I adjusted the bouquet of fresh lilies in my hand as I stepped through the entrance of the nursing home. The scent of antiseptic and flowers lingered in the air, and soft music played in the background. It wasn’t exactly a welcoming place, but I knew it was the best Susan could provide for her mother. A nurse led me down the hallway to Mrs. Hart’s room, her expression a mix of curiosity and politeness. “She’s been expecting a visitor today. But I don’t think she knew it would be you.” I smirked slightly. “I hope it’s a good surprise.” The nurse gave me an uncertain smile before knocking on the door. “Mrs. Hart? You have a visitor.” A weak voice responded from inside. “Come in.” I stepped into the room, and my gaze immediately landed on the frail woman sitting by the window. She had Susan’s striking features...sharp eyes, high cheekbones, and a quiet strength even in her fragile state. Her hair was streaked with silver, and she looked thinner than I remembered from years ago. She turned her head slowly, her eyes narrowing as she took me in. Then, recognition flashed across her face. “Elliot Prescott?” I smiled, stepping forward. “It’s good to see you again, Mrs. Hart.” Her expression remained unreadable as she studied me, then glanced at the bouquet in my hands. “You brought flowers.” I nodded, placing them on the small table beside her. “I wasn’t sure what kind you liked, but Susan mentioned you used to love lilies.” That got a reaction. Her lips twitched slightly, almost forming a smile. “She remembers that, huh?” “She remembers everything about you,” I said softly. “She talks about you all the time.” Mrs. Hart leaned back in her chair, eyeing me carefully. “So, to what do I owe this visit? You didn’t just come here to charm an old woman, did you?” I chuckled. “Not entirely. I came because I wanted to see you. And… I wanted to ask for your blessing.” Her gaze sharpened. “Blessing?” I took a deep breath. “I asked Susan to marry me.” She blinked, her fingers tightening around the armrest. “You’re serious?” “Dead serious.” Silence stretched between us as she studied me, her expression unreadable. Then she sighed, shaking her head. “Elliot, I won’t lie...I never thought you and Susan would cross paths again, let alone talk about marriage. What makes you so sure about this?” I met her gaze without hesitation. “Because I never stopped loving her.” Her lips parted slightly, as if my words had caught her off guard. I continued, my voice firm. “I made a mistake leaving her all those years ago. I won’t make that mistake again. Susan is the love of my life, and I intend to spend the rest of my days proving that to her.” Mrs. Hart remained silent, her eyes searching mine for something...honesty, maybe. A long moment passed before she finally spoke. “You know, she cried a lot after you left,” she murmured. My heart clenched. “I know. And I hate that I hurt her.” “She built herself back up after that,” she continued. “She became strong. Independent. She doesn’t need saving, Elliot.” I nodded. “I know she doesn’t. But this isn’t about saving her...it’s about loving her. Supporting her. Being the man she deserves.” Mrs. Hart sighed, leaning her head back against the chair. For a moment, she just stared at the ceiling, lost in thought. Then, finally, she looked at me again. “If you ever hurt her again, I will personally make sure you regret it,” she said, her voice carrying a quiet warning. A smile tugged at my lips. “I wouldn’t expect anything less.” She exhaled, then nodded. “Alright, Prescott. You have my blessing.” Relief flooded through me, and I reached for her hand, squeezing it gently. “Thank you, Mrs. Hart.” She gave me a small, tired smile. “Take care of my girl.” “I will,” I promised. And this time, I meant it with everything in me.Related chapters
Falling For My Billionaire Ex I Will Take It
I wasn’t expecting a message from Mrs. Prescott, let alone another meeting request. It had been a month since our last conversation, and I assumed we had come to some form of mutual understanding...an uneasy truce, at best. But as I read the message from Elliot’s mother, asking me to meet her at an upscale hotel lounge, I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.Something about this felt different.Still, I went. Because no matter how much I disliked the idea of sitting across from that woman again, she was Elliot’s mother. And for his sake, I was willing to be civil.The lounge was the kind of place where the elite gathered, dripping in wealth and exclusivity. I spotted Mrs. Prescott instantly...elegant as ever in a tailored designer dress, her posture flawless, her expression unreadable.She didn’t smile as I approached.“Mrs. Prescott,” I greeted politely.She gestured to the seat across from her, and I sat, keeping my face neutral.“Would you like some tea?” she asked, though it didn

SusanI didn’t go home. I couldn’t.Instead, I found myself in a familiar spot...Meera’s apartment.The moment she opened the door, her sharp eyes scanned my face, instantly sensing something was wrong. Without a word, she stepped aside, letting me in.“Okay, something's definitely wrong.” she said, crossing her arms as I collapsed onto her couch, exhaling heavily.I reached into my purse and pulled out the check, placing it on the coffee table between us. Meera’s eyes widened as she picked it up, her mouth parting in shock.“Is this…?”I nodded. “Mrs. Prescott’s way of getting rid of me.”Meera’s brows furrowed. “You took it?”“Yes.” I let out a humorless laugh, leaning back. “I took it.”She sank onto the couch beside me, staring at me like I had lost my mind. “Susan… what the hell? Tell me you’re not seriously considering leaving Elliot over this.”I chewed on my lip, my stomach twisting. “I have to, Meera. You don’t understand. His mother...she’s relentless. I can’t fight her. I’m

SusanI had never been good at lying, especially not to Elliot. He could read me like a book, unraveling my thoughts with a single glance. But this… this was different. I had to make him believe I was losing interest. That I didn’t love him anymore. Even though the truth was, I had never loved him more.Sitting in my office, I stared at my phone, the screen lighting up for the tenth time that morning. Elliot Prescott. My heart clenched, but I ignored it, placing the phone face down on my desk. I needed to be strong. If I answered now, I’d hear the concern in his voice, the way he always said my name like I was the most important thing in his life. And I’d break.A knock on my door pulled me from my thoughts. Before I could respond, the door swung open, and there he was. Elliot.Tall, broad-shouldered, devastatingly handsome in his tailored suit. His hair was perfectly styled, but his sharp gaze softened the moment it landed on me.“You didn’t answer my calls,” he said, stepping inside

I beamed, stepping inside before he could stop me. "I missed you."Elliot blinked at me, then smirked. "Missed me?

SusanI adjusted my blazer and took a deep breath before walking into the boardroom. This was the opportunity I'd been waiting for...no room for nerves, no room for mistakes.But the moment I stepped inside, my breath caught.Ten years. It had been ten long years since I last saw him, and yet, there he was...Elliot Prescott, sitting at the head of the boardroom table like a king on his throne.The universe had a twisted sense of humor, throwing me into his world when I was at my lowest. Jobless, desperate, and hanging onto the last thread of my self-respect, I'd walked into this meeting thinking it was just another pitch. But then his eyes...those same piercing green eyes...met mine, and for a moment, I couldn't breathe.His piercing green eyes meeting mine the second I walked in. Time hadn't touched him, if anything, it had made him sharper, more composed. The air in the room suddenly felt too heavy."Ms. Hart," a man sitting beside him said, oblivious to the jolt of recognition betw

SusanThey say you never forget your firsts. First day of college. First time living away from home. First real taste of independence. And for me, my first love.I still remember the way the sun drenched the campus that morning, illuminating the sprawling lawns and the old brick buildings. I was 18, full of ambition, and ready to conquer the world...or at least my little corner of it. My backpack was heavier than necessary, my schedule meticulously planned, and my nerves barely under control.I had just exited the lecture hall after my orientation when I saw him. At first, it was just a passing glance. He stood out...not just because of his height or his sharp features, but because of the effortless way he seemed to exist in his space. Like he belonged there.And then I tripped.It wasn't a graceful stumble, either. My heel caught on an uneven patch of pavement, and I went sprawling forward, my books and papers scattering across the ground."Whoa...careful there."That voice...smooth

Falling For My Billionaire Ex Claiming Her Again
ElliotThe second she whispered yes again, something inside me snapped.I crashed my lips against hers, pushing her back against the car as my hands roamed her body. I could feel her trembling under my touch, her breath coming in short, desperate gasps as she clung to my shirt.I wanted her.Here. Now.I didn’t care that we were outside her building. The need to feel her, to claim her, was overpowering.But then she broke the kiss, gasping, her pupils blown wide with desire. “Elliot...inside.”That was all I needed.I grabbed her hand and practically dragged her to the entrance, fumbling for the keys she hastily pulled from her purse. The second the door swung open, I kicked it shut behind us, spun her around, and pinned her against the wall.Susan let out a small gasp, but her eyes gleamed with anticipation. I kissed her hungrily, my hands roaming beneath her dress, feeling the heat of her skin.“God, I missed you,” I murmured against her lips, my voice husky.She shivered. “Then sho
Falling For My Billionaire Ex Dinner With Mrs Prescott
Susan I had no idea why I agreed to this dinner. Maybe it was Elliot’s insistence, or maybe it was my own need to prove I wasn’t afraid of his mother. Either way, I found myself seated across from Mrs. Prescott in an exclusive restaurant, the air thick with tension. She was as intimidating as I remembered...poised, elegant, and utterly unreadable. The kind of woman who could tear someone apart with a single glance. And right now, all that cold, assessing energy was focused on me. The waiter had just poured our wine when she finally broke the silence. “I appreciate you agreeing to meet with me, Susan,” she said, though her tone held no warmth. “Of course,” I replied, keeping my voice steady. “Elliot told me you wanted to talk.” She took a sip of her wine before setting the glass down with precision. “Yes, I did. I wanted to meet the woman who has suddenly reappeared in my son’s life after all these years.” I stiffened at the way she said it. Like I had plotted my way back into E
