Return Of The Billionaire's Soulmate Chapter 42: Pretence.
UNKNOWN WAREHOUSESeveral young men were busy hauling boxes and organizing them when the sound of approaching footsteps reached their ears. Instantly alert, they each moved toward their designated hiding spots, weapons concealed on their bodies. But as they turned, guns raised and ready, their arms quickly lowered when they saw who had entered."Boss," they greeted at once, their voices filled with respect and fear.The man took slow, deliberate steps, his eyes scanning the room with a smug expression. He approached a nearby gun, picked it up, and examined it. After blowing a cold breath across the barrel, he chuckled."Who handled the job with the kid Emilio?" he asked, his voice calm but dangerous. Three men hesitantly raised their hands. The boss settled into a chair, crossing his legs as he stared at them with an amused smirk."I told you to kidnap the boy to lure Alexander Skarsgard to his death. I was supposed to swoop in, save the kid, and get closer to the boy's mother. But wh

Jake opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. It had been a long time since he’d been this speechless. He watched as Alexander stood up from his swivel chair and began pacing the room."The last time I was this speechless was back in high school when our math teacher threw an equation at me. I never thought I’d find myself this stunned at thirty," he remarked, still struggling to believe the situation. He turned to Alexander, who had his hands shoved deep into his pockets."Can you do me a favor?" Alexander asked."What kind of favor can you ask when you’re already doing yourself a favor?" Jake replied with a chuckle. He was surprised that Alexander would go to such lengths just for Marianne, a girl he had always cared less about throughout their lives."Could you please keep this a secret? It’ll only be for a short while... If I can’t win her back with this plan, I’ll leave San Diego for good and won’t look for her again," Alexander stated. Jake let out a laugh, but Alexande
Return Of The Billionaire's Soulmate Chapter 44: Deal?
As soon as Marianne stepped into the restaurant, Michael approached her, carrying Emilio in his arms. Relief washed over her when she saw they were both safe.“Has anyone contacted the police? What exactly happened?” Marianne asked, but Michael shook his head, indicating he had no idea.“It all happened so quickly... I was outside when it occurred, but I really don’t know the full details,” Michael admitted. Marianne gently caressed her son’s cheek.“You must have been terrified,” she said softly, running her fingers through his hair. At that moment, the blare of police sirens echoed through the area."Michael, I don’t think it’s safe for you to stay here... What if—”“Based on what Emilio said—” Michael started to explain, but Marianne cut him off.“What did Emilio say?” she asked, her tone serious as she turned to face her five-year-old son. His small voice cut through the air.“Those were the people who kidnapped me and made Uncle Alexander the way he is now," Emilio said, leaving

A lengthy silence hung between them, with Sophia not uttering a word on her end. Vincent smirked, then pressed on."Don’t you want to win Jayson Williams back?" he inquired, turning away from the balcony to lean against the railing. "I could tell you’re still into him, that’s how I discovered you’re his ex. Or should I say, still his girlfriend?" He didn’t really expect a reply."What does that have to do with you? Is there something you want from me? Or is your woman with my Jay now?" she shot back, and this time, it was Vincent who fell silent."You and I don’t know each other, but it’s absurd for you to call me about such a joke, darling. Just so you know, I can always have Jayson back without any assistance because he’s mine, and he always will be," she said, her tone dripping with confidence."Your girlfriend can have her fun for now—he's got a big d*ck. It’s the kind that makes any woman want him for good. So watch out, she might not want to let him go. But as for me? I won’t co

Marianne and Alexander climbed into the car, and a brief silence enveloped them for a few seconds before Alexander broke the quiet."Are you sure you're fit to go out? We can always pick another day," he suggested, glancing over at her. She met his gaze and offered a small smile."I want to go today," she replied, her eyes lingering on his face. How was he so effortlessly handsome? It sent a flutter through her heart."I feel like staying out with you today... just you and me," she muttered, biting her lip and realizing how cringe that felt before looking away. Marianne knew that in difficult times like this, having Alexander next to her always made her feel at ease. A small smile escaped Alexander's lips at her words as he started the car.It was going to be a long night, so he was sure they had more than enough time to enjoy each other's company like they used to.******Michael's clenched fists slowly loosened as Dylan kissed him with both passion and something else he couldn't qui

"Huh?" she exclaimed, her mind drifting off to something else. What did he mean by “sleep together”? She wouldn’t deny that her thoughts had wandered elsewhere. Alexander couldn’t help but chuckle at her flushed cheeks; she had clearly misinterpreted what he meant.“It’s not what you think,” he said, pressing his lips together to stifle a laugh. “I meant we should share a bed. When did your mind get so dirty?” He watched as she blinked rapidly, silently scolding herself for indulging in such bizarre thoughts.“Who says my mind is dirty? Do you really think I can’t sleep next to you? We did it all the time back then, so why would I think anything inappropriate now?” She scoffed, moving to the other side of the bed and lying down with her back to him. She bit her lip hard, squeezing her eyes shut, knowing he had a point."We can also do what's on your mind if you don't mind," she heard him say, and she quickly turned to face him. She was startled to find him so close. How did he get to
Return Of The Billionaire's Soulmate Chapter 48: Are you that In love With me?
It was just midnight, but Jayson couldn’t sleep. A restless energy coursed through him, and though he couldn’t quite explain why, he knew something felt off. Marianne seemed more distant lately, and despite all his efforts, he couldn’t reach her.Was it a mistake to love her, knowing she still held onto the man who abandoned her five years ago? Was first love really as powerful as people claimed? For most of his life, he’d never believed in it—until Marianne came along and forced him to reconsider."I can't just stand by anymore. Marianne is meant to be mine. I’ve waited long enough, endured enough, and I won’t let Alex take her from me," Jayson vowed. Yet, in the back of his mind, he was scared. But knowing Marianne was no longer the same woman she had been brought him a small sense of relief.“I’m sorry, Marianne. Don’t hold it against me if I do something reckless,” he whispered to himself, pacing towards the living room, hoping to distract his restless mind. The thought of Mariann
Return Of The Billionaire's Soulmate Chapter 49: I've always loved Alexander.
Jake had already gotten Emilio ready for school and was now waiting for his mom and Alexander to show up so they could all head out together. Since Jake needed to be at his family's company soon, he glanced at the clock and noticed it was already past 8 a.m., causing him to let out a frustrated sigh.“I don’t think your parents realize they’re supposed to take you to school,” Jake muttered, turning to face Emilio, who was watching him.“Don’t even ask me why I said ‘your parents,’ okay? I have no clue how to explain that to you,” Jake added, trailing off awkwardly.“I wasn’t going to ask,” Emilio cut in, taking a casual bite from the cookie Jake had handed him earlier. “My mom said she’ll explain everything when I’m older, so I’m not really that curious. Besides, having two dads isn’t bad. They’re both wealthy and honorable men,” he finished proudly.Jake gave him a nod, followed by a thumbs-up. “Yeah, yeah, must be nice. Both your dads are pretty loaded.”Shaking his head with a smal

"Mhm... Jake..."Charlotte’s breathy moan pulled Jake out of the moment, and he broke the kiss, his mind snapping back to reality. He silently cursed himself, frustrated at how close he’d come to losing control.“No... this isn’t right. We can’t do this,” he murmured, his breathing still ragged as he tried to pull away. But Charlotte held onto him, shaking her head in quiet refusal.“I want you, Jake. I know you want this, too… don’t hold back… please.” She cradled his face in her hand, leaning in to kiss him again, but he turned his face away.He moved to stand up from the bed, but Charlotte pulled him back, this time straddling him. Without warning, she claimed his lips again, kissing it hungrily as her hips grinded yearningly on his hard member, igniting the desire he’d tried so hard to restrain.That was it—that was all it took for the last of his self-control to vanish.Jake grabbed one of her ass cheeks, pulling her closer as he deepened the kiss. Charlotte’s fingers worked quic

“Alex… you’re hurting me!” Elena gasped, her voice strained and shaky. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she struggled against his grip, but her efforts were in vain.Her face turned an alarming shade of red as she felt herself slipping towards unconsciousness—until a small, frightened voice broke through the tense silence.“Mommy!” Hailey cried, her eyes wide with fear and brimming with tears as she took in the upsetting scene.The sound jolted Alexander back to reality, and he immediately released Elena. She collapsed onto the floor, coughing as she struggled to catch her breath. Alexander stared at his own trembling hands, his chest tight with shock and shame at what he’d done.“Mommy!” Hailey’s voice was thick with worry as she rushed to Elena’s side.Elena forced a smile, steadying her breathing. “I'm okay,” she assured her, reaching out and gently stroking Hailey’s hair, though Hailey didn’t look convinced.Turning to Alexander with tear-filled eyes, Hailey spoke in a trembling
Return Of The Billionaire's Soulmate Chapter 84: Father and Daughter.
“Daddy?” Alexander called in disbelief, turning to look at Elena with a questioning gaze. "What is the meaning of all this, Elena?"He glanced briefly at the little girl, squatting down before her and gently patting her hair, a smile tugging at his lips. She was truly the same age as Emilio, but it made no sense that Elena had been pregnant with him and had even given birth to his child without him knowing.Elena shrugged. “I just wanted my daughter to finally meet her father. It’s always been one of her wishes.” She smiled, looking at Hailey, who was beaming.Alexander’s gaze shifted from the little girl to Elena, his frown deepening. “What are you talking about?”“I knew you’d act this way.” Elena began, rummaging through her bag before pulling out a piece of paper. “This proves that Hailey is your daughter.” She tossed the paper at Alexander’s face.Gasps and murmurs rippled through the crowd as guests exchanged disappointed looks with Alexander.“How could Alexander do something l
Return Of The Billionaire's Soulmate Chapter 83: The birthday surprise.
Marianne returned home alone since Jayson had taken Emilio out for a bit. She wanted to get ready.It was her birthday, and though she didn’t have any extravagant plans, she still wanted to make an effort. She’d likely spend the evening with her son or maybe with Alexander. Tonight, she intended to look her absolute best, revealing a side of her beauty she usually kept hidden. Her goal was to leave Alexander breathless, to make him regret ever leaving and wish he’d come back sooner.After a relaxing bath, she carefully selected a beautiful outfit and applied a light touch of makeup—just enough to enhance her natural features, as she wasn’t one for heavy makeup.When she finished, she took a moment to look at herself in the mirror and chuckled softly.“Look at the beauty Alex let go of five years ago… He must have been blind,” she murmured, with a smile.She picked up her phone and dialed Jayson’s number, wanting to make sure Emilio was dressed up for the evening, too.The phone rang,

“Mom will listen to you, all right?” Marianne whispered as she wrapped her son in a warm hug, gently running her fingers through his hair. She was determined to follow his instincts. Beyond wanting to make him happy by fulfilling his wish, she trusted that Emilio wouldn’t say such a thing unless he truly meant it. “Don’t worry, he won’t work here,” Marianne reassured Emilio before pulling away from the hug. She cupped his face tenderly, bringing it close to hers before planting a kiss on his forehead. "Does that make you happy now?" she added. He nodded, blinking away the tears that had gathered in his eyes. Marianne stood up and approached Jayson and Donovan, a small, apologetic smile playing on her lips. Donovan watched her expectantly as he waited for her to speak. “Van, I’m really sorry, but I can’t—” “You’re not giving me the job because a kid said so?” Donovan interrupted, his expression sincere but filled with disbelief. Marianne felt a spark of annoyance at the way he re

"I bet you're missing Michael, Jake, and Alex," Vincent said as he walked into the restaurant with Charlotte, catching Marianne’s attention.It had been nearly a month since they all left. Alexander had accompanied Jake to China for a business meeting as promised, while Michael had been busy with his music career, reaching out only when his schedule allowed."Charlotte, you're here," Marianne said warmly, waving as Charlotte returned a faint smile and searched for a seat. Marianne moved to the counter to grab a drink for her."I'm afraid all I can offer right now is milk," Marianne said apologetically. Charlotte waved it off with a smile, indicating it was fine. Marianne sat down across from her, watching in silence as Charlotte took a sip."So..." Marianne began, hesitating. "Are you still not over Jake?" The question made Charlotte choke on her drink, causing her to cough. Marianne quickly leaned forward, gently patting her back."You noticed that too?" Vincent interjected, and Mari

After dropping Marianne off at her apartment, Alexander, who initially planned to head straight to Jake’s, decided instead to make a stop at the hospital where he had taken a test earlier that day.Once there, he exchanged a polite greeting with the doctor and collected the physical copy of his results. Without saying a word or listening to what the doctor had to say, he left the hospital and returned to his car, now heading to Jake's house.Arriving at Jake’s, he keyed in the access code and stepped inside. He spotted Grandma Emma preparing to head to bed and offered her a warm goodnight.“Xander…” Grandma Emma called out, just as Alexander was about to enter Jake’s room. He paused and walked over to hear what she wanted to share.“Aren’t you going to be honest with Jake? You’re close friends, but the two of you couldn’t be more different. He never takes anything seriously,” she said.“Grandma, you know how Jake is. He hates being pushed into things. If you don’t pressure him, he’ll

Alexander released a deep sigh, shutting his eyes momentarily as if to control his anger. Just then, Elena’s call came through, and he picked up without delay.“What’s this nonsense you sent me?” Alexander asked, his voice composed, though Elena only responded with a laugh.“Still so calm after everything? Don’t you realize Marianne is just trying to manipulate you by claiming the boy is yours? Why can’t you see that?” she said, her voice growing sharper.“You’ve been acting incredibly foolish, Lena,” he replied, massaging his temples slowly. “I didn’t know you were taking extra lessons in stupidity,” he added, prompting a grin from Elena on the other end.“Well, the girl who majored in stupidity and even got a master’s took Emilio’s hair sample to confirm if he’s really yours. And guess what? Don’t get too excited, darling. The kid might look like you, but he’s not yours. And just so you know, your daughter will be coming to visit as soon as her school break starts,” Elena said, maki

Winter stood in the kitchen, watching Marianne move effortlessly as she prepared dinner. The party had ended about an hour ago, and now they wanted to eat something before going to bed.The aroma of simmering sauce filled the air, but Winter’s thoughts were elsewhere. She couldn’t stop thinking about Michael and the other guy she had seen him with.“Anne…” she called softly.“Hmm?” Marianne replied, not taking her eyes off the task at hand.“You and that guy... I mean, the celebrant. You both seem close,” Winter said, trying to sound casual, though her words came out more pointed than she intended.Marianne’s hands paused briefly, the knife hovering over the cutting board. She turned her gaze toward Winter, not surprised, just tired, as if this conversation had been inevitable.“Michael’s with Dylan,” Marianne said quietly.“It’s not like I didn’t notice. They seem close, sure. But that’s not what I’m asking,” Winter replied.“If you’re thinking anything stupid, you should drop it. He
