BILLIONAIRE’S PLAY THING의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

Dominic’s POVThe event was meant to celebrate the company’s newest acquisition, a landmark deal that would have cemented Langford Industries as an unstoppable force in the market. The room was filled with board members, investors, and business rivals, all eager to toast the victory.They had no idea I was about to upend their entire world.I released Ethan’s hand reluctantly as I stepped up to the podium. He gave me a small, encouraging nod, and I drew strength from it.“Thank you all for joining us tonight,” I began, my voice carrying easily over the hum of conversation. The crowd quieted, drawn in by the authority they’d come to expect from me.I scanned the sea of familiar faces, men and women who had once been allies, competitors, even friends. Some looked at me with admiration, others with wariness. None of them knew what was coming.“We’ve achieved incredible things together,” I continued smoothly. “Tonight’s acquisition is proof of what Langford Industries is capable of. But I

Dominic’s POVThe boardroom is suffocating. It feels different today.I’ve sat at this table for over a decade, making decisions that shaped markets and industries, decisions that could topple competitors or elevate allies. But this… this isn’t business. This is goodbye.“Shall we get started?” says my CFO, his voice clipped and professional, though the vein throbbing at his temple betrays his composure.I give a single nod. “Let’s.”He clears his throat. “Before we proceed, Dominic, I’d like to once again raise the……”“No,” I cut him off smoothly, my tone leaving no room for argument. “We’re not revisiting this.”His jaw tightens. “With respect, the sale of the company is unprecedented. Our shareholders are demanding answers. Walking away at this stage…”“Is my decision,” I finish for him, leaning back in my chair with deliberate ease. “I built this company from nothing. It exists because of me. And if I choose to sell, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Today.”A murmur ripples

Dominic’s POVHe lay sprawled on the bed, bathed in moonlight, his chest rising and falling in quick, shallow bursts. The silvery glow painted his skin in shades of ivory and shadow, catching in his dark hair, turning him into something unearthly, untouchable. My breath caught at the sight.Ethan’s lips parted slightly as his gaze met mine. His eyes were luminous, wide and dark, a storm of emotion swirling in their depths. Need, trust, love, and beneath it all, a raw hunger that mirrored my own.“Dominic,” he breathed, my name barely a whisper.The sound of it unraveled me. I was across the room before I even realized I had moved, my body hovering over his. I kissed him without restraint, a deep, consuming kiss that stole his breath and mine. His mouth opened beneath mine, soft and yielding, and I swallowed his broken moan.His hands clutched at my shoulders, dragging me closer. The moment our chests pressed together, our bare skin meeting, heat seared through me. His heart thudded wi

The Icelandic night was unlike anything I’d ever experienced.Dominic and I sat on a thick wool blanket near a secluded geothermal pool he’d found earlier in the day. The steam rose in delicate tendrils, curling into the night air. The heat from the water contrasted sharply with the chill in the breeze, a strange but comforting balance.We hadn’t spoken much in the last hour. Dominic had built a small fire nearby, its crackle and pop the only sound between us. I leaned back on my hands, staring up at the sky. It seemed close enough to touch, as if I could pluck a star from the heavens and keep it in my palm forever.“This place feels unreal,” I said softly, not wanting to disturb the stillness.Dominic’s voice came from just beside me, warm and deep. “It does. Almost like the rest of the world doesn’t exist here.”“You’ve been quiet tonight,” I noted.He gave a faint smile. “Just thinking.”“About what?”“You,” he said simply, his gaze holding mine.My heart stuttered, caught off gua

Ethan’s POVLife with Dominic had become a kind of dream I never thought I’d get to live.Our days were unhurried, filled with the quiet luxury of simple pleasures that felt decadent only because they were ours. Mornings started with sunlight spilling through the floor-to-ceiling windows.Dominic’s warm body curled around mine, and the smell of rich coffee drifting in from the kitchen. Sometimes, we stayed in bed for hours, talking about nothing and everything until the world outside seemed irrelevant. Other mornings, he would pull me into his lap and kiss me until laughter turned into something deeper, something that left us breathless and tangled in sheets.The penthouse had become a sanctuary. We filled it with memories of our travels, photographs of sunlit beaches in Greece, a woven throw from Iceland, a handful of seashells displayed in a crystal bowl. It felt alive now, a far cry from the cold, pristine place it had once been when Dominic’s empire ruled his life.At night, he w
