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

    Nova-Kieran was dead.Oh God. Kieran was fucking dead! I couldn't stop staring at his body.Blood spread beneath him, dark and horrifying against the warehouse floor. My heart hammered so violently it hurt. Tears blurred my vision as my mind desperately tried to process what I'd just witnessed.Gabriel had killed him. Two shots. No hesitation. No remorse, and now...he was sitting across from me. I slowly lifted my eyes. Gabriel glanced over his shoulder at Kieran's body before looking back at me, his lips curling into a dark, sardonic smile.“Oh, don't worry about him. He wasn't exactly a decent quality of life...there won't be much of a loss.”He leaned closer.“Besides...I'm sure all those lower-class women will rejoice knowing he's dead.”My eyes darkened. He tilted his head before reaching toward my face. I flinched. Gabriel paused, then chuckled. Without warning, he ripped the tape from my mouth.“Ah!”Pain burned across my skin. For several seconds, neither of us spoke. My tear

  • Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection   Chapter 61: The Trouble With Elites.

    Third Person POV-“Kieran Sinclair…and Gabriel Castillo.”The names settled over the room like a bomb. Several agents exchanged stunned glances. Two of South-Bay's most prominent men.One, the heir to the Sinclair empire. The other, a renowned surgeon from one of the region's most influential medical families. Who also recently partnered WITH Moreau, and now, both were potential suspects in the abduction of Nova Moreau.Special Agent Darren Cole slowly lowered his notepad.“If you don't mind me asking, Mr. Moreau...what makes you think either of these men are involved? How long have you suspected them of this type of behavior?”“Recently,” Nicolai answered.Aaron stepped forward carrying a small case.“CEO Moreau became concerned about both men's behavior towards his wife which launched an investigation into the two men.”“Concerned how?”“Obsessed,” Nicolai said coldly. “Both of them.”And then, he told them everything. About the Lottery and how the Pierces deliberately placed Nova i

  • Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection   Chapter 60: Where is Nova?!

    Nicolai-Husband: How did it go?I stared at the message for a few seconds after sending it. The delivered mark quickly appearing followed by read. Still, no response.My brows lifted slightly. That was unusual.Nova normally responded almost immediately, especially when she knew I was waiting to hear from her. Then again, she was visiting Tanya, and considering their history, I imagined the conversation wasn't exactly simple.Maybe they were still talking. I placed my phone on my desk. Give her time. Just then, a knock sounded against my office door.“Come in.”Aaron stepped inside.“The board is ready. Everyone's in the conference room.”I glanced at my phone one last time...still nothing, I placed my phone back onto my desk and stood.“Alright.”Applause greeted me the second I entered the conference room causing me to stop in my steps.“What's all of this?”Several board members laughed.“Recognition, Moreau,” Charles Whitmore said, standing from his chair. “Something you should p

    Five Days Earlier…“Sir.”Gabriel didn’t answer.His assistant stood before his desk with shaking hands while documents lay scattered across the polished surface.Bank statements. Shell corporations. Overseas accounts. Shipping manifests. Names. Dates. Transactions...things that had taken Gabriel years to bury.Things no one was ever supposed to connect.Gabriel stared at everything with slight disbelief, but irritation was the emotion burning hottest beneath his skin.He knew eventually Moreau would investigate him. The bastard had been suspicious ever since the Summit...probably even before that. But this...Gabriel slowly lifted one of the documents.“How the hell did he find all of this out?”His voice was low, sneering...dangerous. His assistant swallowed.“I-I’m not sure, sir. Someone breached several of our firewalls. Whoever did it was extremely sophisticated. But…” He hesitated.Gabriel’s eyes lifted.“But what?”“It also looks like someone may have also given Moreau informati

    Nova-Nicolai slept peacefully beside me.One arm was wrapped securely around my waist, my back pressed against his chest while the city glittered beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. I should've been asleep. Instead, I stared into the darkness.Gabriel Castillo.Even thinking his name made my stomach twist. ***Hours earlier…“Gabriel supplied the drug.”I stared at Nicolai.“What?”Aaron sat across from us, a tablet resting in his hands.“The Rethynol used at the Gala,” Nicolai continued. “Brian Ashford got it from Gabriel.”My blood ran cold.“Wait...start over. Brian Ashford? Tanya's old boss? Why would he do that?”And that's when Aaron turned the tablet toward me. When he began to show me everything. Every transaction, message, photograph...everything.My eyes moved frantically across the screen. Information on Brian, on Gabriel...the Gala.“Oh my God…is that why he just so happened to be there with a medical bag?”“We think so. But that's not all.”My head snapped to Aaron. W

    Nova-“Nico…”His name escaped me on a breath as his lips moved slowly along my neck.The bedroom was nearly dark, illuminated only by the city lights spilling through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Somewhere far below us, South-Bay continued moving...cars, people, noise, life.But up here? There was only us. Nicolai’s hand slid around my waist, drawing me closer beneath the sheets as his lips found mine again.Slow. Deep. Loving.Nothing about tonight felt rushed. It wasn’t desperate passion or heated urgency. It was pure intimacy. His forehead rested against mine.“I love you,” he whispered.My heart squeezed. Even after everything, those words still affected me.“I love you too.”His fingers brushed gently through my curls before he kissed me again, and I melted against him. Being with Nicolai had taught me something I’d never understood before him. There was a difference between being wanted…and being cherished.He made me feel both.His hands traveled over me with familiar tendern
