“Where you look like you have something to say but decide against saying it."

A faint smile touched his lips. "Perhaps I simply have nothing to say."

I narrowed my eyes. "You're very annoying."

"I've been told."

I looked away, pretending to be interested in the television.

The truth was, I didn't particularly enjoy discussing Nathan. Not because I still wanted him, but because there were things I hadn't entirely worked through.

The humiliation. The betrayal. The years I had spent convincing myse

  • My Ruthless Billionaire Husband Wants An Open Marriage    The Man Behind the Assistant

    In fact, I was beginning to enjoy myself."Your wife seems rather knowledgeable," Mr Whitmore remarked when Julian returned.I smiled, ignoring what he had just called me. "I'd like to think so."Julian glanced at me. "She usually knows exactly what she's talking about.""Usually?" I repeated.He gave me an innocent expression. "Would you prefer always?""Much better."Mr Whitmore laughed.I was beginning to understand something about Julian. He knew when to speak, when to remain quiet and, more importantly, how to make people feel comfortable without appearing desperate for their approval.It was a skill I hadn't expected from someone who supposedly worked as my personal assistant.Before I could dwell on it, a familiar voice interrupted us."Well, if it isn't my wife."I turned. Nathan stood before us, the blonde woman still holding his arm. His expression carried that familiar, infuriating confidence."Good evening, Nathan."His eyes moved towards Julian. "Vance.""Hayes."Nathan

    “Where you look like you have something to say but decide against saying it."A faint smile touched his lips. "Perhaps I simply have nothing to say."I narrowed my eyes. "You're very annoying.""I've been told."I looked away, pretending to be interested in the television.The truth was, I didn't particularly enjoy discussing Nathan. Not because I still wanted him, but because there were things I hadn't entirely worked through.The humiliation. The betrayal. The years I had spent convincing myself that if I tried a little harder, perhaps things would improve.I didn't want to revisit any of it. Especially not with Julian. Thankfully, my phone vibrated before either of us could continue the conversation.I reached for it. An invitation had arrived in my email. It was from the Sterling Foundation, inviting me to an exclusive charity reception scheduled for the following weekend. The event would bring together several prominent business figures, philanthropists and members of New York's h

  • My Ruthless Billionaire Husband Wants An Open Marriage    More Than an Arrangement

    Author’s POVHe remembered the way she had looked at him when he approached her. Calm. Unbothered. Almost dismissive. It was infuriating.For years, he had known exactly how to get a reaction from her. A cold remark, an unanswered call or a few carefully chosen words had always been enough.Now, she barely seemed interested. And Julian was encouraging it. Nathan turned away from the window. "Richard.""Yes?""I want a complete background check on Julian Vance. His family, his finances, his education, previous employment, business associations. Everything." Richard nodded. "Understood."Nathan returned to his desk and picked up the tablet, “"And Richard?”The associate paused at the door. "Yes, sir?"Nathan's expression was cold. "Find out everything there is to know about that man. I don't care how long it takes or who you have to speak to."Richard gave a short nod. "I'll get on it immediately."The door closed behind him. Nathan remained seated, staring at the tablet without actuall

  • My Ruthless Billionaire Husband Wants An Open Marriage    A Husband’s Displeasure

    Author's POVNathan Hayes hated being ignored. It was an unpleasant feeling, one he had rarely experienced in his life. People usually waited for his attention, sought his approval and made considerable efforts to remain in his good graces. He was accustomed to being the most important man in any room he entered.Yet, for the better part of the evening, his wife had managed to make him feel entirely irrelevant. He stood near the bar, his fingers wrapped around a glass of whiskey, watching Audrey laugh at something Julian had whispered into her ear.Again. His jaw tightened.There was something particularly irritating about the sight. Audrey had always been beautiful, but lately, she seemed determined to remind everyone of it. She wore expensive dresses with effortless confidence, carried herself differently and spoke to influential people without constantly looking towards him for approval.And Julian Vance was always there. Nathan took a long drink. He had expected Audrey to put up a

  • My Ruthless Billionaire Husband Wants An Open Marriage    A Crack in His Composure

    We continued around the ballroom, and Julian introduced me to several other executives. This time, I found myself leading most of the conversations.I discussed investment opportunities, challenged a few assumptions and exchanged contact details with two potential business partners.It was strange how quickly things could change when people finally decided to listen. For years, I had attended these events as Nathan's wife. People knew my surname, recognised my face and occasionally complimented my appearance.But very few had ever bothered to ask what I thought about anything. Tonight, they were asking. And I intended to make the most of it."You're doing well," Julian said when we finally found ourselves beside one of the marble pillars."I know."He laughed. "There's that modesty again.""I prefer confidence." I winked, feeling more playful than usual. Clearly."I took a sip of champagne, my gaze wandering across the ballroom. And then I saw him.Nathan.He stood near the entrance

  • My Ruthless Billionaire Husband Wants An Open Marriage    The Gala

    The days went by quickly and soon the night of the gala had arrived. I was standing in front of the mirror, my hands adjusting the dress that wrapped around me elegantly while thinking of the show I was about to put on for the world. The media, the businessmen, the people, everybody would be watching. I clutched the purse in my hands tighter, scanning the dress again to make sure it was perfect. It was only when I was sure that I left the room to go to the living room. I found Julian standing by the windows, his eyes searching as if he was looking for something. He must have been lost in thought because he didn’t notice when I walked in.He only turned around when I cleared my throat. His eyes dropped slowly over what I wore, scanning it and I felt my cheeks get hot with shyness. I didn’t know why, nothing ever made me shy. He came closer, “I mean, I’ve seen you in the dress before but you look…” he trailed off, looking at me before shaking his head. “Beautiful”I felt myself blink
