VENUS

I woke up to stillness.

Not the sterile, whitewashed stillness you find in hospitals or hotel rooms. This was intimate. Chilling. Too deliberate. The kind of quiet that feels engineered. Like the room itself was holding its breath.

No Gerald.

The chair where he’d sat earlier was empty now, the cushion still slightly dented, the air still laced with the remnants of his cologne: bitter citrus and something darker underneath, like rot dressed in silk.

My head throbbed. The IV in my arm was g

I'm confused. How can the two powerful people be in a zero clue where Gerald had been taking her. Is Greald more powerful than Aaron and Ashton? Aaron said they have covered all CCTV and have eyes everywhere, can Greald dismantle all the cctv? That's impossible! Only the author can make it possibl

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    THE END

    AARONNine years.Nine years since we stood in Connor’s office and signed a contract that was supposed to last three.Three years of convenience.Of arrangement.Of mutually beneficial optics.That was the plan.No one planned for love.No one planned for twins with identical stubborn streaks and identical loyalty. No one planned for a third baby girl who believed cake was a human right. No one planned for betrayal, or fear, or a problem that would test the seams of everything we built.And yet here we were.Nine years later.Standing in the backyard of the house that once felt like a fortress.Now it just felt like home.There was no aisle.No elaborate décor.Just trimmed hedges, late-afternoon sunlight spilling gold across the grass, and the soft hum of life continuing beyond our walls.Venus stood across from me.Not dressed like a bride.Not dressed for spectacle.Just herself.Steady.That was the word that kept returning.Steady.My mother stood a few feet away, composed but em

    AARONThe news broke on a Tuesday morning.Not as a whisper.Not as speculation.But as a headline.ANDREA MARLOWE ARRESTED ON CHARGES OF KIDNAPPING, CONSPIRACY, AND UNLAWFUL SURVEILLANCE.By noon, every major outlet had picked it up. By evening, analysts were dissecting it like it was a corporate scandal instead of the unraveling of something far uglier.I stood in my office, the television muted, watching her face flash across the screen.Polished mugshot.Hair pulled back.Chin lifted.Defiant.Even in custody, she looked like she believed this was temporary.Venus sat on the couch across the room, silent, Iris curled against her side. The kids didn’t understand the full weight of what was happening, and I intended to keep it that way for as long as possible.Connor stepped into the doorway quietly.“It’s everywhere,” he said. “The board’s already calling.”“They’ll manage,” I replied.He studied me for a moment. “You going?”“Yes.”Venus looked up at that.“To see her?” she asked.

    AARON“About everything.”The words hung between us: fragile and unavoidable.Venus stood by the kitchen window, sunlight cutting across her face in soft afternoon lines. Outside, the kids were still playing—George pushing Sabine too high on the swing while pretending he wasn’t showing off, Iris watching with that careful half-smile she wore now.Two days.It had only been two days.And yet it felt like we had lived a lifetime in between.I leaned back against the counter, folding my arms loosely. Not defensive. Just steadying myself.She turned fully toward me.“Start talking,” she said quietly.There was no anger in her voice.Which somehow made it harder.I exhaled slowly.“Rick,” I began.Her expression shifted immediately—confusion first, then something sharper.“He was Andrea’s mole,” I said.She blinked. “Rick? That Rick? The one who—”“Yes.”The word tasted bitter.“He was feeding her information for months,” I continued. “Access codes. Schedules. Security rotations. She had l

    VENUSTwo days later, the house was loud again. Not the sharp, fractured noise of crisis. Not the low murmur of fear that had lived inside these walls for weeks. Real noise. Children arguing over cereal. Sabine laughing too loudly at something George insisted wasn’t funny. The faint hum of the television no one was actually watching. It should have felt normal. Instead, it felt fragile. Like glass glued back together—beautiful, functional… but still aware of the cracks. I stood in the kitchen doorway and watched them. Iris sat at the table between George and Sabine, a bowl of fruit untouched in front of her. Her fingers moved slowly over the edge of the table, tracing invisible lines. Sabine leaned against her shoulder more clingy than usual, as if proximity itself was reassurance. George sat straighter than he ever had before. Older. His eyes flicked toward Iris every few seconds, checking without making it obvious. When Sabine bumped her too hard reaching for t

    VENUSThe drive felt endless. Every red light stretched too long. Every turn felt wrong, as if the world had shifted slightly off its axis and nothing fit the way it used to. Aaron’s security didn’t speak much as they drove me to the house where Rosemary had taken George and Sabine after everything exploded. The silence wrapped around me like something heavy, pressing against my chest until breathing felt like work. I kept replaying Andrea’s last words in my head. This was never just about your daughter. The thought clung to me even as the gates opened and the car rolled into the driveway. Home. Or something that used to feel like it. The moment the door opened, small footsteps thundered across the living room. “Mommy!” Sabine reached me first. She launched herself into my arms so hard I nearly stumbled backward. I caught her instinctively, lifting her against my chest, breathing in the scent of her hair like oxygen. George followed right behind, trying to look c

    AARONThe sun was already high when I stepped out of the car.Afternoon light flooded the ridge road, bright and unforgiving, turning every detail too sharp to ignore. Dust hung in the air where tires had churned through the dirt, and the scent of hot asphalt mixed with the faint bitterness of gunpowder.Connor stood near a black SUV, arms crossed, posture rigid. Two men sat slumped against the hood in handcuffs, their eyes heavy and unfocused. A third was being lifted into an ambulance, paramedics working quickly around the blood soaking through his sleeve.Alive.All of them alive.Which meant Iris had been here.My pulse hit harder.I closed the distance between us quickly.“Why are we still standing here?” I demanded. “Why aren’t you already out looking for Colton and Iris?”Connor didn’t react to my tone. He rarely did.“We are,” he said evenly. “Search teams are moving through the ridge. I stayed back to brief you.”“And Gabby?” I asked. “Who the hell is Gabby?”Connor’s jaw tig

    AARONThe city lights smeared past my windshield like they were trying to outrun the clock.But nothing outran me.Not when Venus was missing.The silence in the car was maddening. The engine's purr, the subtle thrum of tires on asphalt, none of it soothed me. I wasn’t just driving. I was hunting.

    AARONThe city hummed beneath me, but all I could hear was the noise in my own head.That wasn’t normal.My mind usually operated like a machine structured, strategic and silent. But lately? It felt like a battlefield. Logic at war with emotion. Control strangling instinct. And always... her. Venus

    AARONThe tires shrieked as I pulled into the lot of Ashford Holdings’ secondary facility, a brutalist slab of cold steel and gray concrete. No logos. No windows. Just silence and intimidation. The kind of building designed to keep secrets locked in and souls locked out.I didn’t wait for clearance
