Quin's POV

I stood across from the townhouse for a long time.

Long enough to map every window. Long enough to figure out about the lights and work out which rooms they were coming from.

The curtains on the ground floor moved briefly. Someone was definitely home.

I saw two guys that looked like security personnel walking out of the building and I quickly pretended to be a passerby.

When I was sure they were gone I quickly went back to surveying the building.

I checked for cameras first. There wa

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Dead End

    Quin's POVI stood across from the townhouse for a long time.Long enough to map every window. Long enough to figure out about the lights and work out which rooms they were coming from.The curtains on the ground floor moved briefly. Someone was definitely home.I saw two guys that looked like security personnel walking out of the building and I quickly pretended to be a passerby.When I was sure they were gone I quickly went back to surveying the building.I checked for cameras first. There was one above the front door, angled to cover the main entrance and the immediate pavement in front of it. Standard residential setup. Nothing sophisticated. So I moved along the side of the street carefully, staying out of its direct line, and checked the side of the building from a distance.No cameras on the side wall. One at the back corner, but positioned to cover the rear garden rather than the street approach.I looked at the building for another minute.Something felt off. I couldn't locat

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Wrong Address

    Quin's POVThe first address Jake sent me to was a commercial building on the east side of the city.It was a four storey structure that housed what appeared to be a series of offices connected to one of Aiden's investment fronts. The lights on the upper floors were still on when I arrived, which meant people were still working, which meant it wasn't the kind of place you brought someone you had taken off a street without their consent.I stood across from it for two minutes anyway.Then I walked the perimeter slowly, everywhere I could. But I found nothing that indicates he could have been brought here.I called Jake."The first address is clean," I said. "It's a working office. He's not here.""I figured that one was unlikely," Jake said. "I sent it because it was registered to the same shell company as the townhouse and I wanted you to have the full picture.""Next time give me the most likely first," I said."You said send all three.""Jake.""Moving on." I could hear him typing.

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Warmth as a weapon

    Tyler's POV I opened my eyes slowly and the first thing I noticed was the ugly ceiling . The colour was weird as hell. I stared at it for a long moment without moving, letting my brain catch up with the rest of me. The side of my neck ached. more like a deep persistent throb that started just below my left ear and radiated downward into my shoulder. I remembered the hand closing around my arm. The street lights blurring at the edges. Then I remembered Aiden's voice.I told you I'd be back.I tried to sit up. But then I realised my wrists were tied.I slowly brought my head down. My hands were in my lap, bound together at the wrists with something that felt like a zip tie. The moment I tested it, pulling my hands apart instinctively, it bit into my skin, sending the pain straight to my head. I tried my best to stay calm, inhaling and exhaling. Using every last strength in me to push the panic away. It was working but I didn't know how long it would last. The room was

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    where is Tyler ?

    Quin's POVAfter working, I picked up my phone only to realise I had spent more time than we agreed. It was forty minutes later, yet he wasn't back from his walk.I didn't think too much about it at first. Maybe he decided to add an extra ten minutes.I sent a quick text to Billie, to know how she's doing.Sup sis. Hope you're good?Just checking in.Then I decided to dial his number but it went to voicemail mail.We didn't fight or anything, which meant he wasn't trying to ignore my calls. so I should be able to reach him without effort.I put the phone down and picked it back up twice before I caught myself doing it and set it on the desk again.I walked to the window instead and looked out at the street below. People moving around like every normal day after after work.I told myself he had stopped somewhere. Lost track of time.I stood very still for a moment with the phone in my hand.Something was wrong.Tyler wasn't one to ignore calls. Especially mine.After about an hour of p

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Told you I'll be back

    Tyler's POV The whole weekend thing ended better than I had expected, and it went well except for the Billie situation that still got him worried. Leaving was easier than arriving. Don't get me wrong. Like I said, the weekend was better than I expected. Quin's parents were surprisingly tolerable. His mother kept finding reasons to talk to me, asking questions about work, what I liked to eat, whether Quin remembered to rest between meetings. His father was still stiff, but he didn't go out of his way to make me feel like an outsider either. He even cracked a small smile when I stood my ground about the ketchup and pancakes situation.Small victories.But watching Billie through the whole visit left something sitting quietly in my chest that I couldn't shake. One would call it and empty feeling or something. She hugged me before we left. It was warm and welcoming. "Take care of him," she said quietly into my shoulder."I'll try," I replied honestly. She pulled back an

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    grief

    Quin's POV Breakfast ended without any more hiccups, but I couldn't stop thinking about Billie's face. The bruise she tried too hard to hide, she's one of the most careful people I know so it couldn't have been whatever she said it was. The way she flinched slightly when Mum touched her cheek was something too. Billie was the notorious one so that was totally weird. I needed to talk to her alone, because I have so many questions to ask. The opportunity came when Tyler and my parents moved to the living room and Julian disappeared somewhere upstairs. Billie stayed behind in the dining room, pretending to help clear the table even though the housekeeper was already handling it. I walked back in quietly and closed the door behind me. She stiffened immediately. "Don't even start," she said before I could even open my mouth. "I haven't said anything yet." "You don't have to. I know that face too well." She picked up a glass and set it down again without any real purpose. "Yo

I'd rather get myself different playthings than to be tied t

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Dinner with my Fake Husband's parents

    Tyler’s POVI should not be this nervous, it's just dinner.That thought had been going through my head for the past ten minutes as I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my sleeve for no real reason other than the fact that my hands refused to stay still. I’d already fixed it more times than ne

    Tyler's POV I should have said no.I should have stood my ground.That was the thought running through my head as I stood outside my apartment building later that afternoon, staring at the black SUV parked by the curb like it was some kind of threat.Because that’s exactly what it felt like. A thre

    Tyler’s POVThe contract was obviously thicker than the one Quin had emailed me the night before.
