A Woman Worth Billions Dated the Wrong Brother novel Chapter 56

Because this time-

I wasn’t here as someone’s future.

I was here as my present.

A city council member approached, praising the fundraiser initiative.

Jason spoke confidently about the public restoration effort.

Telaborated on infrastructure modernization plans.

The conversation flowed

Balanced.

Respectful.

Professional.

Not once did Jason interrupt me.

Not once did he correct me.

He amplified.

And that subtle difference did not go unnoticed.

By anyone.

As the orchestra began to play, Jason looked down at me.

“Dance with me.”

It wasn’t a command.

It was an invitation.

We stepped onto the floor.

Lights dimmed.

Music softened.

His hand settled at my waist.

Mine rested against his shoulder.

Slow. Measured.

“Everyone’s watching,” I murmured.

“Good,” he replied.

His gaze held mine steadily.

“You’re not the woman who walked into these rooms before.”

“No,” I agreed.

“You built something they can’t ignore.”

“And you chose to stand beside me.”

He didn’t hesitate.

“Always.”

The word landed heavier than it should have.

For a moment-

The gala disappeared.

The politics. The cameras. The whispers.

It was just us.

Then applause rose around us as the song ended.

Reality returned.

But something had shifted.

Not publicly.

Privately.

As we stepped off the dance floor, Pamela texted:

Trending already. Photos everywhere..

I glanced once more across the room.

Oscar was gone.

I didn’t feel like I had lost something.

I felt like I had upgraded.

Champagne

The first sign was subtle.

A warmth spreading slowly through my veins.

I had only taken two sips.

Champagne.

Light. Harmless.

Or so I thought.

Jason had been pulled aside by one of the senior investors – a gray-haired man insisting on his opinion about a controversial sculpture near the east wing of the ballroom.

“I’ll be right back,” Jason murmured near my ear.

I nodded.

I needed to sit anyway.

The music felt louder than before.

The lights… brighter.

Across the room, a waiter watched.

Not obvious.

But watching.

Jason

The investor kept talking.

Jason barely heard him anymore.

Heat surged unnaturally through his bloodstream.

His vision sharpened and blurred at the same time.

Wrong.

This wasn’t alcohol.

His instincts snapped into place instantly.

Drugged.

He excused himself abruptly.

As soon as he stepped into a quieter corridor, he pulled out his phone with steady hands despite the chemical storm building inside him.

He dialed one number.

Marcus.

Marcus answered immediately.

“Boss?”

Jason’s voice was controlled 100 controlled.

“Find Amber.”

A pause.

“What?”

“I’ve been drugged.”

Silence on the other end.

Then Marcus’s tone shifted completely.

“Where are you?”

“Hotel corridor. East wing. I’m heading to one of my suites. I can’t risk collapsing in public.”

Marcus cursed under his breath.

“Did she drink anything?”

“Yes. We were separated.”

Jason’s jaw tightened.

“Marcus.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Find her. Stay with her. Do not let anyone near her. I don’t care who it is.”

“Understood.”

“And Marcus…”

His breathing grew heavier. 1

“If anything feels off-lock the place down.”

The line disconnected.

Jason didn’t wait.

He needed containment.
