All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Redemption : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Nadine glanced around the room, buzzing with soft chatters, laughter, and the clinking of glasses. The party was going smoothly as she had planned."Champagne, Miss?" a waiter asked politely, holding out a tray. Her gaze shifted to the glass of champagne, but her hand instinctively went to her belly."No, thank you," Nadine declined with a soft smile.The waiter nodded in understanding and walked away."Mommy can't have any alcohol. I have to take care of you, my little one," Nadine whispered, her lips curving into a tender smile. "I can't wait to tell Daddy about you. He's going to be so excited, and maybe he'll finally stop acting distant."Adrian, her boyfriend, had been avoiding her lately, going on more business trips, having fewer conversations, and a coldness she couldn't explain. She figured he was stressed, which was why she planned this party to celebrate his latest business success.It was the perfect opportunity to share her big news. "I'm so excited," Nadine giggled sof

Adrian was about to get to the door, but he suddenly froze on the spot. His hands clenched, beads of sweat forming on his palms despite the cool air."I didn't come all this way to turn back," Adrian said, but found his steps withdrawing.He didn't know how he was going to approach Nadine. Would she forgive him? Let him see the child that could be his? How much had she changed? Could she still be the sweet girl that he knew? Well, that wouldn't be possible, not after what he did to her. There were too many questions that were left unanswered. Was he truly really to learn those answers?"I can't," he shook his head, turning away from the Cafe. "I'll come here tomorrow. I'm sure she'll be around."He quickly returned to his car, and started the engine. As he drove off, Clara stepped out of the café. She had seen his car earlier and thought he was coming into their café."He left?" she uttered, lifting her brows. "I thought we were going to have a rich customer. Damn it." Pursing her

"Where is the man?" Nadine asked, casting a glance around."Where did he—Oh there he is!" Clara exclaimed, pointing at Adrian, who was still standing where she left him.However, his back was turned against the counter, making it impossible for Nadine to see his face.She scrutinized him curiously, noting his expensive clothing, the partly visible butterfly tattoo on his neck, thick dark hair, and luxurious watch. Everything about him seemed so familiar, stirring an unease deeper than she had ever felt."Is that Adrian? No, it's not possible...What could he be doing in a small Coastal town like Seabrook? He could never visit such a place, could he?" Nadine thought, her mind racing. Her breath hitched, and her steps involuntarily retracted."Where are you going?" Clara asked, her confusion evident."Tell him that I'm busy, but grateful...And please, don't tell him my name," Nadine instructed, rushing back into the kitchen."Nadine," Clara gasped.The moment she left, Adrian turned aro

Nadine froze, her heart pounding in her chest as the sharp knock echoed through the quiet house. Liam, sitting cross-legged on the floor, perked up and smiled.“Mommy, is that Daddy?” he asked excitedly, already scrambling to his feet.“No, sweetheart, it’s not,” Nadine said quickly, forcing calm into her voice. She hurried over, catching Liam’s hand before he could reach the door. “Go to your room, okay? Stay there until Mommy says it’s safe.”Liam looked unhappy, but he did what Nadine said. He slowly walked up the stairs, dragging his feet. Nadine waited until she heard his door close softly before she unlocked the front door and opened it a little.The gardener was standing on her porch. His hands were in his pockets, and he looked worried. His eyes kept looking behind her into the house."Sorry to bother you, Miss Nadine," he said, moving his feet. "I just wanted to tell you that I saw someone near the edge of the property earlier."Nadine's breath caught. "What do you mean? Did

Nadine stood frozen at the window, her breath shallow as she watched the shadowy figure standing just beyond the edge of her property. He hadn’t moved, hadn’t even flinched. The streetlight cast a faint glow on his silhouette, and though she couldn’t make out his face, she knew.Adrian.She clenched her fists, her thoughts racing. How long was he going to do this? Watch from afar? Lurk in the shadows? He had no right to disrupt her life, especially not after everything. Her pulse quickened as she turned and slipped on a jacket. If he thought he could intimidate her, he was wrong.Quietly, she made her way out the front door, careful not to wake Liam. The cold night air hit her skin, but it did little to calm her nerves. She walked slowly, each step measured, until she was close enough to be heard but still far enough to feel safe.“Who are you?” she demanded, her voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions inside her. “And why have you been following me?”The figure stiffened.
