"I don't know..." My voice was barely a whisper, a confession of my bewilderment. The weight of his unspoken anger pressed down on me, a heavy cloak of intimidation. I knew better than to push him; his unpredictable nature was a threat I was determined to avoid. This wasn't the time for defiance. This was the time for observation, for careful calculation, for patience. The elevator ascended, its smooth, silent movement a stark contrast to the turbulent emotions churning within me. The air crackled with unspoken tension, a silent battle of wills waged between us. I stared at the numbers illuminating above the door, each ascending floor a step closer to an unknown destination, a destination that held the key to a mystery I was desperate to unravel. The silence stretched, heavy and suffocating, broken only by the rhythmic hum of the elevator's machinery. I resolved to remain silent, to observe, to wait, and to prepare for whatever awaited us at our destination. My silence was not subm

“Meet my girlfriend, Kirsten Zaldua,” Vincent said, his voice clipped but firm. “Hm, Kirsten,” Antonius repeated, as if tasting the name. “What a lovely name.” His smirk widened as his gaze finally locked with mine. I forced myself to meet his eyes, my lips pressing into a tight line. My glare was meant to convey a silent warning—stop this, Anton—but it only seemed to amuse him further. The smug look on his face sent a wave of unease through me, and I could practically feel Vincent’s anger rising like a tide. His fists clenched at his sides, and his jaw tightened in a way that told me I’d be in trouble for this later, even though I hadn’t done anything wrong. Great. Just great. I was certain Anton was enjoying this, and it only made the situation worse. “Let’s get straight to the point, Anton,” Vincent said, his voice sharp with frustration. “I want to negotiate the return of my businesses. Give them back to me, and I’ll leave you and your company forever.” Antonius leaned back

I barely processed their exchange; my thoughts were still stuck on the realization that Antonius was the CEO of Rockwell. How was this possible? How did I never know? Questions swirled in my head, demanding answers I wasn’t sure I wanted to hear. “Good,” Vincent replied curtly, though I could sense the tension in his voice.“But,” Antonius continued, leaning forward slightly, his gaze sharp and unyielding, “I want you to confess all your sins in front of your girlfriend.”My jaw dropped, the words hitting me like a slap in the face. What?!“What?!” Vincent sputtered, his voice rising. “I did nothing wrong!”Antonius smirked, leaning back in his chair with an infuriatingly calm demeanor. “Confess, Vincent. Or you can kiss your precious restaurants goodbye.”Vincent’s discomfort was palpable. His body stiffened, his fists clenched on the armrests of his chair, and beads of sweat began to form on his temple. I couldn’t help but stare at him, my chest tightening with unease. This wasn’t

I stared blankly into space, my mind unable to process what had just happened. The air between Antonius and Vincent had been thick with tension, and Vincent’s words still echoed in my head. "She's mine," he had declared. As if I were a possession—a prize to be claimed. "And whatever you're planning, brother," Vincent added, his voice cold and laced with disdain, "she's mine. Now, let's go." Before I could protest, Vincent grabbed my arm, his grip firm and unyielding, pulling me toward the door. I stumbled after him, unable to resist, my body moving like a puppet on strings. I felt like a hollow statue, my mind detached from my actions, and my heart heavy with the weight of his betrayal. Hearing it come from him—hearing him admit, without remorse, that he had cheated on me—was like a dagger to my chest. This was the man I had loved so deeply, the man I had once trusted with my entire being. Once we were outside the office, Vincent spun around to face me, his face twisted in ang

I blinked, overwhelmed by the sudden intensity of his words. “How do you know me so much, Mr. Rockwell?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, disbelief coloring my tone. “I’ve known you enough,” he said, his expression unreadable. “You don’t know how much I know about you, Kirsten.” My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly looked away, trying to process everything. “You don’t understand,” I murmured, shaking my head. “Even if I wanted to leave, I can’t. I owe him. Big time.” Antonius’s jaw tightened, his eyes flashing with something close to anger. “I will pay whatever you owe him,” he said firmly. I let out a hollow laugh, the sound bitter and filled with despair. “It’s not about the money,” I said, my voice trembling. “He doesn’t care about that anymore. He… he wants me instead.” Antonius froze, his expression darkening. For a moment, he looked as though he might argue, but then he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. When he opened them again, they were filled with sorrow

“N-No,” I croaked, my voice shaking. Vincent’s gaze narrowed, and he leaned forward slightly, studying my face as though he could see through my lie. “Are you sure?” My breath caught, and I swallowed hard, forcing myself to speak more clearly. “Why would he be here?” I asked, keeping my tone steady this time. Anton, meanwhile, continued his torment. His lips trailed up and down my leg, his movements slow and deliberate, sending shivers through me. I clenched my jaw, willing my body to stay still and not give anything away. Vincent finally sighed, stepping back slightly. “If he does show up, you’ll let me know, won’t you?” “O-Okay,” I managed to say, my voice barely above a whisper. Satisfied for the moment, Vincent turned and left the room, heading toward his bedroom. The second I heard his door close, I released the breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding. My hands trembled as I leaned against the counter, glaring down at Anton, who was now looking up at me with an infuriati

This time, I typed back quickly, not giving myself time to overthink. Me: Why should I have dinner with you? His response came almost instantly. Anton: Because you need a reminder of what life could be like without him. I didn’t reply, but that didn’t stop me from thinking about it for the rest of the day. When I got home, Vincent wasn’t there. I hadn’t expected him to be. But somehow, it made the house feel even emptier. By the time the clock struck seven, I found myself standing in front of my closet, pulling out a simple black dress I hadn’t worn in years. “You’re crazy,” I muttered to myself as I slipped it on. But even as I said it, I knew the truth. Somewhere deep down, I wanted to see him again. He had texted me the location earlier, and now, as I stood outside the grand building, I couldn't help but feel out of place. The restaurant was nothing like the modest places I was used to. Its towering glass facade sparkled under the evening lights, and the gold-accented d

I didn’t say much after that, choosing instead to focus on finishing my meal. Anton, however, spent the entire time watching me, his piercing gaze following every small movement I made. It was unsettling, but I tried my best to ignore it.By the time the last course was served, I was so full I doubted I could take another bite. Still, I felt an obligation to finish—it seemed wasteful not to. But for someone like Anton, leaving food untouched probably didn’t matter at all.I dabbed my lips with a napkin and looked at him. “So,” I started cautiously, “what’s this ‘show’ you said I’ve been missing out on? What’s so important that you had to drag me out tonight?”His lips curved into a smirk, one that made me instantly suspicious. “You’ll find out,” he said cryptically. “But only if you decide to come with me after dinner.”I blinked, unsure whether he was serious or teasing. “Come with you where?”“Just trust me,” he said simply, leaning back in his chair, exuding an air of confidence th

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,

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
