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 sterile scent of antiseptics hung heavily in the hospital corridor, mingling with the palpable tension that seemed to thicken the very air. Theodore sat on a rigid plastic chair, his posture unnaturally stiff, as if any movement might shatter the fragile composure he clung to. His white dress shirt, once immaculate, was now marred by dark, rust-colored stains—a stark testament to the violence that had unfolded hours earlier. Dried blood crusted his hands, seeping into the creases of his skin, serving as a grim reminder of Nadia's lifeblood slipping away.The rhythmic ticking of the wall clock was the only sound that punctuated the oppressive silence, each second stretching into an eternity. Theodore's eyes, bloodshot and unseeing, were fixed on the double doors of the emergency room, willing them to open, to deliver news—any news—that might end this torturous limbo. His mind replayed the moment over and over—the gunshot, Nadia’s body crumpling against him, the way her blood had so

Theodore Thatcher stepped out of the sleek black car, his expression unreadable, his posture composed despite the exhaustion weighing on him. The city lights shimmered against the polished surface of his suit, reflecting the carefully constructed image he had always maintained—untouchable, unshaken, impenetrable. But tonight, it was a lie.The world moved around him—cameras flashed, voices murmured, and the grand ballroom ahead glowed like a beacon of wealth and prestige. But none of it mattered.Not really.Not when his mind was still in that hospital room.For over twenty-four hours, he hadn’t left Nadia’s side. Even now, the scent of antiseptic clung faintly to his suit, an intrusive reminder of where he had been and where he should be. He could still see her pale face against the stark white of the hospital bed, the fragile rise and fall of her breath. The memory was a weight on his chest, heavier than any business deal, heavier than any responsibility he had ever carried.And yet

Victor Thatcher had always considered himself untouchable. He had spent years maneuvering through the corporate world with ruthless precision, outplaying rivals, silencing threats, and ensuring that power remained in his grasp.But today, for the first time, he felt something foreign—helplessness.Seated in the back of his luxury sedan, Victor tapped his fingers against the leather armrest, his expression cold. His dark eyes flicked to the towering Thatcher Enterprises headquarters—a symbol of the empire that should have been his.He had planned everything perfectly. He had Nadia kidnapped at the precise moment to throw Theodore into chaos, ensuring the charity gala never happened. Yet, not only had his nephew rescued her, but the event had gone through—flawlessly.Twenty billion. Gone.Not stolen. Not mismanaged. Donated. Handed away to charity like it was nothing. And the event? Fifty billion gathered in one night. A record-breaking success.His jaw clenched.His men had assured him

The walls of Theodore Thatcher’s hospital office felt suffocating. Not because of its size—it was grand, pristine, and cold, much like the man himself—but because of the weight pressing down on him. A week had passed since Victor was imprisoned, yet nothing had changed. Nadia still lay in that hospital bed, unmoving. Theodore had lost count of how many doctors had come and gone, dismissed the moment they dared to utter the same worthless words: no improvement. Twenty. No—twenty-one. He had fired another one this morning. And now, the twenty-second stood before him. Dr. Patterson. The man was older than the others, mid-fifties, with graying hair and tired eyes. He had an impressive track record, had dealt with cases others wouldn’t dare touch. But none of that mattered if he couldn’t give Theodore the only answer he wanted. Theodore sat behind his desk, his fingers steepled under his chin, watch

Nadia woke up with a jolt, a soft warmth surrounding her. The first thing that registered in her mind was the feeling of something—or someone—holding her, and she could smell Theodore’s familiar scent, the one she had grown used to. As she opened her eyes, the soft light of morning poured into the room, bathing everything in a warm, golden glow. Her gaze shifted, and her heart nearly stopped when she saw Theodore's face so close to hers.For a brief moment, everything felt surreal. His face was so peaceful, so calm, as if he was in a deep, undisturbed sleep. His jaw was sharp, the slight shadow of stubble covering it, his lips slightly parted. The light from the window highlighted the strong, angular features of his face, and his breathing was steady and relaxed. The sight of him, so close and so... vulnerable, sent a strange flutter through her chest. Her pulse quickened as she realized the position they were in—she was lying in his arms, her head resting against his chest
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 67: Contract Breached
The silence between them stretched on, suffocating in its weight. Theodore’s gaze was fixed on Nadia, his expression unreadable, his jaw clenched as if holding back a storm of words. Nadia stood there, unsure of what to do next. Her heart raced, her mind spinning with a thousand thoughts, none of them making sense."So, what happens now?" she blurted out, her voice louder than she intended. "Will the contract be over now? Do I have to leave? Should I go back tomorrow morning like it says in the terms? I—"Before she could finish her barrage of questions, Theodore stepped closer, cutting her off completely."I love you," he said, his voice low but firm, and the words hung in the air between them, heavy with meaning.Nadia froze, the questions on her lips dying as she processed what he had just said. Her heart stuttered, her breath catching in her throat. She had heard the words, but they felt like they didn’t belong in this moment. It was impossibl
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 66: Heartbeat
Amy looked at Nadia, her curiosity piqued. "Ms. Nadia," she asked softly, "how did you fall in love with Mr. Thatcher?"Nadia’s heart skipped a beat at the question. She glanced at Theodore, sitting across from her, his expression distant and unreadable. She felt her throat tighten as she tried to find the words. For a moment, she considered brushing it off, but something inside her urged her to speak the truth.She took a steadying breath, and when she spoke, her voice was quiet, but it carried the weight of honesty. "Everyone sees Theo as a beast," she began, her eyes flicking between Amy and Rene, then resting on Theodore for a brief moment. "They see his power, his coldness, the way he rules everything around him with an iron fist. And it’s true, in a way. He’s relentless, calculating, like a predator who never lets his guard down. He’s strong, always in control, and everyone fears him for that. It’s how he survives this world, how he built everything he has."
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 65: Between Us
The setting sun cast a warm, golden glow over the yacht as the evening rolled in, the soft hum of the ocean gently rocking them in the background. Dinner was being served, and the four of them were seated around the table—Nadia, Theodore, Rene, and Amy. The table was elegantly set, the scent of fresh seafood filling the air as the dishes were placed before them. Rene and Amy, though staff, had joined them for the meal, and it felt more casual than any dinner Nadia had ever imagined with someone like Theodore.Nadia found herself talking animatedly with Rene, his playful personality and teasing nature making her laugh often. Rene, 22, was the life of the conversation, cracking jokes and lightening the atmosphere with his loud, carefree demeanor. Amy, on the other hand, sat quietly beside him. She was only 19, with a delicate, almost shy aura, her dark eyes lowered as she ate, a soft smile lingering on her lips whenever she did speak. Despite the difference in personalities,
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 64: Drifting Clouds
After the exhilarating dive, Theodore and Nadia had returned to the yacht, their wetsuits now replaced with comfortable, dry clothes. The air was warmer now, but still carried a slight chill from the ocean breeze. The yacht gently rocked with the current, the sound of the water lapping against its hull the only noise around them.They had made their way to the top deck, where large cushions were scattered on the floor, perfect for lounging under the open sky. Nadia, ever the adventurer, flopped down first, stretching out her legs and tilting her face towards the sky. The clouds had gathered, dark and fluffy, giving the sky a soft, overcast feel. It wasn’t the bright, sunny weather they were used to seeing, but it was beautiful in its own way. The clouds seemed to roll gently across the heavens, shifting in slow, graceful patterns, while the occasional bird soared high above, cutting through the air with its wings spread wide.Theodore hesitated for a moment before
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 63: Into the Abyss
The soft hum of the yacht's engines barely disturbed the calm of the early morning. The sun had only just begun to peek over the horizon, casting a golden hue across the vast ocean. Nadia stood outside Theodore's room, her hands lightly gripping the railing as she gazed out at the shimmering water. Her thoughts swirled with excitement; it had been a while since she'd done something adventurous, and this was the perfect opportunity. The yacht staff had told her they could do anything—any water activity she wanted—and she had decided, on a whim, that scuba diving would be the perfect way to start the day.She waited patiently, her heart beating a little faster with anticipation. She could hear the faint sound of footsteps from inside Theodore's room. He was awake.A few moments later, Theodore stepped out into the hallway, his bare chest glistening in the soft morning light. He had a slight frown on his face, still groggy from sleep, and his hair was messy from the n
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 62: Serenity
"Who's protecting you?"Theodore's question was sharp, piercing through the moment of silence that had settled between them. It was a question that dug deep, one that wasn’t just about this night, about the way the ocean waves crashed on the shore beneath their feet. No, this was something bigger, something that transcended the present moment. His voice had an edge, a tenderness to it that made Nadia pause. She wasn’t used to that. Not from someone like him.Her gaze flickered toward him, and for a brief moment, she could see the vulnerability in his eyes—the very thing he worked so hard to hide. But as quickly as it appeared, it vanished behind a mask of cool indifference. Still, the question lingered, heavy in the air.Nadia took a deep breath, the night air cool against her skin, and let her gaze wander to the horizon. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks below matched the turbulence inside her. She could feel the weight of his words, like
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 61: Beyond Pretend
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
