Bound by a Billion Dollar Marriage Chapter 39: My Husband's Out, and So Is the CEO Wonderful
Grayson had been gone barely two minutes when the butler's footsteps approached. Isla shot upright instantly, composed herself, and rubbed her ankle like nothing had just happened."Madam, we've got an ice pack ready, and the doctor should arrive shortly," the butler said respectfully from the doorway.A maid stepped in with the ice pack, moving to apply it herself."Thank you I've got it from here. You can go ahead."The maid glanced at the butler, who nodded, and handed the pack over before retreating quietly to the door."Rest up, Madam. The doctor will examine you the moment he arrives.""Thank you, I appreciate it," Isla said sincerely."Just doing my job, ma'am." The butler moved to close the door, then paused. "Madam the young master left for a checkup today. He won't be back for several days. If you need anything, come find me or the staff directly."Relief flooded through Isla carefully masked behind a suitably worried expression."Is he alright? Is there anything I can do?"

Grayson looked down at the woman in his arms playing dead, three visible tension lines forming on his forehead.After a beat, he simply carried her inside the estate.Isla kept her hands clenched tighter and tighter against her chest as they moved.This is dangerously close to disaster. If anyone suspects a thing, I am completely finished. I need to sell this performance.She forced her lashes still, steadied her breathing, and committed fully to the role.The butler stepped out to greet them, momentarily startled at the sight of Grayson carrying Isla inside then recovered his composure fast."What happened, Madam?""Twisted her ankle. Fainted." Grayson's tone was cold, clipped, done with the whole ordeal."Thank you for personally seeing her home safely, sir.""This way, sir."Listening to the exchange, Isla's anxiety spiked dreading what Grayson might say next, or worse, that the real Grayson Vale might want to see her.She felt herself being carried up the stairs. Oh no. Is he actu
Bound by a Billion Dollar Marriage Chapter 37: Every Girl Dreams of Being a Father
"Crazy woman, she's INSANE!" One of the men's screams sharpened into panic.Both shapes bolted out of the alley like they'd seen a ghost."YOU'RE the crazy ones, your whole family's crazy!" Isla shouted after them, chest heaving.She stumbled out of the shadows, muttering to herself."Why is it only Grayson Vale that turns me into a pushover? If he weren't my boss I'd beat him until he called me 'Dad'! Hmph!" Isla, riding high on adrenaline, spouted absolute nonsense with zero self-awareness.After tonight's dinner humiliation, that little brawl actually helped a LOT."Excuse me you want to be my WHAT?" A clear, familiar voice cut through the dark, laced with barely restrained fury.Every hair on Isla's body stood on end.Her eyes went wide as saucers. "AAAAH! You scared the LIFE out of me!" She jumped, flailing on the spot.She spun around in horror, spotting a tall, unmistakable figure standing beneath the dim streetlight."Mr. Mr. Vale?!" Isla called out uncertainly, squinting thro
Bound by a Billion Dollar Marriage Chapter 36: Come On, Don't Be a Coward
Isla didn't dare look up for the rest of the meal, spending every bite in a low-grade panic.She was starving, but wouldn't touch anything without inspecting it first even the water got a cautious lick before she committed to drinking.Twice now, this man has ruined dinner. First he bankrupted me. Now he tried to poison my taste buds. Never again.Nothing good has ever come from eating with this man."Mr. Vale, it's getting late I should head home. Thank you for dinner." Isla wiped her mouth, considerably steadier than the mess she'd been minutes ago.Dancing with a wolf requires nerve. And apparently a lot of self-control.Since he hadn't brought up the wasabi disaster directly, she decided to pretend she didn't suspect a thing either.She set down her napkin, hands folded on her knees, blinking up at him with practiced innocence."Mm." Grayson's response came low and even. He set down his utensils, picked up a napkin, and wiped his hands with unhurried precision. Clean, elegant fing

"Mr. Vale, I don't have any money," Isla said immediately."I'll just head home for dinner. Thanks anyway, sir." She finished with a stiff bow and turned to make her escape.Before she got a step away, Grayson's hand shot out of his pocket and grabbed the back of her collar.Isla felt, in that exact moment, like fate itself had her by the throat.Powerless. Cornered. Utterly at his mercy.Under the neon glow of the street, Grayson looked flawless tall, composed, effortlessly commanding. Isla, dragged along beside him, looked exactly the opposite: rumpled, defeated, wholly innocent."Did I say you could leave? I'm the CEO. What I say goes." Grayson pulled her forward, his voice landing on her from above, gaze fixed on her flustered face.The force of the pull was too much to fight, and Isla found herself yanked straight forwardNot just pulled. Pulled directly into his chest.Even through both layers of fabric, she could feel the solid muscle underneath.She jumped back the instant she

Isla understood exactly what he meant by that particular jab.And there's genuinely no good move here. Can't set it down. Can't keep holding it either.She sat there stiff and pale, choking down whatever retort she wanted to make, forcing a strained smile instead."Mr. Vale, you didn't just call me into this car so you could make fun of me, right?" Isla said, a bad feeling already creeping up her spine.Though honestly, at this point, I have no idea if "bad feeling" even covers what's coming.Serving under a man like this really is like handling a tiger. So why did I climb in this car after one sentence, no questions asked?!She glanced sideways at him. His profile was, as ever, unfairly elegant sharp jaw, soft skin, dark eyes bright with quiet mischief that never quite reached the surface.Isla's smile had gone rigid from strain, and Grayson still hadn't bothered replying at all.Just... completely ignoring me now. Great.She turned away, gently setting the paper bag down at her feet
