The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 19: Turning the Tide
Nadia stepped confidently toward the center of the room, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. She stood in front of the sleek, polished table, the glow of the overhead lights reflecting off her blue business attire. Her curly hair framed her face perfectly, and her gaze was steady as she looked across the room at the assembled executives. For a moment, she allowed the silence to stretch, letting the anticipation build before she spoke."Good morning, gentlemen," she began, her voice calm and unwavering. Her tone was rich with authority, but there was warmth that made it clear she wasn’t just here to pretend. This was personal—rooted in her heart. She scanned the faces before her—Theodore, Drake, Victor, and the other business partners of Thatcher Enterprises. "My name is Nadianna Rostova. I’m the founder and director of several charitable organizations supporting children with cancer. Today, I’m here to present a project that can change the lives of thousands of childr

Nadia’s mind raced as she stepped through the polished glass doors of Thatcher Enterprises. The grandeur of the building never failed to strike her, even after weeks of stepping into its imposing structure. The sleek marble floors, modern art, and the faint scent of fresh coffee spoke of wealth, power, and influence—none of which were truly hers. Yet, she walked these halls as if they were.Yesterday’s events had left her in turmoil. Miranda’s call had been a catalyst for the storm brewing inside her.“Nadia,” Miranda had said with calm confidence, “the board has approved the children’s cancer charity initiative. It’s all yours to manage. You’ve proven your capabilities, and now it’s time to shine outside the boardroom.”Nadia had nearly dropped the phone. The charity was supposed to be nothing more than an illusion, a part of the elaborate act to establish her as a philanthropic businesswoman. But this new responsibility made it real. She felt a mixture of exhilaration and dread.She

Nadia stepped outside, inhaling the crisp morning air as she made her way to the poolside. The moment she shut the glass door behind her, she pressed a hand to her chest, feeling the rapid beat of her heart. What just happened? It was barely a kiss. A mere accident. And yet, it had sent a jolt through her entire body—one she couldn’t ignore. The reflection of the sky rippled across the pristine water, but her mind wasn’t focused on the scenery. Instead, it replayed the way Theodore had looked at her before she fled the room. That unreadable gaze. The way his voice had softened—just for a second. She groaned, burying her face in her hands. Get yourself together, Nadia. You’re here for the charity, not for… this. A sharp sound cut through the silence—the sliding of the glass door. Her body stiffened. Footsteps followed, steady and measured. A shadow loomed beside her. "You left in a hurry," Theodore said. His voice was cool. Unbothered. Nadia straightened, smoothing down her dr

The morning sun filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Theodore’s private office, casting long streaks of golden light across the sleek black marble floors. The room smelled faintly of espresso, though his own cup remained untouched beside him. His focus wasn’t on coffee. It was on the woman sitting across from him, speaking animatedly as she laid out her plans for the biggest charity event of the year. Nadia’s brows were slightly furrowed as she tapped at her laptop, eyes scanning the screen with meticulous precision. She was speaking—probably explaining something important—but Theodore wasn’t processing the words. Not because he wasn’t interested. But because he was distracted. Her voice had a way of commanding attention without demanding it. Clear. Thoughtful. The kind that made people lean in and listen. It annoyed him. Not because he found her irritating. But because he didn’t usually get distracted. Theodore Thatcher was a man who dominated boardrooms. A man

Nadia paced her hotel suite, phone pressed against her ear as she spoke with Miranda. Through the wide glass windows, the city stretched beneath her in golden hues, the early evening glow casting long shadows across the streets.“I just got out of the final meeting with the team,” Nadia said, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Everything is set for tomorrow—venue, catering, security. The auction items have been double-checked, and the VIP seating is finalized.”Miranda hummed in approval on the other end of the line. “Good. And Mr. Theodore? Has he seen the final layout?”Nadia rolled her eyes. “Yes, and surprisingly, he didn’t complain. Well, aside from his usual smug remarks, but that’s just him being him.”Miranda chuckled. “He’s a handful, isn’t he?”Nadia sighed. “You have no idea.”Though she tried to sound exasperated, there was an undeniable warmth in her voice—one that Miranda didn’t miss.“So,” Miranda started, her tone turning teasing, “are you going to admit t

The impact of the fall sent a jolt of pain up Nadia’s legs as she was shoved out of the van, her body hitting the cold concrete with a force that made her gasp. Before she could gather her bearings, rough hands grabbed her arms, yanking her upright. She struggled, but the grip was strong—unforgiving."Move," a deep voice ordered, his tone laced with irritation.Nadia clenched her jaw but obeyed, allowing herself to be dragged forward. Her mind raced, trying to map out her surroundings despite the blindfold covering her eyes. The scent of rust and damp air filled her nostrils, and the faint echoes of their footsteps told her they were inside a large, empty space.A warehouse.She could hear the sound of a metal door screeching as it was pulled shut behind her.Moments later, her blindfold was yanked off.Nadia blinked, her vision adjusting to the dim lighting. As expected, the warehouse was massive—high ceilings, thick steel beams, and barely any furniture in sight. The air felt stale,

A tense silence hung in the warehouse, thick with unspoken fear. The kidnappers were still shaken by the phone call with Theodore, but Nadia could see the hesitation in their movements. The fear in their eyes.She wasn’t going to waste this opportunity.Letting out a small, amused chuckle, she tilted her head and spoke, her voice dripping with mockery.“You guys really messed up.”One of the men snapped his head toward her. “Shut up.”But Nadia only smirked, her confidence unwavering. “Do you know what happens to people who kidnap someone like me?” She looked at them one by one, her dark eyes glinting with challenge. “My fiancé is Theodore Thatcher. A billionaire. A man with more power than you can imagine.”The men stiffened at the mention of his name.Nadia saw it—the flicker of unease, the way one of them clenched his fists.“I can already picture it,” she continued, her tone almost teasing. “All of you? Rotting in prison. And not just any prison—you’ll never get out. Not with the

The moment the gunshot rang through the warehouse, time seemed to stop. Theodore watched in horror as Nadia’s body jerked violently, her small frame crumpling to the ground. For a second, there was only silence—no laughter from the kidnappers, no sounds from the outside world—just the deafening ringing in his ears and the sight of her collapsing like a fragile doll. Then, the dark crimson of her blood spread across her chest, soaking her dress, staining the cold concrete beneath her. Theodore’s breath caught. His heart pounded erratically, a violent thud against his ribs. No. His body moved before his mind could catch up. “Nadia!” He barely registered the way the gunman stumbled backward, the fear flashing across his masked face as Theodore lunged. With a single, forceful strike, he drove his fist into the man’s stomach, knocking the air from his lungs. The kidnapper doubled over, coughing up blood, but Theodore didn’t stop. His rage was blinding, overwhelming. He grabbed the man

The night was quiet, the waves gently lapping against the shore as Nadia sat on the cool sand, arms wrapped around her knees. The moon hung high in the sky, casting its silver glow over the private island Theodore had brought her to. The air was warm, the scent of salt lingering in the breeze, but Nadia barely noticed.Footsteps crunched against the sand, steady and deliberate. She didn’t need to turn to know who it was.Theodore.Without a word, he lowered himself beside her, holding out a glass of wine. She hesitated before taking it, her fingers brushing against his for the briefest second.Nadia exhaled, swirling the liquid in her glass before bringing it to her lips. “Are there any cameras here?” she asked, her voice laced with something unreadable. “Or will I just wake up one day and find our little getaway all over social media?”Theodore looked at her, his expression unreadable. Then, to her surprise, he sighed. “No cameras.”
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 60: Between Waves
The soft hum of the jet’s engine filled the air as Nadia stared out the window, her fingers lightly pressed against the glass. The sight below was breathtaking—an island surrounded by an endless stretch of deep blue ocean, its shore lined with soft white sand and swaying palm trees. A modern glass house sat near the water, its sleek, minimalistic design blending harmoniously with nature. The yacht anchored nearby gleamed under the sunlight, and a private helipad stood at the edge of the island.It was unlike anything she had ever seen.Her heart pounded as the jet descended, the beauty of the scene making her momentarily forget the reason she was here. This wasn’t just some lavish honeymoon destination—it was secluded, untouched, and completely private.She wasn’t sure why that made her feel both exhilarated and uneasy.As the jet touched down smoothly on the helipad, Theodore was the first to rise. He unbuckled his seatbelt, grabbed his suit jack
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 59: Silent Rage
Nadia sat on the edge of the bed, folding the last piece of clothing before placing it in the suitcase. The weight in her chest was growing heavier by the second. This house—this place that had become her safe haven—was no longer going to be her home.For now, at least.She inhaled deeply, pushing away the emotions bubbling inside her. She had made peace with this arrangement when she first agreed to it. The contract was clear—she was to be Theodore’s wife in name only. She had no right to feel anything beyond that.And yet…Her fingers hovered over the fabric of her dress, a quiet sigh slipping past her lips.“You’re thinking too much.”Nadia turned her head, finding Miranda leaning against the doorway with her arms crossed. Her sharp gaze softened slightly as she observed Nadia’s hesitant expression.Nadia smiled, though it didn’t quite reach her eyes. “I just… I’m not used to being without Chris.”Miranda wal
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 58: The Fallout
The morning light filtered through the large glass windows of Sheena Valerio’s penthouse, casting a warm glow on the pristine marble floors. She sat elegantly on her white leather couch, sipping her morning coffee as she scrolled through her phone, expecting another routine day of social media updates and business news.But the moment her eyes landed on the latest headline, her fingers froze mid-scroll.“Theodore Thatcher Ties the Knot in a Private Ceremony”Her breath hitched.No.That… that couldn’t be right.With trembling hands, she tapped on the article, her heart hammering in her chest. And there it was—photo after photo of the intimate wedding that had taken place yesterday.Theodore stood at the altar in a tailored black tuxedo, looking impossibly handsome, his sharp features unreadable.And beside him—Nadia Rostova.Sheena’s stomach twisted.Nadia was breathtaking in a gown that looked
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 57: Bound Vows
Nadia stood before the full-length mirror, her breath catching as she took in her reflection. The dress was perfect—an intricate masterpiece of silk and lace, hugging her frame in all the right places. Delicate embroidery cascaded down the bodice, flowing seamlessly into the train that trailed behind her like a whispered promise. The soft ivory fabric contrasted beautifully against her skin, making her look almost ethereal.Her dark hair was styled in a graceful updo, with loose strands framing her face. A simple veil draped over her shoulders, blending into the elegance of her gown. Her makeup was light, just enough to enhance the emotions shining in her brown eyes.For a fleeting moment, she allowed herself to believe this was real. That she was truly a bride, standing on the edge of forever with the man she loved.Yes—she loved him.She could no longer deny it. Somewhere between the lies and the contract, between the cold glares and the unexpec
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 56: Bruised Fate
Theodore stood outside the house, his hands shoved into his pockets, his jaw locked in frustration. The moment he saw Nadia in the parking lot—barefoot, limping, her eyes filled with unshed tears—he knew something was wrong.And he was going to find out what.Miranda arrived a few minutes later, a tablet in hand. Without wasting time, she pulled up the CCTV footage.“I got access to the security feed from the restroom,” she said, tapping the screen. “You need to see this.”Theodore’s muscles tensed as he focused on the video.The footage showed Nadia walking into the restroom first, looking exhausted but composed. Then, seconds later, his mother entered.Leonora’s expression alone made Theodore’s blood run cold—pure contempt, her posture stiff with disgust.Then, the audio kicked in.“You really think you belong here, don’t you?” Leonora’s voice dripped with venom.Theodore’s hands clenched into fists.
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 55: Cold Confrontation
Inside Theodore’s office, laughter echoed off the sleek, modern walls. Nadia clutched her stomach, her shoulders shaking as she tried—and failed—to contain her amusement.“You—” she gasped between giggles, wiping at the corner of her eye. “You actually called me baby—in front of everyone!”Her laughter only grew louder, filling the space with a warmth that felt almost foreign in Theodore’s cold, meticulously organized world. She leaned against his desk, catching her breath, still grinning. “I mean, Theodore Thatcher—the man who barely smiles, the man who can make grown men tremble in meetings—just said baby like it was the most natural thing in the world.”Theodore, who had been leaning against his desk with his arms crossed, simply watched her. His face remained neutral, but his piercing blue eyes never left her. He wasn’t annoyed. He wasn’t even trying to defend himself. Instead, he was studying her—how her brown eyes sparkled with amusement, how her lip
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 54: Final Verdict
Silence hung in the air as Sheena struggled to respond. The confidence she had displayed at the beginning of the meeting had withered under Nadia’s sharp analysis, and everyone in the room could see it. Her fingers tightened around the edges of the document she held, flipping through the pages with increasing urgency. The rustling of paper was the only sound in the otherwise still room, a stark contrast to the eloquence she had shown just moments ago.Her throat bobbed as she swallowed hard. Her eyes darted across the printed text, searching—desperate—for an answer that simply wasn’t there.Leonora, sensing the shift in power, intervened smoothly, her voice cutting through the thick air with practiced ease.“Nadia, while I appreciate your scrutiny, I believe you may be overlooking the broader vision here.” She leaned back, exuding an aura of calm authority. “The Valerio Group has years of experience in large-scale developments. A proposal like this isn’t b
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 53: The Proposal
Nadia was seated on the couch in her temporary office when Miranda entered, her expression urgent yet composed. The older woman held a garment bag in her hands, the rich fabric inside barely visible through the opening.“We need to hurry,” Miranda announced, placing the garment bag on the desk and unzipping it. “Sheena Valerio will be presenting a business proposal at the board meeting tonight at seven. Leonora personally invited her, which means this is more than just a simple presentation. Theodore wants you there.”Nadia blinked. “Sheena Valerio?” Miranda nodded, carefully pulling out the dress. “I am sure you already know her. But, to give you a little background she's a daughter of the Valerio family—their business empire is one of the few that can stand on equal footing with the Thatchers. She’s smart, well-connected, and ambitious.”Nadia frowned, running her fingers through her hair. “And why does Theodore want me there?”Miranda
