The Billionaire's Binding Proposal ~ 258
Chapter 258~Kesley~ After the storm of the morning, the meeting with the Grandfather, everything finally felt right. Niklaus was still over at the main estate, finishing up some last-minute paperwork with his grandfather. I had come home early to rest and process the fact that my life was finally my own again.I sat on the sofa, clutching a pillow to my chest. I reached for my phone, thinking that I really needed to call Taraji. I wanted to tell her the good news about the meeting before she saw it on the news. But before I could even find her name in my contacts, her face popped up on the screen. She was FaceTime-ing me."Great minds really do think alike," I laughed as soon as I swiped to answer. "I was just about to call you, Taraji! You won't believe what happened at the Grandfather’s house…."I stopped mid-sentence. Taraji wasn't looking at the camera. She was staring at her own hand, which was positioned perfectly in front of the lens. On her finger, a delicate, sparkling diam

Chapter 257~Kesley~I felt very well rested. I felt warm, safe, and incredibly loved. As I slowly opened my eyes, I realized I was being stared at. Niklaus was lying on his side, propped up on one elbow, just inches away from me. He wasn't sleeping. He was just... watching. His dark eyes were soft, tracing the lines of my face with a look of such deep adoration that it made my heart skip a beat."What?" I whispered, my voice thick with sleep. I felt the heat rush to my cheeks, and I instinctively pulled the silk duvet up to hide my blushing face. "Why are you staring at me like that?"Niklaus reached out, his fingers gently tugging the blanket down so he could see me again. A small, tender smile played on his lips."I can't help it," he murmured, his voice a low rumble that vibrated in the quiet room. "You are just so beautiful, Kesley. I’ve been lying here for an hour just thinking about how lucky I am. I don’t think I could ever take my eyes off you, even if I tried.""An hour?" I

Chapter 256~Taraji~The drive home felt longer than usual. My new ring kept sparkling on my finger every time we passed a street lamp. I kept touching it and smiling. Fred noticed and squeezed my hand gently.“You keep looking at it,” he said with a soft laugh.“I can’t help it. It’s beautiful. You’re beautiful,” I replied.He smiled and kept driving, but I could feel the heat between us growing. My body was already warm with wanting him.When we finally reached the apartment, Fred parked the car and we almost ran to the door. As soon as we stepped inside, he closed the door with his foot and pulled me into his arms. He kissed me deeply, his lips strong and full of love. I kissed him back the same way. Our tongues touched and my heart beat faster.“Taraji,” he whispered against my lips. “I need you tonight. All of you.”“I’m yours, Fred. Completely,” I answered.We moved slowly toward the bedroom, still kissing and touching each other. I pulled his shirt over his head. He unzipped my

Chapter 255~Taraji~It was warmer this morning. I stood in front of the mirror, smoothing out my dress and trying to calm the butterflies in my stomach. Today was the day."Fred?" I called out.He appeared in the doorway. He was wearing a casual top and jean trouser. "I’ve been thinking," I said, turning to face him. "About my dad. I think it’s time, Fred. I want you to meet him. Properly."Fred took a deep breath and nodded. "I was hoping you’d say that. I want to meet the man who raised someone as amazing as you. Let’s do it."He went back to his apartment and we both got dressed. The drive to my parents' house was filled with quiet music and a lot of hand-holding. When we pulled into the driveway of my childhood home, my heart was racing. My father was already standing on the porch, his hands tucked into his pockets. He had a stern look.The moment we stepped out of the car, he didn't wait. He walked straight to me and pulled me into a hug that smelled like home."I’m sorry, Tar

Chapter 254~Niklaus~I basically raced from the office to the house. My hands gripped the steering wheel so tight they throbbed. I needed to see her face. I needed to make sure the poison from those headlines hadn't settled too deep in her heart.I pulled into the driveway, the tires screeching. I didn't even wait for the engine to fully stop before I was out of the car and running through the front doors."Kesley!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the grand hallway. "Kesley, I’m home!"Silence.The house, was cold and quiet. I ran up the stairs, taking them two at a time, and burst into our bedroom. The bed was made. Her phone was gone. The room smelled faintly of her vanilla perfume, but she wasn't there."Kesley?" I whispered, a cold knot of panic tightening in my stomach.I pulled out my phone and dialed her number. It went straight to voicemail. I tried again. Nothing. I felt like I was losing my mind. After everything we had been through, the kidnapping, the hospital, the id

Chapter 253~Niklaus~The phone in my hand felt like it was about to shatter. I was standing in the hospital lobby, having just walked my father and grandfather toward the exit, when the notification flashed across the screen. My blood turned to ice. Then, it turned to fire.The Contract Queen: Did Kesley Use a Fake Accident to Secure Global Fame?I didn't need to read the article to know whose fingerprints were all over this. I looked up and saw Rebecca standing near the main entrance, talking to a group of staff. She looked smug. She had that tiny, satisfied smile on her face that she only wore when she thought she had successfully stepped on someone’s neck.She caught my eye and tilted her head, her expression saying, what are you going to do about it?I didn't yell. I didn't cause a scene. Instead, I turned to my father and grandfather, who were both looking at their own phones with expressions of horror and confusion.“I am handling this,” I said, my voice vibrating with a quiet,

Chapter 43 ~ Kesley ~I stared at Taraji like she'd lost her mind."How?" I said, my voice rising. "How the hell am I supposed to pull that off, Taraji? I'm not Aria. I'm Kesley Bellamy. His employee. The junior data analyst he personally hired less than a week ago. The one whose work he complimen
