Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 90: . Unfortunately, Isabella’s mood drops moments after she arrives at work on Monday morning. Beaming, she wishes her co-workers a ‘Good Morning’ and walks to her desk, where she finds a sticky note that has Hector’s handwriting on it. ‘Please see me in the office.’ It’s not unusual that Hector leaves her notes like that, so Isabella’s still in good spirits when she knocks on Hector’s door. “Good Morning,” She greets the man cheerfully. “You wanted to see me?” “Close the door, please.” Even though Hector spoke calmly, his voice sounded very cold. Smile faltering, she obliges and nervously sits down in front of Hector’s desk. “What’s going on?” He looks at her sternly. "You said you wanted me to be honest with you, so… I’m disappointed and upset that you didn’t even feel the need to call or text me to cancel our appointment.” “What appoint–” Isabella begins, but then, it hits her.She was supposed to have dinner with Hector on

Guilt hits her like a freight train. “O-Oh my god, I’m… I’m so sorry, Hector, I… completely forgot. I was on that vacation with Archie, and–”“I saw,” Hector interrupts, folding his arms in front of his chest. “Your Instagram post was all over the internet. I hope you know that I would’ve completely understood if you had canceled, but standing me up like that without saying anything? It’s disrespectful and not something I expected of you.”She desperately tries to swallow the lump of tears forming in her throat. “I know, I’m sorry. Why didn’t you call me when I didn’t show up?”“Because I forgot my phone at home. What does it matter, though? It’s not like you could’ve teleported over here anyways. I would've still sat there like an idiot.”“I’m really sorry,” She repeats. “Can I please make it up to you? How about we go and have dinner today? Or tomorrow?”Hector knits hi

It’s the perfect opportunity to spend some time with her and beg her to talk to his grand father.Even if he willingly left the company on his own, he needed his grand father to still back him up whenever needed. Yet, Alan is still nervous when he unlocks the door to the penthouse an hour later. To avoid running into his uncle, he didn’t announce his visit beforehand, which Alan regrets when he finds the living-kitchen area completely empty. Did he mistake the time frame that his grand mother was supposed to come? However, when Alan lets his eyes roam, he doesn’t see any indication that anybody is even around. It's just way too tidy… Frowning, he opens his mouth to call for someone, but a loud yelp and a slapping sound coming from the corridor startles him. What the hell?Heart pounding
Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire .Chapter 93:.The next day at the firm, Alan immediately goes to Hector to tell him that he apologized and moved back into the penthouse. “Also, you should know that Isabella lied to uncle about you. She claimed that you were upset with her because she was supposed to have dinner with you or something.”Alan’s smile falters when Hector says, “Actually, she was supposed to have dinner with me.”“Wait, what? I thought you were mad with her because you're on my side and stuff?”“I am.” Hector lifts a hand to run his fingers through his hair. “I actually didn't give a shit about having dinner with her.”“Then… Why did you set a date with her?” “Because Archibald wanted me to befriend Isabella, so she would feel more comfortable working here. Lately, I haven’t been happy with Isabella’s performance at all, and both of them know it. Don’t tell your Archibald I told you, though. He doesn’t want you to become jealous or something since you and I are so
Ditch the Ex. Ditch the Billionaire .Chapter 94:.The first couple of days after Alan moved back home, Alan and Isabella are pointedly friendly towards one another. Even though Isabella accused Alan of avoiding him, she doesn’t exactly show any interest in spending time with him or in talking to him more than the mostly shallow, but friendly words they exchange during meals or before she leaves for work. Since Alan can feel his affection for Isabella growing whenever they do talk a little, he is relieved that they're keeping a distance from each other. At the same time, he hopes that she won’t accuse him of avoiding her or being hostile towards her again.The sooner he can execute his plan, the better...Unfortunately, everything is taking much longer than Alan expected. First, he has to wait for the perfect moment to unlock Archie’s IPad (the code is an open secret in the household) and implement Hector’s Trojan.

Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire .Chapter 95: .Chuckling, Isabella rolls her eyes. “Archie... I love you, but can you please shut up and enjoy your meal?”It seems to be impossibly hard for Archibald to accept her spoiling him like that. Worried, he mentions how expensive the filet steaks must’ve been, and although they were, she just rolls her eyes again.“Please, don’t worry about it, babe. It’s not like I’ve spent a lot of money on food lately.” When Archie still looks worried, she raises her brows seductively. “If you really want to return the favor, I do accept orgasms as a payment.”Smirking, she sees that Archibald tightens his grip on his fork. She twitches excitedly at the idea of what Archie could be doing to her after dinner, so she doesn’t waste any more time and starts eating.During the meal, Archie and Isabella don’t talk much. Instead, they mostly exchange lascivious looks. When she stretches out her leg, just barely managing to reach all the way over to press it
Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire .Chapter 96:.She doesn’t always like it, not at all, but every now and then, it’s just what he needs. Just like when she sometimes needs Archie to be rough and mean to her instead of being caring and gentle… When she was younger, she never understood why she yearned to have a loving relationship with someone who’d consider her their equal, and still occasionally liked to watch porn where one part was humiliated or degraded. She figured something had to be wrong with her, so even after she had gotten de flowered, she was reluctant to be honest about her kinks. But it didn’t take long for Archibald to find out what Isabella is into. He managed to show Isabella that it’s possible to have a loving relationship built on trust and respect, and have rough and degrading sex every now and then. As someone who identifies as an occasional ‘soft dom’, Archie is able to give her whatever she wants, whenever she wants. Just like she is able to give him what
Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire .Chapter 97:.Alan is still haunted by what he saw on the recording when he returns to the penthouse on Saturday around 2:00 p.m., torn between deeming it the hottest porn he’s ever seen and wanting to forget everything about it. Lost in his thoughts, he doesn’t acknowledge the different voices coming from the living room at first, but when he steps out of the hall, he stops dead in his tracks. Isabella is sitting on the couch, flanked by two people Alan only knows because one of them worked in the same company with him. As soon as Isabella’s other friend look at him, Alan gets hit by a hot wave of hostility. Dropping the gaming controller she was holding, Isabella jumps up from the couch, looking nervous. “H-Hey, um…” She pauses to clear her throat. “Archie had to go to work because of some IT problem, and, um… Alan, these are my friends.
