The Billionaire’s Masked Obsession CHAPTER FIFTY NINE
LUCIAN“Mum,” I groaned out.“I’m just saying,” she replied calmly while arranging desserts onto a tray like she has all the time in the world. “It’s very strange that you’re suddenly this secretive over someone.”Secretive.If she only knew.We are still circling the same topic we’ve been stuck on for the past ten minutes—my so-called date. I wonder how this conversation would shift if I tell her the truth. If I tell her that the mysterious woman she’s so curious about was actually someone I had paid to be my wife for six months.That would go over well.“And like I told you earlier,” I said, leaning back against the kitchen counter, “you’ll have to wait until Matt’s wedding to meet her.”She glanced at me over her shoulder. “Why?”“Because you’ll likely scare her off with all the interrogation and prodding. I’m doing you both a favor.”She clutched a silver spoon to her chest. “I most certainly will not. I am perfectly capable of being a gracious host.”I laughed. “Have you actually

CORINNEI frowned as I forced my eyes open, my vision still blurry with sleep. “Lucian?”His hand, which had been hovering suspiciously close to my face, slowly dropped back to his side. He was watching me with a strange expression, something unreadable shifting across his features before it vanished almost immediately.What the hell?Was he about to strangle me in my sleep?I squinted at him, then glanced around the dim living room as awareness seeped in. When I tried to sit up, the weight on my body stopped me and I looked down to find the twins fast asleep on me.Oh…We had eaten early, then migrated to the living room where all three of us passed out mid-cartoon.“What are you doing down here?” he asked, his voice laced with that infuriating hateful feeling.I rolled my eyes slightly and adjusted Eli’s head so he wouldn’t slide off me.“We had an early dinner and they wanted to watch something,” I said quietly, then fixed him with a pointed look. “And can you lower your voice? It

LUCIAN“…if we get the head of Max’s finance team to sign off on the deal, we can move the entire acquisition forward by next quarter.”I stared at Isaac as he spoke. My eyes tracked his moving mouth but I wasn’t processing a single word.I’ve been useless all day.Ever since I left Corinne and the boys at the house this morning, my mind has been stuck in that bathroom. In the way she’d been genuinely laughing with me like we were long time buddies. Like she didn’t hate me for a second.At that moment, I’d gotten to see her unshielded self, she was just… Corinne.I wasn’t going to lie to myself and pretend we suddenly are in a good place.Hell, I had actually apologized to her last night and what I got in return was a flat ‘okay.’I knew I should’ve just kept my mouth shut. But seeing her motionless on that bathroom floor had done something to me that I hadn’t been prepared for.The fear had hit first. Then came the anger.Anger because she kept brushing it off like her pain didn’t ma

CORINNE“I’m sorry.”I must have hit my head harder than I thought. Because there was absolutely no way the infamous Lucian Delacroix just uttered an apology.To me.My eyes narrowed as I try to keep them fixed on his face and not drift downward. The headache taking home at the back of my skull made everything hazy, also… it didn’t help that he was still shirtless.“What?”He rubbed the back of his neck like doing this was hard on him. “I said I’m sorry.”“For what?” I pushed.I could see the muscles in his jaw ticking as he shot me a flat look. “What do you think?”“I wouldn’t know,” I replied calmly, leaning back into the soft pillows. “I’m not the one apologizing here.”“For the trackers,” he finally said through gritted teeth. “I shouldn’t have done that.”I studied him for a second, trying to figure out what had suddenly brought this on. Lucian isn’t the type to apologize, like at all.Days ago, I would’ve antagonize him about this but right now, I just want to sleep and mull ove
The Billionaire’s Masked Obsession CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE
LUCIAN“Corinne.”I turned at the sound of the voice, only to find the thirty-something-year-old doctor standing by the doorway with his attention fixed entirely on her with a level of familiarity that set my teeth on edge.I knew she was friendly with the staff—despite the fact that I told her to keep a professional distance—but the genuine smile she sent his way made me recoil in anger as I slowly step back from the counter, creating space between us. Is she a magnet for unserious men?First was Charles, and now I have to deal with the resident physician looking at her like she’s his next meal.I pinned him with a hard look. “It’s ma’am or Mrs Delacroix to you.”He gave an indifferent shrug, not even sparing me a glance, as he walked further into the bathroom until he was standing right next to her. “Okay sir.”My hands curled into fists before I forced them to relax.I’m so firing his ass after this.I crossed my arms over my bare chest and watched them, while pointedly ignoring t

CORINNEI saw stars.One second I’d been standing there, naked, one foot lifted to step into the tub… the next my heel slid on the stupid slick marble and the world tipped sideways. My back hit the floor so hard the breath punched out of my lung and bright sparks burst across my vision.The pain was yet to register when I heard my name.“Corinne!”“Fuck…” I rasped.Using the last bit of energy I had, I reached blindly for the towel hanging off the counter. My fingers snagged the fabric and I yanked it down, dragging it across my body just as Lucian slammed open the bathroom door without a knock.His broad figure filled the doorway, effectively blocking out the lights that had been assaulting my vision. And for a split second, he just stared at me lying there on the floor then he crossed the room in three long strides and dropped to his knees beside me.“Hey, kitten.” His eyes were wildly darting over me. “Are you okay?”The first thing I noticed was how hard he was breathing, it was a
