VENUS

The machines hummed, steady and cruel. Beep. Beep. Beep. Each one a reminder that Aaron was still alive—still tethered here, still mine. But God, he looked too still, too pale, his strength carved away by sterile white sheets and tubes that snaked like shackles around him.

I clutched his hand tighter, pressing my lips to his knuckles. They were cool against my mouth, but not cold—not lifeless. I let my tears soak into the sheets, my voice low, ragged.

“You hear me, Aaron Sinclair?” I whispered. “You don’t get to quit on me. Not after everything. Not after you tore apart hell to keep me breathing. You fight. You always fight. So fight now. For me. For them.”

My palm slid to my stomach, trembling over the curve that was just beginning to show. “For our babies.”

The room was dim except for the glow of monitors and the flickering television bolted into the corner above. It had been on since Connor wheeled me in, muted to a whisper of static light. Background noise. Nothing mor

    VENUS The machines hummed, steady and cruel. Beep. Beep. Beep. Each one a reminder that Aaron was still alive—still tethered here, still mine.

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 190

    VENUS The world swam back slowly, softer this time. No stabbing light. No sharp alarms. Just the quiet hum of machines and the faint rhythm of footsteps echoing down a hallway somewhere beyond my door. I blinked, my lashes fluttering against the weight of sleep. The ceiling came into focus—sterile white, a little cracked in the corner, as though time itself had chipped away at it. My chest rose, shaky, the air sharp in my lungs. Not Rosemary. Not Gianna. Not Colton. This time it was Connor. He sat slouched in a chair by the window, broad shoulders folded in on themselves, his hand scrubbing over his face. His tie was loose, his shirt wrinkled, his hair a dark mess like he’d been running his hands through it a hundred times. When he lifted his gaze and saw mine open, his whole body stilled. “Hey,” he said softly, his voice hoarse but steady. He pushed up from the chair, the weight of exhaustion clinging to him but not slowing him down. “Take it easy. Don’t rush it.” I swallowed

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 189

    ROSEMARY Two nights. That’s all it had taken for everything to unravel. Two nights ago, life had still been manageable. Fractured, yes. Messy, always. But we were together, still holding the illusion that the worst had passed. Now…? Now I was watching it all bleed into chaos, standing in a hospital where too many people I loved were fighting battles with their bodies, their minds, their ghosts. Venus sedated. Aaron on an operating table. Sabine in the trauma unit. Connor half out of his mind, trying to be everywhere at once. And me? I had to be strong for all of them. I said it in my head like a vow, but the truth was—it was cracking me. I sat forward on the hard plastic chair outside the OR, my elbows on my knees, fingers steepled like a prayer I wasn’t sure God was still listening to. My heart thudded in my throat, a dull, sick rhythm that refused to settle. I was worried for my son—my boy who thought he was too strong to die, too stubborn to yield. Worried for Venus, for th

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 188

    VENUS Light. Too much of it. It stabbed through my eyelids, slicing into the dark I’d been clinging to. My body felt heavy, foreign, like it belonged to someone else, every nerve humming as though I’d been rewired in my sleep. For a long, terrifying second, I couldn’t move. Couldn’t breathe. The world was muffled, distant beeping machines, hushed voices and the soft squeak of rubber soles on linoleum. Then it all rushed back in a violent surge. My eyes snapped open. White ceiling. A harsh fluorescent glow buzzing overhead. The sharp sting of antiseptic burned my nose, too clean, too sterile, too wrong. I sucked in a breath and the sound tore from my throat, jagged, desperate. Hands were on me instantly. “Venus. Hey, easy, easy,” a voice soothed, low and firm. Colton. His broad frame hovered near the bed, shadow cutting into the light. His eyes that were usually sharp with sarcasm were dark with worry. On the other side, Rosemary sat forward, her fingers brushing over mine. “Yo

    VENUS The world spun sideways when Aaron moved. One second Gerald’s smirk split the room like a knife; the next, Aaron was on him—a dark blur of violence tearing through the shadows. Their bodies collided with a sound that didn’t belong to men but to war itself: bone against bone, rage against rot. The crash echoed through the warehouse, rattling the single dangling bulb until its weak glow trembled across the filth-stained walls. I tried to push myself up, palms slipping against the cold concrete, but my body screamed in protest. My stomach throbbed, hot waves of pain pulsing outward like someone had lit a fire inside me. Still, I forced myself upright, pressing my back to a rusting pillar for support. My arms instinctively curled protectively over my belly, a shield that felt pitifully small against the storm unfolding before me. Aaron was relentless. A wolf unleashed. He drove Gerald back with a savagery that shook the air, fists finding flesh again and again. Each strike was mo

    AARON The phone in my fist might as well have been bone. Fragile. Breakable. Mocking me with the silence of its dead tracker. I stared at the black screen until my vision blurred, until all I saw was her face flicker across the dark glass like a ghost. “Sir?” One of my men hovered at the edge of the alley, voice careful, like I was a grenade with the pin already pulled. I lifted my head, jaw flexing. “Activate the contingency.” He blinked. “The—” “The ring,” I snapped, cutting him off before the tremor of hesitation drove me over the edge. “I want the signal now.” For a breath, the alley stilled. Then he barked into his comm, words spilling rapid-fire to the tech team. Somewhere in the city, servers hummed to life, lines of code unfurling like veins, reaching for the one lifeline I had left. The ring. I’d had it designed to be beautiful—something worthy of her hand, her yes—but inside, I’d slipped a safeguard. Not because I didn’t trust her. Because I didn’t trust the world. I
