THE BILLIONAIRE’S MYSTIQUE BRIDE CHAPTER 138: New Morning—New Lover
Mia woke to the sound of wind.The windows were still open, and the morning air drifted in—crisp and quiet.She blinked, dazed. The sheets were tangled around her hips, the air cool against her bare shoulders.Her legs felt loose and aching—but not in a painful way. It was the ache of a lover’s surrender, having been held and touched until the night faded into memory.She glanced beside her. The space next to her was empty.She sat up, clutching the sheet around herself like a drowsy fool. Her hair was a mess, her mouth dry from sleep. But she didn’t care. Zac wasn’t there.For a moment she wondered—was it all a dream? But then she shifted her legs under the covers, and the whisper of slight soreness reminded her it had been real.All of it—every kiss, every cuddle. Every single moment.Yet… he wasn’t here now. Her heart beat a little faster.He left, she thought. Just like before.Even after all the words. All the promises. Even after last night.A knock on the door startled her.She
THE BILLIONAIRE’S MYSTIQUE BRIDE CHAPTER 137: Every Inch Of Him
Zac froze, his face barely an inch from hers. For a moment, he just stared at her, as if replaying her words to be sure he heard them right. “As you wish, my lady,” he said with a smirk.He shifted back, releasing her legs gently, and stood from the bubbling hot tub. His soaked briefs still clung to him as he stepped out onto the warm rooftop tiles. She frowned as he turned, walking along the wall.“Where are you going?” she called out, her voice still a little dazed.Zac bent and unplugged her phone from the socket, then reached for one of the thick towels hanging nearby. “Getting your phone. I don’t think we’re coming back here tonight.”He walked to her and offered his hand. She took it.Without effort, he bent down and swept her into his arms. “Hold on to me,” he whispered, already wrapping the towel around her damp skin.She clung to him as he turned toward a dim corridor.“The chef’s gone?” Mia asked, peering in.Zac giggled. “Of course he is. We’ve got no use for him tonight
THE BILLIONAIRE’S MYSTIQUE BRIDE CHAPTER 136: Wrapped in Steam and You
The steam wrapped around them like a soft veil. Water droplets clung to Zac’s skin shaped as small beads, catching the light like scattered stars. His hair, damp and slightly wavy, fell over his forehead in a way that made gulped. His lashes were wet and clustered, casting shadows on his cheekbones. He looked so handsome beyond words, and yet vulnerable, the way he always was when he was near her.Her heart twisted. Finally—finally—he was saying it.And yet, part of her recoiled. Because she had heard this before. Or something close. Words that once made her believe. Same words that once broke her.Would it be easier to ignore what she felt right now? Or should her heart—so painfully yearning—just accept his truth?It was complicated. Her plan was clear: after this contract, she would be gone—start a new life somewhere far away. This city held too many memories she wanted to bury. And then there was Angelo. Angelo, who had cared for her from the beginning, without even knowing her
THE BILLIONAIRE’S MYSTIQUE BRIDE CHAPTER 135: Heat Between the Stars
A few hours before Zac’s return, the last traces of daylight had melted into night. The moon had already risen, surrounded by stars scattered across the sky.“What would you like for dinner?” Claire asked, stepping into the living room, and sitting next to Mia.“Let me have the kitchen prepare something special. We’ve got everything from roasted duck to grilled sea bass, risotto, fresh greens—whatever your taste buds desire.”Mia smiled, then shook her head. “Thanks, Aunt Claire, but I’m not really hungry.”Claire raised an eyebrow. “Why not?”“Nothing. I’m just… not ready. Can I wait a little?”Claire studied her in silence for a second. “Is it because Zac’s not back yet?”Mia’s lips twitched, but she only shook her head.Claire stepped closer, her voice dropping into something more concerning. “When last did you speak to him?”Mia hesitated. “Before he left this morning. We were only texting.”“Texting? That’s it?” Claire clicked her tongue. “Hmph. He could’ve at least called during
THE BILLIONAIRE’S MYSTIQUE BRIDE CHAPTER 134: Where’s My Wife?
Zac stood with his back still to Mia, the weight of the moment heavy in his chest. Maybe he should say something. Perhaps tell her the truth about his feelings. How much he adores her. But now wasn’t the perfect time. Not after he almost lost himself being so close to her.Behind him, Mia stayed quiet, her fingers still trembling faintly as she touched her lips.Was Zac truly being honest about caring for her feelings? Had they just crossed into something real? And if they had, what next?Part of her wanted to protect herself from hoping too much. But a bigger part—the one that had let her kiss him back—was whispering that maybe this wasn’t a game anymore.Zac finally turned, his expression neutral.“We should probably get ready for dinner,” he said, slipping his hands in his pocket.Mia nodded. “Yeah. Sure.” She rose, smoothing her dress and avoiding his eyes. “I’ll go first.”Zac didn’t stop her, nor did he make any additional comments. He stood there until she walked out the door
THE BILLIONAIRE’S MYSTIQUE BRIDE CHAPTER 133: The Taste Of His Lips
Claire looked over her shoulder as she strolled down the hall. “So,” she said, pausing near a double doorway with polished brass handles. “Are you ready to go to your rooms?”Zac’s hand slid naturally into Mia’s, and he offered a wry smile. “Aunt Claire, you do remember I’m married, right? I kind of have to consult my wife before agreeing to anything.”Claire arched a brow and gave a faux gasp. “Oh, of course! I forgot you’re a responsible husband now,” she said with dramatic sarcasm. “Fine. You’ve got three minutes, Your Grace.” With a wink, she turned and disappeared.Zac chuckled softly, then turned to Mia. “We were supposed to head to the hotel,” he said, rubbing the back of his neck. “But… do you think we should stay over tonight?”Mia smiled. “Yeah, sure. Of course, we can. Or… don’t you want to sign the deal? If you don’t, it might seem like it’s because of me.”“Not at all,” Zac said. “I can get that done regardless.She touched his arm. “Then let’s stay. I don’t mind, Zac. Re
