Accidentally Contracted To The Billionaire CEO Chapter 042
Andrei's POV There's loads of work at the office, but I don't spend much time there today. I grab my keys, and I'm off, very quickly. As I exit my office and stride down the corridor, Sarah’s voice echoes behind me.“Sir, you have a meeting at one o’clock,” “Cancel it.” I don't break stride as I continue on my path to the elevator. “Sir?” I pause, my jaw tightening as I consider her. She's loyal, efficient, and good at her job. But she doesn't know what I'm dealing with right now. “Cancel the meeting, Sarah,” I repeat “We'll reschedule.” She nods, a slight dip of her head that conveys her acquiescence. I’m already moving again, my focus fixed on the exit. Just as I’m about to round the corner, a flurry of footsteps alerts me to the fact that Sarah is hot on my heels. What gives? Thought I made myself clear back there? As I pivot to face for the second time, she halts in her tracks, her expression urgent, "Mr. Adams was just here, Sir." "Mr. Adams?" I echo, m

Andrei's POV Brielle's slumber is a fragile thing, her breathing steady but uncertain. And standing over her, his brow furrowed with concern, is Doctor Corey, a man whose appearance seems almost too stereotypical for the seriousness of the situation. “How's she doing?” I ask. He meets my gaze, his expression serious. “Her condition is troubling.” I take a step forward, “Troubling? What does that mean?” “The sedative should have worn off by now, but she's still showing signs of grogginess. Whatever she may have been drugged with was stronger than we initially thought.” “Stronger? What does that mean for her? Will she be okay?” “It's difficult to say with certainty. We'll need to monitor her closely and run some more tests. There's a chance that the sedative could have left some lasting effects, but it's too early to say for sure.” I take a deep breath, my gaze flitting to Brielle's sleeping form. “The blood work is underway, Mr. Carter. We should have results by tom

Brielle's POV I attempt to deflect, my words tumbling out in a sarcastic rush. "Oh, great. Because what I really need right now is you stripping down in front of me. That's exactly what'll help me focus on finding Ivy." I force a dry tone, trying to conceal the flutter in my chest. I cross my arms, adopting a defensive stance, and meet his gaze with a challenge. "This isn't helping, Andrei. We need to focus." “Liam's got his issues, but harming Ivy isn't on his radar. Trust me, I've known him long enough. The police will track her down, they're working around the clock. And if it turns out Ivy's playing both sides with Liam, she's out. They'll both be singing to the cops.” I gasp. What? No way. Andrei can't be serious. He cocks his head to the side, a wicked smile spreading across his face. “Trust me, I've done this rodeo before. I protect my business at all costs.” Ivy's in trouble… again. And honestly, I'm not surprised. She's never exactly been the poster child for selfl

Brielle's POV The tub is a sight to behold, all sleek and designer, with dancing lights and a fancy rain shower head. Andrei leans over the tub, filling it up, and then he's adding some expensive looking bath oil. The bath fills, and the oil erupts into a fluffy, pink-hued foam, releasing the juicy scent of ripe strawberries and blueberries. I hover in the doorway, my arms wrapped around myself, wary eyes scanning the scene before stepping forward, my eyes lingering on Andrei's physique, admiring him. Oh no, I'm staring. Stop staring. Why can't I stop? He's just so… put together. Unlike me, a hot mess. I take Andrei's hand, our fingers intertwining, and he pulls me in. It's electrifying, the charge between us almost tangible. My senses are on high alert, my heart racing as his hands slide down to the tie of my robe. With a gentle tug, he undoes the knot. “Release that lip, Brielle. I want to be the one biting it.” I release my lip, but my tongue darts out, moistening

Brielle's POV. I leap from the bath tub, water sloshing all over the place. Seriously, how did my mom manage to find the Carter estate? That woman's got some crazy tracking skills. Panic sets in as I scan the bathroom, unsure what I'm searching for. I spot the towel rack and react on instinct, snatching a towel and hastily wrapping it around my dripping body. Andrei's just sitting there, in bathtub, looking at me with that “what the hell's going on” expression on his face. Well, that's not gonna cut it, is it? We're in deep trouble here, and all he can do is stare at me like I'm speaking gibberish or something. The voices, muffled but still clear, continue to seep through the bathroom door and I know, I just know, that Mom's in there, arguing with Paul. She's like a pit bull, that woman, stubborn and determined as hell. I pause trying to make sense of the words. “I apologize, ma'am, but you must leave.” Mom's voice is sharp and pointed, as she fires back at Paul. “I

Brielle's POV I stare at her, my mouth agape, unable to form the words to protest. Mom's eyes seem to read my doubts, and I falter. “What?” she asks. I hesitate, unsure how much to reveal. “I don't know, Mom. This just feels sudden.” Mom's gaze doesn't waver. “We need to go, Brielle. Now.” “It's… It's you demanding that I leave. I mean,” “I'm not demanding, Brielle. I'm protecting you.” “Protecting me from what?” “From here. From him.” Paul's presence has disappeared. I'm thankful for the privacy he's afforded us. “Brielle, I'm tired. Tired of all the excuses, the lies, the evasiveness. I'm still trying to understand what's going on between you and Andrei, and why you're so unwilling to tell me the truth. Every time I ask, you give me the runaround, like there's something you're not telling me.,” “Mom, I swear I've never intentionally lied to you. I know I haven't been completely open with you, but that's because… I didn't know how to explain everything. It'

Brielle's POV “Hand it over. I want to see the contract. Every word. Every clause. And then I'm going to make sure it's destroyed. Nullified. Gone. You're not manipulating my daughter with some shady agreement.” What am I supposed to do? Mom's so mad, and I don't blame her, but Andrei's not the villain she thinks he is. Being her only daughter, she's naturally protective. I appreciate that. But sometimes, it's like she doesn't see me, doesn't see the woman I've become. “I'm not leaving this place, Andrei Carter, until that contract is shredded, and my daughter is free from your grasp. You're not controlling her life or manipulating her future. Not while I'm still breathing.” Andrei's eyes flicks to me for, a second. What's he thinking? Is he mad? Disappointed? Or is it something more? He's still not saying anything. Just standing there, all stoic. It's infuriating. Can't he see Mom's freaking out? A little reassurance would be nice. “Mom, can we step aside for a minute

Brielle's POV. “Were Edna and Helen already planning to come?” I mutter to Andrei. “Informed them I was back on my feet again. I didn't think they'd take it as an invitation.” “I'm not sure what's more embarrassing, my outfit or my hair…. I'll go change into something more suitable." I turn to walk away, but not before catching Andrei's gaze. His nod was brief, but that smirk and spark in his eye? Totally unexpected. What's he amused about? My cheeks heat up as I dart into my bedroom, feeling a surprising wave of nostalgia. Who knew I'd miss this space? I slip into a sunny yellow floral dress that falls just above my knees, towel-dry my hair, and pull it back into a neat bun. I feel refreshed and renewed. *** As the stars begin to twinkle above, the Carter estate transforms into a hub of laughter and reminiscence. A reunion party of sorts has taken over the grounds, with Edna, Helen, and Mom at its epicenter… I watch, fascinated, as they laughed and chatted like old

Andrei's POV When I look into Brielle's eyes, I see forever. This crazy, beautiful blue that just makes me feel alive. My heart's all aflutter, like a bird in a hurricane. I'm pretty sure I'm not dying or anything… although it feels like it. Must be love… or a heart attack. I'm staring into her eyes, and I swear, there's something off. A tiny ripple in the calm waters. But before I can put my finger on it, she's turning around, and She's just… walking away. No words, no nothing. Just her back, getting farther and farther away. Just what I needed to complete my evening: a healthy dose of rejection and a strong sense of self-doubt. “You're just gonna ditch me like yesterday's trash?” I ask, trying to sound cool, but really, I'm just dying inside. “One minute we're fine, the next you're walking away. What am I supposed to do? Just stand here and watch you disappear?” She hesitates, one foot on the threshold, as if unsure whether to flee or surrender. The pause is a vulnerable,

Andrei's POV Odessa's advice is simple and to the point: don't listen to Jeremy's bullshit. Don't fall for his lies. Don't take the blame for something he did. That's what she's trying to drill into my skull. If I take the rap, I'd be orchestrating a spectacular downfall — complete with a cameo appearance by the Grim Reaper, a supporting role by Regret, and a grand finale of Lifetime Imprisonment. I'm not going down that path, no way, no how. I've got a family, a legacy, a son who looks up to me like I'm some kind of superhero. And that's what I have to be, not some sacrificial lamb to appease the false gods of justice. I'm no martyr. I'm not going to roll over and play dead just to appease the system, to keep the peace. That's not who I am. Then again, The thought of Paul getting railroaded is eating away at me. His family's counting on him, and if he goes down, they'll be the ones who suffer. I'm caught in a tug-of-war between my heart and my head, with each side pulli

Andrei's POV The Carter Cabinery sits in the foothills, a haven of solitude and seclusion. It's a sprawling structure of timber and stone, its rough-hewn beams and sloping roof blending seamlessly into the forest landscape, as if it had grown there. My great-grandfather built this place with his own two hands. And my father, he added to it, made it into something more. Five years old. That's when the darkness crept in. That's when my life changed, irrevocably, forever. Mom died. Just like that. One minute she was there, the light of my world, the other half of my heartbeat, and the next…gone. Visits to the cabin were always a treat. I remember the smell of my grandfather's pipe, the way he'd tell stories of his adventures in the woods. I remember the sound of my dad's laughter, the way he'd spin me around in circles, making me dizzy with delight. It was during those idyllic summers spent here that I first met Jeremy. Dad had adopted him, but he hung out with grandpa for a

Andrei's POV. “You'd better be listening, Carter. I'm only going to say this one time_” With a swift jab of my finger, I end the call, silencing the toxic tirade that had been polluting my airwaves. The smug voice, the arrogant demands, the sickening knowledge—all of it, silenced. My feet hit the floor, my coat a blur of black as I snatch it up. I'm out the door, abandoning the suffocating atmosphere of my study. Brielle’s eyes are burning holes in my back. She’s watching me, waiting for an explanation, a sign that everything is okay. I can’t give it to her. Can’t face her, can’t look her in the eye. I'm paralyzed, unable to face the devastation I've caused. Beholding the mayhem is like seeing a wildfire rage out of control. Maybe our love's the fuel that's feeding the flames — time to starve the fire and walk away, leaving behind the only thing that’s ever made me feel alive. I hear her sobbing. It’s a knife to the heart, twisting and turning, carving out a piece of me with

Andrei's POV. I channel my inner bedtime butler, complete with a fancy tuck-and-pull motion. I give Brielle the works: extra-fluffy pillow, soothing pat on the head, and a blanket pulled up to her chin because clearly, I've been demoted to bedtime nanny. 3:59 am: the time it takes for her sleep-deprived brain to finally surrender to the sandman, leaving me to stand guard, listening to the symphony of her snores… She's out cold, a sleeping beauty with a face that's equal parts adorable and alluring. Those luscious lashes, the gentle curve of her lips, the soft tangle of her hair… The vibration in my pocket is a cold dose of reality, a reminder that the clock is ticking. I've been waiting for this call, but the unknown variables are what's got me on edge. I step into the hallway, phone glued to my ear. My eyes scan the shadows, my senses on overdrive, “I'm listening,” “Carter, you're going all-in. You're gonna transfer your assets to me. And I ain't talking pennies here. Yo

Brielle's POV Hawaii's supposed to be a relaxing vacation, for my parents, but for me, it's turning into a never-ending cycle of worry. Mom's phone keeps going straight to voicemail. No calls, no texts, no 'Aloha, darling!' selfies. It's like a full moon, a red sky at dawn, a black cat crossing your path—you just know something's up. I'm phone-stalking, waiting for her call to light up the screen… but it's just not happening. I force down the lump in my throat and head to the kitchen for a glass of water. My nerves are fried, and I'm getting the shakes. I glance at the clock, hoping to distract myself from the tremors in my hands. 3am. Still awake. Still anxious. 'Mom, Dad, just give me a sign of life. I'm starting to picture you being brainwashed by a group of coconut-wielding, hula-dancing fanatics_' My muttered curse is accompanied by a deep, frustrated breath. Andrei's voice cuts through my reverie, and I turn to see him standing in the doorway, a mixture of amusement an

Jeremy's POV Enter Jones. Don't let his age fool you – the man's a certified brainiac. He settles in, and We get down to brass tacks, discussing the details. “I'm cutting ties with Andrei for good and taking full control of the two companies I snatched from him. I'm consolidating my ownership with a vertical integration strategy, aiming for a 100% stake with zero ties to the Carter empire. I'm expecting Andrei to try rallying his allies or attempting a hostile takeover, but I'm ready. I've got my lawyer drafting a bulletproof shareholder agreement and setting up a poison pill strategy to block any takeover attempts.” The old man listens intently, demonstrating a clear grasp of the situation. He takes meticulous notes as I outline my plan. “I'll be darned, Jeremy. You're one of those 'new-fangled' thinkers, aren't ya? I swear, you're so smart, you make me feel like I just fell off the turnip truck.” A lopsided grin spreads across my face, oozing self-assurance. I've got all th

Jeremy's POV All nonsense put aside, I slam the map onto the table, “Eyes on me,” I bark, “I don’t have time for screw-ups. “ My hand jabs into the tabletop, each thrust an exclamation point to punctuate the severity of the situation. These morons can be as dumb as a box of rocks sometimes, and the effort it takes to get through to them has my temper running hotter than a desert sun. '“At 0200 hours, the target will land at the Kahului Airport, Maui. The airport is primarily a regional hub, with limited security, which should make our operation smoother than a freshly ironed aloha shirt." I inform my crew, their faces intent as they listen to my debriefing. “Our scouts will monitor the flight’s arrival, keeping a constant line of sight on the target as they exit the plane and enter their transportation. We’ll have an unmarked SUV parked nearby, with the windows blacked out to prevent recognition. The driver will be wear a chauffeur's uniform, his ID on display for anyone wh

Brielle's POV Marcus brings the car to a smooth halt, his courtesy never faltering even in the dark of night. With a gentle gesture, he opens the door, his eyes following my every step as I emerge from the car. The night air is cool and still, with only the stars and the moon to light my way. The darkness seems to swallow the surroundings, obscuring the path ahead. But I know this is an outdoor venue, a garden maybe Because it's like a perfume bomb went off — roses, jasmine, lavender… it's heavenly. My eyes are glued to this one spot in the distance, where a warm light is shining softly. There's something about it that's just so inviting… I feel myself being pulled towards it, Just as I'm transfixed, I sense someone behind me. I don't need to turn around to know it's him — Andrei. His cologne is unmistakable, it's just… him. It's familiar, comforting, exciting all at once. I'm anticipating a sweet, gentle gesture, but Andrei throws me a curveball. He wraps a blindfold arou
