บททั้งหมดของ THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET LEGACY: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 100

The uncomfortable calm that had descended upon the vast living room was in stark contrast to the distant bustle of the city outside Nicholas and Cassie's house. Nicholas was standing close to the fireplace, staring at the flickering flames while holding a cup of water. With her sketchbook closed on her lap, Cassie sat on the couch and watched him with a mix of hope and worry.After a minute, Nicholas remarked, "She's coming today," in a flat but tense voice.Cassie gave a nod. “What are your thoughts about it?"His jaw tightened as he turned to look at her. "I'm not sure. I've been angry with her for years, believing that she let my father act in this way. And she wants to make things right now?"She's your mom, Nicholas," Cassie said. This may be her attempt to make things right. Individuals are subject to change.”Nicholas shook his head and laughed bitterly. "Modification? Cassie watched as my father attempted to ruin everything. She never stood up for me. How can I trust someone w

Their Parisian penthouse's floor-to-ceiling windows let in the early sun, which gave the sophisticated yet comfortable living room a golden tint. With her hands encircling a steaming mug of chamomile tea, Cassie sat on the soft couch. Her thoughts were anything but tranquil, even though the surroundings were peaceful.She had been experiencing extraordinary exhaustion and nausea for days. She had initially blamed it on stress from the foundation's dinner and the fallout from the media frenzy. However, a persistent notion started to grow in the back of her mind as her symptoms continued.She had finally followed through on it today, slipping out early to get a pregnancy test at a neighboring pharmacy. The little white stick now lay on the coffee table in front of her, its outcome hidden behind a box turned upside down.Cassie took a long breath to calm herself. She looked to the kitchen, where Nicholas was standing, making breakfast for the twins while singing quietly. Her heart filled

The piercing ring at the doorbell broke the still morning at the Nicholas-Scott mansion. Cassie, who was in the living room arranging flowers, looked puzzled toward the front door. Anyone who knew them well would typically phone ahead, and they weren't anticipating guests.With a grimace on his face, Nicholas came out of his study and made his way to the door. Cassie trailed behind, using a dish towel to wipe her hands.The last person they anticipated was on the threshold as Nicholas opened the door. Nicholas's estranged father, Charles Scott, appeared older and more worn than when they had last seen him. His normally commanding demeanor became muted, almost depressed, as lines of sorrow softened his once sharp features.Nicholas said, "Dad," in a startled and cautious tone.Charles answered, his voice hoarse with unsaid passion, "Hello, son." He nodded as his eyes moved to Cassie. "Cassie."Unsure of how to react, Cassie gripped the towel tighter. Charles had left pandemonium in his

As the sun started to drop over the Italian vineyard, the infinite fields of grapevines that extended into the distance were bathed in a golden glow. It was a scenario from a novel of science fiction.Fairy lights hung across the outdoor space glistened against the dusk, and the altar was surrounded by an archway bordered by white roses and ivy.Nicholas and Cassie's vow renewal ceremony, which celebrated their love, resiliency, and all they had conquered together, took place in the ideal location.In one of the villa's private suites, Cassie stood before the mirror, adjusting the exquisite ivory gown's lace. The outfit was simple yet beautiful, with a floating skirt that seemed to speak as she moved. She framed her face with a few curls and kept her hair free in a chignon. "You appear like a princess, Mommy," a tiny voice murmured behind her.Their twin children, Emma and Ethan, were standing in the doorway when she turned around. Ethan looked handsome in a small tuxedo, while Emma

It was a Saturday morning, and the house was unusually quiet. Nicholas read the newspaper while Cassie sipped her coffee on the kitchen island. Outside, Emma and Ethan were having fun as their quiet but reassuring laughing could be heard in the distance. Milo, periodically wagging his tail in satisfaction, was cuddled up next to the hearth.Cassie had grown to treasure the moment, which was a picture-perfect moment of household bliss. She felt a thrill of appreciation for their progress as she looked at Nicholas, who was reading with a tiny frown on his face."Is there anything intriguing inside?” She pointed to the newspaper as she inquired.Nicholas folded it carefully and grinned. "A typical mix of gloom and doom with a dash of sports." “This quiet morning is not worth disturbing.”Cassie chuckled and opened her mouth to reply as the doorbell rang throughout the house.Nicholas got up from his chair and said, "I'll get it."A weird sensation settled in Cassie's chest as she watched
