Bound to My Sister's Billionaire Crush Chapter 194: The Sunset on Harrison (Finale)
- SIERRAThe floorboards in the new place still had that fresh, sawn-pine bite to them, but the kitchen already smelled right. It smelled like the dark roast coffee Desmond kept buying in industrial-sized bags from the wholesale lot down by the shipping canal, mixed with the sweet, powdery scent of baby spit-up that seemed to permanently attach itself to every piece of clothing I owned now.I leaned my shoulder against the door frame of the nursery, hooking a damp dish towel through my fingers. The sun was radiating that long, slow summer drop over Harrison Avenue, bleeding this heavy, orange light right across the hardwood floor.Desmond didn't see me standing there. He had his back turned, his massive frame completely devouring the space next to the window. He’d ditched his work shirt about an hour ago, and he was just in a beat-up grey sleeveless top, his heavy, scarred shoulders looking absurdly huge against the pale blue paint of the walls. He was doing the bounce. That rhythmic
Bound to My Sister's Billionaire Crush Chapter 193: Family Get-together
- SIERRAFor twenty-five years, my mother had lived in places that smelled cheap, so walking through the front door of that cozy cottage that just smelled like a home felt like a massive corporate victory.We bought the place three weeks ago, the day the first major retail distribution check from the Aurora line cleared our new commercial account. It wasn't a mansion. God knows we’d had enough of high-society fortresses. Just a low, sunlit brick-and-timber spot tucked into the quiet woods outside Lincoln. It had these huge floor-to-ceiling windows that let the afternoon light pour straight across the hardwood, a kitchen that actually had room for three people to fight over the coffee maker, and a massive wraparound porch.Grandpa Lorenzo was currently occupying a wicker rocking chair on that porch, his old wool cap pulled low over his eyes, his heavy work boots resting right on the railing. He had a half-empty bottle of Narragansett balanced on his knee, his eyes fixed on the treeli

- SIERRADesmond just signed the resignation papers and tossed the heavy Montblanc pen onto the kitchen island. It hit a plastic bottle of baby lotion with a soft clink."There," he muttered, stretching his arms over his head until his fingers scraped the wooden table. "It's done. I'm officially unemployed. You’re looking at a guy with zero corporate responsibilities and a completely clear calendar."I didn't even look up from the spreadsheet I was highlighting. "Unemployed? Desmond, you just handed a multi-billion-dollar Baltic shipping conglomerate over to a blind trust. You didn’t quit a shift at the car wash.""Same difference," he grunted, walking over to the fridge and pulling out the orange juice carton, drinking straight from the spout until I cleared my throat loudly. He stopped, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and gave me a lazy, lopsided grin. "Look, the New York headquarters has a new CEO now. Some guy named Donovan who wears tiny little round glasses and looks
Bound to My Sister's Billionaire Crush Chapter 191: The Morning After the War
- SIERRAMy phone had been face-down on the kitchen table since six in the morning, vibrating so hard against the wood it sounded like a dying wasp. Every three seconds, the screen would light up with a new push notification from the Wall Street Journal or the local news desks.GALBRAITH TRUST RECOVERY FUND LIQUIDATED. WELLINGTON SHIPPING HALTS THEIR FULL OPERATIONS. VIVIAN WELLINGTON HELD WITHOUT BAIL IN MANHATTAN.I didn’t touch it. I just sat there in one of Desmond’s oversized flannel shirts, my bare feet tucked up under my thighs on the wooden chair, watching the steam rise from a mug of tea I’d forgotten to drink twenty minutes ago.The Somerville house was completely, beautifully quiet. The freezing rain from last night had cleared up, leaving the morning sky that bright, painful Boston blue that makes everything look like it’s been scrubbed with bleach. Adrian was passed out in the bassinet near the radiator, his tiny fists tucked right up against his cheeks under his lucky gr
Bound to My Sister's Billionaire Crush Chapter 190: The Cleanup Crew
- SIERRAThe door didn’t even have time to settle on its broken hinges before the room filled with the kind of noise that makes our ears ring for an hour. Boston PD uniform cops and three of Desmond’s private detail swarmed through the threshold like a dam breaking, their heavy boots tearing up the edges of the fancy hotel rug."Down! Stay down!" someone was yelling, his voice cracking with panic.Vivian didn’t even get a chance to push herself up off the floorboards. One of Marcus’s guys, a massive guy named Big Mike who usually handled the South Boston warehouse docks, dropped his knee straight into the small of her back. The impact made her let out a sharp, pathetic oomph against the carpet. Her hands were yanked behind her torn red silk gown, and the metallic clack-clack of the steel handcuffs locking into place filled the room."Get your hands off me!" Vivian shrieked, her cheek pressed flat against the dusty floor, her eyes rolling back toward the stage lights of the hallway lik
Bound to My Sister's Billionaire Crush Chapter 189: The Strike of Regret
- SIERRAWe made it into the private fourth-floor holding room just in time, and the relief hit me so hard my knees almost gave out. It wasn't the penthouse suite. Nigel had gotten the floors mixed up in the scramble, but Maya had already brought Adrian down here through the freight lift to keep him away from the noise. The room was small, quiet, and tucked away behind the service corridors."He hasn't even stirred, Sierra," Maya whispered, handing the green fleece bundle over to me the second we closed the door. "He had about two ounces of formula and went straight back to sleep.""Thank God," I breathed, scooping him up against my chest. His little warm forehead rested right under my chin as his gentle milk-breath brushed my neck.Desmond didn't waste a second. He checked the window locks, glanced out into the narrow hallway, and turned to Maya. "Take Toby and get down to the garage. Marcus has the Suburban idling by the loading bay. We’re leaving out the back in five minutes.""You

- SIERRAThe glowing numbers on my laptop screen read 3:14 AM.My eyes felt like someone had rubbed sandpaper under the lids, but I couldn't stop. I was deep in the zone, tweaking the colour palette for the Solis Botanicals brand deck, shifting it from that healthcare grey to a warm, rich terracott
Bound to My Sister's Billionaire Crush Chapter 47: The Breaking Point
- SIERRAThe candles flickered across the table as Desmond lit them. I couldn't stop moving my hands. I adjusted my fork, smoothed the napkin, then gripped the edge of the chair. This—whatever this was—felt wrong. Three years of silence, of cold glares and shoulders turned in the middle of the nig

- SIERRAI got a cab, my hands shaking as I gave the driver the address. We drove through the city, through neighborhoods I'd only seen from a distance, until we pulled up to a small, neat house with a bright blue door.I paid the driver and got out, my feet feeling heavy as I walked up the path. My

- SIERRAThe woman reached out, her fingers like dry paper as she tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "Because I’m not blind, Sierra," she said, her voice softening just enough to be dangerous. "I’ve watched you these last few years. I saw how you stitched yourself into the gaps of this f
