로그인Chapter 265~Niklaus~The grand hall of the new Tech Inn. was filled with so many people, and the bright flashes of cameras. Years ago, this building was just a dream in Kesley’s notebook. Today, it was the headquarters of the most talked-about tech company in the country after SpecterTech. But to me, before SpecterTech I stood near the edge of the stage, leaning against a pillar with my arms crossed over my chest. I was here as a husband. Every time I looked at the giant logo on the wall, Tech Inn. felt a swell of pride so strong it made my chest ache.I watched Kesley move through the crowd. She was wearing a stunning emerald green dress that made her eyes glow. She moved with a confidence that made people stop and stare. She wasn't the shy girl from the small town anymore."You look like you're about to burst, Niklaus," a voice chuckled beside me.I turned to see my father standing there, a glass of sparkling cider in his hand. He looked younger these days, the stress of the past
Chapter 264~Niklaus~The big house was completely silent when we returned from the registry office. I held her hand tightly during the drive, my thumb stroking her new wedding ring. As soon as we stepped inside and locked the front door, I pulled her against my body and kissed her with raw hunger.My hands moved over her curves as our tongues met passionately. I unzipped her delicate white silk dress and let it fall to the floor. She stood before me in just her white lace bra and matching panties. My cock throbbed hard, pressing against her stomach.“You’re truly my wife now, Kesley,” I growled softly against her lips. I quickly removed my own clothes, dropping my shirt, trousers, and boxers. My thick, hard cock stood ready. I lifted her in my arms and carried her upstairs to our large bedroom. The afternoon light streamed through the windows, making her skin glow. I laid her gently on our big bed and took a moment to admire her beauty.I unhooked her bra, freeing her full breasts,
Chapter 263~Kesley~The house felt strangely quiet this morning. Taraji and Fred had officially left for their honeymoon yesterday.Niklaus had been acting strange since the moment he woke up. He didn't put on his usual three-piece suit. He didn't pick up his tablet to check the development of the site they are building. Instead, he took the day off. He had a mysterious glint in his eye, a little smirk that told me he was hiding a very big secret."Kesley, love," he said, leaning against the doorframe of our bedroom. "I need you to get ready. I’ve laid something out for you in the dressing room."I walked into the dressing room and gasped. Laid out on the velvet chair was a new dress. It wasn't a heavy, formal gown. It was soft, white, and made of the most delicate silk I had ever touched. It looked like a dream."Niklaus, what is this for?" I asked, looking back at him. "Are we going to a party?""Not a party," he said, walking over to wrap his arms around my waist from behind. He k
Chapter 262~Kesley~The sun was shining so brightly today. I stood in the small room at the back of the church, smoothing out the fabric of my bridesmaid dress. It was a soft, elegant color that made me feel like I was part of a dream. But today wasn’t about me. Today was the day Taraji, my best friend, my protector, and the sister I chose for myself, was going to marry the man of her dreams.I looked over at Taraji, and I almost lost my breath. She looked like an angel. Her white dress flowed around her like a cloud, and her veil was so light it seemed to float in the air. She was standing in front of a full-length mirror, staring at her reflection with wide, nervous eyes."Kesley," she whispered, her voice shaking just a little bit. "Is this real? Am I really doing this?"I walked over and took her hands in mine. They were a little cold. "It’s very real, Taraji. You’re about to walk down that aisle and start the most beautiful chapter of your life. You look stunning."Amanda stepp
Chapter 261~Taraji~The room was a beautiful disaster. Everywhere I looked, there were rolls of white lace, samples of silk ribbons, and so in. In the middle of all the chaos stood a mannequin wearing my wedding dress. It was simple, elegant, and perfect. Looking at it made my heart do a little somersault. I was actually doing this. I was getting married to Fred.I had made the gown myself. I was the stylist for my wedding."Taraji, if you bite your lip one more time, you’re going to need stitches before the ceremony," a voice teased from the corner.I turned around and smiled at my bridesmaids. Kesley was there, of course, looking radiant as she helped me organize the seating charts. But right next to her was someone I never thought I would see in my circle.Amanda.She was busy steaming the bridesmaid dresses, her face calm. When I had first suggested we include Amanda, Kesley was a bit nervous. We all had a rocky history because of Dan, but Amanda was not a bad person. She had a
Chapter 260~Fred~The office was quiet. Niklaus was sitting at his desk, I was opposite him. He was staring at a small, velvet box in his hand, flipping the lid open and shut, open and shut.I stood by the window, watching him. It was strange to see the big intimidating CEO looking so nervous about a piece of jewelry. Well I have been there."I want to do it right this time, Fred," Niklaus said, his voice unusually quiet. He looked up at me, and I saw a vulnerability in his eyes that he only ever showed when Kesley’s name was mentioned. "No lawyers. No witnesses for a signature. No business deal. I want to propose to her properly. Something intimate, just for us. She has been through so much because of me. She deserves this.” I nodded, leaning against the glass. Niklaus sighed, a small smile playing on his lips. "I’ve spent my whole life planning takeovers and mergers, but trying to figure out the perfect way to ask a woman to stay with me forever has me shaking in my boots.""You'

Chapter 26 ~ Niklaus ~I couldn't breathe, comprehend or process what this woman—this real Taraji Gilbert—was telling me."The woman you met," she was saying, tears streaming down her face now, her voice breaking with every word, "I hired her to pretend to be me because I didn't want…""Stop." The

Chapter 58 ~ Kesley ~I stepped into the restaurant, Dante's credit card clutched in my sweaty palm like it might disappear if I loosened my grip.The place was nicer than I'd expected. Much nicer.Polished wood floors. Soft lighting. The kind of casual-upscale aesthetic that said "we're approacha
