“Oh, my God!” I peeked my head out of the window of a running SUV. I always dreamed of living on a farm full of cattle, horses, sheep and having freshly gathered eggs from the chicken coop for breakfast. “This is awesome! Marry me, Beck!”
“You didn’t just say that while you’re beside your husband.”
“Wow! This is vast.” I ignored Cenric just spanked my butt.
“200 hundred acres,” Beck said proudly. He was sitting on the passenger’s seat while he let Devin drive.
It was a fantastic trip. We chatted and played scrabbles, and I never won while my husband was on his laptop the entire trip.
Beck was full of surprises. He was kind of chatty and had won all the time when not on the clock. He was smarter than any of us, I guess.
“Nice house, bro,” Devin commented as we entered the iron-wrought gate. The two-story ranch-style house with a devoted patio came to view.
“Thanks. Been for Corbin for generations.”

CENRIC I wasn’t expecting to end a pleasant dinner like this. Marriage was not something you took lightly or for fun because there was divorce. I disagreed with how Austin pushed Beck to settle down if he was not ready for it. Maybe, I was still lucky that despite the arrangement I made, my wife was wonderful, and she was not like those women who were after my bank accounts, though sometimes, I wished she enjoyed spending. But Sadie was different. She would rather work hard for the money she earned—that DNA she never got from her father. I followed Beck to the backyard. The silver moon was full, casting a glow above us. I couldn’t remember the last time I appreciated something like this. It was ages ago when I wasn’t running a billion-dollar empire. When I was in the military, I enjoyed the outdoors, camping with Beck, Linden, and Becka’s late husband, one of my brothers, Wade. He was a good man. “Let’s head back, Beck.” He scratched his head in irritation. “I know it would come u

SADIE I missed that feeling of being free. The word free alone sounded foreign to my ears. When I rode a horse, it always felt like that. And it had been a while. Once I was on the horse, it came back to me naturally. Becka was so great despite losing a husband at a young age. She always found a way to live a life. “I always thought of what Wade would say if I kept crying and blamed somebody for losing him.” We rode along with the expansive ground. I was awed at the herd as I watched from the horse. “You have a great life with him, even just for a short time.” “Yeah. Wade was my first love. We’d been together since high school. You know, at first, your brother hated the guy you dated. That’s what happened to Wade and me, but he’d proven how serious he was about our relationship. He joined and enlisted with Beck later.” I smiled. It was a great love story, even if it ended abruptly. “Do you ever think of going out th

CENRICSince she came back from the rides with Becka, she seemed different. Carefree? Happy? “Now you’re the one who’s looking at me like that?” “How?” I looked at her. I was driving the old pickup truck of Beck but still ran like brand new. “I don’t know. Like you’re up for something.” Her smile was wicked. “Or you’re up for something, babe.” I held and squeezed her thigh. She was wearing a summer dress with western boots. “You look fantastic.” She laughed out loud. “I might have overdone this out a little.” Her smile was contagious. “You look great anyhow.” “Thanks. So what do I expect in the bar?” “Locals, beers, boys who would gawk at you as if you’re the best meat in town that I might end up getting into trouble tonight.” “Just calm your horses, cowboy. We don’t want us to get into trouble. I wanna have fun without my overprotective husband growling at me all the time. Why didn’t you invite Cas to come with us?” “I don’t growl, wife. He needs to be there in case there’s
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 48. The New Boss
SADIE I looked up at the Wollf Tower, where I’d be spending five days a week on the fifteenth floor. It was intimidating, and so were the people hired to work with me. Since this company was one of Cenric’s companies, he just became my boss. Jeez, he was already bossy enough. But this was life, and I was beyond grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I entered the premises, there were at least ten shelves, and everyone was already bustling. My heart started beating fast. “Good morning!” They scrammed to stand and chorused to greet me, “Good morning, Mrs. Wolff.” I smiled, drawing some confidence somewhere within. “Oh, please. You made me look like your grandmother. Drop the Mrs. Wollf. Just call me, Sadie.” Somehow, they relaxed. I entered my office. I couldn’t believe I had an office on my own. I wanted to kiss my husband and at the same time punch him. I didn’t have experience in this line of wor

CENRIC Our dinner turned into hot sex against the wall. It was long and tense on the road. We barely made it to the penthouse. I was dizzy, and she was panting with needs. I touched her in the car, and she was dripping wet. As soon as the door shut behind us, I fumbled to unbuckle my belt while she was unzipping her dress. I shoved my pants and boxers down my knees, and then I grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hungrily. She moaned against our mouths. My fingers dug dip in her heat while her hand wrapped around my cock, stroking me. In one swift motion, I lifted her and pressed her against the wall, her legs around my waist securely. One thrust, I was inside her. She cried against our mouths, causing me to stop abruptly. “Did I hurt you?” “It hurt a little bit because your big, but I like it. Don’t stop, please?” She was panting. “I won’t unless you stop me, babe.” I got her hot dripping wetness

SADIE Something is wrong. I can feel it. The tension building in the car was so thick it was choking me. It just reminded me that what I witnessed in the office had something to do with what was going on right now. “What’s wrong, Beck?” He barely talked to me when he sent me to the office. When Linden and Devin drove Cenric to work, I had my doubts, but I kept my mouth shut. I couldn’t take it anymore. “I will be working with Cenric until Friday.” “What? Why?” I asked, confused. “Did you two get into a fight?” “We’ll talk about this later, Sadie.” “Of course.” I nodded. I looked for Cenric as soon as I arrived at the Centh HQ. Maeve was already here for the first batch tour to The Travelers zone. “Babe?” He looked surprised. Since we woke up in the morning, I noticed something different about him. He was guarded, and it felt like he was carrying the entire universe over hi
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 51. The Billion Dollar Question
CENRIC I was an asshole—a filthy rich asshole carrying a lot of baggage. Walking away from my wife was the most idiotic and worse thing I’d done in my entire life. I was hurt and horrified after realizing I had just left her alone in the park. So much for protecting her. Instead of going back to the office, I asked to meet Beck. I wanted to make things right with him, and I couldn’t afford to lose another brother because of my impulsive decision. “What do you want?” He joined me in the bar. “I’m sorry.” I faced him. “What I’d put you through was unimaginable. I realized that now it’s not your responsibility to keep my wife safe. It’s mine, and I took it lightly. I was stupid. Honestly, I was afraid to face it. I was afraid to tell her the truth—about everything. I’m terrified to lose her if this thing goes horribly wrong. And again, a while ago, I just left her after she brought me to the park.” I looked down as g

SADIEThis son of a bitch! He thought I was still the same naive girl he married weeks ago. He might have saved me from my family, but that didn’t give him the right to ditch me whenever he wanted or take me when it felt right for him. “I came here to apologize.” He looked surprised. His dick was hard, but who cared about it right now? I was just unprepared, and it was prominent. “Well, I don’t give a crap of your damn apology. I want you to listen to me, husband. You don’t get to leave because you are pissed off of something or because a lot is going on on your plate right now. I deal with a lot of pressure every day too, but I have never treated someone terribly because I feel my world is about to be doomed. And may I remind you if in case it slips your mind. You are the one who told me that we’re in this together. Either we are, or we are not. That’s the only choice you’ve got.” His jaw was set hard. He was about to say something, but I knew what it was. “Very well then. The l

SADIE Three years later… My husband in a perfectly tailored suit was drool-worthy. In a blue military uniform, damn, my uterus just contracted. He always took my breath away, even after years of marriage. Cenric was finally called. He gripped my hand before he rose and walked to the stage to receive his award. I turned to my side to look at my guys, applauding their brother. Cenric was awarded Humanitarian of the year for his philanthropic works and considerable donations to the military. “Once a Marine, always a Marine,” he quoted. “I’m proud to have services this wonderful nation. I would always help and support my brothers in service and our people.” He looked at his award. “Thank you for recognizing my humble works.” He then found me in the audience. “Semper Fidelis.” I rose from my seat just like everyone and applauded him. His brothers in arms loved him—they admired him. So did I. I

CENRIC Jasper’splace was on a small island—a fishing community turned into a beautiful resort that could only be reached by boats. It was a summer paradise, away from crowded tourists. As we arrived at the harbor, the view from there just took my breath away. “How many women did you bring here before me?” I knew she was messing with me. I smiled. “Jealous?” “Nah. I’m always into Greek gods. You know with tan skin, hard specs, dashboard abs with long and thick—” She shrugged, making girls laugh out loud. “Long and thick what, Sadie Wollf?” I reminded her of the surname she was carrying. She shrugged again. “Hair and thighs?” I wasn’t aware the guys were also listening. They burst out laughing. Terrible things happened from my past, and my extreme decisions led me to meet my soulmate—my wife. Sadie never ceased to amaze me. My chest expanded as I realized that God always had reasons for everythin

CENRIC The jet just took off. My wife invited her friends, Maeve and Zhuri, and of course, Becka to this trip. We were supposed to be on our honeymoon, but she decided to do something before our Italy trip. I couldn’t say no to her because after last night, and I didn’t think I could defy my wife again. We were supposed to fuck our brains out, and I should have taken her warning seriously, so here we were, flying to Greece. “I apologized about last night,” I tried to talk it out, hoping it would work. She rested her head on my shoulder as she scrolled the photographs of our wedding. “I didn’t sleep with you because I was mad.” “Oh. You have—” I didn’t finish my words. “Fuck me.” She giggled. “That’s not my fault.” Her smile was wicked. Maybe she was just messing with me or something. Anyhow, I played along. After a few hours, we landed. We were picked up by my contact and drove to the pier. It was hotter this time.

SADIE “Are you nervous?” Becka asked me. I blew a shaky breath. “No. Not at all. I’m excited, unlike my first wedding. I wanted to run if there was a chance. I thought I was marrying a mafia boss.” In a few minutes, I was going to be married to the same man—the love of my life, for the second time—this time, at the back of our house. I wasn’t wearing anything extravagant like my first wedding. This time I wore a minimalist satin-wrapped wedding dress with a hat to honor my late English father, Lewis. Last week, we found out he was buried in London. We took a quick trip and visited his grave. “Are you ready?” I nodded at Austin. “Yes,” I asked him if he could walk me down the aisle. He was even glad and said yes. When the music started, I took a deep breath and walked towards my man waiting for me. He was wearing a simple beige suit and pants and a white crisp open-button shirt. He always looked breathtaking dressed or naked. Fo
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 67. The Vow
CENRIC “I came here today to marry my girl, to cherish her, to protect and respect her, and to be the faithful husband to her. I knew the first time I saw you, and you would be the woman I wanted to spend my life with. I knew you would change me to be the best version of myself. Today, I swear to you to have your back, be your number one supporter, love you faithfully, and honor what we have from today and onwards. I give you my heart, my life, and my soul.” I just watched my vow over and over again as she kept replaying it in the entertainment room. In the video, she looked so innocent as she stared at me while I read my vow. I didn’t write anything. When you were caught in that moment, you just spoke from your heart—that was what happened that day. She wiped her face again. She did that every time she played that clip. She was crying, and I didn’t know why. Did my vow touch her? Had she realized something, or had she changed her min

SADIESince I heard the news weeks ago that my father—the man I thought he was, pleaded guilty on all charges, it kept me awake at night. How wouldn’t I miss when his face was all over the news? And I felt like we had an unfinished business. And I needed that closure.I had never felt this twist in the pit of my stomach as I sat on the visiting lounge.

CENRIC “Oh, God.” She bit her lip as she tried not to scream. I told her to keep her voice down if she wanted to come. The house may be big but not soundproof. I was pushing her to her brink while my fingers were doing the job. I thrust in and out of her drenched pussy, and my tongue teased her hardening clit. I scissored my fingers into her, and she shook in pleasure. I groaned and sucked her clit, her hips shooting up. “So good,” she moaned. Her lids fluttered shut. I knew she was close. Her walls started clumping against my fingers. “Come for me, babe.” I withdrew out and then plunged in deeper and rocked her faster, hitting her g-spot. She threw her head back, her hips rocking forward before she stilled as she came so hard. She dropped her body down the bed, laying boneless with splayed limbs as her orgasm went on and on. I crawled over and covered her with my body before I took her mouth. She quickly kissed

SADIE “Which from the two?” Tanner showed us the kind of blue colors. “This one.” Cenric had already chosen my behalf, but Tanner was still waiting for my choice. “Yup. This one.” “Her eyes.” He nodded as if he was not convinced of Cenric’s choice. “Trust me, Tanner. I know my wife.” He was sitting on my desk with his arms crossed over his chest. “Ace,” he said before he left. “I’m starting to dislike that guy.” I closed the folder on my desk and eyed him. “He’s nice, and Maeve is reporting tomorrow. I sent her flowers. Anyway, do you know—” “She and Beck are dating?” “Wow! You’re updated than me.” “I pay attention to my guys.” “So, you’re not leaving this office until I agree to free my whole Saturday?” He’d been patient. Since our parking lot encounter, we had decided to stay under one roof. We slept in the same bed, but that was all. He didn’t initiate
The Billionaire's Bargain Bride 63. Awful Disguise
CENRIC You’re the best. Fuck, yeah.I kept reminding myself. I went back home after work. I didn’t bother her anymore. The more I kept my distance, the easier it was for her to figure out what she wanted in her life. It was hard. I missed her every second she was away from me. But she needed it, and that was what she got. That was two days ago. No call. No text. I didn’t even ask Devin for updates. And here I was, stalking my wife. Beck just shook his head in disappointment. “You’re losing your shit. What is in the fucking of need space you did not understand? You will still see her on Saturday, won’t you?” “She needs space, but I don’t. I want to see her, not meet her. And can’t you be a little supportive of me?” “Supportive my ass. You did this to yourself. But whatever. If she sees us, you’re gonna have to explain. Then she needs another week or two. Your trouble, man. Not mine.”
