All Chapters of The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

“Where are we headed, Anika?” Serena inquired, glancing over at her friend as she settled into the passenger seat. The two of them were side by side, the anticipation in the air palpable.Anika beamed with a hint of mischief in her eyes. “It’s a surprise.”“From who? Frederick?”“Let’s just say it’s from me for now,” Anika replied playfully.Serena nudged her gently, a smile spreading across her face. “I know it’s from him.”“Wow, great job ruining the surprise!” Anika feigned annoyance, but her laughter betrayed her.Serena chuckled. “Well, it’s my surprise, isn’t it?”“Oh, I bet you’ll be so thrilled. I can’t wait for you to see it,” Anika said, her tone teasing.As they drove on, their banter continued, weaving through light-hearted jabs and laughter. The road stretched ahead, and with each passing moment, Serena’s curiosity grew. “Anika, come on, just give me a hint! Is it something I’ll love?”“Maybe. Or maybe it’s something that will make you question my taste,” Anika replied,

“Get your hands off me this instant,” Arlo shouted, struggling to break free from Frederick's tight grip on his neck.But Frederick remained unmoved. “For Christ's sake, I didn’t insult the boy, so fucking let me go!”Frederick finally released his hold on Arlo but warned him in a low, menacing voice, “I don’t want to hear my son's name come out of your filthy mouth again”“And about this?” Frederick said, slamming a file down on the table in front of Arlo. “You better clean up this mess.”Arlo hesitated for a moment, eyeing the file suspiciously before he picked it up and opened it. Inside were photos of him and Serena that had gone viral, along with more photos.“Where did you even get this?” he asked, pausing to let out a laugh. “You really think I’m behind this shit, don’t you?”Frederick leaned back into his chair, his anger still clearly visible on his face. “You care too much about your reputation to get caught up in a scandal, so you probably didn’t start this. But now, it’s y

The day following the release of the controversial article, Frederick took swift action by having it removed. In its place, a new article was published, clarifying the nature of the relationship between Arlo and Serena. This article emphasised that they had been long-time friends and asserted that there was nothing romantic occurring between them.As the situation unfolded, a wave of additional evidence emerged, with numerous individuals who claimed to have known Arlo and Serena for years stepping forward to comment on the posts. Their affirmations lent credibility to the article's claims, reinforcing the idea that the friendship was genuine and platonic.Ultimately, all this was Arlo's doing and steed to clear the scandal and as a result, the controversy gradually faded away.But the mansion where Serena lived still felt heavy with tension in the air. The conversation she had with Frederick just the other day lingered between them, unresolved and hanging in the silence. Frederic

“Why would you make that choice? Did Arlo ask you to do that?” Serena questioned, already feeling a wave of nausea wash over her as the conversation continued.“No, he didn’t,” Seraphina replied with a strong conviction. “This is a decision I made on my own.”“I can’t take care of a child right now. I don’t think I’m capable enough,” she admitted, her voice trembling slightly.Serena let out a scoff, “That’s your reason? Is that really the only thing holding you back? You couldn’t even let Arlo take care of them?”“Do you really believe Arlo would step up to do that?” Seraphina shot back, her tone sharp.“Regardless of what he might do, what you chose is simply wrong, Seraphina!” Serena insisted, frustration evident in her voice.“Don’t act like you understand what it means to have a child,” Seraphina retorted, her eyes narrowing. “You’re not in a position to judge me.”After that, Serena fell silent. She definitely knew what it felt like to raise a child when the father was either ab

The steady beeping of the monitor filled the spacious, well-furnished ward room, where Serena's mother laid in an unconscious state. As the door slid open, Serena stepped inside, carefully pushing it closed behind her. She removed the large shades she had on.With a heavy heart and a distant look in her eyes, she made her way to the bed and settled down in the chair beside it.Gently, she took her mother's left hand in her own and gave it a soft pat. “Are you asleep, Mom?” she sighed, fully aware that her mother was unable to hear her words.“I really wish you could hear me right now and offer me some advice. To be honest, I'm so confused” she continued, speaking as if she were having a conversation with herself.“Frederick and I have finally decided to go our separate ways, Mum. I know that if you were awake, you would probably be against it, but I truly believe it's for the best. Up until now, this is what I've wanted.”“Now everything will go back to how it used to be. It will be
