All Chapters of My Husband's Billionaire Boss Shouldn't Know How I Taste : Chapter 201 - Chapter 208

[Alma]"I mean your siblings..." I continued, giving him a small, almost uncertain smile. "What about them? Any of them live in Crestfall?""I have none," Zevyn said again, and this time I felt my heart stop for a second. The words were so simple, but something about the way he said them made them feel heavier than they should have. A dark smirk curled up his lips, but there wasn't a fucking single trace of humor in it. His eyes remained fixed on mine, and for a moment, I couldn't tell whether he was angry or hurt."No parents..." he said, his voice quieter now. "No siblings..." His gaze didn't leave mine as that empty smile remained on his lips. "Just alone in the whole damn world."I just stared at him for a second before slowly turning my eyes away, my fingers tightening against my lap as everything suddenly made completely fucking sense. And suddenly, the memory of that day in his living room came rushing back so clearly that I could almost see it again. The pictures I'd innocen

[Zevyn]She stared at me as if she was seeing me for the first time.Her lips parted, but nothing came out. Then she snapped them shut and looked away, her fingers tightening against the glass in front of her. I watched her blink several times, each one slower than the last, as she fought like hell to keep the tears sitting in her eyes from spilling over.And just as if the conversation had never happened, she immediately jumped down from the stool. Her eyes snapped back to me, and every trace of the sadness that had covered her face only a few seconds ago seemed to disappear.Her eyes lit up again, that familiar spark returning so quickly that anyone who hadn't been watching her closely would have believed she was fine. But I had been watching her. I could still see it beneath that sudden brightness. She had pushed it somewhere deeper, somewhere she could pretend it wasn't there."I was meaning to tell you to give me a house tour," she said, reaching for the plates sitting on the isl

[Alma]What exactly did I expect from a man who was this fucking rich?lJust as we stopped in front of the next door, I had no idea why, but Sienna and Elara's faces suddenly flashed through my mind. My legs stopped moving before I even realized it, leaving me standing there with Zevyn's hand still wrapped around mine.I blinked, biting down on my lower lip as I tried to push the image away, but it lingered.And then Sienna's words returned too.I bit the inside of my cheek, almost expecting that same familiar tugging I'd felt yesterday, that heaviness that had settled somewhere inside my chest whenever I thought about what she'd said.But there was nothing.Just... emptiness.The space where something used to hurt suddenly felt completely fucking void, and somehow that felt stranger than the pain itself."Is Something wrong?" Zevyn's voice pulled me straight out of my thoughts.I blinked and turned toward him, only then realizing we'd been standing in front of the door without moving

[Alma]"What the hell is wrong with me?" I muttered, rubbing at my cheeks as if I could somehow erase the heat burning beneath my skin. It took exactly twenty seconds before the door behind me finally swung open.I didn't turn around.I couldn't.And I had no fucking idea why."Princess." Zevyn's voice cut through the silence, and I blinked, my fingers digging into my palm as I finally forced myself to look toward him.He was already watching me."Is something wrong?" he asked again, worry settling between his brows as his eyes searched my face.I shook my head."Nothing is wrong." The words came out a little too quickly, and I almost cursed myself the moment they left my mouth."We should keep going." I swallowed and folded my arms across my chest, suddenly grateful for the small barrier they created between us. I didn't want him reaching for my hand again. Not yet. I needed whatever the hell was happening inside me to settle down first, even though I couldn't understand what exactl
