The Billionaire CEO Rejected Every Man for One Single Dad — Until Her Sister Revealed Why She Could Never Forget Him
Chapter 11
Their relationship became public months later.
The media called it a reunion.
Victoria hated the word.
It made their story sound easy.
There was nothing easy about it.
They had spent ten years apart.
They had missed birthdays.
Holidays.
Ordinary mornings.
The childhood years of Noah.
The family life they might have had.
But they refused to dwell on what could not be recovered.
Instead, they focused on what they could build.
Victoria became close with Noah.
She attended his school events.
Helped with science projects.
Bought him books.
She never tried to replace anyone.
She simply became part of his life.
One evening, Noah asked her:
“Do you want to be my stepmom?”
Victoria nearly dropped her coffee.
“What?”
He shrugged.
“If you marry Dad.”
Ethan laughed from across the kitchen.
“He has been planning our future.”
Victoria smiled.
“Maybe he’s better at this than we are.”
Noah nodded.
“I am.”
They laughed.
For the first time, family didn’t feel like something Victoria had inherited.
It felt like something she had chosen.
