He's Not a Billionaire Chapter 13: First night with the CEO
KRISTENThe proposition hung heavy in the air, Marcus's gaze unwavering as he awaited my response. It was clear he wouldn't take no for an answer, and the weight of the contract I'd signed, binding me to him for a year, loomed large in my mind.Living with him meant relinquishing what little independence I had left, yet in light of recent events, it seemed like the only logical choice. Besides, I reasoned, if I'd agreed to be his for a year, then surely living with him was just part of the deal."Alright," I conceded, the words leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.Marcus's expression softened, relief evident in his features. "Good choice."I offered him a tight-lipped smile, the weight of my decision settling heavily on my shoulders. As we drove on into the night, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was stepping into the unknown – and that once again, my fate was no longer entirely my own.As we pulled up to Marcus's house, the weight of my decision bore down on me like a heavy burden.

KRISTEN"Kristen," he murmured against my ear, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine. "Please, let me have you."His words hung in the air, heavy with desire and longing. Despite the intensity of our kiss, his request caught me off guard, stirring a tumult of conflicting emotions within me."I've already signed the papers, why ask?" I whispered back, my voice barely above a breathless murmur.But even as the words left my lips, I couldn't shake the feeling of uncertainty that gnawed at the edges of my consciousness. It was as if, in that moment, the boundaries between us blurred and I found myself teetering on the edge of something unknown yet undeniably intoxicating.As his fingers continued their dance inside me, I felt a surge of desire coursing through my veins, a hunger that begged to be sated. His voice, dripping with husky desire, sent shivers down my spine as he whispered sweet promises of ecstasy."Do you want more, Kristen?" Marcus's voice was a seductive whisper aga
He's Not a Billionaire Chapter 15: What to expect?
KRISTENAs I stepped into the familiar hustle and bustle of the office, I braced myself for another day of navigating through some tasks. However, today seemed to have an extra layer of tension lingering in the air, and it didn't take long for me to realize the source of it.Rihanna, with her sharp tongue and relentless knack for finding fault in everything I did, wasted no time in making her presence known. Her cutting remarks and condescending tone grated on my nerves, leaving me feeling small and insignificant.But just when I thought I couldn't bear another minute of her relentless bullying, a familiar face appeared like a beacon of hope in the chaos. Mira, with her unwavering support, allowing me to vent my frustrations and gather my thoughts before diving back into the fray.As the day wore on, I found myself counting down the minutes until I could escape the suffocating atmosphere of the office and seek solace in the comfort of Marcus's arms. Little did I know that my evening w
He's Not a Billionaire Chapter 16: Confrontations
KRISTENThe weight of Marcus's words settled over the room, and I felt a mixture of anxiety and anticipation swirling within me. All eyes were on us, waiting for our announcement to sink in.Marcus's mother, her expression a mask of astonishment, was the first to recover from the initial shock. "Married?" she repeated, her voice barely above a whisper. "But... when? And why?"Marcus squeezed my hand reassuringly, his eyes never leaving mine as he prepared to answer his mother's questions."We got married recently, Mom," Marcus explained, his tone steady despite the tension in the air. "It was a decision we made together, and one that we both believe is right for us."His mother's brows furrowed in confusion, her gaze flickering between us as she processed the news. "But why now? And without even informing us?" she pressed, her tone tinged with disappointment.I noticed Ashton, shooting a surprised glance in our direction, though he remained silent. His expression betrayed a hint of cu
He's Not a Billionaire Chapter 17: His Secrets.
MARCUSI felt someone's hand over mine, a fleeting touch that vanished as quickly as it came. Blinking open my eyes, I beheld the silhouette of a woman cradling a baby, a speeding car hurtling towards them. My instincts screamed to intervene, to swap places with them, yet my limbs weighed heavy, impeding any heroic dash.My heart thundered as the car drew closer, closer..."Marcus," a voice pierced through the chaos.Gasping for air, I found Kristen's worried gaze, her brow furrowed in concern."Kristen," I managed amidst ragged breaths."Are you okay? What's wrong--" Her words trailed off as I pulled her into a tight embrace, haunted by the specter of my dream."Don't leave me," I pleaded.I could feel her hands tapping my back as she say, "Are you having nightmares? Do you want to go home now?"What she said made me realize that we were still here in my parents' mansion, here inside my old room."It's nothing, just a bad dream," I uttered before moving slightly away from her. "We ne
He's Not a Billionaire Chapter 18: Confrontations and Confessions
KRISTENAfter the seemingly endless whirlwind of events over the past few days, I am finally back at work. I hoped that burying myself in my tasks would help me stop overthinking his mother’s decision. Yet, before we left the house this morning, his mother seized the moment to talk to me. She suggested that I should quit my job and stay at home, so Marcus could focus on their company.Yes, he finally decided to compete with Ashton.What frustrates me the most is the favor his mother asked of me. Why should I stop working so he could focus? As if I would do something crazy, or do I look like the type of girl to cause a mess? My gut tells me there's something off about this request."Seems like you're mentally absent, Ms. Sterling?" A woman's voice broke my thoughts.It was Rihanna.It would have been a relief to let out a deep sigh before testing my patience with her again, but I refrained. She's getting closer, and if she noticed, she would surely cause a scene, accusing me of disresp
He's Not a Billionaire Chapter 19: The Unwelcome Visitor
KRISTEN"How was talking with Mom? I hope she didn't act rude to you," Mira asked as soon as she saw me heading upstairs. She was waiting at the top of the stairs, looking really worried."Uhm, don't worry. She wasn't that rude. Not at all," I replied weakly.Mira stared at me, trying to gauge if I was telling the truth, but I just gave her a slight smile.After that, I went straight to Marcus's room. He wasn't here yet; he was probably spending another night at the nearest hotel due to issues at their company. Recently, before he even announced that he would be joining the company, unexpected events occurred. Many investors began questioning whether it was still safe to invest in them, as the funds were mysteriously decreasing, causing some real estate projects to be postponed. We were supposed to go back to his house—I mean, our house—but due to his hectic schedule, we couldn't. I was hoping we could as soon as possible, since I didn't want to live under the same roof as my ex and
He's Not a Billionaire Chapter 20: Unexpected News
KRISTENJust as I lost all my strength and my shirt was nearly ripped, someone suddenly barged in and landed a powerful punch on Ashton's face."You f*cking *ssh*l*! How dare you touch my wife!" he shouted, continuing to pummel Ashton's face.I heard Ashton laugh, a sinister sound that sent chills down my spine. "Why? Can't I touch someone I've already touched a few times before you?""You're going to die today, Ashton. You piece of sh*t!"I knew I had to stop them before he kill Ashton, and I didn't want him to end up in jail. But I felt paralyzed, unable to move an inch.Thankfully, Mira heard the commotion from the other room. She burst in, her face pale with disbelief, as she ran towards her brothers, who were on the verge of tearing each other apart. Marcus kept cursing at Ashton, who just laughed and taunted him with nonsense."Marcus, stop! You're going to kill him!" Mira cried, trying to wedge herself between them.That's when I started to lose consciousness, the edges of my v
