It took Ryan's security detail seven hours to realize she was gone. The first six, Paul had filed under sleeping off the night shift, a reasonable assumption, a closed curtain, no movement at the window. It was the seventh hour that changed things. A routine check of the building perimeter. The rear door slightly ajar in a way that could have been careless but wasn't. The interior of the flat looked undisturbed on the surface and wrong underneath it, a chair at an angle, a glass on its side, th

  • Love Unexpected, The Billionaire's Disguise    Unwanted Guest

    After a while they finally climbed out of the bathtub. Ryan wrapped a large towel around Claire and dried her off with slow, lingering strokes before tending to himself. Once they were both dressed, Claire in a soft, modest dress and Ryan in a simple black shirt and trousers, he let out a long, dramatic sigh.“I hope you’re happy,” he muttered, pulling her against him from behind as she stood at the mirror. “Our perfect afternoon is about to be completely ruined. All because someone decided to invite an unwelcome guest.”Claire rolled her eyes, already used to this side of him. The childish complaints, the exaggerated sulking, should have been irritating, yet somehow it only made him more endearing.“It’s only for today,” she said gently.“You don’t know that,” Ryan muttered, still pouting. “We both know your family are leeches. Once they find a comfortable place to latch on, they won't let go.”“Then after today we go back to the brownstone. Or your place,” Claire replied calmly. “Wh

  • Love Unexpected, The Billionaire's Disguise    Missed You

    "Actually," Claire said, setting her fork down and looking her dead in the eye, "he's flying back into the city tomorrow night. Why don't you come over? You can meet him then."​Veronica’s face lit up with unchecked triumph, entirely unaware that she was walking straight into a game she had zero chance of winning. Claire knew that even if Ryan’s feelings were to fade someday, even if he were to eventually leave her, he would never fall for someone like Veronica. At least, that was what Claire desperately wanted to believe. And that was precisely why she felt compelled to put her theory to the test.​"You really mean that? You would give me the address to meet with him?" she gasped, her hands clapping together in exaggerated delight.​"Sure, I mean why not?" Claire said calmly.​"Oh, Claire, you're the best! I knew you still value me as your sister." By this time, Veronica was practically jumping with joy.​"Give me your pen, I'll write the address down for you," Claire said. Taking th

  • Love Unexpected, The Billionaire's Disguise    Sister!!!

    CLAIRETwo years had passed since Ryan and I officially started dating. Though our relationship was far from conventional, often going weeks without seeing each other in person, he made a point to call me every single morning and night without fail.After that night at his house, life pulled us in relentless directions. I threw myself into making up for years of lost time, attending every class, sitting for major examinations, and working late into the night with Madam Antonia to perfect my sketches. It was exhausting. Because I had been deprived of a proper education growing up, I had to build my foundation entirely from scratch. Fast-tracking a diploma meant skipping grades and enduring endless all-nighters, but my own stubborn determination, coupled with Ryan's quiet, constant encouragement, kept me moving forward. Now, only one final examination stood between me and my certificate.​Through all the pressure, having a man like Ryan made every sacrifice worth it. He was managing a m

    RYANI sat beside her on the mattress, carefully pulling her into my lap until her head rested against my chest. Her body was still rigid with leftover anxiety, but I held her firm, running a hand through her hair, letting the steady beat of my heart anchor her.​"Hey," I murmured into her soft curls, my voice low and thick with conviction. "Look at me, Claire."​She hesitated before tilting her head back, her eyes shining with unshed tears.​"I've got you," I said softly, my thumb brushing over her cheekbone. "You don't ever have to sit alone in the dark and panic like that. Whatever happens, whatever we face, we're in this together now. Understand?"​A single tear spilled over her eyelashes, but as I caught it with my thumb, the tension finally drained from her posture. She leaned into me completely, wrapping her arms around my torso and burying her face in the crook of my neck.​"I'm sorry," she breathed against my skin. "I just... I panicked. Everything moved so fast, and I was sc

  • Love Unexpected, The Billionaire's Disguise    Panic

    RYANThe drive to the mansion was thick with quiet, electric tension. Neither of us spoke. The leather interior felt heavy with everything we weren’t saying. My hand never left hers; my thumb stroked slowly over her knuckles while my other hand guided the BMW through the glowing grid of the city with practiced ease.When we finally pulled into my private underground garage, the silence tightened even further. I killed the engine and turned toward her in the dim overhead light.“Claire.” My voice was low. I caught her chin gently between my thumb and forefinger. “If you’re tired… if you just want to sleep… tell me now.”She leaned into my palm, eyes dark and clear.“I’m not tired, Ryan,” she whispered. “I don’t want to sleep.”A rough exhale left me. The last of my restraint cracked.Within minutes we were inside the house. The moment the doors opened into the foyer, I didn’t give her a chance to look around. I cupped the back of her neck, pulled her against me, and took her mouth.Thi

  • Love Unexpected, The Billionaire's Disguise    Be My Girlfriend

    CLAIRE "I came here tonight to take you to dinner, but before we step out that door, there's something I need to ask."​He paused, stepping so close that I had to tilt my chin up just to meet his eyes. My heart was hammering violently against my ribs, the sheer heat of his proximity making it hard to process his words. God, please don't let him tell me he's had enough of me.​Nothing, however, prepared me for what he actually said.​"Listen, I don't know how to say this, but I'm just going to say it," he murmured, his dark eyes searching mine. "I've thought long and hard about this, Claire. I don't want to be your benefactor, and I damn sure don't want to be your landlord."​He paused again, and in that split second, my heart sank to the floor. I've finally ruined everything, I thought, a cold wave of dread washing over me.​"I want to be your boyfriend," he finished softly. "Officially."​Just as fast as it had plummeted, my heart did a violent, happy flip in my chest. The lingering
