Serena Vale~•~I didn’t see the photos until Thursday evening. I’d spent the whole day in my new office, sketching initial ideas for Grant Tech and interviewing potential hires. I hadn’t signed the contract yet, but I couldn’t stop myself from working on it. It was the first company that had offered me a valid contract. The rest were still in the talking stage.My phone had been on silent for hours. I’d learned to keep it that way if I wanted to get any work done. It made me wonder how celebrities were able to leave peacefully. I wasn’t even one yet my notifications went crazy every day since my relationship with Nikolai and Rafael got confirmed. When I finally picked it up, notifications flooded the screen.As usual.Except this time, it wasn’t just random people.I had several texts from Lila.[Lila: Are you okay? Call me][Lila (2): Serena, answer your phone before I conclude you’re dead in a ditch somewhere]There were missed calls from her. There were missed calls from my mom t

Nikolai Vetrov~•~I hated VM Global Holdings.Well, I didn’t hate the company itself, but I hated the old fuckers who were trying their best to make sure the joint project Rafael and I were working on failed just so they could prove that we worked better individually.Three calls fell through today. Two partners were suddenly reconsidering. Meanwhile, one of the shareholders politely insisted that keeping Moretti International and Vetrov Industries separate was healthier for the market.Code for profitable for them.I don’t care though. I was going to make sure the project was successful. It didn’t matter who was standing in my way.I dragged a hand down my face and stared at the ceiling, taking a much-needed drag of the cigarette in between my fingers. I hadn’t slept for more than four hours in days. Anytime I closed my eyes, my brain ran numbers, scenarios, and threats.And most especially, Serena.She spent most weekends with us. She didn’t spend the last one with us and I knew it

Serena Vale~•~The cafe Marcus chose was minimalist, overpriced, and only two blocks away from his company. While driving to the cafe, I saw the building. It was huge, clean, and had Grant Tech written at the top of it. I arrived fifteen minutes early and chose a table near the window. Then I ordered my coffee and waited for Marcus to arrive.He came in at 10:59am.He was wearing a suit that looked like it was made specifically for him. He smiled when he noticed me and walked over. I stood up to welcome him. “Mr. Grant, it’s good to see you again.”“Call me Marcus.” He chuckled and sat opposite me. “Can I refer to you as Serena?”I nodded. Of course. I preferred being on a first-name basis with my clients. “You’re right on time.”“I try to be.” He said, glancing at my coffee which I’d gotten just five minutes ago. “Already ordered?”I nodded. “Didn’t want to waste time,” I said, hoping he didn’t take offense to that. I always had a hard time making a decision whenever I went to eat
Claimed by the Obsessive Billionaires 141. Interrogating
Serena Vale~•~The first thing Rafael did when he walked into my office was look around like he was mentally calculating how much it would cost to improve it.The second thing he did was kiss me.Nikolai followed a second later, setting down three coffees and a box of pastries on the only flat surface available, which was currently the floor. He didn’t say anything at first. He didn’t kiss me. He just looked around. Took in the empty room. “This is good,” he said finally. “You chose well.”The praise did something warm to my chest.Rafael grinned, picking up a coffee cup from the floor and handing it to me. “You said furniture was coming today. Figured the CEO could use some manual labor.”“We brought extra screws, anchors, and paint touch-up. Whatever you need.” Nikolai said, bringing my attention to the toolbox in his hand.My heart did a stupid flip. They looked casual. They were in regular clothes that I’d seen them wear all the time, but it was different this time. Whenever the

Serena Vale~•~By Thursday, I still hadn’t responded to Marcus. My indecision started to feel less like a caution and more like fear. Fear of upsetting them. Fear of proving them right. Fear of choosing myself and dealing with whatever comes after.I hated feeling that way.Which was why as soon as I woke up that morning, I opened my laptop and forced myself to stop overthinking.I reread Marcus’s email one last time. Still professional. Still polite. Nothing that screamed trap even if I was actively looking for one.I drafted a reply.‘Re: Coffee and conversationMr. Grant Thank you for reaching out and for the kind words about my work. I’d be open to coffee next week. Feel free to suggest a day and time that works for you.Best,Serena.’I read it twice. Short. Neutral. No hidden implications. Then I hit send before I could talk myself out of it. Before the relief could properly settle in my bones, I heard a knock on the door. Lila opened the door before I could permit her to ent

Serena Vale~•~Lila was much more excited than I was to go office hunting. I wasn’t sure if she slept on the plane or not but she woke me up as soon as she came in with a large cup of coffee and a bag of donuts that were way too sweet to be healthy.I didn’t complain.I needed the distraction. I needed her presence. Tessa always wanted to come with me but she was stuck at some event.“You’re not doing this alone,” she announced like I had any plans on doing it alone in the first place. “I have strong opinions. I won’t let you start your empire in a depressing box.”“Get out, Lila,” I laughed. “Let me shower at least.”She reluctantly left the room, taking the coffee and doughnuts with her. I got in the bathroom, took the quickest shower known to man, and called the agent to let him know we were on our way. When we went downstairs, Lila took my keys and slid into the driver’s seat. I took the passenger's seat, taking a sip of my coffee.“Rule number one,” she said as she started the
