His eyes snap to mine, dark and accusing. "Did you give Carla my number?"

"No!" I say in a frantic gasp. "Why would I do that?"

"Then why is she texting me?"

The car suddenly feels impossibly small, the air thick and hot, hard to breathe. My stomach twists into a painful knot. "What is she saying?"

Jason's jaw is a slab of granite. For a long moment, he looks like he's weighing his options, debating whether to pull me deeper into his mess or shut me out completely. Then, with a look of grim res

    Jason’s POVI’m pacing the living room back and forth like a caged lion. My footsteps echo sharply against the marble floors.My hand keeps dragging through my hair, tugging at the strands until my scalp stings. Richard Walker. My stepfather. Sitting across from me in my own boardroom like he already owned the table as Co-CEO. The word burns like acid in my throat.He just couldn’t bear to see me happy and be good on my own, could he? He just had to come into my life and make it a living hell once again just so he can smile at my pain. Well, I’m a man now, I’m not going to allow that happen.The elevator dings.I turn just as Diane steps into the penthouse. She looks softer today, like the visit to her mother’s house yesterday gave her a little peace. The moment she sees me pacing like this, her expression shifts from relief to concern in a heartbeat.“Jason?” She drops her bag and walks toward me quickly. “What’s going on? You look like you’re about to wear a hole in the floor.”I st

  • Mistakenly Married To My Billionaire Roommate   CHAPTER 59

    Jason’s POVI wake up slowly, the kind of lazy morning where sunlight filters through the curtains and the world feels momentarily soft. My arm reaches across the bed instinctively, searching for the warmth of my wife.She isn’t there.I open my eyes and find Diane sitting up against the headboard, knees drawn to her chest, completely absorbed in one of her mother’s old diaries. Her eyes are wide, flicking rapidly across the page, and there’s a flush of excitement mixed with disbelief on her face.“Babygirl?” I murmur, voice still husky from sleep.She looks up, and the brightest smile breaks across her lips. It’s the kind that lights up her entire being. “Jason, you won’t believe this.”I sit up, leaning against the headboard beside her. “What is it?”She turns the diary toward me slightly, her voice bubbling with urgency. “I was reading Mom’s old entries… and she met someone. A charming man at a party back in 1998. They talked for hours. He made her feel seen. She gave him her numbe

    Diane’s POVMy eyes flutter open to the most beautiful sight in the world.Jason is leaning over me, propped up on one elbow, wearing that charming, slightly crooked smile that has always had the power to make my heart skip like it’s the very first time. Soft morning light spills through the curtains, painting golden strokes across his sharp jawline and turning his dark hair into something almost ethereal. He looks like a dream I’m afraid I’ll wake up from.“Hey beautiful,” he murmurs, his voice still deliciously rough with sleep. His fingers gently brush a stray lock of hair away from my face. The touch is so tender it sends warmth blooming through my chest.A sleepy smile curves my lips. “Hey.”“How are you feeling this morning?” he asks, his hazel eyes searching mine with that quiet intensity that always makes me feel truly seen.“Pretty good,” I whisper, stretching lazily beneath the silk sheets. “You watched me sleep without waking me up?”“You looked so peaceful,” he says softly

  • Mistakenly Married To My Billionaire Roommate   CHAPTER 57

    Jason’s POVI’m standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows when the elevator dings.The city sparkles like scattered diamonds below, but my mind is miles away, trapped in that suffocating boardroom, replaying Conrad’s smug face and Aldridge’s carefully worded threats. Someone is coming for everything I own. It could be Conrad but I don’t think that moron can pull that off on his own. So who?The doors slide open and Diane steps out. The second I see her, the entire world narrows to just her.She looks shattered. Not in a way that shows on the surface. Because she is Diane, and doesn’t like to look like she doesn’t have it all together. But I see it all. Her shoulders are curled inward like they’re trying to protect her heart. Her eyes are swollen and red-rimmed, carrying a pain so heavy it seems to weigh down every step she takes.The moment her gaze lands on me, the last thread of her control snaps. She drops her bag with a dull thud and runs.I meet her halfway, catching her as she cr

    Diane’s POVTwo days since Darole materialized in our living room like a ghost, and the penthouse has become a mausoleum.Jason is here. His body, anyway. He still kisses my forehead when he returns, still asks about my day in that careful, measured tone. Still wraps himself around me at night like I'm the only thing keeping him from drifting into the dark. But I feel the distance. I can’t exactly tell what it is but I know it’s not all in my head.He's cracking. I see it in the deep, permanent crease between his brows. Last night I woke at 3 AM to find him awake, staring at the ceiling like it held answers he was terrified to find. His jaw was clenched so tight I could hear his teeth grinding. When I whispered his name, he pulled me against his chest and buried his face in my hair."Go back to sleep, little trouble."I hate that he thinks I'm blind. I hate that he thinks "little trouble" still works when everything feels like the end of the world.Now, I’m sitting at the table having
