Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire Chapter 362
Madeline's POV I had been wrapped in a robe on the deck, holding a glass of wine I'd barely touched, when I heard the bungalow door open. The weight of my conversation with Olivia still pressed against my chest like a knot that refused to loosen, and no matter how paradisiacal this place was, nothing seemed capable of easing the feeling that I was living inside a bubble about to burst. That was when I heard familiar footsteps approaching. Apollo walked into the bungalow with a different energy—almost radiant. He was wearing a light white linen shirt that only emphasized the tan he'd gotten under the Maldivian sun that day, and there was a satisfied smile on his face that told me his meeting had gone well. "Aphrodite!" he called, heading toward me. "You won't believe what I saw when I—" He stopped short when he really looked at me. "Hey. What happened?" I tried to smile, but I knew I hadn't managed to hide my mood completely. "Nothing," I said with a shrug. "I was just out h

Madeline's POV Apollo had been gone for over an hour on a work call he'd promised would be quick, and since then I'd found myself sitting there, staring at the impeccably cleaned room, feeling his absence in a way that unsettled me. I shouldn't have missed him. We shouldn't have gotten to this point so fast. And yet, there was something about his presence that had already become familiar, and comforting even. The way he filled a room. The way he smiled when he saw me. The way he made even silence feel easy between us. I was lost in those thoughts when my phone vibrated on the nightstand, the sound irritatingly loud in the quiet bungalow. I walked over without much enthusiasm, expecting to see yet another call I'd been systematically ignoring since I ran from the wedding. My father. My mother. Vivian. Even Dominic, probably using different numbers, trying to convince me to come home and marry him. But when I looked at the screen, the name made me hesitate. Olivia. My cousi

Madeline's POV I woke up to sunlight streaming through the bungalow's massive glass windows. The sound of waves gently hitting the stilts blended with the distant call of birds, creating the perfect soundtrack for what felt like a dream. For a moment, I just lay there, taking in the view—the turquoise-blue ocean stretching endlessly toward the horizon, so clear I could see the sandy bottom even from this height. It was impossible not to feel like I'd woken up inside a postcard. When I finally got up and stepped onto the deck, I found Apollo already awake. He was wearing only swim trunks that highlighted his already unfair physique, sipping coffee at a table clearly set by room service. He looked completely at ease, reading something on his tablet and occasionally glancing at the scenery, as if waking up in a tropical paradise were just another ordinary morning. 'Who is this man?' I wondered as I watched him. He didn't just look comfortable in all that luxury. He looked like he

Madeline's POV I hadn't been able to fall back asleep after he went out to take the call. I pretended to be asleep when I heard his careful footsteps leaving the bed, but the truth was I stayed wide awake, listening to fragments of the conversation drifting in from the deck. I couldn't hear everything, but certain words reached me with unsettling clarity: "board," "family," "Matt," and, most of all, an excited female voice shouting something about a baby. Zoey. That was the name I caught. A woman named Zoey talking about first words, about "Daddy" and "Mommy." Lying there in the dark, it was impossible not to connect the dots in a way that made my stomach twist. A man taking calls in the middle of the night, talking about family, about a baby, with a woman who clearly had enough intimacy to call him at any hour. The conclusions felt almost too obvious. When he finally came back inside, trying to be quiet, I kept my eyes closed for a few seconds longer. But the tightness in my c

Marcus' POV The sound of my phone vibrating pulled me out of a deep, peaceful sleep. For a moment, I was completely disoriented. I couldn't remember where I was or why there was the constant sound of waves outside. Then it all came back. The Maldives. Aphrodite sleeping peacefully beside me. Our first night together in this tropical paradise. The surreal feeling of living someone else's honeymoon. I glanced at the digital clock on the nightstand, glowing softly in the dark. Three in the morning. Who the hell called at that hour? My first instinct was to ignore it, but when I saw the name on the screen, I knew I couldn't. It was Christian. I grabbed the phone quickly, doing everything I could not to wake Aphrodite. She looked so serene there, brown hair spread across the pillow like a soft frame around her face, her breathing slow and even. The moonlight slipping through the window lightly illuminated her delicate features, and for a moment I felt guilty for bringing the real wo

"Welcome to your honeymoon, Aphrodite," he whispered, and that rough voice which was already the soundtrack of my freedom sent a shiver down my spine despite the humid heat wrapping around us. He looked at me. Really looked at me. He must have seen the exhaustion written all over my face, the greasy hair, the travel-worn skin. "We need a shower. Now," he said, his voice low and urgent, and it wasn't just about getting clean. Without ceremony, his hands found the strap of my dress. He lifted the fabric, and I raised my arms without hesitation, letting him strip away that last layer of grime, and the memory of the journey. The dress fell onto the wooden floor. He was already pulling off his own shirt, and within seconds we were both naked, facing each other in that luxury bungalow that smelled like salt air and new beginnings. He took my hand and led me into the bathroom. The glass shower was spacious and modern. He turned on the water, adjusting the temperature until warm steam
