The Billionaire's Binding Proposal ~ 181
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 177~Taraji~Something was wrong.I could feel. One minute the reception was moving along beautifully and the next, grandfather had stood up from his seat with that look on his face, father had followed, and Niklaus had taken Kesley's hand and they had all disappeared into one of the side rooms off the main hall.Rebecca had gone in too.That was the part that worried me most.I stood near the entrance of the hall and watched the door they had gone through like it was going to give me answers if I stared hard enough. The remaining guests were starting to filter out, saying their goodbyes, collecting their things. The waitstaff moved quietly around the emptying room, clearing glasses and folding napkins. Everything looked perfectly normal and I felt anything but.Fred appeared beside me. He had been coordinating with the driver to take Kesley's mum back to the hospital. She had lasted well into the evening but exhaustion had finally caught up with her and she had hugged me good

Chapter 176~Niklaus~I had been waiting for Rebecca to make her move all evening.I just did not expect her to make it quite that way.I stood very still as she finished talking. The room had gone quiet in that particular way that told me people were pretending not to listen while listening to every single word. Grandfather's face was unreadable. Father had that blank expression of his that most people mistook for calm but that I had spent thirty years learning to read correctly.He was not calm.Kesley's hand was in mine. I felt her fingers tighten slightly when Helen walked in. I tightened back, just once, just enough to tell her I had her. She did not look at me but I felt some of the tension leave her shoulders.I kept my face completely neutral.Rebecca was still talking, her voice clear and deliberate, making sure every word carried. I watched her the way you watch someone walk confidently toward something they do not realize is a wall. Patient. Almost sorry for them. Almost.S

Chapter 21 ~ Kesley ~I woke up feeling like death.My eyes were puffy and swollen from crying myself to sleep. My head was pounding from too much wine. My heart felt like someone had taken a sledgehammer to it.I stared at my ceiling, replaying last night over and over.Amanda's perfect smile. Da

Chapter 18~ Niklaus ~I stood on the sidewalk, watching Taraji disappear around the corner for the second time in one night.What the hell just happened?One moment she was running away from me, comparing me to a meerkat of all things. The next she was throwing herself into my arms, pressing again

Chapter 16 ~ Niklaus ~I watched Taraji's face carefully, trying to understand what was happening. This didn't make sense. None of it made sense.First of all, I wasn't pursuing her because of her family's textile business. The thought was almost laughable. Yes, the Gilberts had money and connect

Chapter 13~ Kesley ~Wednesday came too fast.Way too fast.I'd barely survived my first day at SpecterTech. Tuesday had been orientation — endless paperwork, badge photos, IT setup, and a tour of the building that I barely paid attention to because I was too busy trying not to run into Niklaus.I
