After 9

An Alternate Ending to 9 Weeks The contract is satisfied. The nine weeks are over. She walked out of his penthouse for the last time, honoring the terms they'd both signed. No romantic attachments. No emotional entanglements. No contact after the end. He let her go. It's the biggest mistake Alexandre Beaumont has ever made. Now Margot is trying to rebuild a life that feels colorless without him, while Alexandre is unraveling—sleepless, reckless, and desperate. The control that once defined him is slipping, replaced by something far more terrifying: the realization that nine weeks was never going to be enough. After Nine is Book Two in the Nine Weeks series, exploring an alternate ending where love isn't enough to overcome fear... until it has to be.
