KIMANI

It started subtly.

At first, I thought I was imagining it—the way Alaric’s eyes would linger a little too long when I spoke, the quiet glances I’d catch when he thought I wasn’t looking. But over the past few days, those fleeting moments had grown frequent enough to make my pulse skip in the most inconvenient ways.

Every time we were in the same room, it felt like there was an invisible thread pulling my attention toward him. Whether we were reading after dinner or crossing paths in t

  • Claimed By The Billionaire At The Altar    EXTRA: FINALE

    Hospitals had a way of making everything feel still. Too still. Like the world outside had been paused, waiting for something important to finish before it could start again. Inside Kimani’s room, however, there was no such thing as stillness. There was life. Three tiny, soft, unpredictable lives. And Kimani couldn’t stop staring. “They’re real,” she whispered, almost to herself. Alaric, seated beside her bed, followed her gaze to the bassinets lined neatly beside her. Three of them. Side by side. Each one holding a piece of them. “They are,” he said quietly. Kimani exhaled slowly, her hand resting gently over the closest one. “They were inside me.” Alaric raised a brow. “Yes. That is typically how that works.” She shot him a look. “Don’t ruin my moment.” “I’m not ruining it,” he said, completely unbothered. “I’m grounding it.” She huffed softly, but her lips curved. Her attention drifted back to the babies. “They’re so small,” she murmured

    Labor did not begin the way Kimani expected. There was no dramatic scream in the middle of the night. No sudden rush of panic. It started… annoyingly. “Alaric.” He didn’t look up immediately, still focused on the document in his hand. “Hmm?” “Alaric.” Something in her tone made him pause. He slowly lifted his head. Kimani was standing in the middle of the room, one hand on her lower back, the other resting protectively over her stomach. Her expression was… off. Not pain. Not yet. But something close. “What is it?” he asked, already standing. “I think…” she hesitated, brows furrowing slightly. “I think something’s happening.” Alaric was beside her in an instant. “What kind of ‘something’?” he asked carefully. Kimani opened her mouth— Then froze. Her grip tightened on his arm. “…Okay,” she whispered. “That… hurt.” Alaric’s entire body went still. “How bad?” he asked. She exhaled slowly, eyes closing. “Not… terrible,” she said. “Just… weird.” A beat. Then ano

    Peace in Alaric’s house never lasted long. Kimani had just started enjoying one of those rare, quiet afternoons—the kind where everything felt still, calm, and manageable. She was curled up on the couch, a bowl of cut fruits beside her (which she had insisted must include mangoes, strawberries, and—strangely—pickles), scrolling through her phone. Alaric sat nearby, working, though his attention shifted to her every few minutes like it had become second nature. Everything was calm. Suspiciously calm. Which meant— The door burst open. “WE’RE HERE!” Kimani didn’t even flinch. She just closed her eyes. “…I spoke too soon.” Alaric didn’t look up immediately, but the tightness in his jaw said everything. Ava walked in first, full of energy, sunglasses perched dramatically on her head like she had just returned from a red carpet event instead of… wherever she actually came from. Behind her, Alex strolled in like he owned the place, hands in his pockets, completely unbothered.

    Bonus Chapter 1 Three Heartbeats Pregnancy, Kimani quickly discovered, was not the soft, glowing, effortlessly beautiful experience people loved to romanticize. It was chaos. Glorious, emotional, unpredictable chaos. And Alaric… was in the middle of it. --- It started small. At least, that’s what Kimani told herself. One minute, she was perfectly fine—calm, composed, enjoying her morning. The next? “I want mangoes.” Alaric looked up from his tablet. “Mangoes?” he repeated. “Yes.” “At eight in the morning?” “Yes.” He studied her face carefully. “You don’t even like mangoes that much.” “I do now.” Alaric leaned back slowly. “Noted.” Ten minutes later, he was on the phone. “Get me fresh mangoes,” he said calmly. “Not store-bought. I want them ripe, organic, and perfect. If they’re not perfect, don’t bother coming back.” Kimani blinked at him. “You’re threatening someone over mangoes?” “I’m ensuring quality,” he corrected. She stared at him for a moment. Then sm

  • Claimed By The Billionaire At The Altar    CHAPTER 110

    THIRD PERSON'S POV Months Later The city glittered beneath them, alive with its usual restless energy—but inside the penthouse, time felt slower. Softer. It had been months since the island. Months since golden sunsets, salt-kissed air, and quiet mornings where the world felt distant and unimportant. Life had returned to its usual rhythm—meetings, schedules, responsibilities—but something had shifted. Something permanent. Kimani stood in front of the mirror, smoothing down the fabric of her dress for what felt like the hundredth time. It was simple, elegant, and soft against her skin—nothing too dramatic, but enough to make tonight feel special. Because it was. She smiled faintly at her reflection. “Relax,” she whispered to herself. “It’s just dinner.” But it wasn’t just dinner. It was their anniversary. One year since everything had changed. One year since a wedding that wasn’t supposed to happen had turned into the beginning of something neither of them could live wit

    THIRD PERSON'S POV The moment the jet touched down, reality returned with it. The soft, dreamlike calm of the island faded as the tires met the runway with a firm, grounding thud. The gentle hush of waves and warm ocean air was replaced by the structured efficiency of the city—sharp, fast, unapologetically alive. Kimani felt it instantly. She sat still for a moment after landing, her fingers loosely intertwined with Alaric’s, her mind caught somewhere between the island they had just left behind and the life waiting ahead. Alaric glanced at her, already reading her thoughts. “Don’t tell me you’re already missing it,” he murmured, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. Kimani turned to him slowly. “Already?” she echoed. “Alaric, I started missing it the moment the plane took off.” He huffed a quiet laugh, bringing her hand to his lips and pressing a brief kiss against her knuckles. “Dangerous,” he said. “You’re getting sentimental again.” “And you’re not?” she challenged. He did

    ALARIC'S POVI walked Kimani up to her room, my hand still brushing lightly against hers. I didn’t want to let go. Every step we took along the quiet hallway felt like an echo of what had just happened — that perfect evening by the lake, her soft laughter, the way her eyes lit up when she saw the r

    Kimani’s POVBy the time our department meeting ended, I felt like my brain had melted into mush. My supervisor had spent thirty minutes explaining something that could’ve easily been summarized in two PowerPoint slides, and half the room had either zoned out or silently prayed for escape. I was o

    Alaric’s POV I arrived at the office that morning feeling unusually light. It wasn’t the kind of I just closed a big deal satisfaction I was used to. No, it was something softer, quieter—a warmth that sat deep in my chest and refused to fade. Kimani had that effect on me. The memory of kissin

    Kimani Monday mornings have never been my favorite, but today was on a whole new level of I don’t want to do this. The thought of stepping into the office, pretending to care about reports and endless chatter after the weekend I’d had—it felt almost cruel. My mind kept replaying the image of Alar
