happened the night before. Vincent’s words still echoed in my mind—his possessiveness, hi
