TBG - Chapter 58: The Fallout
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-04-08 00:25:21The 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 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 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 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.”

"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 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

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 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,

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 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 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
