All Chapters of Mr. Billionaire Claims Me Back : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Lilian POV The mansion was huge and imposing, and every hour it seemed bigger to my eyes. Since we got back to Richmond, everything was more or less as I remembered it. The same silk curtains hanging across the windows, the elegant furniture scattered throughout the rooms, and the soft rugs beneath my feet. It was as if time had stopped while I was gone, as if Jensen had kept everything intact, waiting for me to return. He was visibly happy to have us back. I saw it in his every gesture. From the moment the plane landed, he couldn't hide the joy of having the children and me under the same roof again. It was even comical to see him like this after that horror show he put on in that small town where the children and I lived, he was the devil himself, and here, he seemed like just a father and an ex-husband worried about getting his family back. Jensen talked about it all the time, always reminding me how much the house had missed me and how much he himself had missed it. "You h

Finn POV The days seemed to drag on like an endless nightmare. Arrested in the Rustburg police station, I felt like I was buried alive. The weight of helplessness suffocated me, every second that passed reminded me of the life I had lost and of what was taken from me without warning. The cell was small and claustrophobic, with only a narrow, barred window through which a sliver of light entered. I spent hours looking at the sky outside, but at the same time, I didn't have the energy to get up. I knew that things were literally falling apart on the outside. My mother's house... destroyed. Everything I had left of her, everything I had to remember our moments together, was now nothing more than rubble. And me? I was here, locked up, unable to do anything while everything around me was torn to pieces. This feeling of helplessness was what hurt the most. Knowing that if I had been out there, maybe I could have done something. Maybe I could have prevented that brutal demolition. But no.

Lilian POV A week had passed since our children and I moved into Jensen's mansion. Time here ran strangely. Even with all the tranquility and comfort, I couldn't help but feel like I was living in a place that wasn't mine. It seemed like every second I spent there took me a little further away from who I was and everything I had built in the time I spent in Rustburg. I was trying to adapt, but the change had been too quick and drastic for me and, especially, for the children. They still weren't dealing with all of this well, and I knew that every time I saw Rory and Ryan's lost look or when I saw Ruby with her doll, whispering softly, asking to come home. They missed the routine and the security we had before, no matter how simple it was. And most of all, they missed Sadie. The nanny had been a constant in their lives since they were born, and now, with everything turned upside down, I knew her presence would make all the difference. That morning, I woke up determined to talk to

Lilian POV I was dedicating myself completely to my studio, which was almost ready for opening. Working here helped me keep my mind busy and not think so much about sad things. I was already dreaming of the time when I would be able to rent a house and move out of Jensen's mansion for good. Even though Jensen remained respectful and present in a subtle way, without touching on emotional issues between us, the situation was still difficult. However, on that particular day, something unexpected happened that brought me a brief moment of happiness. I was in the middle of adjusting a dress when I heard a soft knock on the studio door. I wasn't expecting anyone, so I approached with some curiosity. When I opened the door, my heart skipped a beat when I saw who was on the other side. “April!” I shouted before running to hug her. My best friend was there, right in front of me. It had been so long since I last saw her. She was always a constant in my life, my confidant, someone I could

Lilian POV After weeks of working tirelessly, I finally decided I deserved a break. It was one of those rare days when I could breathe without the constant pressure of work or childcare responsibilities. And who better to accompany me on this break than April? She had arrived in the city recently and was completely fascinated by everything. Ever since she set foot in Richmond, she couldn't stop talking about the storefronts, charming cafés and sophisticated restaurants she saw on the streets. "I want to know everything!" she said excitedly on the phone the night before. “I have no idea when I’ll have an opportunity like this again.” I laughed. April has always had this free and light spirit, as if she were enjoying every moment of life without worrying too much about the future. She didn't have the same resources that I do now, but that never stopped her from dreaming big. Knowing that she wanted to explore the city, I decided it would be the perfect day for us to venture into th
