Natasha’s POV.

The cell was cold, not just in temperature, but in the way it felt too still and too quiet. The kind of quiet that sank into your bones and settled there like a weight you couldn’t shake off. I sat on the edge of the hard bench, my arms wrapped around myself, my head bowed low. I didn’t know how long I had been sitting like that, only that it felt like forever.

It was the second day since I was arrested and nothing had changed. There was no update, visit, or call from anyone.

I hadn’t heard from Sylvester, making me wonder if he had abandoned me to save his reputation. I tried not to think too much about it, but I couldn’t help it. Was he trying to help me? Had he given up? Was he still angry? I didn’t know what to believe anymore.

I just sat there wondering if this was where everything would end for me. If this were how my story would close—falsely accused, misunderstood, and forgotten.

My stomach growled quietly, but I ignored it. Hunger had come and gone so many t

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 91.

    Josh’s POV.Even while we are now on a three-day field trip, I hated the way he was always around her like he had some unspoken right to be by her side. Dr. Andrew didn’t say much, but his actions spoke loudly. Every time I got close to Natasha, he would just appear. Not in a dramatic way, no—he was too composed for that. But always at the perfect time, always when I was just a few feet away, just about to start a conversation or catch her eye, and then he’d step in, as though it was accidental, as though I wasn’t being deliberately pushed aside.I stood there near the tents where we were relaxing that afternoon, my arms crossed, pretending to review my notes but my eyes never left her. Natasha laughed at something Dr. Andrew said, tilting her head, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, and I could barely breathe. It wasn’t the sound of her laugh that hurt. It was the fact that it wasn’t mine anymore. She used to laugh with me like that. She used to look at me like I mattered.N

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 90.

    Natasha’s POV.The bus rolled slowly into the compound that would be our home for the next three days. My legs were stiff, my back ached a little from the long ride, and my head was buzzing with thoughts that wouldn’t settle. I looked out the window as the building came into view. It was a clean, modern guesthouse tucked into a quiet part of the hospital’s outreach center. I should have felt excited but remembering the sad look on Slyveater’s face while I waved him goodbye that morning remained in my chest and Josh was also here. As we began unloading our bags and stepping down from the vehicle, I stayed close to Dr. Andrew. He didn’t say much, just gave me a nod and a small smile as we walked together toward the main entrance. I liked that about him. He didn’t push. He observed. And he noticed things others didn’t.Once we reached the check-in desk, Dr. Andrew raised his voice just a little so the others could hear.“I’ll be assigning rooms personally,” he said, already looking at

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 89.

    Sylvester’s POV.I stared at my laptop screen, but I wasn’t reading anything. My eyes were fixed, but my mind was moving too fast to focus. I had lost count of how many hours I had sat in the same chair. The house was quiet. Natasha was still asleep in our room, and I didn’t want to wake her. She had an early shift coming up, and soon, she would be gone for a few days on that medical field trip.The thought of her being away when everything around me felt like it was falling apart filled my chest with unease. I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was coming. Something big. My instincts had rarely failed me, and lately, they had been screaming louder than ever.The product failure had gutted us. We had poured weeks into its development. I had sacrificed time, resources, and reputation. And in the end, we had been outplayed. A smaller, almost invisible company had released an identical product days before ours, sweeping up the market and leaving my investors furious. One by one

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 88.

    Natasha’s POV.I had tried being polite at first. I didn’t want to embarrass him, or cause unnecessary drama at work, especially not in front of patients or senior staff. But Josh didn’t seem to take the hint. Every time I turned around, there he was, offering to help carry my files, suggesting we review patient histories together, or asking questions that had nothing to do with our work.So I became firmer.“I’d prefer to handle this one on my own,” I told him while we were prepping for rounds.He smiled like he hadn’t heard me. “I can just tag along and observe.”I shook my head. “I’m fine. I work better without distractions.”I walked away before he could respond. That has become my way of dealing with it. Get in, do my work, leave without lingering. I stayed close to Andrew and kept conversations professional. I avoided the staff lounge unless I knew someone else was already there. I thought if I stayed consistent, if I kept the same message clear and calm, he would stop.But he

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 87.

    Natasha’s POV.I stood quietly by the doorframe, watching him from across the room. Sylvester sat at his desk, shoulders hunched, and eyes fixed on something on his laptop. The light from the screen cast a dull glow on his face, and for a moment, I saw the fatigue he always tried to hide. He hadn’t noticed me yet. I could tell he was deep in thought, his hand resting on his jaw the way it always did when something was bothering him.I stepped back slowly, giving him the space I knew he needed. I didn’t like pushing him when he was like this. Over the past few days, something had changed in him. He still smiled at me, still reached for my hand, and still kissed my forehead before leaving for the office or before bed, but it felt like those gestures were holding more weight than before. As though he was trying too hard to appear okay.There was something in his silence, in the way he stayed longer in his study than usual, in the way he brushed off my questions about the company. I could

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 86.

    Henry’s POV.I poured myself a glass of wine as the last report loaded onto my screen. The numbers were beautiful. There was no better word to describe them. Profits were up. Sales of the new product had already exceeded our projected goals for the quarter. The media was praising the rival company, calling it bold, revolutionary, and the future of medical tech. I sat back and let the satisfaction settle over me.The product had once belonged to Sylvester. Now it belonged to me. And the best part was, the idiot still didn’t know how close I had been all along. The mole had done his job, the file had been handed over, and the launch had been clean. No traces. No doubts. Just business."Poetic justice," I muttered aloud, swirling the wine in its glass.The silence in my office was comfortable. The lights were dim, just the glow of the screens lighting the room. This was how I liked it. Quiet and in control, nothing slipping through my fingers.I tapped through a few more files. Board mee
