Natasha’s POV.

The sunlight poured in gently through the kitchen windows, soft and golden, painting everything in a warm glow. I sat across from Sylvester, a quiet kind of calm settling between us as we ate breakfast.

My spoon clinked softly against the edge of the ceramic bowl, but beyond that, there wasn’t much sound. The silence didn’t feel heavy anymore. It felt comfortable, like a worn-in sweater or a song you’ve heard a thousand times and still love. He glanced at me between bites, his expression unreadable at first, but then he smiled, and I felt it again—that quiet flutter deep in my chest.

It had only been a few days since he told me everything about Elena. Every detail, every uncomfortable truth, and every word he had buried in fear of losing me.

The betrayal had stung, yes, but what stayed with me was the way he looked when he spoke. He hadn’t acted defensive or calculating, he was just open, tired, and strangely soft like he had been carrying that burden for so long a

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 111.

    Sylvester’s POV.I woke up with a strange heaviness in my head. For a few moments, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling. Everything felt off. My mouth was dry, my muscles ached, and the light that spilled through the windows made my eyes ache. I slowly sat up on the couch, wincing slightly at the pounding behind my eyes.The room was a mess. Glasses were left half-empty on the table, and the scent of strong liquor still lingered faintly in the air. I looked down at my clothes. I was still in the same shirt from the night before, only the top buttons were undone now. The memories came slowly. Jenna, Marcus, and some of the team members had come over. We had drinks to celebrate the launch. The launch was ready, and everything had been tested again and again. It felt like a victory worth toasting to. We laughed, talked strategy, and raised our glasses more than a few times.But after that, things felt blurry. I rubbed my forehead, trying to clear the fog, trying to pull out whatev

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 110.

    Natasha’s POV.I didn’t know where I was running to. The streets blurred past me, familiar buildings and faces all blending into one long stream of motion.I couldn't feel my legs, just the thud of my shoes hitting the pavement, and the tight, burning ache in my chest.My breath came in broken sobs, loud and ugly. People turned to look, but I couldn’t stop. I didn’t want to. I just wanted to run far enough to erase the image from my mind—the one of Sylvester lying there, half-dressed, with Jenna curled beside him like she belonged there. Like she had always been there.I had come here after being called for an emergency just to see this sight. I had come in thinking he was in danger. I panicked when I thought something had happened to him. I left work. Did his assistant want me to see this myself or was it a prank call from the anonymous sender just to prove he was right?I didn’t even sign out. I dropped everything the moment I heard his name. And now, all I could feel was the stin

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 109.

    Natasha’s POV.The hospital halls were their usual mix of movement and noise—rushed footsteps, clipped voices, and beeping machines echoing faintly from the distance. But none of that felt real to me today. I tried to focus on the charts in front of me, going through patients’ vitals and medication schedules, but the words kept slipping off the page. I kept reading the same lines over and over again, not fully absorbing them.My phone buzzed again. The screen lit up with another anonymous message.“You’ll see it with your own eyes soon. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”I dropped the phone face down on the desk. My fingers lingered against the edges as I stared at the screen, unsure whether I wanted to read it again or throw it across the room.I had blocked the number more than once, but the messages kept coming through with different numbers. Calm but threatening, as if the sender wasn’t in a hurry but was sure of what was coming. I hated how they had made me feel over the past few da

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 108.

    Jenna’s POV.I stood by the window of Sylvester’s penthouse, staring out into the city lights that stretched endlessly before me. They flickered like tiny stars, a glowing reminder of the world I was trying to belong in—a world that had felt so far away when I first arrived. I wasn’t supposed to feel this way. I wasn’t supposed to fall for the man I was sent to use. But here I was, unable to separate the mission from my feelings.Everything had gotten more complicated than I expected. Sylvester wasn’t just a target anymore. He had become someone I cared about deeply. I didn’t know when it started—perhaps during one of those late nights when we worked together or maybe it was the quiet way he showed gratitude when I brought him food, or how he would stay up even later just so I wouldn’t be working alone. There was something about his presence that made the air feel different, softer, and safer.But tonight was different. This wasn’t just another late night at the office. This was t

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 107.

    Henry’s POV.I sat at my desk, staring at the emails that had just come in, my hands clasped so tightly they were beginning to ache. My office felt too quiet and still, like it was holding its breath with me. I leaned back in the chair, my eyes scanning the message from one of the board members again. His tone wasn’t panicked, but there was something in the way he chose his words, as though he didn’t want to alarm me but also couldn’t pretend everything was fine.They had met with Sylvester. I hadn’t known because no one had told me. Not even Marcus.The email ended with a line that made my throat feel tight: “You need to see what they’re planning.”I wasted no time. I called Marcus.He picked up after the second ring. “Henry.”“Don’t play games with me. Did Sylvester show the board members something?” My voice was quiet, but the silence on the other end told me Marcus already knew this wasn’t just a check-in.There was a pause before he responded. “Yes. He showed them the prototype

  • Marrying The Domineering Billionaire In My Sister’s Place   CHAPTER 106.

    Sylvester’s POV.The air in the room felt different that morning. I had woken up earlier than usual, not because of any alarm but because my mind wouldn’t stay quiet. I sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, staring at the floor like it had answers to the questions I was too afraid to speak out loud.It was finally done.The automatic car was no longer a dream. It wasn’t a prototype. It wasn’t an idea I had to convince people to believe in. It was finished. Fully developed. Tested. Proven. Ready.And so was I.This was it for me. This wasn’t just about launching a new product or reclaiming my place in the industry. This was my comeback. My way of standing up after being pushed down, of walking back into the room that many had thought I would never step foot in again. Every sleepless night, every drained account, every abandoned investor, and every moment I thought I had lost everything—this was where it all led.I stood by the window of my office with my hands in my pockets, wa
