Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire Chapter 112
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

"Water? Seriously?" Annie's eyes narrowed, a wicked smile curving her lips. "You're at the Kensington winery's party of the year. Are you insane, or should I start calling you Mom?" I turned to see her striding toward me, two glasses of wine in hand. She offered me one, her brow furrowed. "Annie..." I rolled my eyes, though her teasing hit closer than she realized. A flicker of unease rippled through me. "If you keep sneaking off with Marcus like that, you're the one who's going to end up pregnant first." She laughed, taking a generous sip from her glass. "He spent weeks in Euradia. I'm allowed to make up for lost time." "Well, I miss Christian too," I muttered, glancing toward the crowd. "And we can barely get five minutes alone." "Not my fault you two aren't creative enough to find your own dark corners." Annie smirked behind her glass. "Twenty well-spent minutes in a supply closet can work wonders. Ask Marcus." "Details I definitely don't need." I shook my head, trying n

When I returned to the party, the ballroom was in full swing. The orchestra played a gentle waltz, and several couples glided elegantly across the polished floor. My eyes found Christian immediately—as if there were some invisible radar tuned only to him. He stood with a group of older men, his posture composed, charming as ever, but his gaze kept drifting over the crowd, searching... for me. When he finally spotted me, his whole face changed. The cool, poised expression gave way to a smile so warm it made my heart trip over itself. Without even bothering to excuse himself properly, he crossed the room with determined grace. "I was starting to think my grandfather had kidnapped you," he said, his hand finding mine effortlessly. Our fingers intertwined, fitting together as if they'd been made for it. "Did he show you the 1947 vintage?" "He did." I smiled, still reeling a little from Joseph's revelation. "And we talked." Something in my face must've given me away, because Christi

The silence in the cellar seemed to stretch into infinity, my confession hanging in the air like something poisonous. I waited for it—the disappointment, the hurt, the sense of betrayal to cross Joseph's face. But what came next left me completely stunned. A laugh. Not a polite chuckle or an awkward laugh to ease the tension, but a deep, genuine, full-bodied laugh that came straight from his chest. His shoulders shook with it, and for one absurd moment I thought he might actually be choking. "Joseph?" I asked hesitantly, my anguish momentarily replaced by concern. He lifted a hand, asking for a moment as he caught his breath. Finally, wiping a tear of laughter from the corner of his eye, he looked at me with an expression that was equal parts amusement and tenderness. "My dear, I'm eighty-three, not eight." He shook his head, still grinning. "Did you really think I didn't know?" It felt like the ground vanished beneath my feet. "You… knew?" My voice barely came out. "Fr
