The Billionaire's Binding Proposal ~ 226
Chapter 226~Kesley~The spotlight made me feel like I have achieved something great. This was a start of women being recognized in the tech field. Surely there are lot of women who are tech skilled. This was my moment. This was what I had worked for during that long month of hiding."Technology isn't just about code," I said into the microphone, my voice gaining strength with every word. "It’s about solving problems. It’s about making life easier for people who feel forgotten. As women, we see the world differently, and that is our greatest superpower."The room was silent. Every person was leaning in, listening to me. For the first time in my life, I felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I wasn't just a "contract wife" or a girl struggling so hard to make ends meet. I was doing something I loved.As I moved through my speech, my eyes drifted to the very back row. The shadows were deep there, but I noticed a man sitting by himself. He had a dark cap pulled low over his

Chapter 225~Fred~It has been a day.I looked at Niklaus through the rearview mirror. He was leaning his head against the window, his eyes closed, looking more defeated than I had ever seen him. He had just made the hardest choice of his life, choosing his family over the woman he loved.I felt like a traitor. My loyalty to Niklaus was supposed to be absolute. I was his assistant, his right-hand man, and his best friend. But lately, my heart was pulling me in a completely different direction. He needs me more than ever and I cannot be rubbing my love life to his face.Every time my phone buzzed with a message from Taraji, I felt a spark of happiness that had nothing to do with whatever was going on.Once Niklaus was settled at the private airport lounge, I stepped outside into the cool night air. I needed to breathe. I needed to talk to someone, who makes me happy. I pulled out my phone and dialed Taraji’s number before I could talk myself out of it."Fred? It’s late," she said, her

Chapter 224~Niklaus~The box in my hand felt like it was going to snap under my grip. The image of Kesley in Jude’s arms was burned into my mind like a brand. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw her smile, that bright, effortless smile that she used to give to me. Now, she was giving it to him.A jealous rage was boiling in my chest, but I forced myself to take a deep breath. I couldn't be the man who stormed in and broke things anymore. I had done enough of that. I had to be professional. I had to be calm."Find a coffee shop, Fred," I said. "The one that is not close or too far from here.""Niklaus, maybe we should just go back to the city," Fred suggested gently. "You're not in the right headspace for this.""I’m not leaving," I snapped, then softened my tone. "I’m staying in this town until I fix this. Find the shop."Ten minutes later, we were sitting in a small, busy cafe. I didn't have to wait long. I had someone check in Jude’s routine. I was checking it when I surprisingly,

Chapter 223~Kesley~The community center was completely filled up. I had only ever dreamed of creating something like this, I did not think it was going to be possible. This was it. My biggest achievement. The culmination of a month of sweat, tears, and long nights staring at lines of code until my eyes blurred.I adjusted a stack of pamphlets on the registration desk, my hands shaking just a little. I should have been purely happy, but Jude’s words from the previous day kept echoing in my mind.I shook my head, trying to toss the thought of Niklaus away. I couldn't afford to think about him, not today. I had to focus on the women who were coming from different places to hear me speak. I had to focus on the project that was finally giving me a sense of purpose."Kesley? You’re over-thinking arrangement of everything." a familiar, playful voice said.I looked up to see Jude standing there. For the past few weeks, Jude had been more than just a friend. He had been super supportive.

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 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 11~ Niklaus ~I would recognize that outfit anywhere.Simple black pants, white blouse, navy blazer. The same desperate woman from the traffic light this morning, surrounded by shattered electronics and an angry delivery person. She'd caught my attention then — something about the way she'd

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
