Noah's POV

The morning light seeped through the curtains, cutting across the room where Adrian still slept, his body curled slightly toward my side of the bed. I should have been lying there with him, should have let myself get lost in the steady rhythm of his breathing, but my mind wasn’t letting me rest. The bullet with his name engraved on it was still sitting inside the evidence bag I placed in my drawer last night. Every time I closed my eyes, that image burned into me, a cruel reminder that Jasper hadn’t disappeared, not even for a second. He wanted me to know he was close. He wanted me to know he still had power over us.

I couldn’t let him have that power.

That was the thought that had me pacing before sunrise, tugging a shirt over my head, strapping on my holster like I was going to war. And maybe I was. Adrian shifted when I leaned down and brushed my lips over his hair, whispering that I’d be back soon. He murmured something in his sleep, the sound tugging at me, making i

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   CHAPTER 63: BACK TO REALITY.

    Noah's POV The moment we returned home from our shortened honeymoon, the world felt heavier. The silence of the apartment was comforting but also unnerving, like it was holding its breath with us. Adrian set our bags down, trying to smile, but I saw the shadow behind his eyes. We both knew we hadn’t come back early out of choice but necessity. Security threats had a way of shrinking happiness into something fragile. I didn’t want to admit how much it hurt to cut our time short. The honeymoon had been supposed to be ours, free of the world’s madness, yet the intrusion of danger found us anyway. The thought of Jasper’s hand behind it all gnawed at me. I’d seen too much of his tactics not to recognize the trail. Still, I kept my worry pressed beneath my ribs. Adrian deserved steadiness from me, not my spiraling thoughts. While Adrian unpacked, I moved through the apartment, checking cameras, double-checking sensors, reinforcing locks. The walls had always felt like home, but now I wan

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   CHAPTER 62: TROUBLE NEVER SLEEPS.

    Noah's POV The morning light streamed through the balcony doors, painting the room in soft gold. Adrian was still asleep, his chest rising and falling in a steady rhythm, one arm draped lazily over my waist as if he were claiming me even in his dreams. I wanted to stay like this forever, wrapped in his warmth, pretending the world outside didn’t exist. But the weight of last night’s note wouldn’t leave my mind. Its words haunted me, burning in the back of my skull like fire I couldn’t put out. Enjoy your happiness while you can. I slipped out of bed carefully, not wanting to wake him, and padded across the room to the small desk where I’d left the note. The paper was thin, folded with deliberate precision, as if whoever had written it wanted to remind me that threats could be elegant too. I stared at the letters, trying to steady my breathing. There was no signature, no clue, but everything about it reeked of Jasper. His obsession, his hatred, his inability to let go, this was exac

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   CHAPTER 61: HONEYMOON DREAMS.

    Noah's POV The world finally felt quiet. For the first time in what felt like forever, there was no shadow waiting at the edge of my vision, no storm rolling on the horizon. Just the hush of waves brushing the shore outside our balcony and the warmth of Adrian’s body stretched out beside mine. The honeymoon was exactly what we needed, though I doubted I would ever truly believe we were free of everything we had been through. Still, waking up with his arm slung across my waist, his breath tickling the back of my neck, gave me the illusion of safety, and I clung to it with everything I had. I shifted carefully, not wanting to wake him just yet. The morning sunlight spilled across the sheets, catching in his hair, turning strands into soft copper fire. He looked younger when he slept, stripped of the weight that usually pulled at his shoulders. I let myself stare for a while, memorizing the shape of his lips, the steady rise and fall of his chest, the small crease between his brows tha

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   CHAPTER 60: NEW BEGINNINGS.

    Noah's POV The sun spilled across the tarmac as we walked hand in hand toward the sleek jet Adrian had arranged. The warmth of the day seemed to match the glow in my chest. Everything about this moment, our fingers intertwined, the promise of days ahead with no interruptions, no threats hanging directly overhead, felt like a dream that had taken too long to reach. After everything we had endured, after every wound, every sleepless night, every brush with fear, we finally had this: time for ourselves. I glanced at Adrian, his sharp suit traded for something lighter, more casual, but still carrying that air of control he could never quite shed. He caught me staring, smiled, and tugged me closer, his lips brushing against my temple. “You’re staring again,” he teased. “I’ve earned the right,” I murmured, leaning into him as the engines hummed in preparation. The jet represented freedom, but the truer liberation was in knowing that, for once, survival was not the only thing dictating o

  • HIS BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET {MxM}   CHAPTER 59: LOVE WINS.

    Noah’s POV The reception hall shimmered with warmth, golden light spilling from chandeliers and catching the glimmer of crystal glasses set neatly on white linen. Laughter swelled like music itself, folding over the sound of the string quartet playing softly in the background. For the first time in a long time, I felt like we had truly survived. Not just lived through battles, not just clawed our way out of shadows, but survived in a way that gave us the right to celebrate, to breathe without fear clawing at the edges. I looked at Adrian. My husband. Even thinking the word made my chest expand as though my heart had outgrown its cage. He stood a few feet away, talking to his cousin with that easy confidence that only he carried, his hand never far from mine even when he was distracted. His dark suit fit him perfectly, but what really made him glow was the smile he wore, the one he used so rarely, the one that felt like it was meant only for me. Around us, our friends and family fil
