Jack made it downstairs in six seconds.

His hair was bouncing over his head as he hopped the last two steps, the sleeves of his shirt unevenly rolled, his tie hanging around his neck like he put it on while flying down the stairs.

“Uhn! Fuck!” he hissed when his pinky toe slammed into the stair corner. He stumbled but kept going, skipping toward me.

The car keys jingled in his hand as he tried to shove his left foot into a shoe without any socks on.

I sucked the inside of my cheek and let out a tired sigh.

“You didn’t button your shirt right,” I pointed out as he finally reached me.

He glanced down, grunted. “Shit. Yeah.”

Then he unbuttoned the whole thing and shrugged it off like it was nothing, like exposing his toned upper body in front of me wouldn’t make a dysfunction in my system.

I looked away instantly, bracing myself against the doorway.

“Okay, we’re good,” he muttered, now fully dressed again, then gestured the way out if the house as if this was some sacred ritual he had to

  • Seducing My Own Billionaire Husband   Chapter 68

    I didn’t get any sleep last night.I only remember how Jack comforted me in silence—he didn’t ask me anything. He knew I needed space, needed peace. I remembered staring at the ceiling, drowning in my thought.I was pulled from my flooding worries when Jack stepped out of the bathroom. The inviting scent of his aftershave, fresh from the shower, spread across the room.He quietly marched to the walk-in closet, thinking I was asleep.The truth was, I didn’t even know if I slept at all.I pushed the covers off me, smoothing my tangled bed hair as I followed him toward the closet.The sight of Jack with nothing but a towel wrapped low around his waist as he chose clothes from the wardrobe welcomed me.But I stole his attention.“Hey…” he greeted, instantly focusing on me. “Morning.” He approached, reached for my hand, and pulled me close.“I just woke up. I haven’t taken a shower,” I said, hesitant, careful with the distance between us.“Hm…” He kissed my temple anyway and wrapped his ar

  • Seducing My Own Billionaire Husband   Chapter 67

    In no time, we were rushing out of the house after receiving Dad’s frantic call that Mom was in the hospital.“Dad?” I called the moment I spotted him in the hallway, slumped on a chair with his head bowed—almost in between his knees, obviously confused of what was happening.When he heard my voice, he let out a shaky sigh, as if seeing me might somehow hold everything together.“What happened?” I asked, my fingers tightening around the hem of my blouse, my heartbeat thundering so loudly it filled my ears.Jack stood quietly behind me, close enough that I could feel him there as my backbone for whatever truth was about to be revealed.Dad stood up and rubbed his palm over his forehead. His eyes were rimmed red, swollen like he’d been holding back tears for hours, forcing them down, and keeping his man up.“I…” He shook his head. “We had a fight. I was upset. I—I yelled at her. We were screaming at each other.” His voice cracked. “And your mom suddenly left the house this morning. No e

  • Seducing My Own Billionaire Husband   Chapter 66

    I closed my eyes as a kiss brushed my bare neck, warm, and it lingered, while I dragged the brush through my hair. My thoughts floated somewhere far away from my head.There was a dull ache poking at my heart as memories replayed. I thought maybe if I’d had more time, I would’ve taken her hand and let her speak.Or maybe not.I was hurt that she’d made the very choice she’d raised me never to make. But what hurt more was knowing my father was still completely in the dark.How had she even gotten close to Douglas? My mother chose her circles carefully. Apparently, it only ever depended on who could benefit her most.“You’re zoning out,” Jack murmured, his arms slipping around my waist from behind, hugging me from behind. “You’re thinking about what happened, aren’t you?”His warmth pulled me back before my thoughts could go deeper.Whenever Jack was close, I felt safe. I felt… home.“Mom never begged for anything,” I whispered, the image of her gripping my wrist flashing behind my eyes

  • Seducing My Own Billionaire Husband   Chapter 65

    My fingers tightened around the edge of the table as my mother laughed.Laughed.As if she hadn’t just detonated my entire night by walking in on the arm of the very man I least expected her to be with.My mother—a perfectionist. A woman who would never associate herself with anyone she deemed tainted, people she called born by mistake, raised by failure, living poorly.She drilled it into my head for years: never do anything stupid that would ruin our family’s name. Never taint the hard work she and my father poured into raising us.And yet—here she was.Doing the exact thing she had warned me against almost my entire life.Douglas De Loughrey leaned closer to her, murmuring something in her ear. She tilted her head, smiling softly and almost shy. As if whatever he said had stirred butterflies in her stomach.I knew my mother had a sharp tongue. I always believed my parents had the strongest relationship—flawed, yes, but unbreakable beneath the manners that tortured everyone who brea

    “What? I already said I’m sorry, okay?” Jack grumbled as I glared at him from the passenger seat, his hands tight around the steering wheel while he drove us home.“You can’t just take jealousy away from a man. Especially when… Arthur’s—well, he was more of an ideal man than me. But I’m more handsome, obviously," he added in mutter.I wasn’t even saying a word, but he was too guilty to let the silence go. He kept stewing over what had happened, irritated with himself for being jealous and even more irritated that he couldn’t stop.“Other than that, he was the original guy who liked you. Not me. I was just the second guy, and…” He trailed off, exhaling heavily. “Sorry,” he muttered, his voice dropping as he stole a quick glance at me—only to find me staring at him the entire time.I wasn’t tired. Just… amused. Watching him sulk like a jealous high school boy was strangely entertaining.“And who the hell was that Brian anyway?” he suddenly snapped, his frustration bubbling back up. “Why

  • Seducing My Own Billionaire Husband   Chapter 63

    Arthur had been an orphan for most of his life until the Winehouses decided to take him in as part of their family, and that was a story that had already been told countless times.He had accepted that version of his life long ago, to the point where he found peace in the life he was given and the one he built for himself.But fate and destiny had a way of interfering when things were finally calm.“If she really is your mother, give her a chance to prove it. Give her a chance to explain herself,” I said after hearing everything that had been weighing on him. “Everyone has their own story to tell. You’re a great man, Arthur—a very understanding one. You’ll get through this,” I urged softly.He sat on the single red couch, elbows resting on his knees, staring down at his half‑drunk coffee as if the answers might be hiding at the bottom of the cup.“Everyone has a choice,” I continued. “Sometimes they choose right. Sometimes…” I hesitated. “…they choose something that causes pain. I’m s
