CHAPTER 19 - I love his eyes
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ashley sighed at Emily’s childishness. The woman looked like she was old enough to give birth to Ashley, but she was acting like a petty child.
She couldn’t bring herself to care though; she had to be careful of her from now on, but she also had other things to worry about.
The two of them both headed to the kitchen. Ashley couldn’t deny that the food looked good. She just had to compliment Emily.
“The food looks so good, Emily,” she said, but Emily just grunted in response. Liam noticed this but just passed the whole thing off as her being overly protective.
Emily has been working with him for the past 7 years since he started the company. He had inherited the house from his grandmother when he was just 21 before he started the company.
He moved there after graduation and needed someone to take care of the big house and cook for him since he was always busy. Emily has been a godsend and honestly a nice person, so he d

“Is that….?” Ashley asked as the rain started falling heavily.“Yeah, it’s the rain.” Liam responded, looking worried.“It sounds heavy, though.”"Yeah, it does. Liam responded by checking the time.“It’s almost 10 p.m. already, and it looks like we lost track of time. It looks like you are going to have to sleep in my guest room tonight. I don’t think driving is going to be safe or a smart choice tonight with how heavy this rain is. Liam said with a frown.Ashley was quite shocked to hear this. She honestly didn’t feel like she had spent that long talking to Liam.“Wow, I didn’t realize that it'd been that long. I don’t have anything to change either, though, and what about our trip tomorrow morning? I still have some last-minute things to pack tomorrow morning before we leave.” Ashley said, looking worried.She wasn’t really worried about packing since she was almost done, but she also wasn’t about to tell Liam that the reason she was nervous was because she had never slept outside
Billionaire's Heart CHAPTER 21 - Will you be my new mommy?
Ashley woke up the next day feeling very hung over.“Damn, I promised myself that I will never touch alcohol again” she groaned slapping her face repeatedly.“I hope I didn’t say anything weird to him last night.” She thought to herself looking around the room that she was in.Ashley couldn’t help but blush at the thought of Liam carrying her to his guest room because she was drunk. The last thing she remembered was drinking inside the living room so Liam must have brought her to the room.“Wait, he must have thought I was too heavy” she thought to herself which spoilt her mood. Ashley has always been sensitive about her looks since high school because she was bullied.She wasn’t exactly fat but she wasn’t model thin either. She had been able to keep the weight of these days and has a health relationship with food now but she feels self-conscious most time.She had bec
Billionaire's Heart CHAPTER 22 - I want to console her
Liam felt guilty for the way he ignored her and was going through turmoil in his mind trying to decide if he should go in.He wanted to have as limited contact as possible with her father because he didn't trust him, but he also felt like her mother and siblings couldn't be so bad.As Liam stood outside the house, he couldn't help but feel torn between his distrust for Ashley's father and his curiosity about her mother and siblings. Despite his reservations, he knew that avoiding them completely might not be the best solution. He took a deep breath, steeling himself for whatever awaited him inside.She is following me to go and meet my parents when I don't have to. I should show her a little respect by going in to meet her family instead of just standing outside on the hood of my car while waiting for her to come out like a debt collector." He thought to himself."Don't overthink it, boss, just go after her." He heard Thomas, who was looking at him intently, say,."Yeah, I probably sh
Billionaire's Heart CHAPTER 23 - Ice cream
The car ride, just like any other ride with Ashley, was silent, but this time around, Liam was the only one who couldn't bear it. Thomas had a lot on his mind, mainly because of the question that his son had asked Ashley that morning.He knew it was only a matter of time before his son started recognizing the need for a mother, but he didn't think it was going to be so soon.Thomas parents have been asking him to move on and start dating someone else, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.He and Vicky had been dating since they were both sixteen years old. Education was never his thing, so he didn't go to college, but he made sure she did.Vicky was a foster child who didn't have any family, but she had the dream of becoming a best-selling author, so she went to college to major in English and minor in creative writing.Thomas could remember when she would write and have him go through every chapter. He didn't really like reading, but he started enjoying it just for her.She was abl
Billionaire's Heart CHAPTER 24 - She likes Thomas
Ashley has never felt so humbled before in her life. This was not the first time and might not be the last time that one of her siblings would be mean to her, but she didn't like the fact that Liam had to witness that."He probably thinks that I am a looser now," she thought to herself as Thomas drove them to the airport. She couldn't help but want to get out of the suffocating air inside the car.She was scared that Liam would ask questions because she honestly didn't have answers for him.Was she supposed to tell him? "Hey, you know how my family painted themselves to be a close-knit family that loves each other in the media? Well, it is fake. My father is a conniving bastard, my mother is a cold woman who ignored me, and my siblings hate me because even though I was adopted, I was the eldest, and I could end up stealing their birthright."She couldn't exactly offload all those to Liam because she was still hurt that he started ignoring her after the progress she felt like they had
Billionaire's Heart CHAPTER 25 - Family
Liam has not been able totake his eyes off her since the plane took off. She looked so cute eating the ice creame.Liam couldn't help but chuckle when she started panicking about whether his family would like her or not. She doesn't know that his parents already liked her, which was mostly because he had nevr brought anyone home to meet his parents not even Bridgette.Dilly had met her once and didn't like her so Liam figured he should probably wait for her to grow on Dilly before he brought her home because no matter what, his parents was going to consider whatever reasons Dilly have for not liking her.Sounds wierd but that was how it has always been between the two of them. They has to like whoever they are in a relationship with and could only decide not to like them for good reasons.Dilly didn't like Bridgette because she was mean to other people and seemed like she was too materialistic. Apparently, Bridgette and her friends were bad mouthing Dilly and talking about her clother
Billionaire's Heart CHAPTER 26 - She is so beautiful
Liam has always been the workaholic type. He doesn't like not doing anything productive. This was the first time, however, that he wouldn't work while he was on a plane.He didn't hate talking to Ashley instead of working, though. He surprisingly enjoyed it more. Liam couldn't help but notice the way she looks while she smiles.The way her lips curl up and her eyes squeeze in a cute way. She is also not the quiet-laughing type. She laughs out loud instead. Not in a disgusting way, of course, but in a way that pulls his heartstrings.As they continued their conversation, Liam found himself captivated by Ashley's infectious laughter and vibrant personality. He realized that he had never met someone who could make him forget about work so effortlessly.There is a part of him that is still telling him to be guarded against her, but deep down, he doesn't want to. He knows that he has to be careful, though."Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belt as we are about to land." He hea

Liam couldn't help but smile as he watched Ashley interact with his family. His mom took to her almost immediately, which was surprising, and then took it upon herself to introduce her to the rest of the family.Well, the ones that are around at the moment are mom and one of my aunts, Rachel."She looks like a nice girl," Liam's father said as he stood beside Liam."Yes, dad, she is," Liam said, staring at her.Liam probably could not tell, but he was staring at her so intently that his father had concluded that Liam really liked Ashley.Liam's parents were kind of worried because of who her father was because Liam had told them about the encounter he had with Ashley's father when he was just starting out his company, but then seeing the way he and Ashley looked at each other when they didn't know anyone was looking reassured him."If I am being honest, I was worried that she was going to be like her father, but it looks like I have nothing to worry about," Liam's dad said."You don't

Blake teased, but the pianist they hired started playing the piano, notifying Ashley that she was walking down the aisle towards him.He couldn't help but feel so captivated as he looked at her angelic face. He could tell that she looked so uncomfortable with her father holding her.She is hiding so well that no one would notice that she was uncomfortable, but Liam noticed.

Billionaire's Heart CHAPTER 38 - His cheating ex
CHAPTER 38Liam has picked up his phone more than 100 times to call or text Ashley, but he couldn't bring himself to follow through. He would admit that he has been lagging behind with work because all he has been thinking about is Ashley.It didn't help that he had not been able to find a replacement for Ethan. He had told Ethan about his promotion when he came back from Carlifonia, and to say that Ethan was happy was an understatement.It was bittersweet for Liam, though, because even though he was happy that Ethan was finally getting the recognition that he deserved, he was sad because he was losing a damn good semester.Liam had been prepared for this and even hired a new personal assistant before Ethan left. The mistake he made, though, was not interviewing them herself. Blake had been the one to interview the candidates, and for some reason, Blake chose a dumb bimbo who thinks she could get away with being incompetent as long as she could flash her boobs in front of Liam's face.

She couldn't help but feel emotional when she saw that. They made her feel included and seen, unlike her family.She has not spoken to Liam since then, though, because even though she told him that she was not mad at him for kissing Rachel, she still couldn't help but think about it, and it hurts every time.She wasn't exactly lying when she told him that she wasn't angry. She wasn't angry because she didn't have any right to be because he was not truly hers. She was hurt and humiliated, though; she also couldn't help but feel inferior to her and like Rachel would always win somehow."Uhmm Ashley?" She heard a voice call to her with an unsure voice, and she look

She had gotten a message from her father the day before, and it had put her in a bad mood.Her father was straight to the point, as always."I need you to get married to that Abott boy as soon as you can. Why are you wasting my time? Stop playing family with his family and get him to marry you. You don't want your father's business to suffer, right? Especially since I took you in when no one else would. This is the least you could do for me." Richard sent it to her yesterday after some of Liam's family arrived.She had gone with Liam to get the groceries at the supermarket, and the paparazzi must have taken some pictures of them because they had to rush out of the supe
