The Billionaire’s Wife Does Not Exist Chapter 54: My Husband Moved Into the Life I Built Without Him
He stood in my bedroom waiting, and I realized there had once been a version of me who would have been terrified of this exact moment, certain that letting him in meant losing myself all over again. That version of me was gone. I just wanted him there because I loved living with him.I crossed the room, took his face in my hands, and kissed him before I said anything at all."Three weeks," I said finally.His expression changed instantly. "That's a yes?""That's me agreeing to a trial period.""For my own marriage?""Your performance will be reviewed."He looked genuinely offended, then delighted. "When do I move in?""Your suitcase is already here.""That's visiting. I'm talking about moving in."The distinction mattered more than I expected, and two days later I understood why. Roman arrived with considerably more than a suitcase, garment bags, boxes of books, enough shoes to require an explanation, his preferred coffee because mine was, in his words, unacceptable."You said part of

I lay beside him, the phone still glowing faintly on the nightstand, and looked around the apartment differently than I had ten minutes earlier. His toothbrush, his shirt in my closet, his suitcase by the door, all of it had felt romantic because it was evidence that he could visit the independent life I’d built. Now the word permanent was sitting in the room with us, and those same objects meant something else entirely.My first reaction to the offer wasn’t fear. It was excitement, sharp and immediate, and that frightened me more than the offer itself.“I think I want them to offer it properly,” I admitted.“The permanent role?”“Yes.”He didn’t react badly. Pride came first, the way it always did with him now. But he grew quieter after, the practical weight of it settling in.“We don’t need to decide tonight whether you live here forever because one email used the word permanent,” he said. “Find out what they’re actually offering. Then decide whether you want it.”“And us?”“We’re n

I studied his face and genuinely couldn't tell. He let me sit in that uncertainty for only a few seconds."They confirmed me."Roman was officially Chairman.But he'd come outside before celebrating with the board, before calling his mother, before letting anyone congratulate him properly. I was the first person he'd wanted to see.I threw my arms around him before remembering we were standing outside a formal board meeting. He laughed and caught me anyway, nothing ceremonious about it."What happened?" I asked.He kept it brief. He'd defended the flexible arrangement himself, made his own case, no vote from me involved. He'd convinced enough directors that being a husband with a life outside Ashbourne didn't make him less capable of leading it."You told me to earn it.""Did you?""Apparently.""Then congratulations, Mr. Chairman."I kissed him.He told me quietly, afterward, that when the final vote came through, he'd expected the enormous triumph he'd imagined for years. He'd felt

The Billionaire’s Wife Does Not Exist Chapter 50: Tonight, We Walked Into Both Our Worlds
Roman kept losing his train of thought while I finished getting ready, watching me from the bed with a distracted, half-buttoned shirt that suggested he’d stopped paying attention to it several minutes ago.“If you keep looking at me like that, we’re going to miss my event.”“I’m evaluating the dress.”“You’ve been evaluating it for six minutes.”“It’s a complicated dress.”I laughed, and he came up behind me while I fastened an earring, his hands settling at my waist, his mouth finding my shoulder in a way that nearly undid the earring entirely. I had to remind him, twice, that we actually had somewhere to be.“This apartment has become increasingly hostile to punctuality,” he murmured, and I pulled myself away before it became a genuine problem.At the collection, people found me before Roman even got a chance to be noticed, congratulating me on the Director position, asking about my conservation philosophy, one collector already angling to discuss a future project. Roman didn’t int

The door hadn't even fully closed before I kissed him, whatever restraint we'd managed at the collection gone completely. He dropped the food and his bag somewhere inconvenient, and neither of us cared."I thought you brought me home for dinner," he murmured."You were misinformed."This was different from the reconciliation months, different from the careful, grateful hunger of relearning each other. This was just want, plain and certain, no fear tangled into it anymore. He still paused for half a second, some old habit of checking before taking anything for granted, and I pulled him closer before he could finish the thought.He knew exactly how I liked to be touched. I knew exactly which look meant he was pretending to be more patient than he felt. He said something smug against my ear and I told him to stop talking, and he laughed at entirely the wrong moment, and I kissed him again just to make him quiet."I missed my wife," he said at one point, quieter now."You had her on video
