THE RETURN OF THE DIVORCED BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN
I couldn’t breathe. My hands clenched into fists as I listened to everything she was saying. My stomach twisted in ways I never thought possible.But the next words out of her mouth were what shattered me completely.She let out a devilish laugh. "How am I the bad one, Mara?" she scoffed. "Ashley is just so stupid. The fool doesn’t even realize that the pills she’s been taking all these years have ruined her womb, and she’s still taking them, hoping that they will miraculously heal her. But if only she knew they’ve probably done more damage than just that…"I gasped and couldn’t move from my spot.Memories flashed through my head as I remembered how I always took the pills she was talking about—morning, afternoon, and night—hoping that I would be able to have a child for Lance.I saw the bottle just the other day and wondered why she had it but brushed it off.She told me it was from our mother and was good for fertility.How could she do this?My own blood sister…Hot tears streamed

~~~~LANCE'S POV~~~~There is this quote that says, "Happiness isn't the absence of pain but the triumph over it." After every storm, the sun rises, and after every heartbreak, love finds its way back. I have known darkness, regret, and loss—but today, I choose happiness. I choose the future and not the past.As I stepped out of the bathroom with the towel wrapped around my waist, my eyes landed on a small framed picture on my table. I picked it up, my fingers brushing against the glass.It was me, Bella, and Maya—the photo we took when Bella was discharged from the hospital. I had it framed immediately because I never wanted to forget that moment. The moment of finally becoming whole again.For the first time in years since Maya left me, I truly felt… complete again.Maya and I had come to an understanding. We couldn’t change the past, but we could make sure Bella never felt unloved again. She’s our priority now—our reason to fight through the pain, the misunderstandings, and everythi

~~~~LANCE'S POV~~~I tucked Bella into bed gently, looking at her peacefully sleeping face. It’s surprising how early she had fallen asleep today, as I know her to be a night owl. But I guess it must be because she was too tired, as she had been running around with Lance all day.They had been outside since morning, playing and learning how to ride a bicycle, while I just watched from inside.Lance had told me that he found a lot of things she wanted to do with him, hidden at the back of her teddy, and one of them was to learn how to ride a bike from her dad.And they did it all through the day.Well, there isn't much about me on her list, as she must have made it while she thought Mia was her mother, and it seems she has everything she wished for and every moment she ever wanted with her mother—with Mia.I felt a little sad, but I am still happy that she got all the motherly love she could ever want.That alone should have made me happy, right? But the question she asked me before fa

And then, another picture appeared on the screen.This time, it wasn’t just me.It was us.It was the picture of the day I stepped into his life. The day that he knew that someone like me even existed in this part of the world. In the picture, Lance, who was now drawn in alcohol, sat at a restaurant as he had just been publicly rejected. And there was I, standing before him with a smile on my face. In the picture, his dazed eyes were locked onto me, and the expression on his face was like a savior had been sent to him. That exact moment that I approached him was captured and I wondered how he got the picture.But I noticed that at the bottom of the picture, there was date was written on it. It was May 15 and today… was also May 15.That was what all these are about. The day we met. My body trembled as Lance’s voice broke the silence.“I was a fool.” I was startled at first and quickly turned to him, looking up at him. “I was a fool for not realising my love for you sooner,” he sa

Something feels different this morning.Even the scent on the air was totally different but familiar. I slightly stirred on the bed, turning on my side and as I slowly opened my eyes—the first thing I saw was Lance’s sleeping face. His peaceful, sleeping face was just a mere inches from mine. Oh I see. He's the one. The familiar scent in the air.A soft smile crept onto my lips as I watched him. Right now, he looked totally different and he reminded me of a soft, warm and harmless puppy. And I couldn’t help but admire his face. My gaze travelled over his face, memorizing every details. Starting from the smooth forehead, the gentle curve of his eye brows, the straight bridge of his nose and finally…..his lips.The moment my eyes landed on his lips, my mind wandered back to last night kiss. Not the one in the garden but the one after.A sudden warm spread across my cheeks as I recalled how I tucked Bella to bed again, bid her goodnight, and as I shut her door behind me—i felt a firm

~~~~LANCE’S POV~~~~I felt as if my heart had stopped beating. Time itself even seemed to have frozen around us.Daddy.Mommy.Did I just hear Bella saying that?Others might not know, but those two words alone were not just simple words. They carried a strong weight of emotion and longing that I had silently held onto for so long—words I had dreamed of hearing but never truly believed I deserved.Now she finally said it when I thought it might take a while for her to accept us."What did you just call us?!" we both asked at the same time, eagerly waiting for her to repeat it.I really wanted to hear it again.Bella’s tiny frame stiffened, and I feared we had scared her with the way we both asked at the same time.Then her brown eyes flickered between Maya and me as she said, "I… I said good morning, Daddy. Good morning, Mom."My heart swelled like a balloon that was ready to burst, as I heard that again.Tears burned in my eyes as I took in the sight of our little girl standing there

As she heard her mother's voice, Maya’s body tensed immediately, and without even thinking, she stepped toward Bella, ready to take the phone away from her.But before she could reach her, I caught her wrist and pulled her back."It’s okay," I whispered, my lips brushing against her hair."No, it's not. She might—""She won't say things that will make her lose another chance to seek your forgiveness. So let’s give her another chance. The same way you did for me." My voice was quiet but firm.Maya was still hesitant, the war raging inside her was visible in the way her jaw clenched."Please," I added, squeezing her hand.She exhaled sharply, and her body slowly relaxed against me. But I could still feel the anger simmering beneath her skin."Hello, child. How are you? Are you feeling better now?""Yes, I am. Thank you for asking." Bella responded politely, though I could see the confusion in her eyes.It seemed her call wasn’t a surprise to us only but also to Bella. I could tell she w

~~~~MAYA'S POV~~~Stepping into the bathing tub, the warm water sprinkled out from the showers, cascading over my body. I used my hand to push my already wet hair backwards as I raised my face, letting the water pour over me.I smiled as I remembered how happy I had been for the past three days here. Yes, we have spent three whole days here, and today was the fourth day.And it's been amazing so far.I love it all and wish it would never stop. I don't know why, but I sometimes feel weird, or should I say, I am anxious that my heart suddenly begins to beat faster. And this is all because I am afraid of losing this newly found happiness of mine.It came so much easier than I expected, and I am afraid it will fade away easily as well.But I pray such never happens and wish all the sad days are gone.Stepping out of the shower onto the plush bathroom mat, I picked up a fluffy white towel from the hanger and wrapped it around my body, then walked out of the bathroom into the bedroom.I too

~~~LANCE'S POV~~~Tapping my feet against the tiled floor, I checked my watch for what felt like the hundredth time. It had been four hours and seventeen minutes since Bryan and I had been sitting here in the doctor's office after bringing in the man whom they had mysteriously found on my property.I was still surprised by how exactly he got whisked there because the man I saw didn't look like someone who could afford a boat or yacht to bring him to my penthouse.And with his condition, I didn't think he could swim either. When Bryan and Bella found him, he was in bad shape, with blood trickling from his nose, ear, and mouth.We had no idea what was wrong with him, so we called the emergency line, which sent the fastest boat here and took him away while we followed on my own."I still can't figure out how he got there," I said, more to myself than to Bryan. "The property is completely surrounded by water. The bridges are monitored. There's no way someone just wandered onto the island
