Before climbing into the glossy SUV, I turned back toward Elsa, gesturing for her to join us.

"Elsa, come on, let's go! I am not getting kidnapped by a billionaire alone!" I called out.

Elsa waved her hand dismissively, stepping back with an overly innocent smile. "Oh, I can't, Lex! I have to hand over some paperwork to the principal regarding the children's party!"

I stopped, my forehead scrunching into a deep frown. "Wait, a children's party? Party for what?"

"You know, the special Wednesday

  • The Billionaire’s Unsigned Clause: Secretly Married My Boss   102

    Jerome had stood there in the freezing night, his heart bleeding out, forced to make a harrowing choice: protect my fragile mind with more woven half-truths, or risk losing me forever to the void of full amnesia.The heavy wooden door of the cabin clicked shut behind us, cutting off the faint sounds of the campsite and wrapping us in absolute, heavy silence.I turned around, my back pressing against the cool wood of the entry door, my chest heaving as I looked at him. "We're in your cabin, Jerome. No Julie. No students. Just us. Tell me about the gala. Tell me why we didn't stay together after that night. Tell me why—""Alexa," he choked out, stepping into my space before I could finish the sentence.The air in the room evaporated. He looked at me with an agonizing mixture of overwhelming guilt, profound adoration,and a desperate, burning hunger."You want to know why?" he whispered, his voice trembling as his warm hands came up to frame my face, his thumbs gently brushing over my che

    Jerome took a slow, heavy breath, his chest rising and falling in ragged rhythms. "She deserves to know, Julie.""Not like this," Julie snapped back softly, glancing toward the sleeping kids' tents. "Not when she can barely hold herself together. Step back."I looked between the two of them, my mind spinning into complete overload. Protocol? Danger? Why is my co-teacher speaking to a billionaire CEO like she's his commanding officer?!"Julie, wait," I choked out, wrapping my arms around myself as the cold mountain air rushed back into the space between Jerome and me. "He was telling me... about New York. About a gala—""He's confusing you, Alexa," Julie interrupted gently, her voice instantly softening as she reached out and wrapped a firm,protective arm around my shoulders. "You need sleep. You're exhausted, and your brain is trying to weave patterns out of stress and strangers." She looked directly at Jerome, her glare delivering a silent, lethal warning. "Mr. Washington was just le

    But the moment my palms pressed into the solid, radiating heat of his cashmere sweater, my body completely betrayed my mind.It was like a lightning bolt struck my soul. The kiss wasn't subtle; it was desperate, raw, and overflowing with months of suffocating longing, unexpressed grief, and an intoxicating, bone-deep NEED. He held me like I was his air, his tether to the earth, his absolute everything—as if the moment he let go, he would drown in the dark.And then, something terrifyingly familiar washed over me.My arms didn't push him away. They slid up his chest, wrapping tight around his neck, my fingers burying into the thick,soft hair at the nape of his neck. I kissed him back—hard, feverish, and demanding—matching his desperate rhythm with an instinct so ancient, so deeply ingrained in my muscles, that it felt as natural as breathing.I knew this mouth. I knew this warmth. I had kissed this man a thousand times before in a life I couldn't recall.Jerome let out a low, shudderin

    "Who are you?!" I cried, stumbling back off the wooden bench, my heels catching in the dirt. The heavy wool jacket slid off my shoulders and tumbled into the pine needles between us. "Why do I feel like I'm drowning every time you talk about your past?! What are you hiding from me, Jerome?!"Across the clearing, Julie instantly snapped her head toward us, her friendly co-teacher persona vanishing into sharp, alert vigilance. The five dark-uniformed men at the perimeter subtly shifted their hands toward their holsters, their eyes darting between Jerome and me.Jerome stood up slowly, stepping over his fallen jacket, his hands raised in a quiet, universal gesture of surrender. But his dark eyes were burning with a desperate, unspoken truth he was desperately trying to keep buried."I am not going to hurt you, Alexa," he promised, his voice trembling slightly. "I swear on my life, I will never hurt you.""Then why do I feel like my heart was torn out right next to you?!" I sobbed, wiping

    "Elsa... Julie..." I stammered, turning in a slow circle, completely overwhelmed by shock and amazement. "This is supposed to be a basic school camping trip! Where are the pop-up tents we were supposed to struggle with?! Where are the freeze-dried hot dogs?! Why are there fresh roses in a forest?!""Isn't it incredible?!" Elsa gasped, already grabbing a paper plate and piling it sky-high with barbecue and three brownies. "I love this school so much. I am never complaining about field trips again!""Julie!" I grabbed my co-teacher’s sleeve, pointing wildly at a pastry chef who was currently torching handmade marshmallows for gourmet s'mores. "Who paid for all of this?! This setup costs more than the school's entire annual budget!"Julie offered me a sweet, completely unbothered smile. "Oh, didn't the principal mention it? Saint Bernadette’s received a very generous, anonymous corporate sponsorship for this year's retreat."My blood ran warm, a sudden, breath-stealing flutter bursting r

    "Alexa, you won't believe it!" Julie called out the moment I stepped through the door, holding a giant, steaming mug. "Someone anonymously gifted the entire faculty breakfast this morning! Look at this spread!"The large center table was covered in thermal boxes stamped with the elegant gold logo of AW GRILL & CAFE. There were warm berry scones, glazed croissants, flaky danishes, and artisan jams."Anonymously?" I asked, setting my bag down as my stomach gave a quiet, treacherous rumble."Yep! The delivery driver just said a 'generous benefactor' wanted to thank the teachers," Julie said cheerfully, sliding a box toward me. "Here, I saved you a warm blueberry scone. You look like you could use the sugar, girl."I stared at the berry scone. It was still warm, smelling faintly of vanilla and lemon zest—my absolute favorite.My chest gave that familiar, quiet tug. Jerome Washington.I didn't even have to ask. The man couldn't just send a text; he had to feed the entire faculty just so I
