Chase's POV:

The way Veronica was behaving looked like a completely different person. A total stranger I didn't know before.

She was never this type. Never the one to talk back to me, never the one to challenge authority or stand her ground.

Certainly never the one who would look her father's disapproval in the face and say she didn't care anymore.

The Veronica I knew—the Veronica I'd spent over a year molding and controlling—would have crumbled at my threats.

She would have begged, pleaded, pro

This is the moment the truth detonates. 🔥 Veronica is all ready to expose the man who tried to break her. Power has shifted, masks have fallen, and Chase’s world begins to collapse. Thank you for standing with her in this defining moment.

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Look into my eyes

    Veronica's POV:"You cannot keep me in the dark forever," I said. "That is not a sustainable arrangement, Theo. You cannot make decisions about what I am and am not allowed to know about my own situation and then expect me to remain grateful.""Veronica, I need you to stop for a moment...""Don't do that.""You are spiraling... this is not good for your health.""I am not spiraling, I am responding rationally to information I should have been given months ago, and the fact that you are framing my response as spiraling is exactly what I am talking about." I pulled my hands back from his and gripped the armrests of my wheelchair instead."You are doing it right now. You are gaslighting me right now, in real time, while we are having a conversation about the fact that you have been doing it."Theo stood up from his knee and looked down at me."I came to you," I said. "I came to you and Max specifically because I believed you were different. I had a father who controlled every room I walk

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   The weight of the truth

    Veronica's POV:"Three years ago," he began, "Max and I were at an island party. Private house, small group, people we knew well.We were relaxed in a way we rarely get to be with low security, no formal obligations, just a few days of actual quiet." He paused."That is when we met the Ontario men. That is what they introduced themselves as... Ontario-based businessmen. Investors. The kind of people who turn up at those gatherings occasionally and blend in well enough that you don't immediately question their presence."I said nothing. I kept my hands in my lap and I listened."Max looked at them once and went back to his drink. You know how he is... he never likes buisness and he was pissed off that people were approaching us in times when were supposed to party. He just wanted to enjoy the weekend and ignore whatever pitch was coming."Theo's mouth pressed into a brief, flat line as he said. "But you know me.""You networked," I said."I networked," he said. "Every room I have ever

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   What you need to know

    Veronica's POV:The security guard at the manor gate was a man I had never seen before, which told me they had rotated the staff again.Max did that periodically... shuffled the faces so that no one on the outside could build a reliable pattern.Under normal circumstances I would have appreciated the thoroughness.Standing outside in the evening air in a wheelchair, with Diane hovering anxiously behind me and a surgical blade I had used as a threat still sitting in my coat pocket, I found it considerably less charming."What do you mean I'm not allowed inside?" I asked.The guard was young, broad-shouldered, and wearing the particular expression of someone who had been trained to be immovable and was determined to demonstrate that training regardless of who was standing in front of him. "Mr. Ashford doesn't allow visitors without a prior appointment, ma'am. I'll need to verify clearance before I can open the gate."I stared at him."I am Maximilian Ashford's fiancée," I said, and I li

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   The Alaska File

    Veronica's POV:The ambulance hadn't moved since Chase's men had boxed us in.The driver and the guard in the front seat were useless to me... as they were in front seat.Only Diane was with me. She sat pressed against the far door beside me, her hands folded in her lap, her eyes fixed straight ahead with the determined blankness of someone who had decided the best strategy was to become invisible.Which left me alone with Chase.I had not looked away from him since he'd finished speaking. I was not going to give him the satisfaction of looking away."You're wasting your time," I said."Am I?""Whatever you're about to say, Chase, I've already heard versions of it. I know how you work. I know how this goes." I kept my voice level on with him. "So say what you came to say and then get out of here."He studied me for a moment."What do you really think," he said, "that the Ashford brothers genuinely wanted to help a damsel in distress like you? That they just saw you, decided you needed

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Caged No More

    Veronica's POV:The ceiling of my room had become my entire world.I was done. Done being handled. Done being protected.Done being shut out like I was some fragile thing that would shatter the moment I stepped outside.“I’m going downstairs,” I said, gripping the armrest of my wheelchair as I looked at the nurse. “Take me to the elevator.”"Diane, bring the wheelchair."My nurse looked up from the medication tray in the corner, and I already saw the hesitation forming on her face before she'd even turned fully around.She was a kind woman... and I had nothing against her personally... but right now her kindness was standing directly between me and the elevator, and I had no patience left for it."Miss Veronica," she started carefully, "you really should be resting. Dr. Haines said your blood pressure has been low.""Bring. The wheelchair."She brought it. Slowly, reluctantly, the way someone does when they've already decided they're going to refuse the actual request but want to appe

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Covering him

    Max's POV:I stepped through the manor's front gates, my security men were running behind me in a half-moon formation.We'd been tracking the signal for twenty minutes... a stationary figure, standing just beyond the iron fence line, positioned with gun directly beneath Theo's window. The same window that had a fresh bullet hole in the glass an hour ago.And there he was.Chase Whitmore.He stood with his hands loose at his sides, looking almost bored... like a man waiting for a cab rather than someone who'd just fired a round into a billionaire's estate.He was dressed in all black, collar turned up, that infuriating half-smile already pulling at the corner of his mouth before I'd even opened mine.My six men surrounded him in seconds, closing the circle tight, and the flashlight beams crossing over his chest like a cage of light.He didn't flinch."Finally." I stopped three feet from him. "We catch you."Chase tilted his head slowly, the smile sharpening at the edges."Don't rejoice

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Anticipation

    Veronica's POV:"Yes," he said simply. "You can touch me."Then he reached down, grabbed the hem of his soaking tank top, and pulled it over his head in one smooth motion.I forgot how to breathe.It wasn't like I hadn't seen his bare torso before. I had. That day when I'd stumbled into his room, w

    Veronica's POV:"Well... you're really hard to understand," I confessed;Max only chuckled... that always did strange things to my insides.We took our seats at the table opposite each other, and I immediately noticed the imperfections—the table wobbled when I rested my elbows on it, the chair squea
