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

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Holding on

    Tyler’s POVI completely forgot how to think.One second I was standing in Quin’s office, trying to decipher the heavy weight pressing down on his shoulders. The next, I was pinned against him—his mouth on mine like he’d been starving for weeks and finally allowed himself to take what he wanted.Maybe he had.My brain short-circuited. Any logical thought dissolved the moment his lips moved against mine with a desperation that stole the air from my lungs. His hand slid into my hair, fingers tightening, sending a warm aching pull through my chest. It wasn’t just desire, It was way deeper than that. It felt like relief—bone-deep, soul-settling relief. The kind you only feel when something precious you didn’t even know you’d lost is suddenly returned to you.Quin kissed me, holding on to me like I would disappear if he let go. The thought made my chest ache painfully."Mmm..." I moaned into his mouth.His mouth claimed mine again, slower this time, more deliberate, and any remaining fragm

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    No Longer Wasting Time

    Quin’s POVJake worked from my place the previous night and left late around 12am. He was going to forward everything to me .I arrived at Makell Holdings long before sunrise, the city still half-asleep beneath a bruised sky. The executive floor was deserted when I stepped off the elevator, exactly as I wanted it. No witnesses or polite morning greetings, Just silence and the low hum of servers already awake and working.I walked straight into my office and dropped into the chair. My computer flared to life with overnight reports I mostly ignored. The only thing that mattered was the folder Jake had sent at 3:22 a.m.MARCUS HALEI opened it again for like the fifth time. The evidence hadn’t changed. The cold fury in my chest hadn’t either.Eight hundred thousand dollars, dozens of meticulously disguised transfers, and confidential files. Every sensitive piece of information Marcus could access had flowed straight to Aiden.But the worst part wasn’t the money. It wasn’t even the betray

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    The Enemy Within

    Quin’s POVI waited patiently for Tyler to go upstairs before I called James back. And the second his footsteps faded upstairs, I was already moving. I left the laptop open on the counter, screen still glowing with half-finished reports, and walked straight into my office. The door shut behind me with a soft, decisive click that sounded louder than it should have in the quiet house.Jake had found something on Aiden that has something to do with my office. If Aiden was able to convince someone in my company to work with him that means this was his plan all along. It was never about Tyler.I locked the door out of habit and dialed Jake's number. He answered on the first half-ring."Tell me it was a mistake.” I said without greeting.“Unfortunately it wasn't. I checked it twice and I was not wrong.”The words dropped like lead into my stomach. I sank into the chair behind my desk, the leather creaking under my weight. Outside the wide window, the city glittered coldly against the night

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Dinner with Cassie

    Tyler's POVI woke up suddenly, my heart already racing.For one terrible second, I thought I was still in that basement while the concrete walls were closing in, the metallic clang of that heavy door. My heart slammed against my ribs before my brain caught up.Then my eyes snapped open to the familiar ceiling. Soft morning light filtering through the blinds. The faint scent of clean linen and the subtle trace of Quin's cologne lingering on the pillow beside me.Definitely not the basement.The relief hit so hard it left me dizzy. I lay there for several long seconds, just breathing, letting the panic ebb away like a tide pulling back from the shore. My body still ached every now and then and the place I was hit at the back of my head still felt tender.All thanks to Quin I was alive and safe.I turned my head. The other side of the bed was empty, the sheets cool and undisturbed. A small knot of unease tightened in my stomach.I sat up slowly . The headache was still there, a dull, pe

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    The Beginning of the End

    Quin's POVJake and his team took down everything on the net related to Tyler like I told him too.I took my phone away from him.I wanted him to go to the hospital for a check up or at least call a doctor in, but he refused. So now I have to take care of him myself. I cleaned his wrists , made sure he showered before we came back down to the living room.Tyler lay down on one of the couches, while I brought down my laptop from my home office to work while I watched him.I pulled up the backlog of work that had accumulated over the past days. There was a significant amount of it. The board situation needed addressing properly before next week, three acquisition reviews waiting for my sign off and a statement from the PR team about the article that required my input before they released anything publicly.I read through the PR draft first.It was carefully worded and said very little. Which was the right instinct but the wrong execution. I rewrote the key section, kept the language clea

  • The Billoniare's Fake Husband    Home Sweet chaos

    Quin's POV Sitting beside Tyler felt surreal. For the last thirty-two hours, finding him had been the only thing that mattered. Now he was sitting less than two feet away from me with his head resting against the window and his eyes closed. Safe and alive. I still hadn't fully processed it. Even after calling Ethan to help with getting him out I prayed and hoped he was ok. The moment I had gotten into the elevator leaving the board meeting I contacted him without a single second of hesitation. He had confirmed availability in under minutes. Ethan was an ex military personal who owned a security company. It made perfect sense to involve him even if it was a last minute call. He was one of the few people I trusted in situations that required competence like this. He also owed me a favor from a few years ago. A favor I had collected without hesitation. Aiden had been surprisingly foolish. He had spent so much time planning how to take Tyler and kept him away that he'd apparentl
