“Tell me about it,” I ordered Solomon, my personal assistant, inside the walls of my office. Over the past couple of months, Pink Moda has been working on a project to merge with companies so we’ll go international worldwide. I personally gave Solomon the task to investigate the shareholders of the company we planned to merge up with, “Blue Spirit.”
“Here is what I found. The figure with a very large percent is man with a very high societal prestige. No one dares to cross his part or even mess with him, sir. In fact, people believe he is involved in an underground illegal business.” He said.
“This is his picture.” Solomon added, giving me a copy of what the supposed shareholder looked like. I curved my lips in a tight smile, staring at the piece carefully.
“Is that all for now?” I asked him.
“Yes, sir.” He responded.
“You’re dismissed,”

Some situations just suddenly appeared in front of you, making you wonder how in the world you never noticed. That was exactly what was happening to me.It was insane.Very insane.The fact that I never took notice that he was Liam James’ brother was crazy. For a moment, I looked at him so surprised. Though, I knew I had to make the right confirmations.“Like real brother? Or friendship brother?” I asked him wriggling my brows at his declaration. I didn’t just want to believe that someone with his personality shared a bloodline with the almighty Liam James.Jackson laughed at my statement. His bruised face was what even made him appear adorable at the moment. “I believe you don’t see that possible in any way, sugar plum?” he asked. With my hands at the end of my jaw in wonder, I nodded my head at his question.“Then I will have to explain myself more. Liam is my step-bro. My mum married his dad years back. Since then, we've had a hard t

Surprise.That was the exact feeling that ran through my body right now. I couldn’t believe that Chloe would actually show up at my place without telling me. Thus, everything felt unreal. The moment I noticed her crying, I dropped my bag on the floor. Walking to her in total amazement, I sat beside her.“C-Chloe? Are you ok? You didn’t tell me you were coming over. I could have come home earlier if you did.” I stated, asking her. She had a pillow in between her legs. Her under eyes were stained with mascara making them look dark. She spared me a glance and I watched as tears dripped down.“Why are you crying?” With a hand on one of her shoulders, I asked.“He…” she trailed out, before gulping. She didn’t even complete the sentence.“He what? Is it Matt?” I asked her, in reference to her boyfriend. I always had a bad vibe around her boyfriend but had to pretend to be nice to see her happy. I saw her nod her head as I asked if it was Matt.
Fall in Love with a Billionaire 26. Taming The Press
It was all like I was caught between the devil and the sea. I hated too much attention and that was what the board of bosses where giving me now. Like a timid wolf, I stared at the four bosses: Boss Liam, Devereaux, Jackson and the other female whose name I didn’t even know. They all seemed pissed at me. I watched as one let out a sight. Boss Devereaux stood up first, with her attention focused on me.“Why must all bad news come from you? Are you the only model in Pink Moda?!” She yelled, making me cringe, shutting my eyes from the humiliation. I decided to say something so they’d know how this job meant to me. I didn’t want to let anyone down.“I’m sorry for what I did, Miss. May I know what went wrong exactly so I’ll try to fix it?” I stated. I heard a scoff that instant, making her give me an irritated look.“Fix? Some things are better avoided, Nikki. How in hell’s name are we going to fix this?!” It was the female

Liam had a fuming expression written all over his features. His teeth were clenched with his eyes watching me so intently. I could feel chills all the way to my bone as he slammed to the wall, raising my hands all the way to my head. He kept me in that position, glaring hungrily at me like some animal about to devour its prey. I managed to say something, in spite of me being startled at his sudden dominant act.I struggled to leave his grasp but he was stronger. Far too stronger and I detested that I looked frail and helpless.“W-What are y-you doing?” Gritting my teeth, I asked him. He grinned with a sinister chuckle, at my words that minute. One of his hands moved to my jaw, grasping them. Hissing loudly, I gave him a glare.“You prefer getting cozy at the rooftop, don’t you? Is that why you let Jack kiss you yesterday?” he asked. I immediately became so angry that instant. My hands which were above my head, snapped fisting in fury. I wis

Jackson was a controlling kind. I mean, didn’t one ask if the girl wanted to come one a date or not? Yeah, I liked him and he knew. That didn’t mean he'd take advantage of that.Ok, Eleanor.Calm your horses and stop over thinking this?I was really becoming nervous about it all. I had a date with Jackson and I needed Chloe’s help with my outfit. And, she was not in the best of moods right now. Her breakup had made her a shadow of herself.So, I pondered on what to do exactly. As an idea sprung into my head, which made me stand up abruptly. I grabbed my purse, sunshades and scarf to disguise before I stepped out of the house.I had personally called the chauffeur the company had assigned to me. After he arrived, he drove me to Chloe’s house after I had directed him to the way. I thanked him before walking to her doorstep. I pressed the door bell but no one had replied so I had no option than to enter her apartment.“Chloe?” I called out

Chloe’s PovWaking up in the night, I expected to see Eleanor beside me but she wasn’t. I know what you’re thinking…that I’m selfish. Yeah, I know. You couldn’t blame me, could you? With this breakup, I was experiencing one of the bad moments of my life and I needed some company. Being with people was better than be alone right now.When I was lonely, my mind drifted to the entire break-up and I went back to square one once again. I could cry so much for lots of minutes, even though it wouldn’t change anything between myself and Matt. Remembering the entire scene between himself and Mia made me want to puke. It fucking hurt and even threatened to rip me all apart.I needed a break. I needed a getaway. Something that’d make me forget about all this.Alcohol.I thought, standing up. I went to the fridge, opening it that instant. I looked around only to discover there was nothi

I could swear I didn’t just hear my ears. In fact, I didn’t hear right. Me and Liam? On a trip? This was nearly impossible. Gosh, this couldn’t be happening! I had to do something about it.“No, just no!” I yelled, with a reluctant and appalling expression on my face. This caused all attention to be directed to me that instant. The announcer, Mariam, who was the head of the directing department, focused her towards me too, with an alarmed expression on her face.“Is everything ok, Miss Nikki?” She asked me gently. My gaze moved to notice Liam’s. For some weird reason, there was a slightly amused expression on his face. Knowing he was definitely enjoying this; I gave a frown before speaking.“I can’t be paired with boss Liam.” I seethed. I watched the look of horror of everyone face. I knew that look. It was a look of ‘no one should double-cross the boss’ but that wasn’t the point was it?I would do anything not to go on a trip with hi

I got to the hospital afterwards to pick up mum. I was like practically the happiest person on earth right now. I mean, mum didn’t have to stay in the hospital again. Her surgery has also been successful. This made my feelings go beyond words.“Mum!” I exclaimed the moment I had seen her. She had dropped in weight from her usual self. But, at least, her mental health was no more a threat as before.“Eleanor,” Mum constructed with a warm expression written all over her features. I went to hug her immediately. She shook a little from the impact since her belongings were in her hands. “Oh… sorry let me get that!” I told her with an apologetic expression. My hands moved to get the bag she was holding. Mum looked at me with an appreciative smile. There was something about different about her face.Urrgh! I missed her.I signed some documents and she got discharged, since Liam had paid all the bills from our agreements

Liam’s Pov In the right way, Reyes had been dealt with. His properties would be seized by the government, in a few days from now. Which only meant one thing— this was it. “Red…” I trailed on my words, stretching my hands towards her. We were both inside the ambulance van, by each other’s side. Seemed like I took the most injuries, yet somehow, I had been able to wake up and fight. “Liam.” she breathed out, replying. “I-It’s all over…still unbelievable. I thought…I- thought we were all going to…” “Shhh.” I urged, placing a hand on her lip and silencing her. I couldn’t imagine ever losing her, so I couldn’t even bear to think of it. My injury was external, thankfully, she had a few scratches. But she still needed to be checked on, and thoroughly examined. In the other ambulance van was Chloe. Jackson had gone to her,

That instant, black sacks were put over my head. I struggled as I was being put in.“You don’t have to do this, you know.”I muttered. “Shut up, bitch.”Some rough voice sneered, irritatingly.I bit my lips, not knowing what step to take again.

Chloe’s PovI took an early leave to go home today, from work.I was so tired. Tired of everything.My shitty love life, and the fact that Jackson, who I presently liked, thought of us as friends and nothing else.These were my thoughts as I entered my car, zooming off at high speed. My thoughts drifted to Orange Summers—the only place that I took comfort in.“Chloe, I see you’re here again?” The bar tender called out, as I dragged a stool, sitting on it. Seemed he was used to my presence so much already.“Yeah Ray… I want four bottles of beer, please.”I ordered, bringing my phone out from my purse and settling it on the bar’s table.

He had to be joking.One morning, just as I was on my way to work, in my disguise outfit, a car pulled over beside me.I totally ignored it, but when it kept on following me, I became insanely creeped out.“HEY!

“It isn’t funny that your dad, a rich billionaire suddenly wants you back?” Chloe’s words reminisced my head. “Nope…I mean my mum lied to me, Chloe. And I, um…don’t even know if I should be trusting her again.” “Why not, she’s your mum. You should know the type of person she is by now, Eleanor.” “Don’t let some stranger, who was never present ruin that nice relationship between you both. She might not have given you the comfortable life but you turned out right,” She had stated. “I mean, look at you girl. You’re a survivor.

My thoughts were scrambled with yesterday’s incidence the minute I woke up. I remembered drinking to forget it all, but now… I wanted to sleep once more not to even think of it. Mum’s betrayal. Liam’s words about Mr. Reyes. Did she do it to protect me, like she said? Suddenly, flashbacks of last night spinned in my head. “I had a shitty day, Liam. Please make love to me,” Oh no… “We aren’t even in a relationship anymore, remember?” He had tried convincing me out of it, but I still shamelessly pushed on. “I was overshadowed by my own countenance and wishful thinking, for that I’m sorry,” “Now fuck me,” My eyes widened at my words, with my toes entangling each other. It was no wonder I felt sore in between my legs. We did make love last night, for the second time. And we did it countlessly, till we were exhausted. I hope he didn’t wake up.

I put it in my purse, walking to Orange Summers, the only place that seemed to understand me.“And one too, for me.”A familiar low baritone voice, lurked in surprisingly behind me. I looked behind me, only to see Liam clothed in his usual black expensive suit, looking as handsome and gorgeous as ever.He settled on a chair just beside me.I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.“Liam, what are you doing here?”I asked, with a sigh, almost cringing in distress.
