Claimed By The Billionaire At The Altar CHAPTER 101
KIMANI For a moment, I just stood there. The soft glow of hanging lights swayed gently between the palm trees, casting warm gold across the small cliffside clearing. Candles flickered along the length of the table, their flames dancing in the evening breeze. White flowers were scattered across the surface like small stars fallen from the sky. Beyond it all, the ocean stretched into darkness, waves crashing far below the cliff in a slow, steady rhythm. And in the middle of it— Alaric. Waiting. He looked different tonight. Not the sharp, intimidating businessman people saw across boardrooms. Not even the calm, controlled man who walked through construction sites issuing quiet instructions. Here, under the soft lights and the endless sky, he looked… relaxed. His sleeves were rolled up again, the top buttons of his shirt undone slightly. The wind moved gently through his dark hair as he watched me standing at the edge of the path. A small smile curved his mouth.

KIMANI Three days. That was how long we had been on the island. Three days that somehow felt both slow and impossibly full. By the second morning, the unfamiliar silence had stopped feeling strange. By the third, it felt normal—comforting even. I had learned the paths around the house, the hidden trails between palm trees, and the quiet corners where the ocean breeze felt strongest. The locals greeted me like an old friend now instead of a visitor. And Alaric… Alaric had actually relaxed. At least a little. He still woke up early out of habit, still occasionally checked in with Mateo about the construction site, but most of the time he stayed with me. We had gone out on the ocean together. That alone had surprised me. I didn’t expect the man who ran billion-dollar companies with iron precision to enjoy steering a boat across open water, but he did. Calmly, confidently, like he had been doing it his entire life. He taught me how to handle the wheel. I near

KIMANI “Did you explore?” Alaric’s voice cut gently through the quiet. I turned my head toward the sound, blinking as if I had been pulled out of a trance. He stood a few steps inside the living room, sunlight outlining his tall frame through the glass doors behind him. For a moment I just looked at him. He had taken off the blazer he wore earlier. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled neatly to his forearms now, and there was a faint trace of heat in his expression from being outside. “You’re back,” I said. “Yes.” I sat up slightly on the couch. “That was fast.” “I said an hour.” I glanced at the clock on the wall and lifted a brow. “Forty-eight minutes.” “I finished early.” That sounded exactly like him. He walked closer, stopping beside the couch. His gaze moved briefly toward the ocean view, then back to me. “So,” he said, “did you explore?” I shook my head lightly. “Not really.” His brow creased faintly. “No?” “I looked around the house a li

ALARIC The path from the house curved down the hill before splitting into two directions. One led toward the dock. The other led inland—toward the construction site. I took the inland path. The air was warmer away from the ocean breeze, the scent of salt gradually replaced by earth and tropical vegetation. Palm trees thinned out as the terrain shifted slightly higher, making room for the expanding structure of the hotel project. Even from a distance, the skeletal framework of the main building was visible. Steel beams. Scaffolding. Temporary lifts. Controlled chaos. Exactly the stage I preferred to inspect a project. A few workers noticed me approaching before I reached the main site. Conversations quieted slightly as word spread quickly through the crew. It always happened. Not because I demanded it. But because people tended to behave differently when the person funding the entire operation appeared unannounced. The site manager jogged over within seconds. “Mr. Vale.

KIMANIThe silence after Alaric left felt… different.Not empty.Just quieter than usual. Back home the mansion was always alive in one way or another especially the last few days that we spent together for Christmas and new year's eve—staff moving around, Ava bursting through doors without warning, Malik’s voice echoing from somewhere he definitely wasn’t supposed to be, Alex laughing like the world existed purely for his entertainment.Here?It was calm.Just the soft rush of waves brushing against the shore and the distant cry of seabirds gliding somewhere above the water.I leaned back in the chair for a moment, staring through the glass walls again.The sunlight had fully claimed the sky now. The ocean looked brighter than it had earlier, the surface shimmering like a field of moving diamonds.It was beautiful.Peaceful.Almost too peaceful.I pushed my chair back and stood up, curiosity pulling me toward the far side of the living area.If the bedroom upstairs had resembled ou

KIMANI The shower washed away the last trace of travel and fireworks and midnight chaos. Warm water cascaded over my skin while sunlight filtered faintly through the frosted glass panels of the bathroom. Even in here, the island insisted on being present—the air carried a soft hint of salt, and somewhere beyond the walls I could hear distant waves folding into shore. When I stepped out, wrapping myself in one of the thick white towels, I felt lighter. Reset. The dressing room was immaculate. My luggage had been unpacked with surgical precision. My clothes hung arranged by color. Shoes lined the lower shelves. Accessories laid out neatly in velvet compartments. And then there were additional pieces I didn’t remember packing. Linen sets. Flowing dresses. Light fabrics in soft earth tones and coastal blues. I stared at them. He hadn’t just planned a trip. He had curated an environment. I chose something simple and effortless—a loose ivory linen shirt tucked lightly into high-
