The Billionaire's Dangerous Obsession (Nivera) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72

The bathroom mirror fopped with steam as Nivera ran the towel across her arms, her wet curls sticking to the back of her neck.

She wrapped the towel tighter around herself and stepped out into her room.

The air was cooler outside the bathroom, and the paused, expecting to find Alejandro still lingering nearby. Maybe seated at the edge of her bed. But the room was empty

She let out a soft breath, not surprised. Not disappointed either. Just… resigned.

“Of course he wouldn’t stay” she murmured, walking toward her closet. “Why would her

And yet, part of her had hoped.

Her thoughts wandered back to the early morning as the memory cling to her like the scent of his cologne on her bedsheets,

Waking up tangled in warmth, in arms that held her not possessively, but protectively.

She’d stirred in when she felt someone shaking beside her. When she found out it was Alejandro, she calmed down a bit.

But she then noticed he wasn’t shaking from the cold but from something deeper. Something darker,

That fleeting sense of safety had vanished the moment she registered the tremor beneath his skin.

He hadn’t just been sleeping. He was battling something, even in his dreams. Something that made her hand reach for him before her mind even caught

Sighing at the empty bed, she proceeded to get dressed.

She dressed quickly in a loose satin blouse and soft trousers, not bothering with anything fancy. Hor mind was too full Too busy with worry over the nightmare Alejandro had

it wasn’t a regular passing one, it seemed like it was something that he had been dreaming about over and over again because he kept on muttering, “You’re dead,” in his sleep.

When she picked up her phone, the notifications almost made her drop it.

Her name was trending.

Heart skipping, she unlocked it and pulled up the search tab.

The photos were everywhere. Her on the red carpet the night before, standing beside Alejandro, dressed in that stunning dress that made her look like she owned the world.

Videos of her on the carpet with Alejandro, the way he looked at her, and the way she laughed.

“Nivera Elton Shuts Down the Gala in Custom Esme Echelon Dress!”

“Who is she?””“That dress is insane!”

“The designer outdid herself.”

“This woman is a goddess. Why hasn’t she booked any campaigns yet!”

“Wait… wasn’t she falsely accused last year?” “She deserves a comeback.”

“Like, hello, the industry is missing out”

A sudden chime pulled her attention to her inbox.

“Termal Offer Campaign & Contract Proposal from Vonatte buternational TM

Her stomach dropped. Handy trembling, the tapped it open.

“Dear Miss Elton,

We have followed your work with interest and were deeply impressed by your presence at the gala last night. We are currently looking for lead our upcoming international campaign. Your name came highly recommended. We’d love to discuss a potential partnership

Are you available for a meeting within the next three days?”

She read through it again. Then again. A full page proposal. One of the biggest fashion houses in Europe was asking for a meeting scheduled days for discussions of a long term partnership and a chance to walk for their summer showcase

Her breath caught, and then she screamed. Loud, sharp, full of disbelief, joy and the breath she’d been holding for the past year.

Footsteps thundered up the hall, and then the door burst open to reveal Alejandro.

His hair was slightly damp, shirt unbuttoned at the throat, worry darkening his eyes.

“evera?! What happened?”

She was still holding her phone, grinning from ear to ear

“What was that?” He spoke again.

“I got an offer,” she said breathlessly. “After almost seven months.

Fuck, as she said it, it sank in that she was indeed going to get her life back.

“You scraped like someone who was attacked Alejandro hissed in annoyance.

“I was excited,” she immediately defended herself, still with a huge smile on her face. There was nothing that could kill her mood.

He narrowed his eyes. “Warn me next time

“I’ll have that in mind,” she waved dismissively.

“Look, I got a job. A real one. A real, huge one. Vonelle wants me for a campaign”

Without waiting for him to ask, she put the phone in his hand so he could see for himself.

Alejandro’s eyes scanned the message. His weased. His lips curved slightly. His plan had worked. And much sooner than he anticipated.

He handed the phone back after he was done with the message. He then made a mental note to tell Martins to look into the company to ensure that
