The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 18: A Deal with Destiny
The soft rays of sunlight streamed through the thin curtains, casting a gentle glow across the room. Nadia stirred, her body reluctant to leave the warm embrace of her bed after the whirlwind of emotions from last night’s celebration. Memories of the party replayed in her mind: Theodore’s announcement, the flashes of cameras, the whispers of the crowd. It all felt surreal.Pushing the covers aside, she slid her feet onto the cool floor and stretched. The house was quiet, save for the faint clinking of plates and the hum of the coffee machine from the dining area. She followed the sounds, her steps light but purposeful.As she approached, the sight waiting for her warmed her heart. Chris was sitting at the table, a plate of greens in front of him, along with a glass of vibrant juice—freshly mixed with fruits and vegetables. Beside him, his medications were neatly arranged, a reminder of the battles he’d been fighting so bravely.“Good morning, Nads!” Chris greeted her with a bright smi

Nadia stepped confidently toward the center of the room, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. She stood in front of the sleek, polished table, the glow of the overhead lights reflecting off her blue business attire. Her curly hair framed her face perfectly, and her gaze was steady as she looked across the room at the assembled executives. For a moment, she allowed the silence to stretch, letting the anticipation build before she spoke."Good morning, gentlemen," she began, her voice calm and unwavering. Her tone was rich with authority, but there was warmth that made it clear she wasn’t just here to pretend. This was personal—rooted in her heart. She scanned the faces before her—Theodore, Drake, Victor, and the other business partners of Thatcher Enterprises. "My name is Nadianna Rostova. I’m the founder and director of several charitable organizations supporting children with cancer. Today, I’m here to present a project that can change the lives of thousands of childr

Nadia’s mind raced as she stepped through the polished glass doors of Thatcher Enterprises. The grandeur of the building never failed to strike her, even after weeks of stepping into its imposing structure. The sleek marble floors, modern art, and the faint scent of fresh coffee spoke of wealth, power, and influence—none of which were truly hers. Yet, she walked these halls as if they were.Yesterday’s events had left her in turmoil. Miranda’s call had been a catalyst for the storm brewing inside her.“Nadia,” Miranda had said with calm confidence, “the board has approved the children’s cancer charity initiative. It’s all yours to manage. You’ve proven your capabilities, and now it’s time to shine outside the boardroom.”Nadia had nearly dropped the phone. The charity was supposed to be nothing more than an illusion, a part of the elaborate act to establish her as a philanthropic businesswoman. But this new responsibility made it real. She felt a mixture of exhilaration and dread.She

Nadia stepped outside, inhaling the crisp morning air as she made her way to the poolside. The moment she shut the glass door behind her, she pressed a hand to her chest, feeling the rapid beat of her heart. What just happened? It was barely a kiss. A mere accident. And yet, it had sent a jolt through her entire body—one she couldn’t ignore. The reflection of the sky rippled across the pristine water, but her mind wasn’t focused on the scenery. Instead, it replayed the way Theodore had looked at her before she fled the room. That unreadable gaze. The way his voice had softened—just for a second. She groaned, burying her face in her hands. Get yourself together, Nadia. You’re here for the charity, not for… this. A sharp sound cut through the silence—the sliding of the glass door. Her body stiffened. Footsteps followed, steady and measured. A shadow loomed beside her. "You left in a hurry," Theodore said. His voice was cool. Unbothered. Nadia straightened, smoothing down her dr

The morning sun filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Theodore’s private office, casting long streaks of golden light across the sleek black marble floors. The room smelled faintly of espresso, though his own cup remained untouched beside him. His focus wasn’t on coffee. It was on the woman sitting across from him, speaking animatedly as she laid out her plans for the biggest charity event of the year. Nadia’s brows were slightly furrowed as she tapped at her laptop, eyes scanning the screen with meticulous precision. She was speaking—probably explaining something important—but Theodore wasn’t processing the words. Not because he wasn’t interested. But because he was distracted. Her voice had a way of commanding attention without demanding it. Clear. Thoughtful. The kind that made people lean in and listen. It annoyed him. Not because he found her irritating. But because he didn’t usually get distracted. Theodore Thatcher was a man who dominated boardrooms. A man

Nadia paced her hotel suite, phone pressed against her ear as she spoke with Miranda. Through the wide glass windows, the city stretched beneath her in golden hues, the early evening glow casting long shadows across the streets.“I just got out of the final meeting with the team,” Nadia said, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Everything is set for tomorrow—venue, catering, security. The auction items have been double-checked, and the VIP seating is finalized.”Miranda hummed in approval on the other end of the line. “Good. And Mr. Theodore? Has he seen the final layout?”Nadia rolled her eyes. “Yes, and surprisingly, he didn’t complain. Well, aside from his usual smug remarks, but that’s just him being him.”Miranda chuckled. “He’s a handful, isn’t he?”Nadia sighed. “You have no idea.”Though she tried to sound exasperated, there was an undeniable warmth in her voice—one that Miranda didn’t miss.“So,” Miranda started, her tone turning teasing, “are you going to admit t

The impact of the fall sent a jolt of pain up Nadia’s legs as she was shoved out of the van, her body hitting the cold concrete with a force that made her gasp. Before she could gather her bearings, rough hands grabbed her arms, yanking her upright. She struggled, but the grip was strong—unforgiving."Move," a deep voice ordered, his tone laced with irritation.Nadia clenched her jaw but obeyed, allowing herself to be dragged forward. Her mind raced, trying to map out her surroundings despite the blindfold covering her eyes. The scent of rust and damp air filled her nostrils, and the faint echoes of their footsteps told her they were inside a large, empty space.A warehouse.She could hear the sound of a metal door screeching as it was pulled shut behind her.Moments later, her blindfold was yanked off.Nadia blinked, her vision adjusting to the dim lighting. As expected, the warehouse was massive—high ceilings, thick steel beams, and barely any furniture in sight. The air felt stale,

A tense silence hung in the warehouse, thick with unspoken fear. The kidnappers were still shaken by the phone call with Theodore, but Nadia could see the hesitation in their movements. The fear in their eyes.She wasn’t going to waste this opportunity.Letting out a small, amused chuckle, she tilted her head and spoke, her voice dripping with mockery.“You guys really messed up.”One of the men snapped his head toward her. “Shut up.”But Nadia only smirked, her confidence unwavering. “Do you know what happens to people who kidnap someone like me?” She looked at them one by one, her dark eyes glinting with challenge. “My fiancé is Theodore Thatcher. A billionaire. A man with more power than you can imagine.”The men stiffened at the mention of his name.Nadia saw it—the flicker of unease, the way one of them clenched his fists.“I can already picture it,” she continued, her tone almost teasing. “All of you? Rotting in prison. And not just any prison—you’ll never get out. Not with the

The sun peeked gently through the palm leaves as morning arrived on the island, painting the horizon in soft shades of gold and peach. A salty breeze whispered through the trees, stirring the embers of last night’s campfire. Nadia stirred first, her cheek nestled in the crook of Theodore’s shoulder, the fine white sand cool beneath them. For a moment, she simply lay there, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing, her hand resting lightly on his chest.Theodore's eyes opened slowly, blinking against the morning light. His arm was still wrapped protectively around her, and when he noticed her watching him with sleepy affection, a slow smile spread across his face."Morning," he murmured, voice still husky from sleep."Morning," she whispered back.They lay there for a while in comfortable silence, the world around them beginning to stir. The distant cry of gulls overhead, the sound of waves lapping against the shore—it all felt surreal. This place, this moment, was a dream carve
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 72: Not a Game
The fire crackled softly in the stillness of the night, its glow casting warm orange hues onto the white sand surrounding them. Above, the stars glittered like scattered diamonds across the ink-black sky, and the sea whispered gently to the shore just a few feet away. The air smelled of salt and faint smoke, and the cool breeze rustled the palm trees around the campfire.Nadia lay on her back on the sand, her arm brushing Theodore’s as they stared up at the constellations. It felt surreal, being here—on this quiet island, away from the chaos and lies, away from the noise of expectations and reputations. For once, everything was calm. There were no reporters, no pretending, no pretending to be strangers or enemies or anything else. Just them, raw and real.She turned her head to look at him. Theodore was quiet, his expression relaxed in a way she had only recently begun to recognize. Gone was the cold billionaire with walls made of steel. Here beside her lay the man who held her when s
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 71: From Ashes
The night was alive with the sounds of the ocean's waves crashing gently against the shore, and the warmth from the campfire flickered in the cool evening breeze. The sky above was dotted with countless stars, their light twinkling in the vast expanse, untouched by the noise of the world. The island, isolated and tranquil, was the perfect escape from everything—the world they had left behind, the lives they had built, and the contract that tied them together.Nadia and Theodore lay side by side on the soft, white sand, their bodies barely touching but an invisible tension between them, as if the night itself was holding its breath. The fire crackled between them, sending a warmth that contrasted with the coolness of the island air. The flames danced, casting long shadows on the sand, while the soft light illuminated their faces in a way that made the world feel smaller—just the two of them, lost in time and space.Nadia stared up at the stars, her thoughts drifting back to the very fi
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 70: Fading Lies
Nadia’s heart raced as she responded instinctively, her arms wrapping around Theodore’s neck, pulling him closer to her. The kiss deepened, becoming more urgent and intense, and she could feel every inch of him against her, her body reacting to the closeness as if it had been waiting for this moment. Her fingers tangled in his hair, drawing him tighter against her, unable to resist the pull between them.Theodore’s lips moved over hers with a hunger that left her breathless. She could taste the sweetness of his mouth, feel the warmth of his breath against her skin. The subtle, familiar scent of his cologne mixed with the natural musk of his skin, and it was intoxicating—like she was drowning in him, in everything about him.He pulled back slightly, his eyes locking with hers, darkened with emotion. His voice was low and thick with desire, yet there was an undeniable vulnerability in his words. "I care about you," he murmured, his voice almost a whisper, as if admitting something he ha
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 69: Drawn In
Nadia woke up with a start, the warmth of someone’s arms surrounding her. The first thing that registered in her mind was the scent of Theodore, mixed with the softness of the sheets around her. Her eyes fluttered open, and her heart skipped a beat when she realized just how close his face was to hers. His features, relaxed and peaceful in his sleep, were only inches away, and she could feel his breath against her skin.But then, panic flooded her senses. What happened last night? She quickly glanced down at her body, her heart racing. Her mind scrambled as she checked herself, half-expecting the worst. She frantically touched her clothes, her hands skimming over the fabric of her tank top and shorts. I’m still dressed, thank goodness.Nadia sighed in relief, though the mix of confusion and something else—disappointment?—settled in her chest. She couldn’t quite figure out how she felt about the situation. Part of her was glad nothing happened, but another part of h
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 68: Too Close
Nadia woke up with a jolt, a soft warmth surrounding her. The first thing that registered in her mind was the feeling of something—or someone—holding her, and she could smell Theodore’s familiar scent, the one she had grown used to. As she opened her eyes, the soft light of morning poured into the room, bathing everything in a warm, golden glow. Her gaze shifted, and her heart nearly stopped when she saw Theodore's face so close to hers.For a brief moment, everything felt surreal. His face was so peaceful, so calm, as if he was in a deep, undisturbed sleep. His jaw was sharp, the slight shadow of stubble covering it, his lips slightly parted. The light from the window highlighted the strong, angular features of his face, and his breathing was steady and relaxed. The sight of him, so close and so... vulnerable, sent a strange flutter through her chest. Her pulse quickened as she realized the position they were in—she was lying in his arms, her head resting against his chest
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 67: Contract Breached
The silence between them stretched on, suffocating in its weight. Theodore’s gaze was fixed on Nadia, his expression unreadable, his jaw clenched as if holding back a storm of words. Nadia stood there, unsure of what to do next. Her heart raced, her mind spinning with a thousand thoughts, none of them making sense."So, what happens now?" she blurted out, her voice louder than she intended. "Will the contract be over now? Do I have to leave? Should I go back tomorrow morning like it says in the terms? I—"Before she could finish her barrage of questions, Theodore stepped closer, cutting her off completely."I love you," he said, his voice low but firm, and the words hung in the air between them, heavy with meaning.Nadia froze, the questions on her lips dying as she processed what he had just said. Her heart stuttered, her breath catching in her throat. She had heard the words, but they felt like they didn’t belong in this moment. It was impossibl
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 66: Heartbeat
Amy looked at Nadia, her curiosity piqued. "Ms. Nadia," she asked softly, "how did you fall in love with Mr. Thatcher?"Nadia’s heart skipped a beat at the question. She glanced at Theodore, sitting across from her, his expression distant and unreadable. She felt her throat tighten as she tried to find the words. For a moment, she considered brushing it off, but something inside her urged her to speak the truth.She took a steadying breath, and when she spoke, her voice was quiet, but it carried the weight of honesty. "Everyone sees Theo as a beast," she began, her eyes flicking between Amy and Rene, then resting on Theodore for a brief moment. "They see his power, his coldness, the way he rules everything around him with an iron fist. And it’s true, in a way. He’s relentless, calculating, like a predator who never lets his guard down. He’s strong, always in control, and everyone fears him for that. It’s how he survives this world, how he built everything he has."
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 65: Between Us
The setting sun cast a warm, golden glow over the yacht as the evening rolled in, the soft hum of the ocean gently rocking them in the background. Dinner was being served, and the four of them were seated around the table—Nadia, Theodore, Rene, and Amy. The table was elegantly set, the scent of fresh seafood filling the air as the dishes were placed before them. Rene and Amy, though staff, had joined them for the meal, and it felt more casual than any dinner Nadia had ever imagined with someone like Theodore.Nadia found herself talking animatedly with Rene, his playful personality and teasing nature making her laugh often. Rene, 22, was the life of the conversation, cracking jokes and lightening the atmosphere with his loud, carefree demeanor. Amy, on the other hand, sat quietly beside him. She was only 19, with a delicate, almost shy aura, her dark eyes lowered as she ate, a soft smile lingering on her lips whenever she did speak. Despite the difference in personalities,
