Chapter 27: Not Quite Right….

Nova-

More than two weeks had passed since the Gala, and I was now deep into wedding planning alongside Perra and Patrice.

As we sat in the bridal boutique waiting for my wedding dress fitting, my thoughts drifted back to that night.

Thankfully, Elizabeth Warner had made a full recovery. It turned out she reacted so violently to the drug because it contained almonds in its elixir. Drug dealers often mix in a compound called benzaldehyde to mask the bitter taste. It

  • Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection   Chapter 44: The Summit Announcement

    Kierian-BREAKING NEWS: Medical tech company OMNICORE Announces Global Medical Innovation Summit — Company to unveil revolutionary medical development! Summit set to begin in just three months!Three months.I stared at the headline glowing across my computer screen. Three fucking months. My pulse throbbed against my temples as I reread the article.OmniCore was hosting one of the largest medical innovation summits in the world. Executives. Physicians. Scientists. Government officials. Investors. Every powerful bastard with a stake in medicine and technology would be there.And apparently, Nicolai Moreau planned to reveal the newest development from OmniCore’s secretive medical research division.Nova’s Nano project.My jaw clenched. Of course it was. Everything eventually came back to Nova fucking Pierce. A woman my father had once practically placed into my hands.Now…she belonged to Moreau. And according to my father, I had exactly three months to fix that.My office door opened.“

    Nova-“So…are you ever going to tell me where we’re going?”I lowered my book and looked across the private jet at my husband.“No.”Nicolai stared at me as my lips curled.“You know,” he said as he inched closer towards my face. “I don’t think I’ve ever had someone tell me no before.”My smile grew.“Oh, I know.”And then…he did the cutest pout. It almost made me cave.“It’s my birthday.”“Exactly. Which means you’re supposed to sit there, look handsome, and let your wife spoil you.”One dark brow rose.“Well…that too will be a first.”“What will be another first?”“Being spoiled by someone other than my family.”My breath hitched as my heart beat. My husband no idea…I planned on spoiling him for the rest of my life.Over the past few months, the nano project had consumed nearly every waking moment of our lives. I spent twelve, sometimes fourteen hours at the new facility while Nicolai bounced between OmniCore, investors, hospital partners, and project development meetings.Neither o

  • Contracts of Desire: The Billionaire Romance Collection   Chapter 42: Ethan’s Turmoil.

    Ethan-I sat at my desk staring blankly at my computer screen. I was supposed to be drafting up a proposal to present to OmniCore. Because despite missing multiple opportunities between the Gala and their wedding, my boss was still hoping we could add them as a client.And somehow, the responsibility had landed right back in my lap.My jaw tightened.OmniCore.Nicolai fucking Moreau.I leaned back, rubbing both hands over my face. Weeks had passed since the wedding. Weeks since I'd sat there like a fucking idiot watching Nova walk down the aisle toward another man.Watching her smile at him. Kiss him. Promise herself to him. Like our years together had meant absolutely nothing. I scoffed and grabbed my phone.I shouldn't have…I knew I shouldn’t have. Still, my thumb opened Instamark almost automatically. Her profile was already in my recent searches.Nova Moreau.Even seeing the name pissed me off. She couldn’t wait to change her name to his.I clicked her profile. Nova stood on some

    Nicolai-The moment Claudia said his name, my hand instinctively curled into a fist.Castillo.Again.I wasn't a man who believed in coincidences. Not when it came to people. Not when it came to motives.This was the third time Gabriel Castillo had appeared in less than two months.The Gala.The wedding.Now this.Three appearances. Three opportunities. At this point, I was beyond convinced it was intentional. I watched from across the conference room as he greeted executives, shook hands, and exchanged polished smiles with members of my staff.Every movement was calculated. Every gesture precise. The perfect elite doctor. The perfect son. The perfect gentleman. And somehow, that made me trust him even less.Rosewood.The realization clicked into place almost instantly. Rosewood wasn't just the hospital. It was his mother's maiden name. The hospital belonged to his family.Which meant Rosewood Medical Center volunteering for the trials wasn't a coincidence either. Gabriel had arranged

    Nova-Over three weeks had passed since Nicolai and I became husband and wife.And honestly? It had been nothing but bliss. We'd spent our two-week honeymoon in West-Bay on a private island. An island Nicolai had purchased shortly before the wedding.An island he'd named after me.Even now, the memory could bring tears to my eyes.The flight from South-Bay to West-Bay had taken over sixteen hours, and by the time we'd boarded the ferry to our final destination, I was completely exhausted. I'd fallen asleep against Nicolai's shoulder sometime after sunset.The gentle tap of his hand against mine pulled me from sleep. I blinked several times before letting out a huge yawn and stretching my sore muscles.Nicolai chuckled."Sorry for waking you, my love, but we're almost here."Instantly awake, I sat up straighter. The ferry was moving through calm, moonlit waters, and in the distance stood what appeared to be a luxurious beach house illuminated by warm golden lights.My brows furrowed. T

    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
