Quin's POV

Jake called exactly two hours later before I could call him like he asked me to.

Then again four hours after that, and once more the following morning. Each conversation ended the same way.

He had nothing.

No new files. No hidden accounts. No secret communications that explained Julian’s chilling final words. No smoking gun. No proof of what Billie had supposedly refused to do.

Nothing.

It was driving me insane.

I sat in my office staring out at the New York skyline through the floor

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    will you marry me for real?

    Quin's POV Tyler was acting all sneaky and suspicious all week. But I hadn't paid too much attention. I was busy thinking of how to hunt the messenger.The last message I got was the last for a while. It was actually starting to piss me off how someone was constantly interrupting my peace.Waking up to Tyler's mouth around my dick was not on my bingo card and coming home to a surprise party was definitely not on my bingo card too. My heart almost exploded from the excitement I felt seeing my family all together in one place and it was a good celebration.Fuck! I miss Billie.Tears threatened to spill as I held the pretty man that started this whole plan. If Billie was here, she would tease me till I couldn't take it anymore.The party had been going for almost two hours now, and my husband was acting suspicious. I stood near the bar nursing a glass of whiskey while watching him laugh with my mother but every thirty seconds Tyler glanced in my direction, then looked away with a smile

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    A Day Worth Celebrating 🎉

    Tyler's POVThere were many things I considered myself reasonably good at. Surviving disasters,making decent coffee,Annoying Quin McKenzie on a daily basis and accidentally getting dragged into life-threatening situations. Thankfully we haven't been threatened for like a week now even though Quin acts sneaky sometimes.What I was definitely not good at was planning surprise parties, especially surprise birthday parties for billionaire CEOs who somehow noticed every single detail around them like a hawk or whatever animal does that. Which was exactly why I was currently hiding in one of the mansion’s unused sitting rooms, whispering aggressively into my phone while trying not to get caught.“No. Absolutely not.”Cassie’s offended gasp exploded through the speaker so loudly I had to pull the phone away from my ear for a second. “What do you mean absolutely not?”“I mean absolutely not.”“You haven’t even heard my complete idea yet.”“Your ideas are why warning labels exist.”On the othe

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    The Real Game

    Quin's POV~She was just a piece on the board.For a second I thought I was imagining it.Maybe it was the sleep. Tyler’s warm body was pressed against my side, his breathing slow. The room was dark except for the faint glow of my phone screen. But the message remained.Every trace of exhaustion vanished instantly. There was no name and the number wasn't visible. At this point Tyler and I might stop using our phones for peace of mind. But I wouldn't discomfort myself to please anyone.Beside me, Tyler shifted slightly in his sleep. I locked the phone quickly before he could see it and set it facedown on the nightstand. My pulse was suddenly too loud in my ears.Mrs. Davis was dead. The woman responsible for the threats and the fire, the woman who had spent years making Tyler’s life a living hell. And someone was telling me she had never been the real problem. That she had been a piece. A pawn.That was insane.Which meant there was a player, someone behind the board. who knew enough t

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Home Again

    Tyler's POVAfter much thought I decided to call Quin to come pick me up.The drive was quiet. I had a lot going on in my mind to talk about, but I didn't know where to begin. I sat in the passenger seat staring out the window while the city moved around us. I had just walked out of a mortuary after saying goodbye to the woman who had spent most of my life teaching me what love was never supposed to look like.My chest felt hollow.Quin kept glancing at me every now and then. The first few times I pretended not to notice. Then I finally sighed.“ Are you sure you're even focused on the road right now?”His grip tightened slightly around the steering wheel. “I am.”“The way you're staring could make one think otherwise.”“I’m multitasking. Watching my environment while driving.”I almost smiled.The fact that he was even trying made something ache inside me. Because despite everything that had happened, Quin still worried about me and he made it quite obvious.The silence returned. A fe

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    I survived You.

    Tyler's POVI stood outside the mortuary for almost twenty minutes before I finally went in.The building wasn’t particularly intimidating. There were no thunderclouds overhead or dramatic music playing in the background. Just a normal building. Normal doors with normal people walking in and out. Because death should feel bigger than this. It should announce itself somehow. Instead, life continued exactly as it always had.My fingers tightened around the strap of my bag. I still wasn’t sure why I came. Closure? Curiosity? Obligation? Maybe some stupid part of me was still hoping to feel something different. Something like, grief, Devastation, Loss or Anything. But I didn't , I just felt tired.The last few days had been a mess. The argument with Quin replayed inside my head every time I tried to sleep or closed my eyes. I saw the look on his face after I told him maybe we shouldn’t be together. The hurt. The shock. The way he’d looked like I’d physically hit him. And the worst part? I

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    If We Can't Trust Each Other

    Quin's POVI stood frozen as the scream echoed and Mrs. Davis hit the ground hard, her body twitching. The sound of the impact made even me wince.Ouch!That must have hurt.“Jesus Christ,” Jake muttered under his breath.Jake and I didn't make any attempt to go closer, but a few security guys rushed towards her. One of them quickly turned her body, laying her flat on the floor face up with the shoe still attached to her chest. Someone shouted to call an ambulance and another was saying she was already gone.A woman capable of orchestrating hit-and-runs and arson had been defeated by her own footwear.For a brief moment I simply stared. Then I sighed. “Well.”Jake looked disappointed. “That’s it?”“What were you expecting?”“I don’t know. Something a bit more dramatic.”“She just tried to escape and lost a fight against a shoe. Isn't that dramatic enough.”I was annoyed and pissed that she had to go so easily. But oh well, she was still gone.Jake and I both looked at eachother before
