TBG - Chapter 37: Uninvited

2025-03-18 00:30:36Marcus 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 scent of warm toast and scrambled eggs filled the kitchen as Nadia carefully sliced fresh fruits for Chris’s breakfast. A plate of whole wheat toast, boiled eggs, and a smoothie rich in vitamins sat neatly on the counter. Chris had been doing better—healthier, stronger—and she wasn’t about to take that for granted. “Do I really have to eat all of this?” Chris groaned, poking at the neatly arranged meal in front of him. Nadia chuckled. “Yes, you do. If you want to stay strong, you need to eat healthy.” Chris made a face but didn’t argue. She ruffled his hair before returning to the stove, flipping the last pancake with ease. In two days, she would be visiting a cancer treatment center, one of the organizations chosen to receive millions in funding from her project. The thought warmed her. It was one of the few things that made this arrangement with Theodore worth it. She had been planning this visit for we

“Theodore and I had a lot to talk about. Our past, mostly.”Sheena’s sultry voice played on the television, her perfectly lined red lips forming a knowing smile.“Are you two getting back together?” a reporter eagerly asked, thrusting a microphone toward her.Sheena didn’t respond immediately. Instead, she let out a soft, almost teasing laugh before tilting her head slightly, her eyes shimmering with amusement.“Well, we’ll see, won’t we?”The screen cut back to the anchor, who wore a look of intrigue.“Speculation is growing after Hollywood star Sheena Valerio was seen entering Thatcher Enterprises late last night. Could this mean a rekindled romance between her and Theodore Thatcher? If so, what does this mean for the rumors surrounding Theodore’s upcoming wedding? Stay tuned as we uncover more details.”With a sharp flick, the television was turned off.A heavy silence settled in the luxurious Thatcher estate

The night was calm, the air crisp with the scent of chlorine and the faint aroma of jasmine from the nearby garden. The sky stretched endlessly above, a deep navy canvas sprinkled with stars. The soft ripple of water echoed in the stillness of the estate as Nadia stepped outside, her bare feet making almost no sound against the cool stone tiles. She had been in her room, preparing for bed when Miranda had knocked on her door."Mr. Theodore wants to see you by the pool."Nadia frowned but didn’t argue. She slipped into a light cardigan over her casual clothes before making her way outside.As she turned the corner, she saw him. Theodore was sitting at the edge of the pool, his legs stretched out, a glass of deep red wine in his hand. The soft glow of the pool lights reflected on his sharp features, making him look almost otherworldly. His expression was unreadable, his gaze locked on the liquid swirling in his glass as if lost in thought.Nadia hes

Nadia stepped out of the car, the afternoon sun casting a soft glow over the charity center. Dressed in a simple pair of jeans and a white T-shirt provided by the foundation—printed with a colorful design supporting children with cancer—she looked nothing like the fiancée of a billionaire. There were no expensive dresses, no designer heels, no jewelry that screamed luxury. Just her, in comfortable sneakers, ready to step into a place that once held so much of her past.And that was exactly how she wanted it.She adjusted the hem of her shirt, her fingers brushing over the fabric as she took a steadying breath. The moment she entered the building, a group of nurses greeted her with warm smiles.“Miss Nadia, welcome back,” one of the senior nurses said, her voice filled with genuine gratitude.Nadia smiled in return. “I’m happy to be here.”“We’ve been so excited to show you all the improvements we’ve made thanks to the donation from Thatch

Nadia held Theodore’s gaze, searching for an answer in his unreadable expression. He didn’t look uncomfortable, exactly, but there was something about the way he stood there—silent, unmoving—that made her realize the truth.He doesn’t know how to interact with kids.It made sense. Theodore Thatcher wasn’t the type to deal with small, fragile things. He was used to commanding boardrooms, negotiating million-dollar deals, and being the cold, untouchable figure of Thatcher Enterprises.But here, in front of a room full of bright-eyed children, he looked… out of place.The nurse beside him, oblivious to the tension, still held an eager smile. “Mr. Theodore, would you like to say something to the kids?”Theodore didn’t respond immediately. His sharp gaze flickered briefly toward the children, who were watching him with curiosity. Some whispered among themselves, and Nadia could tell that, despite not knowing who he was, they could sense he was

The warm afternoon sun cast a golden glow over the charity center as the day slowly came to an end. It was already three in the afternoon, and it was time to leave.The children, who had been full of laughter and energy throughout the day, now had tears welling in their eyes."Nadia, please come back soon!" one of the younger girls cried, clutching onto her hand."I will," Nadia promised, kneeling to hug the girl tightly. "Be strong for me, okay?"The little girl sniffled and nodded.Others gathered around, waving, their faces a mixture of smiles and sadness. “Thank you for today!”“Come visit us again, Miss Nadia!”“You too, Mr. Theodore!”Theodore stood slightly off to the side, watching the scene unfold. He wasn’t used to emotional goodbyes. He didn’t even know how to react to them. The way the children clung to Nadia, the way they looked at her with so much admiration—it was unfamiliar territory for him.

Sheena Valerio leaned against the plush couch of her penthouse, her long, manicured fingers tracing the rim of her wine glass. The rich aroma of red wine filled the air, but she barely noticed. Her mind wasn’t in the present—it was trapped in the past.She closed her eyes, letting herself drift back to the time when everything had felt certain.Theodore was her childhood sweetheart.Leonora Thatcher, Theodore’s mother, had always made sure that the two of them were close. They grew up together, attended the same gatherings, were seen as a pair long before anything romantic even started. It had always been an unspoken assumption—Sheena Valerio and Theodore Thatcher, the perfect match.Sheena had believed it. Everyone had believed it.But Theodore was different from other rich boys.He never cared about appearances, about power plays or social standing. While Sheena was basking in the spotlight, Theodore was pushing himself to the

Nadia stepped out of the car, her heels clicking softly against the pavement in front of Thatcher Enterprises. The towering glass building loomed over her, exuding power and prestige, yet she felt nothing but quiet reluctance.Beside her, Miranda, ever composed, walked with effortless grace.Three days had passed since the pictures of her and Theodore at the Bright Horizon Foundation went viral.Nadia had no interest in reading comments, but Miranda kept her informed—people were beginning to like her. The tide had turned in her favor, and in the process, Sheena had become the new target of public scrutiny.Nadia wasn’t sure how to feel about it.As they entered Theodore’s office, she instinctively searched for him.The moment their eyes met, the world seemed to pause.His sharp, calculating stare locked onto hers. A familiar intensity lingered in his gaze, one that made her heart skip—yet before it could settle, she look

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 Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 71: From Ashes
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
The Billionaire's Game TBG - Chapter 69: Drawn In
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
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,
