My Accidental Billionaire Husband David Breaks Ranks
~Katia~My father called ahead, which was how I knew it was serious.David Kensington did not call ahead. He showed up at family events my mother had organised, at dinners that were really ambushes, and at the charity gala with his glass of something he nursed all evening and his habit of standing slightly outside whatever circle he was in. He arrived as part of a unit and departed the same way. He did not call ahead and ask, in a voice that was careful in a way his voice was not usually careful, whether he could come to my office on Thursday morning."Just me," he said on the phone. "Not your mother.""Okay," I said."Is that alright?""Yes, Dad. It's alright."He arrived at ten past ten. Sam showed him in with the quiet professionalism she applied to everything, and he came through the door in his good coat, the one he wore for occasions, and looked around my office the way people looked at things they had heard about and were now seeing for the first time. The view, the space, and
My Accidental Billionaire Husband She Can't Sleep
~Katia~3 AM.I knew the time before I looked at my phone because 3 AM had its own specific quality in this apartment, the particular depth of quiet, the way the city noise reduced to almost nothing without quite reaching silence, and the way the darkness sat differently than at midnight or 2 AM. I had been awake at 3 AM enough times to know it by feel.I got up. No point lying there. I had been conducting a largely unsuccessful negotiation with sleep for the past two hours, and sleep was winning by simply refusing to show up.The kitchen was cold in the way kitchens were cold at 3 AM. I turned on the small light above the stove, enough to see by but not enough to feel like I was committing to wakefulness, and I got the cereal from the cupboard and the milk from the fridge, and I sat on the counter the way I had been sitting on counters since I was a child, back against the cupboard, legs dangling, bowl in hand.I ate three spoonfuls.Then I opened my laptop.I told myself I was going
My Accidental Billionaire Husband The Question
~Katia~I made pasta because it was Tuesday, and on Tuesdays I made pasta, and Aiden expected it. The routine was one of the things I had built into our life—not rigidity, but anchor points, small reliable things that said this is stable, this is ours, and nothing has changed.I stood at the stove and stirred and listened to Aiden in the bathroom running the tap for longer than necessary, which meant he was looking at something in the mirror or thinking about something while the water ran, both of which were habits he had developed independently and which I had learned not to interrupt.He came to the table in his pajamas with his hair damp and his face clean and that particular expression he wore when he had been thinking about something specific and had decided dinner was the right time to raise it.I put the pasta down. I sat across from him. I poured his water and my wine, and we both started eating, and I waited because with Aiden you always waited. He would get there in his own
My Accidental Billionaire Husband Julian Meets Aiden (His Version)
~Julian~I noticed the boy before I saw Katia.That was the order of it, and I have gone back to that detail more times than I would admit to anyone, the sequence, the fact that my attention went to the child first. Not because he was loud or demanding or doing anything that would have drawn notice in a normal sense. He was doing the opposite. He was moving through the showcase with the focus of someone who had come to learn something and was going about it properly, and that quality of focused stillness in a child that age was unusual enough that it caught the eye before the mind understood why.I was at the simulator making an adjustment to the display settings when I heard him stop beside me.I looked up.Dark curls. Sharp jaw. Seven years old at most, in a small blazer that he had clearly put on deliberately, with the look of someone who had assessed the occasion and dressed accordingly. He was looking at the simulator with focus and interest, like someone evaluating a piece of eq
My Accidental Billionaire Husband Aiden and Julian Meet Officially
~Katia~The WEG-IG tech showcase was Sam's idea, which meant it was well-organized, well-catered, and had a guest list that made sense. Families were invited, a move on the joint communications team's part to humanize both companies in the coverage, to show the people behind the systems rather than just the systems. It was good strategy. I had approved it three weeks ago and not thought about it again until this morning when Sam reminded me it was today and asked if I was bringing Aiden.Aiden had been asking about the WEG-IG project for months in the way he asked about things that interested him consistently, specifically, returning to the same questions from different angles until he had assembled a complete enough picture to satisfy himself. He knew about the Invisible Shield architecture because he had read the press release and then asked me to explain the parts the press release simplified. He knew about the Dubai expansion because he had found the board summary in my bag and re
My Accidental Billionaire Husband The Seraphina Distraction
~Julian~Seraphina answered on the third ring, which meant she had seen my name and made me wait two rings longer than necessary, which was her way of establishing that she was doing me a favor and not the other way around. It was a small performance, and I had long since stopped finding it interesting."Julian." Her voice was the particular warm-and-cool combination she had perfected for people she wanted things from. "It's been a while.""Two months.""I know how long it's been." She took a moment that was designed to feel loaded. "What do you need?"This was what I appreciated about Seraphina when I appreciated anything about her—she dispensed with the social architecture quickly when it suited her. We had a working arrangement that predated Delia and had continued alongside the marriage with the same clean transactional logic it had always operated on. Seraphina was a model, just like Chloe; a public figure; and a woman who understood that visibility was currency. I occasionally p
