Chapter 241

Author: Kayla Sango
My feet carried me away from the terrace before I even realized what I was doing. Away from the stunned stares and the heavy silence Alexandra had left behind like a grenade. I found a side staircase at the back of the mansion that led down to the garden. A quiet corner far from the noise and the people. I sat on the cold marble step, the chill of the stone cutting through the heat of humiliation still burning in my face.

Tears threatened, but I forced them back. I wasn't giving Alexandra that satisfaction. I drew a slow breath and tried to steady the tremor in my hands, the tight ache in my chest from a mix of shame and anger.

"Annie!"

Zoey's voice echoed down the hallway. Worried. Determined. I heard her heels tapping against the marble as she searched for me.

"Annie, where are you?"

"Here," I answered, my voice thinner than I meant.

A few seconds later she appeared, her dress brushing around her legs as she moved toward me. The look on her face told me she wasn't just wo

  • Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire   Chapter 264

    My phone buzzed on the coffee table while I was finishing up straightening the apartment, still mentally trying to process everything that had happened the night before. The call with Wanderer had been… intense in a way I wasn't prepared for. Every time I remembered his voice, the things we'd shared over the phone, I felt a mix of excitement and nerves that completely threw me off balance. I picked up my phone and saw a message from him. It was the answer to my last question. My heart immediately sped up. [Maybe the mistake isn't trying to reconnect… maybe the real mistake is thinking fun and something serious can't exist together. Isn't that what makes everything worthwhile? Last night was incredibly fun… and I can't stop thinking about it. But I also can't stop imagining what it would be like to have you beside me every day, not just for fun.] I read the message three times, a smile tugging at my lips before I could stop it. Wanderer had a way of saying things that always caugh

    Nathaniel's POV "You talk like Annie doesn't have a choice," I said, leaning back in my chair to look him straight in the eye. Marcus paused, then leaned forward slightly, wearing that calculated smile that irritated me to the core. There was something about him that always suggested he thought he was three steps ahead of everyone else, like he was the only one who could see the whole board. "She has a choice," he said, adjusting his posture. "But it seems something is keeping her in London. Something that's making her hesitate about accepting an opportunity that's clearly better for her career." He leaned forward even more, studying my face with a sharp, probing gaze. It felt like he was dissecting every microexpression, searching for any flicker that might reveal what I really thought. "Would that something be you, Nathaniel?" The question dropped between us like a live bomb. I kept my expression neutral, but inside, it landed like a punch to the gut. "No," I said, tryi

    Nathaniel's POV I woke up with Annie's voice still echoing in my mind, fragments of last night replaying on a loop. The way she moaned, the breathy edges of her words, every teasing sound cycling through my head like a scratched record. No matter how hard I tried to focus on my morning routine—the shower, the coffee I made without even thinking—the weight of having crossed that line as Wanderer finally hit me full force. There was a huge difference between sending suggestive messages and actually having phone sex with her. It was an intimacy that changed everything, making the lie I was living feel even heavier. "How long can I actually keep this up before she figures it out?" I thought, stirring sugar into my coffee with robotic movements. "What am I going to do when she wants more… for real?" That's when my phone buzzed on the kitchen counter. This time it wasn't a notification from the app—it was a message sent directly to the number tied to the burner SIM I'd bought just fo

    Nathaniel's POVSo that was it. We were really going to do it. The realization hit me like a lightning bolt as I stared at the phone in my hand, still processing the tone of her voice, the way she'd said my name—well, my app nickname. Wanderer. There was something about the way she pronounced that nickname that made me feel like I was a different person, like I could be someone other than Nathaniel Carter, COO of Kensington, the man who'd been forced to remove her from the job.With Annie, as Wanderer, I could just be a man desiring a woman. No corporate complications, no hierarchies, no political games. It was liberating and terrifying at the same time."Maybe I should..." I replied. "I'm doing it now... And you? What are you doing?" An audible sigh crossed the line, heavy with tension."Maybe I'm... touching myself..." she confessed, and the sound of her irregular breathing made the air around me seem thicker.I felt as if time had stopped. Annie was really doing this, surre

    Nathaniel's P.O.V I got home at six in the evening, two hours earlier than usual, my mind boiling ever since I'd seen Annie's photo that morning. The entire day at the office had been torture. Every time I blinked, I saw those curves, the way the morning light caressed her skin, the silent invitation in that image that had made it completely impossible to focus on anything. I dropped my briefcase by the door and loosened my tie, feeling like it was strangling me. Her photo kept burning in the back of my mind, every detail etched with a clarity that made my whole body tense. It was like she knew exactly where to touch to completely disarm me, even from miles away. I went straight to the bathroom and turned the shower to cold. The icy water hitting my skin made me jolt, but it was exactly what I needed. I tried to let the cold wash away the heat that had followed me all day, tried to calm myself enough to think clearly about what was about to happen. But it was useless. Her image

    Nathaniel's POV The phone buzzed on the table, cutting into my review of the monthly report. A notification from the app lit up the screen, and my heart kicked up a notch when I saw it was a message from Annie. I opened it without hesitation. [Even on days when I don't feel like getting out of bed… I definitely do. And speaking of beds… mine was really comfortable this morning, and yours…?] There was an attached photo. I almost dropped my phone when the image finally loaded. Annie was lying on her side in bed, photographed from an angle that showed only her body—perfect curves highlighted by black lingerie that contrasted beautifully against her skin. The soft morning light spilled in through the window, creating shadows that made the whole thing even more intimate, even more tempting. The framing left out her face, but somehow that made the picture even sexier, more mysterious. My eyes tracked every detail: the gentle curve of her waist, how the panties hugged her hips j
