The Billionaire Instant Twins Echoes of Doubt
The soft glow of city lights crept through the curtains, casting a faint, restless shimmer across Calla’s bedroom. She lay there, staring up at the ceiling, her heart heavy and her mind thick with thoughts that wouldn’t let her rest.She’d made the call to Drake—she’d told him she was ready to marry him, even if it meant doing it quietly, in a courthouse, away from the judgment of others. But now, alone in the dark, every choice she’d made felt sharper, more uncertain.Marriage. The word felt monumental, almost crushing.“This is forever,” she whispered to herself, barely audible in the silent room, her hand instinctively coming to rest on her stomach. A new life was growing there—a part of her and Drake, tied to them both forever.The thought should have reassured her, given her strength. But all she could think about was Xavier’s voice, his warnings echoing like distant thunder.Xavier had said Drake was dangerous. Reckless. He’d thrown around words like “untrustworthy” and “unstabl

The fluorescent lights hummed, cold and indifferent, casting a sterile glow over the courthouse. Calla shifted on her feet, eyes darting around the impersonal space. The distant murmurs and rhythmic tap of keyboards felt jarring against the racing thoughts in her head. This was not how she’d imagined her wedding day.She had dreamed of soft music, flowers, and a celebration, but here there was only the stark finality of bureaucracy. No vows. No promises. Just a clipboard and a legal contract. Yet, despite the lack of ceremony, a pulse of excitement surged within her. This was freedom.Her fingers curled tight around the strap of her purse as she glanced at Drake. His broad frame, imposing in a dark suit, was still and distant, lost in thought. Her heart fluttered. He wasn’t her salvation, not in the way she had once imagined. But today, he was here, and that was enough.She looked down at her simple white dress—no veil, no lace, just clean lines that grazed her knees. She’d chosen it

The car slowly came to a stop outside the gates of Villa Azzura, its tires crunching over the gravel driveway.Calla peered out the window, her heart pounding as she took in the villa that was to be her new home. It was a charming, modest house tucked into the hills, far removed from the grandeur she had left behind at her brother’s estate.The villa wasn’t the kind of luxury she had expected—there were no marble floors or expansive halls, no gold accents or crystal chandeliers. It was simple, with a warm, rustic feel that made it look well-loved but not extravagant. The kind of home that felt like it had stories to tell in its creaky floors and soft, weathered furniture.As they approached the front door, Drake’s hand, firm and steady on her arm, helped her out of the car. His presence felt distant like a shadow lingering just beyond her reach.She had imagined this moment for so long—the moment she would finally be with Drake, in the place where they would start their life together.

Calla had pictured this moment as the culmination of their love story, a celebration of their bond. Instead, she felt a chasm growing between them—one she couldn’t explain but one that weighed heavily on her chest. The love, the tenderness, the connection—all of it seemed like an illusion, slipping further and further away with each passing moment.The bedroom was simple—nothing extravagant, nothing like the rooms she had seen in magazines or on Pinterest, filled with luxurious silks and endless space. Instead, there was a large iron-framed bed, its beige linens muted and plain. The room had a calm, almost somber feel, with muted walls and soft lighting, but it felt hollow. Empty.Drake closed the door behind them with a soft click, the sound reverberating in the thick silence that filled the room. His movements were slow and deliberate as if he were trying to stay in control of something that was slipping from his grasp.Calla stood frozen in the center of the room, her heart hammeri

But Drake was already stepping toward her, his eyes dark, his gaze intense and unreadable. There was no tenderness in the way he approached her, no softness in his touch when his hands slid to her waist, pulling her closer.His grip was tight, unyielding as if he was trying to claim her, to take something from her that she hadn’t yet given.Calla’s heart skipped a beat. This wasn’t right. This wasn’t how she imagined it would be. She could feel the panic rising in her chest, threatening to spill over, but she couldn’t breathe.His hands felt rough, his movements quick and unrelenting, pushing her backward until the back of her legs hit the edge of the bed.“Drake, wait,” she gasped, trying to steady herself, trying to hold on to whatever small amount of control she had left. “This isn’t—this isn’t what I thought it would be like.”He didn’t respond, only leaned in closer, his breath hot on her skin as he kissed her fiercely, hungrily. But there was no tenderness, no softness—just raw

Her hands found his shoulders, her fingers digging into the fabric of his shirt, as if she could hold onto anything to remind herself of who she was.But it was slipping away. The love she had imagined, the connection, the care was all being replaced by something darker, something primal.Drake didn't seem to notice. Or if he did, he didn't care. His lips were on her neck now, his teeth grazing her skin with a possessive growl.He was relentless, moving like he was trying to break her, piece by piece. Calla wanted to scream, to fight back, but the fear and confusion held her in place, a prisoner inside her own body.The kiss deepened, and she could feel the difference in his touch. It wasn't about her anymore. It wasn't about them anymore. It was about his need to claim, to dominate, to make her feel the weight of his control.And despite the panic bubbling in her chest, despite the storm of emotions crashing inside her, her body responded to it. She hated herself for it. She hated ho

Calla’s breath came in shallow gasps, as though the air itself was fighting her, choking her with the memories that she couldn’t outrun. She pulled her knees closer to her chest, the coldness of the floor seeping through her thin nightgown, but it was the ice in her veins that really froze her.Why didn’t I see it?The question spun in her mind, like a dull, relentless ache, but the truth was too painful to face. She had seen the signs—she had ignored them, convinced herself that love could fix anything.He had been kind before marriage. Gentle. Sweet. And in her vulnerability, she had clung to that promise, convinced that his soft words could build the life she had always wanted. A family. Stability.But now, the weight of it all—the lies, the manipulation, the gaslighting—felt like a blanket suffocating her, pressing down until she couldn’t breathe.She remembered how he would rip her clothes off like she was nothing, throwing her onto the bed with such force that she couldn't breat

Xavier sat in his dimly lit office, fingers drumming rhythmically on the desk, the sound a staccato of tension that echoed in the otherwise quiet room.His gaze, though directed out the window, didn’t register the sprawling city below; his mind was too consumed by the storm of thoughts swirling inside.The weight of everything—the twins, the letter, the unanswered questions—pressed on him like a vice. His world had always been meticulously controlled, and now? Now, it felt like it was unraveling beyond his grasp.His manager, John, stood quietly before him, waiting for his next instructions.“Find out everything you can about Zane and Alana,” Xavier finally spoke, his voice low but edged with authority.“I want to know everything about their aunt, Leila. Where did she go? Why did she leave them with me? And what makes her think those kids are mine? This whole thing… it doesn’t add up. I need to know the truth. I want answers. John nodded, his pen already moving over his notepad. “Und

The Billionaire Instant Twins The First Hearing
Xavier stepped out of the car, his feet meeting the cold pavement of the court building's exterior. The air was heavy, charged with tension. Calla, Logan, and his team of lawyers followed closely behind, their expressions tense but determined. It was the first hearing of the case filed by James Tyler, the man who had somehow become entangled with Xavier’s life through Drake’s twisted plans.Xavier adjusted his tie, his jaw clenched as he scanned the crowd. He knew this would be a long and painful process, but what bothered him most was the prospect of public humiliation. The fact that his family—his children—were being dragged into this mess made his stomach churn with anger."Stay close," Logan murmured to him, his eyes scanning the area for any signs of James or Drake.Xavier nodded and took a deep breath, attempting to calm his rising frustration. But before they could enter the building, Xavier spotted a familiar figure in the crowd—Drake. He was standing near the entrance, a smug
The Billionaire Instant Twins Shadows of Vengeance
Xavier sat in his office, his fingers lightly tapping the desk as he stared at the stack of papers before him. His mind was a storm of conflicting thoughts—about Bella, about the twins, about the court case that loomed ever closer. The weight of everything seemed too much to bear in that moment, and he was struggling to focus, to breathe even.Just as the silence in the room became suffocating, there was a knock at the door. Xavier looked up, grateful for the interruption."Come in," he called, his voice hoarse.The door opened, and Logan stepped inside, his expression unreadable. He had been investigating James Tyler, and Xavier had been waiting for some news, though he wasn’t sure what kind of news he wanted to hear. He only knew that this man—this stranger—was somehow linked to Drake, and that meant nothing good.Logan closed the door behind him and approached Xavier's desk, sitting down without waiting for an invitation. His eyes met Xavier's with a quiet seriousness."I’ve found
The Billionaire Instant Twins Unspoken Fears
The evening was quiet as the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting an orange glow over the mansion. The air in the house felt heavy, as if it too was holding its breath, waiting for something to give. Inside Xavier’s room, the soft rustling of papers and the occasional sound of a distant voice filled the silence. Xavier sat at his desk, his eyes scanning over documents, but his mind was elsewhere. It had been a long day—too many worries piling on top of each other—and still, he couldn’t shake the feeling of being trapped in a maze he couldn’t escape.The soft knock on the door broke him from his thoughts. He turned to see Calla standing in the doorway, her expression serious but caring. She had been quiet for the past few days, perhaps sensing the weight of everything that had been happening."Xavier," Calla began, her voice low yet steady, "I need to talk to you."Xavier sighed and leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. "What is it, Calla?"She stepped inside and closed
The Billionaire Instant Twins Doubts and Dilemmas
The morning sun filtered softly through the curtains of the guest bedroom, casting a warm glow on the delicate features of Bella’s face. Yet, despite the peaceful scene, she felt anything but peaceful. Her body ached more than it used to, and her once vibrant energy had begun to wane. Her pregnancy had become to feel like a burden. Complications had started to arise, and Bella knew she couldn't ignore them much longer.She sat up in bed, holding her stomach with both hands as if trying to protect the tiny life inside her, yet it felt more like an anchor, weighing her down. She could feel the pressure of uncertainty mounting inside her. The emotional turmoil was nearly as consuming as the physical exhaustion.The door creaked open, and Bella's gaze lifted to see Calla standing in the doorway. "How are you feeling today?" Calla asked gently, her eyes scanning Bella’s face. There was no judgment in her gaze—just concern. Calla knew about her pregnancy since beginning and she also knew th
The Billionaire Instant Twins Lines Drawn
The phone call hung heavily in the air as Xavier stared at the device in his hand, his jaw clenched tight. The reality of the situation had sunk in, but it only made the questions multiply. Who was this James Tyler? What did he want? Why was he claiming Zane and Alana as his children when Xavier knew, without a shadow of a doubt, they were his?Logan sat across from Xavier in his office, arms crossed, his eyes fixed on Xavier’s every move."Are you going to call him?" Logan asked, his voice low but firm. "You can’t let this linger. The sooner you get to the bottom of it, the better."Xavier sighed deeply, running his fingers through his hair. He had just received the phone number of James Tyler from his lawyer. It felt like a final step before confronting the chaos that was beginning to unravel his life. His thoughts lingered on Zane and Alana. They were his children—no one could take that from him."I'm calling him," Xavier muttered under his breath, determination setting in. He grab
The Billionaire Instant Twins Unfamiliar Threats
The soft glow of the morning sun filtered through the windows of Xavier’s office as he sat behind his desk, reviewing documents. The silence of the room felt oddly suffocating today, as if the weight of something unspoken lingered in the air. Just as he leaned back in his chair to clear his mind, the sound of a knock at his door startled him."Come in," Xavier called out, his voice strained, tired.The door creaked open and his lawyer, Mr. Curtis, stepped in with a stern expression. "Xavier, I have something important for you," he said, holding up a letter, its edges slightly crinkled, as though it had been through a lot.Xavier's brow furrowed as he took the letter. "What is this?" he asked, eyeing the envelope, his fingers already starting to feel a twinge of anxiety.Mr. Curtis handed him the letter, his tone serious. "It’s a court summons," he said, taking a seat in front of Xavier's desk. "It claims that a man named James Tyler is asserting that Zane and Alana are his biological
The Billionaire Instant Twins Fading Hope
The car pulled into the long driveway of Xavier’s mansion, its tires crunching against the gravel. Bella sat in the passenger seat, her hands resting over her stomach protectively. Her heart pounded against her ribs, yet her lips remained pressed together in silence. She was home. Or at least, she was back in the place she left to save her dignity.Xavier glanced at her from the driver’s seat, his usual stoic expression giving nothing away. “We’re here,” he said, but his voice lacked warmth.Bella didn’t respond. She simply opened the door and stepped out. The cold evening air brushed against her skin, making her shiver. This house held too many memories—some she wanted to cling to and others she wished she could forget.Before she could take another step, the front doors burst open. Two small figures ran toward her, their cries echoing through the night.“Bella!” Zane’s voice cracked as he threw himself into her arms.“Bella, you came back!” Alana sobbed, clinging to Bella’s dress as
The Billionaire Instant Twins Shattered Vows
The heavy sound of the front door slamming echoed through the quiet mansion, and Calla barely glanced up from the book she was reading in the living room. She knew exactly who it was—Drake, stumbling in with the unmistakable scent of alcohol on his breath. He had been drinking again, and she could already feel the tension building in the air.Drake wobbled into the room, his eyes bloodshot, his movements unsteady as he leaned against the doorframe for support. He let out a low laugh, clearly intoxicated. “Calla,” he slurred, his voice rough. “Come to bed with me.”Calla didn’t flinch. She had seen this scene too many times before. His drunken advances, his attempt to control her, to drag her into his world of manipulation and pain. But not tonight. Not anymore.“No, Drake,” she said quietly, her voice firm, unwavering. “I’m not going anywhere with you.”Drake’s face twisted into a scowl. He staggered forward, trying to close the distance between them, but Calla stood up and stepped ba
The Billionaire Instant Twins A Life Unexpected
The sterile smell of the hospital room mixed with the dull hum of machines, creating an atmosphere that felt too suffocating for Bella to bear. She lay on the hospital bed, a drip running through the vein in her hand, her body still weak from the sudden collapse earlier. Her eyelids fluttered open, and her vision was blurry for a moment before it cleared. As she took in her surroundings, the reality of her situation hit her like a ton of bricks.She left Xavier's home, because he couldn't defend her. She thought that after the night of intimacy something had changed and she had gained some importance in Xavier's life. But the way Ember insulted her and Xavier remained silent, it made her realize she was wrong. She had no place and value in Xavier's life. So she left his house to safeguard her dignity. But even after leaving that place, she couldn't get peace. As Jacob didn't let her do so. He kept on pinching her ego and self respect so badly that her body and mind couldn't bear it an
