Nikolai POV

I was in my office, trying to round things up for the night, when my thoughts suddenly drifted to Anastasia.

She'd been on my mind all day from the intense moment we shared in the bathroom, the way she had kissed me and how she had melted into my arms. I couldn't shake the image of her, couldn't stop thinking about the way her body had felt against mine.

I was still lost in those thoughts when my phone rang.

Elias.

"Report," I said, my voice flat.

"Sir, I have an update on Bianca. S

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   The house arrest

    Anastasia's POVI left Zara’s home with lots of thoughts running through my mind. I honestly have no idea why I was going through with Zara’s crazy plan but I guess that's what friends do for each other.I love her and that has become the driving force for why I'm going through with this crazy plan.My phone ringing brought me back, the screen displayed a strange number. I was hesitant about picking up the call but I summoned up courage and answered the phone call, placing it over my ear.“Hello? Anastasia Reed on the phone.”“Hello Anastasia.” The familiar voice said from the other end of the phone.My mood immediately became sour upon hearing the voice that spoke through the phone. She was the least person I was expecting to call me.“What do you fucking want Bianca?” I asked, irritated by the fact that she had called me. “I see you've changed your number, is this another number that you can use to scam people all over again?”“I honestly do not want to fight with you right now, but

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   Desperate Hearts, Distant Shores

    Anastasia's POVLove they say drives you crazy in ways unfathomable and I got to see firsthand the experience of how love does that to someone. Zara finally explained her plan in full, and I felt my jaw drop.Damon's yacht party was going to be on an isolated island. Not just a stop along the way, it was going to be an actual destination. The yacht would dock there, and guests would have the opportunity to explore, mingle, and enjoy the secluded paradise. Zara on the other hand had done her research thoroughly. She knew exactly which island, its layout, and how to access it without raising any form of suspicion."I can find the island easily enough," she said, her voice brimming with confidence. "And I've already arranged for provisions. There's food, water, supplies and everything we would need to survive for weeks. It's all being stocked as we speak."I stared at her, still not fully grasping where this was heading. "Provisions? For what?""For me and for Elias."The pieces clicked

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   The Yacht Decision

    Nikolai POVI returned straight to the office, and the sight that greeted me made me instantly want to turn around and just leave immediately.There was a bulk load of files stacked on my desk, towering like a mountain of paperwork that had somehow multiplied in my absence. Contracts. Reports. Legal documents. Each one demands my attention and each one seems to be more tedious than the last.I sat down, running a hand through my hair. "Elias," I called.He appeared in the doorway, his expression carefully neutral. "Sir?""What is all this?"He stepped closer, gesturing at the stack. "These are the files that have accumulated during your extended stay in Athens and they require your immediate attention.""Immediate? They can't be extended further?""No, sir. You've been gone for over a week. These files can't be put off any longer." He paused, a hint of accusation in his voice. "You brought this on yourself by staying an extra week and a Day"I glared at him. "I didn't ask for your opi

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   Rants and Plans

    Anastasia POVThe trip back to London was heartbreaking in ways I couldn't fathom.Not because of the flight itself, the private jet was comfortable, the food was excellent, and Nikolai was his usual attentive self but because I'd just spent a week in paradise, and now I was being dragged back to reality which was filled with endless work, meetings, deadlines. The endless, soul-crushing grind of corporate life."This is so boring," I lamented, sprawled across Zara's office couch. "I can't believe I have to go back to work tomorrow and have to sit through meetings, answer emails and pretend to care about quarterly reports."Zara was at her desk, scrolling through her phone, barely acknowledging me."I used to love my job," I continued. "I used to feel alive when I was closing deals and solving problems but now? Now it just feels like... work. Like I'm wasting my life away in a building when I could be somewhere beautiful. Somewhere like Athens."Zara made a noncommittal noise."And the

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie   Home is Wherever you are

    Anastasia POVThe first sensation I woke up to was the ache between my legs. It was a pleasant ache, the kind that reminded me of exactly what had happened the night before.The image of Nikolai when he looked at me with those dark, desire-filled eyes, his hands roaming my body and he how had taken me apart piece by piece until I was nothing but a trembling mess beneath him.My face flushed remembering all the details from last night.I couldn't stop thinking about how much of a beast Nikolai was in bed. He was relentless, insatiable, utterly devoted to my pleasure. He'd made me come so many times that I'd lost count, each release more intense than the last.I pressed my thighs together, a shiver running through me.Note to self, I thought. Never taunt Nikolai sexually again. It's a bad move. A very, very bad move.But even as I thought it, I knew I'd probably do it again. The thrill I had of pushing his buttons, of watching him lose control, was too addictive to resist.I was still l

  • Bound By A Billion-Dollar Lie    Taunting the Bear

    Anastasia’s POVThe feeling of Nikolai's hands on my body made me aroused and wet. Every touch sent electric currents racing through my skin. His fingers were warm, deliberate, tracing slow circles on my thigh. I could feel my pulse pounding in my ears, my breath coming in shallow gasps."Do you want me to stop?" he asked, his voice rough.I didn't know when I said it, the word just slipped out, barely above a whisper. "No."My answer didn't make him stop. His hands continued their slow exploration, moving from my thigh to my hip, then back down. He was driving me crazy, the pleasure building with every touch.After applying the ointment, he began to kiss me. His lips traced a path from my sprained ankle, up my calf, to the sensitive skin behind my knee. I shivered, my fingers gripping the sheets. He kissed higher, his mouth hot against my thigh.I could feel his breath on me, warm and teasing. He looked up at me, his eyes dark."You're so wet for me," he murmured.I opened my mouth t
