My Accidental Billionaire Husband A Ticking Bomb
~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 finished healing into something close to normal, the bruising long gone, the wire mesh removed weeks ago. He looked, if anything, like a man who had spent the last several days thinking carefully about his next move rather than reacting to anything in front of him."You look rested," he said when I walked through the door."It was a work trip," I said, setting my bag down on the counter."Was it?" he asked.I looked at him."What is the London extension, Katia?" he asked. His tone was light, almost
My Accidental Billionaire Husband What You Are Not Telling Me
~Delia~I saw the photograph before I understood what I was looking at.It came up in my feed the way everything came up in my feed, scrolling past without asking permission, and then my thumb stopped moving entirely because the account posting it was Julian's, and the image did not match the version of his account I had learned to expect. He was not someone who posted often. In the two years I had lived under his roof I could count the personal images on one hand. A single photograph from a trip to France the year before, nothing more than a hand resting near two glasses of wine on a table, no faces, no names, nothing that told the world anything except that he had been somewhere and had a drink while he was there. I had stared at that photograph for longer than I wanted to admit, trying to determine whose hand was not in the frame, and had never found an answer.That was the closest he had ever come to sharing anything about his life outside the boardroom.This was not that.A sing
My Accidental Billionaire Husband Beneath the Surface
~Katia~The reef sat a short boat ride from the villa, close enough that the staff dropped us off and left without waiting, trusting we would signal when we wanted to be collected again.Julian had brought the masks and fins himself, refusing the offer of an instructor or a guide, which did not surprise me by this point in the trip. He preferred to do things himself when he could, the same way he had cut the fruit for breakfast with his own hands rather than letting the staff arrange it, the same way he had taken the boat wheel from the resort captain without asking the first morning we arrived."You have done this before," I said, watching him check the strap on his mask with practiced fingers."Once or twice," he said. "Not recently."We slipped into the water together.The cold hit first, a brief shock against skin that had spent the last several days adjusting to air thick with heat, and then it settled into something almost gentle, the lagoon holding us the way water always seeme
My Accidental Billionaire Husband The Sandbank
~Katia~The boat dropped us at a strip of sand that should not have existed.It rose out of the lagoon like something the ocean had only agreed to lend us for a few hours, a narrow crescent of pale white sand surrounded entirely by water on every side, with nothing else visible except the distant outline of our own island behind us and the endless blue stretching out in front. The resort staff had been here earlier in the day. A single low table sat in the center of the sandbank, candles already planted in the sand around it, waiting for the dark to give them their purpose, and a woven blanket spread beneath it for us to sit on instead of chairs.Julian helped me out of the boat himself.The water was warm around my ankles, the sand soft and cool beneath it, and for a moment neither of us moved toward the table. We simply stood there, his hand still holding mine, looking at the strange, fragile beauty of a piece of land that the tide would erase by morning."It will be gone by tomorr
My Accidental Billionaire Husband Skin, Salt, and Surrender
Julian's POVThe sun was beginning its descent, painting the sky in strokes of bruised violet and burning gold. The Maldivian light had a quality that felt ancient and absolute, illuminating the water until it looked less like a liquid and more like a polished, shifting gemstone. Inside the villa, the air was heavy with the salt mist of the lagoon and the faint, sweet scent of the white orchid I had left for her.Katia stood at the edge of the glass floor, staring out at the horizon. I walked up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waist, my palms flat against her stomach. She did not tense; she leaned back into me. I began tracing kisses along the column of her throat, feeling the pulse there jump. She turned in my arms, and the air between us tightened.I did not wait. I lifted her, her legs locking around my waist, and lowered us both onto the glass floor itself. Beneath us, the lagoon was alive, a slow, dark parade of fish circling in the deep.I kissed her, my mouth hard again
My Accidental Billionaire Husband What I Took From You
~Julian~I woke before she did, the way I always woke before she did, and lay there for a long time looking at the ceiling instead of at her.I had fucked up yesterday.I knew exactly what I had done and exactly why I had done it, and neither piece of that knowledge made the act itself any less wrong. She was my wife. I had known it for months, carried that knowledge through every meeting and every dinner and every night I spent in her bed without telling her the one thing that would have explained all of it. She did not know. She had no idea that the man lying beside her in this villa had a marriage certificate with her name on it locked away in a private vault in Manhattan, a ring he had been carrying since before she knew what his face looked like in daylight.She only knew Jules as a name from seven years ago, a shape, an absence.So when I found out she was sitting in Jude Wolfe's suite, telling him she wanted to give him a chance, something in me had simply stopped operating on
My Accidental Billionaire Husband The Alliance of the Weak
~Delia~I had to bribe the receptionist at the Sterling Motorsports executive suite three thousand dollars just to get past the elevator bay.My hands were shaking as I gripped the strap of my Chanel bag. I was a Kensington, but right now, I felt like a beggar. I was practically a ghost in Julian's
My Accidental Billionaire Husband Dust and Pride
~Julian~I had known for three days.Sam had not told me—Sam was way too loyal to Katia in a way that ran deeper than employment, and she would not have said a word even if I had asked directly. But I had my own network, and the underground circuit was a world I had been part of for fifteen years,
My Accidental Billionaire Husband The Challenge from the Dark
~Katia~I heard about it from my crew before I heard about it anywhere else.That was how the underground circuit worked. News moved through it the way it moved through any closed community—fast, word of mouth, encrypted channels, and the network of people who had been in the same world long enough
My Accidental Billionaire Husband The Corporate Infiltration
~Katia~My thighs were screaming.Every step I took down the polished concrete corridor of the IG Technologies executive floor was a reminder of the violent, relentless way Julian had claimed me against the mahogany desk yesterday afternoon. My hips were bruised, the skin on my waist carried the da
