KIERAN’S POV

The name hung in the air like a heavy fog. I looked at Sienna, and my heart dropped into my stomach.

"Vanessa," I repeated, my voice barely a raspy whisper.

"Don't lie to me, Kieran," she said, her voice terribly quiet. "I know about the fire sixteen years ago. I know your families grew up together, and I know she fled to London right after your parents died."

I went entirely rigid. My breath caught in my throat, and for a second, the walls of the room felt like they were closing

  • The Billionaire's Irresistible Touch   Chapter 76

    KIERAN’S POV ​I ended the call before he could say any more. Moments later, the maid knocked again. I let her in to drop the food on the table, then dismissed her with a wave.​I stepped into the shower, hoping the hot water would help me relax, but it didn't. I still felt tense. When I stepped out, the bathroom mirror was covered in fog. I swiped a hand across it. A stranger stared back—haggard, his eyes rimmed with red.​Sienna was awake. She sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes tracking me the second I walked out. There was that look again—the soft, knowing gaze that made my nerves hum.​"Hey, babe," I said. I pressed a quick kiss to her forehead, carefully holding my breath to keep my mask of calm from slipping. "Dinner’s here."​She gave me a small, tired smile, but it didn't reach her eyes. We sat at the small table. She didn't let me reach for the fork. She took the lead, guiding the fork to my lips with slow, deliberate movements. ​"Come on, babe. I can feed myself," I said

  • The Billionaire's Irresistible Touch   Chapter 75

    KIERAN’S POV Sienna didn't hesitate. "Okay. Okay, I'm calling him right now. Just stay still. Don't move."Her voice shook as she moved away to take my phone. I slumped forward, burying my face in my trembling hands, my hair damp and clinging to my forehead.Everything felt wrong. The air around me had grown heavy, vibrating with a high-pitched hum that signaled the world was about to splinter. If I lost my only exception—the one person I could touch without the universe fracturing into a thousand jagged pieces—then I was truly losing everything."Here." Sienna’s voice snapped me out of the spiral.I looked up to take the phone, but the sight of her face stopped me. She looked so genuinely terrified. The last thing I ever wanted to be was the source of her pain. I took the phone and caught her hand, pulling her down until she was sitting on my lap. I saw her fighting back tears, but one slipped from her eye, tracking a slow path down her cheek. She reached up to wipe it away, but I

    KIERAN’S POV The name hung in the air like a heavy fog. I looked at Sienna, and my heart dropped into my stomach. "Vanessa," I repeated, my voice barely a raspy whisper."Don't lie to me, Kieran," she said, her voice terribly quiet. "I know about the fire sixteen years ago. I know your families grew up together, and I know she fled to London right after your parents died."I went entirely rigid. My breath caught in my throat, and for a second, the walls of the room felt like they were closing in on me. The memory of the smoke, the screams, and the absolute isolation that followed rushed back, choking me."Sienna..." I choked out, reaching for her instinctively, but she flinched back slightly, staying just out of my reach."You told me there were no more secrets," she said, a stray tear finally cutting through the flushed heat of her cheeks. "You told me you loved me, but you’re still keeping her in the dark. Did she leave you when your world was burning down? Is that why you're lik

  • The Billionaire's Irresistible Touch   Chapter 73

    SIENNA’S POVKieran looked down at me, his eyes darting frantically across my face as if he were still looking for an exit from his own mind. Suddenly, he shut them so tight his lashes trembled.He parted his lips to speak, his chest still heaving, but I didn't let him. I raised my finger and pressed it gently against his lips to silence him."Shh," I whispered, my gaze locked on his. "Your hand."He hesitated for a heartbeat, his breath hitching against my finger. Then, slowly—painfully slowly—he stretched his arm toward me.His hand was shaking, the blood still slick and warm as it pooled in his palm. I reached out and took his wrist, my touch light and steady. I could feel his pulse thrumming like a trapped bird against my thumb.As I began to wipe away the crimson streaks with a damp cloth, I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. Thankfully, the cut wasn’t that deep. It was long, and it had bled enough to look scary in the hallway, but it was a clean slice that wouldn

  • The Billionaire's Irresistible Touch   Chapter 72

    SIENNA’S POV Kieran’s grip was firm, but his steps were hurried, as if he couldn't wait to get us behind a closed door. I just kept staring at him, watching the sharp line of his jaw and the way he completely ignored the world around us.As we reached the corner of the hallway to head toward the stairs, a young housemaid came rushing out from one of the side rooms. She was carrying a stack of fresh linens and didn't see us coming."Oh!" she gasped, her shoulder accidentally brushing against Kieran’s arm as she tried to stop.Kieran’s reaction was violent. He jerked his arm back so hard that he slammed into a large, gold-framed picture on the wall. The glass shattered instantly, hitting the floor with a deafening crash that echoed through the hall.The jolt was so sudden that his fingers snapped open. His grip on my hand loosened and fell away.He stayed pinned against the wall, his chest heaving with heavy, ragged breaths. His expression shifted instantly—it wasn't just shock; it was

  • The Billionaire's Irresistible Touch   Chapter 71

    SIENNA’S POVChloe was just staring at a crack in the floor tiles, her hand still locked onto mine like a vise."Okay, Chloe," Elena said, coming back in with a tray of vials. "We’re going to start the collection now. Sienna, you stay right there."Chloe’s hand tightened around mine so hard her nails dug into my skin. I didn't move. I just watched her stare at a random spot on the wall, her face going totally blank like she was trying to be somewhere else.Then my phone buzzed again.I didn't even have to look at the screen to know it was Kieran. I felt a wave of guilt so sharp it actually made me dizzy. He was back at the house, probably hovering by the window, worried about me having "cramps" while I was sitting here witnessing the worst moment of his niece’s life."I have to step out for just a second," I whispered to Chloe. "I’m not leaving the building. I’m just going to the hall to make sure your uncle doesn't come looking for us. Okay?"She looked at me, her eyes wide with pan
