Satisfying the billionaire (mxm)의 모든 챕터: 챕터 121 - 챕터 130

Leo didn’t sleep much that night.Grayson was asleep beside him, one arm thrown over Leo’s waist like he was holding him in place.Leo stared at the ceiling.Too many thoughts.Too many things happening at once.The investigation.The media.The baby talks.The mysterious whistleblower.Leo carefully slipped out of bed so he wouldn’t wake Grayson.But the moment his feet touched the floor “Where are you going?”Leo froze.He turned around slowly.Grayson was awake, staring at him with sleepy eyes.“I was trying not to wake you,” Leo said.Grayson sat up, rubbing his face.“You sneaking away at three in the morning is worse.”Leo walked back over and sat on the bed.“I couldn’t sleep.”Grayson opened his arms.“Come here.”Leo climbed back into his lap without arguing.Grayson rested his chin on Leo’s shoulder.“What’s running through that head of yours?”Leo sighed.“What if this whistleblower thing explodes tomorrow?”Grayson shrugged.“Then it explodes.”Leo groaned.“You’re way to

Leo woke to the faint hum of the security system and the smell of early morning coffee drifting from the kitchen. Grayson was still asleep, sprawled across the bed, one arm dangling off the side like he owned the world and maybe he did.Leo stretched and glanced at the clock: 5:03 AM. Too early, but sleep wouldn’t come back. He crept downstairs in his shorts, the floor cold against his feet.The kitchen was empty. That was odd.“Grayson?” Leo called softly.No answer.Then he heard it a quiet shuffle from the living room.“Hello?” Leo whispered, walking toward the sound.He froze when he saw a shadow moving near the security screens. His heart skipped.“Who’s there?” he demanded.The figure froze. Then a soft chuckle echoed.“Leo?” The voice was familiar.Stephen stepped out from behind the sofa, holding a laptop like a shield. His eyes were tired but intense.“Stephen! What what are you doing awake?” Leo whispered, trying not to panic.“I couldn’t wait,” Stephen said. “There’s someth

The next few days felt… strange.Too quiet.Leo didn’t like it.He stood in the kitchen, stirring his coffee slowly, eyes fixed on nothing.Grayson walked in, already dressed, sleeves rolled, looking like he had everything under control as usual.“You’ve been staring at that cup for five minutes,” Grayson said.Leo blinked.“Huh?”Grayson walked closer.“Where did you go?”Leo sighed.“Nowhere… just thinking.”Grayson leaned against the counter.“That’s never a good sign.”Leo gave a small smile.“I can’t help it.”Grayson reached out and tilted Leo’s chin up.“Talk to me.”Leo hesitated.Then quietly “It’s too quiet.”Grayson frowned.“You want chaos back?”Leo shook his head quickly.“No… but this calmness doesn’t feel real.”Grayson studied him.“You think something’s coming.”Leo nodded slowly.“Yes.”Grayson didn’t dismiss it this time.Instead, he stepped closer and wrapped his arms around Leo.“Then we’ll be ready.”Leo rested his head on his chest.“You always say that.”Gray

The house felt like it was holding its breath.No one spoke for a while after the video ended.Leo’s hands were still shaking.Grayson noticed.He stepped closer without thinking… then paused.That small pause hurt more than anything.Leo saw it.But this wasn’t the time.“We don’t have 24 hours,” Leo said quietly. “We have less.”Marcus nodded.“They won’t wait if they think we’re stalling.”Jamie looked between them.“So… what’s the plan?”Grayson finally moved again, stepping forward fully this time.“We give them what they want.”Leo snapped his head toward him.“What?”Marcus frowned.“That’s too risky.”Grayson shook his head.“Not the real evidence.”Leo understood immediately.“A fake.”Grayson looked at him.“Exactly.”Leo stepped closer.“And while they’re focused on that… we get Stephen out.”Grayson’s eyes held his.“You still trust me enough to do this?”The question sat heavy between them.Leo hesitated.Just for a second.Then “Yes.”Grayson let out a breath he didn’t

Grayson’s hand slipped from Leo’s wrist.That alone felt wrong.Everything in him screamed to pull Leo back, to stop this, to end it But Leo stepped forward anyway.Slow.Steady.“I said I’m right here,” Leo repeated.Carter smiled like he’d just won something.“I admire the courage,” he said. “Or maybe it’s stupidity.”Leo shrugged lightly.“Maybe both.”Grayson clenched his jaw.“Enough games,” he said coldly. “Let her go first.”Carter tilted his head.“You’re still negotiating?”Grayson stepped forward.“I’m setting terms.”The air shifted.Even Carter noticed.Leo glanced at Grayson.That look…Dangerous.Controlled.The kind of look that meant Grayson was about to do something bold.Carter laughed softly.“Fine. A trade then.”Leo’s heart thumped.“You come here…”Carter pointed at a spot in front of him.“…and she walks free.”Grayson’s voice dropped.“No.”Leo didn’t look back.“Grayson.”“No,” Grayson repeated, firmer this time.Leo took another step.“You said you trust me.
