Oliver

My mother came down at six thirty in the morning and took in the scene in the kitchen without saying anything at all.

Colette and I were standing close together with coffee cups in our hands.

We were moving around each other with the kind of natural ease that came from having spent the night together.

From being completely comfortable in each other's presence without any self-consciousness or worry about what anyone would think.

I was making toast and she was pulling out jam from the r

    ColetteOliver was quiet for a moment before he spoke and when he finally did his voice was measured and careful like he was choosing every word deliberately."I spent ten years making myself into someone that nothing could touch," he said. "Because the alternative was ending up vulnerable and exposed and I decided a long time ago that I didn't want that for myself."Colette watched him from across the desk and said nothing because she could feel that he needed space to get through this without being interrupted."So I built the walls," he continued. "Higher and higher until they were so solid that no one could get through them. Not business rivals, not people who wanted things from me, not even my mother at some point. She tried for years and I just kept building the walls higher every time she got close.""What changed?" Colette asked quietly."Elijah," Oliver said simply. "Elijah broke through that wall completely. He didn't give me a choice about it. He was just there one day, thi

  • Five Years On The Run: The Billionaire's Secret Baby   QUESTIONS

    ColetteI went to Owen myself wearing meta ray ban glasses that recorded every conversation.I didn't go alone because I wasn't foolish enough to face him by myself. I brought Priya with me for backup and for witness. She sat in the car outside his house while I went in to confront him about what he'd done.When I got to his house he was almost leaving in a rush like he was running from something. I told him not to bother because his secret was out and I wasn't there to fight at all.He looked confused and scared and very small.I told him to sit down and he asked that Priya excuse us. I told him that Priya was staying and then I asked him directly why he'd stolen the file from my office.He didn't beat around the bush. He said he was approached by a masked man who threatened to kill his mother if he didn't do their bidding. In a nutshell the file he stole was one that anyone would search through in case they needed to find anything bad on me. Anything they could use against me.He'

  • Five Years On The Run: The Billionaire's Secret Baby   COUNTERATTACK

    OliverThe people behind that letter made a significant miscalculation that would ultimately prove to be their complete undoing.They assumed that six years later I would still have reasons to stay quiet about what happened to me. They assumed I would still care more about my privacy and my reputation and my desire to move forward than about ending this completely and permanently.They were very wrong about that assumption.I called my legal team at ten o'clock at night and told them to prepare for full litigation immediately. I was going after every person connected to that original scheme. Everyone who'd been directly involved and everyone who'd tried to profit from it since. Including the ones who'd managed to avoid prosecution the first time around when they'd thought they were clever enough to escape consequences.I'd been sitting on the ability to do this for years. Held back partly by wanting privacy and partly by not being ready to dredge all of it back up and relive the vi

  • Five Years On The Run: The Billionaire's Secret Baby   THREATS

    ColetteA law firm contacted me with a letter I wasn't expecting.It arrived on a Tuesday afternoon forwarded to the hotel through official channels. My hands actually shook when I opened the thick envelope because the return address was from a firm I didn't recognize but the content made my blood run cold immediately.It wasn't from Vivian because I knew very well that Vivian's legal problems had consumed her entirely. She was facing multiple serious charges and the prospect of significant prison time and the idea of mounting any kind of offensive against me wasn't even on her radar anymore.This was from a third party. A group claiming to represent the original investors who'd orchestrated the situation six years ago. The people who'd drugged Oliver and set the entire scheme in motion. Some of them were in prison. Some of them had somehow managed to avoid prosecution completely and had continued their lives as if nothing had happened.The letter claimed that because I'd left wit

    OliverMy mother came down at six thirty in the morning and took in the scene in the kitchen without saying anything at all.Colette and I were standing close together with coffee cups in our hands. We were moving around each other with the kind of natural ease that came from having spent the night together. From being completely comfortable in each other's presence without any self-consciousness or worry about what anyone would think.I was making toast and she was pulling out jam from the refrigerator and our movements fit together like we'd been doing this for years instead of just one night. Our shoulders brushed as we passed and neither of us moved away. Neither of us felt the need to create distance or pretend there was nothing between us.Renée looked at us both for approximately four seconds. She took in the way I looked at Colette when I thought she wasn't watching. She saw the way Colette smiled back at me with complete ease. She observed how we were together in this qui

  • Five Years On The Run: The Billionaire's Secret Baby   MORNING

    ColetteI woke up to sunlight and the weight of Oliver's arm still around me.For a moment I just lay there in the quiet morning trying to process that it was real. That we'd actually done what we'd been dancing around for months. That somewhere between the pottery studio and meeting his mother and solving the Owen problem together we'd stopped being careful and started being honest.Oliver stirred beside me and pulled me closer without fully waking up. I smiled against his chest and let myself just exist in this moment. In this bed. With this man who'd changed the trajectory of my life in more ways than I could count.Then there was a knock on the door and Renée's voice came through clearly."Oliver, I'm making breakfast. I assume Colette is in there with you which means the two of you should come downstairs before the children wake up and find that arrangement confusing."I felt Oliver's body shake with silent laughter beneath me."Coming," he called out.Renée's footsteps retrea
