Nicole stood in front of the mirror, staring at her reflection longer than she normally would. She looked paler than she used to, her skin lacking its usual glow, and she could tell she had lost some weight. Her clothes no longer hugged her body the same way they once did.

How did she get to this point? She wondered quietly.

She reached for her makeup, carefully applying it beneath her eyes to hide the exhaustion that refused to fade. When she was done, she changed into a brown crop top and whit

  • The Billion Dollar Contract   Epilogue

    Few days has passed since Nicole moved to Miami Florida. She loved the mansion Gabriel got for her. She had employees at her beck and call all thanks to him, but she felt like she had accomplished nothing. None of the things she had now could give her true happiness like she thought they would. Well, what do they say? ‘The rich also cry’ so, she guess since she was now rich, not being able to be with Gabriel, the man she lives with her whole heart was her own reason to cry. Nicole was by her pool side, lying on the deck chair with her eyes closed while having these thoughts. She wanted to get a tan, so she was having a sun bathe when suddenly she didn’t feel the ray of the sunshine on her skin, she wondered what could’ve caused it, so she opened her eyes and was shocked to see Gabriel standing there, dressed casually, he was the cause of the sudden shade.What was he doing her

  • The Billion Dollar Contract   Chapter 36

    Gabriel’s parents traveled back to Las Vegas two days after they returned from their honeymoon. Their departure left the mansion quieter than it had been in weeks. The warmth their presence brought faded almost instantly, replaced by the familiar quiet rhythm and stillness that settled deep into the walls of the house.Nicole returned to her bedroom, to Gabriel’s displeasure, though he kept it to himself. He had no right to complain. This arrangement had never promised permanence. It had always been built on and conditions, rather than promises. Yet, the distance between them felt heavier now than it ever had before.A week passed, and everything gradually slipped back into the familiar routine that existed before Gabriel’s parents had arrived. Gabriel resumed work at the office, immersing himself in meetings, files, and endless responsibilities. His days were long and exhausting. Yet despite the workload, his mind remained restless. The stress was no longer coming solely from business

  • The Billion Dollar Contract   Chapter 35

    It was almost dawn, and the soft light of early morning barely filtered through the curtains. Nicole was fast asleep in Gabriel’s arms, her breathing slow and steady, her face serene and untouched by the world. Gabriel watched her with an intensity he couldn’t hide. Every curve, every detail of her peaceful expression, seemed like a treasure he wanted to protect. She looked ethereal, so soft and delicate, and yet she had given him the greatest gift he could ever imagine—her body.Making love to Nicole in reality had surpassed every expectation he had ever held in his mind. Every touch, every sigh, every whispered sound from her had been far more intoxicating than he had ever dreamed. He marveled at the intimacy they shared, at how their souls seemed to connect through their bodies, even if the words they exchanged were few.If only she knew, he thought, if only she could understand the depth of his feelings—the love that had grown beyond the boundaries of their contract, the wish to sp

  • The Billion Dollar Contract   Chapter 34

    Gabriel and Nicole arrived on the island where they would be spending their honeymoon in a helicopter.The island belonged to Gabriel’s family. Nicole’s eyes widened as she took in the sight before her—the landscape stretched endlessly, lush greenery meeting pristine beaches, waves gently lapping against the sand to her excitement. The mansion loomed in the distance, regal and expansive, every detail speaking of luxury and power. She noticed the hum of the generator that powered the island, the way the sunlight reflected off the water, the way the breeze played with her hair. The beach, endless and inviting, caused her heart to skip with excitement.She never imagined that one day she’d be standing on an island that belonged to a wealthy person—not as a tourist, not as a guest, but as someone who could call this place a home, a sanctuary. And not just a home, but a place where she would spend her honeymoon. A place where she could stay forever if she wanted. The thought made her dizzy

  • The Billion Dollar Contract   Chapter 33

    Nicole was now alone in the room. Her friends had left after chatting with her for a while, needing to be at the church to await her arrival. The quiet that followed felt almost heavy, filled with anticipation and nervous energy. She felt a flutter of nervousness in her chest, the kind that made her hands tremble slightly. To steady herself, she took a small sip of wine, letting the warmth calm her racing thoughts. Now that she was fully dressed, reality struck her fully, causing her heart to pound—she was about to marry Gabriel, and there was no way either of them could avoid it. There were no detours, no delays. It had to happen, and the magnitude of that truth both thrilled and terrified her.She perched on the edge of the bed, hands shaking slightly, heart racing like a drumbeat in her chest. She tried to steady herself, but the realization weighed heavily, as her mind drifted in a whirlwind of “what ifs” and “maybes,” when she suddenly heard a gentle knock at the door. Startled, s

    The day of the wedding had finally arrived. The sun had barely crested the horizon, casting soft golden light into Gabriel’s bedroom, yet he was already awake, his mind buzzing with nervous anticipation. His heart raced despite the calm exterior he tried to maintain. He had never imagined that he would be standing at the altar, ready to marry, after everything that had happened with Ashley. A relationship meant to be only a façade had turned into something far more complicated, tangled in emotions he hadn’t fully anticipated.He hadn’t seen Nicole for the past three days. She had been adamant in her promise that he wouldn’t see her until the wedding day itself. They had only spoken over the phone since then, as Nicole retreated to her bedroom to manage her own preparations. And yet, even in the quiet of their distance, Gabriel had felt her absence, as they only talked on the phone.He missed the sparkle in her eyes, the warmth of her smile. He missed hearing the laughter that had once

    Gabriel made his way downstairs and immediately spotted his parents already seated in the living room. The familiar sight stirred something within him — a mix of comfort and unease. It had been a while since he last saw them, and the timing of their arrival caught him off guard.“Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad,”

    They arrived at the mansion, and to Nicole’s surprise, a strange sense of familiarity settled over her almost instantly. It felt like coming home — a thought that startled her enough to immediately push it away. She had no right to feel that way. This place was not her home, and it never truly had b

    Nicole ran into her bedroom and slammed the door shut behind her. The moment she reached the bed, her strength gave out and she collapsed onto it, burying her face into the pillow as tears streamed freely down her cheeks. This was a mistake. A terrible mistake. She never should have agreed to such a
