Samantha came to Gabriel’s office two days after her last visit. She approached the secretary’s desk, where Gabriel’s secretary greeted her with a polite nod, and asked if he was in. She was told that he was, immersed in work as usual. Samantha’s eyes narrowed slightly, not with suspicion, but with determination. She told the secretary that there was no need to announce her arrival because Gabriel was already expecting her. She also instructed that no one should be allowed into the office, no ma

  • The Billion Dollar Contract   Epilogue

    A few days had passed since Nicole moved to Miami, Florida, yet time seemed to move strangely for her—too fast and too slow all at once. The mansion Gabriel bought for her was breathtaking, everything anyone could ever dream of owning. The architecture was elegant, the interior tastefully luxurious, and every window welcomed sunlight like it was designed specifically for peace.She had employees at her beck and call, all polite, all efficient, all eager to please. Everything worked perfectly… yet she didn’t.Nicole felt hollow.She had thought that once she had wealth, comfort, and freedom, happiness would naturally follow. But standing at the center of all that luxury made her realize something painfully simple—none of it mattered without Gabriel.None of the things she had now could fill the space he left behind.The rich also cry, she thought bitterly.And perhaps that was her punishment for finally becoming rich—loving a man she couldn’t have.Nicole lay stretched out on the deck c

  • 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

    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

    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

    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

    A week had passed since the awkward incident in the bathroom. Nicole had slowly returned to being her usual bubbly, expressive self, her laughter and easy smiles filling the house again as if nothing uncomfortable had ever happened. Gabriel, on his part, had grown accustomed to sharing his room with

    Nicole woke up to the soft sounds of movement around her. She blinked, still half-dreaming, and realized the faint shuffle of footsteps coming in and out of the room. Squinting through the morning light, she noticed maids carrying clothes in their hands, moving them carefully from one place to anoth

    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
