Xavier sat in his office, the hum of the fluorescent lights above him the only sound as his fingers lightly tapped on the edge of his desk. He stared at the stack of files in front of him, trying to focus on the task at hand, but his thoughts kept drifting back to the message he’d received earlier that day.

It was strange, cryptic, and unsettling—just the kind of thing that got under his skin and kept him awake at night. His phone had buzzed just hours ago with a message from an unknown number, and ever since then, it had been impossible to shake the feeling that something bigger was unfolding.

As he tried to push the thoughts from his mind, his manager, Jason, walked into the room. He looked calm but with an air of determination, and he handed Xavier a report that had clearly been prepared with great care.

    Bella was just about to settle into the peaceful quiet of her small apartment, the evening ahead stretching out like an open road with no particular plans in sight. Her thoughts kept drifting between the confusing whirlwind of Xavier’s sudden proposal and her earlier, equally baffling conversation with Jacob. She reached for the remote to turn on the television, hoping for some distraction to drown out her swirling emotions, when a sharp knock at the door interrupted her train of thought.Frowning, she glanced toward the door. She wasn’t expecting anyone, and the knock came again, more insistent this time. With a sense of curiosity and unease, Bella got up and opened the door. To her surprise, two familiar faces greeted her—Zane and Alana, both standing on her doorstep with expressions so excited and bright that it was almost disarming.“Bella!” Zane exclaimed, his voice filled with an excitement that matched the sparkle in his eyes.

  • The Billionaire Instant Twins   Contract of Convenience

    Xavier sat at his polished mahogany desk, eyes scanning the financial report laid out in front of him. The numbers swirled in his mind as he discussed key figures with the finance manager. The tension in the room was thick—Xavier’s company was in the middle of significant growth, and every detail had to be handled with precision. The weight of responsibility was on his shoulders, and he couldn't afford to let anything slip. He leaned forward slightly, tapping his fingers rhythmically against the table as he made his point clear.“Look, we need to adjust our overheads. These expenses here are going to affect our bottom line next quarter,” Xavier said, his voice sharp and commanding. He wasn't known for his patience, especially when it came to something as crucial as money.“Find ways to cut back, especially in the logistics sector. I don't want us falling behind just because of inefficiency.”The finance manager nodded eagerly, scribbling down notes. He was trying to keep up with Xavie

    Xavier leaned heavily against the bathroom counter, the steam from the hot water still thick in the air. His reflection stared back at him through the foggy mirror, his damp hair sticking to his forehead in wet strands. He didn’t even bother wiping it away.His mind was clouded with a whirlwind of thoughts he couldn’t seem to shake. He had just taken a long, hot bath, trying desperately to clear his head, but the weight of everything that had happened today had only made it worse.The proposal with Bella Abram—it wasn’t just a simple business deal. It was a proposal that would change his entire life. And not in a way he had ever imagined for himself. It was a necessary contract, one that would bind them together under the guise of a marriage, but one that was far from real.He had agreed to it, of course, but it wasn’t without hesitation. He knew that this was how things worked in his world—everything was about contracts, alliances, and deals—but what if things got complicated? What i

    Before Bella quickly looked away, a mix of wariness and reluctance clouded her gaze. She stood there, her posture unnervingly rigid, her grip on her purse so tight that her knuckles were pale. The stiffness in her shoulders and the way she seemed to shrink away from the room made it obvious that she didn’t want to be here—not in this sterile, clinical courthouse, and certainly not in the middle of this tangled mess of obligation and necessity.But despite the evident discomfort written all over her, she was here, and there was no changing that now. She was trapped in this arrangement, just as much as Xavier was.Jacob, on the other hand, wasn’t nearly as subtle. He didn’t hesitate for a moment before speaking up, his voice laced with authority that could cut through stone."I hope you’ve arranged for an apartment for my sister," he demanded, his tone cold and uncompromising, as if he had every right to dictate the terms of everything around him. His gaze, sharp and unwavering, bore in

The soft buzz of her phone broke the stillness, and she picked it up without a second thought, her heart lightening as she saw the name on the screen.It was Xavier. The sound of his voice always had a calming effect on her, and after the events of the past few days, she desperately needed that calm.“Hey, Xavier,” she said softly, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips as she answered the call.“Hey, Calla,” Xavier’s voice came through, warm and comforting.“How are you doing? I’ve been thinking about you.”“I’m okay, just… tired,” Calla replied, sinking back into the cushions, her voice quieter now.“Why you didn't come home to see dad.. he was asking about you.” Xavier asked.“I was busy with other stuff here with Drake,”

    The warm afternoon sun filtered through the tall trees lining the golf course, casting long shadows over the green grass. The sound of distant chatter, the sharp crack of golf balls being hit, and the soft rustling of leaves in the breeze filled the air. Xavier sat on a low chair in the golf club’s outdoor seating area, a half-drunk glass of whiskey in front of him. His fingers drummed nervously on the glass, the ice cubes clinking together in a constant rhythm as if reflecting his inner turmoil.Logan sat across from him, arms casually crossed, his gaze fixed on Xavier. He had been quietly observing his friend, knowing that something was weighing heavily on him. Xavier had been distant lately, withdrawn, and Logan could tell that today, something had snapped.Xavier leaned back in the chair, letting out a heavy sigh as he looked up at the cloudless sky.“I just don’t get it, Logan,” he muttered, his voice laced with frustration.“It’s like Ember just... doesn’t get it.

    The sun shone brightly on the mansion as its grand facade cast long shadows over the perfectly manicured lawn. Inside, there was an unsettling quiet in the air, the kind that often precedes a storm. Xavier was sitting in the large living room, staring out of the window, his thoughts tangled and heavy. The events of the past few days—the dance at Ember’s party, the strange discomfort he felt seeing David so close to Bella—had left him disoriented. He couldn’t make sense of it, and every time he tried to, a knot of unease tightened in his chest.The doorbell rang, and Xavier’s pulse quickened. He didn’t have to look to know who it was. It had to be Ember. The sound of her high heels on the marble floors was unmistakable. A moment later, Ember walked into the living room, her expression fierce, her body radiating a quiet anger. And with her, stood David Miller.David, as usual, wore his cocky grin, the kind that never seemed to reach his eyes. But his eyes, as always, were glued to Bella

Music played softly in the background, the hum of conversation mixing with laughter and the clinking of champagne glasses.Bella entered the hall, her simple, modest dress standing in stark contrast to the opulence around her. She felt out of place for a brief moment, but she reminded herself why she was here—Ember had invited her, and although it felt like a trap, there was a part of Bella that hoped this could be a step toward reconciliation. Ember had called her earlier, apologizing profusely for her past behavior and asking her to come as a guest of honor to her birthday party."I just want to make things right, Bella," Ember had said."I want to start

It was a tranquil moment, one Xavier hadn't realized how badly he needed—until Ember walked in.Ember entered with her friends, her laughter ringing through the restaurant, but it quickly fell silent as her gaze landed on the table where Xavier and Bella sat with Zane and Alana. For a split second, her face tightened, and an unsettling feeling crept up her spine. She hadn’t expected to see them together, especially not in this setting, so open and public. Ember’s steps faltered, and her friends noticed the sudden shift in her demeanor.“Oh my God, Ember, look,” one of her friends

Their joy was palpable, and Xavier couldn’t help but smile at the sight of his children enjoying themselves with their aunt. But as his gaze shifted, he couldn’t ignore the tension he felt in the air between himself and Bella.He looked at her, the soft glow of the setting sun catching her features, making her look more beautiful than ever. Her eyes, though, seemed distant, lost in thought. He could see the way she clenched her hands on the table, as though bracing herself for something."You know," Xavier began, his voice hesitant,"you’ve got your U.S. residency visa now. No one can deport you."Bella's face softened, and a small, genuine smile appeared on her lips.“Thank you, Xavier,” she said quietly, her voice full of gratitude. It was a simple acknowled

    The sun hung low in the sky, casting a warm golden glow across the garden outside the mansion. The air was still, save for the occasional rustle of leaves in the trees. Inside the house, the living room felt unusually quiet. The sounds of the children’s laughter and playful energy had vanished when Logan had taken Zane and Alana out for the promised outing. Bella, for the first time in what felt like a long while, was alone.Jacob had gone back and Bella couldn’t shake the unease in her heart. The conversation she had had with Jacob lingered in her mind, the cruel words he had spoken still echoing in the back of her mind.

    The grand mansion stood quietly, with the faint hum of the heating system and the soft creak of wooden floors underfoot. The house was at peace, at least on the surface. The staff was diligently going about their duties, and Xavier was still at work, locked away in his study, as usual. But in the grand living room, the usual peace was disturbed by the mischievous energy of Zane and Alana, who were deep into a game of tag, laughing and running circles around the furniture.Meanwhile, a shadow appeared at the front door. It was Jacob and his eyes scanning the space. He caught sight of the house help and waved her off, muttering a dismissive“I’ll take care of things from here.” He watched the staff member nod and leave, her footsteps echoing down the hallway as she made her way out of sight.As the house fell silent again, Jacob’s eyes quickly shifted toward Zane and Alana.
