The Billionaire's Binding Proposal ~ 160
Chapter 160~Kesley~The apology from Niklaus had caught me off guard. There was a raw sincerity in his voice that I hadn’t expected, and for a moment, the icy wall I’d built around myself started to crumble. I wanted to tell him it was okay, that I understood the world he lived in and the beef he had with his sister. But before the words could leave my lips, the music shifted. The tradition of the partner-switch, and I was swept away into the arms of the next man in line.I tried to keep my head on straight. Niklaus was charming, yes, and his apology felt real, but I couldn't let my guard down entirely. I had too much at stake. Across the room, I caught Rebecca’s gaze. She was glaring at me with such intensity that I felt the heat of it from yards away. Instead of looking down, I straightened my posture and met her eyes with a cold, level stare of my own. I wasn't a scared little girl. I wasn't about to bow down to her or anyone else in this hall.The partner switch brought me face

Chapter 159~ Niklaus ~The ballroom was filled with people and the crowd made it noisy, but my focus was narrowed to a single point across the room. Kesley. Grandfather was leading her through the crowd like a prized jewel, and I found it increasingly difficult to pretend I was interested in the tech jargon being spewed by the CEO standing in front of me.“The integration of AI in the latest Specter model is…”“Yes, fascinating,” I interrupted, my eyes tracking the way the black fabric of her gown caught the light. I followed the gaze of several other men in the room. Near the buffet, I saw Dante and a few other guys from the office. They weren't even trying to be subtle. They were staring at her with an intensity that made my jaw tighten. But knowing they knew her as a worker too was something I haven't handled. I will discuss it with Dante on Monday.A familiar presence moved into my peripheral vision. Fred stepped up beside me, his expression as unreadable as ever, though his e

Chapter 158~Kesley~I sat on the edge of the bed, staring into my phone while reading the document and trying to stick the words to my head. My mother had since returned to the hospital to take over and be with Kim for the night. Kim was recovering remarkably well, her vitals stabilizing with every passing hour, though the doctors remained adamant about her being cautious.The relief of her recovery was the only thing keeping me together despite everything these past days. A frantic knock at the door announced Taraji’s arrival. She burst in, practically vibrating with excitement.She entered and moved to the box.I stood up and opened the lid. The black gown inside seemed to absorb the light in the room. It was stunning, a midnight-black Cinderella dress that managed to look both royal and dangerous.“Whoa,” Taraji breathed, leaning over my shoulder. “Niklaus Specter clearly knows fashion because whattt. You’re going to look like a queen.”“I know,” I whispered, looking at the lar

Chapter 157~Taraji~After dropping Kesley off at the hospital, the silence in the car felt heavy. My mind was filled with worry of the deal Kesley had struck with Niklaus Specter and with what was trending currently. But I had my own life to face. I couldn't keep living like this. Burdening my friend. I needed a fortress.I gripped the steering wheel and navigated toward the address provided by the real estate agent I’d contacted earlier that morning. As I pulled up to the building. It was stunning, a sleek, modern facade of glass and stone that just looked "premium." A knot tightened in my stomach. I knew right then that the price wasn't going to be cheap, but maybe that was what I needed.I stepped into the lobby. I moved toward the elevator and pressed the button for the fourth floor, exactly as I’d been instructed.The doors slid open. Standing in the hallway was the agent. He was a striking man, likely in his late thirties, with a pale skin and he looked so buff. He looked mo

Chapter 156~Kesley~Today was the day of the gala. I was lowkey looking forward to it before and now I felt reluctant to go for it.Niklaus had gotten a gown, shoe and even jewelry delivered to me this morning. I haven't checked it yet. It was still wrapped in the box, I placed it on the bed. There was a note in it. I didn't check it. Taraji came in. She saw me staring down sadly. “You girl are going to go to the gala with poise, your head up and a beautiful smile. Do not let anyone walk over you.” “But….the news. Some people now believe I am a boyfriend snatcher.” “I am not going to hear any of that. Look, no matter what you do, the world is still going to judge you. Do not listen to anything that they have to say.She told me holding my shoulder. Now, I am going to get you all dolled up. You are going to work there and turn their heads. I nodded and gave her a small sad smile. She was doing all she can to cheer me up and somehow, it reminds me that she was going to always be

Chapter 155~Niklaus~She had spoken on the phone like everything she saw meant absolutely nothing.Like she wasn't bothered by it.Doesn't she feel anything for me? Was it just the gain for her? But why does it feel like she does? Everything is just so confusing.I dropped my phone on the couch and just sat down, leaning my head to the back.This was a mess.The apartment was quiet. Fred had gone out to meet up with the lawyer to clear all the pictures and sue the press.I kept replaying the call. Her tone was so bland that I couldn't make out how she felt. Most girls scream crazily at a discovery like this. Or had it been because it was just a contract?She had just sounded unbothered and that was somehow that hurts.So all of it meant nothing to her? None of it?I rubbed my jaw.Then the date. She had cancelled the date.The errand story was the weakest thing I had ever heard in my life. She hadn't even put effort into it. She just wanted to disappear from me. I knew it and she kne

Chapter 83~ Kesley ~I had barely finished saying the words when the suite door burst open.Fred came rushing in, his jacket slightly disheveled, his glasses askew, clearly having run from wherever he'd been.And then he stopped dead.Because I was standing there in my brassiere and panties.Becau

Chapter 71~ Kesley ~I couldn't wait in the office anymore.The clock had hit 4:45 and there was still no word from Taraji. My desk felt like a cage, the walls of my cubicle closing in with every passing minute. The silence of the nearly empty department was oppressive, making every small sound—th

Chapter 58 ~ Kesley ~I stepped into the restaurant, Dante's credit card clutched in my sweaty palm like it might disappear if I loosened my grip.The place was nicer than I'd expected. Much nicer.Polished wood floors. Soft lighting. The kind of casual-upscale aesthetic that said "we're approacha
