CHAPTER 862. MY LITTLE BELOVED. A TOXIC BOYFRIENDGigi woke up feeling the warmth of Niko’s body beside her. The sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room, and her first thought was about that involuntary sensation pressing against her lower back. Embarrassment flooded her instantly, and she squeezed her eyes shut, as if that could make her disappear. But there she was, in Niko’s bed, completely naked, wrapped in his arms.Still half-asleep, Niko felt her slight movement and pulled her closer, pressing her against his chest.“Good morning, little one,” he murmured, his voice husky with sleep, but with that teasing edge that always made her shiver.Gigi bit her lip, too embarrassed to even look at him.“Are you okay?” he asked without opening his eyes. “Why are you awake? It must be really early…”“I… wasn’t sleepy,” she mumbled at last, burying her face in the pillow, feeling her cheeks burn.Niko chuckled softly and rolled over, shifting to hover above
CHAPTER 863. MY LITTLE BELOVED. Days of DiscoveriesThe days that followed felt like a bubble for Gigi and Niko, isolated from the world and locked away in the apartment. They spent most of their time in bed, on the couch, or in the kitchen, enjoying this strange new stage in which Niko found himself laughing more than ever.And it was impossible not to, because to his surprise, he discovered that Gigi was even more curious than he had imagined. Sometimes, as he stepped out of the bathroom, he could feel her gaze fixed on him, a small, playful smile on her lips. Other times, out of nowhere, she would climb onto his lap and kiss him without warning, as if she simply couldn't wait another second."And here I thought I'd have to be convincing you," Niko told her one morning when Gigi pounced on him right after breakfast, her lips urgently seeking his."I can't help it," she giggled as she pushed the dirty breakfast plates aside and climbed onto the table. "Sorry, I just like you too much
CHAPTER 864. MY LITTLE BELOVED. Challenges and BetrayalsGigi watched the frustration on Niko’s face as he went over the documents again and again, as if trying to confirm his suspicion. Finally, after a few minutes of tense silence, he let the papers fall onto his desk and ran a hand through his hair, visibly upset.“The one causing you trouble… it’s Van Beek, isn’t it?” she asked, and he let out a deep sigh before answering.“Van Beek,” he muttered, as if the name alone explained everything. “That bastard must have offered one of his miracle deals, and my potential partner’s eyes probably popped out of his head and he gave in.”“Niko, if he’s behind this…” Gigi said thoughtfully. “Couldn’t it be revenge because you broke off your deal with him?”Niko remained silent, his expression hardening. Then he stood up from his chair and began pacing the office, clearly not intending to tell Gigi the real reason he had rejected that deal.“The reason I wanted to do business with him was becau
CHAPTER 865. MY LITTLE BELOVED. A Little GeniusVan Beek smirked, enjoying every second of the exchange, crossing one arm over the other with an irritating calmness."The worst kind of pressure, Niko. My partner and I have formed a very powerful alliance, and we will do whatever it takes to push you out of the market. You know how things work— influence, resources, connections. When you have all of that, it's easy to make competitors... disappear. And believe me, you'll be the first."Niko stared at him with a mix of disbelief and restrained fury. Did Van Beek really think he could intimidate him like that? Sure, the situation was complicated, but he wasn’t the kind of man to be cornered without a fight."Do you really think you’re going to push me out of business with this little alliance of yours?" he replied, keeping his voice calm despite the rage boiling inside him. "You’re offering me thirty cents on the euro I’ve invested. That’s ridiculous! If I accept your deal, I’ll lose a f
CHAPTER 866. MY LITTLE BELOVED. Absolute satisfaction.Niko didn't even want to contain the intensity of what he was feeling at that moment. The spark could arise between them in the middle of a conversation, a joke, a fight... and quickly transform into a need that was impossible to ignore.His tongue plunged into Gigi's mouth and she received it with the same urgency, feeling Niko's body tighten against her. He was tender and protective most of the time, and other times, like that one, he just seemed to be battling to keep the monster in check.But the monster was evidently already loose, because she only heard that deep growl as he turned her around and held her open palms on the table, making her lean forward under the force of his weight.“Niko... “Gigi whispered, closing her eyes as she felt the delicious way he rubbed against her ass.And he didn't give her time to say anything else. His hands slid deftly down her body, shedding the clothing that barely remained between them, a
CHAPTER 867. MY LITTLE BELOVED. A Plan“You’re gonna have me working all night, damn it!” Logan laughed. “What am I supposed to do with the girl in my bed?”“Finish quickly like I did and tell her you’re a mogul about to go to war. Trust me, she’ll love it and forgive you for being too fast.”“Niko.”But as soon as they hung up, each of them got to work, and half an hour later, they were online, spending half the night working. When Niko finally had all the data he needed, he smiled confidently.“Buy another three percent of clean energy stocks. Do it quickly, without raising any suspicions,” he instructed his brother.“Three percent more? That’s not a small amount, Niko. Are you sure this is the right move?”“I’m sure. Trust me, Logan. I need you to move fast before Van Beek or his partner make their next move. We’re about to change the rules of the game.”Logan sighed on the other end of the line, but he knew his brother well enough to understand that once Niko was set on something,
CHAPTER 868. MY LITTLE BELOVED. The Big Leagues.The President of the Securities Commission, a burly man with graying hair and a stern expression, frowned upon hearing those words. He knew that complaints of this magnitude were not common.He took the folder offered to him with a mix of interest and concern and began reviewing it in silence."This is... serious. If this data is correct, Van Beek and his partner are in trouble," the President murmured, signaling to his assistants. "We're going to proceed with an immediate review. Give me a few minutes," he requested before stepping out, and Gigi looked at Niko in surprise."Do you really think this will work?" she whispered."This is how you play in the big leagues, baby," he replied with a confident smile. "Trust me, it’s going to work."And they confirmed it when the President of the Securities Commission invited them to sit down politely, and just five minutes later, one of his assistants walked in holding a tablet."Sir, it's confi
CHAPTER 869. MY LITTLE BELOVED. Another FlingGigi was sitting in her office, staring at Niko’s offer on her computer screen. The figures were impressive, and the proposal was even more tempting—a generous payment for her "idea," as Niko had called it. But instead of feeling completely elated, she had a mix of conflicting emotions. On one hand, there was the possibility of accepting the money and finally doing something that, as Niko said, she was good at. But on the other hand, she couldn’t shake the discomfort of knowing that if she was receiving such a large sum, it was only because she was Niko’s partner.However, before she could resolve that particular dilemma, a loud bang startled her out of her thoughts. The door to her office swung open, and before she could react, a man stormed in like a furious whirlwind.Van Beek’s face was red with anger, and his eyes held a mix of rage and desperation.Gigi’s first thought was for Niko, but she remembered he was in a meeting, so she pres
