The Billionaire's Caregiver The Invitation
Noah sat across from Mama, his hands clasped together. He had rehearsed this conversation in his head a hundred times, but now that he was here, the words felt heavier than he expected.Finally, he exhaled and said, “I’ve made a decision, Mama.”Mama, who had been leisurely sipping her tea, paused and met his gaze. “Oh?”“I’m joining the AirForce,” Noah said, forcing the words out. “Training starts soon.”Mama’s eyes widened, but then a warm smile spread across her face. “Oh, my boy… I’m so proud of you.”His shoulders relaxed. “You are?”“Of course, I am,” she said, reaching for his hands. “This is big, Noah. It takes courage to follow your path. I know you’ll do well.”Noah exhaled, relieved. He had expected her to worry, maybe even try to talk him out of it. But she understood. She always did.“I just…” She studied him carefully. “I have to ask you something.”He raised a brow. “What is it, Mama Bear?”She sighed before speaking again. “Leah.”Noah’s expression faltered for a split

At Jeremy's mansion, the party was in full swing. Laughter, clinking glasses, and soft music filled the air as guests moved around, chatting and enjoying the night. But Jeremy hardly noticed any of it.He watched the door every now and then, hoping Leah would walk right through.He wished.Hoped.Maggie, watching him closely, sighed and walked over. “Jeremy.”He barely looked at her. “Yeah?”“You need to stop.”“Stop what?”She gave him a pointed look. “You know what.”Jeremy exhaled, running a hand through his hair. “I just… I don’t know if she’ll come.”Maggie crossed her arms. “And if she doesn’t?”Jeremy clenched his jaw. “Then I’ll know where we stand.”Maggie shook her head. “You already know where you stand, Jeremy. She’s with someone else now.”Jeremy scoffed. “She was with me first.”Maggie frowned. “And you were the one who let her go.”Jeremy looked away, gripping his glass tighter.“Look, I get it. You miss her. You regret what happened. But you can’t just expect her to dr

Leah exhaled, her fingers tightening around her clutch. “Noah, I think I’m ready to leave.”Noah glanced at her. She looked exhausted, mentally, emotionally. He wasn’t surprised.He nodded. “Alright.”They found Maggie near the bar, sipping on a cocktail and chatting with an old friend. When she spotted Leah, her face softened with warmth, and something else. Was it understanding? Pity? Leah wasn’t sure, but it made her nervous.“You’re leaving?” Maggie asked gently.Leah nodded. “Yeah. It’s been a long day.”Maggie reached out, squeezing her hand. “I’m glad you came.”Leah managed a small smile. “Me too.”Maggie studied her for a moment, as if she could see everything Leah was trying to bury inside. “Take care of yourself, okay?”Leah swallowed. “I will,” she said, her voice sounding weak.Jeremy appeared beside them, his sharp gaze flicking between her and Noah. “Leaving already?”Leah turned to him, her throat dry. “Yeah,” she replied.Jeremy sighed, shoving his hands in his pocket

Leah hesitated as she stood by the door, staring at her phone. Jeremy had asked her to meet him outside, briefly. He said he just wanted to talk.She shouldn't. She knew that. But her fingers had already curled around the handle, and before she could change her mind, she stepped outside.Jeremy was waiting in his car, the engine running, the dim glow of the dashboard highlighting his face. His expression was unreadable, but there was something in his eyes, something that made Leah’s heart clench.She opened the passenger door and slid into the seat. "Why are you here, Jeremy?" She asked, her voice sharp.He exhaled, running a hand through his hair. "Leah,” he said, looking at her like he could eat her.“Come with me. Let’s drive somewhere."Leah shook her head. "No. If you have something to say, say it here. It’s late."Jeremy studied her, then nodded slowly. "Alright, since you insist..."He leaned closer, his scent familiar, intoxicating. Before she could react, his lips brushed aga

Leah stood before her full-length mirror, smoothing her hands down the fabric of her dress. She had already tried on four different outfits, discarding each one with increasing frustration, but this one… this one felt right. Classy yet understated, hugging her curves in all the right places, elegant but still striking. It was perfect.And, most importantly, it would make Jeremy’s breath catch the moment he laid eyes on her.She reached for her lipstick, applying a soft shade that complemented her glowing skin. As she stared at her reflection, she couldn't ignore the warmth in her cheeks, the unmistakable light in her eyes. She was radiating happiness, glowing.And there was only one reason why.Last night had been everything; passionate, intense, a collision of longing and relief. She had missed him, and he had missed her. The way he had held her, the way he had whispered her name, the way his lips had claimed hers as if making up for every second they had spent apartIt was undeniabl

Leah came back home and as she stepped through the front door, she sighed as the familiar scent of home wrapped around her. It was comforting, grounding, but tonight, it wasn’t enough to quiet her thoughts."You're back early," her mother noted.Leah forced a small smile. "Yeah. Just tired."Her mother gave her a long look, the kind only mothers could give; the kind that saw right through you. But she didn’t push."Go shower," her mother said instead, setting down the magazine she had been flipping through. "Keira made some pepper soup. It’ll help you relax."Leah nodded and headed to her room.– – –By the time she returned to the living room in comfortable loungewear, her mother was settled in her wheelchair, the TV remote in her hand. Leah curled into the armchair across from her, hugging a pillow to her chest. She tried to appear normal, casual even, but she felt her mother’s eyes flick toward her now and then, studying her."You look like someone with a lot on her mind," her mot

Leah grabbed her car keys from the counter, ignoring the way her mother watched her from across the room, arms folded, face set in an expression Leah knew too well."You need a driver," her mother finally said.Leah sighed, slipping on her coat. "I’m a good driver, Mom."Her mother’s frown deepened. "That’s not the point. It’s a long drive, and I know you. You get lost in your thoughts.""I’ll be fine," Leah assured her, moving toward the door.Her mother followed. "At least let Jeremy take you.""Mom." Leah turned, exasperated. "It’s a private meeting. I don’t need Jeremy or anyone else involved."Her mother’s lips pressed together, worry evident in her eyes. "Then be careful. That woman….""....can’t touch me from behind bars," Leah finished, trying to sound more confident than she felt.Her mother exhaled. "Leah…""I’ll be fine, I promise," she said, her tone firm.She kissed her mother’s cheek quickly and stepped out before she could hear another argument.As she walked to her car

Leah stepped through the front door, looking very exhausted after the long drive. Perhaps, her mother was right that she needed a driver.She barely had time to breathe before the sound of raised voices hit her."Ivan, stay out of my business!" Keira’s voice rang through the house."Your business? You were in my room again!" Ivan shot back, his tone just as heated.Leah let out a slow breath through her nose, shaking her head. Here we go again."How many times do I have to tell you? Stay away from my stuff!" Ivan continued, his frustration echoing off the walls."You act like I was stealing something!" Keira yelled. "I was just looking for my charger!""It’s not my problem that you can’t keep track of your own things!" Ivan snapped.Leah sighed, pinching her nose. This was nothing new. Ivan and Keira had been at each other’s throats for as long as she could remember, and no amount of lecturing or scolding ever seemed to stop their endless bickering. It was just a normal part of life i

The Billionaire's Caregiver The Last Goodbye
Jeremy could hear his pulse thundering in his ears as he stared down the barrel of Big Margaret’s gun. The room was tense, air thick with danger and fear. He could hear Leah's cries, muffled and desperate, cutting through the chaos. His heart beat harder with every second that ticked by, and in that moment, something inside him snapped.With a roar of rage and courage, Jeremy moved forward.Big Margaret hadn’t expected it. Her moment of triumph turned to confusion as Jeremy charged. He crashed into her, knocking her sideways. In the same motion, his hand seized the cold steel of her pistol. They struggled for control, her hands clawing at his, but Jeremy was faster. Fueled by fury and desperation, he took the weapon from her.Without hesitation, Jeremy spun toward the armed guard, who was already raising his gun to fire.BANG!The guard was shot down before he could even pull the trigger. Blood splattered across the tiled floor as the body dropped to the ground. Jeremy didn’t flinch.
The Billionaire's Caregiver Chains And Gunfire
Leah didn't go home after office hours that day. She rotated herself in her chair, her mind spinning on the recent events, until sleep found her.She had rested her head on the table, hoping to rest only for a little while, but sleep came like a thief and dragged her into unconsciousness.When she opened her eyes, the world around her had changed.This wasn't her office.Her neck ached as she jerked upright, blinking rapidly as she observed the surroundings. Cold, clean air. A dim light from a nearby desk lamp. Her eyes adjusted to the space, and that’s when she realized where she was.Jeremy's office? How?She looked at her wristwatch. It was past 9 PM. She tried to get up when she noticed she'd been tied to the chair she was sitting on. What the heck! She struggled to break free, twisting her body violently, testing the binds, but the ropes held firm. “What the hell is going on?” she muttered, her voice shaky.“Hello!” she called out, but she only heard the echoes of her own voice
The Billionaire's Caregiver Space Between Seconds
Elizabeth was preparing to go to the office that morning when she slummed.Thankfully, her mother, Mrs. Callahan was present.She quickly made a phone call and requested for an ambulance, and in no time, the ambulance arrived.The nurses moved swiftly, the hum of overhead fluorescent lights, and the wheeled gurney rushing past in a blur. On it lay Elizabeth, her body weak, trembling, her breathing shallow and erratic. Maggie stood frozen, her heart pounding like a war drum in her chest as she watched the hospital staff work swiftly around her.Alfred was by Elizabeth’s side, passing instructions to the nurses, his voice tight with urgency. He had tried to remain composed for as long as he could, but this—this was different. Elizabeth’s lips had turned a terrifying shade of blue by the time they arrived, and her eyes, though they were open, they seemed to flutter between consciousness and something far more terrifying.As the nurses wheeled Elizabeth into the emergency room, the doors
The Billionaire's Caregiver Blood Isn't Blind
Ivan had been invited by the board members, and as soon as he arrived, two police men covered him.“Ivan Fisher,” one of the police men said. “You're under arrest fo the attempted murder of Leah Fisher.”His hands were cuffed behind his back as he stepped out with the police men, the flash of red and blue lights reflected off the glass doors, casting eerie shadows across his face. The officers barely spoke as they read him his rights. There was no need for dramatics. The real spectacle was the betrayal written across Ivan’s eyes.Monica stood still. She didn’t cry, didn’t plead. She just watched, her lips tight and her shoulders stiff. Then she rushed to her station and was quickly clearing her desk, as if trying to run away and never return.Leah couldn't understand what was happening. Who had called the police on Ivan? He was being arrested for orchestrating her accident. She didn't report it even after she found out. Then who did?Was it Monica? Had she doublecrossed Ivan?She ru
The Billionaire's Caregiver The Second Strike
The rain had stopped by morning, but the world felt no lighter. Leah stood in the kitchen, the mug in her hands long gone cold. Her thoughts spun in a thousand directions, each one pulling at a different thread of betrayal.Jeremy entered, still in the same shirt from the night before. “No sleep?”Leah shook her head. “Sleep feels like a luxury I can’t afford.”He leaned against the counter. “I combed through more of the files. Ivan didn’t just want to remove you from the board… he wanted to erase your entire claim. Financially. Legally. He’s built a case against you using your amnesia.”Leah set her mug down. “And Monica?”“She’s been a go-between. Messages. Meetings. Hush-hush coordination. But it gets worse. There are references to a player, someone labeled as M. Ivan’s not acting alone.”Leah’s eyes narrowed. “M? Same as C. M. Voss, or a different person” Jeremy shook his head. “I have no idea. But whoever M is… they’ve funded parts of this. Masked transfers. Multiple shell compa

“I know it hurts and you're upset, but you can't be at war with your brother,” Noah said, his voice filled with concern as he leaned forward on the couch, the phone pressed tightly on his ear. The atmosphere in his apartment was quiet, except for the distant hum of traffic outside his window.On the other end of the call, Leah let out a bitter laugh, one that sounded more like a scoff than amusement. “My enemy, you mean. He staged the war. He hates me with a passion. You don't understand, Noah.” Her voice trembled slightly, the pain and betrayal etched into every syllable. “Forget it. How are you?”“I'm good. Hey, buddy. Handle this with wisdom, please. Tell mama about it,” Noah advised.“I don't want to trouble that poor woman. She's already been through too much. I'll handle Ivan. Don't worry,” Leah said firmly. There was a finality in her tone. “I gotta go. Talk later.”“Alright. Bye,” Noah said softly before hanging up.He set his phone down and sat still for a moment, absorbing e
The Billionaire's Caregiver A War Within
Rain tapped gently against the windows as Leah sat at her desk, rereading one of the letters Noah had given her. Ivan’s words were written with raw emotion; part regret, part bitterness. But one line lingered in her mind like an echo:"You forgot us and chose a stranger. Even in forgetfulness, you chose Maggie."Leah stared at the sentence, her lips parting in disbelief. It didn’t sit right. Not just because of the words themselves, but because of the intent. The accusation wasn’t about memory. It was about betrayal. As if her amnesia was a weapon she had wielded on purpose.Her chest tightened. Something deeper lurked beneath the surface of these letters.She flipped through the other letters again, this time slower, looking beyond the words. The tone varied. Some were loving, others accusatory. But a few of them… they were cold. Detached. Like they weren’t written for healing but for reminding her of a debt.Leah frowned. Why would someone write you letters you were never meant to r
The Billionaire's Caregiver Always, Even In Pieces.
The early morning rays slipped lazily through the half-open blinds, shining on Leah’s face as she stirred beneath the sheets. Jeremy’s arm was still around her, his breathing calm and even. For a brief moment, the world felt safe. No traitors, no secrets, no pain. Just warmth.But safety was an illusion, and Leah knew it.She sat up quietly, careful not to wake Jeremy, and reached for her phone. She hadn’t checked it since the night before, wanting to be present with him. Her inbox was flooded with emails, but one stood out. It was from Sarah, her father's former assistant, now working quietly in legal. The subject line simply read:“We need to talk. In person.”Leah’s pulse quickened. Sarah wasn’t one to panic. If she was reaching out like this, it meant something big. Leah’s mind went straight to the file. Could Sarah have discovered something?Just then, Jeremy stirred and opened his eyes, blinking away the light. His voice was raspy with sleep. “Already up?”Leah nodded, showing h
The Billionaire's Caregiver Tethered By Love
Leah and Jeremy laid cuddled up in bed and were having a heart to heart talk.Jeremy ran his fingers gently through Leah’s hair, his touch slow and deliberate. He watched the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed in rhythm with his own heartbeat. She looked peaceful, yet alert—her eyes slightly closed, her fingers idly tracing circles on his chest.After a few moments of silence, Jeremy broke it.“How many kids would you like to have?” he asked, his voice soft but steady.Leah blinked, then tilted her head back slightly to look up at him. “Huh?” she said, scrunching her nose in that endearing way she always did when she was confused or caught off guard. “Why are we having this conversation now?”“Why not?” Jeremy shrugged, adjusting himself slightly so he could see her face better. “We’ll get married, won’t we?”Leah’s cheeks flushed instantly. She looked away, biting her lower lip as a shy smile crept onto her face. “You aren't romantic at all,” she teased. “What a poor way of p
