Accidental Billionaire Love Chapter 15
Chapter 15Ashley closed the book and sighed wistfully. It was a book that definitely deserved at least ten rereads, as it clawed out emotions from her, emotions she hid deep down so she wouldn’t break into pieces.“Was it that good?”, Ian asked her from the hammock, raising an eyebrow.“Yes, it was”, She answered simply. She needed to stare at a wall and contemplate her existence after such a story.“Good enough to make you cry six times?”, Ian asked again, this time his words were laced with mockery. Ashley felt the bristling need to defend herself. “Yes it is. And what? I’m not allowed to cry anymore? You want to ban tears now?”, She asked acidically. Ian raised his hands in placation, he hated when people cried in front of him and she did that six times, he wasn’t in the wrong to tease a little. It was probably past midnight at this point. He should have been in bed to get at least two hours of sleep before work, but as it was, he would be sleep deprived yet again because of his

Chapter 16“You are both adults, why do you squabble?”, Louis exclaimed, his clean starched suit looking tense on his shoulders. Ashley and Ian opened their mouths at the same time to argue again when Louis raised a hand.“Please young masters”, he shook his head.He collected – Snatched if Ashley had anything to say about it – the licked pancakes from Ashley and the untouched perfect pancakes and called on one of the housekeepers to dispose of them. Ashley looked on in mourning. She always felt really horrible about wasting food. She should have just let the temperamental child have it.Ian had a mighty frown on his face from being hushed in front of the leech. He was a tycoon, he was a young prodigy, he did not deserve the verbal equivalent of getting his ass beaten in front of a hillbilly.Louis distributed brand new proper pancakes into two new plates. “Enjoy young masters”, he seemed to plead.“Why do I make all this money if I have to eat pancakes I don’t even want?”, Ian asked
Accidental Billionaire Love Chapter 17
Chapter 17Ashley drove to work in her Chevrolet with a better mood than she had in three weeks. She bopped her head to an MKTO song as she drove over to her designated parking spot. There was a crumpled wad of paper in her passenger seat where Rita had forced her to write a list of pros and cons about staying married to Ian. “I'm in over my head, I’m out of my mind, thinking I was born in the wrong time!”, she belted out, turning into the university. Her new house being five minutes away was such a beautiful thing.The only pros about her marriage were the fact that she would be Rita’s sister-in-law, she could have all the luxury she wanted – live five minutes from work – and she could form connections with the rich to sponsor her important projects. However, the cons filled the page and overflowed to the back, all of which were just her nuances about Ian himself.She and Ian could only start working on it in three months time, so instead of a whole year, they could split in six mon

Chapter 18“I come with news”, Christopher said sullenly. Ashley ended her mental train and looked up at him in concern. “There’s a new professor, and Chantelle is awfully friendly with him”, Christopher grit his teeth.Ashley snickered in relief. She was expecting something awful and ground breaking, Christopher changed crushes every three days so it wasn’t that serious.“I think he parked in my spot this morning”, she said, her amusement fading. Christopher sneered.“You deserve that after laughing at me”.Ashley rolled her eyes and pretended to ignore him by grading the assignments that arrived without excuses. Christopher watched her for three seconds max before he burst again.“But really, how is your husband?”, he asked curiously. Ashley knew he was dying to hear news about how he was secretly a good guy underneath or something, all her friends being hopeless romantics really wasn’t a good decision on her part.“He’s being a pain in my ass”, she facepalmed, pushing away her lapt
Accidental Billionaire Love Chapter 19
Chapter 19Yu Zhen stood beside Ian as the man drilled rules into the heads of the other members of the board. He owned the corporation at this point, so he was in line to make changes, many of which were tied to removing Mark from their list of partners. Yu Zhen never understood the old Hills man, how did it profit him to keep giving Mark resources when he used them to take investors and customers away from them?“The Agora villa is to be remodeled into a community park”, Ian said imperiously and closed the meeting. Yu Zhen would have snickered if he didn’t know how mad Ian was about the whole thing. Mava had taken to calling him an emotionless brute in a roundabout way in every interview, and Yu Zhen knew that Ian was only this way because he was emotionally constipated and he never learned how nor saw any reason to lay all his emotions on his sleeves. So needless to say, her words and the negative opinion of the public irked him gravely. Fortunately Ian had decided to wait for thei
Accidental Billionaire Love Chapter 20
Chapter 20After a week had passed, Ashley was almost ready to give up. Ian had been nowhere near the house. She even asked Louis to tell him she was burning down all the library books to the ground, still nothing. The man had returned them back to their previous manner of zero speaking or any form of communication. What a dick move!She settled in her office chair and checked the time, it was almost 4pm, she wanted to be online in time for Mava’s big surprise. She sighed wistfully as she remembered the days where she wasn’t married to the horrid woman’s annoying ex-fiance.“I wonder what the announcement is about”, Christopher said, sneering slightly like Mava had cheated on him too. Ashley didn’t really mention that part in her stories. She only talked about her and Ian having a heart to heart, the intricacies of the whole thing were not her stories to share, but seeing as Mava had spent a month talking shit about her engagement with his hero, it was only fair that Christopher would
Accidental Billionaire Love Chapter 21
Chapter 21Two weeks later:Ashley flopped on the bed tiredly. It had been a horridly trying week. Mid-terms were always the worst for grading. Especially for her class, because these students happened to be extremely competitive, so she had to check every single word closely.She screamed into her pillow and huffed in annoyance. The one thing that the week even more trying was the fact that ever since Mava had broadcasted that stupid video, everyday had been a different battle of trying to get close enough to him to get him to even listen to her presentation. She had a week! A week to convince him; and as Rita, Yu Zhen and the guards relayed to her, his ire would only increase with time.He was losing to Mark even business wise, because the last thing she heard was about an international company looking for who to partner with. Rita told her that they thought Mark was more popular and hence the better choice. Ashley immediately believed their industry was crap. Who in their right min
Accidental Billionaire Love Chapter 22
Chapter 22The senior management of Hills corp dragged their bodies out of the meeting room tiredly. They had sat there for ten hours straight, since seven in the morning. They were weary in body and in mind, so weary that they didn’t even linger to talk to each other like they usually did. They blamed it on Lewan. The man was so focused on trying to get an emotion out of Ian that he had mentioned how well Mark was doing in recent times due to his engagement with Mava Presley. It was said in casual conversation but Ian took it personal and chaired a ten hour meeting from seven to five.None of the employees were allowed to leave until the meeting ended, no matter what their jobs were. The entire atmosphere of the headquarters of Hills corp was somber and depressing, because one man was in a bad mood. “What’s next on the list?”, Ian asked his assistant, Kevin – the one that made him discover just what would have been happening under his nose if he had gotten married. Kevin swallowed w
