“Please,” I pleaded. No matter how frustrated I was with him, he simply did not know the risks I had taken with him. Either that, or he just did not care. I hoped, against all that I knew about him, that it wasn't the latter.

Tucker finally opened his eyes and propped himself up, looking the least bit concerned. I think he realized that I wasn’t waking him up for no reason, but it was always impossible to know for certain with this man. I handed him one of the photos, and it was only under his touch that the

muscles of my hands relaxed. But when his brows furrowed and the magnitude of the situation dawned on him, I felt my panic in full force. My face stung as tears started to form and pool at my lash line, and breathing became a lot more difficult all at once.

“When did you get this?” Tucker asked in a low, gentle voice as he rested a hand on my upper arm, warm and comforting. It did nothing to soothe me. As much as I wanted to be close to him, to disappear with him in a cozy bubble

  • The Billionaire Heiress Baby    Julian

    TUCKER’s POVEmma and I had been engaged for five months. I had known her for under a year in total. I had never fallen this hard, this fast for anyone. I had never opened up so much to anyone.Emma took my hand in hers and squeezed. We stood over Jordan’s grave together, each with a singular carnation in hand. Jordan was never the kind of guy to want something as big and flashy as a bouquet, but I wanted to leave him a message.My love for him since the time he passed dwarfed the love I was capable of holding as a broken big brother. It felt unfair to say that I loved him even more as more time passed. I wish I were able to process my feelings and give him the love I held now that I had made progress in my healing. I always thought that visiting his grave would mean that I no longer grieved him, but as soon as I set foot in the cemetery, I quickly realized how mistaken I had been. The grief never had never gone away. It had only settled amid everything I had to face in my life. Now,

  • The Billionaire Heiress Baby    A Million Times Over

    “Emma,” Tucker’s voice greeted me as he pulled me into a tight embrace the moment he saw me. Tears that I didn’t feel forming were streaming down my face at once. A surge of emotions flooded my heart, and I began crying as soon as our chests pressed against each other. Tucker was in messy pajamas, his hair tousled from what seemed like staying in bed all day, and his eyes were red and puffy. I had never seen him quite this distressed, but it was okay. I was in an equal amount of distress.I stood there, limp in his arms and crying my eyes out. Tucker was crying, too, his tears rolling down his face and onto my sweater. I didn’t mind. I myself was snotting and sobbing onto his hoodie. He was wearing the same hoodie I had taken from him when he stayed the night at my place for the first time. It still smelled of my perfume. I dowsed it in my perfume before giving it back to him. I wanted him to have a piece of me. Sue me.My arms came up and weakly wrapped around Tucker’s waist. We stoo

    It was strange to have Mom’s attention completely on me for so long. I was anticipating some phone call or text that would distract her from me, but nothing came. Mom sat with me on my couch, the both of us covered by a fuzzy blanket as I laid my head on her chest, and she simplylistened. It was a comfort I did not know existed—to simply spill my heart out and gush to her about a boy. The angsty teenage Emma that lived inside me was currently being spoiled rotten.I told her everything. I told her about my work and how I met Tucker. I told her about the gala and the photos. I told her about Rocky and how he liked me better than he liked Tucker. I told her about the trip to Bora Bora and how nice the place was.Mom caressed the crown of my head as I spoke. My heart swelled with a connection it had craved for over a decade. I had lost everything I had, but it felt like I had gained something priceless in return. I wondered why I had ever forced myself to go without this affection, with

  • The Billionaire Heiress Baby    A Moment Of Silence

    EMMA’s POV“I just don’t get why you two are making everything so complicated,” Jen sighed, sprawled over the foot of my bed.“I’m not making anything complicated,” I whined, throwing an arm over my eyes to block out the stare I knew Jen was giving me.I had called Jen and asked her to come over to simply listen to me, but she insisted on giving me all sorts of genuine, good advice. I knew she would do that, but I tried to tune it out anyway.The truth was, I knew I was being difficult as well. And Jen knew that I knew that, but she had a habit of hammering the truth into my head whenever I was being too childish to listen to my intuition. Although I wanted nothing more than to shove my fingers in my ears and drown her out playfully, she was right.“Emma, look at me,” Jen said as she kneeled next to me on the bed and peeled my arm off my head. “You’re a smart woman. You’re the smartest person I know. You know damn well you have a hand in this.”As if on cue, my phone chimed with anoth

  • The Billionaire Heiress Baby    The Perfect Ring

    TUCKER’s POVI wouldn’t say I had an impulse shopping problem. In fact, despite what Carter would try to tell me, I didn’t think I was being impulsive in the slightest. The rings in the case all sparkled just the same. Nothing felt special or worthy of Emma’s hand. It might have been a drastic move to storm out of her office and then go ring shopping just a week later, but Carter knockedsome sense into me the other day. I wasn’t prepared to lose Emma. I could deal with no longer seeing her as my therapist. Before, it felt like that was all I had with her. I had to go to our weekly sessions because they used to be the only way I would get her to tolerate my flirting for an hour straight. That was no longer a problem.After the day we danced at the beach house together, things were different. Emma and I could see each other beyond the office and luxurious events. I could simply call her and ask her to meet. I didn’t have to jump through all the hoops I used to before. There was also ou

  • The Billionaire Heiress Baby    Stalker

    EMMA’s POVI still felt like I was being followed, even when I was on my own at this point. I was walking home with my groceries in broad daylight. I had no real reason to worry, right? I hadn’t been in contact with Tucker for days, let alone been seen with him in public. It was ridiculous to still be followed.I set my grocery bag down on the sidewalk and crouched beside it to collect myself. I buried my head in my hands and took a deep breath. As I held it in, I heard a camera shutter. I knew I wasn’t going insane. There was no way I had made that up.I quickly looked up to find a redheaded woman in a cap and sunglasses with a camera pointed in my direction. As soon as she saw me looking at her, she started running away. I grabbed my groceries and bolted after her. She was quick on her feet, seemingly shorter than me and with smaller steps, but I was faster and fitter, and it didn’t take long before I caught up to her.“Wait, please! I come in peace!” I called out as the gap between
