The Triangle Tightens

Veronica's POV:

I expected Theo to look at me with some hurt or even jealousy when Max and I walked through the door.

We'd been gone all night... staying at that cabin, doing things that still made my cheeks flush to think about... and surely Theo would have noticed.

But when Max strolled into the living room where Theo was working on his laptop, there was no tension. No awkward silence... or meaningful looks exchanged.

Max just high-fived his brother like they were college roommates. "What's u

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   The Bait

    Theo's POV:The nine year old Max found me in the corridor outside the sitting room.I had left the chess table and was standing near the window at the end of the hall with my forehead almost touching the cold glass, watching the garden below without seeing it, running the same calculation I had been running for the past twenty minutes which was whether it was possible to become good enough at chess between now and tomorrow morning to satisfy my father who had already decided what he was looking at when he looked at me.The answer I kept arriving at was no.I heard Max's footsteps before I heard his voice, which was always how it was with Max even at nine... he moved through spaces with an impact."Theo."I didn't turn around."I have an idea," he said."I don't want your ideas.""You want to go to Disneyland."I turned around.He was standing in the corridor with his hands in his pockets. There was nothing condescending in his face.That was the thing about Max that my father never f

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Not the Disneyland

    Theo's POV:My father's office had always been designed to make you feel small.I had never been able to determine whether this was intentional or whether he had chosen the height of the ceilings and the scale of the desk with the specific purpose of reducing whoever sat across from him.Either way, the effect was consistent.I had been walking into this room since I was old enough to walk, and I had never once left it feeling larger than when I entered.And today was not an exception."The shares are down fourteen percent," my father said, without looking up from the documents in front of him.He had a way of delivering devastating information in the tone of someone reading a grocery list, which I had once admired as composure and now recognized as pure cruelty. "The Meridian partnership has formally requested a review of our Q3 commitments. And the Donovan group, whom I personally introduced you to, Theo, personally, as a favor... are now considering withdrawing entirely."I stood o

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Maybe this is love

    Veronica’s POV:I stared at Theo for a long moment after asking him why I should forgive Max.And suddenly, something inside me felt exhausted.I was tired of constantly trying to understand two men who carried entire storms inside themselves. Tired of feeling pulled in different directions emotionally until I no longer recognized my own thoughts anymore.I looked at Theo standing in front of me, calm as always, unreadable in ways that made me want to scream sometimes.And for the first time, I wanted out."To hell with them. To hell with this entire triangle."I was done.Done trying to decode hidden feelings between us, or balancing myself between brothers who loved each other and somehow kept hurting each other through me.I opened my mouth, ready to say it.Ready to call everything off.But before I could, my phone rang.I glanced at the screen.Father.My brows furrowed slightly before I answered. “What?”“You sound irritated,” he said immediately.“Because I am.”“I spoke to Cha

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   You cheated on me

    Chase’s POV:The engagement announcement was everywhere.Every platform, business page, and gossip account.Every luxury media outlet obsessed with the Ashfords and the Whitmores.Veronica Whitmore engaged to Max Ashford.The headlines replayed in Chase’s mind like something designed specifically to torment him.He stared at the livestream clip again from his office screen, and his jaw was tight enough to hurt.Veronica stood beside Max smiling while reporters shouted questions at them. Max’s hand rested against her waist while flashes exploded around them.And Veronica smiled.“No,” he muttered under his breath.His hand slammed shut against the laptop. “No. No, absolutely not.”Veronica couldn’t really slip out of his hands. Not after everything he tried.And Max? That bastard didn’t deserve her.Without thinking further, Chase grabbed his keys and left.An hour later, he was walking into Mr. Whitmore’s office without waiting for permission.Veronica’s father barely looked up from t

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Face it as a trio

    Veronica's POV:I didn’t know what emotion hit me first when I saw them together. Because I was both confused and angry.The blonde woman still stood beside Max with a lazy smile on her lips, completely unbothered by the chaos she had caused. One of her manicured fingers was lightly touching his arm like she belonged there.Something burned in me at that.“Seriously, Max? This is what you’ve been doing?”Max looked horrified instantly. “Veronica, no...”But then my mind paused. And suddenly the bigger picture snapped into place.Chase. Of course. It was always Chase."Chase set this up," I said.Max blinked."Think about it," I said. "He was downstairs. He saw you come in, or he knew you were here, or he arranged for you to end up here... I don't know which one yet but I know it was one of them. And then he made sure we knew about the girl before we had any context for what we were walking into."I moved my wheelchair past Max and pushed back through the VIP lounge door, and the girl

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   Not what it looks like

    Max's POV:At some point, it stopped feeling like distraction with her.It started feeling very wrong.My mind wasn’t here anymore. It hadn’t been for a while.I pulled back this time, not because of a passing thought... but because I couldn’t just continue with her anymore.She noticed immediately. “What is it now?”I ran a hand through my hair, stepping back like I needed distance to think straight. “I can’t do this.”Her expression changed from confusion to mixing with irritation. “You couldn’t do this five minutes ago?”“I shouldn’t have done it then either.”She folded her arms slightly. “Okay… what changed?”I hesitated for a second, then said it plainly. “I have a fiancée.”That landed on her hard. She blinked at me, then let out a short, disbelieving breath. “You have a fiancée… and you’re here with me?”“I know how that sounds.”“No,” she said, shaking her head. “I want to hear how you explain it.”I looked away for a moment, and my jaw was tightening before I forced myself t

  • Desired by the Billionaire Brothers   The Truth Beneath the Mask

    Veronica's POV:I was marveled when Max took me inside a small motel.It wasn't fancy... nothing like the luxury hotels I was used to... nothing like the Ashford beach house with its floor-to-ceiling windows and designer furniture.But it was clean. Simple. A basic room with a bed, a worn couch, a s

    Max's POV:“You know what…” Veronica said, biting into another fry like it was forbidden fruit. “I’ve never had French fries as the first thing for breakfast.”I chuckled, leaning back in the booth like I owned the damn place. “Welcome to my paradise. Where there are no rules.”Her smile nearly und

  • 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
