The Billionaire's Dangerous Vows Chapter Nineteen: Curated Prey
Cole roughed his hair for the umpteeth time, pacing across the living room with heavy, restless strides. For a split second, as the harsh overhead light caught his profile, I could see the thick, dark veins bulging violently at his temple, pulsing with barely restrained fury. Fabian stood completely still near the far wall, his dark eyes tracking Cole's every manic step like an apex predator watching a cornered, volatile lion.“What makes you so sure Brian made it out of the coastal waters after jumping from such height?” Cole barked, his shoes thudding against the floorboards as he pivoted sharply.“I deployed men to search the whole axis and beyond,” Fabian replied, his voice a flat, immovable wall of calm. “There was no trace of a single floating body, boss.”“Just perfect. The one opportunity you had to find the target, and you completely messed it up!” Cole slammed his fist against the adjacent wall. The sharp, heavy thud vibrated straight through the framework of the room, makin
The Billionaire's Dangerous Vows Chapter Eighteen: Tethered to the Past
"You're awake," his low voice rasped, echoing off the high ceilings."Cole..." I took a half-step back, but he immediately closed the distance, trapping me between his towering frame and the cold edge of the marble credenza.His dark gaze searched my face frantically, stripped of his usual cold, calculated mask. The raw, unshielded intensity in his eyes sent a sharp warning straight down my spine.“Last night,” Cole gritted out, his jaw clenching as his gaze briefly dropped to my mouth before snapping back up to my eyes. The unspoken memory of that kiss.. heavy with alcohol, authority, and something terrifyingly possessive—hung thick in the air between us. “Tell me the truth, Quinn.”My breath hitched in my throat as my hands blindly found the edge of the marble credenza behind me, gripping the cold stone just to stay grounded. "What are you talking about?”"I blacked out," Cole whispered, his voice dangerously low, laced with a rough edge that made my skin prickle. He slammed his pal
The Billionaire's Dangerous Vows Chapter Seventeen: An Unwelcome Guest
I tried pulling myself off him, but his grip on my waist only tightened, anchoring me against the hard plane of his chest. His lips locked with mine in a heavy, desperate kiss that tasted like dark liquor and pure possessiveness.For a moment, I couldn't tell what I felt anymore. Shock paralyzed my limbs, but deep inside, my heart didn't move an inch. It remained cold, guarded against the man holding me like I was his only tether to reality.His mouth reeked of alcohol, yet his kiss wasn't sloppy—it was sharp, deliberate. But before I could react to the overwhelming weight of him, he went limp. His head dropped heavily onto my shoulder, making my heart jump as his hands loosened around my waist. His heavy breathing evened out against my neck, the sheer exhaustion finally dragging him under.I sat there in the silence of my bedroom, frozen beneath the crushing weight of Cole.It took all my strength to maneuver out from under his heavy frame without waking him. I pulled the dark silk d
The Billionaire's Dangerous Vows Chapter Sixteen: "Tell me what you remember"
My mother? She was suddenly standing right in front of me—the same mother who couldn't even bother to visit me while I lay unconscious in a hospital bed, abandoned when I needed someone, anyone, I used to know.Cole said I had a family, but that family had died in my mind a long time ago. I couldn't care less about some woman showing up in front of me, claiming to be my mother with artificial warmth in her eyes.I turned on my heel, walking straight past her, my features locked into a hard, unyielding mask as her gaze burned holes into my spine. I had taken barely two steps toward the corridor's exit when a warm, desperate hand clamped around my wrist, stopping me cold.I forced myself to look back.“Forgive me, Quinn. I know I haven't been the best mother to you,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “But please... I need you to hear me out.”“Hear you out?” I held back the tears threatening to sting my eyes, locking them behind a wall of cold disdain. “What selfish desire do you need
The Billionaire's Dangerous Vows Chapter Fifteen: A Forgotten Face
“Luciana!” I yelled, the fury burning hot beneath my skin. I spun around, chasing her down the corridor, and grabbed her wrist.“What do you mean by what you just said?” I demanded, my voice cracking under the weight of my panic.She jerked her arm free with a sharp tug, rubbing her wrist where my fingers had gripped her. Her expression hardened into cold irritation.. until her eyes suddenly swept over my face, taking in the raw, undisguised terror in my eyes. The irritation vanished, replaced by a slow, horrifying realization.“You don't… you don't actually know what happened, do you?” Luciana whispered, her tone dropping into something far more dangerous.“That’s not the answer to the question I asked, Luciana,” I spat back, though my heart was already hammering frantically against my ribs.Her cold laugh echoed down the length of the expansive hallway, chilling me to the bone.“You don't remember anything, do you?!” her smile fading quietly.“You don't know what you're talking abou
The Billionaire's Dangerous Vows Chapter Fourteen: A Velvet Trap
“Forgive the interruption, Chief Executive,” Alejandro began, his tone smooth, measured, and entirely calculated. He inclined his head respectfully toward Cole before turning his sharp, piercing eyes onto me. “Before we proceed to routine financials, the board feels it is imperative to address a matter of immediate risk management.”Alejandro tapped the folder, his gaze locking onto mine across the table.“Over the last forty-eight hours, international markets and financial publications have spent an unprecedented amount of column space speculating on internal destabilization,” Alejandro said, his voice measured yet sharp enough to pin me to my seat. “Headlines linking the Chairwoman to corporate mismanagement, volatile public scandals, and sudden restructuring have contributed to a three-point dip in our pre-market stock. While we respect your position on this board, Mrs Vandal, the board requires clarity. How do you intend to insulate the Vandal reputation from the fallout currently
