Accidentally Contracted To The Billionaire CEO Chapter 159
Brielle's POV The door's soft click is followed by my own softer “oh”, a tiny expulsion of air as I realize, belatedly, that Andrei's jacket is still slung over my arm. I'm pondering this lapse when Mom materializes on the stairs, a vision in red satin. Guess my internal clock was off – I could've sworn she'd be dreaming of entrepreneurial summits by now. “Bri, there you are.” Her hands glide along the railing, guiding her steps. “A phone call would have sufficed, but I didn't want to interrupt... whatever was going on with you and Andrei.” She seems curious, making me a bit uneasy, and I wonder what she might have guessed – or misguessed. “Dad?” I ask hastily, eager to steer the conversation toward a safer subject, one that doesn’t threaten to puncture the delicate bubble of emotions I’m trying to hold together. “Your dad's conked out. You know how he transforms into a grizzly bear in hibernation mode when exhaustion strikes – nothing can rouse him, not even a hurricane

Andrei's POV “Are you with me or against me, Odessa? Will you stab me in the back when I'm not looking?” Cat's got her tongue… and I've got the images with her signature on them. Let's see how long she can keep up the charade. No words necessary. I'm too busy deciphering the hieroglyphics of her face… She's got a world of pain inside I realize, her laughter a thin veil hiding a deeper wound. We’ve all got our scars, our pasts—Odessa is no exception. And while I don’t know the gritty details of her story, I know that whatever it is, it’s written on her, bold, permanent. "Know what's more likely to happen, Andrei?" she asks. "Me tripping and falling on my own sword than stabbing you in the back." A deep breath, in and out, steadies me. I return with two cups of coffee, and we dive into easy conversation. Odessa and I settle in for what might just be a little less “interrogation” and a little more “impromptu therapy session”—not that I’m about to admit that to myself. We s

Andrei's POV “I'm dead serious, Paul. I'm asking you because I need a second pair of eyes on this. Maybe you'll catch something I'm missing. Help me out. Give me your gut instinct.” Paul’s eyes shift to the left, then to the right, “Well. I’ll put it this way—if Odessa told me she was baking a cake, and it tasted good, I’d still check for poison. If she said it was sunny outside, I’d still look for storm clouds and if she told me she was going to buy me a beer, I’d still count my fingers after shaking her hand. That’s all I’m saying.” I cock my head to the side, "Just doing your usual verbal gymnastics to avoid giving me a straight answer, Paul." He smiles, "She's a unique snowflake, boss. I'll give her that, and technically, You've spent more time with her than I have" Paul's not wrong. I've been riding this wild Odessa train way longer than he has. If there's a forked tongue behind her Bambi eyes… I'm better off knowing than he is. “Monitor my sanity.” I tell him. “If I start

Jeremy's POV. I light a cigarette, fighting the urge to grab Odessa by the throat. “You're in bed with that son of a bitch, aren't you? You're working with brother.” I watch as her eyes slightly go wide. She sucks in a breath so deep, I think she’s gonna pass out. Then, she shakes her head at me. “No. I’m pretty damn sure you’re playing for the other team, so let’s cut the crap. Which side are you on?” “My side has been yours… since day one.” I pull out my gun from the drawer. Patience isn't my strong suit. That's the fundamental difference between my brother and me: while Andrei's a saint, I'm the devil with a deadline. Odessa, on the other hand, looks unafraid, trying to tough it out. Typical witch, all bravado, and mystery. I'd caught her off guard back there; for a split second, her mask had slipped. Beneath all that witchy bluster, she's just a softie who's been caught… and isn't exactly thrilled about it. “Seems my brother worked his charm on you. I'm well aware of Andre

Brielle's POV Coffee. My savior. I stumble to the kitchen, brew a cup, and chug it down. Now I'm human, sort of. I scroll through my phone, check my schedule, and see that I've got an appointment with Dr. Lane later. Ivy's been trying to reach me, but I've been conveniently unavailable. For a reason. I'm not investing in her therapist fan fiction. I've got a real-life storyline with Andrei, and that's where my focus stays. Pope Moonlight on the pole? Just a little satire, don't @ me. The Pope's got enough on his plate, saving souls and whatnot. And Dr. Lane? He's an island of calm, not a stormy sea of scandal. Ivy's just casting her own wild net of imagination over the poor guy who's nose-deep in his notes, trying to decipher whatever scribbles are in there. Dr. Lane’s focus shifts, back to me. “You and Andrei. I’d like to know how things are going between you two. Are you getting along, or is there friction?” “We're fine. Just…coexisting, I guess.

Brielle's POV The Aston Martin Vantage is parked curbside That glossy blue paint job is pure perfection. And there’s Andrei, his lean frame propped against the car like he’s auditioning for a part in ‘The Fast and the Furious: Therapy Drift.’ His effortless charm is on full display as he lounges against the car… Why, do I feel like a gas station hotdog next to his caviar-and-dom-perignon charm? That’s right, I’m feeling like a greasy, no-frills piece of road trip sustenance compared to his gourmet level of sophistication and style. He’s the Maserati, and I’m the beat-up Honda Civic from the 90s. “Took you longer than I expected.” With I calming breath I query, “No heads-up, huh? Why's that?” “Seriously, Brielle? You're asking me why?” “Didn't you send me a text asking about my therapist choice?” The passenger door swings open, and he steps back, his eyes never leaving the horizon. He's not even bothering to look at me, just stands there, holding the door. I'm thinkin

Brielle's POV “What's going to happen?” I ask. A simple query, yet one that stirs my heart to frantic rhythms. A faint sneer ghosts Andrei's lips as opens the car and steps out into the night air. I follow suit, Why? Because I'm dying to know what's gonna happen. The glint in his beautiful brown eyes is unmistakable, as mischievous as a raccoon raiding a trashcan, “A war is coming, Brielle. A category 15 hurricane that's gonna rip our families apart. We're talking Corleones vs. Tattaglias, but instead of just guns and money, it's gonna be secrets and lies that kill us. You know how Tony Soprano's crew thought they were above the law? Yeah, our families are about to take that to a whole new level. You ready for that?” I respond in kind, my tone tart with annoyance, while fighting the impulse to shake some sense into him." Are we reenacting The Godfather or something?

Andrei's POV Can’t bear to see Brielle cry. It tears me up inside when she’s hurting, and I don’t know what to call that feeling. It's something profound. Something so much stronger than just basic empathy or sympathy. I'd take a beating any day over seeing her hurt. “If you're willing to spend the rest of your life behind bars, Andrei, then you'd better have a plan for how I'm supposed to move on without you. How do I live without you by my side? You'd better have an answer because otherwise, I won't let you take that step.” “Jail for life? You're jumping to conclusions.” She shoots me an incredulous look. “Are you seriously gaslighting me again?” I laugh, the sound a little rough around the edges. "I'm talking forever with you, Brielle – but not the kind that involves parole officers or therapists' couches." Her head cants to one side, Her gaze skewers me, a sharp, pointed thing that demands an answer. “Andrei, do you honestly believe that talking to someone about our

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
