It’s easy to love someone when everything is calm.

The real test is loving them when the ground shakes beneath your feet.

The second I saw the blocked number light up on my phone again, my stomach twisted.

Not because I didn’t expect it.

But because I was exhausted by how predictable she had become.

Alexander’s arm tightened instinctively around my waist as I read the message aloud.

You’re not safe yet. Neither of you.

I felt his entire body go still behind me, his breath drawing tight at the base of his throat. The peace we had finally begun to settle into cracked under the weight of those seven words.

“She’s bluffing,” I whispered.

“Or preparing something new.” His voice was low, dangerous in a way that used to scare, but now I understood it for what it was. A protective edge sharpened by everything we’d already survived.

I turned in his arms, pressing my hands flat against his chest. “Alexander, look at me.”

He did. And in that moment, I saw the flicker of doubt trying to claw its

  • The Billionaire's Reluctant Bride    Chapter 257

    There are places in life that make you feel like you've truly arrived.And then there are the moments when you realize you’ve already been there all along.I never thought I’d feel this way—like I was truly home. Not just in the house we’d built together, or in the shared goals we had for the future, but in the space between us. A space that felt as real and permanent as the walls we’d constructed, brick by brick.Yet here we were, surrounded by quiet peace, and I couldn’t help but smile as I watched Alexander carefully placing the last picture on the mantle.The house was more than just a place to live now. It was ours—from the gleaming countertops in the kitchen to the comfortable, worn armchairs in the living room where we had spent countless evenings talking about our past, our fears, and the future that we were finally stepping into together.“It’s perfect,” I said quietly, leaning against the doorframe of the living room. “I never thought it would feel this... peaceful.”He turn

    Sometimes, it’s not about where we are. It’s about where we’re going—and the promise we make to ourselves to build it together.I stared at the horizon, the golden light of the setting sun reflecting off the glass walls of our penthouse. The city below had long since fallen into the rhythmic pulse of twilight, but up here, everything felt suspended in time. The world moved at its own pace, but we were standing still, together.The buzz of the day had faded, replaced by the quiet hum of anticipation. We’d made it through the latest hurdle—the threats, the legal battles, the constant scrutiny—and now, in the space between all of that, we had a moment to breathe. A moment where I could finally let myself think of the future without the weight of fear and doubt pressing down on me.And then Alexander appeared beside me, his familiar warmth wrapping around me as his hand slid into mine. His touch was steady, as always, but tonight, it felt even more grounding. There was something different

    The truest form of love isn’t in grand gestures or eloquent promises.It’s in the quiet moments, the shared silences, and the way you stand next to each other when the world feels like it’s falling apart.—I wasn’t sure what I expected when I woke up this morning. But I didn’t expect the overwhelming wave of emotion that hit me when I saw Alexander beside me, his chest rising and falling with steady breaths, the faintest hint of a smile on his lips even as he slept.The world had been trying to tear us apart, pushing us to the edge of exhaustion with every new attack, every twist in the business, every silent war we fought behind closed doors. But there, in that moment, in the quiet of our bedroom, it felt like everything was exactly as it should be.I reached out and brushed my fingers along the side of his face, the roughness of his stubble against my skin a comfort I didn’t know I needed.He stirred slightly, his eyes fluttering open. For a moment, there was just him—him-no pressu

    Some days feel like we’re chasing the future,Others like we’re finally learning to live in it.The quiet of the morning was a gentle reminder of how much had changed. How much had shifted between us.I sat at the kitchen table, a cup of coffee in hand, watching as Alexander moved around the kitchen. He was a creature of habit, but in the last few months, I’d noticed a subtle change. The tension that used to follow him like a shadow, the constant weight he carried on his shoulders—those were now replaced with something softer, more assured. I had always known the man beneath the polished exterior, but now, I was witnessing the man he was becoming.We had been through so much—external pressures, personal struggles, and everything in between—but here we were, standing together, no longer running from the storm but walking through it hand-in-hand. We had been torn apart and built up again, stronger than ever, but now, it wasn’t about surviving anymore. It was about thriving. Together.Al

    The moments that define us often come when we least expect them.—The city below sparkled, alive with a thousand possibilities, yet none of them seemed as bright as the quiet moment we shared in the warmth of our apartment. The soft hum of the traffic outside had faded into a distant buzz, the kind of noise you learn to ignore when you’re in the presence of something far more important.Alexander was sitting beside me on the couch, his hand lightly resting on my knee. I could feel the weight of everything that had happened over the last few months—the battles, the setbacks, the moments of fear and doubt. But now, all of that seemed to fade into the background. We had made it through.Not just as business partners.Not just as survivors.But as something more.Something that felt like it could last forever.“I can’t believe it’s been a year,” I said softly, my voice a little raw with emotion. I turned my head to look at him, the man who had been by my side through all of it. “So much

    Some moments don’t need words to be understood.They’re felt in the spaces between the sentences.The silence was thick, comfortable, but heavy with unspoken truths.Alexander and I sat on the balcony, the city lights stretching before us, and for the first time in what felt like forever, I didn’t feel the rush of the world pulling us in a thousand directions.It wasn’t just the quiet of the city around us that held me—it was the quiet between us, the space where everything we had been through, and everything we were, lived.Alexander had always been the one to hide behind his silence. It was his way of keeping control, of protecting himself from feeling too much. But now, in the stillness of the night, I realized how much had changed.He no longer needed to protect himself from me.I let the silence stretch between us, not uncomfortable but allowing us to just be. But eventually, I could feel it—the heaviness that lingered in his eyes, that tightness around his jaw. He was carrying s
