The Billionaire Instant Twins Treading Carefully
Xavier’s car slowly came to a stop in front of the grand estate, its tires crunching lightly against the gravel driveway. The tall iron gates creaked as they began to swing open, revealing the long, pristine path that led up to the impressive home he had built.The mansion loomed in the distance, its windows reflecting the last rays of the evening sun. Xavier took a moment to appreciate the stillness around him before turning his attention back to Bella, his expression serious, his mind heavy with the weight of the decision he had just made.“Bella,” he began, his voice low, thick with command. “We have to keep this marriage a secret. No one can know about it. Not a single person, not even the ones closest to us.”Bella nodded, her gaze unwavering as she absorbed his words. The gravity of the situation wasn’t lost on her, and she understood fully the implications of what he was asking. “That’s wise,” she agreed, her voice steady, though there was a quiet edge of uncertainty that slipp

Calla stood in the doorway, her eyes following Drake as he moved around the kitchen with an unexpected grace. She could smell the familiar scent of baking pizza, the tang of tomato sauce mingling with the richness of melted cheese. Her eyebrows lifted in surprise as she watched him work.Drake, the same man who once couldn’t even make toast without setting off the smoke alarm, was now completely absorbed in the process of creating something as seemingly simple, yet so complex. His hands were covered in flour, the dough spread out in front of him, and he was delicately arranging the toppings. It was a sight she never imagined she’d see, and somehow, it made him seem more real, more present."Drake?" she asked, a teasing lilt in her voice."You’re baking a pizza?"Drake looked over his shoulder, a sheepish grin spreading across his face. He seemed almost embarrassed by the fact, but his pride in the work he was doing was clear. As he sprinkled cheese over the pizza dough, his gaze met h

Xavier’s hands wrapped tightly around the steering wheel as he maneuvered through the thick evening traffic, the steady hum of the engine underneath him providing a sense of familiarity and calm. But despite the comforting rhythm of the drive, his thoughts were far from settled.The phone call from his manager earlier had set his mind spinning with questions, doubts, and growing suspicion. There were still so many unanswered questions when it came to Leila and the mysterious network of connections she seemed to be part of. Now, with Priya Verma unexpectedly entering the scene, everything felt even more tangled.As if on cue, Xavier’s phone buzzed, breaking his train of thought. He picked it up quickly, not wasting any time, and answered before the second ring.“Xavier,” his manager’s voice crackled sharply through the speaker. “I’ve got news for you.”Xavier’s brows furrowed as his grip on the wheel instinctively tightened. “What did you find out about Priya Verma?” he asked, his voic

The sun was already high in the sky by the time Xavier finally left Ember’s apartment. He stepped out into the cool, crisp air of the early morning, the sunlight harsh and unforgiving as it hit his eyes. The night he had spent there had been a much-needed distraction, a temporary break from the mounting stress that seemed to follow him like a shadow.But now, as he stood outside, the weight of reality came rushing back with a vengeance. The secrets, the lies, the tangled webs of his life—all of it seemed to hit him with even more force now, as if the night of temporary relief had only made it all feel heavier than before.He made his way back to his place, his footsteps slow, deliberate, as he tried to push the disorienting thoughts from his mind. He knew that once he stepped into his own apartment, the day would begin, and there was no escaping it. There were too many things on his to-do list—tasks that demanded his full attention. As much as he longed for a moment of peace, he knew

The trip provided her with much-needed clarity, and she was eager to return home to share her newfound happiness with her family.She had even bought small gifts for everyone—Zane, Alana, and Xavier. She had hoped the presents might serve as a gesture of goodwill, a bridge to mend the emotional distance that had developed between them. She desperately wanted to repair whatever damage had been done, to offer them a glimpse of the joy she had found with Drake.As Calla pulled up to Xavier’s mansion, a mix of excitement and nervousness settled in her chest.

Today wasn’t just any other day—today, she was determined to do something special for Zane and Alana.It had been a few weeks since she’d become their caretaker, and while the adjustment had come with its challenges, Bella had quickly developed a deep affection for the kids. They were a handful, no doubt, but their energy was infectious. They had quickly become like family to her—like younger siblings she never had before.With a smile, Bella stretched and got out of bed, feeling a quiet excitement in her chest. There was something about this role that filled her with warmth and a sense of joy she hadn’t expected. Today, she thought, I’m going to surprise them with pancakes for breakfast.

Xavier, dressed in his usual sharp, tailored attire, was preparing to leave the house. His friends had invited him out for drinks, and after a week filled with tensions and unresolved issues, he was eager for a break. The prospect of a night out with them was exactly what he needed. He grabbed his car keys and made his way toward the door, ready to escape the weight of the week.Just as he was about to step out, Bella's voice stopped him."Xavier," she called, her tone calm but with an unmistakable assertiveness.He turned around, already knowing she had something to say. Bella had been handling things at home remarkably well, but today, her usual calm demeanor was replaced with a quiet determination."Yes?" he replied, his patience already starting to wear thin. He had plans, after all."I’m just about to head out and meet up with some friends," Bella said, her expression unchanging. But there was a firmness in her voice, a quiet strength that made Xavier pause."I need you to take Z

It was the first day after Zane and Alana’s suspension had ended, and Bella finally had a rare moment to herself. The twins had left early for school, and with her usual duties momentarily on hold, she decided to take a much-needed trip to the nearby market.She’d been so focused on taking care of others for the past few weeks that she had neglected her own needs, and now, she wanted some time away from it all. It wasn’t just about the errands—it was about her taking care of herself, something she hadn’t done in far too long.The market was a bustling superstore, filled with the sounds of people hurrying through aisles, pushing carts, and the familiar background hum of announcements. Bella wandered through the store, gathering essentials: shampoo, conditioner, soap, and a few beauty products she hadn’t treated herself to in months.As she walked through the aisles, she felt a little guilty for taking this time for herself, but also strangely liberated. Her gaze wandered across the she

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
