The Billionaire's Binding Proposal ~ 166
Chapter 166~Rebecca~I threw the glass against the wall.It shattered on impact, pieces scattering across the marble floor, and I felt absolutely nothing. I didn't feel relief or satisfaction. Just a hot, buzzing anger that I have had since the gala when grandfather announced the wedding and now, an invitation.And now, meeting Kelsey's family. Not a phone call, not a heads up, not even the basic courtesy of being told in person. Just a text.Like I was not a Specter."Rebecca." Max's voice came from the doorway of the bedroom. He was leaning against the frame with his arms crossed, watching me the way he always did when I was like this. "That was from the set your mother left you." Talking about the glass."I know what it was from." I turned away from him and walked to the window.What was grandfather and father thinking? Niklaus was about to get everything because he is marrying a woman nobody had heard of before. A woman who had appeared from nowhere, smiled at Grandfather, and s

Chapter 165~Kesley~ I was sitting on the chair in my bedroom when I dialed Taraji’s number. She was still at the hospital with Kim, balancing her time between being a supportive friend and moving into her new apartment. She had taken the entire week off work to help me prepare for the wedding and also she could settle in her new apartment. The Specter family was handling every single detail. It was seamless. All I had to do was send a few notes to the event planner about my dress, the flowers and the cake. I had never wanted a loud, flashy wedding, so the simplicity made me happy. I had always wanted something that won't make me think so much.I put the phone on speaker as Taraji picked up."It feels surreal, T." I said, leaning back. "The wedding is in three days. I need to put my big girl pants on. Everyone thinks I should be glowing with excitement, and I keep telling myself this was in the contract... but it's happening so fast.""I can’t believe it’s in three days either, Kel

Chapter 164~Kesley~ The panic had been like a heavy weight in my chest ever since my mother cornered me in the kitchen. When she demanded to meet Niklaus, I was sure everything was over. I spent the whole morning walking in circles, trying to think of excuses. He’s too busy. He’s in a big meeting. He’s out of town.Then, my phone buzzed. I had sent him a text telling him he had to come, even though I was sure he would say no.No problem. I will be there tomorrow. I stared at the screen. My heart was thumping. He was actually coming.…The next day, I had woken up extra early to go to the restaurant and wait there for him so I could see how he looked, analysing him before getting to my mother. I was outside the restaurant waiting for him.A little while later, a shiny, black luxury car pulled up to the restaurant. In his fancy grey shirt, he looked way too big for our living room when he enters, way too big for our whole neighborhood.After I sat down and he spoke to me, trying to

Chapter 163~Niklaus~By the time I broke away from the investors and returned to the spot where I’d left her, the space was empty. She had gone. She wasn't anywhere in sight. I felt a sharp spike of panic rise in my chest. "Kesley?" I muttered, my eyes darting through the crowded ballroom. Seeing through a lot of tuxedos and evening gowns felt like a suffocating maze. I scanned the hall, looking for a pretty girl in her gown, but there was nothing. My gaze landed on Rebecca, who was holding court near the buffet. She looked up, caught my eye, and offered a cold, smug tilt of her head. For a moment, I suspected her was capable of anything, but her stillness suggested she was merely enjoying my sudden distress rather than causing it.Fred appeared at my shoulder, sensing the shift in my energy. "Sir? Is something wrong?""She’s gone, Fred. Find her.""I'll check the security feeds immediately," Fred replied, his voice a calm anchor against my rising frustration. As Fred disappeared

Chapter 162~Taraji~I practically stormed out of the hospital, I was eager to hear what Kesley had for me. My fury was directed at Niklaus. By the time I burst into the apartment, I was ready to swing at something.That was how much I was ready to do for my best friend. I found Kesley slumped on the sofa, looking like she’d been put through a paper shredder."Okay, spill it," I demanded, dropping my bag with a heavy thud. "I’ve seen the headlines, I’ve heard the whispers, and if even ten percent of it is true, I am going to need a very sharp pair of scissors and Niklaus's home address."Kesley looked up, her eyes hollow. "It’s worse than the headlines, T. Grandfather announced the wedding. Three days. He did it in front of the press, the board, everyone."My jaw hit the floor. I began pacing the small living room, my hands flying as I talked. "Three days? Who does he think he is? Some sort of corporate deity? I am going to castrate him, Kesley. I’ll make sure he can’t even sit down

Chapter 161~Kesley~"What? Marriage? In four days?"Everything felt blurry. Niklaus opened his mouth to explain, his eyes searching mine, but Fred appeared where we were standing, whispering urgently. Something required his immediate attention."I’ll be back, Kesley. I promise," Niklaus said, his expression clouded with guilt. "We’ll figure this out together."I watched him walk away. Around me, the party continued in a swirl of champagne and laughter. Everyone else was celebrating, but for me, the weight of everything I signed up for had just crashed down. I knew the wedding was part of the deal, a necessary step for Niklaus to secure his position as CEO, but four days? This was what I’d signed up for, yet why did my chest feel like it was being squeezed?A single tear escaped and tracked down my cheek. I wiped it away quickly, gripping my clutch until my knuckles turned white. I couldn’t stay here. I needed to move. Fast.Avoiding the main entrance, I slipped through a side exit.

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
