Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 113. Everything going wrong
Jensen's POV When I woke up, the first thing I felt was a throbbing pain in my head. The light bothered me, and I was lying in an unfamiliar bed, naked, with a heavy body and a foggy mind. Fragments of the previous night came back in flashes. A woman… laughter… glasses clinking. But what jolted me to reality was a name echoing in my head: "Lilian." My heart raced, panic immediately took hold of me, and the images of the night began to piece together like a macabre puzzle. I remembered a red-haired woman, her provocative smile, and a cruel glint in her eyes. My chest tightened. Lilian… I was with another woman, and she saw everything. The memories returned with suffocating clarity, and each detail felt like a punch to the stomach. I had fallen into Kate's trap, and now I had destroyed everything I loved most. I sat up quickly, ignoring the headache, and looked around, searching for something—anything—that would confirm this was a nightmare. But no. There was Kate, sitting in an ar

Lilian POV I felt completely out of place, as if I was no longer welcome in that place. It was strange being there, in that apartment. That penthouse in the heart of Richmond had been chosen by him with such care, as if he already knew it would be our home. A home that now seemed so far away from me. When we entered, Finn was quick to guide us to the main floor. He smiled at the kids, who were excited about the idea of sleeping in a new place, and I tried to smile back, but something deep in my chest kept me from being genuine. The apartment was huge, the huge windows overlooked the illuminated city, and the decor was impeccable — minimalist, but with that cozy touch that has always enchanted me. But it was when we reached the children's hallway that my heart sank. There was the room, the room that Finn had prepared for them, with three beds, each decorated with fluffy duvet covers, toys scattered around and a mural on the wall with photos that hadn't been taken yet. It was all

Jensen POV When I finally set foot on the jet, my head was spinning. The whole way back, the only thing running through my mind was how I had let things get out of control like that. How was I able to throw everything we built away? This question echoed over and over again, accompanied by a constant pain in the chest, a weight that seemed to double every second. Once the plane landed, I wasted no time. I got in the car as quickly as I could and drove to the mansion. I was so focused that if someone had crossed my path, I wouldn't have even noticed. Likewise, I sped up without caring about the traffic or the safety signs. In my mind, nothing seemed to matter other than getting to Lilian and the kids. Finally, I opened the door to the house. A dead silence greeted me. An almost frightening emptiness. The soft sound of children's laughter and Lilian's perfume were absent. Everything felt... wrong. Very wrong. "Lillian!" I shouted, feeling my voice echo through the empty hallways.

Lilian POV The studio was the only place I could find peace, even if it was momentary. Between colorful fabrics, scattered patterns and doodles of new designs, I could immerse myself in what was still mine alone. But that day, work had to take a backseat. I had called Jensen for a chat. It was difficult to confront the memories. I still remembered the day he kneeled in front of me with that nervous smile, holding a small box with a ring that seemed to shine brighter than the light in the room. The marriage proposal seemed like something out of a dream. We both laughed, and everything seemed perfect... until we went to that nightclub. He arrived on time, as usual. He knocked on the door before entering and found me standing, leaning against the desk, arms crossed in a defensive gesture. I didn't know how to start, but something in the look in his eyes told me he already knew what was coming. “Thank you for calling me, Lilian,” Jensen began, trying to soften the weight that h

Lilian POV Jensen's gaze was insistent, almost desperate. I knew he wanted more than just words of comfort. He wanted something I wasn't sure I could give. But when he begged to see his children, I couldn't refuse. They had a right to see him. "Okay, Jensen," I sighed, tired of resisting. "But it will be in my apartment, and just for today. No scenes." "I promise, Lilian. I just want to see them. Nothing more." As soon as we arrived, I was already regretting giving in, but I tried to ignore the inconvenience. The kids were in the living room watching a cartoon, and I knew it would be a shock for them. I took a deep breath and called them. "Kids, come here. I have a surprise." Ruby was the first to look at the door. Your eyes widened when you saw Jensen standing there, holding his hands nervously. "Is it... is it, Daddy?" She asked, her voice almost a whisper. Ryan jumped to his feet, knocking his glass of juice onto the carpet. "Daddy!" Rory, however, crossed

Jensen POV It had been a while since I had dinner at Lilian's house. This idea had come from me; after all, it was important to enjoy moments with Ruby, Rory and Ryan, even if it meant facing a space that I no longer called home. As soon as I parked the car in front of the house, I saw lights on and heard laughter coming from inside. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door. It didn't take long for it to be opened by Rory, who gave me an enthusiastic smile. "Daddy! You're here!" he exclaimed, pulling my hand to let me in. Before she could respond, Ruby came running over, her hair bouncing. "Did you bring something for me?" he asked, eyes shining with expectation. Ryan appeared soon after, holding a toy car. He didn't say anything but smiled shyly as he walked over to hug me. "Hi, guys. I brought something, but only if you eat everything for dinner,", I joked, holding up the bag that contained some sweets. They started chatting at the same time, each telli

The word "pregnant" was still ringing in my head, but not in a pleasant way. The doctor had just told me the news, but I couldn't process it all. The baby Lilian was expecting... would it be mine? What did that mean? I thought things between us had started to get better, that we were finally finding our way back together. And then… everything changed. As I tried to organize my thoughts, hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway. I looked and saw Finn approaching quickly, with an air of urgency. What was he doing here? What did he want with Lilian? "Where is Lilian?" he asked, out of the blue, as if he had a right to know. I stared at him, discomfort growing inside me. "Why do you want to know?" I asked, trying to hide the anger in my voice. He smiled provocatively, without showing any sign of respect. "Because I want to see my girlfriend," he replied, and the words dropped like a bomb. Girlfriend? Lillian? How dare he? "You've got to be kidding," I snapped, feeling the a

Jensen POVI didn't know exactly how I got to that point. The hospital was the place where I should feel useful, close to Lilian, but everything was falling apart. The hallway was filled with tension, as if the air were heavier. Phillip, with his arms crossed, looked exasperated. April kept her gaze restless, moving from me to Finn, who still had that smug smile on his face. "Jensen, this has gone too far," Phillip said, stepping forward. "You need to calm down before this gets even more out of hand." "Do you think it's easy to stay calm?" I retorted, my voice sounding louder than it should have. "This idiot shows up here like he has the right to be near Lilian!" Finn took a step towards me, with that air of superiority that made my blood boil. He didn't seem worried. In fact, he seemed to feed off my anger. "Maybe because I have more rights than you," he said, with a cynical smile. "Lilian deserves someone who can measure up to her. Someone who hasn't destroyed her." "You d

Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back Epilogue: Deserved happy ending
Months had passed since the moment Lilian and Jensen had united forever, and the mansion, already full of life and joy, now seemed to be living a new chapter of great happiness. The afternoon was calm, but the atmosphere inside the house was buzzing with anticipation. Lilian, in labor, was preparing to give birth to the couple's fourth child, and emotions were running high.Jensen, visibly nervous, paced back and forth. His feet tapped the floor with a constant rhythm, a reflection of the whirlwind of thoughts that wouldn't settle. He paused briefly, looking at the door of the room where his wife was being assisted by the nurses. His mind couldn't find peace, thoughts of what might happen spread, even though he knew Lilian was in good hands."You need to calm down," said Philip, the couple's friend, who stood by Jensen's side. He knew how anxious Jensen could be, and his calm had always been a pillar of support. "She's strong. And you'll be an incredible father, no matter what happens
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 175. This time is forever
Lilian's POVI returned to the garden where Jensen was waiting for me, his attentive gaze fixing on me as soon as he saw me. He had a way of noticing when something wasn't right, and this time was no different. He had gone to check on the children, but now, he was there, as if he knew I needed him more than ever."Hey, love," he said softly, kneeling beside me. "Is everything okay?"I looked at him, and the answer just escaped me. "I'm so happy for her, but at the same time so sad. She was a part of all this, of us, and now... she's leaving..."Jensen looked at me with silent understanding, as if he knew exactly what I was feeling. He extended his hand, and with a serene smile, he pulled me close, wrapping me in his embrace. "I understand, Lilian. I felt it too, and I know how important she was. But life goes on, and people need to take new steps. And you... you've always been wonderful with her."I gave a faint smile, the weight of his words enveloping me in a comforting way. I knew

Lilian POVThe night was calm and pleasant, with a gentle breeze caressing my face and soft lights illuminating the garden. I was there, sitting with Jensen, enjoying the tranquil moments of the party. The laughter of children and the soft sounds of celebration still echoed through the house, but for a moment, the world seemed to shrink to just the two of us.Jensen held my hand and smiled. "It was a perfect day, wasn't it?""Yes, it really was," I replied, resting my head on his shoulder. "I feel so happy that we managed to pull all this off."We sat in silence for a few minutes, simply enjoying each other's company. But then, a familiar figure approached from the garden. It was Sadie, with that wide smile that always accompanied her."Hi, Lilian! Mr. Grimes! Congratulations, really, your wedding was wonderful," she said, smiling sincerely as she approached. "Everything was impeccable, and the kids were so happy. I've never seen them so excited.""Thank you, Sadie. I'm very glad you
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 173. Finally married!
Lilian POVIt was an ordinary day. The sun came through the windows of the house, illuminating the room with a golden light. Children were playing in the yard, their laughter filling the air. I was in the kitchen, tidying up some things, while Jensen seemed mysteriously busy somewhere in the house. "You're very quiet today, Jensen. What are you up to?" I asked, half joking, while washing some fruit. "Me? No big deal." He replied, appearing in the doorway with a mischievous smile. "You're terrible at keeping secrets." I laughed, drying my hands. He just shrugged. "Trust me. Just come with me." "Now?" I asked, surprised. "Now." He took my hand and led me to the conservatory. When we entered, I noticed the atmosphere was different. Flowers were scattered across the floor, forming a path to a small table where there was a velvet box. My heart started to race. "Jensen..." I started, but he interrupted me with a tender look. "Let me speak first, Lilian." He took a deep bre
Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back 172. Finally home!
Lilian POVDays after everything that happened, we were back in Richmond, at our home. Or rather, in Jensen's mansion. I knew things would never be the same, but I also knew we no longer had to carry the weight of Kate or any other threat. She was tried and sentenced to many years in prison for killing Finn and screwing Jensen and me. It was a relief, but not a cure for everything we went through.The children and I, to my surprise, were more excited than I imagined, despite all the turbulence we had experienced, we returned to the mansion, because it was what felt right. I didn't want to be away from Jensen again. He was always in my thoughts, and more than ever, I knew that our family needed to be together.When we arrived at the mansion, Jensen was there, waiting at the door, with that comforting smile. He seemed more relaxed now, maybe because we'd finally gotten through the storm. When he saw us, his face lit up, and he stepped forward, arms open to welcome the children."Welcome

Sadie POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, but to be honest, I had literally barely slept. I spent the night tossing and turning, thinking about Micah. How was he? Was he alone? Had he eaten anything? I need to see you.I looked at the clock. It was still six in the morning, but I couldn't stay in bed. With a heavy sigh, I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. I washed my face, trying to shake off the tiredness that seemed to be clinging to me, and got dressed quickly. Nothing too elaborate: jeans, a t-shirt, and a sweater. In the kitchen, I made some toast and a cup of coffee. My stomach was upset, but I knew I needed something to eat to get through the day. As I nibbled on the toast, my mind continued to wander. The image of Micah that night never left my head, his expression of pain mixed with determination. Micah had done a lot of stupid things, but he had also put himself at risk to protect us. It didn't erase his mistakes, but it was a gesture I couldn'

Jensen POVThe hotel where we stayed seemed like a perfect refuge, a relief after so much tension. Me, Lilian, Sadie, and the children needed this rest. Ruby, Rory, and Ryan were visibly shaken, and after all the tension, it was difficult for them to relax. The shadows of fear were still present in his eyes, and it made my heart sink. I knew I couldn't let fear rule their night.After they had a quick snack and settled in, we managed to get them into bed, although it wasn't easy. They were scared, not only of the situation with Finn, but also of everything they had experienced. The simple act of sleeping seemed to frighten them, as if their dreams might be interrupted by something darker.Lilian and I stayed beside them for a while, speaking quietly, trying to make the environment as comfortable and calm as possible. When Ruby finally closed her eyes, I covered her with the sheet, kissing her forehead softly. Rory and Ryan were calmer, but they still exchanged nervous glances. I sat o

Kate POVWhen I found out Finn was in New York, a fire came over me. Every cell in my body was on fire. He didn't deserve to live in peace after what he had done. Not only because he ran away with Lilian, but because he stole everything I had. Every penny I had earned, he took. But I knew. I knew this had to end. I would find him. And when he did, he would pay.Anger wouldn't let me rest. I followed him, without hesitation, for every step he took. Like a shadow, I entered the city, my hands shaking with anger and anxiety. I didn't know exactly what I would do when I found him, but I knew it would be something he would never forget.That night, fate gave me an opportunity. I saw Finn's car approaching the deserted road, its headlights illuminating the darkness of the night. I stopped my car halfway and got out, the cold wind hitting my face. It didn't matter. I was ready.Finn stopped the car when he saw me. He came down, looking surprised. He was probably thinking it wouldn't be that

Finn Sawyer The sound of sirens echoed in the air, getting closer and closer, like a relentless predator in search of its prey. I pressed hard on the accelerator, feeling the vibration of the engine roar beneath me as the speedometer rose. The car rocked slightly on the uneven asphalt road, but I couldn't waste time."Finn Sawyer! Stop the vehicle immediately!" The metallic voice came through the speaker of the police car behind me."Dream on," I muttered under my breath, turning the steering wheel sharply to enter a dirt road. Rocks flew against the windshield, but I didn't slow down."Finn, Sawyer, this is your last chance! Park your car now, or we will use lethal force!"I laughed, but there was no humor in it. Did they think a warning like that would make me stop? All I knew was that getting caught was not an option.Police car lights shined brightly in the rearview mirror. "Come on, come on..." I murmured, my eyes searching for an opening, an exit.The road narrowed further, be
