~DANIEL~

After I left Jessica to answer the call from my team, I didn't go back to her.

I was really worried about the threat but I didn't want to show it to her.

She could get murdered like my mom if I don't act fast.

So, I didn’t sleep.

I couldn’t.

Not when Jessica's life is in danger.

Instead, I sat in my study all night, combing through every detail, every email, every interaction over the past few weeks.

Something wasn’t adding up. Whoever was watching Jessica had access to information that wasn’t public. They knew the specifics of the Armitage contract. And they were close.

Too close.

By morning, we had a name. My team and I.

Troy Carrington.

Damon Masters’ assistant.

I remembered the way he looked at me during the Armitage dinner party….cold, sharp, like a man who thought I’d stolen something from him.

And maybe in his mind, I had.

Damon was supposed to get that contract. Until I swooped in and sealed the deal.

I couldn't wait till day break to break the good news to

  • Bound by a billionaire    Memories of our first love making

    ~JESSICA~I hoped within me Daniel wasn't with Leonie as I walked back to the treehouse.I was scared.What if what happened between Daniel and Crystal repeated itself??What if Daniel wasn't able to resist Leonie's seduction?? I could see the door was open when I reached the steps of the treehouse.So no Richard and presumably, no Leonie.Daniel was either working or avoiding me..“Daniel? If Mr. Isogawa finds out that you're up here working….”I stopped dead.He wasn't working. He was fast asleep.Apparently, he had actually intended to come down to the beach because a pair of black swimming trunks lay on the bed beside him. His feet were bare, his shirt unbuttoned. His lips parted slightly. And through them, I heard the faintest of snores.“Daniel?” I said quietly this time, more to be sure that he was really sound asleep than try to wake him up.He didn't respond. Not even an eyelash flickered.I shouldn't be surprised, I realized.While I had slept

  • Bound by a billionaire    Where's Daniel??

    ~JESSICA~The honeymoon bure was awesome.I stood in the open doorway and looked around in amazement. All of the resort's bures or native bungalows looked beautiful as we passed them. But this one, inside and out, was spectacular.It was a bure and not quite a bure. A thatched island cottage, yes, but it was built in a tree—like a treehouse.The room seemed carved out on the tree, not perched in it.“Not traditional” Mr. Isogawa had apologized. “But we think, nice.”Nice didn't cover it.The bure was nestled a dozen steps up in the spread of a vast tree that I couldn't identify. From the frond covered front porch with its gently swinging hammock to the interior native hardwood floors and the vast king size bed.There's a private open air waterfall shower and spa hidden from the beach by carefully placed Bamboo screens. It was elegant and spacious.With views of a sand and sea paradise out of every door and window, it was beyond anything that I had ever imagine

  • Bound by a billionaire    Family and love is important

    ~DANIEL~Mr. Isogawa said something else to Jessica in Japanese, and she blushed and held out her left hand for inspection.I felt a prickling between my shoulder blades as he even lifted her finger to scrutinize them in silence. Then he smiled.Jessica said something to him in Japanese and his eyes went to her stomach immediately. Mr. Isogawa smiled again. This time, it was different than his earlier smiles. This one reached his eyes. It seemed to come from the inside out and I knew that Jessica has disclosed the news of being pregnant to him.He held out Jessica's hand out for me to take.“Finally” I said inwardly.Slowly, I took her hand.Mr. Isogawa turned to me, his gaze searching. “I see you chose well.”My face suddenly felt hot. “I think so. I'm glad you agree.”Still smiling, Mr. Isogawa nodded. Then he turned and beckoned to a woman hovering in shadows on the far side of the lounge. She was about the same age as he was, very petite and beautifully dre

  • Bound by a billionaire    Vacation in Fiji

    ~JESSICA~“What do you think about us going on a vacation??” Daniel suddenly asked while we're having dinner together.It's the third day after the rain and Daniel has been kind to me, even though he's still holding back.He surprised me by coming home early today just to have dinner with me.Now, he's giving me another surprise by asking me on what I think about us going on a vacation.“You want us to go on a vacation??” I asked.“You didn't answer my question” he replied. “What do you think about going on a vacation with me?? It's just for a week.”“Sounds cool” I replied.Really cool. At least, I'd get to clear my head.I laughed inwardly at that thought. Clearing my head wouldn't be possible since the person making me stress mentally and emotionally is also going on the vacation with me.But still, I needed a change of environment.I needed something new. Something fresh. Maybe we could start all over again.“It seems you're interested in it. That's fine then

  • Bound by a billionaire    Thunderstorms

    ~DANIEL~I couldn’t focus.Not at all.I sat in my office at the company, the glass walls doing nothing to block out the buzz of work happening around me. My fingers hovered over the keyboard, but the screen remained blank. The words in the reports in front of me made no sense. My new assistant knocked twice to bring in some documents, but I barely heard her. I only nodded absently, eyes staring past her.All I could think about was her. Jessica.The kiss.Her soft lips against mine. The way she clutched my singlet like she was scared I’d vanish. The heat in her gaze. The silent plea in her touch.And then the hurt in her eyes this morning when I walked away.God.I clenched my jaw and pushed the chair back, standing abruptly and pacing the office. I ran my fingers through my hair again, nearly pulling at the roots.That kiss had shaken something loose in me.Something I’d been holding together.I wanted her. But more than that, I felt her.Every breath she too

  • Bound by a billionaire    Don't go please

    ~DANIEL~The hot water from the shower had done little to wash away the tension in my body. No matter how long I stood under it, I couldn’t drown the memory of her voice echoing in my head:“If you want to know what I sleep in…why don't you come to my room at night to check?”Fuck.I had no business reacting the way I did. But my body didn’t care about logic. It remembered. And remembering her—her scent, her warmth, the way her skin used to melt into mine, was the worst kind of torture.I dried myself off, pulled on a fresh singlet and shorts, then stepped into the hallway. Her room was just after mine, and before I could talk myself out of it, I walked straight to the connecting door in my room.The door wasn’t locked.She never locked it. Or maybe she didn't even know there's a connecting door. And I didn't need to use the main door if I wanted to go into her room.I pushed it open quietly and stepped inside.Then stopped cold.She was in bed, fast asleep.B
