Alex:

I woke before she did, it was rare when I didn’t.

For a moment, I didn’t move. I simply listened to her beside me.

Her breathing was slow and even beside me, warm against my shoulder. One of her legs was tangled loosely with mine, like sometime during the night she had searched for me in her sleep and found what she needed.

I smiled despite myself, fighting back the urge to kiss her in fear that I would be waking her.

My hand slid carefully over the sheets until I found her wrist. And run

  • Alluring Mr. Billionaire    Chapter 41

    Meghan:I sat beside Alex in the waiting area, trying not to let my nerves show.He was holding my hand again. And I could tell by his tight grip that he was afraid.“You’re doing it again,” I whispered.“Doing what?” He asked before realizing that he was squeezing my hand. He let my hand go, before sighing. “I am sorry. I am doing my best to contain myself, but it gets hard sometimes.”I shook my head slightly. “It’s fine.”Truthfully, I didn’t mind. It meant he needed me.But I also knew Alex well enough now to recognize the tension sitting under his calm.He wasn’t scared easily. And for him to ignore his own rules about no public affection and holding my hand like that told me that he was doing his best to force his own fear down.He had faced business collapses, betrayals, legal battles, everything the world could throw at someone with his kind of power.But this was different.This was something he couldn’t control.“Whatever they say,” I said softly, “we’ll deal with it. I know

    Alex:Hospitals have a particular kind of silence.Not the peaceful kind.The controlled kind.Everything is quieter than it should be, voices lowered, footsteps softened, machines humming in the background like the building itself is breathing.I hated it.I stood near the reception desk, my cane resting lightly against the tile floor, listening to the muted conversations around us. Papers shuffled somewhere behind the counter. A nurse spoke gently to someone down the hall. The faint scent of antiseptic hung in the air.Meghan’s hand was still in mine. She had taken it the moment we walked in and hadn’t let go since. And despite us being in public, I couldn’t care less if anyone was watching. I needed her to ground me.“You’re squeezing,” she whispered softly.I loosened my grip slightly. “Sorry.”“It’s fine.” Her voice was calm. “You’re pretending not to be nervous,”“I just don’t like not knowing the outcome of things.” I muttered, knowing well that she understood me more than anyo

    Meghan:I had just finished brushing my hair when I heard the knock.Not loud.Not hesitant either.Just two quiet taps against the door.I already knew who it was.“Come in,” I said. And the fact that he knocked the door only told me that he was trying not to startle me.The door opened slowly, and Alex stepped inside. The hallway light framed him for a second before the door closed behind him. His cane tapped lightly against the floor as he moved further into the room, the sound familiar now in a way it hadn’t been months ago.I watched him carefully.There was something different about him tonight.I just couldn’t put my finger on it.“You’re still awake,” he said. “I didn’t expect you to be, given the long day that you had.”“I was about to sleep.” I said, raising an eyebrow. “But even so, you still knocked on the door. You clearly were hoping that I would be awake.”He nodded slightly, then moved forward until the edge of the bed brushed the back of his legs. His hand found the m

    Laura:The house looked different from the outside at night.Too large.Too bright.Too much like the life my brother had always claimed he didn’t want.And the fact that he was back here only told me that he was bound to stay. Otherwise, he wasn’t going to come back at all, and my daughter insisting to stay told me a lot more than she would have wanted to admit.I stepped down the front stairs calmly, smiling at the staff member who opened the car door for me. The night air was cool, quiet, city silence instead of mountain wind.I slid into the back seat.The door closed.And the mask dropped, the smile on my face was wiped almost immediately as I stopped playing through with the act that I was going with.Dennis was already inside.He didn’t look at me immediately, nor did he open his mouth to speak. He waited until the driver pulled away from the gates.Then he spoke.“So.”Just that one word.I folded my hands neatly in my lap, fighting back the annoyance that I felt that so much

    Alex:I knew the moment she stepped back into the house.I had left a while earlier, leaving her to work fulltime until she enrolled fully in college to have her part time. She was going to need to be trained, and I knew that it was not going to happen with her working half day.I was already seated at the dining table when she entered the room. The maids moved quietly around us, placing dishes down with careful precision. The house no longer echoed like the cabin had. It carried structure now. Presence. Witnesses.She took her seat across from me, not saying a word.“How was your first day?” I asked calmly. “I heard about the few issues you had starting.”She hesitated just a fraction too long.“Fine.” She said calmly. “I managed the issues eventually. I just needed to understand the concept.”I rested my hands on the table.“Fine,” I repeated.“Yes.”The word came firmer this time.I let the silence stretch.She hated silence when she felt cornered.“I heard you rearranged three mee

    Meghan:The first hour had gone better than I expected.Too well, actually.No one had openly questioned me. No one had made a scene. A few polite smiles. A few longer looks than necessary. But nothing I couldn’t handle.I told myself that maybe I had overthought this.That maybe being “the boss’s niece” would be neutral.It wasn’t.It took exactly one mistake to understand that.I was organizing the afternoon schedule Thomas had left for me. Names. Meeting times. Boardroom allocations. There were three overlapping appointments, and I thought I had adjusted them correctly.Apparently, I hadn’t.A woman with sharp glasses and sharper cheekbones stopped at my desk.“Why did you move Mr. Hale’s meeting?” she asked flatly. “Who allowed you to even think about doing so?”I looked up. “Because it overlapped with the investment call. It will end up delaying more than it should, and might…”“That call is flexible.” She snapped, stopping me.“I was told the call was priority.” I said, looking
