“Crazy. Just… plainly but massively crazy dog crap,” Victoria sighed in distress, like my problem had personally offended her.

Strangely enough, I was calmer than she was. Way calmer than I’d expected myself to be.

“It’s showing, and you’re still too slow to get it. Your man is doing everything just to baby you, little sweet,” she went on, slicing the air with her hands, her freshly painted nails flashing under the sunlight. “He would move mountains just to prioritize your security. Let heaven and earth collide and you’ll still be safe. Always.”

I told her everything that had happened over the past week, because if there was one person I trusted enough to unload on, it was Victoria. She’d always claimed she was good at keeping secrets, and so far, she hadn’t proven me wrong.

Right now, my mind was a mess of worries. Not because of Douglas’s threat. Not even because of Anna... It was Jack.

Or rather, how busy he’d been.

It made me feel lonely in this quiet, aching way but at the same t

  • Seducing My Own Billionaire Husband   Chapter 70

    I felt the heat of the sun on my skin as I stood by the balcony of the hotel Jack had meticulously chosen, all for this view.From where I stood, I could hear the steady hush of the waves below, catch the salty scent of the sea, and sense the buzz of people enjoying their vacation.I should be enjoying this too. Jack brought us here so we could leave our worries behind, even if just for a moment. But somehow, they still found me. They always did.I let out a soft gasp when a pair of arms slipped around my waist, then relaxed instantly the moment I recognized the familiar hold.“Welcome to Rio de Janeiro,” he whispered near my ear before kissing it. “They say the hottest people in the world live here, but I think they got it wrong, because the hottest person I know came from Queens.”I rolled my eyes, a quiet chuckle slipping out. “Peter Parker or Daredevil?”“Not that hot red,” he laughed. “Scarlet Spider, actually.”I elbowed him lightly. It barely affected him—he just laughed it off

  • 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
