The Billionaire’s Runaway Bride 48
LeoHer words sent sparks right down my cock. I hadn't felt it come to life in so long.With her hands around my neck, her body pressed against mine, the graze of her fingertips on the surface of my skin, the goosebumps that accompanied her touch, it made me feel like I was going insane.I lifted her in my arms and she reflexively wrapped her arms around my waist. I reconnected our lips after pressing her back to the wall, her soft moans filling my ears when I pulled away to trail kisses down the nape of her neck."Leo..." She moaned in a gasp. The sound of my name rolling off her lips made me want to take her there and then.I slipped my hand up her gown, trailing my fingers up her back and once I made it to the thin straps I slid them down, letting her boobs fall free against my chest.Her face was winced and her eyes closed, her lips slightly open as she let out small moans.I guided her to the bed, laying her on her back and hovering above her, keeping my weight on my elbows.Her

BellaMy head was pounding. It felt like someone had been hammering on the inside of my skull all night. I blinked slowly, squinting against the sunlight leaking through the curtains. My throat was dry, lips cracked, and my body… sore?What the hell happened last night?Then I felt it.An arm was draped over my waist and warm skin pressed against my back. My eyes widened and my heart jumped.I turned slowly, carefully but I finally sawing him there laying completely naked. His chest was rising and falling in slow, even breaths. His face looked peaceful, like he hadn’t just ruined my entire sense of reality.My eyes went wide in horror as i tried to make sense of what was happening. What the fuck happened last night? I sat up too fast. The room spun. I grabbed the sheets to cover my chest. I looked down—no clothes. Nothing.“Oh my god,” I whispered.Pieces of the night came back in flashes. From his hands to my moans, our skin, the way he looked at me like I was the only thing that exi

LeoThe water hit my back, hot and steady.I stood under the stream for too long, hoping it would rinse away the mess of last night. But it didn’t. It only made the silence louder. The steam filled the bathroom, but I still felt cold where she used to be.Bella was gone when I woke up. No note. No sound. Just the hollow space beside me that still smelled like her.She ran.Again.I pressed my palms against the tile wall and let out a breath. She wanted to pretend it meant nothing. That it was just sex. That I didn’t feel her trembling when I touched her or hear the way she whispered my name like she had forgotten it could ever belong to me again.But I remembered. I remembered every second. And so did she.When I stepped out of the shower, I grabbed a towel and looked around the room. The bed was a mess. Sheets tangled. Her side cold.I picked up my phone and ordered breakfast for two.I didn’t care if she came back or not. I wasn’t going to let her act like I didn’t know her better t

Bella was gone again.Just like that. Like last night didn’t matter. Like I didn’t watch her fall apart in my arms and whisper my name like it still meant something.The bed was a mess. Her perfume still lingered in the room. But she left behind nothing. Not even a damn goodbye.I sat at the edge of the bed, jaw clenched, my fingers gripping the sheet so tight I thought it might tear. I should have gotten used to this by now. But it still hit the same.A knock came from the door. Room service. Breakfast for two. I didn’t even remember ordering it. It didn’t matter now.I didn’t touch it.I just sat there, chest tight, anger building in a place I didn’t know how to reach.My phone buzzed. Dennis.I snatched it up. “Talk.”His voice came in calm, like he didn’t just have answers I’d been chasing for months. “I’ve finished the research you asked for. I confirmed it. Bella and Ryan’s marriage… it’s not real.”I froze.“What?” My voice cracked in the middle.Dennis cleared his throat. “The

Bella’s POVI saw him the second I stepped off the elevator. He was standing by the front desk, talking to someone, but his eyes flicked to me the moment I walked into view. Of course they did. Leo always looked for me like I was something he owned, something he lost but still expected to find again.I kept walking. Not too fast. Not slow enough to be noticed. Just… unaffected. That’s what I wanted him to see. Me, in control. Me, composed. Me, completely untouched by last night.“Bella,” he called out behind me. His voice was calm, but there was a warning in it. Like he knew I’d ignore him, and he wasn’t going to let it slide this time.I stopped near the lobby’s coffee stand. I didn’t turn. I let him come to me.“Tell me the truth,” he said, just close enough for only me to hear. “Is it real? You and Ryan.”His question startled me, and I furrowed my eyebrows. My heart racing in my chest but then I turned, slowly, arms folded, face blank. His jaw was tense. His eyes looked like they

When I had suggested this meeting, I did not expect it to go this far. Not only were we getting all types of calls, but there was so many meetings were were tending to on this trip. I just got an email from a higher representative that stated we had to go meet an important client who was going to be the overall decision-maker in this situation. I didn't want things to escalate to this stage, I had started it for the necklace scheme and getting Leo away from me and somehow it had come to this. I sighed to myself as I sat in front of the mirror. So many things had happened on this trip, my cheeks were heated as I thought back to sharing the same bed with Leo, so much had happened in such a short time. I stopped thinking about it, shaking my head as I stared at my reflection in the mirror. No, it's fine. I just got into the current and that's all. I thought back to his stupid two-weeks play and how he took this as some type of joke. I didn't know what had come over me and why I ha

B ella’s POVThe hallway outside the emergency room buzzed with fluorescent light. I sat motionless in a stiff plastic chair, arms folded, trying to slow my breathing. A nurse had promised to update me when they could, but it had already been over twenty minutes. I didn’t care about the time. I wasn’t leaving until I knew she and her baby were safe.Leo had been pacing nonstop. His dress shoes tapped rhythmically against the linoleum floor, each step sharper than the last. He wasn’t subtle about his frustration. But I stayed where I was, watching the emergency doors like they might open with answers.Eventually, his patience snapped.“This is ridiculous,” he muttered, stepping closer. “We’ve done our part. We brought her here. They’ve taken over. What more do you want to do?”“I’m staying,” I said calmly.“Why?” His voice rose slightly. “You don’t even know her. You gave up an important meeting, Bella. You’re acting like this is your child—”“I know what it feels like,” I said, standi

Leo’s POVLeo’s phone buzzed for the fifth time, but it wasn’t her. Another meeting reminder. Another notification that didn’t matter. He tossed it on the desk and leaned back in the chair, staring up at the ceiling like it might give him answers.“She won’t talk to me,” he muttered.“Sir?” Dennis’s voice came through the speakerphone.Leo rubbed his face. “She moved to another floor. Won’t take my calls. Only responds to work texts—and barely.”There was a pause.“What would you like me to do?”He didn’t answer right away. He stood up, walked to the minibar, opened it, then shut it again without grabbing anything. He paced twice before stopping beside the chair.“I need you to look into something. Bella… she told me something the other day. About the wedding. About losing a baby.”Dennis went quiet.“She was pregnant,” Leo said. “And I didn’t know. I didn’t even notice anything was wrong. I left her that night. You remember?”“I do.”“She said she went to the hospital. Walked there.

For a moment, I couldn't move.The sight of the woman sitting there, dressed like that, laughing like it was funny, held me frozen in place.I was still trying to make sense of it when she stood up and sauntered closer, her hips swaying.Before I could react, she reached out, sliding her hand around the back of my neck.I jerked away instinctively, shoving her hand off hard enough that she stumbled back a step."Don’t touch me," I snapped, raising my voice.She blinked, startled, but that didn’t stop her.She stepped forward again, reaching for me like she thought she could fix it somehow.I didn’t give her the chance.I shoved her aside, not hard enough to hurt, but enough that she crashed back onto the edge of the bed."Stay away from me," I barked, the words vibrating in the tight space between us.She flinched, her hands scrambling at the sheets, her wide eyes flicking up to meet mine.As I turned to leave, my hand already on the door, I heard her scrambling behind me."Wait," she

Leo povThe low buzz of my phone yanked me out of a dead sleep.I slapped around the nightstand, finally grabbing it, squinting at the screen through half-lidded eyes.Mom.I groaned quietly, wiping my hand over my face, careful not to move too much.Next to me, Bella was curled up under the covers, her breathing soft and steady.I slipped out of bed as quietly as I could, grabbing the sweatshirt tossed across the chair.Pulling the door halfway closed behind me, I finally answered."Mom?" My voice was rough with sleep."Leo, oh God, Leo," she sobbed immediately, her voice so loud and panicked it made my chest tighten. "Something happened. Please, I need you."I dragged my free hand down my face, forcing myself to wake up faster."What happened?" I asked, already moving toward the bathroom."I was meeting a client at a hotel," she cried. "It went wrong. I need you, please, Leo. Please come."I turned on the bathroom light, wincing at the harsh brightness, staring at myself in the mirr

I spotted him the second the car pulled up to the curb standing there under the pale glow of a lamppost, hands tucked into the pockets of his jacket, head tilted like he had been waiting forever.The second he saw me, Leo straightened and came over, pulling the door open himself."Come on," he said gently, offering his hand.I slipped out of the car, the night air cool against my cheeks.Without letting go, he led me straight to his car and helped me inside, shutting the door with a soft click.He slid into the driver’s seat a moment later, casting a quick look at me before starting the engine.We didn’t speak much at first.I stared out the window, watching the city lights blur by, feeling my heart race in a way that had nothing to do with nerves and everything to do with him.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him glance at me again, his fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel."You okay?" he asked finally, his voice low.I nodded, still looking out."I’m fine," I said.H

When I got home, I dropped my bag by the door and kicked my shoes off without thinking.The house was quiet, almost too quiet, but I didn’t let myself think about it.I went straight to the kitchen where the papers were waiting, the divorce papers.I pulled out a chair and sat down, flipping through the pages quickly. Ryan had already signed his side and all that was left was mine.I grabbed a pen from the counter, uncapped it, and signed my name where they had marked.It was fast, too fast for something that had been part of my life for so long.I pushed the papers aside and stood up, tying my hair back loosely as I made my way upstairs.There was no reason to drag it out.I grabbed my suitcase from under the bed, tossing it onto the mattress with a soft thud.One by one, I started folding my clothes and packing them neatly, shirts, jeans, a few jackets.I was halfway through pulling the zipper closed when I heard a soft knock on the door."Come in," I called, glancing over my should

Leo povI kept Bella’s hand in mine as we made our way down the hall toward the study where Dennis waited.He was already standing near the desk when we walked in, his phone in one hand, a stack of papers in the other.The second he saw us, he set everything down and straightened."I checked the security footage like you asked," Dennis said, his voice calm but tight. "We found out how Jack got here."I stepped closer, my grip tightening slightly on Bella’s hand.Dennis glanced between us before continuing."It was your cousin," he said carefully. "He found Jack wandering near your old house. Instead of calling anyone... he brought him straight here."I stared at him, blinking once, slow and heavy."My cousin?" I repeated, my voice sharper than I meant.Dennis nodded grimly. "The footage is clear. He guided Jack into the car, drove him here, and left him at the gate."I raked a hand through my hair, pacing a short step away before turning back."Why the hell would he do that?" I mutter

We stepped inside, the soft murmur of conversation floating down the long hallway.I kept my head down at first, still overwhelmed by the day, but the moment I looked up, I stopped dead in my tracks.Standing near the grand staircase, arms folded, was Leo’s mother and just a few steps behind her, Stella.I froze, my heart kicking up painfully, old instincts screaming at me to turn around, to run before history repeated itself.Leo noticed immediately, he slowed beside me, glancing once at the stiffness in my body, then following my gaze.Without missing a beat, he reached for my hand, threading his fingers tightly through mine.The simple gesture grounded me, but it also sent a jolt of heat straight to my chest.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Stella stiffen, her hand flying to her mouth like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Leo’s mother narrowed her eyes, scanning the space between us like she was trying to rewrite the reality in front of her."What is going on here?" she

I stood there for a second, trying to wrap my head around what Leo had just said."Your house?" I repeated, glancing at Ryan, who looked just as confused as I felt.Ryan shook his head slowly, his hands tightening into fists at his sides."Why would he be there?" he muttered under his breath.I turned back to Leo, searching his face for some kind of answer, but he was already moving, grabbing his keys off the counter, his shoulders tense."There’s no time for this," Leo said, his voice clipped. "We’ll ask questions later. Right now, we need to get there."Without another word, we hurried out the door, piling into Leo’s car.I barely remembered buckling my seatbelt, my hands trembling the whole drive.Leo gripped the steering wheel tightly, his jaw locked, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror more than once like he couldn’t drive fast enough.Ryan sat stiffly beside me, tapping his foot anxiously against the floor mat, his arms crossed tightly over his chest.When we finally pulled

Leo was already pulling his phone out before I could say a word.I stood there, frozen in the middle of the living room, watching him pace near the window as he barked into the phone."Dennis, get access to every street camera near the house," Leo said, his voice tight but controlled. "Side roads too. Look for a kid, maybe with a backpack, moving fast. Alone."He paused, listening, his hand curling into a fist at his side."Use our contacts if you have to," he added after a second. "I want eyes on every damn corner."I hugged my arms around myself, feeling like the walls were closing in.The idea of Jack out there, scared and alone, made my stomach twist painfully.Without thinking, I turned and headed down the hallway where I found Ryan sitting stiffly on the edge of the couch, staring at the floor like he couldn't move.I sat down beside him, close enough that our knees brushed."This is my fault," I said, my voice cracking as I reached out to touch his arm. "I should have been more

I barely remembered the drive to Ryan’s place. My grip on the wheel was so tight my knuckles hurt.Every minute Bella stayed silent, every minute I did not hear her voice, my patience thinned to nothing.I pulled up hard in front of the house, the tires kicking dust across the sidewalk.The door was cracked open slightly. No sound came from inside.I did not wait. I shoved the door wider and stepped in without knocking, my fists already curled, my chest heaving with the anger I had been holding back for too long.Ryan sat slumped on the couch, his elbows resting heavily on his knees, staring blankly at the floor.He didn’t even flinch when I entered."What the hell did you do to her?" I said, my voice cutting through the stillness.He looked up slowly, his eyes bloodshot and unfocused, like he wasn’t really seeing me.My temper snapped.I crossed the room in three long strides, grabbed a fistful of his shirt, and hauled him halfway off the couch."Talk," I growled, shoving him back ha
