All Chapters of From Ashes To The Billionaire's Arms : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

SOPHIA Caleb helped me onto the couch, his arms lingering around me as if he wasn’t ready to let go. His warmth was comforting, but my mind was elsewhere...stuck on the fact that his mother hated the idea of me being here. “I need to talk to my mom,” he said softly, his voice filled with quiet frustration. “I’ll be back soon, okay?” I nodded slowly, watching as he walked toward the door. But the moment he stepped out, I quietly followed. Something inside me told me I needed to hear this conversation. I stopped near the hallway, staying out of sight. Then, I heard her voice. “I’m very upset with you, Caleb,” his mother’s voice was sharp, filled with disappointment. “Why did you lie to me? You knew how badly I wanted a grandchild. How badly I wanted you to find someone else. But instead, you went and took another man’s wife?” Her words stung. Caleb sighed, his voice calm. “Mom, just listen to me...” “No, I don’t want to listen.” She cut him off. “As long as Sophia

SOPHIA I looked at Caleb, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. “Don’t make me promise you something so difficult,” I whispered. His gaze didn’t waver. “It’s not difficult. You just have to say the words… and stick to them.” His voice was gentle, filled with softness. He was asking for my trust. For a commitment. Then, after a short pause, he said, “But of course, if you still genuinely want to be with Victor, you can tell me.” My breath hitched. He watched me carefully. “I will understand...no matter how our relationship turns out. All I want is for you to be happy.” I shook my head quickly, cutting him off. “Stop.” He frowned slightly. “There’s no need to say such a thing,” I said firmly. He stayed quiet, listening. “I spent more than three years with Victor,” I continued. “And all I knew was misery. How could I ever delude myself into thinking I could be happy with him?” My voice trembled slightly. “Then..” “No,” I interrupted before he could

VICTOR “I thought about having a man-to-man conversation with Caleb,” I admitted, leaning back in my chair. “But after what I saw at his house, I doubt that would work.” Lucas raised an eyebrow but said nothing. “I need to separate Caleb from Sophia,” I continued, my voice firm. “He’s standing in my way.” Lucas abruptly stood up. “I’m leaving. I don’t support any of this.” I scoffed. “You weren’t invited in the first place.” Lucas turned back, eyes dark with frustration. “Victor, think about this. It was probably Caleb who saved Sophia from the fire. It was Caleb who took care of her all this time....something you never did. And now you want to turn him against her? That’s selfish.” My jaw tightened. “And were you not selfish when you tried to take advantage of my wife?” Lucas’s expression hardened. His fists clenched at his sides. “How many times must I apologize?” His voice was low with frustration. “You keep holding that over my head.” I smirked. “Because you pr

CALEB The next morning, I barely had time for breakfast. I greeted Sophia briefly, exchanging only a few words before heading out. My mind was already set on work. At the office, I made several calls to finalize arrangements with my partners. Everything was in place, and by ten, I left for the meeting. The venue was a high-end conference hall, and I arrived to find four influential businessmen already waiting. These were men who controlled vast industries, and today’s deal was one of the biggest of my career. If all went well, this collaboration would take my company to number one in the country. We sat down, and discussions began smoothly. Everything was proceeding as planned... until the door suddenly burst open. The room fell silent. Victor Sinclair strode in, an arrogant smirk plastered on his face. And behind him? Reporters. Dozens of them. Cameras flashed, microphones extended, and the murmur of media personnel filled the air. “There he is,” Victor declared, his vo

SOPHIA I felt Victor’s hand on my back, guiding me toward the car, his other hand gripping my luggage as if I was returning to him. Fool. I could still hear Evelyn’s words ringing in my ears. "We will do everything to make things right." Make things right? The same person who had watched Victor tear me apart was now preaching about second chances. If Caleb hadn’t saved me that night, would they be standing here, acting like they cared? I looked ahead, toward the road. Fortunately, I still had the card Caleb had given me which contained a lot of money. I was going to walk to the road, take a cab and book a hotel room for the time being.It was for the best. Just as I got close to Victor's car, he hurriedly opened the door for me to get in and I scoffed. I reached for my bag, wanting to snatch it back from him. Then, a sudden screech of tires broke through the air. Caleb. My heart lurched as his car came to a sharp stop right in front of us. The door flung open, and
