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

Chapter 61To Protect You.Simon kept his eyes fixed on the road as he drove Gemini to his villa. He knew he wasn’t going to let her return to her father’s house—not after that confrontation. The nerve of that man.“Simon,” Gemini called out, but he didn’t respond, his jaw clenched in frustration. Was he angry at her? She hadn’t done anything wrong. “Are you angry with me?” she asked again, her voice tinged with confusion.Silence met her, and Simon continued to ignore her. He didn’t want to engage in an argument, not now, not when his temper was already flaring. “Seriously? You won’t even answer me?” she pressed, annoyance furrowing her brows.Finally, Simon arrived at his villa, parking the car in the garage. He stepped out and unlocked the door, gesturing for Gemini to follow. She hesitated for a moment, unsure, but eventually complied.As he walked ahead, she trailed behind, irritation bubbling inside her. Why had he brought her here instead of taking her back to her father’s hou

Chapter 60JEALOUSY.Gemini made her way toward Gustavo, who had been drinking heavily since the event began. It was obvious that something was bothering him.“Didn’t you drive here?” Gemini’s voice cut through Gustavo’s tension, causing him to focus on her. His green eyes, usually bright and sharp, now appeared dull.“Is that concern I sense in your voice?” he replied, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips as he studied her. When was her due date? Her stomach was so prominent, yet he hated that he still found her incredibly attractive.The dress she had chosen for the evening accentuated her baby bump beautifully; she looked slender and had been keeping in shape. Her golden-blonde hair fell straight and perfectly down her back, and her sea-blue eyes seemed to shimmer more than usual, deepening in color. Her fair skin glowed under the warm lights of the room.Gustavo couldn't shake off the bitterness he felt toward Simon for taking her away from him. This beauty standing before

Chapter 59Wavering Allies.Ciara made her way towards Lilac with deliberate slowness, fully aware that she wasn’t ready to be ensnared in Gustavo's drama. It was high time she found a way to extricate herself from any alliance with him before his chaos swallowed her whole.Her plan to gradually poison Saint was progressing smoothly; everything was falling into place as long as he didn't interfere. She knew without a doubt that Gemini—the insufferable brat—needed to be dealt with soon.“Ehhmm,” she coughed, drawing Lilac's attention from the crowd of people she was engaged with. Lilac turned to face Ciara slowly, her brows arching slightly in curiosity.“Hello, Miss Sheinkaih. My name is Ciara Saint,” she introduced, forcing a smile as she extended her hand for a shake.Lilac hesitated for a moment, causing a flicker of embarrassment to wash over Ciara as her hand lingered in the air. She quickly glanced at Gemini, who shot her a scathing glare.“It’s nice to meet you,” Lilac finall

Chapter 58Old Friends & Foes.Gustavo leaned on the bar counter, twirling his drink in his hand as his eyes lingered on Jerome who had been smiling and making connections since the event ended.Why wasn't he leaving, Gustavo thought as he took a full sip of his drink.“Your friend seems to be enjoying himself,” Simon said as he approached Gustavo, planning to get on his nerves.“What do you mean by my friend Simon?” Gustavo asked in annoyance. Gustavo was very aware that Simon had been doing some digging concerning Sevan's holding.The reason he had invited Celine back to New York was so he could keep Simon and Gemini busy so that he could move on with his plan.Celine was of no use to him anymore, now he has to look for another way to get rid of Simon.“Jerome spine….you know Gustavo I heard interesting news that he was missing” Simon trailed in hoping to get off Gustsvo's skin and make his falter.“Well a missing man won't be here enjoying the night of his life” Gustavo answered ir

Chapter 57The Donation.Gemini couldn’t believe her eyes. Was this some kind of sick joke? The news of Jerome's disappearance had rocked her just months ago, and now, here he was, standing alive and well in front of her. The fundraiser ceremony took on a life of its own as the MC stepped up to deliver his welcome speech, commanding the attention of the attendees with an enthusiastic grin. “Welcome to the 13th edition of our human rights fundraiser! We are thrilled to see so many familiar faces return to this esteemed organization!” he announced, his voice echoing through the crowd. Gemini’s gaze, however, remained locked on Jerome, who was smiling as if he hadn’t a care in the world.“He must be in a good mood for someone who just came back from the dead,” Simon quipped, throwing a glance at Jerome before redirecting his attention to Gustavo beside him.Gustavo’s heart raced as he processed the sight of Jerome. He fought to maintain his composure, though the revelation of Jerome’s

Chapter 56The fundraiser two.Gemini pulled away quickly, stunned by Simon's audacity. Did he forget that they were getting a divorce soon? The last thing she wanted was to complicate things or give him false hope.“What are they doing in public?” one of the guests murmured, causing Gemini to hide her face in her hands.“All this young love makes us feel old,” another guest chimed in, chuckling lightly.Gemini’s attention shifted to her stepmother, who wore a disapproving glare as she processed whatever had just transpired between Gemini and Simon. As for Gustavo, well, she didn’t give a damn about his opinion. To her surprise, she spotted her uncle Brandon at the fundraiser—a rarity, since he usually avoided such events, no matter how much Grandma begged him to attend. She thought he would be home in San Francisco by now, but clearly, something was keeping him in New York.“That was quite the show you put on, you little rascal,” Uncle Brandon teased, a playful glint in his eye. “

(The Fundraiser One)Mrs Ciara grabbed hold of Tiara's arm tightly, staring at her, her mind contemplating how to go about her revelation.“You better keep this mouth of yours shut Tiara” Mrs Ciara threatened as she let go of her daughter's hand. This wasn't what she wanted, She didn't want to get her daughter to see this side of her.“I will Mother, as long as you are supportive of my decision and get your husband under control, we don't want Gemini finding out about your little secret” Tiara threatened with a mischievous smile plastered on her lips.“Tiara” Her mother called out her name, her tone soft with concern.Tiara stood up from where she sat, making her way to the door as she paused halfway, shooting her mother one last side glance. “I trust you will handle everything Mother” she added unlocking the door and stepping out of the room knowing she had achieved what she wanted, all that was left was to get her hands on those documents her mom had just shown her.The day of the

Chapter 54Bitter Truth A silence followed, thick and uncomfortable. The clatter of forks and the soft hum of a distant refrigerator were all that could be heard. Tiara glanced between Gemini and her father, desperately trying not to add to the heat already brewing.Saint’s features hardened again, though perhaps not quite so fiercely as before. “You think I don’t care about you? I’m trying to protect you from making decisions you’ll regret!”“By controlling my choices?” Gemini shook her head, her resolve unwavering. “You don’t get to dictate what I should or shouldn’t regret. I need to feel that freedom for myself, even if it means stumbling along the way.”“Gemini, listen—” Tiara ventured.“No, you listen for once, Tiara!” Gemini cut in, her voice steady. “You have your own life to lead. Don’t let them keep you locked in either. This is about me today, and they need to hear me. If he can’t accept that I’m not going to be the daughter he envisioned, then he needs to figure out how

Chapter 53(Being Merciful)Gemini strode down the hallway to her room, a smile dancing on her lips. She couldn’t believe she’d just shared a normal moment with Tiara—no fighting, no animosity; just a fleeting glimpse of sisterly connection. Yet, the joy was quickly overshadowed by Gustavo’s chilling words echoing in her mind, urging her to terminate the pregnancy. She couldn’t help but caress her stomach, the thought sending a tremor of both fear and defiance through her.As she approached her room, she noticed her stepmother, Mrs. Ciara, approaching her with that familiar stern expression. Gemini took a steadying breath, determined to avoid conflict, but she could feel tension crackling in the air between them.“Your father mentioned you’d be attending the fundraiser,” Mrs. Ciara stated, her tone clipped.“Yes, I will. Is that a problem for you?” Gemini shot back, narrowing her eyes. “You little brat. If you have any ulterior motives for being there, you’d better reconsider,” her
