last update Last Updated: 2025-03-10 20:09:13

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 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.

    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.

    Marcus stood in front of Theodore’s desk, his expression neutral as he delivered the update. “Mr. Thatcher, Miss Nadia has been discharged from the hospital. She’s now at the house with Miranda.”Theodore remained seated in his chair, his fingers steepled under his chin, unreadable as ever. “How is she?”“She’s doing great, according to the doctors. There are no complications, and she just needs to continue resting.”A slow exhale escaped Theodore’s lips. It was nearly imperceptible, but Marcus noticed it—the slight tension leaving his shoulders, the barely-there sign of relief.“Ensure that the security around the house is reinforced,” Theodore said, his tone sharp and businesslike, as if he wasn’t affected at all. “And make it clear that Drake is not to come anywhere near her.”Marcus gave a slight nod, already anticipating the order. “Understood, sir. I’ll handle it.”Theodore didn’t respond, simply turning his chair to face t

    The sun peeked gently through the palm leaves as morning arrived on the island, painting the horizon in soft shades of gold and peach. A salty breeze whispered through the trees, stirring the embers of last night’s campfire. Nadia stirred first, her cheek nestled in the crook of Theodore’s shoulder, the fine white sand cool beneath them. For a moment, she simply lay there, listening to the steady rhythm of his breathing, her hand resting lightly on his chest.Theodore's eyes opened slowly, blinking against the morning light. His arm was still wrapped protectively around her, and when he noticed her watching him with sleepy affection, a slow smile spread across his face."Morning," he murmured, voice still husky from sleep."Morning," she whispered back.They lay there for a while in comfortable silence, the world around them beginning to stir. The distant cry of gulls overhead, the sound of waves lapping against the shore—it all felt surreal. This place, this moment, was a dream carve

    The fire crackled softly in the stillness of the night, its glow casting warm orange hues onto the white sand surrounding them. Above, the stars glittered like scattered diamonds across the ink-black sky, and the sea whispered gently to the shore just a few feet away. The air smelled of salt and faint smoke, and the cool breeze rustled the palm trees around the campfire.Nadia lay on her back on the sand, her arm brushing Theodore’s as they stared up at the constellations. It felt surreal, being here—on this quiet island, away from the chaos and lies, away from the noise of expectations and reputations. For once, everything was calm. There were no reporters, no pretending, no pretending to be strangers or enemies or anything else. Just them, raw and real.She turned her head to look at him. Theodore was quiet, his expression relaxed in a way she had only recently begun to recognize. Gone was the cold billionaire with walls made of steel. Here beside her lay the man who held her when s

    The night was alive with the sounds of the ocean's waves crashing gently against the shore, and the warmth from the campfire flickered in the cool evening breeze. The sky above was dotted with countless stars, their light twinkling in the vast expanse, untouched by the noise of the world. The island, isolated and tranquil, was the perfect escape from everything—the world they had left behind, the lives they had built, and the contract that tied them together.Nadia and Theodore lay side by side on the soft, white sand, their bodies barely touching but an invisible tension between them, as if the night itself was holding its breath. The fire crackled between them, sending a warmth that contrasted with the coolness of the island air. The flames danced, casting long shadows on the sand, while the soft light illuminated their faces in a way that made the world feel smaller—just the two of them, lost in time and space.Nadia stared up at the stars, her thoughts drifting back to the very fi

    Nadia’s heart raced as she responded instinctively, her arms wrapping around Theodore’s neck, pulling him closer to her. The kiss deepened, becoming more urgent and intense, and she could feel every inch of him against her, her body reacting to the closeness as if it had been waiting for this moment. Her fingers tangled in his hair, drawing him tighter against her, unable to resist the pull between them.Theodore’s lips moved over hers with a hunger that left her breathless. She could taste the sweetness of his mouth, feel the warmth of his breath against her skin. The subtle, familiar scent of his cologne mixed with the natural musk of his skin, and it was intoxicating—like she was drowning in him, in everything about him.He pulled back slightly, his eyes locking with hers, darkened with emotion. His voice was low and thick with desire, yet there was an undeniable vulnerability in his words. "I care about you," he murmured, his voice almost a whisper, as if admitting something he ha

    Nadia woke up with a start, the warmth of someone’s arms surrounding her. The first thing that registered in her mind was the scent of Theodore, mixed with the softness of the sheets around her. Her eyes fluttered open, and her heart skipped a beat when she realized just how close his face was to hers. His features, relaxed and peaceful in his sleep, were only inches away, and she could feel his breath against her skin.But then, panic flooded her senses. What happened last night? She quickly glanced down at her body, her heart racing. Her mind scrambled as she checked herself, half-expecting the worst. She frantically touched her clothes, her hands skimming over the fabric of her tank top and shorts. I’m still dressed, thank goodness.Nadia sighed in relief, though the mix of confusion and something else—disappointment?—settled in her chest. She couldn’t quite figure out how she felt about the situation. Part of her was glad nothing happened, but another part of h

    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 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

    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 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,
