Mia sits in the corner of the student lounge, her sketchpad open but untouched. Around her, the chatter and the clinking of coffee cups create a muffled background noise. The vibrant energy of the fashion academy, usually her sanctuary, feels oppressive today. She’s been fidgeting with her phone for the past twenty minutes, unlocking and locking it, scrolling through contacts only to close the screen again.

“Just do it,” she whispers to herself, running a hand through her perfectly styled hair. Her leg bounces nervously under the table. Finally, she curses under her breath, shoving her phone onto the table. “Fuck it. I’ll call.”

Her fingers hover over Osborne’s name for a split second before she presses it. The dial tone hums in her ear, each ring stretching longer than the last. When he finally picks up, her breath catches.

“Mia,” he says, his tone impatient, as if he's just tolerating the call.

“Hey,” she starts, her voice a little too cheerful. She swallows hard, forcing hers

    Stepping out of her car in the early hours of the morning, the city is just beginning to stir. Sienna pulls her coat tighter around her as her assistant, Courtney, falls into step beside her, tablet in hand and a determined look on her face. As Courtney and Sienna continue to work together, their collaboration is seamless. Courtney's diligence and strong work ethic make it easy for Sienna to appreciate her. With each passing day, their partnership feels more and more natural, like they've been working together for years, not just a short time.“The court order is finalized. We’ve got the hospital on alert, and the guards briefed—though I’m sure Aurora’s men won’t back down easily,” Courtney says, her tone brisk.“They never do,” Sienna replies, her voice steady, though her fingers curl tightly around the rolled-up document in her hand. She keeps her gaze ahead, her heels clicking sharply against the pavement as they approach the hospital doors. Since Aurora shut her out from visiti

    Sienna doesn’t wait for permission to enter. The door to Aurora’s office slams open, hitting the wall with a force that sends papers fluttering off a nearby desk. Aurora doesn’t flinch. She remains in the corner of her office, stretched out on a yoga mat, her body arched in a perfect pose, exhaling calmly as if the chaos has no bearing on her serene bubble.“You witch! Where did you move Stark to?” Sienna demands, her voice sharp, her chest heaving.Aurora lowers herself gracefully, her breathing measured as she folds into a seated position. Her long lashes flutter as she takes her time turning to face Sienna. One hand rests casually on her hip; the other outstretched in a practised, almost theatrical manner."I see how mannerless you’ve grown," Aurora says, her tone silky with condescension. "This is my fault. I should’ve tamed you years ago, just like I did your mother when I had the chance."The words hit Sienna like a slap, and she doesn’t bother hiding her reaction. Her jaw clenc

    Courtney’s voice is the first thing she hears, faint but growing clearer, pulling Sienna from the suffocating dark. Her chest feels constricted, each breath shallow and strained, but Courtney’s voice pulls her back, firm and reassuring. “Stay with me, Sienna. Breathe.” There’s pressure on her chest—a rhythmic push and release—and then the rasp of plastic against her lips. “Deep breath, okay? Inhale now,” Courtney urges, the inhaler poised and ready. A short burst of medicine follows, cool and sharp, slipping into her lungs. Courtney steadies her head, her hand firm but gentle beneath her chin. "Hold it. That’s it. Just hold it a second." Sienna’s chest trembles as she tries to comply, her body aching for air. Courtney counts under her breath, helping Sienna relax. “And exhale. Slow. Good, we’ll do another one. Here we go.” The process repeats, mechanical and intimate, until the fog lifts just enough for Sienna to sit up. Her limbs feel heavy, and her vision is unsteady, but

    The only sound is the occasional soft creak of the wheel as Vox adjusts his grip, a subtle reminder that they're still moving forward. Sienna's mind, however, is stuck in neutral, mired in a tangled web of guilt, longing, and apprehension. She knows she's making a mistake, that she should be fleeing in the opposite direction, putting as much distance as possible between herself and the danger that is Noah King. But her heart refuses to listen, its own compass needle fixed unwaveringly on him. Tonight, she's helpless to resist its pull.When the gates to the estate swing open, she feels a pang of regret, but it’s too late now. The sprawling mansion looms ahead, its windows glowing faintly against the darkened sky. As the car comes to a stop, she hesitates for just a moment before stepping out.The front door opens before she can knock, and two maids greet her with a slight bow. Their faces are warm. Sienna forces a smile and waves, though her chest feels like it’s being squeezed. She

    The day of the Paris Art Academy Speech and Art Auction arrives far too quickly for Sienna’s liking. Time feels as though it’s been speeding up, dragging her toward this moment whether she’s ready or not. Now, here she is, leaning into the glow of the mirror in her dressing room, trying to steady her hands. The faint scent of sunflowers from the bouquet Noah brought earlier lingers in the air. She brushes a shimmer over her eyelids, pausing to check her reflection yet again. “Noah?” she calls out, glancing toward the door. “Are you sure this looks okay?” She’s lost count of how many times she’s asked, but her voice carries the same thread of uncertainty. “You’re more than okay,” he answers, his tone casual but firm. “You’re breathtaking.” She turns to find him leaning against the doorframe, his dark suit perfectly tailored, the kind of effortless elegance only he can pull off. It’s not just how he looks—it’s the way he watches her, his expression steady and warm, like she’s

    The crowd erupts into thunderous applause as Sienna steps is still the stage, the sound like a rolling wave crashing over her. The lights are bright, and though they obscure most of the audience, she knows they’re out there—hundreds of eyes fixed on her, waiting. Her heart thuds against her ribs, her pulse erratic. Noah is still watching her. He sees it immediately—the uneasiness in her shoulders, the slight quiver in her hand where it grips the podium. His gaze softens, and he mouths, “You can do this.” Then he flashes her a thumbs-up, the boyish grin that only she ever gets to see, and follows it with an exaggerated gesture of blowing kisses. Sienna’s lips twitch despite herself. The anxiety in her chest loosens, just a little. She exhales, her focus narrowing until the noise around her becomes distant. Clearing her throat, she raises her hand, and the room gradually quiets, the buzz of chatter dissolving into expectant silence. She leans into the microphone, her voice comes a

    The night continues to bubble. Soft laughter and the occasional click of champagne glasses with a slow musical playing in the background. Sienna watches the crowd from a distance, with a blend of pride and nerves. This moment should feel triumphant, but here she is, uneasy because Oliver reappeared out of nowhere.Oliver’s frame is leaner, his hair tousled with an almost careless air, but his eyes—earnest and searching—haven’t changed. “What... what are you doing here?” she finally asks him. He steps closer, his hands tucked into his pockets. “I heard about the exhibition. I couldn’t miss this.” His gaze sweeps over the room, focusing on one of her more striking canvases. “You’ve done something incredible here, Sienna. I’m so happy for you.” The sincerity in his tone reminds her of his amazing nature, but something about his presence feels unfinished, unspoken. She folds her arms. “Happy for me? Oliver, you vanished. Without a word. After everything you talked about—your plans, y

"Sienna, Noah wanted to keep it a surprise. You know, for dramatic effect."Noah rolls his eyes good-naturedly. "Ethan, you're such a drama queen. Tell me how it's still a surprise when you've announced it.""Come on, man. It's the thought that counts," he says, walking toward the exit again. All three follow behind, getting into the awaiting car.The car ride is quieter than anyone expects. Sienna leans back against the seat, her head resting lightly against the window, the cool glass on her. Exhaustion is creeping in now—the kind that settles deep in your bones after a day where emotions ran high. And yet, her mind refuses to stop racing. Oliver’s words won’t leave her alone.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S DANGEROUS GAME    CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED-FIFTY-FOUR: THE END.

    The King's estate is alive with music and laughter. Fairy lights dangle like tiny stars from every tree in the sprawling backyard. A small crowd has gathered to celebrate the arrival of Noah and Sienna's twins. The theme is unmistakable—soft blues for their son and delicate pinks for their daughter. Silk ribbons in both colors wrap around the columns of the grand patio, and tables are adorned with matching floral arrangements—roses, peonies, and hydrangeas carefully placed in crystal vases. A lavish archway stands at the center of the yard, crafted from intertwined blue and pink roses, where the naming ceremony is about to take place. Everything is perfect, elegant, yet deeply personal—just the way Noah insisted it should be. Sienna sits on a white chair beneath the arch, holding her twins, one in each arm. She’s radiant despite the exhaustion that comes with being a new mother. Her figure, still recovering, is wrapped in a simple but stunning dress of soft cream silk. Her bobbed

    Seven months later, Sienna is standing on the brink of what feels like an emotional cliff, one that’s littered with equal parts joy and sheer panic. She’s not exactly sure how she’s made it this far, but somehow, she’s here—carrying twins, something that still doesn’t quite feel real. Despite the overwhelming support from Noah, his mother, and all the other people around her, there’s something deeply personal about these moments. They’re hers, and hers alone. But today, she’s about to share this experience with Noah in a way she never expected. Mrs. King had been a frequent visitor, popping by to help Sienna with anything and everything. From checking on her health to making sure she was eating properly, Mrs. King always knew how to show up and make Sienna feel cared for. It was more than just maternal instinct—it was love, pure and simple. Everyone showed her love and support, and Sienna was starting to feel more like a mother than she ever thought she could be. But today—today was

    Sienna wakes up to the gentle caress of dawn’s light peeking through the curtains, her body swaddled in the luxurious silk sheets that seem to whisper sweet nothings to her skin. As she stretches, the soft fabric rustles, releasing the faint scent of Noah’s cologne, which lingers on the pillows beside her like a gentle reminder of his presence.She lies there for a moment, savoring the peaceful atmosphere, her mind wrapped in the serenity of the morning.But as the minutes tick by, the weight of her responsibilities begins to creep into her consciousness, gently tugging at her mind like a persistent whisper. With a soft sigh, Sienna kicks off the covers and swings her legs over the side of the bed, her feet dangling in the air as she sits up.The bathroom beckons, and she rises from the bed, padding softly across the floor. As she passes by the mirror, she catches a glimpse of herself, her bobbed hair mussed from sleep, her eyes still heavy with the remnants of slumber.Noah had alrea

    Ibiza had been a place of healing and renewal for Sienna and Noah, where they deepened their love and rediscovered each other. It was there that Noah proposed to Sienna once more, this time determined to give her the proper wedding they both deserved. Without hesitation, she said yes. Mrs. King had been overjoyed when they shared the news, eagerly announcing that she would invite all her favorite people to celebrate. And now, here they were, bringing that dream to life in Washington, D.C.Sienna couldn’t quite keep her hands steady as Mrs. King led her down the aisle. The older woman’s touch was warm, her arm a steadying anchor against the whirlwind of emotions crashing inside her. Mrs. King had offered to walk her without hesitation, and though Sienna had been reluctant at first, now she was grateful. With every step, she felt the weight of the moment settles in, the sheer magnitude of what lay ahead. The aisle stretched endlessly, a glistening path of white framed by cascading f

    Sienna stands in front of the mirror, running her hands over the fabric of her black gown, a simple piece, knee-length, hugging her curves just enough to make her feel... seen. Not in the way she used to, when the world felt distant, but in a way that feels like she's finally back. She can almost feel herself, the woman she once was before all the chaos and the pain. She’s still her, but somehow more whole.She pulls her hair back into a ponytail, smoothing down any stray strands, and as she catches her reflection, she can’t help but smile. It’s a quiet smile, almost foreign, but it feels right. She’s not broken anymore. She’s healing, piece by piece. She’s getting closer to the woman she wants to be, and maybe, just maybe, she’s starting to accept that she deserves to feel it.The door creaks open behind her, and she doesn’t need to turn around to know who it is. She feels his presence the second he enters. It’s like the room shifts, the air thickening with his energy, his magnetism.

    The jet lands smoothly on the private runway, the scent of saltwater faint in the air as the engines wind down. Sienna steps into the aisle, stretching and shaking off the remnants of her nap. Her bare feet are cold against the polished floor, but her focus is on Noah, who stands ahead, adjusting the sleeves of his clothes. He glances back, offering her his hand. “Ready?” he asks, his voice low, steady. “For Ibiza? Always,” she replies, slipping her hand into his as they descend the steps. But as they approach the tarmac, her steps falter. Standing at the base of the stairs, holding a vibrant bouquet of sunflowers and white roses, is a woman whose presence Sienna never imagined seeing here—Noah’s mother. Sienna’s smile freezes, her expression a polite mask even as her stomach knots. Leaning toward Noah, she whispers, “What’s your mother doing here?” The words come out light, almost playful, but there’s no hiding the tension in her voice. “She’s here to meet us,” Noah repli

    Sunlight spills through the floor-to-ceiling windows of their bedroom, golden and warm, bathing the space in a serene glow. Noah King stretches lazily, the sheets pooling around his hips as his toned body catches the morning light. Sienna, lying on her side, watches him, her lips twitching into a grin. Even after a week of marriage, her attraction to him hasn’t dulled; it’s only grown sharper. “What will we do today?” she asks, her voice soft but curious, as though the day holds endless possibilities. Noah turns to face her, a sly smile curving his lips. “That depends. Are you planning to wake me up the same way tomorrow?” She laughs, her cheeks heating at the memory of this morning’s intimate wake-up call. “Maybe.” His golden eyes gleam mischievously as he swings his legs out of bed, pulling on a pair of well-worn jeans. The domestic ease of the moment makes Sienna’s chest ache in the best way. “We should pack,” he announces, fastening the button on his jeans. “Pack?” She

    “Oh, my world, YES!” Sienna screams, coming before he’s halfway in. “Noah!” The fullness sends her over the brink. “Uhn! Feel you!” He shoves home, ripping another scream from her. And again. “You would’ve stolen my cum, just like that.” She writhes in her bonds as her orgasm consumes her, numbing her mind. . . . Once she finally falls limp, he bites out, “More?” His muscles quake against her. How badly he must need to come! “Yes!” she gasps. “I will always give you more.” He draws back his hips and grips her around the waist, widening his stance. He’s readying. She fidgets in her bindings. He looks like he’s about to ravage her, and there’s nothing she can do but take it. “Um, Noah—” He yanks her back along his cock while his body rams forward. He yells; she moans from the impact. His position, her position . . . she feels like a sexual plaything. "Maybe I have been missing out on so much," she thinks because the idea puts her right back on the brink. “Your body nee

    Noah leads her further into the bedroom and pulls a remote control from his jeans pocket. With the press of a button, all the windows turn to mirrors. “It’s a type of smart glass,” he explains. “For full privacy when we have guests.” Sienna's mouth drops open, surprise etched on her face. "How did this get here?""I've always had this room waiting," Noah reveals, "waiting for the right time for us to explore it together. Sadly, you left before that could happen."Fascination and anxiousness swirl in her eyes. She's captivated by the mystery of this secret space. How did he envision such a place? What purpose did he intend it to serve? She tilts her head in admiration. “You do think of everything.” “It gets better.” He pushes another button, and the mirrors shift to screens, displaying the bed from multiple angles—even from above. “There are cameras in the bedroom?” she asks, her voice catching with a mix of shock and excitement. Sienna's gaze narrows, her mind racing. "You sa
