Julian’s POV

Darkness had always been a logical and predictable construct to me but when it became too much, even I couldn’t control it anymore while it ate away at me.

The darkness didn’t come alone. It came with guilt.

It ate at me relentlessly and all I could think of all day was the fact that I had ruined Savannah’s life and no matter how much

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 116B - Solid Ground

    Julian's POVOnce inside and seated, Mrs. Willy filled Leon's plate as if he had not eaten in a month."Mrs. Willy, the food was delicious, truly, but I am stuffed," Leon protested politely.Savannah did not get her stubbornness from a stranger. "Nonsense, here eat some more, it will be a long drive back," Mrs. Willy continued, plating heaps of food on Leon's plate.He protested once more, looking at the freshly filled plate in front of him. "Ma'am, thank you... but I don't think I can finish all this."Savannah's mother looked at him pointedly but said nothing.I chuckled. "Just eat, Leon." That was when Leon realized it was useless, and accepted his fate with a shake of his head and a sigh.

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 116A - There Are Cows Here

    Julian's POVThe ranch looked exactly as I remembered it, but after the noise and pressure of Seattle, the open fields and weathered farmhouse felt almost unreal. Last time I'd arrived here consumed by thoughts of how to convince Savannah to give us another chance.As I drove toward the porch, the stillness settled over me, and I realized how much I had missed a place where silence did not feel threatening. The ranch had a way of forcing you to only focus on things that really mattered.Savannah glanced at me from the passenger seat and smiled. "You're doing that thing again." When I asked what she meant, she said I was staring at the ranch instead of watching the road.I told her I was appreciating the scenery, but she knew better."You missed it

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 115 - Leave Their Marriage Alone

    Arya's POVI knew something was wrong before Leon closed the door. He usually carried bad news with an irritating calm, as if every crisis could be solved after lunch. Today he stood rigid in my office, and my stomach dropped before he spoke."Julian suspended you until further notice."I lowered the folder in my hands. My phone had lit up through the night with Julian's messages and missed calls, but I had assumed he was angry, not that he had made a formal decision. "Where is he?""Gone, and not your business right now. He does not want you around him today."The room seemed to tilt. "That is dramatic.""No. What you did was dramatic." Leon never raised his voice; he did not need to. His flat precision cut through every excuse I had rehearsed."I was drunk," I said. It was true. I had been drinking, careless and tired of pretending I did not notice Julian: the authority in his voice, the way a room shifted around him, the way he looked at Savannah. None of that excused kissing him,

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 114 - Things Change

    Julian's POVI woke before Savannah and, for once, stayed perfectly still.The room was dim, with only the soft glow of the city slipping through the curtains, and she lay curled beside me, breathing evenly. After the night before, I should have been exhausted, yet my mind felt painfully clear.The photograph had changed what I was willing to tolerate around us. When I reached for my phone on the nightstand, it buzzed three times in my hand.Leon, of course.I stepped into the hallway before I answered so I would not wake her. "What," I said, keeping my voice low."Good morning to you too," Leon replied, not bothering with pleasantries.I pinched the bridge

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 113 - You Are My Life

    Savannah's POVBy the time Julian came home, the dinner I had made for him was cold, the candles had burned themselves out, and whatever excitement I had felt had turned into something heavy and humiliating.The chicken pasta sat untouched beneath its cover on the dining table. Dessert was still in the refrigerator, and the kitchen still smelled of garlic and cream. I had cooked because Julian had asked me to, and I had been happy when he asked. That was what hurt most.I sat on the couch, staring at the photograph looping on television: Julian and Arya, their mouths almost touching. The reporter asked where Julian's wife had been while he checked his lawyer into a hotel after midnight. I knew where I had been, here, waiting for him, and every question felt like an accusation.The elevator chimed and my body stiffened. I heard him before I saw him, the sound of his footsteps changing as he crossed the threshold. "Savannah?" he called softly.I didn't turn. The reporter's voice continu

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 112 - I Pulled Away

    Julian's POVBy ten thirty I knew dinner was gone, and by eleven fifteen I was sitting at that long conference table with a tightness in my chest that felt dangerously close to anger. The meeting had dragged on far past anything reasonable. What should have been a simple final discussion after the function had turned into a slow, grinding loop of investor concerns, legal questions, development timelines, and the same arguments repeated until they lost their meaning. Every time I thought we were finally finished, someone found a new excuse to keep us here.I checked my phone beneath the table. Savannah had replied forty minutes earlier. Okay. Food will still be there. That small sentence gnawed at me more than anything said in that room. I had asked her to cook for me, and she had sounded happy when I asked. I could picture her in the kitchen, preparing dinner because she believed I

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 5 - The Bulls

    Savannah’s POV“Move!” I yelled, having little time to react as I quickly dived out of their way. I had barely taken a breath of relief when I turned to see Julian, who was still frozen on the spot and he stood directly in their path.He was completely still with a frightened expression on his face

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 4 - The Move

    Savannah's povI had always imagined my wedding to be like a fairytale wedding, filled with love and happiness.The wedding I had was the complete opposite. There were no joyful tears, no happy toasts, and certainly no romance. All through the brief wedding, I tried not to snap at a super cold Julia

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 3 - The Ballroom

    Savannah's povI smoothed down the skirt of my black dress for the hundredth time while keeping my posture perfectly rigid. I felt entirely out of my element in a gown and I would choose my pants and t-shirt over this any day, but for the sake of my parents, I had to attend this gala.We were in the

  • Taming the Arrogant Billionaire   Chapter 2 - Why me?

    Julian’s POVI adjusted my collar and stepped into the commercial real estate office, heading straight for the broker's desk. I didn't care about the extra fees or the location costs because I really needed the space. I was a Montgomery by blood, but I wanted to make a name for myself. My startup wa
