Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire’s Emergency Bride: Kabanata 31 - Kabanata 39

BattlefieldGigi closed the door to my office behind her which blocked out the noise from the hallway that was far away.Then she came over to my desk. Put a big folder on it and it made a soft sound when it landed.My new office is really nice.It has furniture that looks like great windows that go all the way from the floor to the ceiling, shiny wood and a fantastic view of the city that goes on and on, towards the horizon.This office was the kind of place people wanted to work in.It was the kind of office people dreamed of having. Yet, despite all of that, it still didn't feel like mine.It felt borrowed, as if I were only pretending to belong there.Gigi rested a hand on the folder and gave me a serious look."This has everything you'll need for tomorrow's board meeting," she said."Background on every board member, the latest updates on the Singapore deal, financial summaries, and notes on the points Soren wants emphasized. Read all of it."I glanced down at the stack of neatly

Midnight WhispersTALIAI ran upstairs to the bedroom as fast as I could.My heart was still beating fast from the text message.Every step I took felt harder than the one. It was like the message had put heavy weights on my feet.When I got to the bedroom door I made myself take a breath before I opened it.I closed the bedroom door gently behind me. I stood against the bedroom door for a moment letting the wrap around me.Then I did my nighttime routine. I washed my face hoping the cool water would wash away some of the fear that the text message had left me with.I brushed my teeth. Put on my soft sleep shirt and shorts.Each action was something I had done before , almost reassuring but nothing about my life felt normal anymore.I got into the bed and pulled the blankets up to my chin. The sheets felt cool and soft, against my skin.I switched off the lamp by the bed. The room became dark. Moonlight came through the curtains as silver lines spread across the floor.Sleep would not

Lessons in the DarkTALIAI tugged lightly at the handcuffs, the metal cool against my wrists.They rattled softly against the headboard, the sound strangely loud in the quiet room.My heart was racing so fast I could hear it pounding in my ears, every beat making me more aware of how trapped and exposed I felt.“Soren,” I said, trying to sound calm even though my voice betrayed me with the slightest tremble.“This is... we should talk about this. You don’t have to…”He leaned over me, his eyes dark and full of heat.A slow, dangerous smile curved his lips, patient and confident, as though he already knew exactly how this would end.“Oh, now you want to talk?” he murmured. “After you pushed and teased and dared me like that?”His smile widened. “Cute.”I swallowed hard. My cheeks felt hot.“I was just... playing. You can let me go and we can”“Playing?”He chuckled low in his throat. The sound sent a shiver racing down my spine before settling somewhere deep in my stomach.“You starte

Morning Deal TALIA Morning light slipped through the curtains in soft golden lines. I woke up slowly, my body still heavy and warm from last night. The sheets felt smooth against my skin, and for a few seconds I just lay there, eyes half-closed, letting the quiet settle around me. The handcuffs were gone. My wrists felt a little tender, but nothing hurt.I turned my head and saw Soren already awake. He sat on the edge of the bed, pulling on a shirt. The muscles in his back shifted under the fabric as he moved. When he noticed my eyes open, he glanced over and gave me a small, knowing look. My cheeks heated up right away.Everything from the night before rushed back— the handcuffs, his mouth on my feet, the way he had eaten me out so messily and thoroughly until I came hard against his tongue.I could still feel the ghost of it between my legs, a dull, pleasant ache that made me shift under the covers. I sat up and pulled the sheet higher over my chest, suddenly shy. “Morning,”

UninvitedSORENI sat back in my chair and watched her.Talia stood at that table like she had always belonged there. Her voice stayed steady, her ideas were sharp and practical, she did not rush and she did not stumble.She simply took the room and made it listen. Pride settled deep in my chest real pride, the kind I rarely felt for anyone.She looked like she had been made for this world. For the pressure, for the game and for me.When she finished and sat down again the change in the room was clear. Uncertainty had become something, like admiration.Even the people who still didn't like the marriage couldn't deny what she had just done. I stayed calm on the outside.Under the table my hand touched hers for a short moment. She pressed back.The rest of the meeting moved faster after that. Numbers were discussed. Timelines adjusted.Arthur stayed quiet for a while, but the tightness in his jaw told me everything.He had come ready to tear her down and criticize her. Instead she had s
