Chapter Seven

The parking lot was nearly empty, our footsteps echoing against concrete as I followed Adrien through the rain. My feet were bare now, the ruined heels abandoned somewhere on the terrace because I simply couldn't walk in them anymore. The cold pavement bit into my soles with each step, but it was nothing compared to the bone-deep chill that had settled into my body over the past three hours.

He stopped beside the motorcycle—a Ducati, it was sleek, black and dangerous-looking. Everything about it screamed speed and power and recklessness and I loved it! He opened the storage compartment and pulled out a helmet, holding it out to me without a word.

I took it, my frozen fingers clumsy against the smooth surface. "Thank you."

His eyes dropped to my bare feet, then slowly traveled back up to my face. "Why aren't you wearing your heels?"

"I stood in them in the rain for three hours," I said quietly. "I couldn't... I couldn't feel my feet anymore. They're somewhere back there,

  • In Love With The Hot Billionaire.   ~The Betrayal~

    Chapter Fifteen Camille's POVThe movie played on. Some scenes with witty banter and romantic tension that I would have normally enjoyed. But I found it hard to focus on the dialogue. The words seemed to blur together, bleeding into each other like watercolors left in the rain.I took another sip of the jasmine tea. It really was perfect, with a slight sweetness that lingered on my tongue. Theo had gone to so much trouble to find it for me. The thought made warmth bloom in my chest.Or was that the tea itself making me feel warm?I shifted on the couch, suddenly aware of how heavy my limbs felt. Like someone had filled them with sand while I wasn't paying attention."You okay?" Theo's voice seemed to come from very far away, even though he was sitting just across from me."Mm-hmm." I nodded, but the motion made the room tilt slightly. "Just tired, I think. It's been a long week.""Of course. You should rest more."I took another sip of tea, trying to clear the fog that was settling o

  • In Love With The Hot Billionaire.   ~The Poison In Kindness~

    Chapter Fourteen Camille's POVMorning light filtered through my bedroom curtains, but I'd been awake for hours. I'd barely slept, jumping at every sound, my dresser still shoved against the door like a barricade against whatever Theo's words had implied.We have shared the same woman before The words had played on repeat all night, twisting my stomach into knots, making me question everything I thought I knew about my marriage.Around nine AM, I heard a gentle knock on my bedroom door."Camille?" Theo's voice, soft and concerned. "I'm so sorry about last night. Please, can we talk?"I didn't move the dresser. "What do you want?""To apologize. Properly, please."Every instinct told me to stay locked in here until he left. But I couldn't hide forever. And if I told Julien I'd barricaded myself in my room because of his best friend, he'd only find a way to make it my fault.Slowly, I pushed the dresser aside and opened the door a crack.Theo stood there holding a tray. On it was coff

  • In Love With The Hot Billionaire.   ~The Dinner Trap~

    Chapter Thirteen Camille's POV Theo stood at the stove, somehow looking perfectly at home in my kitchen, stirring something in a pan. The dining table had been set for two. On the table were candles, wine glasses and cloth napkins arranged like this was a romantic dinner instead of whatever this was. He looked up and smiled. "Perfect timing! I hope you like coq au vin. I found everything I needed in your pantry." "Theo, you didn't have to..." "I wanted to." He gestured to the table. "You need to eat, and I'm a decent cook. Consider it my contribution to keeping you company." Every instinct screamed at me to refuse. Every instinct screamed to say I wasn't hungry. But Julien's voice echoed in my head: Theo is like family. Y If I refused Theo's dinner, he'd tell Julien. And Julien would be angry and he would accuse me of being ungrateful, difficult and paranoid and he would find some way to punish me for the disrespect and I wasn't ready for that. "That's very thoughtful,"

  • In Love With The Hot Billionaire.   ~The Unwanted Guest~

    Chapter Twelve Camille's POVThe Paris streets blurred past the car window as Elodie navigated evening traffic, but I barely saw them. My mind was stuck at the Trocadéro fountain, replaying the moment our eyes had met across the water.Adrien. With a child."You good Camille?" Elodie's voice cut through my thoughts. "You've been staring out that window for ten minutes without blinking.""Sorry. I'm just... processing.""Processing that Adrien Duval is a dad?" She glanced at me, then back at the road. "He's famously private about his personal life. No one really knows where his wife is."My stomach dropped. "His wife?""Well, theoretically. I mean, he has a kid, so there must have been a woman at some point. But she's never photographed with him, never at events. The rumors range from divorced to separated to…" she lowered her voice dramatically, "dead.""Dead?""I don't believe that one. Too soap opera. But the point is, no one knows. Some people think he's a single dad. Others think

  • In Love With The Hot Billionaire.   ~The Man Behind The Mask~

    Chapter Eleven Adrien's POV The gala had been a mistake from the start. I'd only attended because my mother had insisted. After all, it was an event where Paris's elite gathered to write checks and feel virtuous about it. I hated these things. The false smiles, the networking that felt more like circling sharks, the women who saw my bank account before they saw my face. My mother wanted me to get married, but I didn't want to be with any woman in life. However, my mother didn't let me breathe. I suffered through an hour of champagne and empty conversations, and left early. The rain had started but I didn't care. I wanted to leave this place! I'd been adjusting my cufflinks when I saw her. A woman in a red dress, standing alone on the terrace. She was so weak-looking like something abandoned. At first, I'd thought she was waiting for some ride that was running late. But as I watched, couples passed her, some whispered and even laughed. And she just stood there. Somethin

    Chapter Ten I stared at him for a while and wondered how to shut those lips unromantically. He further said, "When I get back, we're going to have a serious discussion about your attitude." "I look forward to it." He grabbed his bag and headed for the door, pausing on the threshold. "The money I sent your mother? Consider it the last charity you'll get from me until you remember how to behave properly. If your family needs anything else, they can wait until you've earned it." The door slammed behind him. I watched through the window as he climbed into the car next to Véronique, as she leaned over to kiss him before the driver pulled away. I watched the car disappear down the street, taking my husband and his mistress toward whatever destination he'd claim was business. Then I was alone. The moment Julien's car disappeared around the corner, I grabbed my phone. Elodie answered on the second ring. "Please tell me you're calling with good news." "He's gone. Business trip. For a
