The Billionaire's Only Exception のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 6

Keegan’s POVI stood in the long verandah outside my private wing with my arms crossed tight over my chest. The rest of the mansion was all fancy lights and expensive furniture for guests I never invited.The air had been filtered twice and the windows were shut tight just as I liked it. I hated surprises and made sure everything around me was the way I needed it.Dr. Sterling stood a few feet away, looking at me in that careful way he always did, like I might break if he said the wrong thing.He had his white coat on and his stethoscope hanging over his neck. He was in in his sixties and his dark hair was quickly turning gray. “Keegan, let’s try the new protocol today. We'll make use of your wrist with just two seconds of contact and we believe the meds we gave you an hour ago should keep the reaction smaller this time.”I didn’t answer right away.My black leather gloves felt like an armor to me and I hated taking them off.

Keegan's POVYesterday’s elevator disaster kept replaying in my head like a bad song.I had been trying to get to my car without dealing with anyone, just a quick ride down in my private elevator. Then this woman marched in like she owned the damn thing.For one single, stupid second, I was stunned. She was striking with a unique eye color, confident posture and the kind of presence that demanded attention whether you wanted to give it or not.She didn’t even hesitate, she just slammed her leg in the door, stepped inside, and started talking.My brain actually short-circuited. Then reality slammed back in. I couldn’t be close to anyone so I shouted at her to get out. Most people would have bolted, but she didn’t. She called me crazy to my face and even had the nerve to say I was handsome.Too bad you’re crazy, because you’re actually handsome.The nerve.I shook the memory away as I sat at my desk on the raised platform. I had already taken my extra antihistamines and put on fresh glo
