Rejected by the Tycoon Unexpected Proposal
BeatriceAfter bidding farewell to my cousin, I closed the door and leaned against it, lost in thoughts about what Sebastian had said regarding Edward sending him away, insinuating that it was motivated by jealousy. It seemed absurd, especially considering that our marriage had been based solely on a contract.Even now, I still struggled to believe Edward's declarations of love, after everything we had been through together and the way he had treated me during our time married.Absorbed in my thoughts and still leaning against the front door, I was surprised by the sound of the doorbell in the living room, which intrigued me, as Sebastian had barely left. I deduced it could only be him returning, so I stepped away from the door and opened it with a smile.“Edward?" I spoke
Rejected by the Tycoon A Fresh Start
BeatriceI feel a warm, firm body next to me in bed, and even though I'm already awake, I keep my eyes closed, just to enjoy a little more of the intimacy of this good moment.“You've been so lazy lately," I hear Edward's amused voice, still husky from sleep. "It's already past eight o'clock, dear."That information catches me completely off guard, and I open my eyes immediately, truly startled by the lateness of the hour.“I can't believe it!” I say hurriedly, trying to get up.Edward, however, holds my hands and stops the movement, keeping me captive in his warm embrace, close to his soft and wonderfully cozy body.“We still have some time," he says, and I feel h
Rejected by the Tycoon Separate
AndrewAfter spending several weeks away from London, I was eager to return to familiar things, especially to be close to Beatrice. So, I decided to take some time for myself and spend a few days at home.To be honest with myself, the main reason for this decision was the fact that I could no longer talk to Beatrice the way we used to when I left London. I felt like she was distancing herself from me more each day, which deeply worried me. I decided to act before this distance became irreparable.I didn't even bother to pack; I just came with the clothes I was wearing. It never crossed my mind that the reason for her sudden absence could be a reconciliation with her ex-husband. When I called and she didn't answer or took a long time to reply to my messages, I assumed she was working hard to get the long-awaited promotion at the newspaper, and I greatly admired her effort. However, I was mistaken. That morning, I had arrived at work by taxi, and as I got out of the vehicle, I came acr
Rejected by the Tycoon He Dominates Me
BeatriceI had been feeling terrible since the conversation with Andrew in the morning, and nothing managed to distract me from the guilt that haunted me all day. I ran my hands through my hair and then brought them to my face, hiding it from myself, as I was alone in the small room."What am I doing with my life?" I murmured to the walls. "How can I be so... foolish!"I was angry with myself for always letting Edward influence me. Even though I still loved him, I shouldn't let myself be convinced so easily.I couldn't stand staying in that room tormenting myself anymore and decided that taking advantage of the fact that there was only half an hour left until the end of the workday, I would leave immediately.With the decision made, I jumped out of the chair, my irritation reaching its peak. After grabbing my bag, I hurriedly left the room. I wouldn't wait for Edward to come pick me up. I wouldn't allow him to provoke more tension, in case Andrew also met us at the newspaper's exit.I
Rejected by the Tycoon He Controls Me
BeatriceThe next morning, the first thing I do when I wake up is call Janet. Even though I don't want to bother my friend or ruin her happiness with my problems, I need her help today, and I'm sure she won't object to what I have in mind. After a few rings, Janet picks up the call, and I sigh in relief to hear her usual cheerful tone. We talk for a bit, and she tells me about little Archie, and how he's getting smarter and healthier every day. When she asks me how things are, I tell her the truth about how confused I am with everything that's happening."You can count on my help, Beatrice," Janet says after hearing what I planned to do that day."I'm glad you can help me, Janet," I reply, truly relieved.As agreed, Edward arrives to pick me up at the usual time and greets me in
Rejected by the Tycoon Important Decision
BeatriceEven though it was already lunchtime, I decided to go to Lucy's office, perhaps I would still find her at her workplace. I had an important work-related doubt that needed to be resolved.Upon arriving at where her desk was located, I found the space empty. I was about to immediately return to the hallway when I noticed some voices coming from the slightly ajar door of Mr. Smith's office. I quickly identified them as the voices of Lucy and our boss, who seemed to be having a conversation. I couldn't just stand there, because if Lucy returned to her desk and saw me listening behind the door, she might misinterpret my presence.However, upon hearing my name mentioned by Mr. Smith, I became completely attentive to their conversation."You also inform t
Rejected by the Tycoon Conflicts
BeatriceI hurriedly walked to the station until I reached the place where I had arranged to meet my best friend. I could see her from a distance; she seemed to be looking around, as if searching for something or someone, sitting on one of the benches near the boarding platform.When she saw me, Janet immediately stood up and hugged me as if she hadn't seen me in days."It's great that you're here," she said, her hug tight.We stepped back, and I smiled to indicate that everything was okay, despite everything."You're so dramatic," I joked. "We spoke less than ten minutes ago.""How are you dealing with all of this?" Janet's face showed concern.
Rejected by the Tycoon A Coward
EdwardWith the firm conviction that our trip to Paris would resolve the issues between Beatrice and me, I parked the car as close as possible to her workplace. However, upon arrival, I didn't find her waiting for me as I had anticipated.Doubt began to creep into my mind. Had she overslept, or was she caught up in some last-minute revision? After a few minutes of waiting with no sign of Beatrice at the building entrance, I decided to step out of the car and start searching for her whereabouts.When I finally reached the floor where my wife worked, I informed the receptionist that I was there to meet her. However, her words left me perplexed."Miss Phillips left a few hours ago, sir," she informed me."It's Mrs. Maddock," I corrected

He continued to be the man I always wished for by my side, and his dedication only confirmed that the disappointments of the past were definitively overcome.Our routine was cozy, and seeing our children grow up happy and content filled my heart with joy and fulfillment.

Rejected by the Tycoon New Loves
AndrewAccepting the invitation to dinner at Beatrice and Edward's house was a sudden decision. I felt hesitant, but at the same time, intrigued by the opportunity to rekindle the friendship that had been shaken by emotional issues.Talking extensively with Beatrice in the preceding days brought much-needed clarity. I realized that the weight of trying to win the love of a woman still in love with her ex-husband was a mistake. The friendship with Beatrice, after all, was much more valuable than any unrequited romantic desire.Upon arriving at Beatrice and Maddock's house, I noticed the presence of Abigail, Edward's sister. An inexplicable nervousness seized me, arousing my curiosity. We exchanged glances, and a subtle tension hung between us, something I admit I did not overlook.
Rejected by the Tycoon Overflowing Happiness
BeatriceWe conversed animatedly during dinner, reminiscing about stories and sharing laughter. I looked at my husband, that beautiful man now entirely dedicated to my needs, reflecting on how much our lives had changed since the day I left that house, determined to forget a year of rejection I lived with Edward and pretend that I no longer loved him when in reality, my love for him only grew each day."While Timothy is almost a young man, Archie is just a baby, and Beatrice is pregnant, soon she'll also have her baby in her arms," Sebastian commented suggestively, looking at Elizabeth, and we all eagerly awaited to hear what he would say next, with smiles of anticipation on our faces. "I also want to have a baby, my love."He didn't disappoint us. We all found what he said very funny, and Elizabeth tu
Rejected by the Tycoon A Special Help
BeatriceToday I woke up with uncontained joy in my heart. As I got ready for work, I found myself smiling at the mirror, my hands gently caressing the slight swell of my belly. I was radiant, feeling a deep connection with the little being growing inside me.Upon arriving at the office, I was greeted with warm wishes from colleagues and friends. Everyone noticed my good mood, and I couldn't help but share the news of my pregnancy with them. Each smile and congratulations made my day even more special.I was heading back to my office after a meeting when I nearly bumped into Andrew. I hadn't seen him in weeks. The way he had exited my life had left me hurt and confused. However, upon seeing him again, I felt a strange calm in his presence."Hello, Beatrice,
Rejected by the Tycoon A Special Gift
BeatriceDespite everything that had happened between us, my heart insisted that I should trust Edward. I decided to trust him in the same way he trusted me. And so, with the security of his love and confidence in his loyalty, I shared about my pregnancy. His happiness was so evident that there was no room to doubt his feelings."We should tell Timothy," Edward said with remarkable enthusiasm."I'll pick him up from school with you," I said, equally excited. "And together, we can share this news with him."Edward agreed immediately, shutting down his computer and grabbing his work folder. We walked together toward the door. Passing by Edward's secretary, I briefly recounted what had happened when I arrived at his office that afternoon."Who are you calling?" I asked, surprised to see him dialing a number on his phone.Edward just waved his hand, asking me for a moment, but he hugged me, keeping me close to his body while making the mysterious call."Mrs. Steve? Yes, it's me," Edward s
Rejected by the Tycoon The Last Chance
EdwardDespite Beatrice choosing a safe distance between us, the fact that we were willing to clarify everything left me satisfied."I haven't spoken to or seen Louise for months, Beatrice, since that night at the restaurant when we reunited, and she acted rudely and disrespectfully toward you. Something I could never forgive."Beatrice seemed about to interrupt me, opening and closing her mouth several times but managed to stay silent, so I continued with my explanation."Today, Louise showed up at my company unannounced, and I received her as I would with any acquaintance because that's exactly what she is to me now," I made a point to emphasize that. "She was seeking strong sponsorship for her modeling career, and apparently, her finances aren't doing well. She thought appealing to me and our history would be a good idea.""And it seems like it worked," Beatrice interrupted with visible irritation. "You were about to kiss each other."I took a deep breath and struggled to keep calm
Rejected by the Tycoon Unpleasant Surprise
BeatriceTo my complete horror, Edward wasn't alone in the room, and the scene before me was, in fact, highly compromising. I was speechless, as I didn't expect to find Louise Orleans in my husband's office."What's going on here, Edward!?"Edward and Louise were standing face to face, with her hands clasping my husband's neck, and he was holding her hands with his own. I was bewildered. What exactly was happening there? Were they about to kiss? The scene denoted an unacceptable level of intimacy."It's not what you're thinking, Beatrice," Edward quickly distanced himself from Louise, removing her hands from around his neck. "Louise was just leaving, right, Louise?"Edward looked at Louise quite eloquently, sugg

EdwardI left home that morning with a wonderful sense of peace and well-being after a family breakfast. Timothy was also radiant."Tell me more about your mother, Timothy. I want to get to know the woman who raised you so wonderfully well. Never forget how special you are to us, Beatrice and me."During the drive to school, Timothy shared emotionally charged details about his mother and life in Kyiv before the war reached the city.When I parked the car in front of the school, Timothy's words deeply surprised me."And I'll be very happy if our family grows, and I get a little brother like Archie."Beatrice and I had never discussed children before; after all, our ma

BeatriceTimothy was ecstatic about the idea of moving to Edward's mansion, which only strengthened my confidence in the decision. Edward invited us to visit the house the next day, keeping the reason for the visit a secret, which made me anxious.When we arrived at Edward's house the next morning, I didn't see anything out of the ordinary that could catch my attention or be the surprise he intended to show us. However, when he led Timothy and me to the first floor of the house, we finally discovered what he had planned."Wow!" Timothy exclaimed, covering his mouth with his hand, his eyes shining with admiration."How beautiful!" I said, equally enchanted.Once again, Edward managed to touch my heart, breaking down the barriers I had
