In The Arms Of Mr. Billionaire Chapter 101: UNYIELDING SILENCE.
The moment Brandon stepped into the office, his mind was locked on finding Ethan. But as soon as he entered, his intentions were thwarted by a crowd of concerned coworkers, led Becky. Since the incident, Brandon hasn't been to work and that got some of his colleagues worried as they had little access reaching him."What are you doing back at work?" Becky asked as soon as they got a moment. "You should be somewhere far away, resting on a beach, not here in the middle of this storm."Brandon chuckled, remembering Jacob's similar advice that morning. "I’m fine, Becks," he assured her with a warm smile, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead before pulling her into a comforting hug.Becky stayed close as he gently dismissed the well-meaning but overwhelming attention of other colleagues who crowded around him. "Where’s Mr. Asher?" he asked as they made their way to his office floor."He's been in back-to-back meetings all morning," Becky replied, her voice tinged with fatigue. "I had to b

Henry Cole was sixty-five, showing the demeanor of someone who had seen it all and had no time for trivialities. His graying hair was meticulously combed back, his tailored suit was impeccable, and his wire-rimmed glasses perched sternly on the bridge of his nose, making him look both scary and unreadable. Years of experience lined his face, but there was also a sharpness in his eyes that suggested a man who brooked no nonsense.Brandon knocked gently on the door and was promptly ushered in. Henry was seated behind his desk, surrounded by neatly stacked files and several screens displaying complex data streams. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked up from his work.“What is it?” Henry’s voice was brusque, a man not used to having his time wasted.Brandon stepped forward, holding Henry’s gaze. “I’ve been going through the reports, and I noticed some errors. There are inconsistencies in the data that don’t quite add up.”Henry’s expression darkened instantly. “Errors?” he repeated. “

“Have you seen Mr. Asher?” the tall redhead asked, her voice laced with so much excitement.Immediately, the others blushed and broke into a chorus of flustered agreement.Brandon mentally rolled his eyes. "Great," he thought, *just what I need—a bunch of Ethan’s fan girls."“He’s so hot,” the blonde one gushed, her eyes wide with admiration.“I would fuck him for free if only he would give me an audience with him for just one night,” the shorter one added, and the group dissolved into laughter.Brandon’s hand balled into a fist, trying to keep his irritation in check. He wasn’t in the mood to deal with more people drooling over Ethan or gossipers who spend them time on frivolous conversations instead of working. "Not again," he thought. These women didn’t know Ethan the way he did, and the idea of them lusting after him made his blood boil.“And he’s rich, smart, eloquent, fashionable. He’s a whole package. His girlfriend must be lucky,” another chimed in, this one wheeling a small s

Brandon rolled his eyes, but a grin tugged at his lips. “And here I was thinking you were busy with meetings all day.”“I was,” Ethan admitted, reaching out to gently grasp Brandon’s wrist, pulling him even closer. “But I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I needed to see you.”Brandon’s heart fluttered at the admission. Ethan could be so guarded, so composed, but moments like this reminded him that beneath the carefully crafted exterior, there was a man who cared deeply—who cared about him.Ethan’s touch made Brandon's knees turn to jelly, and he found himself leaning into the warmth of Ethan’s body. “I missed you too,” he murmured, the words slipping out before he could stop them.“You wouldn’t believe the kind of conversation I just had in the elevator,” Brandon muttered against Ethan’s neck, his hands gripping his back.Ethan pulled back slightly, a curious glint in his eyes. “Oh? Do tell.”Brandon sighed, hating that he was about to re-live the moment by telling him about it. “Fiv
In The Arms Of Mr. Billionaire Chapter 105: PLAY DIRTY.
Ethan sat behind his desk, watching Brandon with a soft smile as he casually Brandon stare at the countless awards and books adorning the shelves. Each gleaming trophy and hardcover spine was beautiful."This is new," Brandon murmured, running his fingers over a row of freshly polished plaques. “You don’t strike me as the reading type," he motioned to the recent additions.Ethan chuckled, the kind of laughter that wasn’t just a sound but an expression of pure joy. His eyes sparkled, the lines around them crinkling as his white, perfect teeth flashed in a wide grin. “I read, baby. That’s all I do.”Brandon’s gaze fell to Ethan’s wrist, catching sight of the watch he had gifted him on his return from Greece. It was a small thing, a simple accessory, but seeing it on Ethan’s wrist made Brandon feel like he was a part of Ethan’s every moment, even when they weren’t together. He walked over, his heart fluttering, and without thinking, leaned down to kiss him.Ethan looked up, pleasantly su
In The Arms Of Mr. Billionaire Chapter 106: BE MINE?
Brandon stood by the window, sipping orange juice, his gaze drifting to the street below. The sight of men parading outside his home, some posted by the apartment door, others stationed in a van across the street, unnerved him. He wasn't used to this level of surveillance, this constant reminder that his life had changed. Britney, sitting beside him, scrolling through her phone after a long day, seemed unfazed. She had already adapted, looking as if she’d been accustomed to this level of attention for a long time.With a quiet sigh, Brandon let the curtain fall back into place and moved to sit next to her. "How was school? How did you manage with security trailing behind you all day?"Britney barely glanced up, her fingers still tapping at her phone. "Easy-peasy. Everyone stared. People talked. I didn’t care. Got through my day like it was any other."Brandon nodded, though a faint unease remained in his chest. "It’s strange for me. I hate being the center of attention."Britney final

The night has been nothing short of romantic. Laughter, good food, and soft music. Brandon was completely lost in Ethan’s world, each passing moment drawing him deeper into love and connection.As the evening wore on, Ethan stood up, raising his glass of wine. The soft clink of his fork against the glass drew their attention, the gentle hum of conversation fading into the background.“Britney,” Ethan began, his voice sincere but teasing, “I have to say, you look absolutely stunning tonight. If I weren’t already hopelessly in love with your brother, I might’ve had to take my chances with you.”Britney rolled her eyes, a playful smirk on her lips. “Lucky for me, I’m not your type,” she shot back. “But thank you. You look rather dashing yourself—like some mafia lord straight out of a movie.”And it was true. Ethan had dressed to impress, every detail of his outfit meticulously chosen. He wore a minimalist luxurious winter ensemble. A long, black wool overcoat hung just above his knees, i
In The Arms Of Mr. Billionaire Chapter 108: THE ELEVATOR RIDE.
Ethan stormed down the hallway, furious after the explosive virtual conference with his partner. Gerald had crossed a line—no, he’d obliterated it. The man was orchestrating a calculated takeover, threatening to have their accounts frozen and their activities investigated if they continued bypassing him. Gerald wasn’t just playing the game; he was rewriting the rules, confident in his impending victory. And slashing Ethan’s shares by weakening his stocks? It was all part of Gerald's insidious plan to strip him of power, piece by piece.Without knocking, Ethan barged into Gerald's office, his blood boiling. Gerald, who had just returned from his coup-planning trip, was in the middle of a discussion with someone—a man Ethan didn’t care to identify. This wasn’t about pleasantries or formalities; this was war."Mr. Asher," Gerald began, his tone dripping with condescension, "I believe you have to knock before entering someone's office. As you can see, I was in the middle of something impo

Christmas...The warmth of the fireplace filled the room, the crackling of the flames blending with the soft hum of Christmas carols playing in the background. The Christmas tree stood proudly in the corner, its branches covered in twinkling lights and delicate ornaments that shimmered in the soft glow. Outside, snow fell gently, blanketing the world in a peaceful white. Inside, the laughter of family could be heard through the house, filling every corner with love and joy.Around the large dining table, everyone was gathered. Nana, looking radiant and content, cradled one of her twin boys in her arms while the other rested peacefully in a bassinet nearby. She'd given birth two weeks ago and everyone has been supportive.Her recovery over the past few months had been nothing short of miraculous, and the glow on her face was proof of the happiness she had found. She and Brandon had grown close, their bond deepening as they shared stories and leaned on each other through the ups and dow
In The Arms Of Mr. Billionaire Chapter 179: THE COLOURS IN THE SKY.
A WEEK LATER...The sky was painted in shades of soft blues and blush pinks, with the occasional puff of cloud dotting the horizon. Birds soared high, their wings glinting in the sunlight, as if celebrating alongside the hundreds of guests below. There was something in the air—something gentle and full of love, as though the universe itself was smiling down on this day. The slow ringing of bells hummed throughout the city, the sound weaving its way through the streets and gardens where the wedding was about to take place.The garden itself was like something out of a fairytale. A vast space covered in greenery, with towering trees draped in delicate white flowers. Tiny twinkling lights were strung between the branches, looking magical. The path leading to the altar was lined with blooming roses in every color imaginable, reds and whites swirling together like a painter’s masterpiece. Chandeliers hung from the arches, their crystals catching the sun, reflecting rainbows onto the guests

They made it through every storm, and now, they would live to love and cherish.*****With Aldo's help and Ethan’s connections, it didn’t take long to find Nana. Ethan and Brandon were stepping out of the car, breathing in the damp, cold air of Ireland as they looked at the modest house ahead. Ethan already disliked the neighbourhood. He hadn’t seen his sister in years, and he wasn’t sure how he’d react. He squeezed Brandon’s hand, a nervous energy running through him.Brandon, ever the optimist, linked arms with him and smiled. “We’ll handle this together,” he whispered.The porch creaked beneath their feet as they walked up to the door. Ethan raised his hand, knocking with a hesitation he wasn’t used to feeling. A few moments passed, and finally, the door creaked open.“Na—” The name caught in Ethan’s throat. The woman standing before him, her body hunched as if she'd age five times more. She barely resembled the sister he once knew. But her eyes—those distinct, beautiful blue eyes

Collins stood in front of Brandon, his smile warm, though his eyes held scars and sadness of years lost. His suit, while simple, fit him perfectly, and despite everything he had been through, he looked healthier, more at ease than Brandon had seen in years. There was something peaceful about him now—a quietness that only comes with closure.“He’s just trying to be nice,” Collins said, grinning at Brandon. “But I’ll tell you, your man really went all out to find me. Ethan had me tracked down, got me out of that mess I was in. Then he hired one of the best lawyers in the country. We’re still working on clearing my record entirely, but it’s in motion.”Brandon looked at Ethan, his heart filled with gratitude. He had known Ethan was working behind the scenes to find his father, but he hadn’t realized the lengths Ethan had gone to. It was overwhelming, this outpouring of love, this commitment to not just him but his family.“I... I don’t know what to say,” Brandon whispered, his voice catc

One moth later...A month had passed, and the world outside felt a little less dangerous. The sun hung high in the sky, its warmth spilling over the quiet garden outside Ethan's home. The smell of fresh herbs filling the air, and the birds sang in the trees, oblivious to the trials that had brought Brandon and Ethan to this moment. Inside the house, you could perceive the scent of warm bread and sizzling bacon, the morning routine continuing as usual.Brandon stood in the kitchen, setting out breakfast with careful hands, his mind only half-focused on the task. His heart, though, had never been more full. He glanced toward the living room where Ethan sat, propped up on the couch, still pale but improving with every day. There was color in his cheeks now, though he was often feverish, and his wound—a constant source of worry—had gotten infected twice in the past few weeks. But with a team of specialists and round-the-clock care, Ethan was healing.In the beginning, it had been terrifyi

In the midst of the chaos, a strong hand suddenly grabbed Elizabeth’s arm, yanking her away from the crane’s remote. The container stopped just inches above the crumpled car, leaving Brandon shaken but still alive. His breaths were ragged, his body trembling with fear. He would never forget surviving this near-death experienceEthan’s knees buckled beneath him, the adrenaline fading as the blood loss caught up. He exhaled sharply, fighting to stay conscious, but the world was spinning. Strong arms caught him before he collapsed completely, and through his fading vision, he saw Carter’s worried face hovering above him."We got here just in time," Carter said, his voice calm but his eyes filled with concern. "Hang on, Ethan."Ethan’s voice was faint. "Brandon… is he okay?"Carter nodded, glancing toward the car where medics were pulling Brandon out. "He’s fine. You saved him."Ethan closed his eyes for a moment, the exhaustion too much for him to handle. He had fought with everything he

Noah’s expression darkened. "She found out about my real business—human trafficking, organ harvesting. She was going to expose me. And yes, I killed her with my own hands. She wasn’t afraid of me. She loved you more than she ever loved me." His voice took on a cold edge. "So I made her pay for it."Grief and anger choked Ethan. "She was five months pregnant, Noah. Pregnant with your son. She was everything I ever wanted in a mother, and you took her from me.""I can have as many children as I want, Ethan. But if I were caught, my business, my reputation—everything I built would be gone. I won’t be taken down because of some woman."Brandon, from the crushed remains of his hope, couldn’t stay silent. "It’s always been about you, hasn’t it, Noah? Your ego. Your reputation. You destroyed my family and yours because all you care about is power.""Shut your mouth, bitch," Elizabeth snapped, slapping him hard across the face. "You know nothing about power."Ethan, his voice hoarse from the

Ethan’s fist landed with brutal precision, sinking into Ethan’s stomach. Ethan doubled over in pain, gasping as he felt the burn spread through his abdomen. His hand instinctively flew to the spot, feeling the sting of fresh blood where the wound was."You son of a bitch," Ethan spat between ragged breaths, his eyes burning with defiance.Noah, towering over him with a twisted smirk, gripped Ethan’s jaw, forcing him to look up. "How dare you call me mad, you son of a whore? A mere slave," Noah growled, tightening his hold.Ethan laughed bitterly, the sound more of a wince than amusement. "I see you’ve gone mentally unstable too, father," he mocked. "How am I the son of a slave? Last I checked, you were just a sperm donor. And as for being a slave, well, maybe to your greed, your adultery, and your lies."Noah’s eyes flared, and his grip on Ethan’s jaw tightened, making it difficult for him to speak. "I made you," Noah hissed, his voice dripping with venom. "And I’ll break you.""You’v

Ethan staggered forward, his hand pressed against his stomach, trying to stanch the bleeding. Outside, it began to rain.His breath came in ragged bursts as he pushed through the sheets of rain that poured down on him. Brandon was just ahead, darkness in the storm, sprinting as though he could outrun everything crushing him from behind."Brandon, wait!" Ethan’s voice was hoarse, almost swallowed by the roaring wind and rolling thunder. Each step sent a fresh jolt of pain through his body, but he kept moving, forcing himself onward. He had to catch him.Brandon didn’t stop. He didn’t even slow down. His feet pounded against the pavement, faster and faster, as if the rain pouring over his face was washing away the memories—the lies, the betrayal, all of it. His chest burned, and his heart screamed louder than the storm, but he couldn’t stop now. He wouldn’t.Ethan’s words cut through the rain. "I didn’t kill anyone, Brandon!" His voice broke, desperate.Brandon spun around, his face twis
