Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection Chapter 54: The Baby Is Coming!
Nova-It was just after three in the morning when we got the call.Even through my sleepy haze, I could hear Nate practically panicking through Nicolai's phone.“Nico! This is it! Jess is going into labor! The baby is coming!”My eyes flew open as Nicolai shot upright beside me.“Holy shit!” Sleep vanished from his voice instantly. “Are you both on your way to the hospital?”I scrambled out of bed while Nate continued talking so quickly I could barely understand him through the speaker.“Yes! We're in the car now. Mom and Dad are meeting us there. Her parents are coming. Everybody's coming. Fuck, Nico, she's having contractions like every—Jess, baby, breathe! Just breathe!”“Breath.” Nicolai said. His tone calm.“She is breathing!”“I was talking to you.”“Oh.”Despite everything, I laughed.“Listen to me,” Nicolai said, climbing from the bed. “You're almost there. Jessica is fine. You're fine. The baby's fine. Stop panicking before you make her panic.”“I'M NOT PANICKING!”Jessica sc

Nicolai-I took the stage again to thunderous applause. Yet my mind was somewhere else entirely. Gabriel Castillo and Kieran Sinclair locked in a multibillion-dollar partnership.Why?I smiled as I approached the microphone, slipping effortlessly back into the polished expression expected from Nicolai Moreau, CEO of OmniCore.Inside, however, confusion twisted through my thoughts. Gabriel hated Sinclair. At least, I thought he did. I'd caught him on several occasions speaking poorly of him. So why the hell would he broker a deal with him?I pushed the question aside...for now.“Once again,” I began, “I would like to thank Rosewood Medical Center, Dr. Castillo, our medical advisory teams, OmniCore’s engineering divisions, and every researcher who dedicated countless hours to bringing NMT to this stage.”Applause followed as I glanced toward Nova. My wife was already emotional. Perfect; because she was about to become even more emotional.“And now,” I continued, “rather than simply tell
Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection Chapter 52: Gabriel Castillo.
Gabriel Castillo had always been a good man.At least, that was what everyone believed.During his final year at Lexington University, his name carried almost as much weight as the Castillo family itself. He was brilliant. Handsome. Patient. Charitable.The future heir to one of the most prominent hospital and medical-clinic chains in the world. Professors adored him. Women desired him. Parents wanted their daughters to marry him.And the lower classes? They practically worshipped him.Gabriel volunteered at free clinics. Donated money to scholarship funds. Smiled warmly at janitors. Remembered nurses' names. He listened patiently whenever nervous students approached him for advice.To the world, Gabriel Castillo was everything an Elite should be. Kind. Compassionate. Generous. Humble. It was a beautiful mask. Because Gabriel Castillo was none of those things.Not really.He had been raised to understand one fundamental truth. There were levels to humanity. And the Castillos existed n

Kieran—“Tonight isn't simply about introducing a new piece of technology.”Nicolai Moreau's voice carried effortlessly through the conference hall.The entire room had gone silent.Hundreds of people.Executives. Physicians. Researchers. Investors. Politicians. Elites who rarely shut the hell up long enough to listen to anyone but themselves.Yet Moreau had their complete attention. I stood near the side of the hall, one hand tucked into my pocket as I watched him.Behind him, the massive screens displayed the Nano Medical Technology logo.“NMT began with a question,” Nicolai continued. “What if technology didn't simply assist surgeons? What if it could provide a level of precision the human hand could never achieve alone?”Several people leaned forward.“What if procedures that once required major surgical intervention could one day be completed through technology capable of targeting the problem at its source?”He paused.“That question became a theory. The theory became research.

Nova-“Nicolai…”His name left my lips on a breath as his mouth traveled slowly along the curve of my neck.My eyes fluttered closed.There were nights when Nicolai loved me desperately—when months of longing, possession, fear, and devotion seemed to pour from him all at once.Tonight was one of those nights.His lips returned to mine, capturing them in a deep kiss as his hand settled against my waist, pulling me closer until there was barely space left between us.“I love you,” he whispered against my mouth.The words sent warmth through my entire body.“I love you too.”His forehead pressed against mine.“Say it again.”He demanded as he thrust into me. My fingers slipped into his dark hair.“I love you, Nicolai.”His eyes closed for half a second as though he needed to absorb the words. When they opened again, the intensity in them stole my breath.“You have no idea what you do to me.”My breath was ragged as we continued our pace. My lips curled into a breathless smile.“Yes I do.
Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection Chapter 49: A Shotgun Wedding.
Nova—If someone had told me six months ago that I would willingly attend my sister’s wedding to my ex-fiancé, I probably would have laughed in their face.Actually, no...I probably would have cried. Then laughed. Then cried again. Yet, as Nicolai and I stepped into the grand wedding hall, his hand resting securely against the curve of my waist, I felt…nothing.Well, not nothing.The ballroom was beautiful. White roses cascaded from towering arrangements. Gold ribbons draped elegantly over the chairs, crystal chandeliers shimmered overhead, and a massive floral arch framed the altar.My mother had clearly spared no expense. Of course she hadn’t. This was Tanya’s wedding. Her perfect daughter marrying the man who had once promised to marry me. I glanced around slowly and realized I felt no anger. No resentment…and most of all, no ache.A smile slowly spread across my face. Holy shit...I really didn’t care anymore. Nicolai’s fingers tightened around my waist. I looked up. His eyes were
