The Billionaire's Binding Proposal ~ 255
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 252~Kesley~The house was quiet and peaceful, but it felt a little too quiet once Niklaus left. His grandfather had called him for an urgent meeting, work calls, even though Niklaus didn't want to leave my side, I had insisted. He needed to handle his family business.Thankfully, I wasn't alone for long. The door creaked open, and Taraji poked her head in, holding two smoothies and a look of pure determination."The boss is gone, so the best friend is moving in," she announced, hopping onto the edge of the bed. She handed me a strawberry smoothie and sighed happily. "I made sure Niklaus saw me walk in so he wouldn't worry. Honestly, that man is like a mother hen now."I laughed, feeling the cold drink soothe my throat. "He’s just worried, Taraji. We’ve all been through a lot."We sat in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying the stillness. But I could tell Taraji had something on her mind. She was fidgeting with the straw of her drink, her eyes darting around the room."Hey

Chapter 251~Kesley~The laptop screen was so bright it made my eyes water, or maybe it was just the words staring back at me. I sat propped up against the hospital pillows, my body still aching, but my mind was suddenly racing a mile a minute.Niklaus was sitting right beside my bed, his hand resting protectively on my knee. He had been there all morning, refusing to leave even for a cup of coffee. Taraji was on my other side, leaning so close to the screen that her nose was almost touching the glass."Wait, move the mouse," Taraji whispered, her voice trembling. "Open that second one. The one that just popped up."I clicked the link, and my heart stopped. I read the email once. Then I rubbed my eyes and read it a second time, just to make sure the hospital medication wasn't making me see things."Niklaus," I breathed, my voice barely audible. "Read this. Tell me I’m not dreaming."Niklaus leaned in, his eyes darting across the text. Beside him, Taraji grabbed the edge of the bedshee

Chapter 250~Kesley~I did not let what happened with Rebecca weigh me down. The morning had been relatively peaceful until the door swung open, and Jude practically burst into the room. He looked like he had run all the way here. His hair was a mess, his glasses were sliding down his nose, and his face was flushed with a mix of terror and relief."Kesley!" he gasped, rushing to the side of my bed. "I saw the news. I saw the headlines about the kidnapping and the… the stabbing. I thought I was going to have a heart attack."I smiled weakly, touched by how much he cared. Jude had been my rock during the early days of the tech program, and seeing a familiar, friendly face made me feel more at ease. "I’m okay, Jude. Really. I’m healing."I had just ignored deep down in my mind how the last moment I had with Jude was awkward.Taraji, who was sitting in the corner with her laptop, looked up and grinned. "She’s a tough one, Jude. A few stitches can’t keep her down."Jude pulled up a chair,

Chapter 26 ~ Niklaus ~I couldn't breathe, comprehend or process what this woman—this real Taraji Gilbert—was telling me."The woman you met," she was saying, tears streaming down her face now, her voice breaking with every word, "I hired her to pretend to be me because I didn't want…""Stop." The
