Semua Bab The Billionaire’s Christmas Surprise : Bab 101 - Bab 110

That night at Serena’s place, she wasn’t expecting any visitors. After a long day at work, all she wanted was to rest. She had just tucked Amy into bed, singing her a soft lullaby until the little girl’s eyes fluttered shut. With a small smile, she brushed a gentle hand over Amy’s forehead before turning off the bedside lamp.As she stepped out of the room, rolling her shoulders to ease the tension in them, the sudden chime of the doorbell made her pause. Her brows furrowed. It was late—who could possibly be visiting at this hour?She moved toward the door, her fingers hesitating on the handle for a moment before she unlocked it and pulled it open.Ryan stood there.A slow smile curved his lips as his dark eyes roamed over her, making her pulse quicken. She hadn’t expected him. Not now. Not like this.She parted her lips, ready to ask why he was here, but before she could say a word, he lifted a finger to her lips, silencing her. The

Kate sat on the edge of her bed, staring blankly at her reflection in the mirror. Dark circles framed her eyes, a testament to the restless night she had spent tossing and turning. She hadn’t bothered to apply any makeup—what was the point? Today wasn’t about looking beautiful. It was about sending a message.She didn’t dress to kill, either. Instead, she threw on a plain, oversized sweater and a pair of faded jeans. Her hair, usually styled to perfection, hung loosely over her shoulders, slightly tangled from the way she had run her fingers through it in frustration all night.Today, she wasn’t the glamorous woman people expected her to be. Today, she was a scorned lover, a woman with a broken heart and a tragic story to tell.Taking a deep breath, she grabbed her purse and made her way to Rolly’s apartment.Rolly, her best friend and the only person she could trust, opened the door with a puzzled expression. “Kate? What’s wrong?”Kate steppe

Steve Jacob sat in his hotel room, his eyes fixed on the screen of his laptop. The video playing before him had already racked up millions of views, spreading like wildfire across the internet. It was an interview—a scandalous one—featuring a woman who looked painfully familiar. Her eyes were downcast, her face pale with exhaustion, and her entire demeanor screamed misery.Steve leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples as he struggled to place where he had seen her before.The feeling gnawed at him, a frustrating itch at the back of his mind. He rewound the video, watching her face again, analyzing every detail. And then, suddenly, it clicked.Venessa.No—Kate.His breath hitched as realization struck. This was the same woman who had come to him pretending to be Venessa. The same woman he had foolishly trusted, only for his own voice recording to be leaked to the world. She had tricked him. Lied to him. Changed her identity just to g

Ryan adjusted his grip on Amy’s tiny hand as they walked out of the office building, her small feet practically skipping beside him. The excitement radiating off her was undeniable, and he couldn’t help but smile at the way she kept glancing up at him with bright eyes.“Where are we going first, Daddy?” Amy asked eagerly, swinging their joined hands.Ryan glanced down at her, amused by her enthusiasm. “Where do you want to go?”Amy pursed her lips in thought. “A fun place!” she finally declared.Ryan chuckled. “That’s not very specific, princess.”She giggled. “Maybe the movies? Can we watch a movie first?”“Of course,” Ryan agreed without hesitation. “Let’s find a good one.”They reached his car, and Ryan helped Amy into the back seat, fastening her seatbelt before getting into the driver’s seat. He pulled out his phone and quickly searched for the nearest luxury cinema that had child-friendly movies playing. Within seconds, he found a the

Kate stretched her arms lazily as the morning sun streamed through the window. She turned to the side, finding the other half of the bed empty. Jake was already awake, sitting on the edge of the bed, pulling on his jeans. His broad shoulders tensed as he buttoned them, and without looking at her, he muttered,“So, what is this, Kate? You call me when you need me, and then you kick me out like I’m some damn delivery service?”Kate sighed, running a hand through her hair. She had barely gotten any sleep, her mind too consumed with frustration over Ryan. She sat up, the silk sheets pooling around her waist, and rolled her eyes.“Jake, you knew what this was from the beginning. Don’t act like you expected anything more.”Jake turned, his jaw tightening. “You think I don’t know what you’re doing? You use me when things with Ryan don’t go your way. Every damn time, Kate. And the moment you’re done, you shove me out the door.”Kate stood, slipping on her robe as sh
