The Billionaire's Binding Proposal ~ 222
Chapter 222~Niklaus~The town was smaller than I expected, it looked like a quiet place. Stepping down from the car, I could not wait to see her. Fred had followed me.I adjusted my coat, feeling a nervous flutter in my chest that I hadn't felt since I was a teenager. I wasn't here as the powerful heir to the Specter Group today. I was just a man looking for the woman he loves so much and wants to claim her back.I didn't want to scare her. I knew if I just barged into her life, she would bolt and I did not want that. I had to be careful. I had to be smart."Is this the place, Fred?" I asked, looking up at the modest community center."According to the flyer for the 'EmpowerTech' event, this is it," Fred replied, stepping up beside me. He looked around, his hands deep in his pockets. "It’s quiet. No one here knows who you are, Niklaus. No press presence. Try not to stand out too much.” He said giving a small smile to ease the tension."I’m trying," I said.We walked inside. There was

Chapter 221~Niklaus~The hospital hallway was too quiet. It had been a month since the call that nearly stopped my heart, the news that my father had collapsed. Luckily, the doctors said he was going to be fine, but the scare had changed everything. My relationship with Grandfather was really strained. We didn't argue anymore; we just didn't speak unless it is important and it concerns the company. He hadn't mentioned the CEO position again, and I didn't ask. I didn't care about the title anymore.I threw myself into my work. I was always at work, I threw myself into something that will take my mind off everything. This new attitude was starting to make Rebecca very nervous. I could see it in the way she hovered near my office and the way her hands shook during board meetings. She knew I was coming for her."She’s on edge, Niklaus," Fred said, closing my office door with a soft click. He laid a thick folder on my desk. "You have been too quiet and that is making her wonder what you

Chapter 220~Kesley~"You are a stubborn woman, Kesley! Did you really think you could hide from me forever?" Taraji’s voice had boomed through my tiny new apartment three weeks ago.I smiled at the memory as I organized my desk. I remembered that night vividly, the way she had hunted me down."How did you even find me, Taraji?" I had asked, leaning against the doorframe in shock."I called every tech hub and co-working space within a three-hundred-mile radius," she snapped, though she was already pulling me into a hug. "You left a note, what were you thinking? You can’t just vanish on your best friend. Then I had told her I wanted to do something“Now, tell me, is this it? Is this the dream you were talking about?""It’s the start," I had told her. "I want to build a space where women can learn to code without feeling like they don't belong. It’s small, Taraji. It’s not global, but it’s mine."Now, a month had passed. The initiative was growing faster than I expected. It turned out

Chapter 219~Niklaus~The Specter mansion felt colder than usual as I walked through the massive front doors. I was heading to my grandfather’s study. I had decided I didn't care about the board members or the stocks anymore. All I could think about was Kesley's face the last time I saw her.I found Grandfather sitting behind his desk. He didn't say a word at first. He just stared at me with those sharp, gray eyes that seemed to see through every lie I had ever told. He let the silence stretch out, trying to make me feel small. "I have one proposition for you, Niklaus," Grandfather finally said. His voice was calm. "If you agree to it, I will look over everything you have done. The scandal, the fake marriage…. I will make it all go away. Your name will be clean again."I leaned against the doorframe, my hands shoved deep into my pockets. I didn't even bother to sit down. "And what is the price for this kindness?""Leave the girl alone," he said. It wasn't a request. It was an order.

Chapter 218~Fred~It had been three days since the world fell apart at the Specter mansion, and I felt like I had aged ten years. My life had become a constant cycle of checking on Niklaus, answering angry phone calls from the board members, and trying to keep my own head above water. I had barely seen Taraji in all that time. Niklaus was in a dark place, and as his best friend, I couldn't just leave him to drown in his own guilt.We texted, of course. We sent small messages back and forth. "Are you okay?" and just generally ask about her day. The weight of the break up had put a heavy strain on us too. It was hard to be romantic when your best friend is falling apart and the woman you like is protecting the person he's desperately searching for. I felt like I was caught in the middle of a tug-of-war, and I was starting to fray at the edges.Every time I looked at my phone, I hoped for a message from Taraji that would fix everything, but the silence between us was growing louder.T

Chapter 217~Taraji~The classroom was a mess of glitter, glue sticks, and laughter. This was my happy place. Being a teacher meant that for eight hours a day, I didn’t have to think about the anything, my own drama with my parents. I just had to worry about whether Leo was going to eat his blue crayon or if Sarah was ever going to finish her drawing of a giraffe."Okay, class! Listen up!" I clapped my hands in a rhythm, and twenty little heads looked up. "If your giraffe has five legs, it might be a monster. Let’s stick to four, please!"The kids giggled. Leo held up his blue crayon, his mouth stained slightly sapphire. "But Miss Gilbert, my giraffe is an alien!""Well, alien giraffes are allowed, but only if they don't eat the crayons," I said, winking at him. I loved these moments. They were simple. They were real.Just as I was helping a student with their scissors, the door opened. I looked up and saw Amanda walking in. She had taken a lot of time off work lately, and honestly, t

Chapter 14~ Kesley ~I stood in front of the full-length mirror, barely recognizing myself.The dress Taraji had bought for me was... something. Bright red, skin-tight, with a neckline that plunged so low it was practically illegal, worse than the one I had worn previously. The fabric clung to eve

Chapter 8 ~ Niklaus ~ The leather seat of the Mercedes was cool against my back as Fred navigated through Monday morning traffic. I stared out the tinted window, watching the city wake up — coffee shops filling with bleary-eyed workers clutching their cups like lifelines, street vendors setting
