CAPTIVATED BY THE SEDUCTIVE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 31
...GENEVIEVE I sat in the middle of Isabella’s living room, surrounded by an array of bridal magazines, fabric swatches, and checklists. The soft hum of city life filtered in through the large windows, but inside, everything felt quiet and intimate. It was the eve of my wedding, and while the reality of it hadn’t fully sunk in, I was determined to see it through. Tomorrow, I would marry Jack in a private ceremony, away from prying eyes, away from the chaos that had been swirling around my life for far too long.Isabella’s apartment was warm and inviting, the smell of lavender candles filling the air. My sister Janice and Amelia were there too, sitting on the plush couches with glasses of wine in hand. Despite the normalcy of the scene, there was a palpable tension hanging in the air—one that I couldn’t quite shake off. Isabella, ever the observant one, glanced over at Genevieve, her brows knitting together in concern. “You okay?” she asked, her voice gentle but probing.I off

...GENEVIEVE I stood in front of a full-length mirror, my breath catching as I gazed at my reflection. The bridal gown I wore was breathtaking—a masterpiece of delicate lace and satin, with a fitted bodice that flowed into a billowing skirt. The veil cascaded down my back like a waterfall of gossamer, and a jeweled tiara glistened atop my dark, curled hair. I looked every bit the part of a bride, but there was a deep unease in my eyes.Isabella, my best friend, adjusted the veil and smiled brightly. "You look stunning, Gen. Jack is going to lose his mind when he sees you."Beside me, Janice and Amelia nodded in agreement. Janice, ever the perfectionist, fussed over the train of the dress, making sure every fold was in place. "Perfect," she murmured. "Everything is perfect."But my mind was elsewhere. I had been trying to contact Jack for the past hour, but every call went straight to voicemail. A gnawing dread twisted my stomach, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that somethin

...GENEVIEVE I sank down onto the grass in front of the grave, my white dress billowing out around me. I hadn’t bothered to bring a coat, and the chill seeped into my skin, but I didn’t care. I had been sitting there for more than two hours now, lost in thought and memories, the cold earth grounding me as my mind spiraled.I sighed deeply, my breath coming out in a visible puff in the cool air. “Mama,” I began, my voice barely a whisper, trembling with the weight of everything I had been holding inside. “I’ve been fighting so hard… for everything. For you. For me. I’m so tired, Mama.”My voice broke on the last word, a crack in the dam that had been holding back a sea of grief and frustration.I told my mother everything—how I was fighting my stepmother, Rosalind, and my conniving stepsisters, Olivia and Emma. I spoke of their constant manipulation, the way they tried to undermine me at every turn, and how I was determined to bring them down. I was tired of being the pawn in

...GENEVIEVE I stirred, my body shifting beneath the warmth of soft blankets. My eyelids fluttered open, my vision hazy as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. I blinked a few times, my eyes adjusting to the dim light filtering through heavy curtains, and I realized immediately that I was not where I was supposed to be. This room was unfamiliar—larger than mine, with dark, richly painted walls, and a tall window covered by thick drapes that kept the room cloaked in shadows.I sat up abruptly, and the sudden movement made my head spin. I groaned softly, pressing a hand to my temple, trying to steady myself as the room seemed to tilt slightly around me. As my senses slowly cleared, my eyes fell on the figure sitting on a couch at the end of the bed, and I stiffened.Roman was there, leaning back with one leg crossed over the other, his gaze locked intently on me. His eyes were dark, unreadable, as they studied me, a smirk playing at the corners of his lips. He looked calm, a

...GENEVIEVE I stepped out of the room, my steps slow and deliberate. The walls were adorned with gilded portraits, tapestries, and opulent antiques, and I took a deep breath, realizing where I was: Roman’s mansion—the infamous Blackwell mansion. The realization settled over me like a shroud, heavy but oddly invigorating. My heels clicked against the polished marble floor as I descended the grand staircase, my gaze scanning the space with a mixture of curiosity and defiance.At the bottom of the stairs stood a regal older woman with cold, piercing eyes—Roman’s grandmother. Her posture was straight, and her face was set in a hardened scowl. I paused for a moment, meeting the older woman’s eyes with an unreadable expression of my own. The tension between us was thick, almost palpable. She was not happy to see me. “You,” the grandmother spat out, her voice dripping with disdain. “You think you can waltz into this family, marry my grandson, and play the lady of the manor? You ar

...GENEVIEVE My father leaned back in his chair, his expression tight with contemplation. He picked up his phone and pressed a button. "Bring Janice to my office," he instructed his assistant. The tension in the room was palpable; no one dared speak as they waited.Janice had reached to the company at father’s orders. Moments later, the door opened, and Janice stepped in. Her eyes flitted from Olivia to Rosalind, sensing the storm that had already passed through. Olivia, still fuming, shot her a look of resentment, while Rosalind’s face was a mask of thinly veiled frustration. "Janice," Our father said, his voice low and firm, "please come in. I need to speak with you and your sister privately."Olivia opened her mouth to protest, but Rosalind placed a hand on her arm, giving a tight, knowing nod. "Come on, Olivia," Rosalind said, her voice clipped. "Let them have their little family discussion." She shot me a final glare before turning on her heel, and Olivia reluctant

...GENEVIEVE I leaned back in my father's chair, the leather cool against my skin. I could feel the weight of the room, the years of power and authority it had held, now resting in my hands. I allowed myself a small smile as I gazed around the office, filled with dark wood and the scent of old books. It felt both alien and familiar — like stepping into a role I had always known was mine but had never been allowed to claim.The sudden sound of applause broke the silence. Janice, standing near the door, clapped enthusiastically, a broad grin spreading across my face. "Finally!" She exclaimed, her voice full of warmth and pride. I couldn't help but smile in response. My sister stepped closer, eyes sparkling with triumph. "Congratulations, Genevieve. It’s about time we got back what’s rightfully ours," she said. The words were filled with a mixture of satisfaction and caution. Her tone softened as she added, "But don’t forget about Olivia and Rosalind. They won’t take this lyi

...GENEVIEVE I walked into Roman’s mansion, my heels clicking against the marble floor, my expression calm but my mind spinning with thoughts. The mansion was grand, with high ceilings and elaborate chandeliers that cast a golden glow over everything. The air was filled with the scent of fresh flowers, and the faint murmur of conversation came from the living room.Roman walked beside me, his presence commanding as always, his jaw set in that familiar, determined way that made it clear he was prepared for whatever lay ahead. I felt a tension in the air as we entered the room where Roman’s grandmother sat, her posture straight, eyes sharp as a hawk’s.Arthur, Xavier, and Gabriel were also there, lounging comfortably on the plush sofas. Arthur’s face lit up as soon as he saw me, a charming smile spreading across his face. “Genevieve,” he greeted warmly, standing up and extending a hand as if to welcome me. I managed a polite smile in return, my eyes flickering between Arthur an
