~DANIEL~

I walked as fast as I could to my car, before I'll be tempted to go back into the house, pull Jessica into my embrace and give her a very tight hug.

I had seen the hurt in her eyes.

I had seen the tears building up in her eyes and how she fought desperately not to let it fall.

And it broke my heart.

I didn't mean to be harsh.

I didn't mean to threaten her in any way.

But that was the only way I could get her to remain in my life.

I didn't just want the kids, I wanted her too.

Damnit! I wanted her so bad, and that's because I love her so much.

But she kept bringing up Crystal every single time.

Crystal…. the name that brings so much anger to me.

I still can't reach her.

She must have gone into hiding but I'll make sure I find her, and she must pay.

She must pay for everything she has done.

Every single thing. For coming into my life in the first place. For making me fall in love with her. For playing with my feelings and hurting me. For making me this

  • Bound by a billionaire    Contract and fake marriage

    ~JESSICA~Grace and I heard the sharp, unmistakable voice.“What contract are you talking about?? And what the hell have you done, Jessica??”We both turned back immediately towards the door and we saw Sarah standing there.“Mom!” Grace called in surprise.“Sarah,” I called.“What contract are you talking about??” My stepmom repeated.Grace and I turned to look at each other, then back at Sarah.She walked to the center of the room and stood there.“Explain yourself, Jessica” she demanded.I know that tone. The tone that says she wants nothing but the truth.So I cleared my throat, and started to speak.“My marriage with Daniel was a contract. More like a fake, arranged marriage.”Sarah gasped loudly. “And you hid it from me all these while??”“I'm sorry, mom. I didn't mean to” I apologized.“Tell me why. Tell me why you agreed to such stupid contract” she almost screamed.I didn't reply. I just stared at her like I didn't understand her question.“I'm askin

    ~JESSICA~Daniel was standing at the door when Grace went to open it.He's freshly shaven. Eyes shadowed but clearer. Hair damp like he’d just stepped out of the shower.And then his voice came out loud, stern, sharp and commanding.“We need to talk, Jessica.”I swallowed hard.I wasn't sure I was ready to talk. But I nodded anyway.“I'll be in my room,” Grace said to me.She took a quick glance at Daniel and walked away quickly.Daniel stood, watching me with hawk-like eyes. We stared at each other in silence for a very long while before I broke the silence.“Do you want to sit??” I managed to say.He stared at the couch like it had thorns on it.He's clearly hesitating. Debating if he should sit or not.Finally, he sat on a couch very far from me and cleared his throat.My hands went protectively over my stomach.His eyes traced my hands but he didn't say anything.“What do you want us to talk about??” I asked.“About everything,” he said sternly.I swallowed

  • Bound by a billionaire    Where love and fury collides

    ~DANIEL~I didn’t remember driving home.The city blurred past my windows like a smear of color and regret.I parked outside my house but didn’t get out. Just sat there. Hands gripping the wheel. Heart pounding like I’d run a marathon I never signed up for.She lied to me.She lied.But that wasn’t what hurt the most.It was the why.I thought knowing the truth would bring me peace. Closure. Something solid to stand on.Instead, it felt like the ground had cracked open beneath me, and all I had was the sound of her voice breaking as she cried in that hospital lobby.God, she looked beautiful even though she looked tired.Glowing.Pregnant with my children.I should have felt triumph… that the babies were mine, that I hadn’t imagined the connection.But all I felt was fury. And devastation. Because she didn’t trust me.Not enough to tell me the truth.Not enough to believe in us.I rested my head on the steering wheel, the cool leather pressing into my forehead.He

  • Bound by a billionaire    A cruel punishment

    ~JESSICA~I should have known.I should have known Daniel wouldn’t just walk away.Not when his eyes that day held more than just betrayal — they held questions. A storm.But still, nothing could prepare me for what I found when I walked into the hospital lobby the next morning for a follow-up appointment.Grace had gone ahead of me to check in with the receptionist, while I walked slowly behind, careful not to slip. My hands instinctively rested on my belly, now round and unmistakably pregnant.I knew the second I walked into that hospital lobby.Before I saw him.Before he spoke.Before he looked at me.I didn’t see him at first.But I felt him.Like a magnetic field pulling my breath from my lungs.And then I turned.And saw him.Daniel.Standing by the far end of the waiting room, back against the wall, arms crossed, those storm-grey eyes locked on me like I was the only thing in the world that existed.My heart nearly stopped.“Daniel…” I breathed, stunned. My f

  • Bound by a billionaire    The truth

    ~JESSICA~Darkness.It pulled me under like waves crashing over my head. Weightless. Spinning. Distant voices echoed, and then…nothing.When I opened my eyes, I was staring at a white ceiling.The sterile scent of antiseptic hit me next. A beeping machine somewhere in the background. Then came the pain…. not physical, but deep in my chest, like something inside me had cracked.“Jessica?” A familiar voice called softly.I turned my head.Grace.She was sitting beside me, her eyes wide with worry, holding my hand tightly.“Oh my God, thank God,” she breathed, a tear rolling down her cheek. “You scared the hell out of me.”I blinked, trying to sit up. “What… what happened?”“You fainted,” she said gently, adjusting the pillow behind my back. “In your room. Leo and I rushed you here. The doctor said it was stress and low blood sugar. You haven’t been eating properly.”I swallowed hard, glancing down at my belly. A sudden panic took over me. “The babies?”“They’re fine,” she
