Married To The Cruel Billionaire Chapter 41
THIRD PERSON The house felt too quiet for a Saturday.That was the first problem.Selene noticed it the moment she woke up. Like the walls knew Adrien was home and were determined to make sure she knew it too.It had been a few days since… that.She didn’t name it in her head. Naming it made it real, and real things needed to be handled, talked about, looked at straight on. She wasn’t doing that. She had decided, very carefully, that the best response was avoidance and to forget they literally had sex.Not reflection, Not talking just Avoidance.It felt mature when she framed it right.She stayed in bed longer than usual, scrolling through her phone without actually reading anything, just to delay the moment she’d have to step into the shared space. When she finally got up, she moved quietly, like he might hear her thoughts through the walls.She told herself she was calm.She stepped into the bathroom, brushed her teeth, washed her face, stared at her reflection longer than needed.

*******Third person.The boardroom was already alive when Adrien pushed the door open.Voices paused for half a second. Not enough to stop the meeting, just enough to mark his arrival. Chairs were already pulled close to the long table. Tablets were lit. Coffee cups half empty.Adrien stepped in like he hadn’t kept anyone waiting.He didn’t rush. Didn’t apologize beyond the brief nod he gave as he walked in.“Morning,” he said, calm, easy.He moved to his seat and pulled the chair back without noise. Sat down with the same control he always carried, one hand smoothing the edge of the table as if he’d been there from the start.He lifted his gaze and gave small nods around the room. Not friendly. Not stiff. Just enough to acknowledge presence.Then his eyes met his father’s.A short glance. Respectful. Quiet.His father didn’t smile, but he didn’t frown either. He simply watched.Leo, on the other hand, didn’t hide anything.Leo’s eyes were sharp, already lit with something restless.

SELENEI woke up slowly, like my body didn’t trust the morning yet.The room was quiet. Too quiet. The kind of quiet that makes your chest tighten because it reminds you of things you’d rather not think about. Light slipped in through the curtains, soft and pale, touching the edge of the bed, the floor, the walls. Everything looked normal.I didn’t feel normal.The first thing I felt was the weight of memory. Heavy. Warm. Unwanted and wanted at the same time.Last night.The way my body had moved before my mind could stop it. The way I’d kissed him. The way I’d stayed. The way I hadn’t run.My stomach twisted.I turned my head slowly and there he was.Adrien was asleep beside me, stretched out like he owned the space without trying. One arm rested above his head, the other loose at his side. His face looked softer like this. Less sharp. Less guarded. Just a man sleeping.I stared at him longer than I should have.This was a mistake.Not a disaster. Not a scandal. Just a mistake that f

SELENEThe kiss landed before I could think.One second I was standing there with my hand still half raised from knocking, my heart already beating too fast for no reason I could explain. The next second, my body moved on its own. I stepped forward and pressed my mouth to his.Hard.No plan. No warning. Just heat.Adrien froze.I felt it instantly. The way his body went still. The way his breath stopped like I’d shocked the air right out of him. For a split second, I thought he might pull back. Thought I’d made a mistake.Then his hand came up.Slow at first. Almost unsure. His fingers brushed my side like he was checking if I was real. Like he was giving me space to stop him.I didn’t.I leaned into him instead, my lips moving again, firmer this time. Demanding. My hands fisted in his shirt, dragging him closer like I was scared he’d disappear if I didn’t hold on tight enough.That was all it took.His fingers curled into my waist and he pulled me in fully. Not rough. Not gentle eith

OLIVIAI woke up angry.Not the quiet kind. Not the tired kind. The kind that sits in your chest and makes your hands shake before you even open your eyes.My phone was already buzzing on the nightstand. It hadn’t stopped all night. I knew that before I even picked it up. I could feel it in my bones.Buzz.Buzz.Buzz.I grabbed it and the screen lit up like it was mocking me.Notifications. Too many to count.Blogs. Gossip pages. Business updates. Society trash that pretends to be news.I scrolled.And there it was.Again.And again.“Power Couple Removed from Voss Event.”“Adrien Voss Publicly Defends Wife.”“Sources Say Adrien Voss ‘Shut It Down’ for Selene.”My fingers tightened around the phone.There was a photo under the headline. A clear one. Too clear. Adrien standing in front of Selene. His hand at her waist. His body angled like a wall. Like she needed protecting and he was proud to do it.Like I didn’t exist.Like Lucas didn’t exist.Like we were nothing but noise he shut o

SELENEHe smiled at me before walking out of the room, shutting the door.I stayed where I was long after the door closed.The room felt different now. Not quiet. Not calm. Just… tight. Like the air had been pulled too thin and I was breathing through it anyway.My heart kept thudding, slow and heavy.His words replayed in my head, over and over.You were delicious.Joking. He’d had to be joking.But the pause before that. The way he’d looked at me.I pushed myself off the bed and walked to the door. My hand hovered over the handle for a second before I pulled it open.“Adrien,” I called out.He was already halfway down the hall.He stopped, but didn’t turn around.“Did we,” I said, my voice shaking despite my effort to steady it, “did we have sex?”Silence.That silence was loud.“Adrien,” I pressed, stepping closer. “Answer me.”He sighed, slow and controlled, like I was asking something inconvenient.“I thought we were done talking about this.”“No,” I snapped. “We are not. You don
