Chapter 58

~ Kesley ~

I stepped into the restaurant, Dante's credit card clutched in my sweaty palm like it might disappear if I loosened my grip.

The place was nicer than I'd expected. Much nicer.

Polished wood floors. Soft lighting. The kind of casual-upscale aesthetic that said "we're approachable but we still cost twice what you'd pay anywhere else."

White tablecloths on every table, even the casual ones. Fresh flowers in simple glass vases. Exposed brick on one wall that somehow managed t

    Chapter 261~Taraji~The room was a beautiful disaster. Everywhere I looked, there were rolls of white lace, samples of silk ribbons, and so in. In the middle of all the chaos stood a mannequin wearing my wedding dress. It was simple, elegant, and perfect. Looking at it made my heart do a little somersault. I was actually doing this. I was getting married to Fred.I had made the gown myself. I was the stylist for my wedding."Taraji, if you bite your lip one more time, you’re going to need stitches before the ceremony," a voice teased from the corner.I turned around and smiled at my bridesmaids. Kesley was there, of course, looking radiant as she helped me organize the seating charts. But right next to her was someone I never thought I would see in my circle.Amanda.She was busy steaming the bridesmaid dresses, her face calm. When I had first suggested we include Amanda, Kesley was a bit nervous. We all had a rocky history because of Dan, but Amanda was not a bad person. She had a

    Chapter 260~Fred~The office was quiet. Niklaus was sitting at his desk, I was opposite him. He was staring at a small, velvet box in his hand, flipping the lid open and shut, open and shut.I stood by the window, watching him. It was strange to see the big intimidating CEO looking so nervous about a piece of jewelry. Well I have been there."I want to do it right this time, Fred," Niklaus said, his voice unusually quiet. He looked up at me, and I saw a vulnerability in his eyes that he only ever showed when Kesley’s name was mentioned. "No lawyers. No witnesses for a signature. No business deal. I want to propose to her properly. Something intimate, just for us. She has been through so much because of me. She deserves this.” I nodded, leaning against the glass. Niklaus sighed, a small smile playing on his lips. "I’ve spent my whole life planning takeovers and mergers, but trying to figure out the perfect way to ask a woman to stay with me forever has me shaking in my boots.""You'

    Chapter 259~Kesley~ I got here before Jude. The coffee shop was filled up. I sat at a small corner table, watching the door. When Jude walked in, he looked hesitant, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on me. He smiled at me. "Hey, Kes," he said, sliding into the chair across from me. "Thanks for coming. I know you’re busy recovering ad with your project and… everything else.""Jude, we’ve been friends for a while now, it has not been a long time but surely I do consider you a friend." I started, keeping my voice soft. I didn't want to beat around the bush. I needed to be honest for his sake. "I wanted to meet you because I value you. You were there for me when things were overwhelming, and you were there for me when things got dangerous. But I need to be very clear about where we stand."Jude looked up, his expression pained. "I know what you're going to say, Kesley. I saw the way he looked at me in the hospital. I saw how he holds you.""It’s more than just how he holds

    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
