Terms and Conditions (Dreamland Billionaires, #2)

by Lauren Asher

“Don’t go saying sweet things to me at work.” “Why not?” “Because it makes me want to do

“We could have one kid or five, so long as you only have them with me. I’ll give you the minivan life, solely if you want it.”

“Daisuki1.” His deep thrust makes me gasp. “Szeretlek2.” He presses his lips against my forehead. My pulse flutters at the gesture, sending a rush of pleasure all the way to my toes. “Ich liebe dich3.”

Ahh German in English books always makes me want to scream(both in cringe and happiness)

I knew you weren’t capable of taking care of her. I freaking knew it and I still helped you, thinking maybe you were really starting to change. That maybe you really did love her.” “I do love her. Not that I owe you any explanation.” “No, Declan. Clearly you don’t if you called her a failure like every other disappointing fuck in her life.” “Shut your fucking mouth.” “Why should I? It’s not like you ever do the same.” My jaw tightens. “I made a mistake.” “A mistake?” He laughs. “You belittled your wife until she felt as worthless as you. You made her feel small, useless, and insignificant—all because you care more about your job than the person you claim to love. So all I can say is congratulations, Declan. You spent your whole life protecting us from our father only to become just like him.”

The convo that made me read the book btw

I miss my wife.

Me too😭

“What are you doing?” “Proposing to you in the middle of a rainstorm in a Tom Ford suit.”

“Ya'aburnee1. As in you bury me. A rough translation for the way I want to leave this world before you because I can’t imagine having to go through a single day without you in it. If this last week was a preview of that kind of life, then I can assure you it isn’t a life worth living. You’re my wife and my best friend. The future mother of my children and the one place that truly feels like home. You’re the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with, not because you signed a contract, but because you love me enough to stay without one.

“I’ll give you anything you want—anything at all—so long as you give me a chance to make you as happy as you make me. A dog. A family. A home. I want it all. These are my terms and conditions, take it or leave it because I’m not open to negotiations.”
