The Billionaire's Binding Proposal ~ 183
Chapter 183~Niklaus~She was still talking.I did not mind.Kesley had started explaining her idea the moment I asked when she wanted to begin and she had not really stopped since. She was leaning forward on the kitchen island now, hands moving as she spoke, eyes bright in a way I had not seen before. Not her usual nervous self. Like this thing she was describing had been on her mind for a long time."It would not just be a company that hires women," she was saying. "That part is important but it is not enough on its own. I want there to be a training arm. A structured program for women who have the ability but not the access. Because that is the real problem. It is not that women cannot do the work. It is that nobody gives them the environment to prove it." She stopped and looked at me. "Does that make sense or am I rambling?""You are rambling," I said. "Keep going." I smiled.She laughed and then caught herself. "Okay but seriously. I know it is a big idea. I know I do not have a

Chapter 182~Fred~I had a free day.This was not something that happened often. Niklaus ran a tight schedule and I ran alongside it, which meant free days were rare enough that I sometimes did not know what to do with them when they arrived. I had woken up at six anyway, because my body apparently did not believe in sleeping in regardless of the occasion, and by six thirty I was already in my running clothes heading out of the building.The morning air was cool. I settled into a comfortable pace and let my mind go quiet. No schedule, no calls, no list of things to coordinate. Just a free time for me.I had been running for about twenty minutes when I nearly collided with a group of men coming around a corner from the building next to ours. Three of them, mid conversation, none of them paying attention to where they were going. I sidestepped at the last second and one of them grabbed my arm to steady himself."Sorry man, my fault," he said.I nodded and was about to keep moving when

Chapter 181~Kesley~Something was poking me.I shifted, still half asleep, trying to move away from whatever it was. Then I realized there was something else. A weight. Warm and heavy, resting across my chest, pinning me gently in place. I frowned and shifted again, trying to figure out what was happening without fully waking up.The weight moved with me.Then I heard it. A low, quiet sound. Somewhere between a warning and a groan."You might want to stop moving, princess."My eyes flew open.Niklaus was half on top of me. His head was resting on my chest, one arm thrown across my waist, his hair completely scattered from however it had looked last night. His eyes were still closed but his jaw was tight in the way of someone who was very much awake and very much aware of the situation.I became aware of the situation at exactly the same moment.I moved so fast I nearly fell off the edge of the bed. I scrambled upright, grabbed the nearest cushion for no reason, and backed toward the

Chapter 180~Rebecca~The first perfume bottle hit the wall before I even made the decision to throw it.It shattered on impact, the smell filling the room all at once, heavy and suffocating. I stood there looking at the glass on the floor and then I reached for the second one and threw that too. Then the third. Then I swept my arm across the dressing table and sent everything on it crashing. Creams, earrings, a small jewelry box, a framed photo. All of it on the floor.I stood in the middle of it breathing hard.The room smelled so heavy that it was almost choking. My hands were shaking. My chest felt tight and no matter how many things I knocked over it did not get any lighter.I had planned everything perfectly. Every single detail. The timing, the information, the HR contact, Helen, the moment I had chosen to stand up and speak. I had built it carefully over weeks. And grandfather had me like he had been waiting for me to try exactly that, and dismantled all of it in under minutes

Chapter 179~Niklaus~I had come down for water.I can't believe I just got married, and I loved her but she doesn't know.I was standing at the counter in just my boxers when I heard the soft pad of feet on the stairs. I turned around and there she was in the doorway, hair loose, robe tied loosely at the waist, cheeks still flushed from her bath. She looked like she had something to say. Her mouth was open and everything, ready to talk about whatever thought had brought her downstairs at this hour.Then her eyes dropped.The words died completely.Ohh! I was just in my boxers. I didn't think she was going to come down again. She spun around so fast. "I am so sorry, I didn't know you were….. I should have knocked, this is a kitchen, you don't knock on a kitchen, what are you saying Kesley? I'm sorry…." She rambled, clearly embarrassed."Kesley.""Yes?""Nothing you haven't seen before." I said with a smirk.She did not say anything. I was smiling now."I was not looking," she said f

Chapter 178~Kesley~The car was quiet on the way out of the venue.I sat beside Niklaus in the backseat and stared out the window at the city moving past us in the dark. My bouquet was on my lap. My heels were starting to pinch. My head was still processing everything that had happened in that room with Rebecca and grandfather and father and Helen standing there like the evening had decided it wanted to be a courtroom drama instead of a wedding reception."You knew," I said finally.Niklaus did not look up from his phone. "Hmm.""You knew she was coming with something. That is why you were so calm." I turned to look at him. "You knew the whole time."He put his phone down and looked at me with that expression he had when he was deciding how much to say. Then he said, "I found out she was using someone from HR to dig into your records about two days ago.""Two days ago." I stared at him. "And you said nothing?""I didn't want you to worry.""Niklaus.""You had things to deal with. Yo

Chapter 60 ~ Kesley ~The elevator climbed toward the 7th floor, and I stood there clutching the bag of burgers, my heart pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears.I was panting. Actually panting like I'd just run a marathon instead of speed-walking twenty feet to an elevator.My reflection sta

Chapter 45 ~ Kesley ~The moment I ended the call with Niklaus, my entire body started shaking.I'd done it. I'd actually done it.Called him. Agreed to meet. Started the process of selling six months of my life for fifty million dollars."Oh my God," I whispered, staring at my phone like it was a

Chapter 43 ~ Kesley ~I stared at Taraji like she'd lost her mind."How?" I said, my voice rising. "How the hell am I supposed to pull that off, Taraji? I'm not Aria. I'm Kesley Bellamy. His employee. The junior data analyst he personally hired less than a week ago. The one whose work he complimen

Chapter 36 ~ Kesley ~"I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY!"Whitney Houston blasted through my apartment speakers as I sang along at the top of my lungs, wielding my mop like a microphone.This was exactly what I needed. A perfect Saturday morning. No work. No stress. No billionaire CEOs ambushing me at
