Unintentional Desires (The Billionaire heiress) Chapter 27
A future together (Gemini pov)I watched with a mix of amusement and pride as Simon clutched my hand tightly, his grip unyielding even as I tried to break free. The contract marriage we had entered into seemed to complicate even the simplest of conversations.Desperately, I leaned in and whispered, "You can release my hands now, you know." My voice was laden with a hint of frustration.His reply came in a deep, husky tone, filled with determination. "No, love. I need to play my part perfectly."I stared at him in disbelief, my eyebrows furrowing as Gustavo abruptly materialized before me. Hatred burned in his eyes, his presence casting a dark shadow over the situation."May I borrow her, please?" Gustavo's attention shifted from me to Simon.Simon stood unwavering, his response laced with defiance. "If you have something to say, say it in front of me."The tension in the air was palpable, and I slowly wrested my hands from Simon's grasp, turning to fa

(Terms and conditions)(Simon pov) I sat there, my body weary and my mind spinning, the weight of the operating room still clinging to my consciousness. Five grueling hours of surgery, followed by two back-to-back business meetings had left me utterly drained. But as I gazed at the paper in front of me, I knew there was something far more exhausting awaiting me.Summoning every ounce of courage, I finally mustered the words, "What happened to us creating a future together?" My eyes remained fixed on the paper, afraid to meet her gaze.Her response was laced with a deceptive sweetness. "Oh, darling, we will build a future together. A future that's secure and guaranteed," she reassured me. Slowly, I lifted my head, raising an eyebrow as I looked into her eyes, searching for honesty.Curiosity gnawed at me, and I couldn't help but ask, "So, what exactly are these terms and conditions you're so desperate to enforce?" I leaned back in my seat, trying to regain

(A Little Family Drama)(Gemini pov)I had my doubts when he suggested eating outside, but it was Simon after all - sweet and unpredictable.Sitting in the dining hall, my eyes scanned the faces at the table, searching for something."What in the world?" I leaned in and whispered in his ear.My dad, stepmother, grandma, and Tiara all stared at me, as I plastered on a smile filled with both hatred and nervousness."I'm so grateful you could join us, George," Mr. Sinclair, Simon's father, said with a friendly smile directed towards my dad."I couldn't possibly decline the opportunity to have lunch with my in-laws," my dad replied, a fake smile appearing on his face.My dad was never supportive of my marriage to Simon. Despite Simon's success, my dad believed that Prince Abdul, with his immense fortune in Dubai, was the perfect husband for me and a necessary partner for Saint Global Tech.I could see my dad getting increasingly angry, knowing that I wasn't just

Yes I do (Gemini pov)“Okay, okay, you have to breathe Gemini,” Penelope said Ten minutes remaining before I walked down the aisle, I was nervous, tho, it was just a contract marriage, and I was nervous as hell. “Am breathing, am breathing” I said to Penelope, who was my maid of honor. “I just need my mom's necklace, where is it, I left it on the table” I added “Calm down, I kept it away for Safekeeping, let me get it” Penelope assured meShe came back empty-handed. “Where is it?” I asked “I vividly remember keeping it in the guest room, I can't find it there,” Penelope said I stared at her lost for words, “Penelope this can't be me, I need that necklace, I don't think I can do this, I don't think I can go through with this marriage.” “Are you for real, you want to end this marriage with Simon, who you are clearly head over heels for because of a necklace you got from your grandma this morning?” Penelope asked in disbelief “You don't get i

The birthday surprise(Gemini pov)I walked into the living room, finding the house unusually quiet. I assumed Simon must have left early. One of the new maids Simon had hired, Tracy, greeted me with a cheery "Good morning, ma'am."I smiled back at her. "Hello, Tracy."She relayed a message from Simon. "Mr. Simon asked me to tell you to please have breakfast before leaving the house this morning," she informed me.I chuckled and replied, "Did you also tell him that I'm not a baby and he shouldn't worry about me?" I playfully waved her off as I made my way to the dining table.Sitting down, I couldn't help but feast my eyes on the array of food spread out before me. My stomach growled in anticipation as I absentmindedly rubbed it."Well, little one, Daddy said we should get fat for him," I teased, taking a bite of a delicious pancake drenched in maple syrup. It tasted heavenly.The other maids filed in, greeting me with warm smiles. I waved back, still fixated

The unexpected news (Gemini pov)I turned to stare at my grandmother, filled with worry and concern. Was she okay? Why was she talking as if she was going somewhere far?But just then, my thoughts were interrupted as Simon stood up to make a toast."Can I have everyone's attention, please?" he announced, holding his glass of champagne. It was clear that he was drunk. In a panic, I quickly pulled him back down to his seat.I could see the smirks on everyone's faces, except for my dad. They were enjoying my embarrassment."Will you stop drinking for once?" I whispered, leaning closer to Simon. "Or else, you're going to make it obvious that you don't want to be here.""Well, I don't, but that doesn't stop me from making a toast to my dearest wife," Simon slurred, standing up once again. "Sorry for that little drama. Now, where was I?"I folded my arms in protest, waiting for him to embarrass himself."First of all, thank you all for taking the time to grace

The secret Affair(Gemini pov)“What do you mean, she can't be discharged yet” I asked pacing back and front In my grandma's office. “Doctor, I just need the truth, what is going on” “Mrs Sinclair, I promise to inform you once the results come out today, trust me,” the doctor said at the other end of the line.“Please keep me updated and take care of my grandma” I replied begging as I ended the call.It has been five days since my Grandma got admitted into the hospital, the doctors kept running back and forth with different tests and no results, and I was getting impatient.I held my stomach as I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen, clenching onto the table I tried to walk back to my seat. I was overstressing myself and my baby I knew but I had no choice, ever since Grandma collapsed I had to take control of things in the gallery. I was already busy trying to get my mom assets from my stepmother.I just hired a private investigator to do some diggin

Chapter 34 (All because I love you) (Gustavo pov)I watched as Mrs. Ciara settled the bills at the station, frustration building within me as my car had been confiscated. I was asked to return later to retrieve it, but anger and rage consumed me.That wretched Simon was unbelievably lucky to have escaped my grasp. Fuming, I threw my jacket to the ground."Are you serious?" Mrs. Ciara exclaimed, her frustration evident. "What were you thinking, engaging in a car chase with Simon?""It's none of your business," I simply retorted.She scoffed, her tone laced with annoyance. "You should be grateful that I decided to come along. If Saint ever finds out about this, everything will be over. Maybe you should consider leaving Gemini alone."I glared at her, the thought of leaving Gemini never crossing my mind. She was mine from the very beginning, and who did Simon think he was? How dare he try to take what was rightfully mine!"Wher

Unintentional Desires (The Billionaire heiress) Chapter 85
~A CITY OF ART~Gemini didn’t hesitate. The moment Simon uttered those words “You need to get out of there”—she was already packing. She didn’t need an explanation. She trusted Simon. By the time the clean-up crew arrived, she was already handing the keys to them with strict instructions to finish by the morning.Penelope and Benson had watched her with matching expressions of concern. Benson, being Benson, had tried to keep the mood light. “You know, Gem,” he said as they walked into the lobby of the luxurious hotel she had booked at the last minute. “For someone who claims to want a quiet life, your life is pure telenovela material.” Gemini forced a smile as she handed her credit card to the receptionist. “I’d say it’s more of a psychological thriller at this point.” Penelope crossed her arms. “Gem, are you okay? You barely said a word in the cab.” “I’m fine,” Gemini lied, forcing another fake smile.”Benson squinted. “That was the fakest smile I’ve ever seen.” She g

~A TRIP TO PARIS~The moment their plane touched down in Paris, Gemini felt a strange mix of excitement and unease settle in her chest. The last time she had been here, she was a child—clutching her mother’s hand as they walked through the streets, listening to her talk about dreams, art, and love.Now, she was returning with a mission.Benson stretched as they stepped into the arrivals terminal, adjusting his oversized sunglasses. “Ah, Paris. The city of love, croissants, and my future sugar daddy.” Penelope rolled her eyes. “We’ve been here for five minutes.” “I like to manifest.” Gemini chuckled but quickly turned serious as she pulled out the letter again, her eyes scanning the familiar handwriting.It had to be her mother’s. And there was only one place that could hold the answers she needed—her mother’s house in Paris.A sleek black car was already waiting for them, arranged by Simon, of course.“Tell me, Gem, how rich are you now?” Benson teased as he slid into the back

~A CRUEL CONFESSION~It wouldn’t look good if I didn’t visit Tiara. I had enough on my plate already—keeping an eye on Jerome, who was hell-bent on becoming a problem, and now Simon, who was digging into things that were none of his damn business. Simon needed to be dealt with—soon.As I stepped into the hospital hallway, my sharp gaze swept over the doctors and nurses bustling past me. I exhaled, rolling my shoulders before stopping in front of Tiara’s room. Just as I reached for the door handle, a nurse appeared, blocking my way. “Excuse me, sir,” she said, adjusting the noteboard in her arms. “May I ask who you are?” I turned to her, flashing my most charming smile. The blush that crept up her neck told me it worked. “A close friend of the patient,” I said smoothly. She hesitated, biting her lip. “That’s nice, but I’m afraid she’s not accepting visitors—strict orders from her mother.” Ciara. That insufferable woman. Did she know I’d come?I sighed dramatically, tilti

~MORNING DESIRE~Gemini sat quietly in the garden, her gaze locked on the mysterious key resting in her palm. She studied it intently, as if willing it to reveal its secrets. A deep, familiar voice broke her thoughts. “If you stare at it any longer, it might explode,” Simon teased from behind her, his arms wrapped securely around her shoulders. A small smile played on Gemini’s lips as she reached up, gently caressing his hand. She tilted her head slightly, an unspoken invitation. Simon understood immediately, pressing a soft, lingering kiss to her lips before pulling back. “Aren’t you busy today?” she asked, her voice light but curious. Simon smirked and moved to sit beside her. He was supposed to be in the office, but his plans had shifted after receiving a call from Lilac Sheinkaih.She had requested a meeting today—one he wasn’t about to miss. If she had answers that could help Gemini, he would be there in a heartbeat.“Well,” he said, stretching out his legs, “I have an

SHATTERED BONDSCiara gently took Tiara’s frail hand in hers, her thumb brushing soothing circles over the cold skin. Her daughter had barely spoken since she was admitted, the weight of her loss pressing down on her like a suffocating fog.“Tiara, sweetheart,” Ciara murmured, her voice soft, almost pleading. “Won’t you say something to Mommy?”She reached out, tucking a loose strand of hair behind Tiara’s ear, but the girl didn’t react. She simply sat there—silent, hollow, a ghost of herself.Tiara was wasting away before her eyes, refusing to eat, refusing to acknowledge the world around her. And yet, Ciara couldn’t bring herself to grieve for the baby her daughter had lost.Not when she believed it was for the best.Sighing, she laced her fingers with Tiara’s. “I know this is hard,” she said, her voice carrying that practiced gentleness, the kind that hid the sharp edge of her true thoughts. “But as much as I hate to see you like this, I think… in some ways, it was for the best.”

~DINNER & SEX~The sun had just dipped below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow across the sky as Simon pulled into the driveway of their cozy home. Gemini, her hand resting gently on her burgeoning baby bump, smiled softly at him. She had been tired lately, her body changing in ways she was still getting used to, but Simon’s quiet attentiveness had been her anchor. Tonight, though, there was something different in his eyes—a spark of excitement she hadn’t seen in weeks. “You are going to love the surprise I have for you,” he said, his voice low and teasing as he helped her out of the car. Her curiosity piqued, but she didn’t press him. Simon had always been the romantic one, the planner, the dreamer. She trusted him to make tonight special.Inside, the house was bathed in the soft, flickering light of candles. Dozens of them, scattered across the living room and dining area, their flames dancing like tiny stars. The air smelled of lavender and vanilla, a scent she associat

~THE BOX OF SECRETS~Gemini stared at the long list of preparations for the upcoming exhibition. It had been an exhausting week—work had become her only escape, keeping her mind occupied and away from the tangled mess of her family’s betrayals. Every lead had hit a dead end.But she wasn’t giving up. Her mother’s letters were still evidence—proof that something had been left for her, something hidden beneath the layers of deception. She sighed, resting a hand on her stomach. Her phone chimed. A text from Simon.A small smile tugged at her lips. He had mentioned a surprise for her tonight. What could it be?The thought warmed her, pushing aside the storm of stress she carried daily. She was just about to sign the last document for the day and head home when Tracy stepped into her office.“I think I’m done for the day, Tracy,” Gemini said, stretching her fingers and flashing her assistant a tired smile. Tracy hesitated. “You have a delivery, ma’am.” Gemini frowned, glancin

~A DARK STORM OF TRUTH~Brandon arrived at Saint Mansion not long after his call with Lilac. Stepping into the driveway, he paused, his eyes locked on the grand estate that once belonged to his sister. Memories flooded his mind. He could almost see Maya standing at the door, waiting to see him off whenever he visited. Her laughter, her warmth—everything about her still lingered in the very walls of this house. But now, there was only silence. The rain poured steadily, tapping against the sleek black car as Brandon finally stepped out. His jaw tightened as he made his way to the entrance, his footsteps heavy with purpose. A maid hurried forward to greet him. He barely spared her a glance as he scanned the dimly lit foyer. Something felt… off. The house was too quiet. Brandon turned to the maid, his voice sharp. “Where’s Nanny Laura?” The older woman hesitated. She fidgeted with the hem of her apron, avoiding his gaze. Brandon’s patience was already thin. “I asked yo

~A GROWING THREAT~Simon stepped out of the hospital’s grand entrance, the weight of the day pressing against his shoulders. His name was etched in bold letters across the sleek glass facade—Sinclair Medical Center—a reminder of the empire he’d built. But right now, none of it mattered. He loosened his tie slightly, exhaling as he made his way to his car. Sliding into the driver’s seat, he started the engine and pulled out of the lot, navigating the busy streets with ease. A few blocks later, he spotted a small roadside flower stand tucked between a café and a bookstore. A hint of memories tugged at him—Gemini loved fresh flowers. She once told him that nothing brightened a room quite like them. Smiling to himself, he parked and stepped out, his sharp suit standing in contrast to the casual bustle of the street. “Good evening, sir,” the elderly florist greeted warmly. “What can I get for you?” “Something elegant,” Simon said, scanning the vibrant display. His eyes landed o
