All Chapters of Claimed by the Obsessive Billionaires: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

Serena Vale~•~The next three months were peaceful, but very different. It had also become normal.Rafael, Nikolai, and I finally moved in together two months ago. We were renting because I didn’t have enough money to buy a house yet, nor was I ready to combine finances when our relationship was still less than a year old. Navigating a three-way relationship was quite challenging. All three of us obviously couldn’t share a bedroom so we each had one. Everyone was very busy, which was what prompted us to move in together even if it was to catch a glimpse of each other during the mornings and nights.I heard the sound of a door closing softly somewhere along the hall, prompting me to stand up as well. I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and went straight to the kitchen when the scent of toast reached my nose. Rafael was already gone by the time I made it to the kitchen. His mug was in the sink, rinsed but not put away yet. Nikolai was on a kitchen stool, his tablet in one ha

Serena Vale~•~The kiss was slow. It tasted like red wine and a lot of tension. When Nikolai pulled away, his hand remained on my hair, his finger tracing my jaw with soft circles that distracted me from reality. “You’re still not telling us something.”On my other end, Rafael’s hand settled over my thighs. “We aren’t the enemy, Serena.” His voice was soft, careful. “If someone is threatening you or your business has hit something that you can’t handle–““It’s not that,” I interrupted him. No one was threatening me. Not directly at least. I looked up at Nikolai. Somehow, he looked a lot more handsome from this angle. I thought of Marcus and the NDA that accompanied my contract. If I spoke, I broke the law. If I didn’t, I’d let the people I love walk into an ambush. If I tried to find a loophole, I was sure Marcus would just attack me directly instead of the guys. There was no winning.He had been very calm for the past three months. We had built a secure working relationship. I even

Serena Vale~•~We ended up sleeping in my room. When I woke up the next morning, both sides of the bed were cold. I forced myself out of bed since I had another meeting with Marcus this morning.I brushed my teeth, showered, and got dressed. I was more than surprised when I went into the kitchen for a glass of water and saw Rafael and Nikolai still around.I looked at the time on my phone. They were usually gone by eight and those were on their late days. “Are you guys suddenly free these days?” I questioned, bringing their attention to me.“Rafael said it’s your birthday soon,” Nikolai said as I checked the cupboard for the cereal boxes. “We came back early last night to discuss it.”I paused. Was it that serious? I’d forgotten my birthday was less than two weeks away yet they remembered and came back from work early so they could plan for it? “When will you be free?” Rafael asked.“How long are you talking about?”“A weekend.”I thought about it. I wasn’t sure if I would be free a

Serena Vale~•~As the elevators closed after me, I leaned against the mirrored walls. Marcus's words kept replaying in my head like a broken record.“Now where’s the fun in that?” The fact that he hadn’t even tried to deny it was sick. It reinforced the suspicion that he made me hear him on purpose. And the fact that he was doing it because it was fun? He had an issue with Nikolai and couldn’t confront him head-on so he was going through me?I didn’t go to the office that day. I couldn’t.I gave myself a day off. That was the upside of running your own agency.I spent most of the day driving around the city, trying to clear my head and thinking of my next step.I even had to stop to get ice cream because apparently, ice cream solved everything. It didn’t.After ice cream, I walked into the nearest park, found a bench under a tree, and sat there while kids played around. The worst part wasn’t even Marcus. It was me.I had a lot of chances to walk away. Nikolai had tried to warn me f

Rafael Moretti~•~Serena hadn’t been home for almost a week. She spent the first two nights at Lila’s. After Monday, she spent the rest at work. There were usually nights when she didn’t return home because she was working on something very important, but this time was different. Staying in the office for three nights straight without even coming back home for a quick shower or change of clothes was unusual.But I was sticking to what Nikolai taught me. Giving her space even if that was the last thing I wanted to do at the moment.I was at the kitchen island, pretending I was absorbing the work emails I was reading when the front door finally opened.In walked Serena Vale.Her hair was down. Her makeup was minimal. Her blazer was tossed over one arm. She looked like she had a long day at work but it was worth it. She kicked her heels by the door and smiled when she saw me. Her smile was wide and easy like this was just another day. Like she hadn’t stayed away for five nights straigh
