The Billionaire’s Masked Obsession CHAPTER 107
CORINNETwo red lines.I stared at the plastic indicators scattered across the marble vanity until my vision blurred, then I stared some more because I couldn’t believe my eyes.All four test strips read exactly the same. I grabbed the edge of the sink in panic, but it wasn’t enough to hold me as my knees buckled beneath me and I slid to the cold floor. I’m pregnant. I’m actually fucking pregnant.I’d tried to rationalize the waves of nausea and the dizziness that hit me the second my feet touched the floor every morning, praying with so much hope that I was just mistaken. I had desperately searched for every other explanation because pregnancy was the one possibility I wasn’t prepared to face.Yet here I am.But then, we always used protection, so how did this happen? When did we—Aurelie Isle.The memory stole the remaining oxygen from my lungs. It was the morning after we first crossed the line, the morning he pinned me against the kitchen counter with unabashed desire, plowing i

CORINNE“I’ll be back the exact second the paperwork is finalized. If I can cut the final day of the summit entirely, I will.”I couldn't help the smile that tugged at my lips as I swung our linked hands back and forth between us on the porch. “Lucian, it’s a major international merger. It’s work. You are allowed to take your time and actually do your job.”“I’ll call you the moment the wheels touch down,” he murmured, his massive frame stepping entirely too close, crowding me against the heavy oak double doors of the entryway. “And you call me—”“—if I need anything at all, if something feels even slightly off, if anyone suspicious so much as breathes in my direction, or if I simply want George to deploy a security detail to escort me to the grocery store,” I finished for him. “And yes, I know I can always go stay at your parents’ estate if I get lonely or if I want to spend time with the Lucas and Lee. You’ve already given me that exact same lecture about two hundred times since bre

LUCIAN“Do you think she knows what’s going on?” Maya’s voice crackled from the video call.I quietly shut the door to my study and walked toward my desk. Corinne was already deep asleep and I had also been on the verge of falling into slumber myself when Maya’s text flashed on my screen with Isaac already waiting on the line.“She’s been distracted since we came back, but no, I don’t think she knows,” I responded, sitting back in my leather chair. “Explain it to me properly. What did you find?”“Nathan transferred money out of one of the shell accounts I’ve been monitoring,” Maya said, her face illuminated by the harsh blue light of her monitors. “Not a huge amount, probably because he didn’t want to trigger any red flags with our system, but it’s enough to suggest he’s liquidating assets to make a massive move.”“Where did the funds land?” I asked, leaning forward.“A private holding company in Zurich.” Papers shuffled faintly on her end of the call. “And before you ask, yes, I alre

LUCIANBy the time I got the twins buckled into their seats, Corinne was surrounded—again.Aunt Grace, Helena, Allison and a handful of my younger cousins formed a tight perimeter around her and were passing her around for another endless round of hugs.As much as I fundamentally despise admitting to anything that makes me look soft, I have to confess to myself that this trip had been surreal.To top all that bliss, while dad and I were going over some things yesterday afternoon, I heard Corinne calling my mother ‘Mom’ during a conversation about the twins. The word had slipped from her lips so naturally, that it nearly stopped my heart right there in the grass. But that was just a terrifying, beautiful reminder of how deeply she was weaving herself into the fabric of my life.“You really scored with this one, man. Universally approved by the tribunal.”Matt’s voice broke through my thoughts. He stepped up beside me, his eyes fixed on the exact same spot where Corinne was currently be
The Billionaire’s Masked Obsession CHAPTER 103
CORINNEIt was our last night in Spain.After spending the last few days completely wrapped in an artificial bubble—surrounded by the loud, unconditional warmth of this family, sleeping and waking up with my back securely pressed against Lucian’s chest, and losing myself in an almost unhealthy amount of sex—I felt saddened at the thought of leaving this paradise. But then again, I had learned a long time ago that all good things eventually come to an end. The real world was waiting for us back home, and the clock on our contract—with just three months left—was still ticking down in the dark.Ever since we encountered the paparazzi, I made a strict point of not checking social media; I wasn’t ready to face the media firestorm that would be waiting for me online. But earlier this afternoon, while Lucian was tied up on business calls, I summoned enough reckless courage to power on my phone and check the tabloids.What I found was a bizarre contradiction—something I was half-expecting, ye
The Billionaire’s Masked Obsession CHAPTER 102
LUCIANRight now, I’m beyond pissed.It’s been more than an hour since mom texted us to join the rest of them for brunch, but that was the last thing I wanted was to do. If I have my way, we wouldn’t be leaving this suite for the next three days.I wanted to keep her locked behind closed doors, I wanted to spend the afternoon smoldering her with my body and marking her so thoroughly that the entire world would know exactly who she belonged to. But Corinne, stubborn as always, insisted on going.“Let’s skip,” I repeated.She paused in front of the mirror and let out a sigh without looking at me. “That’s the ninth time you’ve said that.”“And my point remains valid.”“The answer is still no, Lucian.” She held her hair up. “Zip me up.”I stepped behind her and deliberately brush my knuckles against her warm skin as I dragged the zipper higher.The inappropriate thoughts running through my head as I traced the curves hidden behind the fabric with my eyes were so obvious that she let out a

LUCIAN“We’ve arrived, sir.”Great. So we were actually doing this.My gaze drifted to the tinted window, to the blinding lights screaming down at the entrance of the building like a warning. Eclipse’s Strip n Drink. Even inside the car, I could hear the bass pounding from the walls. The street ou

CORINNEDid… did he just call me a kitten?Kitten?!The remote in my hand practically begged me to press the button as I glanced back at the door, already mapping out an escape. I reached for the wall switch instead and dimmed the lights even more, letting the shadows swallow the room.It took real

LUCIAN“Mr. Delacroix, you really don’t have to do this,” George said from where he was standing by the doorway in his ever-crisp suit, tablet in hand. “You already have a packed schedule today. I can handle the session with their homeroom teacher and report back to you.”I stood behind Lucas and tr
The Billionaire’s Masked Obsession CHAPTER THREE
LUCIANI sat frozen in that chair, jaw tight while she sashayed away from me like she hadn’t just set my entire nervous system on fire.Outwardly, I maintained my usual blank expression but inside, my teeth were practically grinding themselves into dust. My hand still gripped the glass she’d snatche
