Married To The Arrogant Billionaire Heir CHAPTER 95.
Grace’s POV.The elevator doors had closed minutes ago, but the scent of Ryan’s funeral lilies still lingered in the air, pungent and suffocating.Sebastian was still holding me, his heart hammering against my back. The performance was over, but he hadn't let go. If anything, his grip had tightened.Sebastian didn't stop as he carried me into the bedroom. He carried me down the hallway, his jaw set in a line of granite, the muscles in his arms bunched tight. I could feel the thudding of his heart against my ribs—a frantic, heavy rhythm that betrayed just how much restraint he had used in that living room.He kicked the master bedroom door shut behind us and locked it. The sound of the deadbolt sliding home echoed like a gunshot, signaling the end of the performance.He didn't take me to the bed immediately. He stood there in the center of the room, holding me, his breathing rough and uneven."I’m okay," I whispered, reaching up to touch the tense cord of muscle in his neck. My hand tr

Sebastian’s POV.The intercom buzzed at 11:00 AM, slicing through the quiet intimacy of the morning.I was sitting on the sofa with Grace. She was tucked against my side, her cast resting on a silk pillow, her head heavy on my shoulder. We hadn't moved for hours. I was still wearing a robe, my hair uncombed—a state of disarray that would have normally horrified me. But today, I didn't care about the armor of a three-piece suit. I only cared about the warmth of the woman in my arms."Mr. Knight?" Arthur's voice came over the speaker, sounding strained. "Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Knight are downstairs. They say they’ve come to bring flowers and check on... Mrs. Knight’s recovery."I felt Grace stiffen against me. Her breath hitched, and a tremor ran through her body that had nothing to do with the air conditioning."Let them up," I said, my voice cold and flat."Sebastian, you don't have to," Grace whispered, clutching the lapel of my robe. Her eyes were wide, filled with the trauma of seeing h

Sebastian’s POV.The morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains of the master suite, casting long, pale ribbons of light across the bed. For the first time in my life, the dawn didn't feel like a summons to war. It felt like a reprieve.Grace was draped across me, her head resting on my chest, her breathing deep and rhythmic. My arm was tucked beneath her, my hand resting protectively over the cast on her arm. I didn't want to move. I didn't want to break the spell.After the raw, desperate intensity of the bathroom last night—after we had finally stripped away the silence and the lies—this was the part I hadn't expected. The softness. The quiet way she sought out my heat in her sleep, her fingers curled into the fabric of my t-shirt.I ran my thumb slowly along the line of her shoulder, savoring the silkiness of her skin. The cold war between us had left us both gaunt, but holding her now, I felt a strange, terrifying sense of completion. I had spent my life building walls, but

Grace’s POV.The penthouse was quiet, but it wasn't the cold, suffocating silence of the last few days. It was a warm, protective quiet, the kind that muffled the world outside and made the rest of the city feel like a distant memory.Sebastian carried me through the front door."I can walk," I whispered, resting my head against his shoulder. My left arm was in a heavy cast, held close to my body in a sling. My head throbbed with a dull, rhythmic ache, but the hospital painkillers were keeping the worst of the fog at bay."I know you can," Sebastian said, his voice a low rumble against my ear. He kicked the door shut behind us, the sound final and firm. "But I’m not putting you down. I’m not letting go of you tonight."He walked straight past the guest room—the room that had been my lonely prison for the last three days—and carried me into the master suite. He laid me gently on the silk duvet, adjusting the pillows with a frantic, careful sort of grace to ensure I could sit up without

Sebastian’s POV.The silence in the hospital room was heavy, broken only by the rhythmic beeping of the monitor. I sat in the hard plastic chair next to the bed, my hand engulfing Grace’s uninjured one.She had been drifting in and out of consciousness for hours, but now, her eyes were open. They were glassy with pain medication, but the fear in them was sharp and lucid."Sebastian," she croaked, her throat dry from the dust."I’m here," I said immediately, leaning forward to bring a cup of water to her lips. "Drink slowly. You’re safe."She took a sip, then pulled back, her eyes searching the room frantically. "Is... is anyone else here?""Just my security detail outside the door," I assured her. "No one gets in without my permission. So tell me what happened? I didn't ask you before because you needed rest.”She let out a shaky breath, her fingers tightening around mine with a desperate strength. "It wasn't an accident, Sebastian."My eyes narrowed. "I know. Hydraulics don't fail li

Chloe’s POV.I sat in my car in the subterranean parking garage of our estate, the engine idling, staring at my phone until the screen blurred. My thumb hovered over the Twitter app, refreshing the feed every ten seconds like a tic I couldn't control.The air in the garage was damp and smelled of exhaust and cold concrete, but I was sweating. My silk blouse was sticking to my back. My heart was hammering a frantic, uneven rhythm against my ribs.I was waiting for the headline. Tragedy at Hudson Yards. Mrs. Knight Found Dead.I had been sitting here for four hours. I couldn't go upstairs. I couldn't face Ryan, and I certainly couldn't face my reflection in the mirror. Every time I blinked, I saw the pipes falling. I saw the cloud of dust. I heard that sickening, metallic crack of the hydraulics failing.I refreshed the feed again.BREAKING NEWS: MIRACLE AT HUDSON YARDS.Isabella Knight, wife of billionaire CEO Sebastian Knight, has survived a catastrophic collapse at the future Knight
