Julian

She was eating when I came back downstairs.

Sitting at the kitchen table with a plate in front of her, having the composure of someone who had decided that eating was the correct response to having just sat through that sitting room. The Kensingtons had gone. Grandma and Gail had taken Aiden somewhere in the house. It was just Delia and the plate and the kitchen and me.

I pulled out the chair across from her and sat down.

She looked up and I looked at her.

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    That Her Penthouse

    DeliaThe invitation arrived on my phone while I was sitting across from my mother in her sunroom, the porcelain teacup balanced on its saucer the way she insisted it always be balanced, handle facing exactly the same direction as the spoon.I read it twice before I said anything."Katia is inviting everyone to dinner," I said, setting my phone face down on the table beside my own untouched tea. "Tonight. Her penthouse.""Oh?" Mama said, not looking up from whatever she was doing to her own cup, stirring sugar she did not need into tea she had been drinking the same way for thirty years."I wonder why she wants us all there," I said. "Whether she just wants to flaunt the fact that she has more money than me. Show off the view, the floors, whatever new piece of art she's bought since the last time any of us were allowed inside."Martha laughed, a small, dismissive sound that landed harder than she probably meant it to, or perhaps exactly as hard as she meant it to. With my mother it wa

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    He is not your husband

    KatiaThe smell of coffee turned my stomach the moment I stepped into the kitchen, which made no sense at all, since I had been drinking the same brand every morning for the better part of a decade.I stood at the counter and stared at the machine like it had personally betrayed me, then gave up and poured myself a glass of water instead, holding it against my lips longer than I drank from it, waiting for the wave behind my ribs to settle before it climbed any higher.This was the third morning in a row.I told myself it was the flight back from the Maldives. Recycled air, pressurized cabins, and the kind of low-grade nausea that came from sitting in a metal tube for fourteen hours and pretending it was relaxing because the water below happened to be turquoise. I told myself it was the wine at dinner the night before, even though I had barely finished half a glass before pushing the rest away, the smell of it suddenly wrong in a way I could not name.I told myself a lot of things that

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    Not About Katia

    ~Jude~I stepped out of the Obsidian Lounge into the cold night air and walked half a block before I trusted my hands enough to pull out my phone.The street was mostly empty at this hour, just the occasional taxi sliding past and a doorman two buildings down stamping his feet against the cold. I leaned against the stone facade of a closed boutique and tried to slow my breathing before I dialed, because I did not want him to hear anything in my voice that he could use against me later.I dialed the number from memory. I had never saved it under a name, never trusted a phone enough to leave a trace of who he actually was, not after everything he had told me about the kind of people who might come looking if this arrangement ever unraveled in the wrong direction.It picked up on the second ring."Talk to me," the voice said."Windsor is not making this easy," I said, keeping my voice low, my eyes scanning the street out of habit more than necessity. "I think he might have a clue. About

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    Nice Dick

    JulianThe Obsidian Lounge smelled of leather and bourbon. This wasn’t a place people came to be seen; it was a spot for those who already owned enough of the world to skip the audience. Low lighting left dark shadows across the black stone bar top, where the amber liquid in our glasses reflected the overhead fixtures.I sat back, my hand resting loosely around a glass of neat Macallan 25, watching Wolfe try to fit himself into the scenery. He vibrated with a restless, hungry energy that the elite of Manhattan spent lifetimes learning to hide. He was a man trying to colonize a room that had been settled long before his ancestors learned to read a ledger."You’ve been quiet tonight, Windsor," Jude said, leaning a forearm against the bar. He swirled his ice, the clink of crystal against glass. "A bit detached for a man who just spent three days on a private island with my wife.""I am never detached, Jude," I replied, my voice level. "I am simply observant."He let out a dry, humorless

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    The Other Hand

    ~Julian~Martha opened the first box like a woman unwrapping something she had been promised in a dream for years and had stopped believing would actually arrive.Inside sat a crystal decanter set, hand-cut, the kind of thing that belonged in a museum case more than a liquor cabinet, and she made a small, delighted sound that David echoed a moment later when his own box revealed a set of cufflinks I recognized immediately as a brand that did not produce anything under five figures.Delia's box held a bracelet.I watched her open it with the same careful expression she had been wearing all evening, turning the thin gold chain over in her fingers, murmuring something polite and entirely hollow in Jude's direction. She did not look at me while she said it. I did not need her to. I understood exactly what this gift was costing her, watching a man she had no real claim to perform generosity in a room where she had spent two years receiving nothing at all from the man whose name she actuall

  • My Accidental Billionaire Husband    Have I Ever

    ~Katia~The boxes sat unopened on the low table near the window for most of dinner, a kind of silent centerpiece nobody seemed willing to address directly until the main course had been cleared and the wine had loosened something in the room.It was David, surprisingly, who brought it back up."So," he said, gesturing vaguely toward the boxes with his glass, "are we opening those tonight or saving the suspense?""After dessert," Martha said quickly, the way a woman protected a moment she had been planning all day.Delia set her fork down with more force than the gesture required."I still want to know," she said, her voice carrying just enough edge to make David glance at her, "what Julian brought."The table went quiet.Martha's eyes moved to Julian with the same bright, expectant interest she had shown at the front door, as though she believed enough silence might still produce a different answer than the one he had already given her."I told your mother already," Julian said, setti

    ~Katia~The board meeting had been running for two hours when my phone lit up.I did not check it immediately. I was mid-sentence about the government contract renewal timeline, and Marcus was taking notes, and Sam was on my left, and the room was full, and I finished what I was saying before I loo

    ~Julian~I drove to the estate at noon.I had not called ahead. I did not need to. Grandma Celeste was always there and always available to me, and there were conversations that needed to happen in person, and this was one of them.She was in the sitting room when I arrived. She looked up when I wa

    ~Katia~The filing landed at eight AM.Not as a call. Not as a message from Marcus.

    ~Julian~I cancelled everything on Sunday morning.Not for any reason I could fully articulate. I woke up at seven and looked at the calendar and thought about the calls and the strategy sessions and the legal briefs waiting on my desk, and I picked up my phone and cancelled all of it.
