Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Twist of Fate with the Callous Billionaire : Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

—Ethan It wasn’t the glass of scotch that kept my hands shaking. I’d dealt with billion-dollar mergers, asset bleeding lawsuits, and boardroom coups where one wrong sentence could cost me everything. But none of those had ever made my chest feel this tight—like something inside me was fraying, pulling apart thread by thread. I couldn’t stop thinking about Sophia. The look in her eyes when she said, “You can't control my life.” God. It was like someone had pierced me a knife directly to my chest. I wasn’t even mad she stood up to me. I was… thrown. I’m not used to being defied—especially not like that. Especially not by someone who had every reason to play it safe. But she didn’t. She stood there, trembling, pregnant, fragile-looking as hell… and still refused to back down. Like some wild, cornered creature refusing to die quietly. And I don’t know what that did to me, but it did something. The contract was still untouched on my desk. Blank signature lines staring back at me like

—Sophia’s POV The steady hum of the coffee machine in the corner did absolutely nothing to calm the rising chaos in my chest. It had been days. Days since I last saw him, Ethan. Since I sat across from him in that cold, soul-sucking office while he tried to twist everything — bend me, break me — using his money like a leash I never asked for. I’ll take care of the baby, but only if you sign this contract.” His voice... God, his voice. Calm. Cold. Like none of this meant a damn thing to him. Like I was just some disposable piece in a game he’d already decided he’d win. I was pregnant. With his child. And I didn’t even know if I wanted to raise this baby with his name looming over it. His presence was a shadow I couldn’t outrun, and the more I tried, the more it clung. I used to be so sure of things — now, I didn’t even know who I was. Everything felt foggy. Distant. Like I was watching my life on a movie series, and no matter how loud I thought I screamed, no one could hear me,

EthanI was just left out in the conversation as if I wasn't even existing, I watched the duo getting along, will that even be necessary since we'll be divorcing soon?“Grandpa, please can we have dinner already?” I said interrupting the conversation.“Can you leave me to have a chat with my grand daughter- in-law, she'll soon be giving me a great grandson soon.”“Fine," I said, as I shrugged and brought out my phone from my suit pocket.“So, my dear, let's continue from where we stopped," he said, patting the back of her hands.“I grew up in Eastern City, I moved over to the Southern city after I lost my parents in a tragic accident while I was eight years old, I was the only one that survived, then I was adopted by my foster family who raised me. I work in one of the biggest Coffee houses in the Southern city.” Sophia faced grandpa after saying, I felt touched where she said she lost her parents, we both have similar tragic events.“Oh dear, I'm so sorry for your loss. You must hav

SophiaThe drive back home was awfully quiet. I took my gaze to the window, and I suddenly envied the people who were having a walk or taking a bus to their respective homes. The car was really suffocating, and I didn't know why my heart was just racing uncontrollably, was it because of the way I found myself this morning. Gosh, I feel really embarrassed, I must have been a bad sleeper last night, how come I was laying on his chest? I don't like this feeling. If I had superpowers, then I'd disappear and be lying comfortably in my room right now.I stole glances at the man who was as cold as ice beside me. He was busy with his Ipad, and I realized he was truly a workaholic. Which normal person would love to work on weekends? Would he even have time for his own family? I couldn't help but admire his composure. Why do billionaires often seem to be this way, even though not all of them but at least the major ones I've seen. Mr Williams has a powerful aura, anyone who stays around him w

Sophia I heard a knock on the door, Mr Williams wouldn't knock before entering his room, so who could that be? I stood up to answer the door, and I saw Nicholine and one of the guards standing outside and holding two big boxes.“And what is this?" I asked with a confused expression on my face.“The boss has sent this for you ma'am” Nicholine said, stretching her hand. He said we should bring the packages to you, "the guard added, and I nodded.I collected the bags from them, and was curious to find out what was in it. The boxes were sealed, and boxes like this are usually from luxury brands, which often contained luxury clothes, bags, and shoes. “We'll take our leave ma'am"I opened the boxes to check what was inside. The first box contained high heels, although not so high. The second box had a beautiful silver purse that was a limited edition. I opened the third box, and there was a beautiful red gown that stopped below my knee. All these items were limited edition, and getting
