The Billionaire’s Redemption A Night of Chaos
Adrian sat at his desk, his laptop screen filled with documents and emails that needed urgent attention. His company had been running smoothly in his absence, but there were still issues that required his input. It had been days since he started spending time with Liam and Nadine, and though he wanted to see them again today, work was piling up.His phone buzzed beside him, and he picked it up to see Nadine’s name flashing on the screen. A small smile tugged at his lips as he answered.“Hey,” he said, leaning back in his chair.“Hey,” she responded, her voice softer than usual. “Are you coming over today?”Adrian sighed. “I really want to, but I have a lot of work to catch up on. I have meetings lined up, and my team needs me.”There was a brief pause on the other end, and Adrian could sense the disappointment in Nadine’s silence.“I understand,” she finally said. “Work comes first. Just let me know when you’re free again.”“I promise I’ll make it up to you and Liam,” Adrian reassured

Nadine sat on the cold pavement, her arms wrapped around Liam as they watched their home burn. Tears streamed down her face, though she barely noticed. The flames crackled, smoke rising into the dark sky. Firefighters worked to put out the fire, but it was already too late—the house was gone. Everything she had built, every memory she had made with Liam, was now ash.Liam clung to her, his small body shaking. “Mommy… my toys… my drawings…” his voice broke, and Nadine’s heart shattered into pieces.She kissed the top of his head, trying to stay strong. “It’s okay, baby. Mommy’s here.” But deep down, she didn’t know what to do next.Just then, the sound of a car screeching to a stop made her look up. A black SUV pulled over, and before she could react, Adrian was running toward them. His face was full of worry, his eyes scanning them for any injuries.“Nadine! Liam!” He crouched in front of them, breathing heavily. “Are you okay?”Liam turned and saw Adrian. Without thinking, he ran int

Adrian sat in his study, the glow of his laptop screen the only source of light in the dim room. It was late, but he couldn’t sleep. Not after everything that had happened. Nadine and Liam were finally safe, resting in the rooms he had prepared for them in his penthouse. But Adrian couldn’t shake the unease in his chest.Whoever had tried to kidnap Liam and burned down their house wasn’t just an ordinary criminal. This was personal. Someone was sending a message, and Adrian needed to find out who.He sighed, rubbing his temples as he switched between work emails and security reports. He had already hired a team to investigate, but so far, they had no solid leads. The thought of Nadine and Liam being in danger made his blood boil. He had failed them once before—he wouldn’t let it happen again.Then, his phone buzzed on the table.Adrian picked it up, expecting a work email or a message from Marcus.

The morning sunlight streamed through the wide windows of the penthouse, casting a soft golden glow on everything inside. Nadine blinked awake, momentarily disoriented. It took her a second to remember where she was. This wasn’t her small, cozy home. It was Adrian’s penthouse, the place he had brought them to after their house burned down.She sat up slowly, stretching as she looked around. The bed was soft, the sheets smooth against her skin. She wasn’t used to this kind of luxury. Everything in this place screamed wealth, from the expensive furniture to the chandelier hanging in the center of the room. It made her feel out of place, like she didn’t belong here.Nadine swung her legs off the bed and stood up. She needed a shower to clear her mind. As she walked into the bathroom, she stopped in surprise.Everything she used was here.Her favorite skincare products were neatly arranged on the counter. The shampoo and conditioner she always bought were placed right beside the bathtub

Nadine sat on the couch, her fingers gripping the edge of her dress as she watched Adrian pace back and forth in front of her. His jaw was clenched, his hands balled into fists, and his mind seemed to be elsewhere. She knew exactly what he was thinking—Vanessa. The woman who had made her life a living nightmare without Nadine even knowing her personally.After everything that had happened, Adrian had told her the truth. He had laid everything bare—Vanessa’s threats, her manipulations, and how she had been the one behind all the terrible things that had happened to them. The house burning down, the attempted kidnapping, the messages she sent to Adrian, warning him to return or suffer the consequences.It had been a lot to take in, and Nadine had needed time to process it all. But now, she had made up her mind.She took a deep breath and stood up. “I’m coming with you,” she said firmly.Adrian stopped pacing and turned to her, his brows furrowing. “What?”“If you’re really doing this

Nadine glanced around the room, buzzing with soft chatters, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. The party was going smoothly as she had planned."Champagne, Miss?" a waiter asked politely, holding out a tray. Her gaze shifted to the glass of champagne, but her hand instinctively went to her belly."No, thank you," Nadine declined with a soft smile.The waiter nodded in understanding and walked away."Mommy can't have any alcohol. I have to take care of you, my little one," Nadine whispered, her lips curving into a tender smile. "I can't wait to tell Daddy about you. He's going to be so excited, and maybe he'll finally stop acting distant."Adrian, her boyfriend, had been avoiding her lately, going on more business trips, having fewer conversations, and a coldness she couldn't explain. She figured he was stressed, which was why she planned this party to celebrate his latest business success.It was the perfect opportunity to share her big news. "I'm so excited," Nadine giggled sof

Two years later. The Manhattan skyline glimmered against the glass windows of Adrian's luxurious office. But the natural beauty couldn't ease his exasperation. "How long will it take you before you find her?" Adrian questioned, his voice tinged with desperation. "Mr. Blackwell—" Craig, his investigator, began cautiously. "It's been two years of searching the country for Nadine, and I'm not happy about the constant disappointments," Adrian snapped, his voice rising. "There have been no trace or sign of her. It's like you aren't even looking at all." "Mr. Blackwell, that's why I came here today," Craig said, retrieving an envelope from his briefcase. "A woman was spotted in a small coastal town called Seabrook Haven. She works at a small and quiet café." He handed the envelope to Adrian, who swiftly collected it and pulled out a picture. Adrian's hands trembled as he peered down at the photograph of a woman leaving a cafe.Her face wasn't entirely clear but he was certain that

Adrian was about to get to the door, but he suddenly froze on the spot. His hands clenched, beads of sweat forming on his palms despite the cool air."I didn't come all this way to turn back," Adrian said, but found his steps withdrawing.He didn't know how he was going to approach Nadine. Would she forgive him? Let him see the child that could be his? How much had she changed? Could she still be the sweet girl that he knew? Well, that wouldn't be possible, not after what he did to her. There were too many questions that were left unanswered. Was he truly really to learn those answers?"I can't," he shook his head, turning away from the Cafe. "I'll come here tomorrow. I'm sure she'll be around."He quickly returned to his car, and started the engine. As he drove off, Clara stepped out of the café. She had seen his car earlier and thought he was coming into their café."He left?" she uttered, lifting her brows. "I thought we were going to have a rich customer. Damn it." Pursing her

The Billionaire’s Redemption A Step Closer
The past few days had been different. Nadine wasn’t sure how it happened, but Adrian was becoming a part of Liam’s life. At first, she had only allowed Adrian to see Liam because she thought it was the right thing to do. But now… now she was starting to feel something else.She wouldn’t call it love. No, she refused to. But watching Adrian and Liam together made something in her chest tighten in a way she hadn’t felt in years.She shook the thought away as she set the table for dinner. Clara had suggested a small gathering, a way for them all to relax. At first, Nadine had wanted to say no. Having Adrian in her house, sitting at the same table as her, felt too personal. But somehow, she found herself agreeing.And now, here she was, preparing food while Liam sat on the floor, drawing something.“Mommy, is Uncle Adrian coming?” Liam asked without looking up.Nadine’s fingers tightened around the spoon she was holding. Uncle Adrian. The words felt strange, but she knew that was better t
The Billionaire’s Redemption A Growing Bond
Nadine was in the kitchen, making breakfast when she heard a knock at the door. She frowned, wiping her hands on a towel. It was still early, and she wasn’t expecting anyone. Clara usually called before coming over, and she hadn’t ordered anything.She hesitated for a moment before walking toward the door. When she pulled it open, her breath caught in her throat.Adrian stood there.“Good morning,” he said with a small smile.Nadine’s grip tightened on the doorknob. She had allowed him to spend time with Liam, but that didn’t mean she was comfortable with him showing up at her house unannounced. She debated closing the door in his face, but before she could say anything, a small voice interrupted her thoughts.“Mommy, who’s at the door?”Liam’s voice came from the stairs. Nadine turned her head, but before she could respond, Liam spotted Adrian. His eyes widened, and then, to Nadine’s surprise, he ran straight toward him.“Adrian!”Adrian barely had time to react before Liam threw him
The Billionaire’s Redemption A Hesitant Truce
Nadine walked through the aisles of the grocery store, checking off items on her small list. She had been meaning to go shopping for a few days now but kept putting it off. With everything happening—Adrian showing up, Liam asking questions, and her own emotions running wild—she had barely been able to think straight.She sighed, grabbing a carton of milk and placing it into her basket. It wasn’t just groceries she needed. She was also running low on a few other household items, and Liam needed some new clothes since he was growing so fast.After picking up everything she needed, Nadine made her way to the checkout counter. The cashier scanned her items quickly, and when the total appeared on the screen, she reached for her debit card. She inserted it into the card reader, waiting for the payment to go through.Declined.Frowning, she tried again, convinced it was just a mistake.Declined.Nadine’s heart started to beat faster. That wasn’t possible. She had money in her account—at leas
The Billionaire’s Redemption Fractured Lies
Nadine wiped the counter for the third time, even though it was already spotless. The café bustled with its usual morning crowd and customers chatting, spoons clinking against ceramic mugs, and the faint hum of music playing in the background. But Nadine barely noticed any of it.Her mind was stuck on Adrian.He had come again, just like before. He always did. And every time, it became harder to push him away.Across the room, Liam sat with Clara, happily folding paper boats out of napkins. His little hands moved with excitement as he held one up to show Clara, giggling at his creation.Nadine’s chest tightened.She wanted to keep Liam safe. She had spent years making sure he never felt the pain of missing a father he never knew. But now, Adrian was back, refusing to leave.Was she making the right choice by shutting him out?Did Liam deserve to know his father?A sigh pulled her out of her thoughts.“You’re going to rub a hole in that counter,” Clara said, raising an eyebrow.Nadine
