~Katia~

I came back from the Maldives on Saturday morning with the dinner only hours away and the strange, unsteady feeling of someone returning from a different version of her own life back into the one everyone else still expected her to occupy.

Jude was waiting at my apartment when I arrived, which I had not asked him to do, though I supposed by now I should have stopped being surprised when he found ways into spaces I had not explicitly invited him into.

He looked composed. The jaw had fini

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    The Weight of Doubt

    Noah’s POVI didn’t go back to the hospital.After I left my father’s office, I drove without a real destination, the rain thinning into a fine mist that made the streets look polished and empty. His words kept turning over in my head, clean and sharp, the way he had always delivered the things that were meant to cut deepest. He had not confessed. He had not denied in any way that felt honest. He had simply rearranged the blame until it sat on my shoulders again, heavier than when I walked in.Someone wants you looking at me.The line refused to leave.By the time I pulled over, the sky had gone fully dark. I sat in the car with the engine off and stared at my phone for a long time before I finally made the call.Marcus answered on the second ring.“Noah.”“I need to talk to you,” I said. “Alone. Not at the hospital. Not with Julian in the room yet.”There was a short pause on his end.“Where?”I gave him the name of a quiet bar twenty minutes from the hospital, the kind of place that

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    Blood and Blame

    Noah’s POVFather’s office sat on the top floor of a building that still carried his name in quiet, expensive lettering. The kind of place that smelled like old money and newer threats. I didn’t wait for the assistant to finish announcing me. I pushed the door open and walked straight in.He stood at the window with a glass in his hand, looking out at the wet city like it had been arranged for his viewing pleasure. He didn’t turn around right away. He never did when he wanted you to feel the weight of interrupting him.“I wondered how long it would take,” he said.“You almost killed a pregnant woman.”That made him turn. Slowly. The same calm expression he always wore when he already knew how he wanted the conversation to end. He looked me over the way a man looks at a disappointing investment.“Is that the story they’re telling you?” he asked. “How dramatic. Sit down, Noah. You look like you’re about to stain the carpet with all that righteousness.”“I’m not sitting.”“Of course you’

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband     Blood Questions

    Noah’s POVThe hospital corridor smelled like antiseptic and rain-damp coats.Delia walked beside me, her hand loosely in mine. She hadn’t said much on the drive over. I hadn’t either. The message from Julian had been short and sharp: Katia was in an accident. Windsor Hospital. Come if you can. Nothing about how bad it was. Nothing about why the words "accident" felt like a lie even through a text.When we turned the corner into the private waiting area, the room was already full.Julian stood near the window with Marcus. Grandma Celeste sat in one of the chairs, composed in the way only she could manage when the ground was shifting. A few others I didn’t know well enough to name hovered near the edges. The air felt heavy, the kind of quiet that only exists when everyone is waiting for the same door to open.I stopped just inside and turned to Delia.“I’m sorry,” I said, keeping my voice low. “I know you and the Windsors have a history. I should have asked you first before bringing yo

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband     Same Method

    Julian’s POVThe doctor came back faster than I expected.I was still standing in the same spot in the waiting room when the door opened again. His expression had settled into something more controlled, but there was a tightness around his eyes that hadn’t been there before.“I checked,” he said without preamble. “The baby’s heart rate is strong. No signs of distress. From what we can see right now, the pregnancy is intact, and the baby appears safe and healthy. We’ll keep monitoring, of course, but the initial concern has passed.”The second wave of relief hit differently than the first. It went deeper. I nodded once because I didn’t trust my voice. Grandma Celeste’s hand settled briefly on my arm. I barely felt it.“When can I see her?” I asked.“Soon. We’re finishing a few assessments. Someone will come get you.”He left again. The room felt too quiet in his absence. I sat down heavily and dragged both hands over my face. Katia was alive. The baby was alive. Those two facts had to

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    She's stable

    Julian’s POVI was halfway through a quarterly review when the phone rang.The conference was in my study; video links opened across three screens, two board members speaking over each other about projected margins in the Asian markets. Zane sat across from me with a folder open, making quiet notes. The rain still hammered the windows behind the desk. I had checked my messages an hour earlier. Katia had not texted that she had arrived at the office. I told myself the weather was slowing everyone down.The private line lit up.I almost let it go to voicemail. Then I saw the hospital prefix and answered.“Can I please speak to Mr. Windsor?”“This is Julian Windsor.”There was a short pause, the kind people take when they are about to deliver something that cannot be softened.“Mr. Windsor, your wife was involved in a serious car accident. She is in critical condition. She was brought to—”The rest of the address washed over me in fragments. I heard the name of the hospital. I heard “cri

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    Something Is Wrong

    Katia’s POVThe rain started before sunrise.I heard it first against the windows while I was still half-asleep, a steady, heavy sound that made the whole mansion feel smaller. By the time I got out of bed, the sky was the color of wet concrete. Julian was already awake, moving quietly so he wouldn’t wake Aiden. I found them both in the kitchen.Aiden sat at the island in his school uniform, legs swinging, chewing on toast like it was the most important job in the world. Julian stood at the stove in a dark shirt with the sleeves rolled up, scrambling eggs. The smell of coffee and butter filled the space.“Morning,” I said.Aiden looked up and grinned with crumbs on his cheek. “Mommy. It’s raining a lot.”“I know, baby.” I kissed the top of his head and stole a piece of his toast. He made a face but didn’t protest.Julian set a plate in front of me without asking. Eggs, toast, and a little fruit. He knew the mornings when my stomach was uncertain. I ate slowly while Aiden talked about

    ~Katia~"Do you know how hard I've been holding myself?" I didn't answer because all I wanted was to get laid. I could still feel the ache between my legs. He carried my bridal style and led me to his hotel room. "Now, I can fuck you however I want because you are now my wife, princess." The room

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    The Racer and the Popped Cherry

    ~Katia~Vegas heat hit me like a wave the second I stepped off the private jet. The runway shimmered under the late afternoon sun, and I squinted past my sunglasses, already half-listening to the ping of updates on my encrypted racing burner phone. Six hours before the race, and my heart was alread

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    The Arrangement

    KatiaI woke up to the sound of people singing badly.“Happy birthday to you...” I blinked hard against the sunlight filtering through the curtains, my brain slow to reboot. The voices were getting louder, and for a second, I thought I was dreaming. A really weird, off-key dream.“Happy birthday, d

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    Thrown into the Streets

    ~Katia~“Get out!” my mom screamed, her voice tearing through the hallway like a bomb going off in a small room.The sound hit the walls and bounced back so violently, like the house itself was flinching. Even the air felt startled, buzzing with the kind of tension that makes your skin crawl. My he
