ISLA'S POV

The seminar was everything I had hoped for—enlightening, inspiring, and filled with some of the greatest minds in the fashion and jewelry industry. The speakers were influential figures I had admired from afar, and I soaked in every bit of knowledge they shared. But despite how much I tried to focus on the discussions, my mind kept circling back to Damian.

The revelation that he was the CEO of TItan holding unsettled me in ways I couldn't fully explain. It wasn’t just the fact that he was wealthy or powerful—it was how well he had hidden it. Why had he never mentioned this before? Why did he pretend to be just another guy interested in fashion when, in reality, he held influence over a massive corporate empire?

And then there were the bigger questions that gnawed at me relentlessly.

Why had Damian swept in at the last moment to steal Victor’s contract? Was it personal, or was it purely business?

Why was Titan Holdings hidden in the shadows of Stratos Corp? What was the con

Then, Damian let out a low chuckle. “I see. And what else did they say?” he asked, his tone laced with a hint of amusement mixed with caution.I

    DAMIAN'S POVAfter I took charge of Stratos Corp, my first priority was making it mine. The company had been my father’s legacy, but I had no intention of merely following in his footsteps. I wanted to reshape it, rebuild it, and own it completely.But from the very first board meeting, I could see they never wanted me there. The board members sat stiffly in their leather chairs, their expressions unreadable but their intentions clear. Some of them even had the nerve to insult my father’s judgment—implying that since he never publicly endorsed me as his successor, it meant I wasn’t fit to lead."If your father believed you were capable, he would have said so," one of the senior board members, Richard Langston, told me during a private meeting. His tone was polite, but his eyes held nothing but greed and calculation.Others took a more direct approach. Some of the shareholders, men who had worked with my father for decades, came to me privately with what they thought was a generous of

I live at 475 Park Avenue, Penthouse Suite, Manhattan, New York. My father just collapsed, and he isn’t breathing!”The dispatcher’s voice was steady, professional, the exact opposite of how I felt."Do you know CPR?"I hesitated. I knew CPR. But what was the point? He was already dead."Begin compressions immediately. I’ll guide you through it."I didn’t move. I just stared at my father’s body. His lifeless eyes were still open, his mouth slightly parted as if caught mid-breath. But there was no breath. No life.I knew he was gone.So I stayed there, phone pressed to my ear, waiting. Waiting for the ambulance, waiting for the inevitable.The moment the paramedics arrived, I stepped aside. They moved quickly, checking his vitals, attempting to revive a corpse.

    DAMIAN’S POVA few months after I claimed my rightful place at the helm of Titan Holdings, things finally began to stabilize. The initial resistance from the board had died down, and those who once doubted me had either learned their place or been removed—one way or another. Still, the challenges never ceased. My father had left behind a mountain of unresolved business, and while I had taken control, I found myself cleaning up more messes than I had anticipated.The world of business wasn’t as black and white as outsiders believed. Deals were never just about numbers on paper. They were built on power, leverage, and control. Every agreement had a price, every partnership had a hidden clause, and every rival had their weaknesses. I had spent months ensuring that Titan Holdings remained untouchable, keeping my enemies at bay and my allies close.But no matter how carefully I played my cards, the past had a way of creeping back in.It started with a phone call.I was in my office, review

    ISLA’S POVEver since Damian opened up to me about his father’s death, I couldn’t shake the guilt I felt for misjudging him. I had always seen him as confident, untouchable, and maybe even a little too perfect. But that night, when he spoke about the pain of losing his father, I realized just how much he had been through. Grief changes people, and in a way, it had shaped him just as much as it had shaped me.From that moment on, we started seeing each other more often. It wasn’t intentional at first—it just happened. A casual dinner here, a coincidental meeting there, and before I knew it, Damian was becoming a steady presence in my life.Then came the offer.He had casually mentioned it one evening over dinner, as if it wasn’t something that could completely change my life."You should come work for me, Isla," he had said, watching me intently. "I need someone with your vision to head the fashion division at Titan Holdings."For a moment, I thought he was joking. But when I looked in

"You found Nick?""Not just found him. He’s in my car trunkA slow smirk formed on my lips. "Good. Where did you pick him up?""He’s been living low-key in another city. I tracked his movements for two days—kept a close eye on him. But there was something strange, boss."I leaned back in my chair. "Go on.""Nick has money now. Enough to hire two undercover bodyguards. And they’re not amateurs—they move like professionals."That caught my attention. "A contractor shouldn’t have that kind of cash. And why would an innocent man need protection?""Exactly."he sighed.

The perfect place for what needed to be done.The moment Caleb called and confirmed he had Nick, I knew there was no turning back. I had to do whatever it took to get the truth out of him.Without wasting a second, I dialed Daniel’s number."We have him," I said, my voice steady.There was silence on the line for a moment before Daniel spoke.

I’ll meet you there."I ended the call, inhaling deeply. This wasn’t just about revenge anymore. It was about justice.

Now, you help us bring down Titan Holdings.”Nick swallowed hard, his bruised face contorting with panic. “I already told you the truth—what more do you want?”Daniel scoffed, stepping closer. “Your confession means nothing if we can’t use it.” He crossed his arms. “We need solid proof—documents, transactions, anything that ties Jack Lannister to the crime.”Nick shook his head frantically. “You don’t understand… The Lannisters are not people you

    DAMIAN'S POV The event was a grand display of wealth and power—just the way I liked it. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a warm glow over the room filled with New York’s most influential businessmen, politicians, and socialites. Waiters dressed in black moved smoothly through the crowd, offering glasses of champagne on silver trays.I walked through the hall with my usual composed confidence, acknowledging familiar faces with nods and brief smiles. It was the same routine—handshakes, fake smiles, subtle power plays woven into casual conversation. These events were a necessary evil, a way to keep my business untouchable in the eyes of the public.But tonight was different.Because tonight, Isla was with me.She stood beside me, poised and elegant in a Red dress that hugged her figure in just the right way—not too revealing, but enough to draw attention.

    VICTOR’S POVDamian’s house was bigger than I expected, but it wasn’t the fortress I had assumed it would be. I had imagined layers of security—armed guards patrolling every corner, motion detectors, hidden cameras in every inch of the place. But as we crept toward the house, staying in the shadows, I realized it was just like any other high-end home.There were cameras, of course, but nothing we couldn’t handle. The back entrance had a security panel, but Daniel worked fast, bypassing it in under a minute. The doors unlocked with a soft click, and we slipped inside, silent as ghosts.The interior was sleek and modern—dark wood, marble floors, and dim lighting that cast shadows across the expensive furniture. The house smelled of leather and faint cigar smoke, and for a second, I could almost hear Damian’s voice echoing in the space, giving orders like a king in his castle.We moved carefully, our footsteps barely making a sound. I led the way, knowing exactly where we were headed. Th

    ISLA’S POV The first few days at Titan Holdings had been exhausting, not just because of the workload but because I had to constantly watch my every move. I had to be Isla—the talented designer, the ambitious woman looking for a fresh start—not Isla, the woman secretly plotting to bring down the very company that had hired her. And it wasn’t easy. Damian was testing me. Victor, Daniel, and I had expected this. Damian wasn’t stupid. He wouldn’t just believe that I had joined his company because he had offered me a better job. He would suspect there was more to my presence, and that meant I had to be careful. Every word, every action had to seem natural. Still, I wasn’t here just to play it safe. I had a job to do. I had already made an impact—one of my designs had attracted a million-dollar contract, putting me in the spotlight. The executives had praised me, and even Damian had acknowledged my work. But none of that mattered. I was here for one reason—to take him down.

  • IT'S A JOB, NOT A RELATIONSHIP, MR. BILLIONAIRE    CHAPTER 77: PLAYING WITH FIRE

    ISLA’S POVWalking into Titan Holdings felt surreal. The polished marble floors gleamed under the bright lights, and the scent of expensive cologne lingered in the air. It was a world of power and precision, where people in tailored suits moved with purpose, their gazes sharp, their expressions unreadable.I kept my posture straight, chin lifted, eyes scanning everything as subtly as possible. This wasn’t just another job.I was here for a reason.Despite my confidence, a part of me couldn’t shake the unease in my gut. The feeling of being watched.It wasn’t blatant, nothing obvious, but I knew I wasn’t imagining it. There were moments when I caught a shadow moving just beyond my line of sight, or a presence lingering too long in the hallway near my office. It could have been paranoia, but I doubted it.Damian wasn’t stupid. He knew people. He read them.And right now, I was the biggest mystery in his world.The first few days were an adjustment. Damian had placed me in the design d

    DAMIAN'S POVI sat behind my desk, watching the city skyline stretch endlessly before me. The glass of whiskey in my hand remained untouched, the amber liquid catching the light. My mind, however, was far from the serene view.Isla had accepted my offer.I leaned back, tapping my fingers against the armrest of my chair. She wasn’t the type to make impulsive decisions. Which meant this was calculated. The question was—what was her angle?Victor had made his stance clear—he wasn’t backing down. I had anticipated him to put up a fight, but I didn’t expect Isla to step away from his side so easily. Unless, of course, something had happened between them. Something that pushed her straight into my hands.A slow smirk tugged at my lips. Whatever it was, I intended to find out.A soft knock came at the door before Samson stepped in. "She’s here."I downed the rest of my whiskey and stood, smoothing the sleeves of my suit. "Let’s not keep her waiting, then."Samson led the way to the executive

    ISLA'S POVI wasn’t sure why I agreed to meet him.After everything Victor had done, after the betrayal, the manipulation, and the lies, I told myself I was finished with him. I meant it when I said I wanted nothing to do with him anymore. But deep down, I also knew something else—I couldn’t just walk away. Not when I finally had the truth. Not when I had a chance to take down the people who stole my father from me.That was the only reason I was here.As I stepped into Victor’s office, my heart pounded, my mind swirling with everything that had led me to this moment. The moment I walked in, Victor and Daniel turned to me. Their faces were unreadable, but I could feel the tension in the air, thick and suffocating.Victor was the first to speak. “Isla.”I ignored him. Instead, I looked at Daniel. “Hello, Daniel.”Daniel gave me a nod, a hint of sympathy in his eyes. “It’s good to see you, Isla.”Victor exhaled sharply, clearly aware of the hostility I was throwing his way, but I didn’t

I felt like I was drowning, suffocating under the weight of everything Victor had just told me.I kept walking, not caring where I was going, only knowing that I needed to get as far away from him as possible. My hands trembled, my mind racing as I replayed his words over and over again.Nick pushed him from that building. But it was bigger than just Nick. Someone else wanted him gone.Stratos Corp was involved.Your father discovered something bad, and they took him out for it.I gritted my teeth, my nails digging into my palms as I clenched my fists. Anger coursed through my veins, hot and unrelenting. For years, I had lived with the pain of losing my father, but I never knew why. Now I did.

    VICTOR'S POVThe rooftop bar was nearly empty, except for a few scattered patrons enjoying the view of the city skyline. The soft hum of jazz music played in the background, but it did little to ease the tension coiling in my chest. My fingers drummed restlessly against the edge of my glass, the whiskey inside untouched.I had sent Isla a message an hour ago, asking her to meet me here. No explanations. Just urgency.Now, as I waited, doubt crept in.I had spent so long keeping people at a distance, burying the truth behind walls of strategy and control. But this wasn’t just my fight anymore. Isla deserved the truth. She deserved to know why she had been pulled into something far bigger than herself.The sound of heels clicking against the polished floor made me look up. Isla was walking toward me, her expression unreadable. She was wearing a fitted black coat over a sleek dress, her hair neatly styled, but there was a sharpness in her eyes.She stopped in front of the table and slid

"MOVE!" he yelled, shoving me behind cover as another bullet whizzed past, barely missing my shoulder.We hit the ground, scrambling for safety behind an abandoned car. The gunfire stopped, but the damage was already done. My pulse pounded in my ears as I stared at the broken pieces of the flash drive scattered on the pavement."Shit," Daniel cursed. "That was our only leverage."I clenched my jaw. Damian had played us. He knew exactly what we were after, and he made sure we wouldn’t get to use it against him.But I wasn’t giving up that easily.Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out my phone and
