Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride 158 Their Only Chance
Nola and Norchester had kept up the act for nearly a week.By then, even Norchester had begun to wonder whether her plan was going anywhere.They were discussing whether to try something else when a Rook family car finally arrived.Quill had come in person.“Miss Nola, Sir Samuel would like to see you. Please come with me.”That alone told her how impatient Samuel had become.Nola lifted her chin.“What does he want?”“I still need to see my teacher. The music festival is coming up, and I will be performing with him. We have rehearsals.”She made sure to sound reluctant.“It will not take long,” Quill promised. “I will bring you back afterward.”Then he lowered his voice.“Please. If you refuse, I will have a difficult time explaining it when I return.”Nola rubbed her chin as though giving the matter serious thought
Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride 157 Luring Him Into the Trap
The next morning, a newspaper lay beside Samuel’s breakfast.He followed the same routine every day. Eat, drink tea, read the headlines.Then he saw Norchester’s name.Samuel read the article once.Then again.By the third time, there was no room left for doubt.That old bastard had returned.He still dared to come back to Cathay?Samuel had driven him out decades ago and warned him never to set foot in the country again.Had he forgotten?The newspaper struck the table with a loud thud.Samuel clenched his jaw, anger rising through his chest.Quill glanced over.“Sir, are you all right?”“Read this.”Samuel threw the paper at him.One look was enough.Quill knew the history better than almost anyone.Decades earlier, Samuel and Norchester had nearly destroyed each other over Willa.Samuel had won her hand thro
Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride 156 The Plan Begins
Once Calder learned she was going to meet her teacher, he had Wayne prepare a car for the airport.He did not want to let her go.But if they wanted any chance of staying together in the long run, he had to.The airport arrivals hall was crowded when Nola reached it.Her timing was good. Norchester’s flight had landed not long before.She waited nearly forty minutes before spotting him among the stream of passengers.He was in his sixties now, dressed in a dark coat cut to fit him perfectly. A few threads of silver ran through the hair swept neatly back from his forehead. Age had not dimmed his eyes or bent his posture.He still carried himself with the polished ease of an English gentleman.Norchester was not alone.Assistants and guards moved around him in a sizeable group.As an internationally celebrated musician, his return had already been announced in the news. Officially, he had come back to ho
Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride 155 Love Me Hard
The executives cleared out at once.No one needed the situation explained. Their chief executive had a woman asleep in his office, and whatever happened next was none of their business.Calder closed the door, locked it, then messaged Wayne with strict instructions that no one was to disturb him.He left the files on his desk, removed his jacket, and crossed to the sofa.Nola lay curled on her side, sound asleep.Her breathing was soft and even. Thick lashes cast faint shadows beneath her eyes, and her lips were parted in a tiny pout. Every so often, she made a small movement w
Billionaire’s Mistake: Claiming the Wrong Bride 154 Waiting for Him to Walk Into the Trap
Joren stood against the front of the car, a cigarette burning between his fingers.Under the streetlamp, his shadow stretched far across the pavement.Wanda watched from behind the curtain.She had felt something in that kiss. There was no point lying to herself about that.But feeling it changed nothing.With Meryl and Nola now tied so closely to the Rook family, there was no future left for her and Joren.She had fallen once in the same place.She would not do it again.Outside, Joren remained by the car.His thoughts were tangled beyond sorting.Wanda.Her child.The cigarette shook between his fingers.He lifted his head toward the Avery residence and caught what looked like a figure near one of the windows.Was it her?The curtain closed.Then the light went out.He smoked until the pavement around him was scattered with cigarette ends, but the pressure i

“This plan will only work after my teacher comes back.”Nola gave him enough of the idea to understand where she was going.A smile tugged at Calder’s mouth.“You little schemer. No one has more tricks than you.”“I am going to turn Samuel’s own rules against him.”She grinned.“I will make his head hurt, his feet hurt, and his backside hurt too.”The thought of what was coming sent her rolling across the bed in laughter.Calder watched her, warmth spreading through his chest.“I want to hold you so badly, baby.”His voice softened.“Every day I cannot kiss you feels wrong.”His body wanted her as much as his heart did.He wanted to see her every day. Hold her. Touch her. Keep her close.“Then come see me.”Nola blinked at him.“I miss you too.”“I probably cannot.”Samuel had arranged people to watch both of them.“For now, we cannot give him an
