CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE HER TEARS, HIS CARE
NICHOLAS POVThe smell of antiseptic hit me as I entered the pristine hospital lobby. It was calm and quiet, but it did nothing to ease my nerves.I approached the reception desk, my voice firm as I asked for Dr. Lennox, the doctor who’d been handling Isabella’s recent appointments.It didn’t take long for me to find her, standing by a row of filing cabinets in her office. Dr. Lennox was a professional woman in her mid-forties, her expression calm but wary as she greeted me.“Mr. Montgomery,” she said, extending a hand. “This is unexpected.”“I’m here about my wife,” I said bluntly, not bothering with pleasantries.She gestured to the seat across from her desk, but I remained standing.“I need to know what’s wrong with her,” I continued. “She’s not herself. She’s distant, tired all the time, barely eats—”“Mr. Montgomery,” she interrupted gently, folding her hands on the desk, “I understand your concern, but I cannot disclose a patient’s medical information without their consent. It’s

ISABELLA'S POV The courthouse loomed ahead. My heels clicked against the pavement as I approached. I tightened my grip on the briefcase in my hand, containing the evidence I’d spent countless sleepless nights compiling.On the surface, I was composed. But beneath it all, my stomach churned, and the weight of anticipation clawed at my chest. Still, I couldn’t falter.This was it. My moment to expose Daniel West for everything he was—a thief, a liar, and the man who had nearly ruined me.Inside the courtroom, the atmosphere was tense. I adjusted my blazer, forcing myself to maintain the calm façade I’d perfected over the years. My heart pounded against my ribcage, but I refused to let it show. Daniel would never see me falter.When the judge called my name, I stood and walked to the stand. I swore the oath and took my seat, meeting Daniel’s gaze head-on.But then I felt it as soon as I took my seat. The weight of Nicholas' gaze. It was like a steady current, pulling at me even though

NICHOLAS POV The second hearing had gone on far longer than anticipated, and while Isabella remained as sharp and composed as ever, I could see the cracks in her armor.Her skin was pale, her lips drawn into a tight line as she sat through the arguments, her gaze unwavering but her hands clutching the edge of the table a little too tightly. She was putting up a front—one that most wouldn’t notice—but I’d spent too much time watching her not to see it.I clenched my fists, resisting the urge to interrupt and ask if she was okay. Isabella wouldn’t want that. She’d see it as me undermining her strength, and I couldn’t do that to her. Still, every passing second felt like a tug-of-war between my instinct to protect her and my respect for her independence.---The hearing finally ended, and Isabella wasted no time in gathering her things. She rose with a grace that belied the strain she was under, offering a brief nod to her lawyer before heading for the exit.I followed at a distance, my

NICHOLAS POV The sterile white walls of the hospital felt like they were closing in on me. I’d lost count of how many minutes, or maybe hours, I’d been pacing the corridor, my gaze flickering between the closed doors and the floor. My fists clenched and unclenched at my sides, the helplessness gnawing at me like a relentless predator.Dr. Lennox finally appeared, her face calm yet tired, holding a clipboard that felt heavier than it should. My heart slammed against my ribs as I strode toward her.“What’s wrong with my wife? Tell me what’s going on.”She sighed, hesitating for a moment that only made my frustration boil over.“Don’t stand there wasting time!” I snapped “She collapsed in my arms! I need answers—now!”Her lips tightened, and I could see the struggle in her eyes. “Mr. Montgomery, I think we should—”“No,” I cut her off, stepping closer “You don’t get to brush me off. Not this time. Tell me. What’s wrong with my wife?”She took a deep breath, glancing down at her clipboar

ISABELLA'S POV The drive home was unbearable. The weight of Nicholas’ silence pressed against me, heavier than the oxygen mask I’d been forced to wear hours ago. Nicholas hadn’t said a thing since the doctor had temporarily discharged me, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly I thought it might snap.I could feel his frustration radiating off him but I refused to acknowledge it.I stared out the window, counting the streetlights passing by, hoping that if I ignored him long enough, he’d drop it. But Nicholas wasn’t the type to let things slide, and I knew it was only a matter of time before the confrontation came.When we pulled up to the house, he was out of the car before I could even unbuckle my seatbelt. I didn’t get far before he was at my side, lifting me out with a gentleness that contradicted the storm brewing behind his eyes.“You don’t need to—”“Don’t argue with me, Isabella,” he snapped.I clamped my mouth shut, my exhaustion winning over my desire to protest.

ISABELLA'S POV I clenched my fists at my sides. I couldn’t let Nicholas see how much his confession had rattled me. His words echoed in my chest, threatening to tear me apart, but I forced myself to look away, avoiding the intensity in his eyes. “I don’t feel the same,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't love you, Nicholas" The lie tasted bitter on my tongue, but I swallowed it down. Nicholas didn’t respond at first. His silence was more unbearable than his anger and when I finally dared to glance at him, his expression was raw, disbelief written all over his face. “You don’t mean that. Isabella, I know you. You’re lying.”“I’m not,” I said sharply, the crack in my voice betraying me. “It’s the truth, Nicholas. Whatever you think we shared, it wasn’t real.”"It was nothing but a fling. A passing moment. Attraction, maybe. But that’s all it ever was"Nicholas’s hand trembled slightly as he lifted my chin, forcing my gaze to meet his. His eyes burned with a storm of e

The tension in the Montgomery Empire's boardroom was strong. The inheritance board sat in their polished leather chairs, each exuding authority. With them sat Victor.“For weeks now, we’ve seen a disturbing pattern,” Victor began, clasping his hands together as though he were making a benevolent appeal. “Nicholas Montgomery has been distracted. His focus is no longer on this empire. Instead, it’s... elsewhere. On personal matters.” He let the last words linger in the air.Victor’s sharp eyes scanned the room, noting the hesitant nods from a few board members. Encouraged, he pressed on “Take his wife’s condition, for example. I sympathize—truly, I do. But let’s not forget that Nicholas is a man who has built his reputation on being ruthless, unyielding, and always in control. And yet, where is that man now? The same man who couldn’t even protect the only family he has left—his wife. If he cannot keep her safe, how can we trust him to safeguard this empire?”Murmurs broke out among the

Cavendish visibly paled, the blood draining from his face as he shifted uncomfortably under Nicholas’s stare. The rest of the board fell silent.“Now, if there are no further insults to my wife, we can move on.”No one dared to respond.Nicholas leaned back in his chair, his gaze sweeping the room as silence stretched. Finally, he spoke.“I want to make one thing very clear. This is not me walking away. I am stepping down temporarily. If the lot of you think this empire is so fragile that my absence will lead to its ruin, then perhaps you should appoint someone else to manage things in the interim.”His gaze flickered toward Victor, whose jaw tightened.“I trust the Empire will endure,” Nicholas continued, “because I have ensured its foundation is unshakable. But right now, my wife needs me more than any of you do.”The room was still. Several board members exchanged uneasy glances.Victor sat stiffly, his fingers curling into fists beneath the table. Though his expression remained ne

CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE EPILOGUE
The soft rays of the morning sun filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a golden glow across the room. I stretched lazily in bed, savoring the warmth of the covers and the smell of freshly brewed coffee wafting through the air. Somewhere down the hallway, faint bursts of laughter echoed—a sound that filled my heart in ways I could never fully explain.“Mommy!” a sweet, high-pitched voice broke through the tranquility.I turned just in time to see a small blur of auburn curls barreling toward me. My daughter, Chloe, climbed onto the bed with a delighted giggle, her hazel eyes sparkling with mischief. “Mommy, Daddy’s being silly again!”Hot on her heels was her twin brother, Caleb. He shared her curls but had Nicholas’s sharp, gray eyes—the kind that seemed to see through everything. He scrambled up beside her, his grin so wide it threatened to split his face. “Mommy, Daddy said we could have pancakes with chocolate chips today!”My heart swelled as I pulled them both into my arms
CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHRISTABELLA'S REDEMPTION
ISABELLA'S POV"Now!"Nicholas' voice rang out cutting through the tension like a lifeline. Before I could process what was happening, his arms were around me, pulling me into the safety of his embrace.The gun Daniel was holding clattered to the floor as Nicholas's men, who had been pretending to work for Daniel, lunged forward. Their movements were swift like they’d been waiting for this exact moment. They tackled Daniel to the ground, pinning him there as he roared in frustration, his curses echoing through the room.Victor, always the snake, was quicker to react. His sharp eyes darted to the pile of documents he’d gathered, and in one smooth motion, he scooped them up and tried to flee from the scene until uniformed officers emerged from the shadows, guns drawn, their commanding voices booming.“Hands in the air! Drop the documents and get on the ground!”Victor froze mid-step, his face contorted with fury as he realized there was no escape. His gaze darted around, desperate for an
CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE GOING ON HIS KNEES
ISABELLA'S POV The rough hands dragged me forward, my shoes scraping against the jagged rocks. My heart thundered in my chest as I caught sight of the open expanse before me—a cliff, rocky and treacherous, with nothing but empty air beyond its edge. The chilling sound of the wind howling against the cliffs made me shudder.Then I saw him.Nicholas.He was standing at the other end of the cliff. Relief crashed into me like a wave, and tears immediately welled in my eyes."Nicholas!” I cried, my voice breaking as I tried to rush toward him but the cold barrel of a gun pressed against my temple stopped me in my tracks."Ah, ah, ah," Daniel's voice came. "Not so fast, Isabella."My breath hitched. Nicholas yelled from the other side of the cliff.“Isabella, stay where you are! Don’t move!”I froze, looking to him for reassurance.But then I took in our surroundings. There was no one else here—no police, no backup, just Nicholas on one side and Daniel, Victor, two of Daniel’s men, and me
CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE KIDNAPPED II
NICHOLAS POV "Explain to me what the fuck you mean by you didn’t come back with my wife?!” My voice thundered loudly. I stared down the group of bodyguards standing in my office, their heads bowed in shame. “Your only job was to protect her. To make sure she was safe. And now you’re standing here—without her!”"Where the fuck is my wife?!" I roared, fury blinding every bit of reasoning.The lead guard flinched but managed to stammer, “Sir, we—there was a commotion. We tried to—”“Tried?” I slammed my fist onto the desk, making it shudder under the force. “You tried? Do you have any idea who you’re dealing with? Who you were supposed to protect?!” My mind was spiraling into chaos, painting horrifying images of what could be happening to Isabella. Was she hurt? Was she terrified? My stomach churned at the thought of her crying out for me, needing me, and I wasn’t there.I pointed at one of my men, my finger trembling with rage. “Lock them up,” I barked “I don’t care how you do it. Ho
CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE KIDNAPPED
ISABELLA'S POV The grand ballroom buzzed with polite conversation, the soft clinking of glasses, and the occasional hum of excitement as bidders raised their paddles. The silent auction had brought together an array of high-profile attendees, from CEOs to philanthropists, each trying to outshine the other with their charitable contributions. I, on the other hand, didn't care much.Life has been good—better than I had ever expected after Daniel was no longer a part of it. My law firm was now soaring to unimaginable heights. Cases came pouring in and with every victory on my part, my reputation as the greatest lawyer only grew stronger.It felt surreal sometimes, standing here in my designer gown, exchanging pleasantries with people who once doubted me, envied me, or outright hated me. Yet here I was, proving them all wrong.I glanced at my phone, briefly wondering what Nicholas was up to. The thought brought a small smile to my lips. He’d encouraged me to attend this event, insistin
CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SUNSHINE
ISABELLA'S POV The moment I stepped into Starlight Haven, I was struck by how different it felt. The familiar lobby, usually bustling with quiet elegance, was now glowing with a soft, romantic light. Flowers—white lilies and lavender roses—and pictures of me, lined the path ahead, their fragrance mingling with the faint scent of candles. My heart skipped a beat as my eyes followed the illuminated trail leading toward the rooftop.I took a deep breath, gripping my clutch tightly as I ascended the staircase. Each step seemed to echo in the quiet, heightening the anticipation swirling in my chest. When I reached the top, I paused.The rooftop garden has been transformed into something out of a dream. Strings of twinkling lights crisscross above, casting a magical glow over the space. An orchestra was nestled in one corner, their instruments gleaming as they played a soft, familiar melody. The music seemed to wrap around me, pulling me forward.And then I saw him.Nicholas stood at the
CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE SURPRISE
DANIEL'S POV The guard’s voice grated against my ears as he approached my cell. “West, you’ve got a visitor.”A visitor? My heart skipped, but not from joy. Who could it be?Christabella’s face flashed in my mind and I beamed at the thought. Maybe she couldn’t resist the pull that bonded us together. Maybe, just maybe, she had come crawling back, realizing she still needed me. After all, she's head over heels for me.I rose to my feet, ignoring the ache in my bruised ribs, and followed the guard out of the cell block. My steps quickened as the thought of Christabella visiting me filled my mind.But as I stepped into the visitor's room and caught sight of the man waiting on the other side of the thick glass, my blood ran cold.Victor.That smug bastard sat there, his posture relaxed, his hands folded neatly on the table as if he owned the place. Rage bubbled up inside me.“You son of a bitch!” I roared, slamming my fists against the partition between us. The sound reverberated through
CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE PRISON SLUM
ISABELLA'S POV I opened the door to find Christabella standing there, her expression a mix of nervousness and hope. She looked different—less polished, less poised. Her hair was pulled into a loose ponytail, and she clutched a small wicker basket in her hands like it was her lifeline. “Hi,” she said softly, offering a nervous smile.I crossed my arms, narrowing my eyes. “What are you doing here, Christabella? What do you want?”She hesitated, shifting on her feet before holding the basket out to me. “I, uh... I brought this for you.”I glanced at the basket and back at her, my brow arching skeptically. “A basket of what?”Her chuckle was uneasy “Dark chocolate with raspberry. I remember it was your favorite when we were kids, so I thought...you know, it’d be a nice gift.”I couldn’t help the incredulous laugh that escaped me. “So you just came here to hand me some chocolate? What are we, five?”Her smile faltered, and her gaze dropped to the ground. She bit her lip, her grip tighten
CONVENIENT VOWS WITH THE BILLIONAIRE FAMILY.; NICHOLAS.. ALL OF THEM
ISABELLA'S POV Six Months LaterSunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, painting soft golden patterns across the room. The sound of birds chirping outside drifted in with the warm morning breeze. I blinked against the brightness, slowly stretching beneath the covers.It's been half a year since I woke up from surgery, since I felt Nicholas’s hand on mine and heard him whispered my name like I was his entire world. Since I realized that, despite everything, I was still alive.And not just alive. Thriving.I pushed the blankets off and stepped toward the window, my movements no longer hesitant or weak. The first few weeks after the transplant had been grueling. My body had fought against exhaustion, against pain, against the overwhelming weight of recovering.But Nicholas had been there for all of it. Every doctor’s appointment. Every sleepless night. Every moment of doubt when I thought I wouldn’t make it.Now, my reflection in the glass wasn't of a fragile woman barely holding
