The Billionaire & His Maid Cracker
Chapter 76Josh stood in the doorway, looking slightly out of breath but composed. He held a small bouquet of white lilies in one hand and a bag of snacks in the other. His eyes met Ruth’s, and for a brief moment, there was something unreadable in his gaze—guilt, perhaps, or maybe just the weight of her earlier question lingering between them.“I came straight from work,” he explained, setting the flowers and bag on the small table beside Ruth’s hospital bed. “Figured you might want something to munch on before surgery.”Ruth looked at him unbelievably. “You really dislike me, don’t you?”“What’s wrong? Can you not say that? Did I do anything?” Josh crouched beside her and asked sincerely.“She cannot eat anything within the 12 hour period prior to her surgery. Have you forgotten?” Olivia said from behind to remind him. “And you’re bringing snacks minutes before surgery. Great job!"Josh looked at Ruth again. “I’m so sorry. I’ve been forgetting things a little too much lately”.Ruth h

Chapter 77Olivia turned around to see Josh looking at her. He seemed quite flustered. “Josh?” she called out to him."Hey Olivia. I thought to look around for you”, Josh said, scratching his neck awkwardly. “And thank you for staying with Ruth”.Olivia smiled. “Ruth will always do the same for me. Besides, we’ve known each other since forever, so we value each other more than our men".Josh cleared his throat. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he couldn’t find the words. “Is it about you and Ruth?” Olivia asked first. Josh nodded a bit in affirmation.“I am trying my best to reassure her that you won't hurt her. But Ruth is still hurt, she thinks you’re tired of her and the relationship”, Olivia said with a sigh. “No matter what you’re going through, she’s your girlfriend, you should be able to confide in her”.“I know," Josh began. “But Carey is the biggest concern right now. I also don’t want anything to trouble her. But it didn’t occur to me that I might be hurting he

Chapter 78Ruth’s question hung in the air, a sudden shift in the calm atmosphere of the hospital room. Josh’s hand faltered slightly in hers, his fingers tightening reflexively before he gave her an unsteady smile.“Annette Fournier?” he repeated, as though the name itself had only just registered. "I don’t know who she is. Why would you ask about her?”Olivia, who had been standing by the window, suddenly turned around. Ruth told her about this name just the day before. She heard the tension in Josh’s voice and she frowned. Ruth’s gaze was steady, unwavering, and Olivia knew there was no backing down from this question. Ruth, with her sharp wit and no-nonsense attitude, wouldn’t let it go.“Don’t give me that,” Ruth said with a wry smile. “You know who she is, you’ve been avoiding me for days, and I’ve been putting up with it. But I need an answer, Josh. Who. Is. Annette?”Josh opened his mouth to speak but hesitated, his thoughts running faster than he could process them. How did R

Chapter 79Eunice skipped through the corridor with Olivia holding her hand, while Christian walked behind them. The fluorescent lights buzzed quietly and it made Olivia uneasy."Honey," she began. “Are you sure you are happy to be in the hospital?”Eunice nodded happily. “I really missed Ruth, but I got to see her today. I do feel like this is not the right place to be happy, but she’s fine."Olivia who was obviously surprised by Eunice’s mature answer looked back at Christian who was smiling. “My girl is surely intelligent”, he said rubbing her back.“When are we getting to the room? I’ve been walking since a thousand years ago”, Eunice complained, instantly resuming her childlike antics like Olivia had expected.Ruth, who was still recovering was on the phone on a presumably work call. “I’ll see what I can do about it before Friday, thank you," she said before hanging up the phone.“Ruth!”, the excited Eunice screamed as soon as she saw Ruth drop her phone.“And if it isn’t my favo

Chapter 80“Sir?” one of the subordinates called out. “Are you sure about this? I mean, we could see how Christian almost ran mad with the previous attempt. Can we still do it?”The boss looked at the rest of his subordinates and let out a cynical laughter. “He’s joking, right? Does he not know me?” He questioned them quietly. "At that time, I wasn’t seriously going to kidnap her, it was just a tactic to scare Christian”.The minion pursed his lips and nodded. “I understand. I’m sorry for doubting you sir”.Meanwhile, across the city, a group of unsuspecting people were in a hospital ward. The late afternoon sunlight streamed through the hospital window, bathing Ruth’s hospital room in a soft golden hue. Eunice sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, humming to herself as she arranged her daffodils into a small glass vase. Olivia stood nearby, her hand resting gently on the rail of the bed, while Ruth reclined against the pillows, a look of contentment on her face.“It’s nice to hav

Chapter 81It is already Friday. The long anticipated day is Eunice's graduation. The morning was bright and full of positivity.Sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the Mason estate, casting golden hues across the sleek modern furniture. Christian stood by the kitchen island, a cup of coffee in his hand, watching Eunice bounce on her toes in excitement. Her white graduation dress—a lacy little number Olivia had picked out—flowed around her as she twirled.“Uncle Christian, do you think they’ll have cupcakes at the party?” Eunice asked, her eyes sparkling.Christian chuckled and leaned down to her level. “If they don’t, I’ll make sure to find you the biggest cupcake in the city. Deal?”“Deal!” Eunice exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck.Olivia walked into the room, her hair swept into an elegant bun, wearing a simple navy-blue dress that complemented her figure. Christian’s gaze softened as he straightened up, setting his coffee down.“Ready for the big day?” he asked

Chapter 82The dawn of a new week painted the Massachusetts skyline in hues of gold and rose. Inside the Mason estate, a tranquil scene unfolded. Olivia, with a gentle hum, prepared Eunice’s breakfast. The little girl, her usual sparkle dimmed by the post-graduation blues, was greeted with a plate of whimsical star-shaped pancakes. The sweet aroma of maple syrup filled the air, a comforting reminder of simpler times.Eunice’s eyes lit up, her frown melting away. She took a bite of the fluffy pancake, a smile spreading across her face. Olivia watched her daughter with a fond smile, relieved to see the return of her cheerful spirit. As they sat together, the warmth of the morning sun and the joy of a shared meal filled the room. It was a simple start to a new week, but it was a start filled with love and hope. Of course, threats from Carey and other unknown sources lurk behind the shadows somewhere.Christian entered the kitchen, already dressed in a sharp charcoal suit. He stopped to p

Chapter 83Time quickly rolled by, and it was already evening. The sun had already set on the other side of the city. Inside the Mason mansion, Olivia had just finished making some spaghetti. She stood by the kitchen window, watching Eunice play with her dolls in the dining room. Her earlier resolve to tell Christian about the phone call lingered in her mind, but the worry had begun to twist in her chest like a persistent ache.The sound of the front door opening broke her thoughts. Christian’s familiar stride echoed through the hall. He appeared in the kitchen doorway moments later, his tie loosened and a tired yet relieved look on his face.“Hey,” he greeted, his voice softening as his gaze landed on her. “Hey,” Olivia replied, brushing a stray curl off her face.Christian’s eyes shifted toward the patio. “She looks happy,” he said, nodding toward Eunice, whose laughter floated through the air.Olivia smiled faintly. “She had a good day.

Chapter 97Christian stood outside the holding cell, the fluorescent lights above casting harsh shadows on the stark walls. Detective Fisher’s voice echoed in his mind, reminding him to tread carefully. But Christian had no intention of being careful.Inside the cell, Mrs. Patricia Oxnard sat stiffly on the metal bench, her hands folded in her lap. Despite her disheveled appearance, she carried herself with a dignity that belied her situation. When she noticed Christian, her face flickered with hope, though her eyes remained wary.“Christian,” she began, standing slowly. “Thank God you’re here. I knew you’d realise this was all a mistake.”Christian forced a small, tight smile, stepping closer to the bars. “Mrs. Oxnard, I want to believe it’s a mistake,” he said, his tone measured, almost warm. “You’ve been a trusted figure in my life for so long. I couldn’t just stand by while you were dragged into this mess.”Her eyes softened, and for a moment, she looked like the woman who had onc

Chapter 96The night air was heavy with a suffocating stillness as Christian sat in his dimly lit office, phone in hand. The room, usually an emblem of power and control, now felt more like a prison. Every shadow seemed to mock his inability to act fast enough. His mind churned with the latest revelation: Mr. Petty, a man he had trusted implicitly through Margaret, was at the centre of a storm he could barely piece together.But there was no time for hesitation. Christian pressed a number on his phone, his resolve hardening.“Detective Fisher,” came the gruff voice on the other end, tinged with surprise.“It’s Christian Mason,” he began without preamble. “I need your help. My niece, Eunice, has been abducted.”The line was silent for a beat before Fisher responded, his tone shifting to one of professionalism. “When did this happen?”“Five days ago,” Christian admitted, his voice strained. “The trail’s gone cold, and I need someone I can trust to take over the investigation.

Chapter 95The city buzzed outside Christian’s office as he paced back and forth, his frustration mounting with every passing moment. The images of the child’s shoe and the signs of activity at the warehouse lingered in his mind, but the security team had turned up nothing more. It was a dead end—a cruel tease that brought them no closer to finding Eunice.He stopped by the window, staring out at the skyline, his reflection staring back at him. His face was worn, lines of exhaustion etched deeply around his eyes. But there was no room for rest. He had promised Olivia he would bring Eunice home, and failure wasn’t an option.The sharp ring of his phone broke his thoughts. He snatched it off the desk. “Josh?”“No updates yet,” Josh said, his voice cautious. “We’ve combed through the warehouse and surrounding areas. Whoever was there cleared out fast.”Christian’s grip on the phone tightened. “And the security footage?”“Nothing useful,” Josh admitted. “They avoided cameras, and any reco

Chapter 94The late morning sun cast long shadows over Ruth’s apartment as Christian approached the door. His steps were heavy, the weight of recent events bearing down on him. The tension from his last argument with Olivia loomed large, and he braced himself for an icy reception.Ruth answered the door with a sharp glance, her eyebrow arching as if to say, "What do you want?" She leaned against the doorframe, her arms crossed.“Christian,” she said, her tone clipped. “Didn’t expect to see you here. Thought you’d be too busy playing lone wolf to come and actually talk to your wife.”Christian inhaled deeply, already regretting his decision to come in person. “I’m here to see Olivia,” he said evenly.“She’s in the living room,” Ruth replied, stepping aside but not before adding, “Try not to ruin her day any further.”Christian clenched his jaw but said nothing, stepping into the cozy apartment. Olivia was seated on the couch, her back straight, hands clasped in her lap. The moment she

Chapter 93The air in Christian’s study was stifling, the faint smell of leather and old wood doing little to calm his frayed nerves. He paced the room, the phone pressed to his ear.“I can guess you heard about Eunice from your mother, but who told you about Olivia?” Christian demanded, his tone not so cool.“That’s the thing. Why do I know so much about your life?” the caller questioned bitterly. “Don’t play games with me,” Christian retorted.The caller sighed. “I think my mom is involved in the kidnapping of Eunice. I can’t say for sure, but she’s someone who will go miles to get what she wants.”Christian could not believe his ears. He blinked, looking at his screen. “I’m not going to listen to you say rubbish.”“I know,” the caller continued. “I know it’s difficult to believe my mother is capable of something like that, but she is. Haven’t you seen the signs? She always tried to pit you and me together for some sort of marriage alliance, but thankfully your mom never agreed to i

Chapter 92The morning sun struggled to penetrate the heavy fog that hung over the mansion, inside and out. Christian’s world remained shrouded in uncertainty. His usually clean and sharp demeanour was nowhere to be found. His beard had grown, forming a stubble around his jaw. He stood in the operations room, his jaw set as he scanned the large map pinned to the wall. Pushpins marked locations of interest, each representing a lead that had fizzled into nothing.Josh entered, carrying a stack of papers and his laptop. His face was grim, but his eyes held a spark of determination. “The lead we traced last night,” he began, setting the laptop down. “It’s thin, but it’s something.”Christian crossed his arms, leaning against the desk. “What have you got?”Josh tapped at the keyboard, pulling up an email. “We found another account connected to Elise’s network. It’s tied to a property on the outskirts of the city—an old storage facility. I’ve sent a team to check it out, but—”“Don’t say it

Chapter 91The house had never felt this still. It wasn’t just quiet—it was suffocating. Christian sat in his study, his hands gripping the edge of his desk as the faint glow of his laptop illuminated the room. It was past midnight, but sleep had become a stranger to him. Each time he closed his eyes, the image of Eunice’s frightened face haunted him.And then there was Olivia.He had replayed their argument in his mind a hundred times, each iteration leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. The anger that had fuelled his words now seemed hollow, replaced by a gnawing ache he couldn’t ignore. He had hurt her—pushed her away when he needed her most.The phone on his desk buzzed, breaking his thoughts. It was a message from Josh: “Team just sent me something. Check your email.”Christian opened the file Josh had forwarded. It was footage from a security camera near the warehouse. A black van had been spotted leaving the area shortly before their team arrived. The license plate was barely vi

Chapter 90The mansion felt emptier than ever, even with everyone inside. Olivia sat in the dimly lit living room, staring at the untouched cup of tea Ruth had placed before her hours ago. Christian hadn’t spoken to her since they returned from the failed rescue attempt at the warehouse. Not a single word, not even a glance in her direction. His silence was louder than any accusation could have been.From across the room, Ruth watched Olivia carefully. Her brows knit with concern. Josh entered, his laptop tucked under his arm. “Any updates?” Ruth asked softly.Josh shook his head, his expression grim. “No leads." The trail went cold after the warehouse. "I've got a few people digging into Elise’s connections, but...” He hesitated, glancing toward Christian, who stood by the window, his back to everyone.Olivia couldn’t take it anymore. She pushed herself up from the couch and crossed the room to meet him. “Christian,” she began, her voice small but steady. “We need to talk.”He didn’t

Chapter 89Olivia and Ruth were pacing around in the in the stifling atmosphere. Olivia sat on the edge of the couch, her hands twisting the scarf that had now become a cruel reminder of Eunice’s abduction. Ruth hovered nearby, her calming presence a balm Olivia desperately clung to. Meanwhile, Christian and Josh were locked in a flurry of activity, coordinating with law enforcement and private investigators. Every phone call, every lead, seemed to come up short.Olivia’s chest felt like it was being crushed under the weight of helplessness. Eunice is out there somewhere. Alone. Frightened. The thought nearly undid her. She forced herself to focus on Christian’s promise. He would move mountains to bring Eunice home. He had to.“We’ve got a lead,” Josh announced, though his tone lacked the confidence she had hoped for. “The car was spotted in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. A team is already on the way.”Olivia bolted to her feet. “I’m coming with you.”Christian’s
