The woman he had spent two weeks searching for was finally standing on the other side.

For several seconds, neither of them moved.

Adrian Cross had imagined this moment a thousand different ways.

In some versions, Vivian screamed at him.

In others, she slammed the door in his face before he could say a single word.

Sometimes, in the cruelest corners of his imagination, she looked at him with the kind of indifference that told him he no longer mattered.

He had prepared himself for anger.

  • His Billion Dollar Bride    EPILOGUE

    SEVEN YEARS LATER"DAAAAADDDYYYYYY!"Adrian Cross had negotiated billion-dollar acquisitions, survived hostile takeovers, faced ruthless competitors, and endured enough business meetings to make an ordinary man question every decision that had led him to his career.None of those experiences had prepared him for the small hurricane currently racing through his front door."Daddy!"He barely had time to set down his phone before a little girl in a pink school uniform launched herself at him.Adrian caught her effortlessly."Lily Cross!"His daughter giggled as he lifted her into his arms."You're home early," he said, kissing her cheek. "Did you miss me?""No."He gasped."No?"She shook her head solemnly."I missed Mummy more."Adrian stared at her.For three whole seconds, he looked as though she had personally betrayed him.Then he placed a hand over his chest."After everything I've done for you?"Lily burst into laughter."Daddy!""I carried you when you were a baby.""I know!""I

  • His Billion Dollar Bride    THE BABY

    The hospital doors slid open.Adrian barely waited for the car to stop before getting out."Vivian, we're here."She nodded, but her fingers were wrapped so tightly around his that he could feel the tremor running through them.Another contraction had left her exhausted, and the uncertainty in her eyes was doing something terrible to his heart.He had spent the entire drive trying to remain calm for her.He had told her they would take things one step at a time.He had promised that he would stay beside her.But the moment he saw the hospital entrance, with its bright lights and hurried footsteps, all the fear he had been holding back threatened to swallow him.He could handle business crises.He could handle public scandals.He could handle a room full of people trying to destroy his reputation.But he had never felt so helpless in his entire life."Come on," he murmured, opening her door. "Let's get you inside."A nurse met them at the entrance, and within minutes, Vivian was being

  • His Billion Dollar Bride    TWO WEEKS TO FIND HIS WIFE

    Adrian Cross disappeared on a Tuesday.No announcement.No press conference.No suspicious black convoy pulling up outside his office.No private jet departure captured by some overly enthusiastic airport photographer.Nothing.One moment, he was the billionaire whose face had been plastered across every news channel for weeks. The next, he was nowhere to be found.The reporters camping outside Cross Enterprises noticed first.At eight in the morning, they were still standing behind the barriers, holding cameras and microphones, waiting for the man who had recently begged his missing wife to come home during a livestream watched by millions.By ten, they were becoming impatient.By noon, someone had called the company's reception to ask whether Adrian was expected to make an appearance.By two, three different news outlets had published articles speculating about his sudden absence.WHERE IS ADRIAN CROSS?BILLIONAIRE VANISHES AFTER PUBLIC PLEA TO ESTRANGED WIFE.IS ADRIAN CROSS PREPAR

  • His Billion Dollar Bride    THE CLUE THAT LED HIM TO HER

    Adrian Cross was running out of patience.Not with the lawyers.Not with the reporters who still camped outside his office, hoping to catch him making another statement.Not even with Sharon and Marcus, whose legal troubles were only beginning.He was running out of patience with the silence.The silence that greeted him every morning when he woke up.The silence that followed him into his office.The silence that filled the bedroom he had once shared with Vivian.And the silence that answered every message he sent to the woman he loved.It had been days since his livestream.Days since he had swallowed his pride and begged millions of strangers to help him reach his wife.Days since he had told the world that he wanted Vivian Lane to come home.And still, nothing.Not a call.Not a text.Not even a single word to tell him that she had watched the broadcast.He didn't know whether she had cried while listening to him.He didn't know whether she had laughed bitterly at his desperation.

  • His Billion Dollar Bride    THE MAN WHO BEGGED THE WORLD

    Adrian Cross had never been a man who begged.He had built an empire with his own hands, survived boardroom betrayals, buried his parents, and learned to wear an expression so cold that even his closest associates sometimes struggled to tell what he was thinking.He was Adrian Cross.The billionaire who never lost.The man whose name opened doors, whose signature moved millions, and whose silence was often more terrifying than another man's threats.But on the morning his lawyers placed the final documents before him, Adrian discovered something far more important than his reputation.He had won the battle to clear his name.And lost the woman who had once made his house feel like a home."Mr. Cross?"Adrian lifted his eyes from the papers.Jonathan Hayes, his lead attorney, sat across from him in the private conference room. Daniel stood near the window, his arms folded, watching his employer with the kind of concern he had stopped trying to hide."We have everything ready," Jonathan
