A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER EIGHT
**KALMIA'S POV**Lying in bed, my eyelids heavy with sleep, I suddenly felt someone beside me. My instincts kicked in, and my face turned to the intruder, my heart racing just that tiny bit faster in anticipation.And then, I saw him - Arrow, staring intently at me, his face set in determination."What is it, Arrow?" I asked him, firm with an unwavering gaze, my eyes searching for answers. But instead of the hesitant Arrow I was used to, he was different tonight-more confident, more assertive. His shoulders were squared, and his jaw set, giving him an air of quiet determination."It's time to perform your wifely duties," he said in a husky voice, which sent shivers up and down my spine. I was so astonished at his words and went uneasy because, in a split second, my mind went back to the previous conversations that we'd had on this very subject. We had talked it over in detail, and I thought we'd settled this question. But now, it seemed, Arrow changed his mind."I thought we had talked

ARROW’S POV"Yes, l, I can," Kalmia said confidently walking towards my desk. "Can I get the business contract file?" she asked, looking around the room.Mr. Williams, the manager shaking under pressure; quickly handed her all the necessary files. With a great deal of confidence, she showed the people present in the room.She was so confident that I was taken aback, and soon I found myself stealing glances at her as she flipped through the pages of the document."Good morning, sir," the cleaner said, breaking the spell. "Mr. Jude, our client, is here to see you.""Alright, I'll be there in a minute," I replied adjusting my clothes. He looked at Kalmia and then the other remaining six workers and sighed."I want this client to invest in our company," I said to Kalmia's face. "Kalmia, please, I would be happy if you make us proud. I know you haven't done this before, but I just believe in you," Mr. Williams said, desperation and hope so thick in his tone it almost bordered on break

ARROW’S POV"What do you mean by that, Williams? You talk to me like that?," ARROW yelled over the phone at the top of his lungs."I am very sorry sir," Williams said in a soft and cool tone. "Sir, kalmia is dying; she needsto undergo surgery, that's why I called you.""What kind of surgery?" ARROW asked gruffly. "She was fine this morning, why would she need surgery now?""Emma collapsed due to heart failure, the doctor wants to perform heart surgery," Williams calmly informed.Before speaking, ARROW paused for a moment on the other side of the line. "Inform them to proceed with the surgery," he stated, maintaining his cool tone with a touch of acceptance."Sir, they require a deposit of $10,000 before they start the surgery," Williams said with much interest.But little did he know, ARROW was about to utter a response that had nothing to do with Mia’s case:"Williams, have you scheduled all the meetings for this week?" ARROW asked in a dismissive tone."Yes, sir, I have," Williams

Mr. Jude's face softened, but his will remained strong. "Louis, I understand that you must be desperate, but I simply can't invest my 250 million dollars in a company that is not qualified. I am sorry, Louis. I am."Louis' body shook with sobs, begging, his hands clasped together in supplication. "Just this once, Uncle. Please. kalmia will die if you don't help."Mr. Jude's eyes clouded with pity, while his voice stood firmly unmoved. "I know this is serious, Louis, but I have investors and a business reputation. I have to make no compromises on standards."With only the muffled sobs of Louis breaking the stillness, the silence in the room spoke of the battle going on inside Mr. Jude-empathy versus business acumen.In an instant, Mr. Jude's face brightened.

ARROW'S POV "What do you mean by that, doctor?" I pressed urgency in my tone. I couldn't afford to lose the contract, not now. "Calm down, Mr. Arrow," insisted the doctor. "I'm afraid she isn't responding." "What do you mean, doctor?" I asked, my voice escalating. "It means she's dead," Doctor Frederick said bluntly. "Dead.?" I repeated, in a heap of shock. "Did you say Kalmia is dead?" It was as if a ton of bricks fell on me as the impact of the news hit me. My business and my contract depended on Kalmia's recovery. It was as if a tornado had swept through my mind; I mechanically reached for my phone. "I have to call her friend Sharon," I muttered. I dialed Sharon's number, my hands shaking slightly. After a couple of tries, Sharon finally picked up. "Hello, Sharon," I said with a tone of solemnity. "Hey, Arrow! What's up?" Sharon responded, fully unaware of the disastrous news. "I'm so sorry, Sharon, but your friend Kalmia just. kicked the bucket," I said rather blunt

ARROW'S POV The message was from Mr. Jude, and my heart jumped with joy. I sprang into immediate action to ensure everything was set for the meeting. "Arrow immediately went inside, instructing his workers to ensure that the conference room was spotless," I thought as I dialed the cleaner's number. "Theophilus, the conference room must be clean. Today, Mr. Jude is coming to sign the contract." Theophilus nodded and immediately got down to work. I retired to my office, where I drafted the documents I needed for signing. I collected the papers and went to the printer to photocopy each document. While the printer worked, my mind drifted away, getting the contract to what it would entail: my business scaling to greater heights. After collecting all the documents, I was told that Mr. Jude had arrived and was in the conference room. I took a deep breath and composed myself before walking into the conference room with confidence. "Afternoon, investors," I said to the people in th

"You're really going to work for Mr. Jude?"I nodded. "Yes, I am.""Where is my food?"

A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SEVENTY
ARROW’S POV There I stood paralyzed into surprise, then the words poured out of my mouth, "But I'm apologizing," where my voice had a shock between confusion and concern. I could not believe what was going on. There she was, blazing with rage, the anger between us so thick it could almost be felt as an entity of its own. Her burning gaze seared into me as she hissed at me with poisonous words. Of course she was angry, boiling angry, deep down. Tension radiated from her like waves crashing at the seashore. Breath should not break this silence; on that principle, I went out of the kitchen, leaving her all alone with her anger and resolved not to ignite that fire further. My walk to the room is greatly embarrassed by the knot formed at the bottom of my stomach. It feels like I am losing my wife; she is sneaking away from me, and I have no clue how to prevent that situation. This thought gave me the feeling of having something sharp twisted in my heart. I sat down on the edge of the be
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SIXTY NINE
JEMIMA’S POV Why do you speak like that, Arrow that I stood there with my lock of eyes to Arrow's voice an inch above whisper? The words were suspended in the following silence that accompanied my wait for his answer, pounding in my ears with anticipation. "I'm listening to myself," Arrow said confusedly. "I know what I've said," he said with narrowed eyes as he landed heavy gazes on me. He continued, "I'll be expecting a child soon." Those words hit like a bomb in my system. I felt my eyes widen, with my breath caught in my throat and staring at Arrow, and my mind whirling with their implications. "What child are you talking about, Arrow?" I asked her with a slight tremble in my voice as my heart raced with expectation. Arrow's eyes switched to mine, a note of curiosity in his voice as he asked, "So we had sex, right?" The words hung in the air because of the shared intimacy, passion that burned between us in time past. "And sex leads to fertilisation," Arrow continued, voice
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT
KALMIA’S POV I stood there, tears streaming down my face as I became angry seeing my darling old photo. I hated him. Every word made me feel guilt, accusation, and condemnation. It was cutting me, a knife stabbing through my lungs, releasing the rage inside of me whenever I got close to someone. "Oh!" I screamed at Arrow. "You can't say anything right!" It echoed off the walls down the length of the aisle. I was a mass of banshee wails across the cityscape, heart-broken, for nothing could justify how Arrow could betray me. Nothing could replicate the liveliness and bruises of reality, wrapping its arm around me, constricting my lungs, and pricking that infernal tear at the corners of my eyes. It was like sun deep in the clouds, all of them dark, beckoning. "Arrow," he said, trying to sound low and soothing, but he couldn't convince me. I wouldn't let him. I cut him off with fury in my voice. "Shut your f****** mouth, Arrow!" I spat with venom. I was stepping closer to him, fir
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SIXTY SEVEN
JEMIMA’S POV Arrow lay beside me, sweet and tender after all, sorely consumed with lust, his body languid across mine, as he slipped into dreams, the look of serenity etched on his sleeping visage, his eyelids fluttering slightly, almost as though chasing something with his subconscious. Later that evening, I woke fully tired and fatigued from the untouched spell of sweet lovemaking. Sore muscles, sensitivity of skin, and an ever-racing heart were still alive with excitement when I thought about our marriage. I turned my eyes and found Arrow lying peacefully in front of me, so calm; with every breath of his, tranquility filled the room, all on account of him. Arrow continued and sounded being, completely unaware of my gaze fixed on his forehead. With love and adoration in my heart, I leaned over him, moving with the emotions that filled my soul, kissed him on his forehead, brushing my lips lightly against his skin, so still and gently at peace, with a light kiss soft and tender. Su
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SIXTY SIX
JEMIMA’S POV "Can you just quit it, Arrow." I shouted at him, my voice desperate, and the sound waves carrying some of my vexation back to me through the walls. Desire consumed me, a fiery inferno of hunger raging through my being, arousal tingling all over my skin. "I was building my case," I admitted, my words spilling out in a rush as I put my hands down on my wet thighs. Juice was trickling down from there, sweet and sticky evidence for my reasoning. I licked my finger, letting my tongue graze the wetness of my arousal as the salty sweetness burst on my tongue. "Can we just have sex, please?" I begged, my voice thick with need. "No one is watching," I added, looking deep into his eyes, feeling the heat of my stare and the dilation of my pupils with desire. I squatted slowly down on the floor, deliberately bringing my hands to pull down his pants. My fingers brushed lightly over his skin, sending shivers running down my spine. Arrow, however, would have none of this. Imme
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SIXTY FIVE
JEMIMA’S POV Arrow's voice spoke with a layer of worry, turning into me to overview the surface of my face for any signs of distress. His searching view traveled over my lips, my cheeks, my eyes, inquiring about what might be upsetting me. "What is it, Jemima? What's the problem?" he asked, brow furrowed in concern, words nearly a whisper. I chuckled and with a sly playful smile on my lips, shook my head. "Nothing, Arrow," I said, speaking almost inaudibly, a slight teasing intonation underlying every word. Arrow's narrowed eyes bore down into me as though seeking the whole truth, racing with possibilities in his head. He turned his face towards the wall, all muscles inside rigid with expectancy, body language practically jumping to compete in a tension created by a fight against my charms. "Yes, I am, my love," my voice had a low seductive growl holding words like heavy gumdrops of longing, "I'm sick, and then the doctor said I need you as my medication." Arrow drew a little
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SIXTY FOUR
JEMIMA’S POV I was gradually coming back from slumber, blinking open my eyes with a cursory glance next to me for a familiar visage. To my dismay, however, Visha was untraceable. The expanse of the bed seemed louder in her absence, unnerving me. With fingers automatically clutching my phone, I just swiped to the notifications tab. There it was: the message that eclipsed everything. The message on the screen seemed to shout at me: "Do whatever it takes to bring Kalmia down."I remained transfixed by the message, grasping its import, and a slow smile crept onto my lips. Waves of ecstasy washed over me—my whole being swelled with purpose, and I let out a primal scream akin to that of a lottery winner. I was announcing to the entire world about my newfound resolution. Now, in my mind's eye, lay the plot-a plan to destroy the Kalmia family, to see them humbled from the altars of power. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but for me, it was justified; they were finally to be made to pay. "When
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SIXTY THREE
JEMIMA’S POV "Nincompoops," I hung the call saying, just above a simmering degree, my anger and frustration below the surface. "I'll be your frustrating Kalmia," I mumbled, low and ominous, "I can make your life a living hell." The venom flowed from my agitated heart, akin to the poisonous emotions simmering deep inside me. The voices became louder, swelling my heart with rage, thumping against my temples, and rising to the surface in anger. With phone in hand, I designed to scroll through the contacts to find someone to confide in regarding this matter. I needed a shoulder to lean on. I scrolled down the names until it lit on one- Visha- and dialed her number. The ringing did not last long, however, because there was no pickup, so I felt disappointed and worried. What if she was busy? What if she did not want to talk to me? My room looked normal but strange. Everything was serious, but the sound of my breaths was heard clearly. Then I called again and kept drumming my fingers on t
A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER SIXTY TWO
KALMIA’S POV "She's so rude, my love," I said to him, still trying to comprehend the encounter with Jemima. "I am still shocked by her behavior." I couldn't put it behind me: the way she had spoken to me was as if the words were still clinging to my consciousness like aftertaste. Arrow had a suggestion.He searched my face for signs of distress, eyes colored with undercurrents of sympathy. Gentle and soft-spoken, he said: "I think we should please call her." "I am so sorry, my love," I said, shaking my head. "I cannot talk to her. I am just too hurt by the way she spoke." The memory of her words, stupidly put, stung like a thousand angry bees. I couldn't bear to clench my teeth at her." "My love, perhaps she was out of her mind," said Arrow, trying to calm me. His voice, healer-like in its sweetness, only enhanced my anger and hurt. "No, no, my love," I replied. "I cannot." I did not want to say more; I wanted to dismiss the whole incident from my thoughts. The image of how Jemita
