Chapter Twenty-Seven.

Randall sat there, unblinking, as if someone had hit him with a truck. Allysa's words hung in the air: "Let's get married today." It wasn't what he had expected from their lunch date, not by a long shot. He didn't even know what to say to her sudden proposal, or more accurately, her veiled threat.

Her audacity was breathtaking, almost admirable in its brazenness. He saw the steely glint in her eyes, a challenge she dared him to accept.

A chuckle escaped his lips. The woman he was trying to win over was proposing to him? Wasn't it supposed to be the other way around? He shook his head in amusement.

He had been right all along. This woman was too interesting. She wasn't the first woman to propose to him, but she was definitely the first to boldly try to threaten him into it.

He rested his chin on his palm, his gaze unwavering as he studied Allysa. She didn't shy away from his intense scrutiny. Her sweet smile widened even further, challenging him to respond.

    Chapter Twenty-Eight.Bencio, on the other side of the call, was confused and suddenly depressed. He had just rescheduled his boss's appointments for half a day, a task that took so much time and energy it felt like he was dying.He was dying from contacting others to inform them of the new schedule, and now his boss was telling him to reschedule again, this time due to his sudden marriage! And it wasn't just for a day – it was a one-week delay!But who was he to deny his boss's wedding and honeymoon? He still didn't want to get kicked out of the company. He still needed money to survive in this world run by capitalism."Ah... what an unfortunate soul I am," Bencio silently pitied himself. All he could do was swallow the lump in his throat and pretend.He didn't even have the energy to think about who his boss was marrying or who would marry his boss.He didn't care and didn't dare to care. He would not risk his neck for a momentary curiosity."Cancel all my meetings for a week, at mo

  • I Kissed The Billionaire   Chapter Twenty-Nine

    Chapter Twenty-NineThe helicopter sliced through the sky, the setting sun a fiery explosion of orange and yellow on the horizon. Beneath us, Amadeus unfolded like a vibrant tapestry. Lush green parks dotted with vibrant flower beds gave way to cobbled streets lined with quaint buildings in pastel hues. The majestic Amadeus River, a serpent of silver, snaked through the heart of the city, its surface reflecting the dying light of the day.I'd been to Amadeus before, but those visits were a blur of neon lights, throbbing nightclubs, and the relentless energy of a city that never seemed to sleep. This was a completely different Amadeus – bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun, peaceful and serene. A city that held its breath, waiting for the cloak of night to fall.It didn't take long for the helicopter to descend on a neatly manicured helipad nestled amidst a sprawling estate. The manicured lawns were a vibrant emerald green, dotted with vibrant flowerbeds that burst with color –

  • I Kissed The Billionaire   Chapter Thirty

    Chapter Thirty.As our lips met, time seemed to come to a standstill, the world around us fading softly into a blur. The initial shock that coursed through my body melted away, replaced by a warm, comforting sensation enveloping us both like a soft blanket draped in tenderness. It wasn’t merely a kiss; it was a silent acknowledgment of the journey we were embarking on together, a beautiful testament to the intertwining of our lives in the most profound of ways.When we finally pulled away, breathless and a little awestruck, I saw a flicker of mischief dancing in Randall's deep blue eyes. "Did that meet your expectations?" he teased, his voice low and warm, sending delightful shivers racing down my spine.I couldn't help but chuckle, a delightful concoction of nerves and joy bubbling up inside me. "I suppose it will do for now," I said, my own teasing tone emerging, echoing his playful spirit. Somehow, the tension that had been momentarily knotted in my stomach loosened, replaced by an

  • I Kissed The Billionaire   Chapter Thirty-One

    Chapter Thirty-One.The sun shone gloriously over the sprawling garden of a mansion that had seen better days; its once-vibrant flowers were wilting slightly under the unrelenting afternoon heat. Yet, at least one thing still radiated with energy and color: Amanesis. She buzzed around the estate with the enthusiasm of a hummingbird, her vibrant dress swishing as she made her way to the office where Bencio was stationed.“Bencio, darling!” she called out with the flair of a theatrical heroine, throwing open the door without knocking. The assistant looked up, startled, as if summoned from some far, distant realm of paperwork and duty. “You will never believe the tragedy that has befallen me!”“Uh, good afternoon, Madam,” Bencio began, sliding his glasses up his nose as he attempted to shift his thoughts from spreadsheets to the whirlwind of drama that was Amanesis. “What seems to be the problem?”“Sit down, dear! You’re going to want to hear this,” she urged, waving her hand as if becko

    Chapter Thirty-Two.Sitting at the terrace of Randall's grand mansion, I watched the sun descend over the expansive estate, the golden rays glistening off the carefully trimmed maze garden that borders the property. I felt a sense of tranquility wash over me as I took in the view. But my peace was abruptly shattered by the sound of Randall’s phone ringing, followed by him snapping it up with an incredulous expression on his face.Bringing the cup of coffee to my lips, I looked at Randall waiting for him to pick up the phone.“Bencio?” Randall’s voice was laced with calmness and a hint of confusion.I leaned back in my chair, my curiosity piqued as I caught snippets of the conversation floating towards me through the warm, evening air. “Please don’t kill me,” Bencio’s voice echoed, making it hard for me to suppress a laugh. I stifled the chuckle, maintaining my composure as I watched Randall's expression turn alarmingly serious. “What do you mean my mother is coming over?” There was

    Chapter Thirty-Three.After what felt like an eternity planning the intricate details of our relationship charade, I departed the terrace with Randall’s chuckle hanging in the warm, fragrant air. The sun stood high in the sky, casting a shimmering glow across the expansive estate, filling the mansion with an air of quiet elegance.“Are you ready for the culinary emporium the maids are about to unleash?” Randall mused as I led the way back inside. The sound of commotion grew louder as we neared the kitchen—the cheerful chatter of servants echoing through the halls, punctuated by the clatter of pots and pans.“Let’s hope they’ve stocked up on enough comfort food to win over your mother,” I replied, biting back laughter. “And I still need to figure out what to do with my hair. Got anything inspiring on you?”“Can’t help you with that,” he said with a feigned look of innocence before a more genuine smile crept in. “But you’ll look wonderful in anything. Just be yourself.”As I entered my

    Chapter Thirty-Four.“Tell me, what are your future plans together?” Amanesis pressed, leaning in with the tenacity of an investigator digging for answers.“I can’t exactly predict the future,” I replied playfully, “Perhaps something simple—cooking together, leisurely strolls through flower markets, and, of course, impromptu journeys to wine tastings.” “And maybe some historical tours too?” Randall injected with feigned seriousness, his lips quirked into a half-smile. “Just to keep her well-rounded.”“I’m sure it’ll only add to my charm!” I quipped back, feeding off his playful energy.“Honestly, the way you two interact, it warms my heart,” Amanesis exclaimed, her previous strict demeanor disappearing as her protective maternal instincts began to show through. “You both deserve happiness. And Randall, don’t you dare allow anyone else to distract you from what you have here.”Randall’s expression softened slightly, and he inclining his head slightly as a grateful acknowledgment.As l

  • I Kissed The Billionaire   Chapter Thirty-Five

    Chapter Thirty-Five.The light drizzle that misted Calderon City had stopped by the time I stood in front of Randall’s penthouse, staring up at the sky through glass walls that seemed to kiss the clouds. I could hear my heart pounding, not because I was scared, but because this moment felt like a turning point I’d never expected. I tightened my grip on the suitcase in my hand, the other wrapped around a paper bag of freshly picked carnations from the flower shop — a symbolic goodbye, maybe, or maybe just a touch of home.Randall opened the door before I could even knock.His hair was slightly damp, like he’d just stepped out of the shower, and his eyes, impossibly dark and piercing, softened just a little when they landed on me. "You're here," he said, as if he hadn’t been entirely sure I would come.I nodded. "I said I would."He stepped aside, and I entered the sprawling space that was now, unbelievably, going to be my new home. The air smelled faintly of expensive cologne and laven

  • I Kissed The Billionaire   Chapter Thirty-Eight

    Chapter Thirty-Eight.Sleep didn’t come easy. I tossed under the silk sheets of Randall’s bed, the storm outside like a lullaby sung by giants. Rain traced invisible paths down the tall windows, and every clap of thunder felt like a warning from the past—a reminder that I was teetering on the edge of a truth I wasn't ready to face.Exhausted, my body refused to settle. The images from earlier replayed in my mind like a relentless highlight reel: Vivian’s smile, the scarred man, those shadowy camera feeds inside the warehouse. She had looked so comfortable in that world—confident, in control. It was like she was an actress on a stage she knew all too well.The scariest part? She hadn’t even tried to hide it. The ease with which she handed that envelope over to the man with the scar meant she didn’t expect to get caught. She was clearly involved in something much bigger than any of us had imagined, and the implications of that realization sent my heart racing, even as I lay motionless i

    Chapter Thirty-Seven.The next morning greeted me with silver skies and a low growl of thunder rumbling in the distance. A storm was rolling in—outside, and I could feel the tumult within me echoing that same ominous energy. The diary still sat unopened, resting on my nightstand like a weight I couldn't yet lift. But today wasn’t about that. I had somewhere to be. Dressed in black jeans and a fitted leather jacket, I tied my hair back into a low ponytail. Nothing fancy. Just enough to blend in, like a shadow slipping between cracks. At exactly nine o'clock, my phone buzzed with a text from Nero, a simple message: “Car’s ready.”Since dawn, Randall hadn't spoken a word to me. He’d brewed my coffee, placed it beside my plate, and then disappeared into his office as if he needed the distance. I couldn’t blame him—he hated losing control, and here I was, about to walk straight into chaos.I hesitated at the elevator, waiting for Randall to call out, to stop me. But nothing came, only the

    Chapter Thirty-Six.The penthouse was warm, its atmosphere imbued with the citrusy scent of fresh linens and the smooth undercurrent of Randall’s cologne—something woodsy and undeniably expensive, an infusion of cedar wrapped in midnight. The sun bathed the room in a soft glow, filtering through the expansive windows to cast golden light over marble floors and pristine walls. Everything was immaculate, a reflection of Randall’s fastidious nature, yet beneath its polished surface, I felt chaos swirling within myself.I sat cross-legged on the plush living room rug, half-opened suitcases scattered around me, boxes waiting to be unpacked, the diary resting in my lap like a cursed relic. The leather cover, worn with age, felt familiar yet foreign, and I let my fingers trace the initials “M.H.” — my mother's. It had been years since she'd left us, yet her presence lingered in the most unexpected ways. Old birthday cards with her elegant handwriting; a cherished recipe scrawled on a torn na
