Vanessa POV

It was barely a week left till i walked down the aisle. Oh God. It felt so dreamy.

I wish my late parents were alive to witness it. They would be so happy.

The morning started with laughter.

Liam had smeared chocolate across his cheek at breakfast, grinning at me like he was the cleverest boy alive. Edward sat across the table, pretending to scowl while failing to hide the twitch of amusement at the corner of his mouth.

“Don’t encourage him,” Edward muttered, though his eyes were warm.

Liam puffed out his chest. “Dad, I’m practicing camouflage. If bad guys come, they won’t see me.”

The fork froze halfway to my lips. For a second, the lightheartedness cracked.

Edward reached over and ruffled Liam’s hair.

“No bad guys are coming, champ.” His tone was easy, confident. Like always.

But my skin prickled anyway.

By noon, Bella had dragged me out for what she called “therapeutic shopping.” Liam begged to tag along, Jacob too. And for once Edward agreed. On the condition that se

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 149: The Watcher

    Daniel POVNights stretched longer when I couldn’t sleep. And lately, I never slept.I sat in the leather chair in my apartment, a bottle of red wine at my elbow, blinds half-drawn against the glow of Manhattan. The city didn’t care that I was coming apart at the seams. It never had.My mind kept replaying that night in Zanzibar like some cursed loop. Vanessa’s laughter echoing in the humid air, her hair tangled by the wind. The way her lips had trembled when she whispered my name like a confession. The heat of her skin under my palms when I thought, for one damn second, she was mine again.She had been mine. I could still taste her. Feel the shiver that ran through her body when I kissed down her throat. The way she looked at me—hungry, desperate, alive. Not like she looked at him.But then, just like always, she slipped away. Back to Edward. Back to his mansion, his power, his son. Back to the safety of the man who ruined her as much as he saved her.I downed another glass, the swee

    Vanessa’s POVEvening of July 15th and 16thEdward’s kitchen always smelled unique, just like him. Something sharp and clean. The counters shined under the golden pendant lights, and the faint sizzle of garlic hit the pan while he muttered something under his breath about me ruining the tomatoes.“I’m not ruining them,” I protested, knife in hand, slicing much too slowly on purpose because I knew it drove him crazy.“You’re murdering them,” he said dryly, taking the knife from me with that domineering ease that made my breath catch. “Tomatoes should be cut with confidence, Vanessa. Not fear.”I laughed, leaning against the counter, pretending not to notice how his shirt sleeves had been rolled up and his forearms flexed as he took control of the cutting board. God, this man could make chopping vegetables look like foreplay.Damn.“You’re such a control freak.”He shot me a sidelong smirk. “And you love it.”Oh he was right, because I did.We’d fallen into this strange, blissful rhythm

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 147: Wedding Fever & hidden enemies

    Vanessa’s POV July 15th Barely two weeks. That’s all the time left until the wedding. Until I walked down the aisle in a dress I had dreamed of since I was a girl, only now the man waiting at the altar wasn’t a faceless fantasy but Edward Silver. A man who had burned through every wall I built, who had scarred me, healed me, loved me, and refused to let me go no matter how much chaos I dragged into his life. Barely two weeks until I stopped being Vanessa the survivor, the mother, the woman trying to prove herself. And became Mrs. Silver. The name still felt surreal on my tongue, like slipping into a role that had been written in the stars long before either of us realized it. I sat in the quiet of my fashion store, leaning over the long oak work table that had scratches from a thousand pins and pencils. The sketches of my wedding dresses spread out on the table. My dresses and main wedding dress is still in progress—half pinned on the mannequin, a mermaid silhouette with embel

    Daniel’s POVI was seated in my company ug, as we had just completed a major business meeting. I leaned back in my chair, going through my tab as I paused to stare out the wide sized window in my office. The goddamn headlines wouldn’t stop. The airport photos wouldn’t stop. Her smile with Edward. It was unshaken. Vanessa. My Vanessa. No, that wasn’t right. She was never mine, was she? She belonged to Edward. She always had been. Even when she leaned on me. Even when she kissed me. Even when she moaned my name in Zanzibar under the moonlight. It was always him. And now, it was official. The whole wide world knew it. Edward Silver engaged. Billionaire bachelor off the market. Vanessa Coleman, the lucky bride-to-be. Lucky. That word made my stomach turn. I gulped the rest of my drink in one swallow, letting the burn rip down my throat. It didn’t help. Nothing helped. For weeks, i tried to convince myself that a part of her heart still has a bit of space for me. To remember

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 145: Home Is With You

    Edward POVNew York Early July The days after Vanessa said yes were a blur of sunlight, sea, and laughter. I couldn’t remember the last time I felt so light, so unburdened, like the chains of my past had finally shattered the moment she slipped that ring on her finger. We stayed in Mykonos with the people who mattered most—Tobias, Angela, Bella with her husband and little girl, even Mandi and her children for a few days. Vanessa glowed in their presence, glowing in a way I hadn’t seen in years. Every meal was a celebration, every sunset another reminder that I’d managed to secure the only future that ever mattered: the one with her. The villa echoed with the sound of laughter, wine glasses clinking, and sometimes the shrill of kids running around the infinity pool while Liam—always too sharp for his age—snapped candid photos of his mother and me. My fiancée. My future wife. We managed to stretch those days into eternity, but reality couldn’t wait forever. Flights were booked, an
