Chapter: Chapter 23Maren collapsed into her office chair with a heavy sigh and shut her eyes. The week had been uneventful except for the fact that she had been here and there attending one meeting or the other, which was really frustrating. “Come in!” Maren answered to the soft knocking on her door. “This is the report from the last meeting in Moscow, ma'am," Louise said, tendering a few papers attached together by a paper clip. “Did you run it in the database?” “Sure, ma'am," she answered, and Maren tapped on the table for her to drop it. “And there are the conditions the party planners dropped by this morning.” Maren watched as she dropped a file of papers on her table. She drew closer and opened the file to go through it. Louise stood by and watched her boss read through silently for about a minute. "I didn't ask for all this. It's a garden party and there won't be many guests. These look like conditions for a carnival.” "These are the only kinds of services they provide ma’am” "I asked for

Chapter: Chapter 22"This was you, wasn't it?” "How nice of you to pay a visit, Mrs. Blackwood," William smiled, amusement on his face."These walls truly have missed your presence” "Oh, shut up” she walked up to where he stood in his office and pushed the paper to his chest. “What the fuck is this?" William, stunned yet amused, took the paper, looked at it and chuckled. “Who's this clown?" “Ha ha, very funny. You can call yourself a clown for all I care, but you need to stop this and at least send an email or something," she said sarcastically. "What the hell are you saying? I'd never do a thing like this. If I wanted to threaten you, there are other ways I could do that” a mischievous grin played at the corner of his lips. Maren rang her nose in disgust. This really was the worst time for his dirty, mindless words. “Alright, what makes you think I'd do this huh?" He asked to compose himself after seeing her facial expression. Now, thinking of it, Maren didn't know why it could have bee

Chapter: Chapter 21Just as she bent to get some water on her face, she felt arms wrap around her waist. She shrieked and turned around sharply, splashing water all over herself and the intruder. “Let go of me, you freak,” she said, struggling to free herself. Unfortunately, there was no one else in the bathroom to witness it. “Don't fight it, Maren,” the male voice warned. His arms tightly fastened around her. “That's what you do now? You stalk me? Hmm?" "I was already here, alright? I saw you walk in with your new friend, and I just couldn't resist this,” he confessed, referring to her entire body. Maren resisted the urge to let out the red, which threatened to appear on her cheeks. “Don't you have better things to do, William? I mean, you have Irene…” Before she could say another word, he pushed them back with his lips and she melted in his arms, letting him press her body closer to himself. ‘You really shouldn't be doing this… but it's William. We never actually separated…he made a foo

Chapter: Chapter 20“Ma’am, you have a visitor," a voice called from the other side of her room door. “Is it Louise?" She asked, not taking her eyes off from what she was doing on her laptop. “No, ma’am," the voice said and paused. “She says her name is Nella…” "What?" She was at the door before the maid could finish the name. “Did you let her in?” Maren asked as they both made their way down the stairs. “Yes ma’am. She seems like a lady of great affluence. I couldn't let her remain outside." Maren didn't reply. She was fixing her hair in a bun just right enough to make her look like a mom. “And what's this little Cutie's name?” “Mom?” Maren called as she stopped at the entrance of the sitting room. All eyes turned to Maren. Her mom was crouched in front of a little boy, making the cringiest of sounds which were supposed to flatter the boy. “What do you want?" Maren asked, facing the lady. "Maren! That's no way to welcome a guest” "I'm…I'm sorry." she rubbed her temples as her mom

Chapter: Chapter 19The private lounge of the second to the last floor was as quiet as it should be. The only sound that could be heard was the low music coming in through the speakers. Alexander was seated on one sofa, a document spread open in front of him. He seemed not to mind it as he scrolled through his phone in one hand and a glass of white wine rested in the other. Soon enough, the elevator door opened to two hefty men who seemed to half dragged a man out of the elevator with them. “Let go of me, will you? Do you know who the fuck I am? I could have you gone at the snap of my fingers” "Oh, really?” Alexander's voice came suddenly, making him shut his mouth quickly. The men roughly hurled him on his knees in front of Alexander. “Sir?" His whole body trembled as he knelt before Alexander. “Not such a talkative anymore, are you?" His eyes were still focused on what he was doing on his phone. The man was quiet. Sweat was beginning to form on his forehead despite the cold temperature the

Chapter: Chapter 18“Maren Blackwood?” A feminine voice called from behind. Maren turned sharply to view a brunette with a stature like that of a goddess. Her hair fell over her shoulders and complemented her red coloured lips. “Hi?" Maren returned. "Oh, I'm not sure we've met before," the lady said as she noticed Maren's expression, trying to remember if she knew her. “Oh, alright” Maren shrugged, relaxing her face. “Can I sit?" "Yeah, sure,” she adjusted, and the lady took her place comfortably beside her. Together, they stared ahead, watching the kids. “I'm Nella, by the way, Nella Burton. Nice to meet you.” “Yeah, same," Maren replied, unsure of what to say next. "You know, I'm a really big fan of yours,” Nella began, keeping her gaze ahead. Maren raised a brow. “Really? I don't think I've done anything worthy of having a fanbase” Nella chuckled dryly, "I just really admire your strength you know” she said and paused "You know, handling break up with your fiancé, being a single

The Billionaire's Secret: A Nasty Web of Lies
“You think I'd stoop so low to fuck servants like you do?" He yelled—
Oh, but he did!
Hear me out,
Thane Moneau, an enigmatic billionaire, gets tangled up with Lena Hayes, a charming, love-hungry young lady who asks for nothing but to be loved. She's sent to prison for a crime she knew nothing about by her husband, and that was where she'd met Thane; her prison bully. She was released ten months after to find her step sister, Mira, had taken over her marriage. With nowhere else to go after signing the divorce papers, she returned to her father's house only for the heartless man to sell her off as a maid. There again, her world and Thane's collided as her boss was Thane's irresponsible father.
Not long after, Mr Moneau senior was killed and Thane was nowhere to be found. Soon, she discovered Thane is actually a ruthless billionaire, and numerous questions filled her mind. How had such a rich man ended up in the kind of dirty prison where she was? Why did he go undercover? And how on earth was he so rich but his father lived in an average house and fucked whores for a living?
Also, what happens when Lena goes from being a wife to Adrian Devonshire, to a maid for an old man, then the personal maid to Thane who hates her guts? Will things get worse or will she thrive when unforeseen circumstances force her to get married to the ruthless, arrogant billionaire, Thane Moneau?

Chapter: Chapter 23"You've never been here before?" Lena asked as she and Alex walked down the dimly lit hallway leading to Thane's bedroom."I never said that," Alex replied, glancing around with wide eyes, captivated by the gloom. "I've been here once or twice to run errands, but every time, I wonder why he loves this much darkness." She squinted, trying to see where the hallway ended.Lena took out a single key and unlocked the door ahead of them. "I think it's kind of nice, though." She said, "It gives a sense of privacy. Cozy, even."She turned the handle of the door but noticed how quiet Alex had gone. So she turned around to see Alex standing frozen, looking at the door just a few feet away from Thane's across the hallway."What are you doing?" Lena asked, staring at Alex, who seemed to have frozen where she stood. With her arms folded across her chest. Lena recognized the door instantly, and she suddenly felt chills. "Cut it out, Alex. That's not what we're here for." She managed to say and too

Chapter: Chapter 22A chilly breeze swept across the rooftop where Thane and Dante stood, overlooking the bustling city below, and the only thing that could be heard was the exhaust pipe sounds from overspeeding cars."You think Bridget told her?" Thane asked dryly. He sat slumped in a wheelchair with a cast which supported his neck, keeping his head upright, and small plasters dotted his face, covering the remnants of his injuries. Overall, he still looked pale and sickly, and one could tell he was still recovering.Dante stood beside him, his hands in his pockets as he gazed at the dark windows of a skyscraper across the street from the hospital. "I doubt it. Bridget doesn't seem like the type to rat herself out just like that," he replied calmly. Then, after a pause, he added, "Besides, if she actually did, you did nothing wrong, you know." Thane was silent and just wished all this would go away, so he'd be back on his feet and run things the way they should."And Tessa died in the crash which you

Chapter: Chapter 21"Marie said she was the most severely injured in the crash, Lena." Alex said, gently brushing through Lena's hair later that night while they talked. "Mr. Moneau was injured by the glass, and his body was pinned when the car collided with the tree." Alex continued after a pause. "It was like Tessa was lunged forward during the crash and she'd hit her head real badly, which caused internal bleeding." Lena closed her eyes tightly, as if bracing herself against the pain of the story."She had the most glass pieces in her body, you know. And Liam, he snapped his neck-""That's enough, Alex," Lena said suddenly, her voice firm though quiet. Alex stopped mid-sentence, her hand pausing in Lena's hair. After a moment, Lena exhaled deeply, and Alex resumed brushing.The house was eerily silent. Marie had ordered everyone to bed early to honor Tessa and Liam, leaving the halls devoid of life.Marie now carried the weight of authority in the house, as Tessa's death had left Cecil unwilling to

Chapter: Chapter 20The night was pitch black and chilly when Lena got down from the car and began walking towards the entrance of the house. But Lena didn't seem to notice the chill as her messy mind provided enough warmth.'You see now that he's an asshole?' the voice in her head nagged as she placed her hand on the handle of the door. 'He couldn't even write the note himself.'"Stop it, it's the thought that counts." She whispered under her breath and entered the building, not willing to hold any grudge against Thane, as she now felt nothing but pity for him. Pushing the door open, she stepped inside and quietly shut it behind her. Turning around, she froze.Marie was standing at the base of the stairs, staring at her with an unusual gloom on her face-unusual because she'd been the most positive and supportive person around the house since the accident and she'd done her best to keep everyone's spirits up.Lena's brows furrowed in confusion as she took a step forward. Before she could speak, Alex app

Chapter: Chapter 19Lena hurriedly got down from the car as soon as it came to a halt in front of the hospital and rushed towards the entrance.The familiar smell of antiseptic and disinfectant clouded her nose, sharp and sterile as she rushed down the hallway, struggling with the food basket Marie had insisted she carried along.The morning was already slipping away, and Lena knew she was late again-a mistake she couldn't afford to repeat."Hi, good morning," she greeted a passing nurse with a quick smile before the weight of her tardiness returned, knotting her stomach. This was the second time she'd overslept and reported at the hospital later than she was supposed to. She'd received a warning from Cecil the first time and she'd promised to not do it again.But here she was, standing at the door of the ward and preparing for the worst which she knew was coming.After taking a deep breath and counting up to three, she placed a light knock on the door and gently pushed it open."Good morning, ma'am."

Chapter: Chapter 18"Thane!" Tessa yelled with furrowed brows as the car glided down the smooth, empty road."Yes?" he finally answered, looking up from his phone to meet Tessa's questioning gaze."I've been talking to you for the past seventeen minutes. Didn't you hear anything I said?" She asked, folding her arms.Thane blinked, obviously trying to recall anything she might have said. He swallowed, his gaze faltering for a second. "I caught the part about the dress not being exactly how you imagined." He guessed.Tessa's eyes narrowed, her lips pressed into a thin line. "We had that conversation whemmn we stepped out of the bridal boutique, Thane." She replied, her frustration mounting. "So I've been speaking to myself all this while?" "I'm sorry." Thane replied calmly, his fingers combing through his hair as he turned back to his phone, aiming to sit the argument out. Just as he was about to reply to a text from Dante, Tessa snatched the phone out of his hands and shoved it into her purse.He sighed
