A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty: Deceit
The weekend was over and Amelia was hyped for her interview. It was the only invitation she’d gotten after all of the job proposals she’d responded to. She had informed Ryan beforehand that she wouldn’t be going to work that morning as she had her interview and she wanted to start off with a good impression. She was impeccably dressed in her best work outfit and her hair was styled to perfection.“Are you this dressed up for an interview?” Ryan growled dissapprovingly, stepping behind her and wrapping his arms around her waist.“Mmhmm…” Amelia responded, putting on her earrings.“You don’t even look this good when we go to work,” he whined, still frowning and Amelia chuckled, turning to face him.“You know that’s a lie and even if it was true, you know how badly I want to get this job and first impressions matters alot,” she tapped his nose, still smiling but it seemed his grumpy side was what she’d woken up to and it wasn’t ready to dissipate.“And you also know that you don’t have t
A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty-one: Deceit 2
The interview went smoothly and seamlessly. Jian was so impressed with Amelia’s performance that by the time they were done, he was very sure she’d be the one to be hired for the job. But knowing Amelia, she’d fight him and disagree with him if she found out he didn’t interview the other candidates. So he decided to go through his initial plans of running the interview for the other candidates that had shown up in the course of interviewing Amelia.“I’m quite impressed with your show of intelligence, Amelia,” he stated, a smile of admiration etched on his face.“Thank you,” Amelia responded, returning his smile. She’d prepared so hard for this interview and realizing at the late hour that Jian was going to be her boss didn’t deter her or make her slack. She hadn’t even considered their friendship as a factor that could influence her performance or her chances of getting the job.“As much as I’m tempted to give you this position, I know you’ll agree with me that it would be unfair to
A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty-two: Deceit 3
That day, Amelia returned home still fuming from all that had happened. She was so annoyed that her lost father decided to return to her life and even had the audacity to claim to be her dad after so many years of abandoning her even before she was born. She also couldn’t believe that Jian had tricked her. Now that she thought of it, he’d gotten her mother’s picture from Liu.As these thoughts plowed her mind, the realization that she was related to Lara and Jian struck her. She was their stepsister. It left a bitter taste in her mouth and she didn’t even want to think about how Lara would take it considering the previous drama that had risen between them all because of her relationship with Ryan. The situation was messier than it seemed and she hated being in the middle of it all.Immediately after she got home, she ran into her bedroom and flopped on the bed, the tears she’d been holding slipping free. She was deeply hurt that Liu would choose this time to find her after all she’d b
A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty-three: Deceit 4
Amelia’s heart skipped the moment she heard Ryan’s words. Could it be that he found out about her little lie? Had he been keeping an eye on her all day? She wondered while thinking of a way to get out of this hole because she knew how much Ryan hated lies and being kept in the dark especially when it concerned her. Again, thinking back to all that happened that day, she didn’t even know if she was ready to disclose such a huge issue to him. But she was wise enough to know that now that Liu was out, it’d soon be known that she was his child and whether she liked it or not, it’d become public news because she was sure if the man had finally decided to come out as her father, then he’d be ready to publicize it. “I… I’m sorry,” she finally said in a small voice, tired of hiding the truth from him. “I was going to tell you but I just wanted to go on my own and know if it’ll work out,” “What would work out?” Ryan spat out in a voice so cold that it cut through Amelia’s hurt, her soft brown
A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty-four: Deceit 5
It took a while for Amelia to finally calm down and she finally stopped sobbing. She let out a deep sigh, feeling more empty than she’d felt before but warmth spread through her from the knowledge that she was in Ryan’s arms and he believed her over the lies that the media were already spreading about her. “Is this not going to be another negative hit on your reputation? You’ve had quite a rough couple of months and this shouldn’t be happening,” she murmured, raising her head from his chest to stare into his worried eyes. A smile ghosted over Ryan’s face and he cupped her cheeks, leaning into her and kissing her softly on the lips. He rested his head on her forehead. “I don’t care about all of that, Princess. It doesn’t bother me but if you want me to, I can take care of it for you and get them to take off the fake news,” Amelia shook her head in refusal. “It wouldn’t be necessary. It’s all over the place already and it could cause a bigger scandal. I’m sorry I unknowingly dragged
A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty-five: Scandal
Lara has had a long day at work, from meeting with some renowned designers that were partnering with her brand, to interviewing the models she’d hired for the upcoming fashion show that she was planning. It was a hectic day but she was glad that everything was coming out fine and her business was gaining more ground, despite being a newbie in the fashion industry. A yawn slipped from her lips and she threw her head back, resting against the car seat. Her thoughts moved from her growing business to her father. It’s been a while since they last spoke and she knew he must have heard of her success from the news but she wanted to share it with him and tell him of her plans before they’ll be out. A small smile spread across her lips as she fished out her phone from her bag, knowing how excited her dad would be to hear about her business. He was always her biggest motivation and she wanted to make him proud.Lara grabbed her phone and as soon as the screen lit up, what greeted her was a not
A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty-six: Coming out clean
“Rumor has it that Ryan Davidson is devastated after seeing the photo of his supposed fiancee in an intimate position with the well-known Chinese Businessman, Jian Feng-Zhang. It has also been heard that the supposed fiancee, Amelia Ross, is claiming to he related to the Chinese Businessman but it’s yet to be proven and only seems to be her away of directing eyes from her so she could get her chance to elope with her new love interest as soon as she lays her hands on her share of the Davidson’s fortune. Contrary to…”Before the Entertainment news reporter could continue spitting the fabricated lies of the media house, Ryan quickly reached for the tv remote and turned it off, before tossing it to the nightstand and turning to look at Amelia, whose eyes were still on the blank tv screen with the bed covers wrapped around her body.Ryan let out a deep breath, crawling deeper into the bed and pulling her into his arms.“Y-you don’t believe them right?” Amelia asked, a gulp working its way
A Contract with the Billionaire Eighty-seven: Betrayal
“Allowing Ryan to be engaged to Amelia is one of the best decisions we’ve ever made,” Mrs. Davidson announced with a bright smile on her face as she crossed the room to sit beside her husband on the bed with a mug of tea in her hand.“I agree,” Clifford responded, sharing her joy. Li na leaned in and brushed her lips to his before returning her attention to the tv where the news of Amelia being Liu Feng-Zhang’s biological daughter was airing. “Who knew all of these rumors could end this way? I was prepared to inquire about the truth from Ryan before this news came on.”“It’s a good thing it’s been sorted out and it also means we’ll still have ties with the Zhang’s and that may even extend to our businesses and growing a larger fortune and empire because it seems Amelia is Liu’s first child and hence, an heir to his empire.”“We should celebrate this,” Li na said cheerfully. “I think we’re blessed, honey,”Clifford chuckled, seeing the excitement in his wife’s tone. When they’d initia

A Contract with the Billionaire Epilogue: A new beginning?
Epilogue: A new beginning?Amelia stood at the entrance of the magnificent church building, dressed in her flowing wedding dress, with the transparent lacy material of her veil covering her face, and Liu holding onto her arm.Two months after her visit to his home, he got well and the preparations for her second wedding ceremony began. She’d asked him to walk her down the aisle and Liu had been honored.“Ready?” he asked, flashing her a loving smile and Amelia grinned in response.“Always,” Surprising her, he leaned in and gently brushed his lips to her temple.“I’m glad I made it to this day, and that you asked me to do this,”Tears welled up in her eyes, amidst her smile but she blinked them away. Deep down, she wished her mom was there too but it was all in the past now and she had a bright future ahead of her and intended to fully enjoy it without her past holding her back.“I’m glad too,” she breathed out in a barely audible voice but Liu headed in and he gently patted her back.
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and fifteen: One family
“Are you sure you’re ready to do this?” Ryan asked Amelia for the umpteenth time as they drove through the gates of Liu’s estate in Beijing.After the incident with Lara and Benjamin, and after Ryan settled with his family, Amelia thought it was finally time to hear her father out. She recalled the words Jian spoke to her when she’d run away from Ryan after Selena showed up to destroy their wedding and she decided to give Liu a chance to explain himself. But by the time she called to set up a meeting with him in Jian’s home, her stepbrother informed her that their father was very sick and couldn’t leave his home in Beijing where he was receiving intense care from one of the renowned medical practitioners in the world. Amelia felt terrible that he was ill and they still hadn’t settled their differences. Thus, she’d insisted on seeing him, if he was up for it and she also wanted to finally introduce him to Dora.“I’m ready,” she breathed out, smiling weakly at Ryan. As if he could under
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and fourteen: The rightful heir
It’s been two months since Ryan began the search for Alan Masters, yet no traces of him have been found. At a point, his family had given up on the search and had decided to move forward. With Benjamin in prison and Ryan out of the family, there was no one to run the family’s business and no one was ready to take over because they weren’t ready to start another feud that may end terribly. Left with no option, a meeting was held and Ryan and Amelia were invited. The sole aim of the meeting was to plead with Ryan to return to the family and take up his old position as the heir and the CEO of DCL Inc.At first, Ryan had flat out refused their offer because his new business was flourishing well and he had no intentions of still working for his family or even being the sole heir of the Davidson’s empire but after many pleas from the family and Amelia, who thought he should give them a second chance to right their wrongs, he finally made a decision.He informed them that he’d take up the af
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and thirteen: Confession
Jian pushed Lara into the living room, where Amelia and Ryan were waiting for her. He stopped beside one of the sofas directly opposite the one Amelia and Ryan were seated on and tried carrying Lara from the wheelchair, to sit on the sofa but she waved him off, offering him a little smile.“Are you sure?” he arched a brow at her and she nodded.“It’s fine,”Jian exhaled and left her, taking the sofa closest to her.It’s been two months since Benjamin was apprehended and in all of that time, Lara was slowly slipping out of her pills-induced state. Although her injuries hadn’t properly healed, she was now aware of the happenings around her and was often awake for a few hours, during which she could speak with people. After the incident with Benjamin, no one was allowed in the home, except Amelia, Ryan, and the doctor who treated her.The first time she’d woken up, she’d been confused, but after her head was clear of the haziness, she told Jian of her last conversation with Benjamin, whe

It was already evening by the time Benjamin returned to the hospital. He walked into the waiting room and was about to head to Lara’s room when the nurse at the counter called him.“Hello, Mr. Davidson,”Benjamin glanced at her, annoyance radiating off him but he managed to keep it hidden, schooling his features into a concerned expression.“Are you here to see Miss Zhang again?” the nurse inquired and he stepped towards her. “Sure,”“Oh well, she’s been moved. She’s no longer here,”Benjamin’s brows furrowed and he stared at her as though she’d just sprouted a second head. The nurse saw the confused expression etched on his face and went on to clarify her words to him.“After you left in the morning, her sister and brother came to move her away. I suggest you ask them about her new location,”Benjamin tensed, his jaw clenching hard. He nodded curtly.“Thank you,”He stormed out of the hospital, his annoyance doubling as he inwardly cursed at Amelia for destroying his plans. If it wa
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and eleven: Suspicion
Amelia was singing cheerfully, swaying her hips and trying to dance to the song she was singing as she prepared breakfast. The rays of the bright morning sun streamed into the kitchen, lighting up the entire place, considering it was still early. She was preparing Dora’s breakfast. She’d woken up early to prepare her breakfast and lunch and to also prepare her for school. After Ryan had healed, they’d quickly moved out of his Manhattan penthouse and had moved over to Brooklyn, away from his family, to start up their lives and his new business. It’s been two months and things were going well for them. For now, she was just a stay-at-home mom, but she’d never been happier, with her fiance and their child. They were living a simple life, with no family members swamping them or even calling for unnecessary meetings. She’d also heard of Benjamin’s immediate take over of the Davidson’s empire on the news and she was glad that Ryan wasn’t concerned. His new business venture was going well,
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and ten: Perfectly recovered
Ryan was still shocked and trying to wrap his head around what the maid, Mia, had revealed to them. By the time they got home, Dora was already fast asleep. Amelia took her to bed while Ryan retired to their bedroom to prepare for bed, but all he did was stand beside the floor-to-ceiling window of his bedroom, overlooking the city below as he replayed Mia’s words over and over again in his head.He was so lost in his head that he didn’t hear Amelia walk into the room until she wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her body hat tightly to his back.“Don’t be too hard on yourself,” she whispered, trailing one of her hands to his chest and patting him lightly. “We’re not sure if it’s true. It might just be a misunderstanding,”Ryan let out a deep breath.“What if it's true?”Amelia was quiet, not knowing what to say.“We’re no longer safe in their midst,”“What do you want to do?” her hands fell off him and he turned around, staring intently at her.“I think we need to leave this
A Contract with the Billionaire One-hundred and nine: A fresh start
It’s been a week since Ryan was discharged from the hospital. He’d returned to his home with Amelia and Jian had stopped by to drop Dora off and to also say hello to Ryan. Some of his family members, even Lara, Benjamin, and Adeline had also stopped by to check on them. After that week of his recovery, he decided to call a family meeting to inform them of his plans. Just like he’d told Amelia at the hospital, he’d meant it and as soon as he was discharged, they’d been secretly making plans.It was the weekend and all of the Davidson family were gathered at Clifford’s home to hear Ryan out. He’d informed them that he had some important message to pass on to them. Benjamin and Adeline were also there, and so were Amelia and his daughter. Everyone wondered what he could possibly want to tell them, even his parents but only Amelia was aware of his plans.As soon as the meeting was ready to kick start, Adeline was the first to signify that she had something to say. Li na glared at her. Le
