Chapter 12: Caring Visit

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-01-19 10:25:09

Edward POV

I was lost in complete shock. My Nessa got into an accident? How on earth did that happen.

Was she with Liam?

Are they both safe?

I need urgent answers. Feeling restless while seated in the car, I browse through my phone.

Fuck.

She had sent me some texts already. Why didn't my PA tell me. I place a call to Liam's school. He's still there. I need to get him first before going to see Nessa.

I feel so upset about this. Was it a set up? I'd loose myself if anything happens to her.

"Drive faster Xavier. This is urgent." I yelled at my driver with hopes to hasten him up. I also texted my private investigator. There's a lot of work to be done.

***

Vanessa POV

The sounds of police and ambulance sirens echoed in my head as my eyes slowly drifted open. An immediate sharp pain around my head followed, with a feeling of a bandage, wrapped around it.

Where was I?

My eyeballs moved a little, scanning the location. I am in a hospital, lying flat on a bed, with my left arm connected to a drip.

It's a miracle I made it out of that scenario alive, but the last thing I remember is a gun being pointed to my head.

I need to be out of here. Liam's still in school. Who's going to—

"Princess? Thank God you're awake." Daniel's voice filled my ears as he strolled into the room with two nurses. Edward wasn't here but at least he was.

"Daniel? How did find me?" I asked curiously, trying to sit up on the bed but I was instantly stopped by a severe back pain that followed my movement.

"Careful." Daniel said, rushing to hold me as his hands guided me in sitting upright.

"I called 911 like you said and they traced the call to your location. Thank God you didn't hang up."

He is so thoughtful and kind. What if I wasn't speaking to him when it happened?

"I appreciate you Daniel, but what exactly happened to me? And where's the strange guy who drove the car?"

"You were involved in an accident Miss Coleman." A nurse cut in, explaining things to me.

"It was very severe but somehow you managed to survive without any fatal injuries."

Oh wow. What a crazy day.

"And the guy?" I asked more intensely. I needed to know.

"You were the only one in the crash when we got there. It's almost like he escaped." Daniel added, motioning towards me to sit beside the bed.

"That's exactly what he did. My car was hijacked by a fake. He was a strange man I'd never seen before in my life." I complained, feeling a little tired and dizzy from the whole conversation.

Daniel moved to sit on the bed with me, and he stretched out his hands, entwining them with mine.

I looked up to him and the instant connection with his eyes brought a calm to my mind.

"Relax princess, everything will be fine. What matters now is your recovery." He assured, almost making me feel like nothing bad ever happened.

His right hand moved to the side table picking up a bouquet of the most gorgeous pink roses I'd ever seen.

Who was this man?

"This is for you. I had planned to give you tonight during our date but I want you to have them now"

Daniel West. I'd throw my arms around you and kiss you if my head wasn't hurting so bad.

I took the bouquet, reveling in the sight of amazing colors and the wonderful scent.

"This is so thoughtful of you Daniel, you're an amazing—

My words trailed off, sighting Liam and Edward as they emerged from the door.

"Mommy!" Liam yelled running into the room to embrace me. He looked sad to see me this way. Tears began forming in his eyes. My sweet boy. I missed you but this is bad timing. Daniel didn't know about him yet. I looked in his direction. He stood up, his smile quickly switching to a frown at the sight of Edward.

Edward walked in, staring at me as he got closer to the bed. He signaled the nurses to leave.

"I'm Sorry Nessa." He whispered, a look of pity visible on his face for seeing me in this condition. It's Almost like he wanted to embrace me but he's holding back.

He turned to face Daniel who was speechless at the sight of Liam. He didn't need any explanation, it was very clear he was Edward's son from just the appearance and he called me mommy.

"Why are you here West? What do you want?"

Edward questioned Daniel, moving his gaze towards him.

"That's none of your business. In fact I was leaving."

Daniel replied picking his coat from the table in attempts to walk out.

"Daniel please don't go," I asked using the little strength I had in my left arm to hold his wrist.

He looked at me, feeling betrayed.

"Why did you keep this from me Vanessa? " he asked.

"Because it's none of your fucking business West, now get out!" Edward yelled at him.

"Edward, don't talk to him like that!" I warned, detaching the drip from my left hand so I could get off the bed.

"Don't tell me what to do Nessa, you don't even know this guy. What if he's behind the accident? How did he know you were here? I'm just looking out for you."

I didn't like the fact that Liam was here to witness all this chaos, so I sent him out to go sit with the nurses.

Now back to these men.

"Edward I told you about the driver switch first but guess who was there for me? Daniel. If it wasn't for him who knows what would have happened to me."

"I wasn't with my phone when you texted. I'll explain everything later. But he shouldn't be here"

“Neither should you Edward. All you do is complicate things. You don't deserve her." Daniel said angrily facing Edward with annoyance written on his face.

"You don't know anything about Nessa and I. I'm 10 times the man you'll ever be"

"Is that what you think? You're so entitled and full of yourself, Edward, just like old times."

Fighting the pain, I got up in attempts to separate them. There's too much bad blood, and what does Daniel mean by old times?

"Enough!" I yelled even higher this time, walking towards them, despite the sharp feeling from my back that caused me to crouch in pain.

“Ah" I yelled, moving back to the bed for support. Edward reached for me by the waist.

I was very upset with him, all I wanted was to push him away and clear things with Daniel.

Edward fetched the nurses and they came in.

"You need to be on bed rest for at least 3 days till you can get better miss Coleman." One of the nurses told me.

Daniel remained silent and used this opportunity to leave without saying a word.

My stomach turned with nervousness.

Why did events in my life feel so chaotic?

Was I going to loose Daniel too?

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 13: pieces of the puzzle

    Vanessa POV The faint aroma of the pink flowers Edward had set in a vase on the kitchen counter blended with the smell of roast chicken as it spread into the living room. Sunlight poured through the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows as I lay in a warm blanket on the plush couch with my head resting on a pillow. The accident still hurt my body, but the bruises were getting better, and the bandages on my head were about to come off. Every employee at the mansion, including the gardeners and maids, was momentarily removed to be questioned about the accident. For all we know it could have been anyone. "Look, mommy! Check out what I got from Edward!” I was interrupted by Liam's eager voice. His smile might have illuminated the entire mansion as he rushed into the room with a bright red toy race vehicle. Wincing a little at the tug in my lower back, I managed a small grin and sat up straighter. Even though my chest was constricted, I murmured, "That's a really cool car, sweethea

    Vanessa POVThe air smelt like lavender flowers in the beautiful garden. I sat on the picnic mat, dressed in a mini sundress and entwined in Edward’s arms. My giggles and laughter echoed out of me as he tickled my body. His sexy grin, very alluring and full of mischief made it almost impossible for me to be annoyed. “Alright fine. You win!” I screamed cheerfully managing to push his hands away as I escaped from his embrace. I got up from the mat and spun around in excitement. Edward leaned back on his elbows and crossed his legs, watching me with those piercing blue eyes that saw right through my soul. “Nessa,” he spoke, calling to me softly with a hint of sudden seriousness in his tone. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.” I froze, eyes lighting up as I walked back to the mat and positioned my self on top of him. “Oh yeah? Not even when you won the gambling lottery last week?” I asked, raising my eyebrows as I joked. Edward laughed, shaking his head in opposition. “Th

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 15: A fractured Bond

    Vanessa POVThe body guards won’t let me out of their sight, so I pleaded for 20 minutes of space before they came looking for me again. Daniel had given me the address to his company earlier, so I planned to confront him there.When I got to the entrance, the site of the company label boldly written over the high rise roof came to view. “Westborne Inc.” I said the name, walking into what felt like another world. The interior looked very modern, sleek and exotic. Everything shined like it was just newly polished and it made the ambience more appealing. I adjusted the hem of my pink dress, letting the soft silk press against my skin. It’s part of the dresses I bought on the afternoon of the accident. The corset waist held me firmly, extenuating my curves. I paired it with nude heels that caused the marble floors to click as I made my way to the receptionist. Earlier, I pulled my red hair into a slick back low bun. I was finally able to style my hair again after the head bandages we

The bald hitman who tried to harm Vanessa. His wrists were tightly tied behind him as he sat in a way that caused him to slouch on his chair.Glancing at him, you’d think he was full of fight. But my senses knew there was fear in his eyes and a tremble coming from his lips.Leaning against the table, I rolled my office sleeves up, adjusting my cuff links too. Then I focused my stares at him proper. Jonathan, my private investigator was right beside me, sharpening two blades in his hands. He did it so randomly, like a pro.He always had his cunning way of making people talk without uttering a word. His death stares were very intense, it almost made me feel sorry for whoever ended dup in that iron chair.“Do you know who I am?” I began lowly, my voice entwined with havoc. “Let’s move from intro

    Susan POVIt felt so good to have some sex after all the time of denial. Edward wasn't the only one who knew how to touch me. I was secretly having an affair with this rich doctor. A sex deprived married man who wanted some fun. He goes by the name Billy. I'm laying on the bed and he's on top of me, fucking me like his life depends on it. He's kissing my boobs and sucking my nipples all at the same time. I'm touching my clit to match his tempo. "Fuck. You're so hot Susan. Shake those tits for me." He whispered, pulling away so he can watch while still moving inside me. I was getting close my release.

He wore a little tie he insisted on wearing since today is ‘Take your parents to school Day.’The excitement in him is very contagious, and for the first time in a while I felt a sincere smile forming on my lips along side a joyous feeling.Today was for Liam and I, not Edward, Daniel or any boy drama.“How do I look mommy?” He asked me, jumping around excitedly. “You look amazing honey. All the parents will be jealous of me.” I replied winking as I smoothened his shirt.We got to school, his hand entwined with mine with the body guards walking right behind us. I could feel so many eyes staring, watching us, Some filled with curiosity, while others filled with judgement. Silently, they whispered in low tones. But not low enough because I could hear the murmurs.“Isn’t that Vanessa Coleman?”“I heard she’s dating Edward Silver, the hot Billionaire.” Some women whispered, their gazes fixed on me as we

    Vanessa POV The text echoed in my head as I got to Edwards’s office, it was just like the last time I came. I left Liam at home with the maids and his body guards, I felt too scared to take him out with me. The threat text had destabilized me, I just wanted all this drama to be suspended and over for good. Vanya glared at me as she saw me emerge from the elevator. But I didn’t have her time or energy. There were more issues on ground to worry about. The voices of murmurs and echoes hummed in my ears as I approached Edward’s office, sensing that he had some company. His office door was halfway open. A familiar voice came to my hearing. It was Susan. “Come on Edward, can’t you see that you and I are a perfect fit? I know I made some mistakes but we can make amendments.” Susan said desperately, running her hand on Edward’s sleeve.

    Vanessa POV The lift doors slid open, revealing Edward’s sleek penthouse. Liam’s small sneakers sounded on the polished marble floor as he ran ahead. Edward's signature scent invaded the air. I could smell it faintly, a musky cologne. I adjusted the straps on my silk top and texted Daniel back. ‘I’m Spending some time with Liam and Edward. Okay, let's reschedule for next weekend.” I felt guilty, saying this to him. It felt like I was cheating him of not spending quality time with me. I glanced briefly at the emerald bracelet he gave me on my wrist for some closure. Next weekend had to be next weekend. Liam's joyful voice rang through the living room as soon as I pushed the send button. "Mommy, Daddy made dinner!" My gaze followed Liam's, and my breathing quickened. Liam had become more comfortable with calling Edward ‘Daddy’ My eyes noticed Edward as he stood at the dining table, wearing only a pair of grey sweatpants that hung low on his waist and stuck to his sexy chis

    Edward’s POVThe glass in my hand was sweating. I hadn’t even touched the damn drink yet. Whiskey, neat. My old go-to when I wanted to forget, when I wanted to feel something burn before the numbness settled in. It was a little past midnight, everyone at home was asleep. But I was restless.I sat in the back of my sleek, black rolls Royce, fingers drumming against the leather seat as the city lights flickered past the tinted windows. New York was still buzzing, as always, pretending like nothing was falling apart. But for me, everything in my world was unraveling—and fast.Kaz was back. My company was compromised. Vanessa… she wasn’t mine the way I wanted her to be. And Daniel. Fucking Daniel, always a step closer to her heart than I was.“Sir?” My driver turned his head slightly. “We’re here.”I looked up. The red neon sign of Club Volta buzzed above the entrance, hazy in the misty night air. The place where I first laid eyes on Vanessa after 5 years. Where her fire and defiance sla

Vanessa was still upstairs with Liam, cocooned in a thin bubble of calm that I didn’t want to break. Edward had stepped out to prepare the mansion for their return, since Vanessa and Liam were going back today. Kaz had fled New York so it was safe for them again, but my senses told me otherwise. The past few days have been intense and overwhelming.The world outside didn’t stop spinning just because we needed peace.I grabbed my jacket, left a note by the coffee machine—just in case—and slipped out of the penthouse without a sound. The hallway was quiet. My security detail stood outside the door, nodding once as I passed.

Rain threatened in the distance, but all I could feel was the chill of dread creeping up my spine. Edward left for a business meeting and hadn’t come back yet. I tried to tell myself that was okay—that he was probably stuck in traffic, or giving the police a statement, or just… breathing. But deep down, I knew something had happened.I had sensed it in his voice earlier.The call wasn’t long. I’d only caught the tail end when Daniel stepped out of the room, but I heard the tension.

    Edward’s POVThe sun hadn’t risen yet, but the city was already beginning to stir beneath me. I sat behind the wheel of my car, parked a block away from the rundown building that Detective Slater had mentioned over the phone. A warehouse near the East River, supposedly condemned but still lingering with shadows. I tightened my grip around the steering wheel, knuckles white. My private investigator Jonathan, sat in the passengers seat.The moment Slater called Daniel, I was already slipping on my coat. The name Kaz had my blood running cold.“You sure this is the place?” I asked again into my Bluetooth headset.“I don’t joke about guys like him,” Slater responded, his voice crackling with static. “Anonymous tip came in. They said someone matching Kaz’s description has been hiding out here the last few nights. No security cams in the area, but the timing lines up.”I stared at the building, its brick walls crusted with grime, rusted metal doors barely holding onto their hinges. “What

    Vanessa POV The room was dark, but the silence didn’t comfort me. It was the scream in my head that woke me—loud, raw, too real. My chest heaved as I sat up, drenched in cold sweat, heart thundering. For a second, I couldn’t breathe. Kaz. His voice echoed in my mind like a jagged replay, his hands pinning me down, his threats crackling like fire through my veins. Even the shadows around me seemed to shift like they belonged to him. I turned to check Liam. My darling son was fast asleep, curled in a blanket and unaware of the chaos around us. Safe. For now, I reached for my phone, then stopped. It was just after 4 a.m. I blinked into the dim light, my eyes adjusting slowly. My limbs trembled as I forced myself out of bed and tiptoed into the hallway, my body stiff and sore from the nightmare’s grip. Still, the unease in my chest didn’t lift. It was like a hand was clutching my heart. I didn’t want to go back to bed. My feet moved almost instinctively, padding across

    Vanessa POV Wendy Hawthorne walked in like she owned the damn place. I blinked, stunned, as her heels clicked sharply against the hardwood floor of Daniel’s penthouse, her designer trench coat billowing like she’d just stepped off the set of a soap opera. She paused dramatically in the entryway, clearly expecting an audience. Her brunette hair styled in waves gleamed under the warm lights, and her lips curled into a half-smile when she saw me. “Well, this is a surprise,” she purred, setting her oversized sunglasses atop her head. “Didn’t expect company, Danny. Though I suppose you’ve always liked strays.” Daniel, who’d been clearing the table with a dishtowel still in hand, stiffened beside me. “What the hell are you doing here, Wendy?” he asked, voice sharp with irritation. Wendy swept into the dinning room like she hadn’t heard him, her gaze flitting between the dimmed lights, the warm plates on the dining table, and finally—me. “I see you’ve been entertaining.” “Ans

    Daniel POV The soft chime of the elevator echoed through the penthouse as I opened the door, just in time to see Vanessa and Liam stepping out with Edward trailing behind them. My gut twisted a little—maybe it was the sight of Liam holding Vanessa’s hand, or maybe it was the way Edward’s gaze landed on me with that ever-present rivalry in his eyes. Vanessa looked exhausted, though still striking as always—her eyes guarded, her steps careful. Liam clutched a small suitcase in one hand and a toy car in the other, his eyes darting around the hallway like a curious little explorer. “Welcome,” I said, stepping forward. My voice came out smoother than I felt. “Liam, I got something for you.” The little boy tilted his head suspiciously, but I could already see the curiosity winning. I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small treat bag—soft chewy caramels, the kind that didn’t stick to your teeth, thankfully. His eyes lit up. “Can I have one, Mommy?” Vanessa smiled faintly. “J

    Friday, April 26th Vanessa POV The drive back to the mansion was heavy with silence. Edward’s car hummed quietly as we cruised through New York’s glowing streets, city lights throwing long shadows across the dashboard. The weight in my chest had only grown since Kaz reappeared—his return hadn’t just shaken me, it shattered something I hadn’t realized was still fragile. It wasn’t just the attack. It was everything—the fear, the buried trauma, the flood of memories. Edward kept stealing glances at me, his lips pressed into a tight line. He didn’t speak, but the air buzzed with the words he wasn’t saying. I knew he wanted me to open up. The problem was, I didn’t know how. Finally, his voice broke the silence. “You didn’t tell me about the texts.” My heart skipped. “The texts?” I echoed, trying to sound casual. “The ones about you and Liam. The ones you never mentioned.” A knot twisted in my stomach. I should’ve told him. But I didn’t. And now it was too late to pretend it
