The Billionaire Married Me, Then Forgot How to Love Me 152 Five A.M. Mistake
(Haylee)My bladder wakes me before my brain does.I groan, roll over… straight over the edge of the bed and wince. “Ow… what the hell…”For a second, I don’t know where I am.Then I see the faded ceiling stars. Serena’s old room.Right. I’m at the Langley house. Oh… dancing, tequila, sambuca and Wes driving us back here. It’s all like a flashback dream not like it actually happened.My phone screen lights up as I grab it to look at the time. 5:04 a.m. Great.My body thinks it’s time to die and my bladder thinks it’s the Indy 500.I shove up off the floor.I don’t need lights. I’ve been coming here since I was ten. I could walk this floor plan drunk. Which, clearly, I still am.The toilet is across the hall, just next to the upstairs bathroom. I fumble the door open, bump the wall, and stifle a giggle.Afterward, I head straight into the bathroom to wash my hands The overhead light is already on, but my brain assumes it’s one of those ‘nightlight for safety’ things.I pump the soap, r
The Billionaire Married Me, Then Forgot How to Love Me 151 You Want Stability? I Am It
(James)The boardroom is full.Every major investor who matters is represented here.Key partners in global tech, encrypted defense, AI transport logistics. Quiet power players, each with their own empires, here to check the pulse of mine.To my left and right, my trusted executive team… Theo, Arden, Felix, Leo, Camilla, and Ezra… sit composed.Either side of the table closest to me, the Hales: my father Charles, my Uncle Victor, my cousins Elliott and Brandon.All here to present an image of stability.But I know what this is. It’s a test.They want to see if I’m going to do as I’m told.I stand.“You’ve all seen the media coverage. Heard the whispers. People calling this a destabilization of Hale Industries. A fracture. Some even speculating about my future as CEO of Hale.”A few glances exchange down the table. Some amused. Some cautious.“It’s noise,” I continue, voice calm, direct. “This is a press narrative crafted by people with very personal agendas. People who are personal to
The Billionaire Married Me, Then Forgot How to Love Me 150 Get Out Of My Way
(James)The jet hums around us like a beast waiting to strike.I left Serena’s house and came right to my jet. Leaving is not an option.I’m looking a little worse for wear after my drainpipe climb but it was worth it. I’ll shower in my private airport bedroom suite.I’ll do anything to stay relevant in Serena’s life.Not control it but be a part of it she doesn’t want to lose. But I need to get my shit sorted and I’m only scratching the surface of this at the coming meetings.But it’s a start.Geneva is where we’re headed, for god only knows how long. As long as it takes to get their faith back.As long as it takes to get my father and uncle to see I’m not their puppet.Arden Vale, COO at Hale Enterprises, sits across from me, tablet in hand, eyes sharp.Felix Song, Chief Legal Counsel, is reading a legal brief, eyes narrowed behind his glasses.Leo Duran, Chief of Tech, is running code on three devices simultaneously while Ezra lounges with all the attitude of a Gen Z prophet who a
The Billionaire Married Me, Then Forgot How to Love Me 149 A Sausage Roll and the Truth
(Serena)I grab a pillow and smack her in the face. “Absolutely not. Jesus, Haylee.”She flops onto the bed next to me, laughing and not remotely sorry. “I mean, I’d understand. Did you see the man tonight? Sin in a sweater.”“I never noticed,” I lie.“But also an idiot. Still, an idiot with a face sculpted by angels on commission.”“I’m not bonking him.”“He was so angry and needy… that’s sexual crack on stick. I wanted to do him myself.”“Be my guest.”She eyes me knowingly. “So you’re just glowing from the tequila, then? You never saw him after he left… at all?”I groan and yank the blanket up over my face. “Oh my god. Shut. Up.”I push the blanket off again.Her eyes land on something on my dresser.She sits bolt upright. And scrambles off the bed and grabs it. “What’s this?”She pops open the velvet box. Her voice goes all high-pitched and scandalized. “Serena Langley! You told me you left all the jewelry behind.”I close my eyes. “Well, I did,” I lie, badly.“You said it was sym
The Billionaire Married Me, Then Forgot How to Love Me 148 Don’t Give That Raccoon Rabies
(Serena)“Serena? What are you doing at the back door?” My mother’s voice makes me jump.“Shit, Mom!” I jump back. “Tequila, you know…” How long has she been behind me?“I thought I was going to vomit. I didn’t want to do it upstairs, so I just ran down,” I lie.She crosses her arms. “I thought I heard voices.”“No… Nope. Just me telling myself how stupid I am drinking all those shots.”“I saw that nice young man dropping you off,” she says, stepping out into the darkness and looking around a few times.“You did!?”God, tell me she didn’t see James. How embarrassing.She would be so disappointed if she thought I was letting him worm his way back in after everything.“Sorry if we woke you. I thought you’d be asleep. Dad was always the light sleeper.” I change the subject.She laughs. “That man doesn’t hear anything these days.” She comes back in the door past me.“I guess the golf club has retired then.” I close the door and lock it.“I dream about using it when he’s snoring,” she adds

(Serena)James gets to his feet, brushing dirt off his jeans. “Because I miss you.”Our voices are just barely above a whisper but no less emphatic.“Really? If you think I’m falling for that old chestnut, you’re dead wrong, and you can get back out that window before I push you out.”“The you who laughed at my terrible pancakes and let me fall asleep with my head in your lap after a 16-hour board meeting.”I don’t say anything.“The you who called me on my bullshit before I started pretending I didn’t have any.”He pauses, then adds, “and because my AI house played ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ three times in a row, and I think it might be gaining sentience. I’m not sure I trust it anymore.”I bite back a laugh. “Are you high?”“Nope. Just desperate. And probably concussed. I hit my head on a drainpipe trying to climb up.”I shake my head, torn between amused and furious and… something else.And that something else is dangerous.Because it feels like hope.Because his voice still gets
