Semua Bab A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Chapter 21: Shadows of BetrayalDamon’s gaze burned into Sarah as she stepped into the sleek office, her heels clicking with that familiar confident rhythm that had somehow managed to both calm and ignite a storm inside him. The city’s skyline was a jagged heartbeat outside the glass walls, but inside, the tension between them was electric—thick enough to choke on, yet tantalizingly sweet. Sarah’s eyes didn’t waver; she met his stare head-on, unflinching, as if daring him to unravel whatever tangled emotions lay beneath the surface.“You’re late,” Damon said, voice low, but the sharp edge had softened.“Traffic,” she replied smoothly, but the flicker of something more—nervous excitement?—flashed in her eyes. He caught it immediately.He stepped closer, the space between them shrinking until his breath brushed against her cheek. “You know, I don’t think it’s just traffic.”A mischievous smirk tugged at Sarah’s lips. “Oh? And what’s your theory, Mr. Draven?”His fingers curled around th

The night swallowed the city whole, but inside Damon’s study, the atmosphere was electric with tension. Sarah paced, her mind racing with everything she’d just uncovered. A hidden folder on Damon’s laptop—encrypted files, mysterious meetings, whispered phone calls. The man she thought she knew was a labyrinth of secrets.Damon watched her from the doorway, his usual confidence cracked just enough to reveal a flicker of vulnerability. “You shouldn’t be digging through my things,” he said, voice low but firm.Sarah stopped, meeting his gaze. “And you shouldn’t be hiding things from me.”The silence stretched between them, thick with unspoken truths. Then, Damon stepped forward, closing the gap. His fingers tangled in her hair, pulling her close until their breaths mingled.“Do you really want to know everything?” His lips brushed her ear, sending a shiver down her spine. “Because some secrets… they don’t just disappear. They come back to haunt you.”Her answer was a breathless yes.Befo

Chapter 25: Secrets Beneath the SurfaceThe dawn broke over Brooklyn like a fragile promise, pale light creeping cautiously through the heavy curtains of Damon Draven’s penthouse. But inside, the world was far from peaceful. Shadows lingered in every corner, secrets whispered behind closed doors, and the air hummed with a tension that refused to dissipate.Sarah lay awake, tangled in Damon’s sheets, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts and fears. The night’s confessions and whispered promises echoed in her ears, but so did the warnings—cryptic messages, hidden threats, the ever-looming presence of Katrina Andre. She knew the war they were in wasn’t just about business or media scandals—it was personal, dangerous, and merciless.Damon stirred beside her, his strong arms pulling her closer instinctively. His breathing was slow, steady, but she could feel the storm behind his calm facade. They both knew this fragile peace was temporary.Breaking the silence, Sarah whispered, “Damon, what if

The city hummed far below, but inside Damon’s penthouse, the world narrowed to the heat radiating between them. His hands weren’t just tracing Sarah’s waist anymore—they were exploring, memorizing every curve beneath the silk of her blouse. She melted against him, breath hitching as his fingers danced down the delicate fabric, teasing skin that had been hidden too long.His lips brushed her jawline, hot and possessive, sending a shiver spiraling down her spine. “You’re mine,” he murmured, voice husky with need and something darker—an almost desperate claim.Sarah’s fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer as her own heartbeat thundered in her ears. “Damon,” she breathed, “we don’t have much time. The danger outside—”He silenced her with a slow, searing kiss, his mouth demanding and fierce. The tension between them wasn’t just about lust—it was survival, a tether to something real in a world unraveling at the edges. The way he looked at her, like she was the only thing worth fi

The storm outside hammered against the windows like a relentless drumbeat, but inside the penthouse, the tension between Damon and Sarah was a different kind of tempest—wild, unpredictable, and impossible to ignore.Sarah stood near the expansive glass wall, watching the rain blur the city lights into a shimmering haze. Her heart pounded, a mix of adrenaline and fear swirling inside her. She felt exposed, raw beneath the surface she had so carefully constructed over the past weeks.Damon’s gaze was fixed on her, eyes dark and intense. He stepped forward, the space between them charged with unspoken words and unresolved emotions.“You’re quiet,” he said, voice low and rough.Sarah swallowed hard. “I’m scared,” she admitted. “Not just of what’s out there—of what this means. Us. This life. Everything.”He closed the gap, reaching for her hand. “You think I’m not?”Her fingers curled around his, the heat from his skin seeping through the thin fabric of her sleeve. “Then why keep pretendin
