The Billionaire & His Maid Nance
Chapter 104 The room was silent except for the faint sound of Olivia pacing, her arms folded tightly across her chest. Christian stood near the window, his gaze distant, his mind replaying Detective Fisher’s words like a haunting refrain.“It’s possible their accident wasn’t just an accident.”Olivia stopped abruptly, turning to face him. “Christian, we need to talk about this,” she said softly, her voice steady despite the turmoil in her eyes.Christian exhaled sharply, dragging a hand through his hair. “I know,” he said, his voice low. “But I don’t even know where to start. If Josh was involved in this—”“You don’t know that yet,” Olivia interjected, stepping closer to him. “But Fisher’s right. If there’s even a chance that Matthew and Rosemary’s accident wasn’t what it seemed, we can’t ignore it.”Christian turned to her, his jaw tightening. “I trusted Josh. I’ve known him for years. If he’s capable of being part of something like this...” His voice trailed off, the weight of betr

Chapter 105 The morning sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains of Christian’s office, but the warmth it brought was lost on him. He sat at his desk, his laptop open to a spreadsheet riddled with connections and names. His phone buzzed, jolting him from his thoughts. Pitcher’s name flashed across the screen.“Pitcher,” Christian answered briskly, leaning back in his chair.“Mr. Mason, I have an update,” Pitcher said, his voice steady but tinged with urgency. “We’ve uncovered connections between Josh, Matthew, and Rock Assets Management. It seems that Josh was funnelling information about Mason Enterprises through a series of intermediaries. The link to Rock Assets is indirect, but it’s there.”Christian’s grip tightened on the phone. “Go on.”“One of the shell companies we flagged last year for attempting to sabotage your supply chain received funding from a private account tied to Josh. That same account made regular payments to someone on Matthew’s team about four months befor

Chapter 106 The dimly lit detention center remained eerily quiet, save for the faint hum of the fluorescent lights above. Christian sat across from Josh, his icy gaze locked on his estranged friend. The tension between them was palpable—thick enough to suffocate. Josh, clad in his orange jumpsuit, had wiped his tears, his demeanour shifting from pleading to defiant. He leaned forward, his eyes narrowing with a mixture of bitterness and hatred.“You think you’re so righteous, don’t you, Christian?” Josh began, his voice low and venomous. “But you don’t know the whole story. You don’t know why I did it—why I had to.”Christian’s jaw tightened. “Then enlighten me. Tell me why you betrayed us. Tell me why you had to tear our family apart.”Josh let out a bitter laugh. “Your family? Our family, Christian. That’s where you’re wrong. The Mason name—it should’ve been mine. Not Matthew’s. Not yours. Mine.”Christian’s brows furrowed. “What the hell are you talking about?”Josh leaned back in

Chapter 107 “Let me know when you get there,” Christian said as he pecked Olivia’s cheek.“Okay. I’ll be back soon, though. I just need to check up on her,” Olivia replied with a grim look.It had been about three days since the grand reveal of Eunice’s abductor, and Ruth had not been answering anyone’s calls since she returned to her apartment that day.About thirty-five minutes later, Olivia arrived at Ruth’s apartment, and for some strange reason, her car looked like it hadn’t moved in days.Olivia knocked softly on the apartment door, the echo sounding heavier than usual. When the door creaked open, Ruth stood on the other side, her shoulders slumped, her eyes puffy and red. She tried to muster a weak smile but failed, stepping aside to let Olivia in.The apartment was dim, the curtains drawn, and an untouched mug of tea sat on the coffee table, its contents long since cold. Olivia placed a comforting hand on Ruth’s arm. “Hey,” she said gently. “I just wanted to check on you.”Ru

Chapter 108 The morning light filtered through the curtains as Eunice sat at the breakfast table, her fork idly pushing scrambled eggs around her plate. Christian sat across from her, his coffee untouched, while Olivia stood at the counter, packing a small lunchbox for Eunice’s first day back at school. The air was thick with unspoken tension, but Olivia’s gentle voice broke the silence.“Eunice,” she said, turning toward the little girl. “Are you ready to meet your new therapist today?”Eunice shrugged, her small shoulders rising and falling as she avoided eye contact. “I guess.”Christian leaned forward, his voice soft but steady. “You know, therapy is like having a special friend who helps you understand your feelings. And you can tell them anything—it’s a safe place.”Eunice glanced at him, her eyes clouded with uncertainty. “Do I have to talk about... what happened?”Olivia set the lunchbox down and knelt beside Eunice, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Only if you want

Chapter 109 The sterile chill of the visitation room seeped into Ruth’s bones as she sat at the metal table, her fingers clasped tightly around her handbag. Across from her, Josh sat in his orange jumpsuit, his usual confidence dulled by weeks of incarceration. Yet his eyes gleamed with something dangerous—a combination of desperation and calculation.“Ruth,” he began, his voice low and smooth, almost tender. “I can’t believe you’re really here. You have no idea how much this means to me.”Ruth swallowed, her heart warring with her mind. She had come seeking answers, not manipulation, but the way Josh looked at her—like she was his lifeline—made her falter.“I don’t even know why I’m here,” she admitted, her voice shaky. “You know how much this has hurt all of us, Josh. You need to tell me the truth.”Josh leaned forward, his shackled hands clinking against the table. “I am telling you the truth, Ruth. I had nothing to do with Eunice’s abduction. You have to believe me. They’re twist

Chapter 110 The morning after the fight between Christian and Ruth, Olivia arrived at Ruth’s apartment. Ruth had refused to pick up anyone’s calls, shutting herself off from the world."Just talk some sense into your friend. The world can't revolve around her wishes. It’s hard for me to believe what Josh did, and I know him better than she does," Olivia remembered Christian telling her before she left the mansion.She stood outside for a moment before pressing the doorbell. The door creaked open, revealing Ruth’s pale, tear-streaked face. Her eyes widened slightly at the sight of Olivia standing in the hallway, holding a folder. The air between them was heavy, laden with unspoken words and unresolved tension.“Olivia,” Ruth said stiffly, gripping the edge of the door. “Why are you here?”Olivia took a deep breath, holding out the folder as if it were evidence in a trial. “We need to talk, Ruth. About Josh. About this.”Ruth’s gaze flickered to the folder, her lips pressing into a thi

Chapter 111 The next morning, Olivia sat at the breakfast table, her brow furrowed as she sipped her tea. The events of the previous day weighed heavily on her, and Christian’s announcement about visiting Josh in detention had only added to her anxiety. Christian entered the dining room, impeccably dressed in a dark suit, his expression calm but determined. “I’m heading to the detention center after breakfast,” he said, placing his phone and car keys on the table. Olivia looked up, her frustration bubbling to the surface. “Christian, we’ve talked about this. You don’t need to go back there. Josh isn’t going to give you anything useful. He’s already shown what kind of person he is.” Christian met her gaze, his voice steady but firm. “I need answers, Olivia. There’s more to this than we know, and I can’t afford to leave any stone unturned. This isn’t just about me anymore— it’s about Eunice, you, and protecting this family.” Olivia set her tea down with a sigh. “I understand

Epilogue Nine months later. The sun streamed gently through the tall windows of the new Matt & Rose Foundation building, casting a warm glow over rows of seated attendees—executives, students, members of the press, and friends. The air held something rare: hope. Christian stood at the podium in a tailored navy suit, a small white ribbon pinned to his lapel. His gaze swept across the audience, lingering on the front row, where Olivia sat beside Ruth. Ruth wore a floral midi dress and a guarded smile. Next to her sat Roosevelt Lee—a former college buddy of Christian’s, and for the past month, Ruth’s quiet comfort. Eunice sat on Olivia’s lap, her legs swinging under her dress shoes, proudly sporting a glittery badge that read Junior Ambassador. She waved when Christian looked her way. He winked, then returned his attention to the microphone. “Today,” Christian began, his voice carrying with ease, “we honour two people whose kindness shaped who I am. My brother and sister-in-law

Chapter 120 Another four months had passed since Josh’s first court appearance. Today was judgment day.The courtroom felt colder this time—not from the air, but from the finality clinging to the walls like frost. The trial had dragged on for weeks—meticulous testimonies, irrefutable digital evidence, and the haunting voices of those Josh had manipulated or destroyed. Ruth had testified. So had Olivia. And Christian had taken the stand with quiet resolve, walking the court through every calculated step Josh had taken in the shadows.Now, there were no whispers. Just silence. The sentencing.Christian sat in the front row once again, between Ruth and Olivia. His hands rested on his knees, spine straight, jaw tight. Behind them, rows of strangers watched history unfold.Olivia wore a black blouse and slacks, her eyes fixed forward, unreadable. Ruth had opted for navy this time—a subtle, steady colour that matched the calm she was trying to summon.Josh was brought in, flanked by office

Chapter 119 Four Months LaterThe car ride to the courthouse was silent and tense. Christian drove, while Ruth and Olivia sat quietly in the back.The Massachusetts Criminal Courthouse loomed ahead, grim beneath a brooding sky. The winter air cut through even the thickest coats. News vans lined the perimeter like vultures, antennas raised like mechanical spines. Cameramen and reporters crowded the steps, lenses trained on the entrance, waiting for the man at the center of a storm no one had seen coming.Inside, the courtroom buzzed with restrained energy. Whispered conversations rose and fell like waves. Every seat was filled—press, family members, curious onlookers. The case of State vs. Joshua Smith had gripped the city: betrayal, murder, power, secrets.Christian sat at the front beside Olivia and Ruth, his expression carved from stone, but his eyes— his eyes burned. He hadn’t slept well in days, not since the indictment was finalised. The time between discovery and justice had fe

Chapter 118 Detective Harris shone his flashlight into the dark cavity beneath the floorboards, brushing aside layers of dust and cobwebs. “There’s definitely something down here.”Christian knelt beside the hole, squinting into the shadows. “What do you see?”“Some kind of box.” Harris reached down carefully and pulled out a dusty metal tin, about the size of a shoebox. It clanked faintly as he set it beside him. “It was wedged under one of the boards.”Detective Fisher stepped forward, gloved hands steady, and popped the lid. Everyone leaned in.Inside, nestled between scraps of old cloth, were two flash drives, a sealed plastic sleeve containing a small memory card—and, folded neatly at the bottom—a shirt.Fisher’s brow furrowed as he lifted the drives. “Bag these,” he instructed, handing them to another officer. “Handle with care. They could be encrypted.”Christian’s gaze narrowed. “What kind of shirt is that?”Fisher gently unfolded the fabric. It was a large-sized, worn men’s

Chapter 117 Olivia grabbed his arm before he could finish.“Christian.”He stopped and sank into the nearest sofa, the tension radiating from his frame.“Sweetheart,” he said gently, “come here. Let Uncle ask you something.”Eunice nodded and skipped forward. Christian crouched in front of her, his hands resting lightly on her small shoulders. His expression was calm, but there was an intensity in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.“Eunice,” he said softly, “what do you mean by a secret room?”Eunice beamed, clearly delighted to finally share her secret.“The one behind the big bookshelf in the living room! Daddy and Uncle Josh used to go there all the time. I saw them!” She puffed out her chest proudly. “They thought I didn’t know, but I did.”Christian’s grip tightened slightly. Olivia noticed the tick in his jaw.“When did you see them, sweetheart?” she asked gently, kneeling beside them. “Was it a long time ago?”Eunice nodded, her little hands tugging at the hem of Olivia’s

Chapter 116 The Mason mansion was quiet that night—the kind of stillness that carries the weight of things unsaid.Ruth sat curled on the plush living room couch, a blanket draped around her shoulders. But the warmth did nothing to ease the chill in her chest. The day’s events played on a loop in her mind— every word, every lie, every trace of Josh’s deception. She had spent months loving a man who never truly existed. Now all that remained was the rubble of a future that had never been real.Olivia sat beside her, close enough to offer support, but not suffocating.“Are you sure you don’t want to go upstairs and try to sleep?” she asked gently.Ruth let out a scoff and shook her head. “Sleep? Not a chance. Every time I close my eyes, I hear his voice. I see that smug smile he gave me—like he still had me wrapped around his finger.” Her voice cracked, raw with disbelief. “God, he really believed I was still his.”Olivia reached over and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “He’

Chapter 115 Ruth tightened her grip on the steering wheel as she pulled into the detention center's parking lot. The morning sun glared off the pavement, but its warmth couldn’t touch the cold knot twisting in her stomach. She exhaled slowly, bracing herself. This wasn’t a visit for closure. It wasn’t to ask for explanations.She needed to see the manipulative monster Josh truly was—again.For the past twenty-four hours, she had replayed every moment: every conversation, every touch, every whispered promise. All lies. Carefully crafted. Skilfully delivered. And she had believed them —believed him—because she thought he loved her the way she had loved him.She stepped out of the car, her heels clicking sharply against the asphalt as she walked toward the entrance. The moment she passed through security, the weight of the situation settled squarely on her shoulders. Cold fluorescent lights hummed overhead as officers led her down sterile hallways. And then, at last, she was there—facin

Chapter 114 The rhythmic clicking of Christian’s pen against his desk was the only sound in the vast office as he sat, deep in thought. The morning had started like any other, with reports to review and meetings to prepare for, but the weight of last night’s revelation pressed down on him like a storm cloud.Josh.He had spent quite some time going over every detail from the journal Ruth had found. The words scrawled across the pages painted a picture of a man who had been living a double life—outwardly charming, supportive, and loyal, yet seething with resentment beneath the surface.A knock at the door pulled him from his thoughts. “Come in,” he called.The door opened, and Secretary Pitcher stepped inside, his expression neutral but professional. “Detective Fisher is here to see you, sir.”Christian straightened, nodding. “Send him in.”A moment later, Detective Fisher strode into the office. He was a middle-aged man with graying temples, sharp eyes that missed nothing, and an air

Chapter 113 "Make sure you have all these files assessed by the necessary departments and submitted to me by noon tomorrow," Christian said in a commanding tone."Yes, sir," Pitcher replied."As for what I told you about, continue directing them and see what they have to do about it. Also, reschedule my appointment with Mr. Manchester—I have to go pick up Eunice from sch—"Christian was interrupted by the buzzing phone on his desk. He quickly picked up the call as soon as he saw the caller ID.Olivia’s voice had been tight with urgency when she told him to come home. The undercurrent of alarm in her tone was enough to send his pulse spiking.By the time he strode into the Mason mansion, Olivia and Ruth were waiting for him in the living room, their faces pale.He was surprised to see Ruth with Olivia. Hadn't they just had a huge argument days before? Before he could ask anything, he noticed the thick, black journal sitting on the coffee table between them."What’s going on?" Christia
