The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 29: The Fall of Victor
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

The Thatcher estate was in chaos.The scandal surrounding Victor Thatcher had spread like wildfire, staining the once-impenetrable reputation of their family. News outlets ran the story with relentless fervor—Billionaire’s Brother Arrested for Organized Crime Involvement! The Thatcher Legacy in Jeopardy! Stocks had taken a hit, business partners were reconsidering their alliances, and whispers of disgrace followed the family’s name like a shadow.And Leonora Thatcher was furious.She sat rigidly in the grand living room, her perfectly tailored emerald dress draped elegantly over the velvet couch, but the tight grip on her glass of wine betrayed her anger. The butler stood silently by the door, knowing better than to linger when she was in this mood.Then the doors swung open, and there he was.Theodore walked in with his usual unshaken composure, his crisp black suit tailored to perfection, his expression unreadable. He looked every bit t

The bright lights bore down on him as the cameras rolled, capturing every angle, every movement. Drake adjusted his posture, stepping into character, even as his mind swirled with everything that had happened over the past few days.The scene was tense—a confrontation between two brothers, their rivalry boiling over into a heated argument. His co-star, an older, seasoned actor, threw his lines with precision, but Drake barely registered them. He delivered his lines with effortless charm, masking the inner turmoil simmering beneath his composed exterior.The director called out, “Cut! That was good, but let’s do one more take.”Drake sighed, running a hand through his hair. He had been locked into this taping schedule for days, unable to leave or even check his phone most of the time. It was only today that he finally caught up on everything—his father, Victor Thatcher, had been sentenced to prison.And Nadia…She had been unconscious for

The doctors had just finished their check-up, assuring Miranda that Nadia was in good condition but still needed to stay in the hospital for monitoring. Miranda sighed in relief, her heart finally at ease. After a long week of uncertainty, she was just grateful that Nadia was awake.Nadia shifted slightly on the bed, her voice hoarse from not speaking for so long. “Where’s Chris?”Miranda’s expression softened at the mention of the boy. “He was here earlier,” she said gently. “But I decided to take him home. He was exhausted from worrying about you, and I wanted to make sure he got some proper rest. He barely left your side this whole week.”Nadia frowned, guilt washing over her. She could only imagine how worried Chris must have been. Her little brother had always been protective of her, even though she was the older sibling.“I should’ve been there for him instead…” she murmured, more to herself than anyone else.Miranda shook her head

Theodore stormed out of Nadia’s hospital room, his footsteps heavy with frustration. Miranda, who had just returned from buying food recommended by the doctors, saw him leaving. She immediately noticed the tension in his posture, the sharpness in his movements—he was angry.“Mr. Theodore,” Miranda called, quickening her pace to catch up to him.He turned to face her, his jaw tight. “How did Drake get inside?”Miranda hesitated. “I—he just wanted to see how Nadia was doing. He pleaded, and I thought—”“You thought?” Theodore cut her off, his voice dangerously low. “I don’t care what he wanted. His father is in prison for a reason, and I don’t trust him.”Miranda bowed her head slightly. “I’m sorry, Mr. Theodore. I should have refused.”Theodore didn’t respond. He simply turned and walked away, his long strides carrying him swiftly down the hallway.Miranda sighed, knowing there was no use trying to reason with him right n

Nadia swallowed hard. “I’m here now.”He turned to her again, his dark eyes locking onto hers. “Yes,” he said, his voice laced with something unfamiliar. “You are.”A beat of silence passed between them before Theodore shifted, resting his arms on his knees as he looked at the skyline ahead. “I didn’t care about the investors leaving. I didn’t care about the company losing billions.”Nadia watched him, unsure of where he was going with this. His voice was calm, but there was a weight behind his words, something heavy and unspoken.“The only thing I cared about,” he continued, his tone quieter now, “was whether or not you were going to wake up.”Nadia’s breath caught in her throat.She had seen the exhaustion on his face, heard the things Miranda had said, but hearing it from him—hearing the raw honesty in his voice—made her chest tighten.“I—” she started, but he cut her off with a low, humorless chuckle.“I fired doctors, Nadia.” He turned to her again, his expression unreadable. “On

Three Days LaterNadia sat on the edge of the hospital bed, absently tracing patterns on the blanket draped over her legs. The sterile white walls of the room that had been her sanctuary for the past week now felt suffocating. Today was the day she was finally being discharged. The doctor had already given the go-ahead yesterday, confirming that she was recovering well. She only needed to continue resting at home.Everything was in place—her belongings packed, Miranda had arranged for transportation, and all her hospital bills were cleared.Cleared in advance.By Theodore.Nadia exhaled, pressing her lips together.She had only just found out that the hospital she had been staying in all this time was owned by Theodore himself. It explained why he had been able to fire multiple doctors without hesitation, why there had been a constant flow of staff attending to her needs. He had made sure she had the best medical care available.

The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 68: Too Close
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
