Crying on his shoulders

Veronica's POV:

I was supposed to stay in the Ashford family’s Malibu beach house for seven days... hidden away, figuring out my entire life.

Seven days.

How ridiculous was that? How could anyone rebuild themselves in a week?

The thought felt absurd, and yet here I was.

I sighed, rubbing sunscreen along my arms before stepping barefoot onto the sand. The morning sun shimmered across the waves, golden and gentle, as if mocking how chaotic my life had become.

Far away, I was able to see a little girl, running around her father, building a sandcastle. My heart burned immediately at that sight.

While I'd been that little... things were simple. But now everything seemed difficult.

Right now, all I wanted was my father to love me. To look at me with pride instead of disappointment. To see that even though I was born a girl, I could do everything a man could—better, even. But I had no idea how to prove that.

And if I failed to impress my father... then I’d be forced to marry the man I hated.

This chapter broke my heart a little while writing it. 💔 Veronica has been running — from pain, from rejection, from her own reflection — and now it all broke out of her like a damn. What happened at the beach bar wasn’t just recklessness… it was her desperate cry to feel seen again. Theo’s arrival wasn’t just a rescue — 🌙 His calm presence, his quiet words — they gave her something she’s never really had: safety without judgement. 💬 Tell me, readers did you feel that moment when Theo held her?!

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   A secret buried for years

    Veronica's POV:"Veronica... Veronica... look at me."Max's voice revived me from the trance I was in. I blinked, feeling disoriented, the sound of waves suddenly louder, and closer.Cold water lapped against my neck.My breath hitched as I realized where I was. I was standing in the ocean, the water rising up to my throat, the shore far behind me. Too far from where I was. The sand beneath my feet felt unstable, shifting with each wave. My heart started pounding violently, reality crashing back into my consciousness like ice water.How did I come this far? When did I walk into the water?Before panic could fully take hold, strong arms wrapped around me from behind. In one swift motion, Max lifted me up. I barely had the time to gasp before he was carrying me back toward the shore.I dropped forward onto all fours, coughing violently, salt water spilling from my lungs... water I hadn't even realized I'd swallowed. My chest burned as I struggled to breathe, each inhale feeling like san

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   I always reach the edge

    Veronica's POV:'Love is not what you do... Love is what you are... Love never tests you... it embraces you...' I swear that I must have heard this quote somewhere on Instagram a while ago... now I totally understand the meaning of it.I dropped my phone onto the mat beside me and started walking toward the waves, my steps unsteady, dizziness washing over me as a memory from my past rose uninvited in my mind.Chase was standing across from me, fury blazing in his eyes. On the table beside me lay a neatly folded stack of laundry.“Do you have any idea what you just did?” he barked.I stared at him, stunned by his sudden anger. All I had done was wash his clothes and iron them—just like I always did. Usually, he barely noticed my effort. But I believed that, deep down, he felt loved because of my hard work. That belief had always kept me going.But this time, he was furious.“Look at this,” he snapped, holding up his limited-edition Rolex.My heart dropped. It was ruined. God… I must no

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Sabotaged

    Veronica's POV:I really didn't want to be separated from Theo's arms. I wanted to hear more of his Eastern philosophy knowledge, and lose myself again in the yogic lovemaking he'd shown me... but he'd had to leave when a client called."Duty before pleasure," he'd said with that apologetic smile that made my chest ache.Now it was twilight, and I was stretched out on a yoga mat on the beach, phone in hand, earbuds tucked in my ears playing some moody romantic playlist. In front of me, the waves rolled in with their eternal rhythm, and the vibe was pure and blissful.Just a while ago, I'd experienced something blissful with Theo... his hands, his words, the way he'd made me feel both worshiped and grounded. Now I was vibing in a different way, letting the ocean breeze cool my sun-warmed skin while the last rays of sunlight painted the sky in shades of coral and lavender.Despite that, my traitorous eyes drifted across the beach and immediately landed on Max. Of course, they did.He w

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Ultimate pleasure

    Veronica's POV:I assumed that Theo was done... when I felt his shudder, but even after that he began to move again, slow and deliberate... as if he hadn't just poured everything into me.How was he even doing this? Most men would collapse after that kind of release... but Theo was building me up again from the start, all while his green eyes locked on mine, dark with hunger, still was love in the way he looked at me. I clung to his shoulders, nails digging into the firm muscles there, feeling the heat of his skin under my palms.The desk edge was biting on me, but I barely noticed; all I could focus on was the way he filled me over and over, stretching me anew each time he bottomed out.Sweat beaded on his forehead, and was trickling down his temple... but his breathing stayed even. He almost looked like he was meditating... as if this 'love-making' was just another form of yoga for him.Twenty minutes?! It had to be more than that by now... but he showed no signs of tiring down. His

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Long Cherished desire

    Veronica's POV:“We’re going global…” I laughed breathlessly, staring at Theo like I still couldn’t quite believe it.“Our startup is going to start churning millions,” Theo smiled with quiet certainty. “For sure.”That did it!I laughed again... harder this time... so much that my sides started to ache. It wasn’t just happiness... it was the release of the seven days of fear, exhaustion, and self-doubt poured out of me all at once. My father was finally going to see me. Really see me. What I achieved now wasn't a favor, or a marriage alliance, or borrowed success. This was all my intelligence... and hard work.And Chase? He would be pained to see me this successful... and that would give me extra fulfillment. Probably, my father himself would kick him out.The thought made my laughter bubble up again, making me feel lighter like a feather.Then I turned to Theo, and suddenly I felt an overwhelming amount of gratitude. Whatever I am today, was because of his compassion.“You know,” I
