The silence after Adrian left the room was heavy. Camilla sat on the edge of the wide bed, her fingers gripping the bedsheet as if she might fall if she let go.

She tried to steady her breathing.The sharpness in his voice. The way his jaw had clenched. The quiet fury that followed. He had barely looked at her before walking out, leaving her stranded with her thoughts.

She felt out of place in this room, in this house, in his world. The bed was too soft, the curtains too tall, the ceiling too far above her head. She didn’t belong here. And yet, here she was.

Her eyes shifted to the bathroom door. She had been holding off, nervous even about using something as simple as the shower. But the weight of the day stayed on her skin like dust. The hospital smell wouldn’t leave her, no matter how many times she rubbed her arms.

Slowly, she stood and walked toward the bathroom.

The lights flicked on automatically when she stepped inside, and for a moment she just stared. The bathroom was sp

  • Bound to the Billionaire    Chapter 15– The expensive closet.

    The morning light filled the room, touching Camilla’s face and waking her earlier than usual. She turned to her side and stared at the ceiling for a while. The mansion was quiet, no sound of Zoe in the kitchen cooking, no kettle boiling. Just silence.Her eyes moved to the closet doors. She had avoided them all week, uneasy by Adrian’s words that it had been “arranged” for her. A closet was supposed to be personal. Hers had been filled with old shoes, worn sweaters, and simple dresses. This one was his choice, not hers.Still, she rose and walked to it, pulling the doors open.The sight hit her like a wave.Different types of expensive clothing filled the space. Blouses, tailored skirts, dresses that looked like they belonged on magazine covers. Shoes were displayed in arranged order, bags arranged neatly under warm lights. Everything screamed wealth, order, and his control.She ran her fingers over a sleeve. The fabric was smooth, delicate. She had never touched anything so fine in h

  • Bound to the Billionaire    Chapter 14- Roseline is awake

    The morning came slower than usual. Camilla stood by the tall glass window of the room, staring at the garden below. The sun was soft, stretching it's golden light across the wide grounds of Adrian’s mansion. For the first time since she had been forced into this contract marriage, she stepped outside to see it for herself.The garden was alive with colors. Roses climbed in soft walls of red and white. Small lilies swayed in the breeze. The grass was so green it looked painted. She walked slowly, touching petals with careful fingers, her heart strangely calm. The scent of the flowers filled her chest, heavy and sweet, making her remember a life she had once dreamed of, peace, a home, love.But this was not peace. This was a contract. Her life was tied to Adrian now, bound to his cold rules and his silent stares. Still, standing in that garden, she felt a small corner of freedom. For a moment she could pretend. Pretend she belonged here, that this beauty was hers.Her thoughts broke wh

  • Bound to the Billionaire    Chapter 13 - Celine is back.

    The ride home was silent. Not the comfortable kind, but the one that pressed on your chest and made your stomach twist. Adrian kept his eyes ahead as he drives , his jaw tight. Camilla stared out the window, her breath fogging the glass. Neither dared to break the quiet.When the car pulled into the driveway of Adrian's mansion, the butler was already waiting by the door. He bowed lightly, voice warm.“Welcome back, sir. Welcome, madam. Shall I have dinner prepared?”Adrian shook his head. “No. Leave us for tonight.”Camilla added nothing, only followed Adrian through the wide hall, her heels echoing faintly. The air smelled faintly of cedar and wax polish. Chandeliers sparkled above, but to her, the house felt colder than the rain outside.Inside their room, Adrian set his suit jacket over a chair. Camilla walked straight to the bathroom, her body craving the heat of a bath. She didn’t even look at him. The door closed behind her, and soon water poured into the marble tub.She sank

  • Bound to the Billionaire    Chapter 12– Dinner at the Ancestral Home

    Camilla closed the hospital door behind her with a soft click, her lips still curved in a small smile. The day had been long, but her heart was light. Roseline’s surgery had finally been scheduled. She could still hear Zoe’s laughter echoing in her ears, the way they had sat together in the waiting lounge, eating crackers from a vending machine and talking about silly things to pass time. For once, the world didn’t feel so heavy on her shoulders.By the time she reached the mansion, the relief in her chest had grown into something like gratitude. She entered the room she shared with Adrian, though the space always felt too big, too quiet. She dropped her bag on the chair and sank into the edge of the bed, running her fingers over the embroidered duvet.A knock came immediately. Sharp, polite, rehearsed.She straightened. “Come in.”The butler stepped inside, holding a large white box in his gloved hands. His face was unreadable, but his tone was formal.“Madam, this is for you.”Camil

  • Bound to the Billionaire    Chapter 11 – The Black Card

    Camilla woke with a yawn. For one moment, she thought she was still in her small apartment, with Zoe in the kitchen and the smell of burnt toast sneaking under her door. But the bed was far too soft, the sheets cool and smooth against her skin. There was silence.She turned her head. The other side of the bed was empty. Adrian hadn’t slept there. Just her, in this big bed that swallowed her whole.Something twisted inside her chest. Last night, his presence had been everywhere. His voice, his eyes, the way he looked at her as if peeling her apart piece by piece. But now? Nothing. Not even a trace.A soft knock at the door broke the silence.“Yes?” Her voice croaked from sleep.The butler’s steady tone floated in. “Miss Camilla, Mr. Adrian requests your presence at the breakfast table.”Her fingers curled under the sheet. “Alright. Thank you.”The footsteps faded. She sat up, rubbing her temples. Her head ached from too many thoughts crowding in at once. Adrian hadn’t even checked on
