Claimed By The Billionaire At The Altar CHAPTER 104
KIMANI The hotel was bigger than I expected. That was the first thing that crossed my mind when the jeep rolled to a stop near the construction site. From the house, I had only seen glimpses of it in the distance—just shapes between palm trees and scaffolding. But standing here now, it was impossible to ignore how massive the place actually was. The structure rose several floors high, built in layers that curved gently toward the ocean. Wide balconies faced the sea, and glass panels reflected the sunlight so brightly it almost looked like water. Workers moved across the site, carrying materials, checking measurements, talking over machinery. Yet despite the activity, everything seemed organized. Controlled. Which made sense. This was Alaric’s project. He stepped out of the jeep first, walking around to open my door before I could even reach the handle. “You didn’t have to do that,” I said as I climbed out. “I know.” I looked up at the building again. “You built all this

KIMANI Alaric leading me somewhere on this island automatically made me suspicious. Not scared. Just suspicious. Because with him, “come with me” could mean anything from a quiet walk on the beach to discovering he had secretly built an entire village overnight. I slipped my hand into his as we stepped out of the house. The morning sun was warm but not harsh, and the ocean breeze carried the faint smell of salt and flowers. The island was alive now. Somewhere in the distance, I could hear boats moving and faint laughter from the local village. But Alaric wasn’t taking me in that direction. Instead, he led me down a narrow stone path that curved along the coastline. “Where are we going?” I asked. “You ask too many questions.” “I ask the correct number of questions when billionaires start walking mysteriously.” He glanced at me. “You married the billionaire.” “Which means I know the danger level.” He almost smiled. The path continued along the cliffside f

KIMANI That morning, I woke up before Alaric for once. Which almost never happened. The island was quiet, the early sunlight spilling softly through the glass walls of the house. The ocean looked calm today, gentle waves rolling against the shore like they were still half-asleep. I sat on the couch with a cup of tea, scrolling through my phone. And then I saw the picture. Ava had sent it in the group chat the night before, but I had fallen asleep before opening it. Now that I did, I burst out laughing. In the picture, Ava, Alex, Malik, Denise and Zendaya were sprawled all over the living room of Alaric’s mansion back home. Not sitting. Sprawled. One person on the couch, someone else on the floor, Malik lying upside down across the armchair like gravity no longer applied to him. Empty snack bags were everywhere. Blankets. Pillows. Someone had even dragged one of the decorative cushions from the study. It looked less like a luxury mansion and more like a college dorm a

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
