Nova-

I stared down at the glass in my hand, my fingers trembling slightly around its stem.

The thin residue clinging to the inside made one thing painfully clear—

Whatever had happened to Ms. Elizabeth hadn't been an accident.

Someone had deliberately laced her drink with a drug.

My stomach twisted.

This wasn't a random medical emergency. It wasn't bad luck.

Someone had planned this.

"Nova!"

The sound of Nicolai's voice pulled me from my thoughts.

I looked up just as he reached me, his eyes fi

  • Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection   Chapter 39: The Third Guy.

    Tanya-I paced back and forth across the living room, chewing on my nails as I pressed my cellphone to my ear."Answer your fucking phone, you prick."The call went to voicemail yet again. With a frustrated growl, I nearly hurled my phone across the room. Brian still wasn't answering. Several weeks had passed since the Gala, and I hadn't heard a single word from him.Not since that phone call.The memory still replayed in my head almost every day.The night of the Gala, my phone had rung in the early hours of the morning.Brian.The moment I answered, I knew something was wrong."Brian, what the hell are you doing calling me so goddamn late? I'm at home...""You stupid bitch! I fucking told you this whole thing was a bad idea!"I froze."What the hell?" I whispered, careful not to wake Ethan, who was asleep in our bedroom. "Why are you calling me now about this? We'll talk tomorrow and—""There's no talking! I should never have helped you! You're fired!"My jaw dropped."What?!"I cou

  • Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection   Chapter 38: A Honeymoon In Paradise.

    Nova-The wedding celebrations didn't finally wind down until after nine that evening.To most people, that probably seemed early. But after a day that had begun before sunrise and evolved into hours of ceremonies, photographs, speeches, dancing, and endless conversations, my husband and I were completely exhausted.By the time we made it back to our suite, all I wanted was to get out of my wedding dress and sink into a long, hot bath.The moment I kicked off my shoes, I let out a groan of relief. A low chuckle rumbled from across the room."Anxious to undress, are we?"I glanced up to find Nicolai leaning against the door, amusement dancing across his handsome face.A laugh escaped me."You have absolutely no idea what it's like wearing something like this for hours."His grin widened as he slowly pushed away from the door."Fair point, Mrs. Moreau."The words instantly sent warmth rushing through me.Mrs. Moreau.Even now, hearing it felt surreal. It wasn't just a name. It was a pro

  • Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection   Chapter 37: The Reception.

    Nova-The rest of the ceremony passed in a blur, like a series of movie reels flickering before my eyes.I was there physically. Smiling. Laughing. Holding conversations.Mentally?All I could think about was Nicolai eagerly wanting to take me out of my wedding dress. Every time I remembered the way he'd whispered in my ear after our vows, my cheeks warmed all over again.God.I was a married woman now, and somehow my thoughts were getting worse.“Alright, alright!”Chloe's voice pulled me from my very inappropriate train of thought.I blinked, realizing we were seated at the bridal table while everyone settled in with their dinners.By now, Nicolai and I had already shared our first dance beneath the glittering chandeliers. Patrice had openly cried during her speech, Perra had threatened anyone who made her cry next, and half the room had somehow been reduced to tears at least once.The reception hall buzzed with laughter and conversation, the sound of clinking glasses filling the ai

  • Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection   Chapter 36: The Wedding (Finale).

    Nicolai-The night before the wedding, I found myself staring at my bride-to-be as she slept.Her lips were slightly parted. Her breathing was soft and even. Her brows occasionally scrunched together as though she were dreaming about something fascinating.I found myself hoping that fascinating dream was about me.God.I couldn't believe what I'd become. Just a few months ago, I had been one of the most calculating businessmen in the world.Now?Now I was a lovesick fool. And she was entirely to blame.I was the kind of man who found himself daydreaming about his woman in the middle of board meetings.The kind of man who saw a necklace in a display case and immediately wondered how it would look resting against her skin.The kind of man whose entire day improved the second her name appeared on his phone.The kind of man who randomly opened his photo gallery just to look at her.I had hundreds of pictures.Nova smiling. Nova cooking. Nova singing. Nova laughing. I even had photos of he

    Nova-We remained silent for what felt like an eternity before she finally spoke.“Well... you look lovely. No denying that.”A scoff escaped me as I rolled my eyes.“What are you doing here, Mrs. Pierce?”She froze.Her eyes widened ever so slightly before darkening.“Mrs. Pierce?” she repeated. “Is that how you're greeting your own mother now? Tch. A few weeks with these people and you already think you're better than us.”A humorless laugh left my lips.“Mrs. Pierce, the Moreaus aren't why I'm addressing you this way.”Slowly, I rose from my chair.“When have you ever been a mother to me? Honestly... I should've stopped calling you that the day I moved out.”Her breath caught.I watched her fingers curl into a fist. Her eyes reddened, not with sadness, but with anger. As though my audacity to speak the truth offended her.Then something changed. The fury vanished from her face so suddenly it almost seemed unnatural. Her gaze flickered toward the door for a split second, as if she'd

  • Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection   Chapter 34: The Wedding (Part 7-The Ceremony One)

    Nova-I woke up just after nine the next morning with a dull ache behind my eyes.Yep.I had definitely drunk too much last night.Since neither Nicolai and I had wanted separate bachelor and bachelorette parties, we’d decided to celebrate together with a pre-wedding karaoke night.And celebrate we did.There had been singing, ridiculous challenges, nonstop laughter, and enough alcohol to keep an entire wedding party entertained for a week.Most of my friends had stayed the night, along with several of Perra’s and Nicolai’s closest friends and cousins.The whole thing had been absolute chaos.Wonderful chaos.“I didn’t know she could actually sing!”Jamie had shouted when I started belting out a popular R&B song.“Wait a damn minute, Nova!” Perra yelled. “You can sing?”“Yesss! My Honey-Bee is the best!”Chloe’s enthusiastic cheering had only made everyone laugh harder. The entire evening felt unforgettable. In fact, I wasn’t even sure how I’d made it back to my room.The last thing I
