All Chapters of Alluring Mr. Billionaire : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Alex:I heard the door before I heard her.The sharp click of it closing, harder than usual. I frowned as I heard the anger that followed, knowing that this was an unusual reaction for Meghan.I was already standing by the time her footsteps crossed the hallway.“Meghan?” I said gently. “Are you okay?”No answer.Her steps didn’t slow. If anything, she moved past me, heading toward the stairs like nothing else mattered. Something was wrong, and even if I was blind, I could read her anger like an open book.I followed immediately, my cane barely keeping pace with the urgency in my steps.“Meghan.” I said again, frowning when she slammed her bedroom door shut. I reached her room seconds later, pushing the door open without knocking. “What happened, baby? What is going on?”“She’s impossible,” she snapped. “And she wants nothing to do with reality, she won’t even budge or understand. It is like the world has to revolve around what she wants, and unless we follow through with it… she is n

Meghan:I didn’t sleep well. It was like something had shifted and hadn’t quite landed yet. And the more I thought about it, the angrier I became.“Are you sure that you can stay?” Alex asked gently.“I am not going to allow her to dictate how I manage things and my life. I know that this is what she wants, but I am not going to have it.” I said, and he nodded.“Okay. My phone is on if you need me, and if you don’t feel it, just call the driver and he will come to pick you up.” He said, and I hummed in response before getting out of the car, knowing that he had an appointment to go to.I had work to do, and I knew that it would be enough for me to be distracted.I sat at my desk, going over schedules, confirming meetings, trying to drown out everything else with structure. Numbers made sense. Timelines made sense. And I knew that it was the one thing that truly made sense right now. My mom didn’t make sense with the way she was acting, and nothing in my life was actually making sense

Meghan:I didn’t realize how cold my hands were until I got into the car. They wouldn’t stop shaking, and though the shaking wasn’t enough for anyone to notice, it was enough that I had to curl them into fists just to feel in control again.Brandon’s voice kept replaying in my head.I’m coming back.I’m collecting.The way he said it, like it wasn’t a threat, like it was a promise. I swallowed hard, staring out the window as the city blurred past me.I had dealt with a lot in the past few weeks, but this was different. And after he kidnapped me when he did, I felt the danger that was coming with it. And the worse part was… he wasn’t bluffing.By the time the car pulled into the driveway, my chest felt tight. It was like something was sitting right on top of it.I stepped out quickly, not waiting for the driver, not waiting for anything. I just needed to see him, and I knew that I needed to breathe despite me not being able to focus or even gather my thoughts. I knew that I needed him.

Meghan:I woke up before him. And it was rare for that to happen. Usually, Alex was the one already awake, already thinking, already ten steps ahead of everything before I even opened my eyes.But this time, he was still. His arm wrapped around me, his chest rising slowly beneath my cheek, his breathing deep and even.For a moment, I didn’t move, I just stayed there. Because something about this felt… fragile, like it could slip away if I wasn’t careful. And I didn’t want to move from his arms after what happened last night. If anything, I wanted to lay in his arms a while longer simply because I believed that I could.My fingers rested lightly against his shirt, tracing nothing in particular, just needing to feel something real. Last night still lingered in my mind, my fear, the tension.Brandon…My chest tightened slightly. Because I knew that I was scared.I shifted just a little in his arms, and unfortunately, it was enough to either wake him up, or let him know that I was awake.

Alex:I didn’t wait for her to call this time, I went to her. And I knew that that alone should have told her this wasn’t a casual visit.The house was quiet when I arrived. The kind of silence that didn’t feel peaceful, it felt staged. And I knew my sister enough to know that she could easily play through with that game.“Alex.” Her voice carried from across the room before I even fully stepped inside. “You don’t usually come unannounced. And I believe that if you did, you have a reason for it.”“Yes, I do. And it is a reason that you are going to have to drop the act of dignity in and play your role as a person.” Then the soft sound of her heels against the floor as she approached.“I assume this is about Meghan.” She said, arrogantly. I didn’t even need to see her to know that she had her eyebrow raised an was smirking as she tried to hide her anger.. “And you want me to be her mother in this role?”“Of course I do.” I said, crossing my arms over my chest.There was something in he
