The Billionaire's Broken Vow A Midnight Call
The shrill ring of a phone pierced through the stillness of the night, jolting me awake. I blinked groggily, my eyes adjusting to the darkness as I turned to look at the alarm clock on the nightstand. 3:00 AM. My heart sank as I realized who was likely on the phone.Next to me, Leonard was already answering the call, his movements swift and purposeful. I watched as he answered, his voice low and concerned. "Charlotte? What's wrong?"I didn't need to hear the other side of the conversation to know what was happening. This scene had played out countless times before, always the same. Charlotte, Leonard's childhood friend and a constant thorn in my side, calling in the middle of the night, needing my husband. And Leonard, ever the knight in shining armor, rushing to her side without hesitation."I'll be right there," Leonard said, already getting out of bed. I watched as he moved around the room, quickly pulling on clothes."Leonard," I said softly, sitting up in bed. "It's pouring outsi
The Billionaire's Broken Vow Unspoken Truths
With a heavy heart, I got up and started to get ready for the day. As I showered and dressed, I tried to push away the hurt and focus on the positive. Leonard had promised to take me out for our anniversary dinner. Maybe there, in the romantic atmosphere of a nice restaurant, I could finally tell him about the baby. Maybe this would be the turning point we needed.As I applied my makeup, I caught sight of myself in the mirror. The woman staring back at me looked older than my twenty-five years. Dark circles rimmed my bloodshot eyes, my face haggard and much too thin. Where was the bright-eyed, hopeful girl who had fallen in love with Leonard Parker? I took a deep breath, straightening my shoulders. She was still there, underneath it all. And today, on our anniversary, I was determined to make her shine through.I spent the rest of the day at Luxe where I had begged for an emergency appointment. Despite all the spa treatments, I stayed in a state of nervous anticipation. My heart leapt

"Actually, before you say anything, there's something I need to tell you, too." He paused, and I felt my heart sink. Somehow, I knew what was coming. "I'm going to Germany in two weeks. With Charlotte."The words hit me like a physical blow. "Germany? But... why?"Leonard's eyes lit up with an enthusiasm I rarely saw directed at me anymore. "There's a new experimental treatment available there. It could help Charlotte regain the use of her legs. This could be the breakthrough we've been waiting for."I listened as he went on about the treatment, the specialists, the potential outcomes. With each word, I felt myself fading into the background of his life, just as I always did when Charlotte was involved."How long will you be gone?" I asked when he finally paused for breath."A month, maybe two," he replied, not seeming to notice my distress. "It depends on how the treatment progresses."Two months. The words echoed in my head. Two months without my husband, during the early stages of
The Billionaire's Broken Vow Shifting Tides
The next two weeks passed in a blur of activity and mounting tension. Leonard was rarely home, caught up in preparations for his trip to Germany with Charlotte. I threw myself into my work, taking on extra projects to keep my mind occupied. The pregnancy was still my secret, a small flame of hope I nursed quietly, growing increasingly unsure of when or how to share the news with Leonard.One evening, I came home to find Leonard in his home office, poring over some documents. I paused in the doorway, taking in the sight of him. He looked tired, the lines around his eyes more pronounced than usual."Hey," I said softly, making him look up. "You're home early."He barely glanced at me. "Just going over some last-minute details for the trip. How was your day?"I stepped into the office, perching on the edge of his desk. "Busy. I've taken on a new project at work -redesigning the city's community center."Leonard nodded absently, his attention already back on his papers. "That's nice, Clai
The Billionaire's Broken Vow Family Matters
Shortly before Leonard and Charlotte’s trip, we were invited to Leonard’s grandmother’s eightieth birthday celebration. My heart held out a small hope that perhaps, surrounded by family, Leonard would soften his stance on the pregnancy. Perhaps he would finally see me as an equal partner in our marriage, not just a convenient companion overshadowed by Charlotte's constant presence.The morning of his grandmother's party dawned bright and clear, a stark contrast to the tumultuous emotions swirling within me. As I stood before the mirror, carefully applying my makeup, I couldn't help but feel a mixture of anxiety and hope. Smoothing down my dress, a elegant emerald green number that I hoped would impress Leonard's family, my hand lingered over my still-flat stomach. Our secret was there, growing stronger each day, and I longed to share it with Leonard. But every time I tried, something – or someone – always seemed to get in the way.How naive I was to think this day would be any differ

I stared at her, shocked by the cruelty of her words. All the pent-up frustration and anger I'd been holding back threatened to burst forth. But before I could respond, I noticed her wheelchair seemed stuck on something.Without thinking, I bent down to check the wheels. It was then that I felt a hard shove against my back.I stumbled forward, my arms pinwheeling, desperately afraid to fall on my stomach. Time seemed to stand still as I pulled myself upright and watched in horror as Charlotte's wheelchair began to speed down the hill. Charlotte's high-pitched scream caused time to snap back into real time. I ran after her as fast as I could trying to catch her, my legs feeling like lead, my lungs burning as I gasped for air.But it was too late. The wheelchair hit a rock and tipped, sending Charlotte tumbling to the ground. As I finally reached her, my breath coming in ragged gasps, I saw blood on her forehead. I reached for her instinctively. And then I heard Leonard's horrified voic
The Billionaire's Broken Vow My Decision
The world spun around me as I stumbled out the front door, my vision blurring and my legs threatening to give way beneath me. I barely managed to stay upright as I stumbled across the driveway, the small white gravel crunching beneath my unsteady feet. With each step, the tiny stones shifted and rolled, making my already precarious balance even more treacherous.Finally, my strength gave out entirely. I collapsed onto the driveway, the sharp edges of the gravel digging into my skin. The weight of everything that had just transpired crushed down upon me, making it hard to breathe. My mother's cries still echoed in my ears, mingling with the harsh words Leonard had spat at me. How had everything fallen apart so quickly?I'm not sure how long I lay there, teetering on the edge of consciousness, before I heard the front door open again. Footsteps crunched across the gravel, growing louder as they approached."Claire! Oh my God, Claire!"Amelia's voice cut through the fog in my mind, laced with
The Billionaire's Broken Vow His Wife
After being discharged from the ER with strict instructions to rest, my first priority was checking on my mother. A nurse directed me to the orthopedic floor, where I found my brother pacing outside a room, his face lined with worry. "Claire!" he exclaimed when he saw me, rushing over to envelope me in a crushing hug. "Where have you been? I've been trying to reach you for hours!" I melted into his embrace, feeling some of the tension leave my body. "I'm sorry," I murmured. "There was... a lot happening. How's Mom?" He pulled back, his expression a mix of relief and lingering concern. "She's got a fractured wrist and a cut on her forehead, but otherwise she's okay. They want to keep her overnight for observation because of her age, but she should be able to go home tomorrow." I nodded, guilt gnawing at me. I knew there was nothing I could have done, but not being immediately available to my mom tore at my gut. "Can I see her?" I asked. My brother hesitated. "She's resting now.
