Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 53 : The Paris Blues
*Wiliam*After exiting the jet, I arranged for a limousine to take us to the Parisian hotel. As we drove through the city, I could sense that Lily was astounded by the breathtaking views. It was a joy watching the excitement in her eyes. I had been to Paris several times before for business meetings, but this time it was special. I had never been with someone I cared deeply for, and this trip carried a more profound sense of purpose and meaning. I had watched Lily overcome insurmountable challenges, and she deserved every new opportunity that was now opening for her. As we approached the city, Lily continued to stare at the skyscrapers and bright lights. Her eyes lit up brighter than the stars shining at night. I chuckled silently as I watched her occasionally gasping and covering her mouth in amazement. "What are you thinking? I have to know." I rested my hand under her chin and gently turned her face toward me. "I don't know whether to laugh or cry. My emotions are all ove
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 54 : On My Own
*Lily*The tension between William and me was becoming heated, and I could sense that we were headed for an argument. "William, you planned a full evening of events for us, and now you can't make any of them?" "I'm sorry, Lily. It breaks my heart that I can't go with you right now, but I’ve got to deal with this stuff at work. It can’t wait… I promise I’ll make it up to you." I could tell William was disappointed, but it didn't completely remove my frustration. "Fine. I'll explore a few smaller museums alone while you attend to your work commitments." I proceeded to grab my pocketbook and leave the hotel. "Lily, you can't go out there roaming the streets of Paris without anyone to protect you." He gently grabbed my arm, attempting to prevent me from leaving. "I will be fine, William. I saw a few art galleries on the way in and can walk to them. I'm not going to stay in this hotel all day when we’re in Paris and there’s a whole city waiting to be explored." I close
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 55 : Who is Jean?
Chapter 55: Who is Jean? William I felt deflated after talking to Grace on the phone. It was unbelievable that my stakeholders were planning a coup. Despite my anger, I knew I had to focus on other things. I needed to make it up to Lily and had already planned for us to spend time at Le Cinq. The restaurant has excellent food and a luxurious romantic atmosphere that I hope will help me regain her trust.Upon her return to the hotel, Lily approached me with a beaming smile and planted a surprise kiss on my lips. I experienced a sense of relief when she displayed affection towards me and hoped it was an indicator that she had moved past her state of agitation. "Um, are you okay?" Unsure as to why she was now calm. "Yes. I'm fine. I know I was upset earlier, but I decided I will make the best of the trip no matter what. I can only focus on what I have control over." She smiled and walked to her suitcase."I have a wonderful dinner planned for us. You are goi
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 56 : What’s Eating William?
*Lily*"William, sweetie, did you hear me?" "Huh? Sorry, what did you say?" he looked at me, surprised. "I said, what do you think about checking out a few museums after my interview tomorrow?" William appeared to be preoccupied the whole night. He seemed lost in a daze. Am I boring him? I bet it's Eva; she's probably up to her old antics again. "How's Eva?" I asked, hoping to probe for further information as to whether she's engaged in any recent behavior that may be causing the disengagement. "She's good," he nodded."Just good?" I replied with a sense of intrigue."We actually had brunch a few days ago, and she apologized for her behavior. I’d been meaning to tell you but got caught up with work. It slipped my mind." Despite William's comments about how well things were going with Eva, he still didn't appear enthusiastic, which I was starting to find odd and unlike him.I finished the rest of my dessert and tried getting him to talk again. "Oh, did I tell y
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 57 : The Interview
*Lily*The sun pierced through the curtains as the morning approached. I opened my eyes, letting it sink in that my dream was a reality. 'I can't believe I'm waking up in Paris.' I sat up and yawned, noticing that William wasn't beside me. I realized I didn’t wake up when he came to bed and wondered if he ended up sleeping on the couch.After wiping my eyes, I headed to the living room suite, curious whether William was still in the hotel. I searched the living room, guest room, and kitchen but couldn't find him.'Surely, he wouldn't have left without saying anything.' As I prepared to walk to the bedroom, grab my phone and call him, William opened the bathroom and was fully dressed. He wore a champagne-colored Fiore jacket, silk black Armani blouse, and black slacks. 'Damn! Was he being interviewed or me?' I shouldn't have been shocked by his dazzling appearance. William always dressed as if he had just stepped out of GQ magazine. "Well, don't you look handsome
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 58 : By Any Means Necessary
*William*As I waited for Lily to finish her interview, a nagging feeling in my gut was telling me that the individual she had mentioned, Jean, might not be trustworthy. Glancing down at my watch, I noticed that I had a bit of extra time before her interview ended. I needed to learn more about him.Sitting at my desk, I opened my laptop and began searching for information on Jean. Though my initial findings were limited to a few pictures of him outside art galleries across different countries, I didn't let that discourage me. I continued with my search and eventually came across some informative videos of Jean delivering lectures on various artworks within those same galleries. It was clear from the videos that he possessed an impressive knowledge of the art world, but I wasn't going to let that deter my suspicions.I studied him carefully, looking for any signs that would confirm my red flags. I could sense the deceit in his eyes, and I couldn't wait to catch him in a lie. I wou
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 59 : A Close Call
*Lily*Upon completing my interview with Allure Magazine, I glanced at my phone to see a missed call from Jean. A wave of concern washed over me as I realized that William, who is usually punctual and reliable, had not contacted me.I stood on the sidewalk and looked up and down the street. The unease in my chest was growing. My thoughts were consumed with how impressed everyone was with my interview and artwork, yet I wondered why William hadn't joined me yet. I thought about calling him, but the emotions of frustration and hurt made it hard to bring myself to do so. So, I waited, lost in thought, hoping the limo would arrive soon.After much contemplation as to whether to call William or not, I made the decision to reach out to Jean instead and ask why he called. Maybe he would like to grab a bite to eat together and catch up. I took my phone from my purse and returned Jean's call. He answered on the second ring."Hi, Jean. I'm sorry I missed your call, but I just fini
Billionaire Daddy's Little Artist Chapter 60 : Sunset in Paris
*Lily*I stared at the majestic beauty that was one of the most fantastic wonders of the world, the Eiffel Tower. Was I really here? My body felt numb and I wondered if I'd need to pinch myself to bring some feeling back to my limbs. I just couldn't believe that I was finally here able to bask in the breathtaking view of the most famous symbol of Paris, dare I even say France. My eyes swept the slight pyramidal curves of the tower that I had only ever seen in pictures. Pictures did not compare to the real thing. The four side pillars met on the second floor joining together to form a single pylon stretching vertically all the way to the top. The orange setting sun was like a beautiful backdrop behind the Eiffel Tower reflecting beautiful hues on the clouds above. I felt William squeeze my hand, bringing me back to the present after taking in such a sight. I couldn't recall if I had reached for his hand while looking at the Eiffel Tower… or had he initiated it? I looked down at
