ROSALIE

The afternoon sun poured through the massive glass windows of the executive floor, casting long, golden shadows across my desk. I stared at my computer screen, trying to focus on the endless rows of numbers in front of me, but my eyes kept blurring with fatigue. Every muscle in my back was aching. I hadn't eaten since yesterday evening, and the dull, throbbing headache behind my eyes was getting worse by the minute.

Over the past few days, despite the terrifying threat of the anonymous

  • Seducing The Nerdy Billionaire    Always here

    THIRD PERSON The evening sun was setting over the city skyline, casting long, orange shadows across the small living room. Jake sat on the soft cushions of the couch, watching Celine as she paced back and forth near the kitchen counter. Her shoulders were pulled up tight near her ears, her fingers twitching every few seconds as she stared at the dark screen of her smartphone.Jake let out a long, quiet sigh. He had known Celine for a very long time, and he could read her body language like an open book. Over the past few weeks, something fundamental about her had changed. She had become constantly jumpy, irritable over the smallest things, and completely distracted whenever they tried to spend a quiet evening together."Celine, please just sit down for a minute," Jake said softly, keeping his voice gentle and calm. "You've been pacing around this room for twenty minutes like a nervous cat."Celine flinched at the sound of his voice, turning her head quickly to glare at him. Her eyes

    CELINEThe bright afternoon sun poured through the glass windows of the small coffee shop near the corporate office, but I couldn't feel any of its warmth. Across the tiny wooden table, Rosalie was picking nervously at her half-eaten sandwich, her face pale and her eyes dark with exhaustion."I just don't know what I'm going to do if the hospital asks for another deposit next week, Celine," Rosalie whispered, her voice cracking slightly as she set her plastic fork down. She looked down at her hands, her knuckles white from squeezing them together. "The baseline care is covered for now, but the extra prescriptions for Zara's fever... they're so expensive. Every time I think I'm catching my breath, another bill pops up out of nowhere."I reached across the table, wrapping my warm fingers around her cold, trembling hand. I forced a soft, reassuring smile onto my face, squeezing her fingers gently."Hey, look at me, Rosa," I said, keeping my voice as steady and confident as a solid brick

  • Seducing The Nerdy Billionaire    Something real

    ROSALIE My cheeks burned so hot I thought my skin might actually melt off my face. My jaw dropped open, and I stared at my little sister in total, speech-slurred horror."Zara!" I gasped, my voice squeaking like a rusty door hinge as I threw a fast look over my shoulder toward the doorway.Elliot was still standing just outside the threshold, looking tall, polished, and completely out of place in the sterile, white hospital hallway. But when Zara asked her loud question, his dark eyes flicked over to me, and the tiny corner of his handsome mouth twitched into a quiet, amused smile. He didn't say a word. He just casually crossed his arms over his broad chest and let me suffer in my own humiliation."I am not talking about anyone!" I stammered, turning back to Zara and reaching down to pull her thin blanket up to her chin, trying desperately to cover up my bright red face. "He is my boss, Zara. My boss! He was just nice enough to drive me here because I was panicking about your fever."

    ROSALIEThe floor beneath my feet felt like it was tilting back and forth like a boat in a stormy ocean. The harsh words from the nurse echoed in my ears over and over again, drowning out every other sound in the world.“Zara's condition has taken a sudden turn. Please hurry.”"Rosalie! Talk to me!" Elliot’s deep voice shattered my freeze, his strong hands holding my arms tightly so I wouldn't collapse onto the carpet. His dark eyes were wide with genuine alarm, searching my pale face. "What happened? Is it Zara?""I... I have to go," I choked out, a sob tearing through my throat. I grabbed my leather bag with shaking, clumsy fingers, knocking over a pencil holder on my desk in pure panic. "The hospital just called. The nurse said her condition took a turn. I have to go right now!""I'm driving you," Elliot said instantly, leaving no room for argument as he reached for his coat."No!" I cried out, stepping back and shaking my head violently, tears pouring down my cheeks. "No, Mr. Ster

I stared at my computer screen, trying to focus on the endless rows of numbers in front of me, but my eyes kept blurring with fatigue. Every muscle in my back was aching. I hadn't eaten since yesterday evening, and the dull, throbbing headache behind my eyes was getting worse by the minute.Over the past few days, despite the terrifying threat of the anonymous note and the lingering tension in the office, small things about Elliot Sterling had begun to shift in my mind. It was getting harder and harder to deny the confusing, scary feelings growing inside my chest.He did things that no boss had ever done for me.Earlier that week, I had casually mentioned in passing that Zara loved strawberry milkshakes. Two days later, a cold, fresh strawberry milkshake from the expensive café downstairs magically appeared on my desk while I was in the restroom, wit

    ELLIOTThe heavy glass doors of my private office were closed, but they didn't block out the quiet hum of the top floor or the small, focused sounds coming from just outside my window.I sat back in my leather chair, a cold cup of black coffee sitting untouched on the polished mahogany desk. My hands were folded loosely over my lap, but my mind was completely somewhere else.I found myself thinking about Rosalie.That wasn't unusual lately—she consumed far more of my thoughts than any CEO's personal assistant had a right to. But today, the memory of her didn't start with the tension in this office, or the terrifying anonymous note left on her desk, or even the gala where we had almost lost all control.My mind drifted back to the beginning. Back to the underground private club where the air smelled of expensive perfume, leather, and expensive whiskey.I remembered the mask she had worn, hiding her face, but I remembered her eyes even better. Wide, nervous, filled with a desperate kind
