~Julian~

My glass did not survive the broadcast.

I was sitting in my biometric-locked study at the Windsor estate, a heavy crystal tumbler of neat, single-malt scotch in my hand, when the screen flickered. I wasn't alone. Zane was leaning against the mahogany bookcase near the window, a folder of the Grand Prix logistics in his hands, his face tight with the same silent, simmering frustration that had been keeping both of us awake for forty-eight hours.

I don’t know about this story but it’s sad to play with people’s feelings

  • 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

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    After the Door Closed

    Noah’s POVI stared at my father standing in the middle of my living room like he still owned the air in it.“Get out,” I said. My voice came out low and flat. “Leave. Now.”Father wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and looked at me like I was a mild inconvenience.“You don’t get to order me—”“I do in this house.” I stepped closer. “You told me to marry her. I did. But I did not marry her so I could divorce her the second you decided she was no longer useful. She is my wife. She stays. You leave.”For a second something ugly flickered across his face. Then he simply turned, walked to the door, and left. The door shut hard behind him.Silence dropped over the room.Delia stood a few feet away, one hand still pressed to her cheek where he had hit her. The skin was already pink and starting to darken. Her eyes were wide and wet, but she wasn’t crying. She was just looking at me like she wasn’t sure what version of me she was seeing.I crossed the spac

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    The Intrusion

    Delia’s POVThe doorbell rang just after eleven.I was in the kitchen rinsing the last of the breakfast plates, still wearing one of Noah’s shirts because it was the first thing I had grabbed that morning. My hair was loose. No makeup. The kind of ordinary domestic mess that still felt new enough to be fragile. I dried my hands on a towel and went to answer it without thinking twice.Elliot stood on the other side of the door.He looked exactly the same as the last time I had seen him—expensive suit, cold eyes, that half-smile that never reached anywhere real. He took one look at me in Noah’s shirt, and the smirk deepened.He walked past me into the house like he owned the floor under his feet.“So,” he said, glancing around the entryway, “you are fucking this reject?”My stomach dropped. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. The words sat somewhere behind my teeth, stuck.Noah came out of the hallway before I could find an answer. He must have heard the doorbell too. He stopped de

  • 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

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband     Pregnant

    ~Katia~I woke up to the sour taste of bile creeping up my throat, and my legs threw me out of bed before my brain could even catch up. The morning light seared into my eyes like punishment, and I stumbled across the cold floor, my feet slapping against the wood, straight into the bathroom. My knee
