Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 127: Salt & Fire
Daniel POVThe ocean stretched wide and glittering, a mirror of light that burned white under the midday sun. Spray stung my skin, sharp and salty, as the jet ski tore across the surface with a roar. Vanessa’s laughter carried over the wind, raw and deep, the kind of sound I hadn’t heard from her in far too long.Then it hit me. This was what I wanted. Her laughter. Her joy. Her freedom.She sat behind me, arms wrapped snug around my waist, her chest pressed to my back. Every turn of the handlebars had her clutching tighter, every burst of speed dragged another laugh from her throat. I wanted to bottle that sound, keep it for every moment she doubted herself, every night her fears dragged her down.“Faster!” she shouted over the engine.I grinned and twisted the throttle, the jet ski leaped forward, bouncing off the waves with reckless abandon. She squealed, burying her face briefly against my shoulder before lifting her head, hair whipped wild by the wind.“You’re insane!”“You l
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 126: Take Me Back
June 22ndVanessa POVThe smell of vanilla pancakes drifted through the villa, thick and rich, mingling with the salt of the sea that crept in through the open balcony doors. Sunlight spilled across the tiles in golden ribbons, warm against my bare feet as I sat at the long wooden table.Daniel and I had spent our first twin days of the trip recovering from jet-lag by taking naps and talking after we woke up. He said today has sone activities packed.For the first time in weeks, there was no weight pressing down on my chest when I woke. No mansion filled with whispers. No headlines burning my phone. Just the ocean, endless and calm, as if daring me to believe in peace.Daniel had disappeared down to the shore before breakfast, something about testing the jet skis the resort had prepared. He was in his element here. Adventurous, restless, always moving. I had let him go, happy I got to linger in the quiet, my hands curled around a mug of iced tea, a plate of fruit and the pancakes unto
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 125: Unravel Me
Unravel meChapter 125 – EdwardI couldn’t take it anymore.Everywhere felt too quiet for me. Every goddam place. I’ve been staying the night in my penthouse more often. Because the memories of the mansion haunted me deeply.Vanessa’s laughter didn’t echo through these walls. Liam’s footsteps didn’t thunder down the hall. Because he wasn’t here, none of them were. Even the air felt stale, as though it had given up waiting for life to return. Her absence makes me see things clearly now.She and our son were the only ones who made my life colorful. And without them, I felt lost. Broken. Like I was using my money and relevance to feel important, to trick myself into thinking I would be fine without them. But in my mind, I knew it was a lie. Back at the company, I tried to bury myself in work, but the numbers blurred together. Contracts that once leapt off the page now read like static. My mind wandered, circling the same questions I couldn’t seem to answer.I was always angry, yelling a
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 124: Hello Zanzibar
Vanessa POV•June 20th•Thursday morningThe quiet of the air soothed me more than I expected. Maybe it was the low vibration humming beneath my feet, steady like a heartbeat, or maybe it was simply the fact that I was finally in the air, suspended between two worlds. Behind me, New York and all its scars; ahead of me, Zanzibar. Some place that promised warmth and water and, maybe, a version of myself I hadn’t been in a long time.I wanted to believe in that promise.Daniel sat across from me, watching with the kind of patience that amused me. He didn’t choke me. Just sat with his glass of apple juice, jacket discarded, sleeves rolled back to reveal forearms that once made me dizzy. His gaze wasn’t demanding, it was steady. Warm. Waiting.And I didn’t know what to do with it.“I can almost see you thinking,” he said after a while, his mouth curving.I tried to smile back, but it came out weaker than I wanted. “That’s because I am. I can’t seem to stop.”“Thinking about what?”I hesita
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 123: I’ll Fight For You
Mandi’s POV Later that nightThe children were finally asleep. Gwen had curled into her blankets with a book still open across her chest, James sprawled sideways like a starfish, his toy truck abandoned at the foot of the bed. Liam had resisted the longest, blinking back stubborn tears at being separated from his mother, but exhaustion had claimed him at last. His soft breathing filled the quiet of the room.I lingered in the doorway a moment longer than necessary, watching the steady rise and fall of their small chests. Safe. Protected. That was enough.The phone in my hand felt heavier than it should. I’d been staring at Tobias’s number for ten minutes, debating whether to press it. He wasn’t my family, not really. And yet, he was the one thread in Edward’s family I trusted. Barely, but enough. He’d shown glimpses of sense, glimpses of decency.And I was done being silent.I stepped into the hallway, closing the door softly behind me, and pressed the call button.He answered on th
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 122: The Pact
Daniel’s POVJune 19thThe jet landed in London under a sky streaked with gray, the kind of moody clouds that seemed to hang heavy even in the middle of summer. I leaned back against the leather seat, loosening the knot of my tie. For once, my mind wasn’t tangled in business numbers or boardroom strategies. It was focused entirely on one thing. Her.Vanessa.I hadn’t seen her in a week. A week since she left. carrying Liam with her, to find safety in her sister’s arms. A week that felt like months. And now I was here, not for a deal or a meeting, but for her, first both of us.The driver opened the car door when we arrived at Mandi’s home, a brick townhouse with flower boxes on the windows and children’s laughter spilling faintly into the air. It felt far removed from the chaos of New York, from the scandals and the suffocating flash of paparazzi cameras.Vanessa was waiting on the front step.The sight of her hit me harder than I expected. Jeans, a loose cardigan, red hair tied back,
