Emily’s POV

By nine-thirty, the estate kitchen was finally back in order. Two amused housekeepers had swept up the flour, Pierre had returned with a relieved sigh to brew fresh chamomile tea, and Julian—completely wiped out from throwing baking powder at his billionaire father—had crashed out in his bedroom upstairs.

I helped Daniel limp down the quiet, carpeted hallway of the East Wing toward the guest suite, his right hand leaning heavily on his wooden cane while his left arm rested in its da

    Emily’s POV"Thomas," Daniel said into the Maybach's intercom, his voice smooth and commanding. "Make a stop at the Fifth Avenue showroom before we hit The Grand Carlton.""Right away, Mr. Walker," Thomas replied smoothly.I looked down at my fitted cream sweater and dark denim jeans, then back at Daniel's tailored charcoal suit. "Daniel? We’re already running on time. Why are we stopping at Fifth Avenue?"Daniel turned his silver eyes toward me, a slow, dangerous smirk playing on his lips. He reached across the leather seats, taking my hand and lacing his calloused fingers with mine."My ex-wife and your pathetic new step-father think they invited us to a power play," Daniel murmured, his raspy voice dropping an octave as he raised my hand to his lips, kissing my knuckles soft and lingering. "You are not walking into that restaurant looking like a finance student who just finished a study group, little bird. You are walking in looking like the future mistress of the Walker empire."T

  • Behind Closed Doors   Chapter 116: The fucked up Family Tree

    Emily’s POV"He’s not actually smiling, right?" Julian whispered, slowly backing away from the white leather sofa like his dad was a live bomb about to detonate. "Mom, why is Dad smiling like that?""It’s his scary billionaire face, buddy," I whispered back, my own heart hammering against my ribs.Daniel set the TV remote down on the marble coffee table with a tiny, terrifyingly soft clack. He reached out, took his mug of hot chocolate, and took a calm, measured sip like his ex-wife hadn't just married his sworn corporate enemy on national television."Julian," Daniel said, his voice terrifyingly smooth. "Go upstairs and finish your Star Wars Lego set.""Are we going to war, Dad?" Julian asked, his eyes wide."No, son," Daniel rasped out, his dark silver eyes flashing with icy amusement. "We are going to let them celebrate for about twelve hours before I strip them of every asset they own. Now go to bed.""Okay!" Julian scrambled off the rug, grabbing his giant plush dragon and sprint

  • Behind Closed Doors   Chapter 115: MY MUM GOT MARRIED TO ADRIAN COLE!!!

    Emily’s POV"Call Grace," Daniel repeated to Maya, his voice dropping into that terrifyingly quiet tone he used when he was about to ruin someone's entire corporate life. "Tell her I want Adrian’s bail terms audited before the sun comes up tomorrow.""Right away, Mr. Walker," Maya said, stepping back into the security office and pulling out her encrypted phone.The mood in the grand foyer had gone from warm and cozy to colder than a Greenwich winter in about three seconds. The white cardboard box containing Adrian's twelve red roses sat on the entryway table like a biohazard.Julian looked up from his giant plush dragon, his sharp little brow furrowing as he looked back and forth between his father and me. "Is Adrian coming back here?""No, buddy," I said quickly, forcing a soft, reassuring smile onto my face as I squeezed his hand. "He's just being an annoying bug. Why don't you take the dragon upstairs and show Chef Pierre your prize tickets before dinner?""Okay," Julian muttered,

  • Behind Closed Doors   Chapter 114: Arcade Date and a Staycation Promise

    Emily’s POV"Dad! Emily! Hurry up!" Julian shouted from the bottom of the grand staircase, his voice echoing through the foyer. "If we don't leave right now, all the good prize machines are going to be taken!""We're coming, Julian!" I called back, quickly pulling my hair up into a high ponytail.I turned back to the bedroom mirror, smoothing down my fitted cream sweater and dark denim jeans. Before I could grab my purse from the dresser, two large, warm hands slid around my waist from behind.Daniel pulled me back against his chest, burying his face into the crook of my neck. He smelled like expensive cologne and fresh mint, and his broad chest felt solid and warm through his dark wool sweater."I am officially scheduling a staycation," Daniel growled low in my ear, his raspy voice sending a shiver straight down my spine. "A full weekend at my private cabin in Aspen. Just you, me, locked doors, and no twelve-year-old pounding on the wood at eight in the morning."I giggled, resting m

  • Behind Closed Doors   Chapter 113: Let me oil your cock with my pussy

    Emily’s POVThe laugh that burst out of me was loud enough to echo off the fresh marble, and I clapped both hands over my mouth, glancing instinctively toward the hallway. Julian’s room was two floors down and padded with thick carpet, but old habits died hard.“Daniel,” I whispered, stepping deeper into the candlelit room, “you are insane. What if Julian woke up?”“Julian sleeps like a rock, and his room is practically soundproofed.” Daniel patted the mattress again, his silver eyes tracking me like I was the only thing in the world worth watching. “Now. Are you going to play doctor, or do I have to self-prescribe?”I kicked off my slippers by the bedpost. The carpet was soft and warm under my bare feet, and the candle flames flickered little shadows across his bare chest. Four weeks of healing had done him favors—the bruises were gone, and the lean muscle had come back to his shoulders.“Fine,” I said, adopting my most serious voice. “But you have to be a good patient. That means fo

  • Behind Closed Doors   Chapter 112: Adrian Cole’s Visit and a Very Specific Prescription

    Emily’s POV"He did what?!" I gasped into the speakerphone, staring at Grace’s caller ID on the nightstand."He bribed a crooked specialist to forge a medical report claiming he has severe, chronic fainting spells from low blood pressure!" Grace’s voice echoed through the bedroom. "The judge actually signed off on an ankle-tracker release so he could visit specialized private clinics for treatment! He’s supposed to be going straight to the medical center, but his GPS shows he just took the turnoff for your estate!""The man is an absolute clown," Daniel grunted, his dark silver eyes rolling so hard I thought they might get stuck. He tried to sit up, but his broken ribs made him wince. "A fainting spell? Adrian Cole? He’s literally doing this just to be petty.""Wait, so he’s not escaping prison like a movie villain?" I asked, my mouth twitching as I looked at Daniel. "He just faked a dizzy spell to get out early?""Basically!" Grace sighed. "The ankle monitor is just on him so the cou
