The Billionaire's Binding Proposal ~ 224
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 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 31 ~ Niklaus ~I watched her squirm in her seat, her eyes darting everywhere except at my face, her hands twisting nervously in her lap.She was trying to find words. Any words. Some explanation for why comparing me to a small African rodent had seemed like a reasonable course of action.B
