Jason stilled behind me.

I felt it.

The shift.

His heartbeat—fast, uneven—pressed against my back.

The mist thickened.

And for a second—

Everything blurred.

Then—

Jason moved.

His hand steadied my waist as he leaned in—

and then—

He bit me.

Sharp.

Sudden.

Pain shot through my neck—

clean, precise, real.

I gasped.

And just like that—

The fog shattered.

My mind snapped back into focus.

The heat faded into the background.

The distraction broke.

Pain.

Clear.

Grounding.

I inhaled deeply, my thoughts

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   A Pretty Flower

    Jason POVApparently, Jasmine had run out of patience.I should have expected it. Leaving an eighteen-year-old who had recently been shot outside a suspicious hotel room with nothing to do except listen to other people talk had probably been optimistic from the beginning. Noah had been keeping me updated, and for several hours they had done exactly what Mr. Stait wanted: observe, listen, collect information and avoid confrontation.Then my phone vibrated.The message was from Jasmine.Don't yell.I stared at those two words and immediately knew I was going to yell.Another message arrived before I could respond.I found something.There was a photograph attached beneath it.At first, I didn't understand what I was looking at. It was a hotel room photographed from an angle that suggested Jasmine had taken the picture quickly. Part of the bed was visible, along with several bottles, discarded glasses and the kind of mess I expected from a room occupied by men who had apparently spent ho

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   The Third Toxin

    Jason POVPamela and Marcus arrived several hours later with Clara and the baby.They didn't come to the hospital. Mr. Stait had already decided that bringing Clara anywhere near Amber's room would be an unnecessary risk. Instead, they went directly to the castle, where security could control every entrance and Clara could disappear behind walls that had protected my family for generations.Marcus called long enough to tell us they'd arrived safely."She's exhausted," he said. "The baby slept most of the drive, thankfully. Mrs.Sun is having rooms prepared for them now.""How is Clara?""Scared. Trying not to show it."I understood that better than I wanted to."Has she heard from Adrian?""No."That single word carried more weight than anything else he could have said."Stay with her.""We will."I ended the call and looked toward Amber.Emory had been in and out of her room constantly since her condition turned critical. She hadn't deteriorated further, which everyone insisted was go

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   The Asher Family Is Done

    Jason POVHours later, my phone rang. The second I saw Marcus's name on the screen, I answered and put him on speaker so Mr. Asher and Mr. Stait could hear. "Do you have them?""Yes. Clara and the baby are with us. We just left the building."Mr. Asher exhaled beside me, some of the tension finally leaving his face. It didn't last. I heard Pamela say something sharply in the background, too low for me to understand, and Marcus suddenly went quiet."What?" I demanded, already knowing from the change in his silence that something was wrong."Our rear team just contacted us," Marcus said. Mr. Stait immediately moved closer to the phone as Marcus continued. "Several men entered Clara and Adrian's building right after we pulled away.""How many?" Mr. Stait asked."At least six. Dark clothing, faces covered."The room fell silent. Mr. Asher pushed himself to his feet while Mr. Stait's expression hardened, his attention completely focused on the call."How long after they left?" Mr. Asher de

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   3 Days

    Jason POVAmber's numbers had finally stopped falling, but nobody was willing to use the word stable again.Neither was I.Emory remained with the critical-care team, working through every result as it came in while I sat beside Amber's bed with my hand wrapped around hers. Her condition was still critical, and every few minutes my eyes moved automatically from her face to the monitors, as if I could somehow keep the numbers where they belonged simply by watching them.Mr. Asher hadn't left either. His phone had barely stopped ringing since he'd discovered that his sister had contacted relatives to announce that her branch no longer wanted to be considered part of the Asher family.We already knew Adrian was missing, nobody could reach him. His phone wasn't connecting, he hadn't responded to company communications, and no one could establish his current location. Mr. Stait's people were already tracing his movements.The problem was Clara.We had tried calling her repeatedly, but she

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Slipping through my fingers

    Jason POVMr. Asher lasted less than five minutes after Mr. Stait finished speaking about Jasmine before deciding he was done waiting."If members of my family are involved, I want to know which ones."Mr. Stait looked up from his phone. "My people are already investigating.""And they'll continue investigating," Mr. Asher replied. "But they're investigating a criminal conspiracy. I'm investigating my family."There was enough difference between those two things that Mr. Stait didn't argue.Mr. Asher stepped into the hallway with his phone already in his hand. I stayed beside Amber, listening to his voice through the partially open door as he started making calls. He didn't begin with accusations. He asked questions about family gatherings, recent conversations, Adrian's relatives and anyone who had suddenly changed plans after Amber was hospitalized.It didn't take long before the answers became strange.Mr. Asher returned almost half an hour later, looking older than he had when he

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   The ones who raised her

    Jason POVwhen Mr. Stait checked his phone again, I finally understood the expression on his face.I'd seen it before.Not on him.On myself.It was the same sick mixture of anger and fear I'd felt when Amber collapsed. The same helpless fury I'd felt when the doctors took her through doors I couldn't follow her through. It wasn't irritation because Jasmine had ignored orders. It wasn't even the anger of a commander whose injured soldier had disappeared during an active investigation.It was personal.I thought back to the waiting room when Iris had handed me Jasmine's letter. Mr. Stait hadn't reacted like a superior discovering that one of his people had gone off mission. He'd immediately started pulling cameras, tracing routes and issuing orders with a kind of controlled urgency I recognized now because I'd spent the last several hours feeling it myself.He'd been scared.Noah had just told me Jasmine was safe, yet Mr. Stait was still checking his phone as though he needed constant

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Eviction

    I didn’t cry. I didn’t shake. I didn’t look back, or mourned the life and the years i will never get back, lost forever. I just went home, time to pack and say goodbye to my old life. The penthouse doors opened with biometric recognition the moment I stepped inside. Floor-to-ceiling glass. Marb

    We moved quickly through the hallway. Adrian walked behind me, gun raised, covering the corridor while I forced Henry Watson forward. The mansion was quieter than expected. Too quiet. Which meant either the guards were regrouping… or Jason was already on his way. I glanced over my shoulder.

    Jason POV Marcus nearly slammed the brakes. “She shot the camera!” I leaned back slowly. Marcus looked at me. “What the hell was that?” I ran a hand over my face. “She said hello husband before she shot it.” Marcus stared. “…Okay.” Silence filled the car. “…What does that mean exactly?”

  • A Woman Worth Billions, Dated the Wrong Brother   Drama

    Family drama. Honestly, I was getting tired of it. I shifted slightly in the chair, letting the ropes around my wrists rub just enough to make the guards think I was uncomfortable. In truth, they had tied them loosely—political kidnappers rarely knew how to do proper restraints. Across from me,
