Accidentally Contracted To The Billionaire CEO Chapter 117
Ivy's POV With a smile as wide as the city itself, I hop out of the cab, stretching my arms out to the sky and feeling the energy of the city coursing through my veins. “I made it,” I mutter to myself as I watch my cab driver peel away from the curb and disappear into the colorful chaos of New York traffic. I gather leather suitcase and matching trunk, adorned with travel stickers and scratches from countless adventures, into the gates of the Blank Slate Gallery. The space stretches out like a cathedral, high ceilings and sparse furnishing making it feel both grandiose and intimate at the same time. And get this: not a single piece of art graces these bare walls. The title of the gallery looks pretty much like the gallery itself – everywhere looks, well, blank. Like you'd expect the typical gallery activities – art installations, exhibitions, and chic gatherings – but there's nothing. On my way to the front desk, I see a cat. There's a cat, its fur a mesmerizing swirl of gray

Brielle's POV. Behind Andrei, I meet his gaze in the mirror. Glancing away from Andrei's reflection, I give myself the once-over. My blue eyes are a bit bloodshot, but my A-line bob is still looking fierce. I try to give myself a reassuring smile, but it comes out more like a wobbly grimace. “What's going on? You're not exactly subtle.” Andrei asks. He's undoing his tie, the silk slipping apart with a soft whisper. Next, he sheds his suit jacket, revealing a crisp white dress shirt. “Ivy,” I murmur, “She's a firecracker, isn't she?” “Paul's on his way to NYC, where he'll keep an eye on her. Here's hoping he's up for the task.” Ivy's not the one I'm actually worried about. There's someone else who's got me biting my nails, and it's him, Andrei. I'm no therapist, but even I know that when someone's calling out a name in their sleep, it's a big deal. Every time Andrei sleeps, it's 'Odessa, Odessa, Odessa'. It's no longer just the odd sleep talking episode; he's now forgetting t

Brielle's POV “Spare me the theatrics. Your 'I don't remember' act is an insult. We both know you recall every word, every accusation. Don't try to gaslight me. I'm not that gullible. Own up to your words, or at least, have the decency to come up with a more convincing lie.” A flicker of hurt crosses Andrei's face before his features settle into a mask of offended dignity. “The thought of me calling you a traitor is laughable, Brielle. You should know better than anyone how absurd that is. I love you, and I’d never accuse you of such a thing.” I take a deep breath, acknowledging the sting of regret. Well, Brielle, it looks like you've done it again. Opened mouth, inserted foot. Maybe next time you'll think before you speak. Then again, He's denying everything. Again. I know what I heard. I'm not crazy, and I'm not misremembering. “I don't know what else to do. I'm at my wit's end. Can we please, for the love of all things sane, just go talk to someone? A therapist, a counselor,

Andrei's POV. I've just wrapped up a productive day at the office, where Leonardo and I made significant headway on a potential merger. This strategic partnership could be the catalyst we need to bolster our market presence and restore CCI's momentum. It's the reason I'm being so cautious. My reputation has already taken a hit, and I don't want to fuel the media's narrative. Even if the world thinks I'm unhinged, I'm determined to prove them wrong – or at least, not given them any ammunition. I’m heading to meet Greg after work. Greg's an experienced private investor who's always been a valuable asset to our operations. Typically, he engages in discussions with Paul, given my demanding schedule. Paul then keeps me informed. However, Paul's current assignment in New York means I'll be meeting with Greg firsthand. Dusk is fast approaching as I pull up to the meeting spot, a secluded park nestled in the outskirts of the city. The sprawling acres of grass and trees provide a sense

Andrei's POV Traffic is a parking lot, horns are blaring, and I'm white-knuckling the steering wheel, crawling through rush-hour, when Victor's voice drops a bombshell in my earpiece.“The oil and pharmaceutical sectors of the CCI are now registered under Jeremy's name, making him the official owner.”I'm stunned, but I quickly regain my composure, “Victor, what's going on? How did Jeremy's name get linked to those companies?”“It's public knowledge now. Your brother made the announcement himself during a press conference. He's claiming ownership of the companies.”“You'd better have a good explanation for this, Victor.”“Boss, I swear to God, I’m as clueless as a tourist in the goddamn Amazon. Jeremy’s always been ambitious, but this? This goes beyond any rational thinking. It’s downright insane. Time is of the essence. If we don't contain this story, our stock will take a nosedive within hours….”This can't be happening. I negotiated Brielle's release using those companies as leve

Brielle's POV Dr. Lane's sure doesn’t fit the stereotype of the stuffy, overly serious shrink. With his jet-black hair slightly tousled, his crisp white button-up shirt casually unbuttoned at the collar, and a black leather jacket resting over his broad shoulders like an afterthought, he looks more like a… a charming outlaw than a pillar of the psychiatric community. He smiles warmly, and his dimples soften his features, “Don't mind the look of surprise… I started my day with a ride – it's my morning ritual, clears my head and gets the blood pumping… Then I got the call to fill in.” I guess the universe had other plans for me. Instead of a professional-looking woman therapist, I get the James Dean of mental health. Not exactly what I signed up for. Where's the middle-aged lady with the comfortable shoes and the soothing voice? And with that, a smile—slightly awkward, a bit forced—creeps across my face. “I guess this is a bit of a curveball.” Dr. Lane’s grin widens at my word

Ivy's POV. Fourteen days. That's how long it took me to pour my soul into a lie. After delving old art archives from the 1700s I found some pretty wild 'facts' about the painting. I took what I needed, ignored the rest, and made a replica that turned out… impressive, it's almost as convincing as the truth itself. Valtor is behind me grinning like a mischievous imp, clearly thrilled. “Ivy, Ivy, Ivy… you sneaky thing!” I feign modesty, giving him a slight curtsy. “It was a privilege to work on such a masterpiece, Sir Now, if you'll excuse me… I must prepare for our esteemed guest's arrival." “Of course, of course. Mr. Logan will be here soon. Make sure you look the part. We must give him the impression that he’s dealing with a true connoisseur of art." He gives me a casual nod before heading out. “Just be your charming self, Ivy. And, you know, maybe don't mention the whole 'forgery' thing!” My lips twitch in a manic grin, “sure thing Mr. Valtor... I live to serve.” The

Ivy's POV “Oh, Ms McCarthy, you're as transparent as a ghost in a haunted house. I'll give you a choice: either you come clean, or we play a game of 'Art Detective.' And trust me, I always get my man… or painting.” “I-I don’t know what to tell you, Valtor. I swear on my life that the painting is gone. Stolen or lost, I couldn’t say, but I’m as much in the dark as you are.” I'm forcing my voice to stay even, but my heart's racing. The door behind Valtor is locked tighter than a bank vault on Christmas Eve, and he’s got the key on him. Surely, I underestimated the situation, and I'm giving myself a solid 10/10 for sheer stupidity. Valtor's eyes narrow, his expression turning predatory. “You're playing with fire here, and I’m not afraid to burn. You know I've got more tricks up my sleeve than a magician with a gambling addiction. So, if you want to walk out of here with your skin intact, you better start singing like a canary.” He saunters over to the window, his gaze scanning t

Brielle's POV Final chapter. “Fine,” Jeremy voice cracks with restraint, the single word drawn out in a reluctant admission. I'm low-key freaking out, my heart racing with anticipation. He's just about confessing. “I'm the one who orchestrated the whole thing. I snatched Brielle's parents right from under their noses, ripping them from their picture-perfect lives. i'd kidnapped her, held her captive against her will, and drained your bank accounts. But here's the kicker, Andrei… you're too little, too late. The police are already en route, and they're coming for you, not me.” I take a deep breath, my eyes burning with determination. “No way, Jeremy. I won't let you pin Jamie's murder on Andrei. He's innocent." He narrows his gaze at me, “You know, for a hostage, you're awfully opinionated.” I sneak a peek at Andrei, and his 'I've got this' expression makes me feel like everything's gonna be okay. I mean, Jeremy's still being his usual, awful self, but with Andrei's ca

Brielle's POV “Just trying to appreciate the finer things in life, Andrei. Like that fine-ass butt.” I admit feeling my face heat up. He chuckles, clearly enjoying my unabashed admiration, “that's… Probably the most creative compliment I ever heard and the way yours fills out that robe is criminal, Brielle.” I suppress the urge to turn around. This mutual butt appreciation is getting ridiculous – or ridiculously entertaining. He scans the room, gathering his belongings. Meanwhile, I stand there, a robe-clad without any to change into or not to talk of clothings to put in a box and yesterday's clothes that are so last season — literally. Just when the silence is about to get deafening, Andrei breaks it with a casual suggestion, “you should shower first.” My mind whirs. I’m thinking, Geez, how do I break this news to him without making it super awkward?” The last thing I want is to be standing there, naked, with no clothes to put on, while he just stares at me like I’ve gon

Brielle's POV I'm deliciously spent, my senses sated. Andrei executes a brief, yet vital, wardrobe adjustment, then turns around, patting his back invitingly, “Okay, up you go.” They say “there’s a first time for everything”, and today I’m getting my inaugural piggyback ride—. Courtesy of Andrei. With the grace of a seal gliding onto an iceberg, I slide my bare rear off the table, leaving behind only a warm imprint of my departure. I wrap my arms around his neck and hold on tight as he firmly grasps my thighs, lifting me up. With his support, I hop onto his back. “Comfortable?” He asks. “Mhm, perfect.” Our journey begins with a trio of solid thuds, Andrei’s feet hitting the floorboards of the pavilion as he descends. The night air is refreshingly still and quiet… except for the sound of my nervous laughter and Andrei's steady breathing as he navigates the stairs. His usually steady gait falters, his foot catching on some unseen obstacle, and my weight threatens to send him

Brielle's POV He leans in again, His mouth hovering over my breast, “How many white lies have you told?” “One.” He pulls back, “Think again.” I knit my brow trying to focus, to pull my scattered thoughts into some semblance of order. It's a futile effort. I'm still drowning in waves of pure ecstasy. Andrei's lips close around my nipple, and I moan at the sudden sensation. He releases all too soon, again. “Two lies, baby” he purrs. “The first, when you said you never fucked yourself.” His words ignite a thrill that courses through my body, culminating in a sweet ache between my legs. “And the second when you denied ever having fantasies. Now, are you ready to confess them to me… and be rewarded?” His grip on my hand slackens, freeing my fingers to roam. He’s upon me, his mouth latching onto my nipple. Sensation overwhelm my ability to think as His tongue swirls and dances, only to pull back again, letting my nipple pop out of his mouth with a wet plop. I writhe be

Brielle's POV “I'd taken his crap before, no problem. He'd kick my ass, I'd take it. But watch him hurt a three-year-old?” That chuckle, that creepy-ass chuckle, is making my hair stand on end. Andrei's got a lot to say, needs to stop drowning in that drink and talk it out with me. Perhaps if we can get to the root of whatever’s got him so twisted, we can cut it out, get him right again. I screw up my courage, trying to keep my voice from cracking as I ask, “What happened next?” “I lost it. Charged at him and slammed him to the ground. I had him in a tight chokehold, crushing the air out of him. His face turned purple, eyes popping… Killing Archibald wasn't the plan. Just wanted to put the fear of God into him… In a wild twist, he managed to grab a blade and… Carved himself a nasty gash.” Andrei scrapes his thumb along the side of his neck, “This is where he sliced himself. Fucker cried assault. Tried to put me away for attempted murder.” “And Helen?” “Was locked up a

Brielle's POV He gives my earlobe a sneaky little nibble. Damn, if that doesn't stir up something inside me, “Why rush when the journey is half the fun, hmm? We've got lines to run, not lips to lock.” So glad Andrei's here to suck the fun out of… everything. What would I do without him? I'm two seconds away from giving him a good shove, just to knock him off his game. “What?” he asks, that infuriatingly smug smirk still slapped across his face. I purse my lips, cross my arms, “You're really asking 'what'? Like you don't know exactly what you're doing?” Andrei whips out a sheaf of papers from his back pocket, "Shall we begin?” I narrow my eyes, “You expect me to jump right into this after all your little games?” He chuckles, shrugging one shoulder in a charmingly nonchalant gesture. “It's all part of the rehearsal.” “Part of the rehearsal, huh?” I retort, “So that little earlobe nibbling number was in the script? I must have missed that memo.” He laughs," I figure

Brielle's POV My heart stutters, “What?” I try to speak. The words wouldn't come out. Not one single word is showing up to the party. Wearing a sidelong smirk, Andrei jerks his head towards the elevator, “she's been tapping her foot impatiently. Shall we give the poor thing some attention?” Nodding, I swallow my regret. Why didn't I just say something? “I'm intrigued, Brielle. This demure side of you is… unexpected.” He plunders the guest room closet, digging through piles of high-quality linens, designer clothes, and expensive accessories. it's basically a carbon copy of his own — super luxurious. I stand back, curious about what Andrei's searching for. My nerves are still on edge, which is… ridiculous. “Guess, I'll coax them out of you. Every last one.” My curiosity spikes, “How?” “All in good time. Shall we get you into something a bit more… refined?” The robe he hands me is a stunner — bold red, V-neck, and flowing long sleeves, all accented perfectly with

Brielle's POV. Drying soap bubbles speckle Andrei's hands as he meets my eyes, “What's so fascinating?” “It's your charm, Mr. Carter, that's got me in a stare.” His mouth curves into a sly, upward tilt, “You're not so bad yourself. Maybe we can stare at each other for a while and see who cracks first.” Deep down, I'm thinking, 'Seriously, Mr. Carter? Are you not seeing this ensemble?' Perhaps he's just trying to be kind? Yeah, that must be it. After completing the dishes, Andrei takes a moment to dry his hands before wandering over to where I'm sitting, his pace leisurely. I stare at his bare feet, my brain momentarily fixated on the sight. “Why no shoes, Mr. Carter?” “Walking barefoot is like a yoga practice. Builds up the balance, strengthens the soles, and gets you in touch with Mother Earth.” I raise an eyebrow, skeptical. How much of that is actually true, I wonder? He reaches out and takes my hand, pulling me gently into his orbit. And suddenly, my focus shifts from An

Brielle's POV. Andrei’s sweatpants could have fit two of me—and the kitchen sink. He’s a big guy, but these pants were made for a grizzly bear on a beer bender. If I didn’t cinch the drawstrings tight enough, I’d be wading in a sea of fabric, wearing a tent masquerading as sweatpants. I’m halfway through adjusting my shirt when I catch a glimpse of my him in the kitchen. Oh, dear lord. The man might as well be wearing oven mitts for hands. I reach for a bottle of water, partly because I’m parched, and partly to cover up the fit of giggles that’s about to erupt from my lungs “You okay, chef?” I ask, trying to keep a straight face as I watch him fumble with the spatula. “Yeah, sure Brielle.” He scratches his forehead, and I can practically see the sweat beading up. Poor baby's never looked so stressed. “Sure you've totally got this, Andrei?” I survey the chaos, raising an eyebrow at the egg-astrophe. The shells are scattered everywhere and there's a bowl of what appears to be e
