Reclaimed by the Billionaire Monday Morning
Xavier~"See you on Monday, Mr. Thompson." She got up from her couch and left my office, limping. Despite her severely twisted ankle, she obstinately declined my assistance. I wanted to spend my time with her. Time seemed to pass quickly when I was with her. She and I talked about my previous cases for seven hours today, and throughout that time, I didn't see even a glimmer of affection in her eyes. She is so changed now that my presence did not even affect her. She didn't flinch at all when I carried her in my arms to the couch. "Mr. Thompson, should I close the office now?" The watchman's voice took me into reality. "Sure, I'm heading out now." I got in the taxi and headed back to my hotel room. Was Alica's murder case related to any of my other cases? However, given that Jordan Lucas is already in jail, why does she appear to be so curious about him and the likelihood that he is the driving force behind this murder case? I lie on my bed after dinner and can't get Bella's thoug

Isabella~"How did this call detail confirm Alicia's connection to Jordan?" He gave me a perplexed expression. "Jordan Lucas's phone has the same IMEI number as these numbers." I tried to dispel his doubt. "But Bella, how is this even possible? Jordan is in prison." He furrowed his brow. "That's why I'm confused. I checked his file and found him in jail. However, after confirming these call details, I discovered that Jordan Lucas is the caller in every case. It's quite likely that Alicia entered your life to exact retribution on you." "No, that's not possible. She can't do this to me. She entered my life because she loved me." I noticed the pain in Xavier's eyes. After learning the truth about his wife, he struggles to accept it. I can feel his suffering. I have encountered this circumstance previously. I blindly trusted him, and he brutally shattered my heart by deceiving me into having an affair with my stepsister. Now, he is reaping the consequences of his actions. His wife ch

Xavier~"I refused to defend your case." I was shocked when I saw her text on my phone. Bella's actions repeatedly shocked me. First, she told me about Alicia having a connection with Jordan; then, she revealed she had a child, and now this. Oh god, please give me the strength to handle all these shocks simultaneously. I sat on the floor and stared at my phone screen with sadness. Now, who will prove my innocence? Only Veronica Luis has agreed to defend me in court, and after reading her message, I feel devastated. Why did I ask her about her personal life and lose control of my emotions? What could be wrong if she continued to move forward in her life? I also moved on in my life with Alicia. Furthermore, Isabella is not to blame for my failed relationship with Alicia. I must apologize to her for my actions and show her respect as my attorney. I started to write her an apology, but my heart refused to accept the fact that she had moved on so easily from her past. I want her in my l

Isabella~"Miss Luis, what are you doing on this deserted road?" He pulled to a stop in front of me and lowered his car window.I gestured for him to look at my car's tire."Oh, but where are you going so early in the morning?" His voice was filled with confusion.Now, how should I inform him that I am planning to meet Jordan Lucas? No, I can't tell him the truth; if I do, he will again force me to answer his petty questions, and I'm not in the mood to argue with him. "I have some important work to complete in an old prison cell." I only partially told him the truth, as I didn't want to reveal my true motivation for visiting the old prison cell outside the city."Do you have spare tires, Miss Luis? " He gave my face a sincere, worried glance. His eyes were only filled with concern for me. Unlike yesterday, there was no sign of desperation in his eyes, and I'm relieved he's stopped calling me Bella."No, Mr. Thompson, I didn't bring my usual car today because I was in such a rush." I

Xavier~"No, I don't know her." I shook my head after much deliberation. I know Jordan's ruthlessness, so I don't want her to become involved in this case any further. Meeting Jordan Lucas could potentially put her life in danger. "Mr. Thompson, could you please explain why you are misleading him? Officer, please allow me to meet Jordan; I am Xavier's lawyer." She requested that we meet Jordan. "Sorry, Miss, I can't allow you to meet him until Xavier accepts you as his lawyer." My friend Denial supported my decision. If I discover the true reason for her visit to the old jail cell, I will not bring her here with me. It's true that last night I desperately wanted her to accompany me to the old prison, but knowing that she came here after leaving her son alone at her house, who was also in a sick condition, makes me feel guilty about telling her about my visit to Jordan. How could she be so stupid that she left her son to meet Jordan? Does she genuinely believe that this case holds

Isabella~"Alan, please don't cry; Mama is coming home." He kept calling me after sitting in Xavier's car, so I answered his call. "Mama, it's evening now, and you haven't returned home yet." He voiced his dissatisfaction with me. "Alan, please don't cry; you are Mama's strong boy." The sound of his tears pierced my chest again. I love him more than anything in the world, and I can't imagine him facing any kind of difficulty. "Please take care of yourself; I'll be returning home in two hours." It wasn't until Xavier offered me tissue paper to wipe my tears that I realized they had fallen on my cheeks. I refused his offer to drop me off at my house because I only wanted to spend time with him for work-related matters. However, as soon as I saw how much rain was falling, I quickly changed my mind, thinking of my son's health. This time, I decided to sit in the passenger seat to keep him from ogling my face in the car's rearview mirror. Heavy clouds obscured the sun, engulfing our s

Xavier~"Alan..." She ran inside her house with tears in her eyes. After hearing her housemaid’s news, she completely lost control of her senses. She threw her mobile and bag on the street, rushing into the house to check on her son. I couldn’t hold myself back from following her inside, concerned about what had happened. I picked up her mobile and purse from the roadside and entered her house without her permission. I knew she didn’t want me here; she didn’t want me to see where she lived, but I couldn’t just stand by while she was this distraught. Her son’s condition and the fact that she had left him alone because of my case weighed on me heavily.I hesitated before entering her hallway, fully aware that no one would welcome me, but my worry overshadowed everything else. The beautifully decorated house made me feel like a trespasser for a moment. Bella had always been precise in everything she did, and this house was no exception. It was full of memories I didn’t know—reflections

Isabella~"Wh...what type of question is this? He is, of course, my son." My voice faltered upon hearing his query. It unfolded in the manner that frightened me the most. I did everything in my power to keep Xavier from seeing my son, but fate had other plans. Xavier eventually became acquainted with my son. "Bella, I am asking who’s the father of Alan." His eyes are filled with suspicion, and his tone is dominating. "Mr. Thompson, please get out of my house immediately. You have no right to inquire about my personal life." I gestured toward the open hall door. "I'll leave when you respond to my questions." His rage was evident in his voice. I am well aware of his dominating nature. He won't leave until I provide him with a satisfactory response. Even if I'm not prepared to handle the situation right now, I must answer his inquiries. "Alan is my son, and his father is out of town. When he gets back, I'll introduce him. It's too late, so please leave my house now." Even after rec

Reclaimed by the Billionaire Chef Xavier
Isabella~"Bella, why are you so silent? You know I'm scared of your silence."Xavier stopped the car in front of our house and looked at me, concern evident in his eyes."I can't live in this house, Xavier. We have to find some other place to live," I unbuckled my seatbelt and turned to face him.His brows furrowed in confusion. "What's wrong with this house, Bella?""He will attack us at any time to remove us from his path. I don't want to take any risks." My heartbeat was still erratic from the near-fatal accident earlier. The image of the truck speeding toward us replayed in my mind like a nightmare.Xavier let out a frustrated sigh. "Sometimes I don't understand you, Bella. On one hand, you're so brave—boldly challenging Jordan Lucas, standing firm in court—and on the other, you're terrified of him?" He held my hand, searching my eyes for an answer.I tightened my grip on his fingers. "No, Xavier. I am not afraid of him. I am afraid of losing you." My voice cracked with emotion.

Xavier~"Bella, let's go." I held her hand and gestured for her to leave the courtroom."I will kill this man," she seethed, clenching her fist as she locked eyes with Andrew."Calm down. Avoid wasting your time on him." I held her wrist tightly, stopping her from following him."Xavier, you surprised me today. Why didn't you tell me about this proof before?" As we sat in the car, she arched a brow at me, suspicion flickering in her eyes."Bella, I didn't hide anything from you. I was also unaware of this evidence; it was a last-minute idea, and I'm pleased it succeeded." I shrugged my shoulders, watching her reaction."Xavier, what are you saying? How is this possible? I saw your confidence in the courtroom—no one could tell this was last-minute." Her eyes widened in disbelief."Mrs. Thompson, Andrew was the one who inspired me to provide this evidence." A small smirk played on my lips."Andrew? How?" She crossed her arms over her chest, demanding an explanation."My blood was boilin
Reclaimed by the Billionaire Xavier's surprise
Isabella~"My lord, Jordan Lucas, killed Victor Thompson and named it as an accident. He not only tried to fool the law but also he once again tried to play with people's feelings and emotions since Victor was not a normal citizen; he was a famous singer. Therefore, I ask that this court sentence Jordan Lucas to death and send him to prison." I stood up from my seat and initiated the opening statement for the defense. The judge listened to my statement and then looked at Andrew to begin the court procedure. "My lord, my colleague Veronica Luis, aka Mrs. Thompson completely forgot that this court is not working based on statements; it needs proof." After giving me a sarcastic glance, Andrew slumped back in his chair. "Prosecutor, provide evidence to support your assertion." The judge motioned for me to present the evidence. After glancing at Jordan Lucas' face, I turned to Xavier and asked him to present the evidence we had gathered. Andrew has already made me angry, so I'm finding

Xavier~"Oh my god, look who's here. The most wanted criminal couple." Andrew walked towards us and looked at us with a mocking-filled gaze. "Andrew, you have a misunderstanding; we didn't kill Alicia." I stopped Bella from explaining anything to him by squeezing her palm as she tried. I know that Jordan Lucas has poisoned his head so much that Andrew will not listen to us at all. "I don't require your lies; save your stories for court sessions." Andrew's venom is making the surroundings so suffocating. "Let's go, Bella; we will visit the place later." I signaled her to leave this place. "But Xavier, we have to inspect this place; we can't leave." Bella protested my decision, but I forcefully made her sit in the car. "You both will run away from the court in tomorrow's hearing." He chuckled darkly as he watched me maneuver my car. "Xavier, why do you always show cowardice and run away from everyone when you have to show courage?" Bella is fuming with anger at seeing me turn the

Isabella~"Isabella, what will we do now? He hated us and thought that we had killed his sister." Xavier's eyes filled with sadness as we watched Andrew leaving the house."Don't be sad. He will eventually discover the truth because it can not remain hidden for long," I comforted him by holding his hand.Victor's death had already shaken Xavier's confidence. He had faced continuous turmoil, and now seeing Andrew—who was once like a younger brother—standing against him shattered him completely. Jordan had poisoned Andrew's mind so much that he didn't even want to listen to us.James, from now on, my family's responsibility is yours. I turned toward James, my eyes pleading with him to protect them in my absence."Don't worry about them, Bella. I will protect them more than my own life," James reassured me."Mama, when will you come to live with us?" Alan's innocent voice tugged at my heart as he waved his tiny hand from the car window."Mama will be here shortly, so don't miss me," I fo

Xavier~"When did he become a lawyer, Bella?" I stared incredulously at the TV screen. "Xavier, I don't have any idea about it." In response, she shrugged her shoulders. When she sees Andrew as Jordan Lucas's defense attorney, she is similarly astounded. "Don't worry about him right now, Xavier. We'll figure this out shortly, but for now, we need to put our family first. They need our support." She grasped my hand and motioned for me to rise from the hospital bench as soon as she saw Dad leaving the doctor's office. "Why were they doing my CT scan while I was perfectly well, Xavier?" Dad cast a wary glance at the doctor. "It was merely a routine checkup, so don't be afraid, Dad." My heart became even heavier after seeing his pitiful condition. "Xavier, I am perfectly fine; please ask this nurse to not put an injection in my body." He holds my hand like a child. Observing his actions now, I comprehend the profound impact Victor's death has had on his mental health. "Dad, don't wo

Isabella~"Mrs. Thompson, you seem to enjoy messing with me, huh?" Jordan grinned as he glanced at the envelope. "Of course, I like to teach a good lesson to those who always take the wrong path to achieve their goals." I glared at him while crossing my arms over my chest. "Alright, then I am ready to accept your challenge. Since your husband has previously lost a case against me, you might also try your luck." His voice carries a mixture of shock and anger. "Jordan, history doesn't repeat itself; occasionally, new events occur to establish a fresh milestone." My heart was blazing with anger as I gazed at him. Upon discovering the details of Victor's accident, I felt a surge of anger. I never expected him to kill Victor so brutally. "Are you okay, Bella?" Xavier approached me as soon as Jordan Lucas left the cemetery. "Yes, I'm all right." I nodded my head. Xavier was examining my body as if I had returned from a war. "Bella, let's go home.: My dad came to me and caressed my ha
Reclaimed by the Billionaire Final goodbye
Xavier~"Stop it, Bella." I tried to stop her by running behind her car, but she ignored my pleadings. I sat on my knees and cried aloud, cradling my face between my palms. "Xavier, please control your emotions. If you break down like this, then who will take care of your family?" James comforted me by placing his hand on my shoulder. "James, I am broken now; it feels difficult for me to recollect my heart's shattered pieces. Victor was not only my younger brother; he was like my child. When our mother passed away, he was just five years old. I failed to keep my promise to my dying mother that I would always look after my younger brother. My mom's soul will curse me for breaking my promise." I wept uncontrollably, resting my head on his shoulder. "Xavier, I can understand your pain, but whatever happened was not your fault." James attempted to comfort me, but I was unable to slow down despite his comforting words. "How can I be relaxed when Jordan Lucas already warned me? How can

Isabella~"Victor, come on, open your eyes; you can't play a prank on me on this special day." I held his hand and asked him to get up, but he didn't move."Look at him, Xavier; he ignored me." I turned to Xavier, my voice trembling with desperation, searching for any sign that this was just a cruel joke."Bella, please control your emotions," Xavier whispered as he pulled me into a hug, but I could feel his own body shaking."Victor, get up! You can't leave me like this!" My cries grew louder, raw with agony as I saw him lying there—so still, so lifeless.A nurse approached Xavier, her voice soft yet firm. "We need your signature here."Xavier's hands shook as he took the papers. "How... how did this happen?" His eyes filled with tears as he gripped the document, unable to believe what he was reading."He was involved in a car accident and was rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, he passed away before we could admit him," the nurse informed him."No, Victor, you can't leave me!
