The Billionaire's Sugar Baby Chapter 119
The air in the study felt thick, suffocating with the weight of unspoken words and unresolved emotions. Robert stood by the window, staring out at the morning sunlight filtering through the blinds, his mind churning with confusion and frustration. His conversation with Carolyn had left him raw, the floodgates of old wounds threatening to open once more.He had always prided himself on being level-headed, on having control over his emotions and the decisions he made. But today, he felt like he was drowning in them. His ex-wife, the mother of his children, had just walked back into their lives after years of absence, and he was supposed to just... accept it.The truth was, he didn’t know what he was supposed to do. Part of him wanted to believe that things could be fixed—that Carolyn could come back, that they could somehow salvage what had been broken. But another part of him, the part that had spent so many years building a life with Emma, protecting his family, knew that it was more

The sky had started to change, a dull gray slowly replacing the once bright expanse of blue. Robert stared out of the large glass windows of his office, watching the city below shift from the busy buzz of the morning to the creeping stillness of the afternoon. He had tried to focus during the meeting, to block out the internal chaos that swirled within him. But no matter how many times he told himself to keep his personal life separate, it felt like it was bleeding into everything. Every email, every conversation, even the motions of signing papers felt like they had little meaning in the grand scope of what was happening at home.And what was happening? That was the question Robert couldn’t shake.Carolyn was back. His ex-wife. The mother of his children. The woman who had once been his whole world. Now she was standing in the shadows of his life, shaking the ground beneath him, stirring up the unresolved pain and unspoken words that had always lingered between them.And then there w

The evening had a strangely oppressive atmosphere, as if the house itself was holding its breath, waiting for something. Robert’s mind churned in a mixture of confusion and disbelief, still reeling from the unexpected revelation. Carolyn and Natalie, the two women from different corners of his life, had known each other all along. How had this remained a secret? What did it mean for the fragile truce they had built in the years since Carolyn’s departure? And more importantly, what was Natalie’s true motivation for showing up now?Robert watched as Emma, visibly tense, led Natalie into the living room, offering her a polite but strained smile. The moment the door had closed behind her, the entire atmosphere seemed to shift. It was as if the walls themselves had tilted slightly, the room suddenly filled with an invisible weight. Carolyn, sitting by the window, glanced up from her quiet contemplation, her gaze flicking between Natalie and Robert.It was clear they had something to say, s

The house had quieted, the soft hum of conversations and clinking glasses slowly fading into the background. The faint clatter of dishes being cleaned in the kitchen was the only sound that broke the silence. Robert sat alone in the dimly lit dining room, the flickering light from the chandelier above casting shadows that seemed to mirror the turmoil in his mind. He couldn't shake the feeling that something had shifted in the house. It wasn’t just the arrival of Natalie or the unexpected revelation about her and Carolyn’s past—though those things weighed heavily on him—it was the undercurrent of unease that had settled over Emma since dinner had started.She had barely spoken, and when she did, her words had felt rehearsed, carefully measured. Something was wrong, and Robert felt it deep in his chest. He had tried to brush it off, tried to ignore the way she looked at him with those silent, questioning eyes. But now, as the night stretched on, he couldn't ignore it any longer.Emma ha

Carolyn’s bedroom was quiet in the early morning hours, the first rays of sunlight creeping through the heavy curtains. She had always been a light sleeper, but tonight had been different. She hadn’t slept at all. The tension in the house, the quiet undercurrent of unresolved emotions, had kept her awake, her mind constantly spinning in circles. She had hoped that things would settle, that she could find peace within herself after the long years of estrangement from Robert and his family. But now, as she lay in the bed that felt so foreign to her, she couldn’t escape the nagging thought that everything she had worked for was slipping away again.Her phone, which had been lying on the nightstand, suddenly buzzed loudly in the silence of the room. She jolted upright, the sudden noise cutting through the stillness, making her heart race. For a moment, Carolyn just stared at the screen, blinking, trying to shake the fog of sleep from her mind. The early light from the window pooled on the

Carolyn sat in the driver's seat of Robert's car, her fingers lightly gripping the steering wheel. The hum of the engine was comforting, almost grounding, as the world outside seemed to drift by in a blur of muted colors. She could feel her children in the backseat, each lost in their own thoughts, but the tension in the air was palpable. Even in the calm of the suburban morning, Carolyn couldn’t shake the sense of impending doom that had settled over her since the message from James. But she couldn’t let her kids see that. They didn’t need to know about the storm brewing inside her, the secrets that threatened to unravel everything she had worked so hard to build.The drive to the shopping center was quiet, save for the occasional murmur from the backseat. Mia, the middle child, had her nose buried in a book, her long hair falling over her face as she read with the intensity only a twelve-year-old could muster. Alexander, the eldest at fourteen, was staring out the window, her expres

Carolyn’s mind swirled with a jumble of emotions as she followed her children through the shopping center. The weight of the past—of James’s threat—still pressed heavily on her chest, but in this moment, surrounded by the noise and bustle of the mall, she tried to let it go. For them. She tried to remember what it felt like to just be a mother, to be present in the moment, and not a woman haunted by secrets that seemed to chase her no matter how far she ran.“Mom, can we go to the toy store?” Ethan’s voice broke through her thoughts. His small hand was tugging on the sleeve of her jacket, his wide eyes filled with hope and excitement.Carolyn glanced down at her son, his face bright with innocence, the same innocence that made her heart ache. How could she protect him from the storm that was brewing in her life? How long could she keep this facade up? She had spent so many years building a wall, a barrier between her past and her children. But deep down, she feared the day it would al

The sound of the mall’s bustling atmosphere surrounded Carolyn as she walked alongside her children. It was the perfect Saturday afternoon, the kind of moment she lived for—simple and sweet, with the scent of warm sugar from the ice cream shop lingering in the air. The soft hum of shoppers' voices blended with the distant music that echoed through the halls. Carolyn smiled, watching her children as they chatted happily among themselves, the stress of the past few days forgotten, at least for now."Mom, I think we should get our hair done today!" Mia said suddenly, her voice full of excitement as she skipped ahead.Carolyn glanced down at her daughter, whose wide, eager eyes sparkled with the same energy she had come to love and admire. Mia was always full of ideas, and her enthusiasm was contagious."Your hair?" Carolyn asked with a smile. "What did you have in mind?"Mia twirled her finger through her long, chestnut-colored hair, already imagining the possibilities. "I think I want s

The Billionaire's Sugar Baby Chapter 139
The air in the car was thick with an unspoken tension, one that had grown since Alexander and Mia had received the call earlier that day. They had been in the midst of their normal routines when Robert, with a steady voice, had informed them that it was time. Time to visit their mother. Time to hear the truth.The truth.Both of them had lived with the quiet discomfort of knowing something wasn’t quite right for years, but they had never dared to look closer. Now, the call had come, and there was no turning back. They were going to face their mother, and they knew—on some level—that this visit would shatter whatever image they had left of her.Alexander, the eldest daughter, sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window. His eyes were tired, his face drawn, and though he was only in his early twenties, the weight of the last few months had aged him. Mia, the middle daughter, sat in the back, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. She was fifteen, but there was a maturity to her

The sound of Emma's breath was ragged, shallow, as she struggled against the ropes that bound her wrists. Her mind was racing, frantic with the knowledge that she had been trapped once again. The tightness in her chest had nothing to do with the rope, but everything to do with the realization that she had been caught in a web so tangled, so insidious, she had no idea how to escape.It had started as a day like any other. After hearing the news of Natalie’s death, Emma had tried to move on. Tried to believe that the worst was behind her, that the nightmare of manipulation, lies, and fear was finally over. But in a twisted turn of fate, the very thing she had hoped for had become her worst fear.She had thought they were free. But they were far from it.The sound of footsteps echoed through the empty warehouse, and Emma's heart skipped a beat. She barely had time to react before the door to the room opened. Standing there was James, his eyes cold, calculating."So, we meet again," he sa

The morning light filtered softly through the curtains of Ava's apartment, casting a golden hue on the empty space. It should have been peaceful—a quiet, calm morning. But for Ava, it felt anything but. The air was thick with the weight of the news that had reached her just before dawn.She sat in front of the TV, her eyes glued to the screen as the anchor’s voice filled the room, the words she never thought she would hear reverberating in her mind.“...police have confirmed the death of Natalie Carmichael, 32, found in her apartment under suspicious circumstances. Sources say her death appears to be the result of foul play, and the investigation is ongoing.”The words barely reached her as Ava's gaze flickered to the coffee table where her phone lay, still buzzing with missed calls. The message was clear, but Ava couldn't quite absorb it. Natalie—dead. Ava felt a numbness settle over her, like someone had placed a heavy blanket over her chest. She closed her eyes, trying to make sens

The low hum of the city beyond Natalie’s window did nothing to calm her nerves. The pale glow of her desk lamp cast long shadows across the room, but they did little to chase away the tension that had been building in her chest all day. She had been expecting this. She had known it would come to this. But still, as she stared at the laptop in front of her, a sinking feeling twisted in her stomach.The truth was, she had always known the day would come when her little game would be exposed. She had built it carefully, piece by piece, all the while knowing the stakes were high. The laptop, with all of Carolyn’s secrets in her hands, was her lifeline. Every file, every detail, was carefully documented. Carolyn’s darkest fears, her hidden truths—they were all there. And Natalie had been holding onto them, knowing they would give her leverage when the time came.But now, she wasn’t so sure. Now, she felt more like a prisoner than a player in this twisted game. And that fear was growing wit

The dim light of the café flickered slightly as Carolyn sat at a corner booth, her fingers nervously tapping on the edge of her coffee cup. She had arrived early, more out of habit than necessity. She needed time to think, time to prepare. Her mind was still reeling from the conversation she’d overheard between Emma and Ava. There was something off about Ava—something dark beneath the surface. Carolyn couldn't shake the feeling that Ava had known more than she was letting on. And that unsettling thought had led her here, to this meeting with Natalie.It had taken Carolyn days to arrange it. The plan was simple: give Natalie the money she had promised, ask her what she knew, and—if the time came—take the steps necessary to protect herself. But even as she sat there, waiting, she wasn’t sure which version of herself would show up in the end. The woman who was still clinging to the hope of a happy, intact family, or the one who had begun to realize how deep the betrayal ran.Carolyn glan

The soft light of dusk filtered through the curtains, casting a pale glow over the room. Emma sat on the edge of her bed, her knees drawn up to her chest, arms wrapped around them as though trying to hold herself together. The silence of the house felt suffocating, like a heavy blanket that pressed against her chest, making it hard to breathe. The words the doctor had said kept echoing in her mind, each syllable a sharp reminder of the pain that had settled deep inside her, the loss that she couldn’t yet process, let alone accept.The doctor’s voice had been gentle, kind even, but the truth was still there, unspoken, hanging in the air between them. She would never be able to carry another child. The miscarriage had left scars deeper than she could explain, but it was the doctor’s words that had truly shattered her—words that spoke of a future that now seemed barren and empty. She would never experience the joy of a new life growing inside her, the miracle of childbirth. The thought h

The silence that followed Robert’s departure seemed to hang in the air, thick and suffocating. Alexander could hear the sound of her own breath, shallow and uneven, as though the weight of the moment was slowly crushing her from the inside out. She couldn’t believe what had just happened. Robert, her father, had turned away from her. He hadn’t even tried to understand. Instead, he had dismissed her, as if her words meant nothing, as if all the suspicion and doubt she felt were just the ramblings of an overreacting child.Carolyn stood beside her, a steady presence in the storm of emotions swirling in the room. Her mother’s touch on her shoulder was comforting, but it couldn’t quell the gnawing feeling of betrayal that had settled deep within her.“He’s not listening, Mom,” Alexander whispered, her voice barely audible. She felt the tears prickling at the edges of her eyes but refused to let them fall. She had no room for weakness right now. “He doesn’t believe me.”Carolyn said nothin

The house was quiet, too quiet. The air in the living room felt heavy, thick with the tension that had followed Ava’s abrupt exit. The muffled sound of footsteps moving from one room to another only served to amplify the silence, until Alexander was sure she could hear the sound of her own heartbeat. Carolyn sat across from her, still looking as though she were processing the events of the last few minutes. The room felt like it was closing in on her, the weight of suspicion and the terrifying unknown pressing in from all sides.She couldn’t shake the image of Ava’s face when she had asked her the question. The way Ava had looked at her, that brief flicker of panic, that brief hesitation, followed by the hard, impenetrable defense. It had all felt wrong, as if Ava were hiding something—no, concealing something. The more Alexander thought about it, the more it made sense. Ava’s insistence that she hadn’t done anything, the way she had tried to brush off Alexander’s accusations as if th

___The walls of the room felt impossibly close, pressing in around Alexander like a vise. Her heart raced, her mind spiraling, as the weight of what she had witnessed in the kitchen gnawed at her relentlessly. She wasn’t crazy. She wasn’t imagining things. She knew what she saw. Ava had done something—something that had caused Emma’s miscarriage. She could feel it in her bones, a deep, unsettling certainty that wouldn’t let go.But now, sitting across from Ava, she wasn’t so sure anymore. Ava had denied everything when she asked, had brushed off her questions with a calmness that only made Alexander more suspicious. Ava’s voice was smooth, too smooth, as if she were trying to convince herself as much as Alexander. The words that tumbled from her mouth were rehearsed, practiced—nothing but smoke and mirrors."I didn’t do anything, Alex," Ava said again, her voice soft but firm. "I’m not sure what you think you saw, but there was nothing in that chicken. I just added a little rosemary,
