Accidentally Contracted To The Billionaire CEO Chapter 122
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. Coffee is brewing, laughter is flowing, and our morning mayhem has officially begun – we're chatting, chuckling, and generally making the most of our time together over coffee. Dad's back from his humanitarian aid trip to Africa, and we're scrambling to catch up, to rediscover our family rhythm after months apart. I lean back in my chair, my eyes drifting to his feet as he stretches out his legs. The flip-flops look out of place in our cozy suburban home. They're like a dead giveaway that he's been soaking up the African sun. Paired with his brown shorts – the perfect blend of practicality and vacation vibe – he looks like a completely different person. Gone is the suburban office drone, replaced by a chilled-out, sun-kissed humanitarian with a heart of gold. “Africa's a pretty wild detour from your usual routine of hitting up the grocery store. How’d you like it?” I ask. Dad chuckles, a grin spreading across his face like a sunrise. “Wild doesn’t even begin

Brielle's POV. Gazing at the mirror… Wow. … I'm a walking, breathing embodiment of corporate style. My pencil skirt is a streamlined, black number highlights my curves without being… overly revealing. My stilettos are a three-inch pointed toe box with a glossy finish a red sole that adds a pop of color to my outfit. I look like I just stepped out of a magazine ad for 'Successful Women Who Don’t Need No Man.' From the outside, I’m polished, professional, and put-together. But on the inside, I’m a total dumpster fire disguised as a grown-ass woman. I’m like a fancy chocolate truffle—shiny and sweet on the outside, but a melty, gooey mess on the inside. “And the award for ‘Most Uncomfortable Signing Session’ goes to…me, Brielle!” I whisper, trying to lighten the mood. “Let’s just hope the divorce papers aren’t written in blood—that would be a real b*tch to clean up.” I adjust my blouse, smoothing out any wrinkles, as if that’s going to make this whole ordeal any easier.

Brielle's POV We roll up to the Carter Estate in that sleek, silent machine of a car, and my nerves start going haywire like a bunch of ants at a picnic. Why am I this freaking nervous? It's not like I'm about to meet the Queen of England. I've handled tougher audiences – like my aunt Mildred's grilling at Thanksgiving dinner or that infamous TV conference where I accidentally swore and cursed at the journalists, including Eva Adams. Our press conference three days ago was a carefully choreographed dance, where I aimed to humanize Andrei Carter, all while preparing for the possibility that he'd announce our divorce on live TV. I couldn't help but think: This is it. This is how I die. Not from a broken heart, but from embarrassment, however, The elephant in the room remained unaddressed even though the news had already spread like wildfire. The car rolls to a stop, the sudden stillness jolting me out of my thoughts. Marcus, moves to open the door, which I take as my cue to vacat

Brielle's POV Mr. Weston, the picture of professional unease, twitches in his chair “Mr. Carter, are you sure—” “Affirmative. Revise the agreement to reflect a payout of $100 Million, effective immediately.” Suddenly, it's like time stands still. All I can hear is my ragged breathing and Mr Weston's faint intake of breath. He looks taken aback, his eyes darting uncertainly between me and Andrei. Andrei's eyes narrow slightly, his gaze intensifying as he studies me. He looks fascinated, like a scientist examining a rare specimen. “Is that what you want?” he echoes, his tone playful, almost teasing. The scoff that escapes my lips is half contempt, half exasperation. “What I want?” I repeat, my voice steelier now, “I want you to stop treating me like some sort of business venture. I’m not an employee, I’m not a shareholder, and I sure as hell am not a transaction.” Andrei's head jerks in a curt nod. Mr. Weston needs no further explanation; he scoops up his papers, rising sm

Brielle's POV I'm looking at Andrei hunting for that signature spark of trouble that ignites his eyes, ready to unleash a torrent of teasing and laughter at my expense. There’s no playfulness in his voice, no trace of that smirking smile that usually hides whatever he’s feeling. “Brielle, I've spent years negotiating contracts, but none as important as this. Will you be my wife, not just on paper, but in every way? My heart races as the truth hits me: this is real – Andrei's proposing.” “Yes,” the word just slips out, a whisper that's almost lost in the silence… I'm not even sure I said it out loud. “Yes,” I repeat, my voice stronger now, surer. “Yes, Andrei, I’ll marry you. For a fleeting instant, he's a kid on Christmas morning, beaming with excitement….it's not quite steady. His jaw muscles twitch, slightly. “We'll pretend to be apart, to make them think we've gone our separate ways. It's the only way to keep you protected, to keep them guessing and off our trail. We'l

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
