~Katia~

I had watched it four times.

The broadcast had cut into regular programming at nine seventeen PM. Sam had been standing at my desk when it happened, both of us mid-sentence about the Grand Prix security protocols, and then her phone had buzzed and she had looked at the screen and said Katia in a voice that made me stop talking immediately.

We had watched it on the office television.

A man at a podium. Dark suit. British accent, low and unhurried, the kind of voice that did not need volu

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband     The Enemy Declared

    ~Julian~The heavy oak front doors of the Windsor family mansion shut behind me, the deep, resonant thud vibrating through the stone lobby like a physical punctuation mark.I stood in the foyer, my boots planted on the polished wood floor, my hands still shoved deep inside my trouser pockets. My knuckles were clenched so tight inside that the dry, stiff blood on my palm from yesterday's shattered glass began to ache again. I didn't care. The adrenaline was a hot, rushing static in my veins, making my chest rise and fall in heavy, deliberate breaths.Outside, the sound of the silver Porsche and the four black SUVs reversing down the gravel driveway faded into the distance. Jude Wolfe was gone, but the scent of his expensive, cold British cologne and the sheer, staggering audacity of his claim still felt heavy in the cool air of my house.I turned slowly, my eyes scanning the high, vaulted arches of the lobby.Grandma Celeste was standing near the entrance of the formal morning room. Sh

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband     The Sovereign Claim

    ~Julian~The highway back to the Windsor family mansion was a blur of grey tarmac and cold morning mist.My knuckles were white against the steering wheel, the dry, stiff blood on my palm from the shattered crystal yesterday cracking and pinching with every turn. I didn't feel it. I didn't care. My mind was still trapped in the dark of Katia’s penthouse, the phantom scent of her skin and the heat of our desperate collision still heavy in my throat. I had left her at five AM, slipping out before the city lights could fade into the pale, indifferent dawn.The security gates of the Windsor family mansion opened, the massive iron bars parting to welcome me back to the fortress. I parked the car in the private garage, not bothering to take my coat, and walked inside. The massive stone hallways were smelling of old wood, beeswax, and the deep, centuries-old silence that only wealth could buy.I walked straight down the west corridor, my boots making no sound against the thick Persian rugs,

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    The Boundaries of Possession

    ~Julian~I held her against my chest, the slow, rhythmic crawl of her breathing the only movement in the quiet dark of the living room.I hadn’t known she wanted me this badly. I hadn't realized the desperation ran this deep under that icy corporate skin of hers. The way she had demanded to know where I was on the phone, the raw, biting panic in her voice—it was the sound of a woman terrified that I had walked away. Terrified that I had gone somewhere she couldn't reach me.I had taken my time getting to her penthouse today. I had done it deliberately. With Jude Wolfe’s broadcast still vibrating through the city’s media networks, I had wanted to see what she would do. I wanted to see if she would panic and run to the British motherfucker claiming to be her husband. I had waited, my hands tight on the steering wheel, testing the limits of her loyalty.But she hadn't run to him. She had called me. And the second she saw me standing in her foyer, she had stripped herself bare and fucked

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband     Is He With Delia?

    ~Katia~The elevator doors had barely slid open before I was pacing the hardwood of my penthouse living room.I hadn’t changed out of my racing gear. The custom, sleek one-piece black leather racing jumpsuit was still hugged tight to my body like a second skin, carrying the faint, metallic scent of the track and my own sharp sweat. The adrenaline from the Grand Prix was still vibrating violently in my veins, but it had turned sour, curdling into a dark, restless anxiety that made my chest feel like it was trapped under a lead weight.I walked straight to the bar. My hands were still trembling as I grabbed the heavy crystal decanter, pouring a double shot of neat scotch into a glass.I drank it in one go.The alcohol hit the back of my throat like liquid fire, burning its way down to my stomach, but it did nothing to quiet the rushing static in my head. I checked the time on my phone.Where the hell was he?He had told me he slept where I slept. He had claimed my space, my bed, and my

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    Forbidden Fruits

    ~Katia~"Fuck!"I screamed the word, the raw, vibrating fury tearing from my throat as I threw my blacked-out helmet visor against the concrete wall of my Brooklyn penthouse garage. The heavy, shatterproof plastic hit the brick with a sharp, echoing crack, bouncing wildly across the polished floor before finally coming to a rest near a stack of spare Pirelli slick tires.Sam jumped nearly a foot into the air, her stylus slipping from her fingers and clattering against the screen of her iPad. She quickly recovered, pressing a hand to her chest as she exhaled a long, shaky breath. "Jesus, Katia! My heart can't take this. You won the race. You literally just embarrassed the entire Sterling Motorsports legacy on national television. Why are you so mad?"She walked over, her heels clicking softly against the concrete as she bent down to pick up the scratched black visor. She swiped her thumb across a new scuff mark on the plastic, tapping her stylus against the iPad screen with her other h

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    The Brooklyn Grand Prix

    ~Julian~I found my spot in the WEG hospitality suite before the grid opened.Floor-to-ceiling glass overlooking the entire circuit. Coffee I was not drinking. A press credential that gave me access to every level of the event and which I had used to position myself exactly where I needed to be—high enough to see everything and close enough to move fast if I needed to.The Brooklyn Grand Prix exhibition had drawn forty thousand people to the waterfront.The grid was legitimate—professional GT machinery, exhibition drivers, and the kind of event that existed at the intersection of motorsport and spectacle. IG Technologies logos on every barrier, every screen, every piece of branded architecture along the circuit. Katia's company was everywhere you looked.Katia was not on the official grid.She was not supposed to be here as a driver.I had seen the Valkyrie arrive at the service entrance at six forty-five AM, three hours before the gates opened, brought in under a logistics van cover
