Edward POV

2 hours earlier,

The low hum of the car was the only sound as I drove through Manhattan’s haze. The city hadn’t fully woken yet, just enough movement on the sidewalks to remind me the world never really slept. I gripped the steering wheel a little tighter, eyes flicking up to the rearview mirror out of habit.

Vanessa’s silhouette flashed in my memory. Her naked back tangled in our sheets, hair a red tangle on the pillow, skin still warm with the echoes of last night. I should’ve stayed longer. Traced every line of her with my lips. Memorized the way she curled into me after she slept, like she’d finally found home again.

I missed her already.

But Tobias was waiting. And I knew my brother well enough to know he wouldn’t have shown up unannounced unless it was something big. Something… ugly.

“Don’t let it be them,” I muttered under my breath as I made a left toward my company building. “Not again.”

My family’s talent for manipulation ran deep. Especially my mother’s. She ca

    Vanessa POVA couple hours later, we were in the theater. me, Mandi, Gwen, James, and Liam. I let them pick the movie, something animated and chaotic with talking animals in space. I didn’t even care what it was. I just wanted this moment with my sister. I needed it.I glanced sideways at Mandi as we all laughed at something ridiculous on-screen. Her eyes sparkled with nostalgia.“I’ll miss this,” she whispered.“Me too.”As the movie played, I found myself thinking of everything, of how Liam clung to his astronaut buzz light year, of the haunting message I received at the zoo, of the strange box from Kaz. Was he watching? Was he waiting? The fear still lingered under my skin. But Edward’s security team was alert. And I had to believe I was safe. That Liam was safe.I scrolled through my phone quietly, going through the photos from yesterday. The zoo, the party, the amusement park. Everyone had been smiling, and yet beneath those smiles was tension. Edward glaring at Daniel, Daniel em

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 85: Until Next Time

    Vanessa’s POVMay 11thSun rays poured softly through the curtains, causing a golden shadow to reflect along the bedroom walls. I blinked slowly, limbs still tangled in warm sheets that smelled like Edward Silver, masculine, addicting. My body ached in the best way possible, a reminder of how fiercely he made love to me last night. The way he touched me, made me feel so good, like I was his, like he waited years to claim me again. And maybe he had. Maybe we both had. All those years of being apart, all the times we had constant ups and downs, everything was building up, and leading us to this moment.Right now, the light was too bright, too loud, and It was noon.I stretched beneath the sheets, rolling to my side where Edward should’ve been. The space was cold. He mentioned he was leaving to meet his older brother, Tobias. The thought made my stomach flutter, and it wasn’t in a good way. Why was Tobias suddenly in New York? And why now?I barely had time to gather that thought bef

  • Taming Mr Billionaire    Chapter 84: Morning Resolve

    Edward’s POV The morning light crept softly through the cracks in the blinds, brushing over the silhouette of her body. Vanessa lay tangled in the sheets, her bare back rising and falling with every slow breath. Her red hair was a wild, glorious mess against the pillow, strands curling across her shoulder like flames resting on her brown skin. I couldn’t stop staring.My arm was draped around her waist, fingertips grazing the curve of her hip, still warm from everything we’d shared last night. No performance, no power plays—just us. Raw, honest, messy, and impossibly good. I’d memorized the sound of her breath when she gasped against my mouth. The way her nails dug into my shoulders. How she whispered my name like it meant something again.God, I loved her.And not in the vague, poetic way I used to throw that word around before. This, what I felt for her now, was carved out of consequence. Regret. Longing. Years of watching her from the outside of a life I should have fought harder

    Vanessa POVThe mansion buzzed with residual excitement from the kids as we stepped through the grand entrance. Liam clutched my hand, his other arm wrapped around his new plush dinosaur, a gift from one of his classmates. Gwen, James, Bella and her son Jacob, trailed behind, their laughter echoing through the marble-floored foyer.“I’ll race you to the living room!” Jacob shouted, already dashing ahead.“Not fair! You got a head start!” Gwen protested, chasing after him.I smiled lightly, watching them disappear around the corner. Bella rolled her eyes playfully, balancing a tray laden with leftover cupcakes and party favors.“Kids and their endless energy,” she remarked, following them.I guided Liam toward the living room, where the remnants of the party awaited. Balloons bobbed gently against the ceiling, and the scent of frosting lingered in the air. The staff had already arranged the snacks and treats on the coffee table, ready for round two of the celebration.Then Liam’s eyes

    Daniel POVThe city was unusually quiet for a Saturday night. Or maybe it was just me, standing alone by my car, on the opposite corner of the street, watching people slowly filter out of the event hall like ghosts slipping through fog. The lights inside the venue were dim now, glowing softly against the backdrop of a celebration that had gone sideways. My mind felt at peace that Wendy was occupied on the set of her new movie role and couldn’t come with me. If she were here it would be so much worse.Liam’s birthday party had started out like something out of a picture book. Kids dressed like mini astronauts and dinosaur rangers, squealing with joy as confetti rained down and music played. But as the hours passed, tension slowly crept in like a storm front.I stepped out for a moment to receive a business call. While I was inside, I stood from a distance and saw everything I needed to. Edward arriving, placing a kiss on Vanessa’s cheek, her smile just a bit too tight, like she was tr
