Christian's POV

Zoey kept her gaze fixed on her hands for a few seconds, as if gathering courage. Finally, she lifted her eyes to meet mine.

"I think so," she whispered, moving toward the bathroom. "You're right. We need to know."

I picked up the test from the counter, glancing over the instructions printed on the box. It looked simple enough. I handed it to her, then stepped back toward the door.

"I'll wait outside," I offered, assuming she'd want privacy.

"No." Her response was quick, almost desperate. "I mean... I'd rather you stay. If you don't mind."

The vulnerability in her eyes caught me off guard.

"Of course." I tried to sound casual, as if watching my marriage-of-convenience wife take a pregnancy test was the most normal thing in the world. "I'll stay."

I turned my back while she used the test, granting at least that small concession to her privacy. The silence in the bathroom was oppressive, broken only by the sound of our breathing and the ticking of the watc

  • Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire   Chapter 115

    I stopped in front of my apartment door, the keys jingling as I tried to find the right one on the ring. Two days in the Highridge Valley had left me emotionally drained. All I wanted now was a long, hot shower and to collapse in my own bed. That's when I noticed the package sitting by the door. A wooden box with the Sunvale logo engraved on the lid. "This arrived for you earlier today," the doorman said as he appeared in the hallway, carrying my suitcase. "Thanks." I set the wine box down on the coffee table, pulled out the attached note, and sank onto the couch for a moment. Inside the small envelope was a crisp white card with gold embossed letters—the kind of stationery that practically screamed expensive. [To our most valued collaborator, A small token of appreciation for all your contributions. Your role has been essential. Edward Mendez,Director – Sunvale Winery.] I frowned, reading the message several times. Contributions? What contributions? I'd left Sunvale m

    Christian's POV I watched the ruby liquid swirl in the crystal glass as my grandfather poured one of the rarest wines from the cellar. I could hardly believe he'd opened the last bottle, but then again, it was a special day. The cellar was quiet, broken only by the faint clink of crystal and the gentle glug of wine being poured. The party was still going strong upstairs, but down here, time seemed to move at a different pace. "A toast to the new official head of Kensington," Grandpa said, raising his glass with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, as if he could see straight through the calm façade I was trying to maintain. We clinked glasses lightly, and I took a sip, letting the complex flavor spread across my tongue. But I couldn't really taste it. My mind was elsewhere. With someone else. "You seem distant for a man who just inherited the kingdom," Grandpa remarked, settling heavily into the old leather chair. I exhaled a short breath, my fingers absently tracing the

    Annie's face turned into a mask of confusion, her brows furrowed as she tried to process my words. "I'm still not following." She crossed her arms. "If you are pregnant, that would explain the nausea, the mood swings, but what does that have to do with not telling Christian you love him?" I wiped my tears with the back of my hands, aware that my makeup was probably a disaster by now. "Did you forget Christian doesn't want to be a father?" My voice was barely a whisper. "He never did. He made that perfectly clear." "But..." "And earlier, at the overlook, before we..." I gestured vaguely, encompassing everything that had happened. "Before we got distracted, we were talking about how the contract doesn't make sense anymore now that Joseph admitted he always knew." Annie blinked several times, trying to catch up. "I'm lost." "He's going to think the pregnancy thing is just my way of trapping him." The words came out bitter, painful. "Now that there's no contract, no reason

    The three words hung in the night air, simple and devastating. I froze in Christian's arms, my body suddenly still, as if any movement might break the fragile spell of that suspended moment. He noticed my hesitation, his body tensing against mine. I felt his breath catch, waiting for an answer my throat refused to form. The words were there, pressing against my chest, begging to be set free. I loved him. Of course I did. How could I not? And yet, an inexplicable fear kept me silent—as if speaking that truth aloud would somehow make it more real, more dangerous. Instead of words, I offered action. I lifted my face and caught his lips in a kiss, trying to pour into it everything I couldn't say. My hands framed his face, my fingers tracing the line of his jaw as if trying to memorize every contour. Christian kissed me back immediately, his arms tightening around me, but I felt the subtle shift—a silent question, an almost imperceptible hesitation. When we finally pulled apart, his

    "I don't know what to do," Christian repeated, his eyes locked on mine, that raw vulnerability in his gaze almost painful to witness. "What do you want to do, Zoey?" The question hung between us for only a heartbeat before the answer crystallized in my mind. A familiar heat spread through me, a primal need overriding hesitation or doubt. A slow, deliberately provocative smile curved my lips. Without answering, I took his hand and led him toward the far corner of the overlook, where the shadows were thicker and the wooden walls created a secluded pocket, hidden from the paths below. "Zoey?" His voice carried a note of confusion, though his eyes had already darkened with understanding. I pressed my body against his, feeling his immediate reaction. My fingers trailed up his chest and slid to the back of his neck, pulling him closer. "Right now," I murmured against his lips, my voice low and heavy with longing, "there's nothing else I want more than this." His eyes widened for

    We followed the stone path lined with lanterns that glowed softly against the night. The air was rich with the scent of ripe grapes and earth—an aroma I'd come to recognize and even crave in recent months. The moon, nearly full, cast a silvery glow over the endless rows of vines stretching across the hills, transforming the vineyard into something dreamlike. Christian walked beside me in silence, his hand brushing mine from time to time but never quite holding it. The tension in his posture was unmistakable—his shoulders tight, his jaw set. He had just been handed complete control of the Kensington empire, something most men would celebrate with champagne and a toast. But here he was, walking through the quiet vineyard with me, every step charged with the weight of unspoken things. The overlook came into view—a graceful structure of stone and wood perched at the vineyard's highest point. By day, it offered sweeping views of the estate; by night, it shimmered in moonlight, almost ot
