“You’ve been too quiet for days now, Leo. Did something happen on your trip?”

That was Lena’s voice, laced with worry.

It had been three days since Leo and his father returned from their trip to Julian’s family home, and since, Leo had been fighting demons.

He had been a shadow of himself, always lost in thoughts, always sobbing, zoning out, never truly understanding what was happening around him.

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   125– The Wedding, Pt 2

    The swell of the music rose, bouncing off the walls of the cathedral as the doors swung open. Miranda stepped into view, beginning her walk down the aisle.Antonio stood at the edge of the altar, his posture straight, though his nerves were firing in a dozen different directions at once.His palms were damp against his sides. But as he forced himself to stare at the approaching bride in her white gown, his mind fractured, replacing her image.He imagined it was Leo walking up those steps toward him instead.How would that look? he wondered, desperation gripping his chest.Would we ever actually get married?Would we need to keep what we have a secret for the rest of our lives?Antonio gave a shake of his head, forcing the daydream away. He needed to focus on surviving the next ten minutes before he could even dare to think about a future with Leo. But for a fleeting moment, the thought had been beautiful, and it left a faint, ghost of a smile lingering on his lips.The oblivious gue

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   124– The wedding, Pt 1

    “You’re late.”That was the first thing Antonio said to Julian the moment Julian walked into his groom suite. Anyone with an eye could see the nervous energy rolling off Antonio in waves. He was pacing the room like a trapped animal as he fiddled with the buttons of his shirt, his fingers shaking so much that he couldn’t even properly fix his shirt.There was no need to be prim and proper, he thought to himself. Not when the wedding would begin and end with a roar of chaos.“You should be happy I even came to this shit show.” Julian stepped in front of his brother, causing Antonio to halt his pacing.Then he began buttoning his shirt for him. “Are you that nervous?” Julian asked.Antonio nodded; there was no need to pretend otherwise. “I just don’t want anyone to be caught up in this mess. Especially our sisters.”“Which is why I’ve made sure they don’t make it to the church in time,” Julian assured his brother as he finished the last button and stepped back.Julian went to stand b

  • The Wife He Rejected And Humiliated Is a Billionaire CEO   123– Before I leave

    Julian groaned as he woke to heat and a tow curling sensation.His mind was still a haze, his eyes still heavy from sleep and exhaustion. The room was now soaked in darkness, only illuminated softly by the estate’s security lights. Julian tried to move but he felt a weight pin him down, as though his shoulders were trapped between something.Something…He moved his hands blindly.There were limbs—soft, smooth limbs.Julian inhaled a long breath and a familiar scent hit his nostrils. This was a scent he had grown accustomed to.And at that moment, sleep vanished from his eyes.Lena was on him. Her face was turned towards his toes and her ass to his face. Her tongue trailed the crown of his cock in slow, circular motion.Her movement was clumsy at first, but when she realized that he had woken up, she became more steady, taking him down to the back of her throat.“Fuck…” Julian groaned again, his toes curling in ecstasy as his hands fell to her waist, gripping tightly.What was going o

    “What. The. Hell. Are. You. Guilty. Of?”Julian’s chest rose on a deep, shaky breath, but he didn’t utter a word. He just kept his eyes locked onto Leo’s, his body rigid against the marble edge of the kitchen counter. The silence between them stretched, suffocating and carrying the weight of the dread.“Is this about the wedding?” Leo muttered, his voice dropping an octave as he stepped even closer, his shadow falling over Julian.Julian didn't blink, forcing his facial features to smooth out into a mask of pure indifference. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“It’s about the wedding, isn’t it?” Leo pushed, his eyes narrowing as he scanned Julian’s guarded expression. “What are you people planning to do?”“Leo—”“What the fuck is your brother planning to do?!” Leo demanded, his composure starting to crack. He grabbed the edge of the counter on either side of Julian, trapping him. “Is this why he explicitly told me I couldn’t attend? Because he’s planning to do something danger

    Julian was proving to be true house-husband material.By the time Lena woke up the next morning, he had already fed and cleaned Junior, then immediately shifted to making breakfast for her so she wouldn’t be late for her morning meetings. He was still wearing a checkered apron, his dark hair disheveled from cooking, when Lena walked down the staircase into the dining area.Lena’s mouth fell open the second she saw him standing over the plates. “What on earth are you wearing?” She laughed, the sound breaking the morning quiet.“An apron,” Julian pouted playfully, smoothing down the front of the fabric. “I just wanted to make a proper breakfast for my very hardworking wife.”“Not your wife yet,” Lena reminded him, stepping into the room.“You will be. Soon,” Julian retorted smoothly.“Says who?”Julian ignored the question, stepping behind her chair and pulling it out with a flourish. “You look absolutely beautiful this morning,” he murmured, planting a soft kiss onto the crown of her

    Two weeks later.“Junior has finally fallen asleep,” Julian said quietly as he walked into the bedroom, closing the door behind him with a soft click.Lena was standing in front of the dressing mirror, dressed in a sleek silk nightdress. She was carefully applying her nightly facial treatment, her reflection caught in the warm glow of the vanity lights.She let out a long, audible sigh of relief at the news.“Finally,” she breathed, dropping a cosmetic bottle onto the glass table. “Taking care of him paired with this relentless PR war has aged me ten years into the future.”Julian let out a sharp laugh at her theatrics, walking over and plopping down onto the edge of the mattress. “That has got to be the funniest shit I’ve heard all week,” he said between cackles. He leaned back on his elbows, tracking her movements. “But you look ten years younger, if you ask me.”“Thank God I didn’t ask you,” she sassed, rolling her eyes at her own reflection. “Men never notice these things.”Julian
