A Deal With The Billionaire CEO 256
Isabella "This Robert is quite persistent," Ava said as she joined me in watching the phone ring. There were few pop up messages that I refused to look at."How did he even get your number?" Ava asked in an irritated manner."We sort of dated for a while before I knew that he was involved with Camilla," I answered sheepishly.Ava raised a surprised eyebrow at me. I went red with embarrassment. "It was before I met Damien," I defended."That is not what surprises me, Isabella, it's the fact that he was unfaithful to you and he still thinks that he is entitled to your time," Ava said.I was grateful that Ava was here with me for the moral support. The thought of Robert coming for me was terrifying and I did not want him hurting me like he did the last time. "Where is he even calling from?" Ava asked.I shrugged. "He is the reason Camilla hates me," I told her."Please, that stuck up bitch hates everyone and everything," Ava said. I gasped a little as a smile played on my face. I had

Damien I had seen enough to last me a lifetime. I had gazed into the abyss and it had looked back into my soul. I had no idea what to do with all this information but one thing that I was sure about was that this flash drive had to be kept secret lest it got into the wrong hands.The only other person that was aware was my trusted friend and partner, Jackson. Without his help, I would have been in the dark. I had to keep this somewhere safe. Whilst I was still deep in thought, the doorbell rang several times in quick succession. Whoever was on the other side of the door must want to be let in.I got up from my room and went to check who it was. However, Isabella's father, Emilio was already about to answer it. The doorbell kept ringing and Emilio erupted."Knock it off! I am coming!" I almost laughed at him but I made sure not to make a sound as I watched him.Emilio opened the door and was about to see who it was before I heard it. The sound of a silenced pistol. Four quick shots hi

Isabella I was numb from the whole ordeal. I could not even understand what was going on. I did not ask for any of this things. All I wanted was to live peacefully with my husband but even that was too much ask. I still found it unbelievable and part of me hoped that what happened was not real.One minute, I was talking to Emilio and the next he was riddled with bullets. What even made the whole thing much more disheartening was that I knew who the shooter was. I almost fainted out of shock when Damien pulled off the mask from the shooter's face, a wave of horror and disbelief washed over me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was Robert, my ex-boyfriend, lying lifeless on the floor. The man who once claimed to love me was now a cold-blooded killer. My mind couldn't process it all. How could someone I once cared for become a murderer?Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to come to terms with the reality of the situation. A deep sense of pain and despair settled in my ch

Damien I intensely disliked talking to cops. But in this case, I was going to have to. There was no other way around it. At first I wanted my lawyers to handle all the legal issues but that was not going to be necessary.This was because, Michael had somehow wound his way into being a detective again. He had been wrongfully accused of taking a bribe. The problem was that he thought that I was behind his demotion from captain to detective."This is a crime scene now, Mr. Moretti, you are coming with me," He said and I could see the glee in his eyes. He seemed to believe that he had me cornered. I was going to change his belief system. If he wanted an enemy, I would gladly become one."I am assuming that I am under arrest?" I asked."Well, you did kill a man, so...""Evidence suggest that he came in guns blazing," I curtly replied."I will be the judge of that," He replied."I am afraid that I do not trust your judgment, after all you are not so...clean yourself," I replied with deep m

Damien I waited long enough before my lawyers burst into the interrogation room. "Took you long enough," I muttered and stood up from the steel chair. I adjusted my clothes and left with them.As I was leaving, I saw the determined look on Michael's face as I walked past him.Stryker stepped into my path, his eyes burning with fury. "This isn't over, Moretti," he spat, his voice low and menacing.I arched an eyebrow, unfazed by his threats. "Oh, I'm counting on it, Detective," I replied, my tone dripping with sarcasm. "After all, what would life be without a little excitement?"He clenched his jaw, his fists trembling with rage. "You think you're untouchable, don't you?" he growled, his voice barely above a whisper.I chuckled, a cold, humorless sound that echoed off the walls of the hallway. "Let's just say I have friends in high places," I said, my smile widening into a predatory grin.Stryker's eyes narrowed into slits as he took a step closer, his breath hot against my face. "You

Isabella Surrounded by mourners, I felt a wave of overwhelming grief wash over me. My father, Emilio, was being laid to rest, his life cut short by the senseless violence that had invaded our home. I struggled to hold back tears as I watched his casket being lowered into the ground, a final farewell to the man who had been my pillar of strength for so many years.Damien stood beside me, his hand tight around mine, offering silent support in the face of my anguish. Ava, my second mother, stood on my other side, her arms wrapped around me in a comforting embrace. Their presence was a balm to my shattered heart, a reminder that I was not alone in my grief.Amidst the sea of mourners, I couldn't help but notice the presence of enemies and adversaries. Natalia, my husband's persistent ex-lover, stood at a distance, her gaze cold and calculating. Camilla, the woman who had brought so much turmoil into our lives, lingered nearby, her expression unreadable. Even Senator Kelly, the corrupt p

Damien I took some time off work to fully be there for my wife as she mourned her estranged and deceased father. It was disheartening watching Isabella break down over and over again. Most times, she wanted to be alone and I respected her privacy.Isabella did not want me to orbit around her like she was some fragile girl but I could not help it. The stress of the grief she was going through could affect our child and that was what scared me the most.As I watched Isabella mourn her father's passing, a profound sense of guilt weighed heavily on my shoulders. Emilio's death was a tragedy that I couldn't shake off, knowing that it happened under my roof, under my watch. I wanted nothing more than to ease Isabella's pain, to take away her sorrow, but I felt utterly helpless in the face of such profound loss.Every moment with Isabella felt like walking on eggshells, afraid that any wrong word or action would only add to her grief. I tiptoed around her, offering what little comfort I cou

Damien "We need to talk," I curtly said to the other man at the end of the line. "You want to turn yourself in?" Michael asked. "And prevent you from actually doing your job? You wish," I sarcastically replied. I heard a scoff. "Why now?" "Because my life and that of my family are at stake because I want you to get the justice you've always wanted, because I am tired of looking over my shoulders, take your pick," I replied to his question. "I do not trust you, Moretti," He muttered in a hard voice. "And you think I do?" I fired back. "At least we both know where we stand," He curtly replied. I was going out on a limb here because Michael and I had a common enemy. The Founder's Association. This mysterious clique was behind numerous murders and the destruction of countless businesses and properties. The only reason I was even thinking about joining forces with the detective was that he hated the Founder's Association with as much passion as I did. He was my unwanted ally for

Damien My gaze never wavered from Vito's face as I listened to my arch nemesis. The gravity of the situation got more and more deadlier as the night wore on. The papers were still in Vito's hand as I kept the phone to my hear.My father had an inquisitive look on his face as he watched me closely. The line went dead and I put the phone back into my pocket. I collected the the contract and without breaking eye contact, slowly tore it up right in front of him.Vito's eyes widened in shock and utter disbelief. "What the fuck are you doing?" He yelled maniacally as he knelt on the floor trying in vain to join the piece of paper together in a futile attempt.For the first time in my life, I saw him for what he was. An empty barrel of a man, a pathetic and sorry excuse for a husband to my mother and a fucking dead beat piece of shit of a father. I felt nothing but contempt and disgust as I watched him scrambled across the whole floor."Do you know what you have done?!" He yelled at me as h

Isabella As Ava was pushed into the room, I felt a rush of relief flood through me at the sight of her, mingled with a fresh wave of fear for our uncertain future. She stumbled slightly, her eyes wide with shock and confusion, but when she saw me, her expression softened with a mixture of relief and concern."Isabella, darling, are you alright?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion as she hurried to my side.I reached out to her, my hands shaking as I clutched hers tightly, drawing strength from her presence despite the terror that still gripped me. "I'm scared, Ava," I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know what's going to happen to us."Ava's eyes filled with tears as she wrapped her arms around me, holding me close in a comforting embrace. "We'll get through this together, sweetheart," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."But before we could say another word, the door swung open once again, and Camilla e

Damien As I waited anxiously for Camilla's instructions, every second felt like an eternity. My mind raced with a thousand thoughts, each one more frantic than the last. Where was she keeping Isabella and Ava? What did she want from me? And most importantly, how could I save them from whatever danger they were in?The minutes ticked by agonizingly slow, the silence of the room weighing heavily on my shoulders. I felt a surge of frustration building within me, the urge to take action and do something, anything, to rescue my wife and mother from the clutches of their captors.Finally, the sound of my phone buzzing broke the silence, and I quickly grabbed it, my heart pounding in my chest. It was Camilla, her name flashing on the screen, and I answered it without hesitation."Damien," her voice came through the line, smooth and composed as ever. "I trust you've had some time to think about our situation."I clenched my jaw, my grip on the phone tightening with barely contained anger. "W

Isabella As consciousness slowly seeped back into my mind, I found myself engulfed in darkness. Panic surged through me as I struggled to make sense of my surroundings, the weight of my own fear pressing down on me like a suffocating blanket.My heart thundered in my chest as I became aware of the rough bindings cutting into my wrists and ankles, the coarse fibers digging painfully into my skin. Panic tightened its grip around my throat as I realized the full extent of my helplessness, the stark reality of my captivity crashing down on me with brutal force.Frantic thoughts raced through my mind as I struggled against my restraints, the panic threatening to consume me whole.

Damien As I strode through the familiar corridors of the office building, my mind raced with thoughts and plans. Natalia's brazen attempts to undermine me only fueled my determination. I had come too far to let her or anyone else stand in my way.But it wasn't just about me anymore. My family – Isabella, Ava, our unborn child – they were my driving force. I would do whatever it took to protect them, to ensure their safety and security. And that meant taking down anyone who dared to threaten what was mine.And now, as I sat there, surrounded by the trappings of power, I couldn't help but feel a surge of determination. I wouldn't rest until the Founder's Association was dismantled until my family was safe until Renaissance was secure.With a steely resolve, I reached for my phone and began to formulate my next move. There was no turning back now. The game was on, and I intended to win. Immersed in the intricate details of my plan, my phone suddenly rang, jolting me out of my focused s

Isabella Chopping vegetables for the lasagna, I couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort wash over me. Cooking had always been a soothing activity for me, a way to channel my thoughts and focus on something tangible amidst the chaos of life.Ava, my ever-supportive mother-in-law, stood beside me, offering gentle guidance as we prepared dinner for Damien. "Now, Isabella, remember to slice the vegetables thinly for the lasagna layers," she instructed, her voice warm and reassuring.I nodded, taking her advice to heart as I carefully wielded the knife. "Like this?" I asked, holding up a perfectly sliced zucchini for her inspection.Ava smiled approvingly. "Just like that, dear. You're a natural," she praised, her encouragement filling me with a sense of pride.As we worked side by side, Ava shared her secrets for creating the perfect steak marinade, imparting her culinary wisdom with the patience of a seasoned chef. "The key is to let the meat marinate for at least an hour," she expla

Damien I was watchful during the conference meeting. I took my time to really look at the board members sitting at the table to see if I could see a member of the Founder's Association but none were seated at this conference. Even Rose St Dumas was not present. Maybe she was preparing her cronies of corrupt businessmen and women for the final show down.Camilla Valdez was also not present but Natalia was. I could not tell what was going on in her head as she gazed at me. If her mother was one of them, did that not make her automatically part of tht fold? Was I over reaching? If the plan with the detective worked, it meant that a lot of people will inevitably get hurt. "What is the profit margin for today?" I asked as I got down to business. "Eight percent since last year," Natalia said in a professional manner. "That's lower than last two years," I said with a frown. "That was due to the Al Vegas controversy," One of the board members said. "You mean the embezzlement," I replied

Damien Returning to the office after the recent turmoil felt like stepping into a minefield, each step fraught with the risk of detonating hidden dangers lurking beneath the surface. As I walked through the familiar halls of Renaissance, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gripped me like a vice, a constant reminder of the precarious balancing act I was now forced to perform.Every interaction, every word spoken, had to be carefully calculated and measured, lest I inadvertently reveal the truth lurking beneath the facade of normalcy I presented to the world. I couldn't afford to let slip even the slightest hint of my alliance with Michael, for fear of the consequences it could bring crashing down upon us both.My colleagues greeted me with smiles and nods as I made my way to my office, their cheerful demeanor a stark contrast to the turmoil raging within me. Behind their friendly facades, I couldn't help but wonder who among them could be trusted, and who might be secretly wo
