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 complimented in front of my entire department!"

The reality of it hit me all over again, making my knees weak.

"He comes to my cubicle, basically knows there is an employee of his named Kesley Bellamy" I was p

  • The Billionaire's Binding Proposal   ~ 143

    Chapter 143~ Kesley ~It was Monday morning and I wasn't going to work. After getting the text from Niklaus. I didn't even know how to respond. But leaving it probably wasn't a good idea. I was at the hospital with my sister. My mum had gone home to prepare something and Taraji had gone to work. Duty calls. And here was I just sitting around in the hospital. Kim was fast asleep and time seemed to be going slowly. I was bored out of my mind but I kept myself hooked up by watching a Korean movie. It was the only thing that kept me going and I could use it to while away time.I wonder what people in the department will say after hearing I had resigned. Will they be happy? Or disappointed? Will they say they knew that was what I was going to eventually do? Everything kept replaying in my mind but I decided not to focus on it. On the contract, work, Niklaus. Especially him. Mum came back to the hospital about an hour later. She brought food. Soup for Kim because the doctor has given h

    Chapter 142~Niklaus~Strange to admit but I miss Kesley. Seeing that ring on her finger did something to my chest. I wondered in my heart if this was real or I was still lying to myself in the pretense of a fake fiance. Whatever it is, to take the company's CEO position was my main focus. I smiled at everything that happened. She was just herself. She did not have to do anything too much, she was just naturally beautiful. And being with her….. It felt so real, not something casual. It was a intimate moment that I cherished and I wished it did not end that quickly. But I needed her to know she deserves more than that boy she probably still has feelings for. Dan or whatever his name is. Choosing to be oblivious, well, my luck. I took my phone and looked at our pictures. Indeed, it was really an adorable one. She looked a bit exhausted but flawless regardless. I thought of texting her. Telling her not to come to work again, as she was now officially my fiancee. The mark she bears

    Chapter 141~ Niklaus ~The penthouse felt empty.Sunday evening settling into that particular quietness that came before a busy work week. But instead of reviewing reports or preparing for Monday's meetings, I found myself standing in the living room.The same room where she'd taken charge, administered the injection with steady hands despite her panic, stayed with me until I was stable.The same room where I'd kissed her for the first time. Where we'd almost had sex before she'd stopped me with three words: I'm a virgin.I smiled at the memory. At how those words had changed everything in that moment. How I'd gone from desperate need to careful restraint in seconds.And then Friday night at Melony, we'd finally…My body responded to the memory before my mind could stop it. The way she'd felt beneath me. How tight she'd been, how I'd had to go so slowly, fighting every instinct to just take what I wanted. The sounds she'd made. The way she'd looked at me afterward.Sweet. Wet. Imposs

    Chapter 140~ Kesley ~"No, absolutely not. You're not leaving this booth until I get every single detail." Taraji had her arms crossed, blocking my exit with the determination of someone who would not be denied."Taraji, we're in public…""Then whisper. But I am not letting you drop a bomb like 'I lost my virginity to Niklaus Specter' and then refuse to elaborate." She leaned forward, eyes gleaming. "Start from the beginning. How did it even happen?"I glanced around the restaurant. Most people had returned to their own conversations after Taraji's outburst, but I still felt exposed."Fine," I hissed, keeping my voice low. "But you cannot react loudly again.""I promise nothing. Now talk."I took a breath and started from the beginning. The shared room. The one bed. Niklaus insisting on taking the couch. Me lying awake thinking about the kiss from the penthouse. The heat. The awareness of him just feet away."And then I heard him moving around," I continued, my face heating at the me

    Chapter 139~ Kesley ~The transplant coordinator's office was small but efficient, walls covered with certificates and success stories—photos of smiling patients post-surgery, holding signs that read "2 Years Strong" or "New Life, New Me."I sat between Mom and Kim, my hands clasped tightly in my lap, as the coordinator — a middle-aged woman named Dr. Patricia reviewed Kim's file on her computer."Alright," Dr. Patricia said finally, turning to face us with a professional smile. "I've reviewed Kim's medical history and recent test results. She's a good candidate for transplant. We'll need to run a full evaluation over the next few days, but preliminarily, I'm optimistic."Kim's hand found mine and squeezed. Hard."What's the timeline?" Mom asked, her lawyer voice firmly in place. "How long until she can have the surgery?""That depends on several factors. We need to complete the evaluation, get her on the transplant list, find a suitable donor match..." Dr. Patricia pulled up somethi

    Chapter 138~ Niklaus ~I drove home in silence, the city lights blurring past my windows as my mind replayed the weekend on an endless loop.Kesley collapsing on the boat. The panic that had seized my chest when she'd gone down. The hospital. Her determination to leave despite the doctor's orders.And before all of that — the night we'd spent together. The sex.God, the sex.I'd been with women before. Plenty of them. Helen and I had been together for three years and the physical aspect had been good. Satisfying. Comfortable in the way long-term relationships became.But with Kesley, it had been something else entirely.Maybe it was because she'd been a virgin — that trust she'd placed in me, that vulnerability. Maybe it was the way she'd responded to every touch like her body was discovering sensation for the first time. Maybe it was just her, the specific chemistry between us that made everything feel heightened and urgent and necessary.Whatever it was, I couldn't stop thinking ab
