Zade POV

By Wednesday, I decide I’m done being reactive.

No more pushing.

No more intensity.

No more cornering her with emotion she isn’t ready to hold.

Zen mode.

I get to work at seven sharp.

The office is quiet, still carrying that early morning stillness before the building fully wakes up. I drop my keys on my desk and take a slow breath. If I’m going to win my wife back, I need to start acting like a man worth coming back to.

Even though we have a cleaning crew, they don’t really clean. Th

  • The Billionaires Blind Reckoning   I Need You Now

    Explicit Scenes Ahead Zade’s POVThe house was quiet, but definitely sleep wasn’t coming.I lay in the guest room bed, staring at the ceiling, the faint sound of the TV from the family room where Bennett sat like a damn watchdog. He wanted her. I saw it every time he looked at her. But Clover was still my wife and pregnant with my child so he can fuck all the way off.I waited until the house settled, until the only sound was the low hum of whatever Bennett was watching. Then I slipped out of bed in nothing but my black boxer briefs, moved silently down the hall, and crept up the stairs.Her room door was cracked open just enough. I pushed it gently and stepped inside. Clover slept on her side, facing away from me. She wore one of those oversized shirts that swallowed her frame, the hem riding up to show the curve of her ass in those tiny boy shorts. Her belly was round and perfect with our baby, pressed against the mattress. My chest tightened at the sight.I closed the door behin

  • The Billionaires Blind Reckoning   The Kissing House

    Clover's POV As soon as we walked into Grandma Lola’s house, I felt it.That shift.That tension.And yeah… I saw it immediately.Bennett.Still watching me.His eyes lingered just a second too long before he finally turned and headed into the family room with Terrence, like he needed to distract himself.I exhaled softly, then looked over at Zade.“Come on.”I didn’t wait.I just grabbed his hand and started leading him down the hallway, feeling him follow just a step behind me.We stopped in front of one of the doors.I turned, pointing.“Okay, look. This is your room. You understand? This one right here.”I gestured to the next door.“And this is the other guest room. Mine is upstairs… so yeah, you’ll be right next to Bennett.”Zade frowned instantly.“So you’re really putting me in a guest room?”I raised a brow.“Yeah… why not?”He sighed, dragging his hand down his face. “Okay… fine.”Then he looked back at me.“So… are we eating dinner?”I shrugged slightly. “I mean, we had th

  • The Billionaires Blind Reckoning   The Capture of B and B

    Third-Person POV Brittany paced the small apartment, her steps quick, uneven, her nerves completely shot.Back and forth.Back and forth.She glanced over at Bradley who was sweating and shaking.Barely holding it together.“Damn it…” she muttered, rushing toward the kitchen.She grabbed a jar of cinnamon, dumping a heavy amount onto a spoon before hurrying back to him with a bottle of water.“Brad, take this,” she said quickly, holding it out.He looked up at her, eyes glassy. “When is Daisy coming? Did she call you?”Brittany shook her head. “No. Just take it.”He didn’t argue.He grabbed the spoon, swallowing the cinnamon dry before chasing it with the water, coughing slightly as he leaned back against the couch.“This should help a little,” she said, watching him closely.He exhaled, trying to steady himself.Brittany didn’t wait.She grabbed her phone, typing fast.What is going on? When are you coming?The response came quicker than expected.Had a little trouble. Dustin’s not

  • The Billionaires Blind Reckoning   Hunter WTH

    Third-Person POVHunter drove along the California coast, one hand on the wheel, the other gripping a half-open bottle of Jack Daniel’s.The road stretched out in front of him, empty.Quiet.Too quiet.“I’m so damn glad I stashed that money,” he muttered under his breath. “’Cause if I didn’t… I’d be fucked.”His jaw tightened.He already had a record.Didn’t need this shit added on top of it.Not like this.He exhaled hard, glancing down at his phone sitting in the passenger seat.The screen lit up briefly...Stephanie’s picture.His chest tightened instantly.“Fuck…” he muttered, dragging a hand over his face. “I really fucked this up.”He should’ve walked away.Should’ve left Daisy alone.But he didn’t.Because Daisy?Daisy was different.Dangerous.Addictive.“She does shit no other woman would even try,” he said, shaking his head slightly.And that was the problem.He lifted the bottle, taking a long swig before setting it back down.His grip on the wheel tightened.“What if that

  • The Billionaires Blind Reckoning   Unhinged Behavior

    Daisy’s POV I’m pacing my room.Back and forth.Back and forth.My heels hitting the floor in sharp, uneven clicks as my mind races faster than I can keep up with.They fucked up.Again.I drag my hands through my hair, exhaling hard.“Shit…”Hunter’s gone.Completely off the grid.And Emily?She contacted the the fucking police faster than I expected.Too damn fast.Which means, I know what it means.She’s talking.She knows Hunter personally.Hunter knows me.And those two dumbasses he hired?I stop pacing, clenching my fists.“They really took her to the bathroom…” I mutter under my breath.I told them, Even if she had to go, give her a bucket.But no.They walked her straight into the one place with a way out.Idiots.Complete idiots.I barely get a second to breathe before my phone starts ringing again.I already know who it is.I answer, annoyed. “What?”Brittany’s voice comes through shaky, panicked, damn near breaking.“What do we do, Daisy? I don’t know what’s gonna happen

  • The Billionaires Blind Reckoning   The Release

    Zade’s POV Clover sitting on my lap?Yeah… I’m not even gonna lie...I’m holding onto that moment.Like it means everything.Because it does.She’s sitting here like nothing’s wrong, like we’re just… normal, and I’ve got both my arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her in just a little closer than necessary.Lucas is on the bed next to Emily, talking, checking on her, and for a second?Everything feels… calm.Too calm.Clover shifts slightly against me, then looks over at Lucas.“So how do we move forward without alerting Daisy?” she asks. “Like… how do we do this without tipping her off?”Lucas doesn’t even hesitate.“We don’t talk about it.”Simple.Firm.“We don’t say anything to her. We don’t say anything around anyone,” he continues. “Clover, you say everything in front of Grandma Lola, and in front of your security. At all times.”His tone hardens.“Because look what happened to Emily. She wasn’t with her security, and they got her.”That lands.Heavy.“Daisy’s not just cunn
