Hired a Gigolo, Got a Billionaire

Chapter 477 Madeline's POV I'd spent the last two days organizing everything in secret. It hadn't been easy to coordinate a photo shoot at Sullivan Park without Marcus finding out-especially since he now had access to practically everything related to the park, now that I was the majority owner and we'd used his lawyers to make it all official.

Marina, the photographer, was already there with her assistant, setting up equipment near the carousel. "Madeline!" she greeted me warmly. "And this must be the dad. Marcus, right?" "That's right," Marcus said, shaking her hand politely. "I'll stay nearby while you work." 1/3 Chapter 477 Волив "Oh no," Marina said, glancing at me with a knowing smile.

It was a familiar touch, but there was something different about doing it deliberately for the camera-about turning that intimacy into something meant to last forever. "Perfect," Marina said, snapping several photos. "Now, Marcus, tilt your face toward her neck. You don't have to kiss

she asked, and I felt Marcus's warm breath against my skin, my heart instantly picking up speed. "Beautiful," Marina murmured, continuing to shoot. "You two have incredible chemistry." We went on for a while longer, Marina guiding us through poses that grew more and more intimate. Marcus sitting on the carousel floor, me between his legs, leaning back against his chest. The two of us standing, him behind me, his lips almost brushing my temple. Me facing him, looking into his eyes while he looked down

closeness as I was. "Now," Marina said, her voice softer, "I want you two to kiss. It doesn't have to be long-just... a real kiss. Can you do that?" My heart raced. Marcus looked at me, waiting
