BILLIONAIRES: Father or Son Chapter Twenty-Nine
FLORA’S POV My heart raced as I made my way to Mr. Bennett’s office. He had asked to see me after work, and I had a sinking feeling about why. If the ground could just open up and swallow me whole before I had to face him, I would take it. No questions asked. Vicky loved my designs and even asked me to create my own for Rockshire Fashion Week. I was ecstatic! After just a week working at Bennett Fashion, I had already earned a promotion. Miss Anderson’s team was full, so Vicky put me on team B, which was fine by me. Sure, no one really spoke to me, but at least I wasn’t being looked down on like before. I went from a lowly office assistant to someone with an actual place on a design team. Each time I thought about it, I had to stop myself from screaming with joy. But my happiness was quickly overshadowed by that message: Alexander Bennett wanted me in his office. Now. How on earth was I supposed to face him after that ridiculous dream I had this morning? Moaning his name out loud

FLORA’S POV Two weeks passed, and everything between Alex and me remained strictly professional. Just like he promised, he gave me all the time I needed to work on my designs, and sometimes, he even threw in a compliment or two, offering suggestions that surprisingly made sense. He had a way of making me laugh, and sometimes he would buy me lunch—much to my surprise, since I was used to fetching coffee for people, not the other way around. Still, every time I saw him, my heart would pound a little faster, and my pussy still clenched. I didn’t want to disappoint him, and I didn’t want to let those feelings ruin what was growing between us—a friendship, something I hadn’t expected. My studio was tucked away in the annex of his mansion, which used to belong to Vicky. It was far enough from the main house that some days, I wouldn’t even see him after hours of work. I only had two models because I started later than the others, but honestly, I was grateful for the smaller workload. Le

JAYDEN’S POV I watched from across the street as Flora stepped out of his car, her expression dazed, her steps slow as she made her way toward her house. My blood boiled. I’m losing my mind seeing them together like this. I hate Alex more and more with every passing second, especially for going after my wife. I knew Flora had met someone else—why else would she have so conveniently served me those divorce papers? But seeing that that someone was my estranged father made it even worse. Ever since that day she left my office, the man I asked to track her every move reported back that she had walked into The Bennett Group and then, later, ended up at Alex’s place, where she spent the night. That night, I couldn’t sleep a wink, tormented by the images of what they might have been doing. How could Flora possibly find a man twice her age attractive? But who was I kidding? I was lying to myself. Alex is handsome—no, he is the kind of handsome that makes heads turn wherever he goes, despit

ALEX’S POV I crossed a line I never should have crossed with Flora, and now I wasn’t sure if I could come back from it. After finding out Flora was married to my son, Jayden, I told myself she was strictly off-limits. But here I was, barely two weeks into trying to keep things professional, and I went ahead and ruined it all last night with one kiss. My original plan was to get Flora and Jayden back together. I had convinced myself it was the right thing to do. The position of my assistant was so that I would always be reminded that things needed to remain professional between us. Also, it was part of the plan to always get her to “bump into” Jayden—maybe rekindle whatever they had. She would accompany me everywhere—business trips, seminars, galas, socialite parties, and all the rest of those high-class events. I knew Jayden and Lisette would be at those same events. We always bumped into each other at those events, although we stayed clear of each other’s paths. I figured if Flo

ALEX'S POV Flora was right there, in the center of my office, on her knees, head bowed, looking like… well, like a damn submissive. I sucked in a sharp breath, trying to fill my lungs that suddenly felt like they had been running on empty for what felt like a whole decade." Does she even know what she is doing? I stepped inside the office and quietly closed the door behind me, the soft click echoing louder in the silence than it should’ve. She didn’t look up, but I could feel the tension radiating off her. I loosened my tie because it felt like the damn thing was choking the life out of me. "What... are you doing?" I asked, my voice sounding way too hoarse, I barely recognized it myself. Still staring down at her lap, Flora replied softly, “I wanted to apologize for my behavior last night. It was… it was out of line, and I shouldn’t have acted like that.” Last night. The memory of our kiss slammed back into my head, and I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to stash it away, but i

MELISSA’S POV I sat on the bed, tears silently rolling down my cheeks, my head bowed like a child caught breaking a precious vase. And just like a child, I was being scolded—but for something far worse than a clumsy mistake. My father was standing before me, and I could practically feel his anger radiating off him like heat from a furnace. He had always been disappointed in me, and, once again, I was proving him right. “I’m so disappointed,” he bit out, his voice like a whip. “You had one job, Melissa. Just one!” His words were sharp enough to cut glass. “But what did you do? You messed it up again, as you always do.” “I’m sorry,” I muttered, barely loud enough for him to hear. “Sorry? Is ‘sorry’ going to fix this?” He gestured toward my stomach, where the weight of my effort rested. "Is that going to take out that child from your womb? You couldn’t even keep him with a pregnancy, and now, you’re hiding in this hotel like a coward!” “I tried!” My voice cracked, desperate. “Bu

JAYDEN’S POV My driver pulled up to the curb outside Le Jardin and cut the engine. I stayed seated, inhaling deeply, trying to calm my nerves. I wasn’t thrilled about this dinner, but work demanded it. “We’re here, sir,” my driver prompted, catching my eye in the rearview mirror. “Yeah, I know,” I muttered, scanning my tablet screen absent-mindedly. Normally, Cherry would have accompanied me to something like this, but Mr. Charlse had labeled it “casual.” With another exhale, I finally stepped out of the car, mentally gearing up for what was ahead. But before I could take two steps, I heard the distinct sound of another car door opening. Out stepped Melissa, looking polished in a professional pantsuit and flashing a smile I could only describe as triumphant. My brows knitted together in irritation. Great, just what I needed. “Surprised to see me?” she asked, strutting over. I cast a quick glance around, as if anyone else might be witnessing this unwelcome reunion. “What ar

FLORA’S POV "Are you okay?" Alex’s voice pulled me back, gentle and with an edge of concern. I forced a smile, swallowing hard. "Ye… yes, I’m fine," I managed, though my voice betrayed me, trembling slightly. Before I knew it, I had downed the rest of my wine. I caught Alex glancing behind him. I didn't look up to know who it was—Jayden and Melissa were making their way toward us. My heart pounded like it was trying to escape my chest. Please, don’t let Jayden ruin this night. I focused on the champagne bottle, keeping my eyes fixed, hoping they would pass by without stopping. And they did. Jayden and Melissa walked right by, not sparing me even a glance, as if I were a stranger, taking their seats two tables away. I breathed a sigh of relief, releasing the breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. When I looked at Alex, he was watching me carefully, eyes narrowed like he could see through every last defense I had put up. “You seem tense, Ms. Roberts. Are you sure you’re alrig

JAYDEN’S POV The bright lights from the cameras nearly blinded me as I adjusted the microphone. The room was packed with reporters who were eager to pick apart every word I said. I took a deep breath. This wasn’t just about me; this was about doing what was right. "Good afternoon, everyone. I won’t take much of your time, but I felt it was necessary to come here today and address the speculation surrounding Kensington and my personal life. First, Kensington is facing challenges, and I won’t sugarcoat that. There are a lot of rumors going around, and while I can’t control what is being said, I can tell you this—we are doing everything we can to resolve these issues. We have a strong team working around the clock, and we are fully cooperating with the authorities in every way possible. "Also, I know my name has been dragged into several personal rumors about my past marriage, my relationships, and my choices. So today, I will answer your questions truthfully, once and for all, so w

JAYDEN’S POV Melissa was sitting by the vanity table when I walked back into her bedroom. She looked like she had a good cry. Good, because she would be shedding more than tears soon. I couldn’t believe all that Levi had told me, and all that I had found out in these past few days. After Levi spilled the truth, I didn’t waste a second. I dragged him straight to Oregun to confirm it. I had contacted my lawyers mid-flight. My security team had flown with us too, just in case Levi tried to pull something. The whole way there, I expected him to back down; to admit he was lying just to get money out of me. But no. if anything, he looked excited to expose her. Melissa glanced at me through the mirror, then quickly looked away like she wasn’t ready for any conversation with me. I had left Rockshire for days without telling her, after all. “You’re back,” she muttered, voice low. “Mhm,” I responded, not moving from where I stood. I was still trying to figure out where to start with her. I

MELISSA’S POV “You’re just good for nothing, aren’t you?” my father’s voice boomed through the phone. His tone was razor-sharp. “Why do you always act so impulsively? Did you expect me to hand you a round of applause after this nonsense?” I gritted my teeth, holding the phone tighter than necessary. “You wanted this,” I snapped back. “I just grabbed the opportunity!” “Can you hear yourself?” he shot back with disdain. “What about your damn wedding to Jayden? This was supposed to come after the wedding. You’re supposed to marry him first, then bring them down. Now you’ve gone and thrown the whole plan out of order!” That was when it hit me, like a slap across the face. I had screwed up. Big time. I had been so consumed by my obsession with ruining Flora that I completely forgot the wedding was supposed to come first. I shut my eyes and let out a shaky exhale as reality sunk in. How could I have been so stupid? Jayden wasn’t even going to talk about any wedding until this investigat
BILLIONAIRES: Father or Son Chapter Sixty-Eight
FLORA’S POV I had completely lost track of time. Curled up in the corner of the sofa, as far from the window as I could get, I hugged my knees and tried to untangle the storm raging in my mind. I was confused, devastated, and absolutely terrified. My phone had been ringing nonstop until I finally turned it off. Right now, the only thing I crave is peace and quiet. I had cried so much that my tear ducts seemed to have staged a protest. Now, all that was left was this hollow ache in my chest as I stared blankly into space. My mind was running a marathon, a thousand thoughts vying for attention, but none of them was helpful. A loud bang at the door jolted me out of my thoughts. My heart nearly leaped out of my chest, and I scrambled off the couch, my pulse racing like I had just heard a gunshot. I quickly glanced at the video doorbell screen. Two men were struggling by my door. My stomach dropped. I inched closer to the door, my hands trembling. When I listened closely, I realized one
BILLIONAIRES: Father or Son Chapter Sixty-Seven
ALEX’S POV I sat in my car, parked across the street from Flora’s apartment, my knuckles white as I gripped the steering wheel. Reporters flooded the place like predators waiting to pounce on their prey. My pulse was pounding hard enough to make my head throb. This entire situation was a nightmare, ridiculous, fabricated, and blown completely out of proportion. This was precisely what I had wanted to avoid, the reason I insisted on keeping our relationship discreet for now, until she had stood her ground enough. But here it was, splashed across every news outlet, feeding the public a story so salacious it didn’t even matter if it was true. Flora was no “siren” seducing her way up the corporate ladder, as they so gleefully painted her to be. Yes, she had worked as my assistant, but Bennett Fashion wasn’t even under my direct control, it was my mother’s domain. Vicky had been the one to see Flora’s talent, to recognize her brilliance, and to reward her hard work with opportuniti
BILLIONAIRES: Father or Son Chapter Sixty-Six
MELISSA’S POV I perched on the twin couch next to Lisette in the living room, feigning interest in her endless parade of wedding decoration samples. Her overly polished nails pointed at floral arrangements and seating charts while my thoughts danced gleefully elsewhere. My heart wasn’t racing from nerves, it was a pure mixture of excitement and triumph. Finally, Flora Roberts was getting the heat she deserved. And better yet, she was going down faster than I had even dared to dream. “Are you even listening?” Lisette’s sharp tone snapped me back to the present. I turned to her, unable to suppress the smug grin spreading across my face. “Have you seen the news this morning?” Lisette’s perfectly carved brows furrowed slightly. “Does it have anything to do with Kensington?” “Kind of, but it isn’t in a very bad light," I replied casually, savoring the moment. "It’s about Flora. The media’s tearing her apart, calling her out for the manipulative gold-digger she is. This is the per

FLORA’S POV I stepped out of the cab, clutching my handbag, and crossed the street toward our apartment building. Mom had called earlier to let me know she was off to work, so I knew I would have some quiet time to myself before heading to the office. It was a little past 8:00 a.m., on Monday morning, and I couldn’t stop smiling as I recounted my weekend with Alex. It had been a memorable weekend indeed. To think I had been skeptical when Vicky announced I would be going to the business conference in the company of Alex. I was practically dreading it. Now, I wish every work trip could be just the two of us. Business and... well, pleasure. The familiar dingy reception area greeted me as I walked in, exchanging pleasantries with the elderly caretaker before heading upstairs. Our apartment was on the first floor, making the elevator unnecessary, but as I climbed the stairs, my phone buzzed incessantly. I fished it out of my handbag and saw Jolly’s name flashing on the screen. Sighing

JAYDEN’S POV The city lights shimmered like scattered stars outside my hotel window. I leaned against the glass, my forehead pressed to its cool surface as I tried to untangle the mess of emotions. Sleep was very far from me tonight. Seeing Flora again wasn’t supposed to feel like this, like a sharp knife twisting in the wound of my own mistakes. How could I have been so blind? If only I had seen her potential back then. If only I hadn’t let class, status, and my family’s obsession with appearances dictate my choices. Flora could still have been my wife and the most celebrated, rising designer standing by my side tonight. The way people fawned over her tonight made me realize I had truly lost a good thing. But the way she smiled at me tonight gave me a ray of hope. Should I pursue her more? Maybe persistence would make her see me again. But regretting losing Flora was one on the list of my problems right now. I sighed heavily, looking back towards my bed where my laptop sat
BILLIONAIRES: Father or Son Chapter Sixty-Three
FLORA’S POV Alex planted soft kisses on my forehead after another mind-blowing lovemaking session. I was thoroughly and completely spent, my body was a blissful heap, and I loved every second of it. Now, he held me in his arms, cuddling me. I couldn’t even tell how long we had been here, lost in each other. “Do you feel good, flower?” Alex murmured, his voice tender as he brushed his lips against mine. I nodded, as a lazy smile tugged at my lips. “I feel great.” “It’s time to take proper care of you,” he whispered into my ear before slipping out of me and getting out of bed. “Come,” he said, extending his hand. I placed my hand in his, and he pulled me upright before scooping me into his arms. My legs instinctively wrapped around his waist, anchoring me to him. I rested my head on his shoulder, letting out a contented sigh. Tonight had been intense, and my body was exhausted in the best way possible. Alex seemed to understand everything I was feeling without me needing to say a w
