Zara pointed a chopstick at her. “With all the work you’ve been making me do, you better prepare to give me a two-month vacation to Greece. And you’re the one sponsoring it.”

Aria nearly choked on her drink. “Why would I sponsor it?”

Zara lifted up her fingers. “One, you’re a billionaire now.”

“I’m not a billionaire,” Aria protested. “The company just earns a few millions.”

Zara ignored her. “Two, you’re my best friend. Whatever you own, I own it too.”

Aria raised a brow. “Even my husband?”

Zara made a disgusted face. “Eww. No, thank you.”

They both laughed.

“Clara said she’ll have lunch with us on Saturday,” Aria said. “At my place.”

“That’ll be great,” Zara replied, smiling.

Then Aria asked gently, “How’s Jaxon?”

Zara’s smile faltered a little. “He’s fine.” Then her brow furrowed.

Aria noticed. “What’s wrong?”

Zara sighed, shoulders slumping. “Nothing. It’s just… he’s been a little overprotective lately.”

“Overprotective?” Aria asked. “What’s wrong with that?”

“It’s becoming suffoca

  • The billionaire's secret vow    Chapter 75: still here

    Zara slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she became aware of was the steady beeping of a machine somewhere close by. The sound was rhythmic, constant, and irritatingly loud. For a moment, she simply lay there, confused, her mind sluggish and heavy, struggling to understand where she was and why her body felt like it had been dragged through fire.She blinked a few times, trying to clear the fog clouding her vision. White walls came into focus. A curtain. A metal stand holding a bag of clear liquid. And the smell of antiseptic hit her nose.A hospital.Why was she in a hospital?She frowned slightly and tried to push herself up, wanting to sit, wanting answers. The moment she moved, a sharp, searing pain ripped through her side.She groaned and dropped back against the mattress, her hand instinctively going to the source of the pain.And then it all came rushing back.Dimitri.Jaxon.The warehouse. The fight. The gun. The sound of the shot. The burning pain as the bullet tore i

    Dimitri stumbled from the force of the punch, his body jerking backward as air was knocked from his lungs. He staggered, boots scraping harshly against the concrete floor, but it took only a second for him to recover. Rage flared across his face, twisting his features into something ugly and unrecognizable.He lunged at Jaxon.The impact of their bodies colliding echoed through the room as Dimitri slammed his shoulder into Jaxon’s chest, driving him back several steps. Dimitri was fast, brutal, every movement sharpened by years of training and bitterness. He swung hard, fist cutting through the air and connecting with Jaxon’s jaw. Jaxon reeled but didn’t go down, wiping blood from the corner of his mouth as he braced himself.They circled each other like predators, boots grinding against the floor, breath heavy and labored. Dimitri struck again, this time catching Jaxon in the ribs. Pain exploded through Jaxon’s side, and Dimitri didn’t let up. He pressed his advantage, landing blow a

  • The billionaire's secret vow    Chapter 73: the signal

    Chapter 73: The signalDimitri came back to Zara not long after he’d left her alone. This time, he pulled a chair and sat directly in front of her, his posture relaxed, as though they were about to have a casual conversation and not one forced by chains and fear. His eyes studied her with unsettling focus, as if he were memorizing her reactions.“You know,” he said lightly, crossing one leg over the other, “we never really finished our conversation before the whole ‘accident’.”Zara didn’t respond. She lifted her chin and glared at him, her silence heavy with defiance.Dimitri chuckled. “That look,” he said. “You do that a lot. He does it too.”She said nothing.He leaned back slightly. “Should I tell you how Jaxon gave me this?” he added, pointing to the scar that cut viciously across his face. “Gave it to me like it was nothing. One clean move, and my face was ruined.”Zara’s jaw tightened, but she kept her mouth shut.“I saved his life,” Dimitri continued, his voice sharpening. “H

  • The billionaire's secret vow    Chapter 72: Blood, pain and tears

    Zara woke up slowly, dragged out of darkness by a violent throb pulsing behind her eyes. Her head was pounding, her stomach twisting with nausea. She groaned and tried to lift her hand—but it wouldn’t move.She tugged again.No movement.No sound but the scrape of rope burning against skin.She forced her vision to steady and looked down. Her wrists were tied—tight—to the arms of a wooden chair.Fear slid into her bones, cold and sharp.She lifted her head, taking in the room around her. The place was worn out… walls cracked, ceiling stained, dust coating everything. And it reeked of something foul mixed with heavy dust—something she didn’t want to identify.Her vision was still slightly blurry from the chemical she inhaled, so she closed her eyes and breathed slowly, waiting for the dizziness to ease. It took a few minutes before her head cleared enough for her to focus.Then she heard footsteps. Her entire body stilled.Slow, heavy and unhurried, coming straight toward her.And that

  • The billionaire's secret vow    Chapter 71: The moment she disappeared

    Zara slowed the car to a crawl as she turned off the main road, following the location sent to her. The place looked abandoned—broken concrete, rusted sheets of metal, and what might have been an unfinished warehouse sat there. Nothing about the area looked active. Nothing looked like a hideout. Nothing looked like a place someone would keep a commander captive.Her stomach tightened.Idiot, she scolded herself silently.She should have checked the place on Google Maps before leaving Aria’s house. She should have at least confirmed there were buildings nearby—or people.But she hadn’t.She was desperate. Desperate and impulsive.Zara sat in the car for a moment, scanning through the windshield. No movement. No lights. No cars. No sound except the engine of her car, humming low.She huffed, gripping the steering wheel.Maybe it was a mistake.Maybe someone was playing with her.She picked up her phone and typed:I’m here.A reply appeared almost instantly.Come out.Zara stared at the

    Damian went straight to where Aria was sitting the moment he walked into the living room. He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead.Aria turned slightly toward the woman beside her.“Damian, this is Clara, my closest friend from uni. Clara, this is Damian… my husband.”Clara stood and stepped forward with a warm smile and extended her hand. “Nice to meet you.”That was when Damian finally looked at her. Really looked. His eyes were dark and sharp. Intense enough that Clara almost withdrew her hand on instinct. He didn’t smile. He just held her gaze for a second that felt much longer, gave her hand a brief but firm shake, and nodded.Before he could step back, Aria pinched him on the arm.He turned, frowning. Aria arched her brows meaningfully toward Clara.Damian sighed, then finally spoke, “Nice to meet you. I hope you enjoy your stay.”Clara smiled again but it was small. She was still recovering from the… impact of his presence.Zara, being Zara, couldn’t resist. “Do
