Aaron didn’t answer. Not with words, at least.

His silence was heavy, charged like the air before a storm. I could feel the weight of his gaze tracing over me, lingering on the places my mother’s presence had left me unsettled. My hands, still restless. My throat, tight with unspoken tension.

Then, without warning, he closed the distance between us.

One hand slid around the back of my neck, fingers tangling in my hair. The other gripped my waist, pulling me flush against him. His breath was warm against my lips, his body solid, unyielding.

I didn’t have time to think.

His mouth crashed into mine, rough and possessive. A kiss that wasn’t a question but a demand an answer to something I hadn’t even realized I’d been asking. My back hit the wall, the impact shuddering through me, but I barely felt it. All I could focus on was the heat of his tongue against mine, the way his hands moved over me like he was memorizing me, reclaiming me.

I gasped when his teeth grazed my

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 195

    VENUS The twins didn’t care that the world was broken. They didn’t care that their father wasn’t here, or that my chest felt carved out each time I looked at the space beside me and found it empty. They didn’t care that I still dreamed of monitors beeping, of Aaron’s stillness, of promises half-fulfilled. All they cared about was milk. Warmth. The comfort of a body that would hold them through the night. And I gave it. God, I gave everything I had. But it was never enough. Not when every cry pulled me in two directions—toward them, and toward the man who should have been here, who should have been the anchor I leaned on when the exhaustion hollowed me out. Rosemary was God sent. Gianna too. She stayed up with me and helped me all the time. She really was the mom I never had. The days blurred. Nights even worse. Feeding, burping, diapers, rocking, soothing—then again, and again, and again. My body had already been worn thin by pregnancy, but now it felt like something far cr

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 194

    VENUS The world has a cruel sense of timing. I’d spent weeks sitting at Aaron’s side, whispering to him, updating him on the pieces of our lives he couldn’t reach, begging him to come back. Weeks watching monitors and counting the seconds between the steady beeps. Weeks feeling the twins roll and stretch and kick inside me, a constant reminder that time was still moving even if he wasn’t. And then—when the day was the same as every other, when I was simply brushing my hand over his, murmuring his name into the sterile quiet—pain slammed into me like a lightning strike. It stole my breath. Made my vision blur. My hand clenched around his so tight that the monitor’s alarm beeped in protest. For one wild second, I thought it was just stress. Exhaustion. My body finally giving in to the weight of waiting. But then the pain pulsed again, sharper, heavier, low and insistent. My stomach tightened hard beneath my palm, and I knew. It was too soon. The twins weren’t supposed to be here

    VENUS The hospital had its own kind of rhythm. A cruel, predictable heartbeat. The steady hum of the machines. The shuffle of shoes against polished floors and the muted murmur of nurses at their stations, voices low but never warm enough to cut through the sterility. I hated it. I hated how everything here seemed to move forward—doctors filing charts, stretchers wheeling past, the world insisting on moving—while Aaron lay still, locked away in a silence he never would’ve tolerated if he had a choice. But I came anyway. Every day. Every night. Because even if the world moved forward without him, I refused to. So here I was again, curled up in the same chair I always claimed beside his bed, my hand wrapped around his like it was the last thread tethering me to sanity. The monitors blinked their endless messages of stability. Beep. Beep. Beep. His heart, his body, his pulse—all still fighting. And I clung to that sound, even as my own chest ached for something louder, something

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 192

    VENUS The world had teeth. That was the only way I could explain it. One bite at a time, it stripped away everything I thought was untouchable. First my safety. Then my family. Then Aaron—my anchor, my impossible, my everything—reduced to stillness on a bed that reeked of antiseptic and fear. And now? Now the empire that had seemed invincible, the Sinclair dynasty carved from money, intimidation, and secrets… was bleeding out across every headline. Caroline Sinclair and Gerald—names that once carried weight, power, menace—now dragged through courthouse steps in shackles. The media feasted. The cameras were merciless. Every station, every paper, every whispering mouth wanted the details. Wanted the rot exposed. And God, there was rot. Call logs, surveillance footage, financial trails. An empire decayed from within, its walls eaten hollow long before the collapse. The Caroline Sinclair and Gerald Marlowe weren’t royalty anymore. They were spectacle. I should have felt relief. Mayb

  • Contract Marriage With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 191

    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
