All Chapters of The Billionaire Desires: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Axel's POVAmelia has cornered me, and I don't know how to tell her without jeopardizing my friendship with Josh. I know Harper deserves to know the truth; she's been kept in the dark for too long. Josh has been childish in his approach, and Trisha clings to him like a pest. Sometimes, I wish I could just punch some sense into him."Axel, start talking," Amelia's impatient voice cuts through the silence.I sigh deeply, trying to gather my thoughts. I'm picturing her reaction when she eventually hears the truth. "Okay, Amelia, you need to calm down and not freak out," I say, stalling."Okay, I promise I won't.""Trisha was Josh's ex-fiancée until he caught her with another man," I say, looking at Amelia.Her eyes widened in shock. She hadn't expected to hear that."Okay, that's not the catch," I say, sitting in a more comfortable position. "The catch is Trisha came back, telling Josh they had a son together."I sense a wave of shock crossing Amelia's features as she stares at me, speec

Harper's POVI burst through the hospital doors, the cool night air hitting me like a shock. Tears blur my vision as I run, my chest heaving with each breath. The world outside is a blur of streetlights and shadows, but I don’t slow down. I just need to get away, to find some space to breathe. I find it suffocating staying around Josh.“Harper, wait!” Axel’s voice calls out behind me, but I don’t stop. I can’t.Lost in my turmoil, I don’t notice the approaching headlights until it's too late. The screech of tires on asphalt pierces the night air. I turn, eyes wide with shock, but there’s no time to react. The impact throws me to the ground, the world spinning around me. Pain radiates through my body as I lie on the cold pavement, struggling to make sense of what just happened.Everything is a haze of noise and confusion. I hear the frantic shouts of bystanders, the blaring of a car horn, and the approaching footsteps. Faces loom over me, concerned and panicked. I recognize one—it’s Am

Josh's POVMy chest feels like it’s being crushed. Each breath is labored, and my steps out of Harper’s room are unsteady. The hallway blurs around me as I see the nurse stopping Amelia and Ava from entering. Their faces, etched with worry, search mine for answers.I force a deep breath, struggling to steady my voice. “She’s stable,” I manage to whisper, my throat tight. “But... the doctors are still worried. They’re running more tests.”Ava’s face softens with relief, while Amelia clutches her hands together, her knuckles turning white. Fear shines in her wide eyes. I can’t meet their gazes for long; the weight of guilt is overwhelming. I feel like I’m drowning, with no escape from this nightmare.The hallway is stifling, the low hum of hospital machines fills the air. I lean against the wall, running a hand through my disheveled hair, trying to pull myself together. My mind is a chaotic swirl of regret and sorrow. The image of Harper, lying so still, flashes endlessly in my thoughts

Josh's POVAs I step out of Harper's hospital room, each step feels heavy, and the hallway stretches out before me like it's never-ending. My heart feels like a weight, heavy with guilt and regret. I'm to blame for what Harper is going through right now."Josh!" Axel calls out to me. I look up instantly and see him standing near the exit, waiting for me. With a few long strides, I make my way to him."Have you called everyone on the list I gave you?" I ask, approaching him."Yes, I did," Axel replies. "Jane helped.""Oh, that's good," I responded, relieved."How's Harper? Is she awake now?" Axel asks, hope evident in his eyes.I lower my gaze, feeling a painful tug in my chest, my jaw clenched. "She could remember everyone except me," I say slowly, hitting my other hand with my fist.The look on Axel's face is almost comical—his eyebrows raised, eyes bulging out, mouth agape as if he's just heard the most astonishing thing.Seeing his expression, I let out a long, weary sigh, running

Harper's POVGathering my thoughts, I take a deep breath and look up at him. “Josh, I want to be honest with you. I’m afraid of diving into something new while I’m still trying to understand what happened to me. I can’t promise you anything right now, but I need to take things slowly.”I notice his expression change, the hope in his eyes dimming slightly at my words. My heart tugs at the sight, but I know I need to focus on understanding myself first.“I get it, Harper. Take all the time you need. I’m here for you, and I’ll wait as long as it takes,” he says, a touch of self-reproach in his voice. "I know I was too forward in asking you out on a date. Gosh, what was I thinking?"I smile gently. "Oh no, Josh, don't beat yourself up over that," I say, reaching out to him. His eyes catch sight of the ring still on my hand, and a small smile crosses his face. "You still have this," he observes softly.I smile brightly. "Yes, I hope it will help me feel that connection with you again.""Ok
