The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353: Million Reasons

Melissa’s entire body trembled, her hands gripping the vanity table in the room where she was supposed to change her dress. Her face, despite being flawlessly glammed up, had gone pale.

"What’s going on?" Her voice quivered as she recalled the image of Celestine smiling while casually chatting with Hudson. Her eyes shook, mind running wild with scenarios trying to explain what she’d just seen.

Did Hudson approach Celestine? Or was it the other way around?

"Impossible," she whispered, shaking her head. "She couldn’t have known."

Panicking, she snatched her phone with trembling hands. She scrolled through their chat history, finding countless messages from him—most of which she had ignored. The few times she replied, it was only to tell him she was busy or that she couldn’t give him more money.

Was this his way of threatening her?

But how did he find out about Celestine?

Melissa bit her thumb, heart racing as fast as her thoughts. To her, Hudson was a curse—a leech who would never let her go no matter how many times she rejected him.

"That—" she muttered, flinching when someone knocked on the door.

"Miss Melissa?" one of the makeup artists called from outside. "Have you changed yet?"

She gulped, eyes darting toward the door.

"Miss Melissa?"

"I’m almost done!" she called back, forcing her voice steady. "Almost!"

"Alright then. Your mother said to hurry -- you shouldn’t make the guests wait."

Melissa hissed under her breath and turned away from the door. Staring at her reflection, she gripped the vanity edge tighter.

"You have to calm down, Melissa," she whispered to herself. "Breathe in... and out."

She inhaled deeply, then exhaled until her shoulders dropped. When she reopened her eyes, she forced a nod at her reflection.

"I’m sure he hasn’t told anyone anything yet," she said under her breath. "He’s just trying to scare me."

How Hudson learned about Celestine didn’t matter. That man had a knack for making people miserable. He was cunning—like a fox—and easily her biggest mistake. Had she known what he was truly like, she would’ve never gotten involved with him.

But what was done was done.

Hudson was already a part of her life, and he would remain there... unless he disappeared.

A glint flashed across Melissa’s eyes. Her nails scraped the surface of the vanity before curling into tight fists.

"He’ll only stop if he’s gone," she whispered.

The thought struck her like lightning, and with it came a calm clarity she hadn’t felt in years. There was only one way to stop Hudson’s harassment. One way to erase this curse from her life.

Slowly, her tense shoulders eased. She stared at her reflection and nodded to herself again.

Outside this room was her engagement party—a grand event filled with people from the upper echelon. Once tonight ended, she would officially become part of the Lancaster family. Her life was finally about to begin.

"I’ll have to close this Chapter of my life," she murmured, her voice steadying. "And he won’t be part of it."

At the same time, in the event hall...
