Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 95

Wiona just stared, completely taken aback.

Had she heard him right?

Conrad took a slow sip of tea. He kept his eyes lowered for a moment, then looked up and met her gaze with an intensity that felt almost too much. “The Sullivan family needs your help,” he said quietly, but there was nothing casual about it. “This is the offer I’m bringing to you, not just from me, but from all of us.”

Something shifted in Wiona’s chest. Everyone in Stonehill knew what the Sullivan family meant. They were untouchable, the richest, most powerful force in the city. When they moved, the whole city moved. Being under their protection could change your entire life.

Since she’d left the Morgan family, Wiona had only ever had herself to count on. Her talent and her stubbornness were the only reasons she hadn’t ended up sleeping on the street. This offer was almost impossible to resist. But she’d have to be out of her mind to get close to Conrad any more than she already was. She was already keeping a secret for him, maybe the biggest secret of all.

She reminded herself to stay sharp. Smiling politely, she slid her notebook across the table. She’d already written down what she needed to say.

[Mr. Sullivan, you’re right. I am W.]

[Now, will you finally tell me why you were so determined to find me?]

She’d said it. She’d admitted it. Conrad had always suspected, but now that it was out in the open, he let out a breath he’d probably been holding for months. A real smile tugged at his lips, pure relief and a happiness he didn’t bother to hide.

“Ms. Morgan, do you know how hard it was to find you?” he said, his voice almost teasing. “You’re only the second person in Stonehill who’s ever managed to give me this much trouble.”

“You’ve done a good job hiding. And honestly, you aren’t anything like the rumors. You’re full of surprises.”

Wiona looked away, feeling her cheeks heat up. She’d never known what to do with praise, especially when it was this direct.

Conrad didn’t seem to notice. He leaned back, his eyes distant for a moment, and then he started to tell her a story.
