In love with a billionaire Hello X.
Adrian arrived at the company a little past noon. They had fixed a dinner meeting for later that day. Although Henry was supposed to come over, when he wouldn’t respond and Olivia wouldn’t take her calls, he had been forced to drive over as quickly as possible. The company looked almost cleared out. There were a few cars parked in the garage and a few guards littered about, Adrian rushed to one of the men. “What’s the problem? What is happening? Where is everyone?” “Mr Allen said they were closed for the day...” Adrian sighed audibly in relief. He had almost called Ashley in fear, he was glad he had not unnecessarily rattled her. “What important meeting is he...” Adrian muttered to himself. “Do you know with whom he is having this meeting with?” he asked the guard. “I do not know. We were only told it was important” Adrian nodded. “Of course” he dialled his line hoping to get to him but it went unanswered. He knew Henry had a policy of no phones during a meeting but he wanted to tr

Mary arrived at the beach house and just like she expected it was swarming with cop cars. The car skidded to a halt, she jumped out almost immediately running towards the house. “Ma'am" “Hello officer” She extended her hand for a handshake. “Mrs Allen you called 911?” “Yes," She nodded for emphasis. “I received a threat against my son's life and I called immediately.” She looked at the house. “What is happening? How is my son?” Just then a heavily drunk Arnold clad in only a bathing suit was escorted out of the house by two police. The shorts were mid-thigh and clung tightly to him, they were dripping wet with what Mary hoped was water or at least alcohol and not his urine. His overgrown brown hair was messy, some other people were escorted out of the house. They were young men and women all dressed in bathing suits. Mary half ran as fast as her legs and stiletto pumps would let her. “What’s going on here officer? That’s my son, I called because there was a threat to his life. Wh

Ashley sat on the bed while Henry lay on her thighs. The television was on, they were watching an animation show. The room was dark save for the flickering lights from the television. She played with his hair. “Do you want to talk about it?” He smiled. “You know I had almost forgotten all about it...” She turned down the volume. He turned around so he could see her. “With you everything is alright.” His thumb caressed her cheeks. “I want you to be alright” He smiled at her. “My mother came over" Ashley was surprised but she didn’t let it show. “Took a whole day. Had the media on standby so she could create a scene if I sent her away...” She caressed his face. “She had a lot of things to say...” He paused. “Uncovered old wounds, wounds I like to think are closed up and forgotten. Wounds that I lie to myself are forgotten...” She instinctively reached behind his back and ran her fingers along the fine lines of his scars. “These wounds are part of what shaped you, they made you w

Ashley stared admiringly out the tall glass windows at the ocean. She shut her eyes and sucked in a deep breath. What she loved most about this place was the serenity it offered. Henry had proposed earlier that they go on a vacation in a beach house he owned. At first, she had protested but now as she watched the beautiful blue waves hit the shore, the soft whistling of the birds and the palm trees as they waved from side to side she was thankful that they did. They all needed the time away, Henry from his job and all the pressing demands. She had to get away from a lot too. Out here they could let go of all the obligations and demands of their busy lives. Here they could be one with nature and enjoy each other’s company truly. She couldn’t ask for anything more. She had made plans, she was going to turn off her phone and truly make the most of their time together here but she had to make one last call before she did that. She dialled her mother’s number. All her calls went unanswered

Ashley fastened the rope of the red silk robe she had on. She put out the candlelight and lit it again. Her nerves were all over the place and rightly so. After all, she was hoping to pull a surprise for Henry. She was finally ready if the truth was told however she had always been ready, and she had just put it off for a short time. She had wanted him as much as he did for a long time now. Her slight hesitation had put it off for a while but she was glad he was willing to wait and oh was she looking forward to it. She had put in extra effort today. There was time because Henry and Asher had spent the day out together, of course on her insistence. The bedroom had been tastefully decorated with rose petals and silk sheets. The soft music that filled the room, and the dim lighting coming from the lit candles and the fireplace gave the room a romantic ambience. She had also given herself a special treat. A spa day indeed did wonders for your looks and overall mood. She poured herself a

Her lips slowly curved into a smile when she remembered how he had made love to her all night. She stirred, her hands reached out patting the space beside her. She felt nothing, she jolted with a start. Her eyes frantically scanned the whole room and then she saw him. He was sitting on a chair, a table before him, there was a wide sheet in front of him. She saw him dip a brush into a bowl of paint. When he looked up at her, his ever-present smirk was on his face. “Good morning my love” he said in the most alluring voice. “Good morning” her voice was barely above a whisper. She bent her head in a bid to escape his intense gaze. He lightly chuckled. “How did you sleep?” he skilfully applied the paint on the paper. She cleared her throat. “Well, I guess and you?” “Just well?” he asked. “I have a vivid memory of last night and I can say your night was more than just well...” She bit down on her lower lip. “Breakfast is on the table” he gestured to the side table beside her. She nodd

“Yes Father” “I didn’t think a time would come when I would be repulsed by your voice saying that...” “Allen!” Mary shouted. Eric looked up at his father in surprise. Arnold stared blankly at his father. Allen stared at Arnold with disgust. “Your behaviour has been detestable to put it in the kindest terms. I have never been more ashamed to be your father, even more, so that you are my firstborn!” “You can’t speak to your son like that” Mary admonished. “This is not right.” Arnold’s jaw hardened. “No Mother, let him say all that he has to say...” “I envisioned better for you. A huge stake in the family’s business, everything that was mine would have been yours and your brother’s. I couldn’t be more disappointed. You have nothing to your name, you struggle financially, you struggle with your alcoholism, you party in the daytime when your mates are busy doing something meaningful, and now you have added drug use to your portfolio and a little jail time which would have been worse if

Ashley was washing some vegetables in the sink. Adam was in the kitchen with her, Asher in his arms. “I went through all of the pictures you took and it is safe to say you guys had a lovely time...” She smiled at him. “We did. Asher seemed to have the most fun amongst the three of us...” Adam laughed. They had returned yesterday, Henry had rushed into the office to address an issue that needed his urgent attention. She could have let the maids prepare dinner but she loved cooking for all of them and so she had sent them away to do the cooking herself. “You know it was much needed. We had all and our fair share of problems this past year...” He nodded in understanding. “The last vacation with his family was an absolute disaster, more unnerving than it was relaxing.” “I have met the Allens' and I can say they are really...” he hesitated. “...unkind people” Ashley laughed because she knew he was sugar-coating his words...” “Lately they were in the news for something horrible.

A FEW WEEKS AGO... Leonard stared at Ashley. She was on the couch staring out the window lost in thought, he had only just managed to calm her down. The altercation with Henry had upset her more than he imagined it would. He wanted to help so bad, he wanted to make her forget everything about Henry, and then a thought occurred to him. “Hey Ash,” He walked up to her and sat beside her on the couch. She flashed him a wide smile. “Hey, Leonard.” “How are you feeling?” He asked. She shrugged. “I think I might have an idea of how to make you feel better.” Her eyes lit up and it caused his heart to swell in excitement. “It is going to be Christmas very soon and I will be going home for a family vacation. We do this thing where every member of the family comes back home and spends time together. It would be a lot of fun, I want you to come back home with me.” He explained. “Leonard...” “Don’t say anything.” He cut in. “You are going to love it there, my family is amazing and they ar
In love with a billionaire Epilogue
Adrian peeked into the rear seat of the police car. A look of triumph on his face. He held their gaze. “You should know this is only the beginning. I have more in store for you” The grin on his face was wide. He straightened up and walked up to Henry. “You did it!” “Man, it was too easy. How did you know they were going to show up?” Henry asked with a look of bewilderment on his face. Adrian shrugged, he was beaming with pride. “Common psychology I guess. I was sending subtle signals to them, to unsettle them. It was only a matter of time before they showed up. I predicted sooner but that was the time for uncertainties...” He noticed Henry’s shocked expression still. He explained. “The other day at the restaurant, I spotted the paparazzi and although Ashley was terrified I told her to smile and laugh for the cameras...” “What purpose would that serve?” “It was just the day after Ashley was attacked, of course, I knew it would set them off. The pictures of us played a role too, the

Henry rolled his eyes when he saw Adrian walk in. “What are you doing here?” “Olivia told me you’d be working late...” He checked his watch, “But this late...Henry...” “Adrian, why are you here?” Henry asked sternly. Adrian pulled out a chair and sat across from him, “I cracked the case, Henry” He furrowed his brows in confusion. “What case?” “The Mason case and what Eric and Angela are up to" Henry got to his feet and began packing his bag. “Adrian, I am not in the mood...” Adrian stood to his feet. “I promise you, this isn’t like other times, I finally have all the evidence I need against them.” “Frankly, I don’t care” Henry retorted. “None of this matters and Adrian please just leave me out of it...” “Henry, I promise you, you’re gonna want to hear it. They were lying! They were all bloody lying...” Henry rolled his eyes. “About what part exactly?” Adrian sighed. “That’s not important. Henry, forget whatever problems are there between us. This is beyond us! Mason is alive
In love with a billionaire Thanksgiving Dinner
“Adrian...” the waitress said with a look of bewilderment. “Yeah, I want to have a quiet dinner, I do not want to be bothered by anyone, not even the press. Can you do that?” he dipped his hand in his pockets and flashed her crisp dollar notes. “Can you do that?” She nodded silently. “Good” He handed her the notes and entered the enclosed dinner area. “Why didn’t we just have dinner at your place?” He shrugged, “Well my house in the city doesn’t quite look like a habitable place at the moment. I thought of going to a hotel but I can’t escape the press there either, I was making plans to leave the city until you called and said you needed my help” Ashley stared at him with sad eyes. “How are you holding up?” He cleared his throat. “Do you want the version of the story that ends with me bawling my eyes out pathetically or the one where I act smug and unbothered afterwards?” “Adrian...” He shook his head, “This isn’t about me Ashley, this is about you, don’t make it about me.

In love with a billionaire Hidden Camera
Things had been looking up in Henry’s household. Ashley coming into their lives was the best thing that ever happened after Asher’s birth. Adam was grateful for her, he was grateful for the change in the atmosphere in the house, it radiated through everyone and in every part of their lives. Henry always had a radiant smile on his face when she was sitting across from him at the dinner table and talking about her day. He had a smile on his face when he was alone at breakfast. Asher was not left out, he loved Ashley like any boy loved their mother. He was a sweet child.Things were great and then they weren’t. The radiant energy dissipated quickly and was replaced by a dark looming cloud above their heads. Henry was hardly around but whenever he was, his awful mood could be felt from a mile away. Ashley was sad, he hated that she was but she was.He sighed deeply before knocking on the door and letting himself in. Henry reclined on the chair, he was lost in space, and he didn’t notice

Henry lay sprawled on the sofa in Club Dazzle. He owned the place so he had access to the exquisite suite, the walls were soundproof and padded so it drowned out the noise from the crowd. Soft music played in the background, he had an empty glass in his hand, and he beckoned to the bartender. He rushed towards him and filled his glass.Just then Adrian walked through the doors, no one stopped him at the entrance because they knew who he was. Adrian took a long look at him. Henry was spotting a stubble on his chin, his eyes were sunken and drowsy. His hair looked like he had run his hands through them a couple of times. The top buttons of his shirt were undone, and his tie hung loosely around his neck. He was sat in between two beautiful ladies, they were scantily dressed and dancing to the soft tunes of the song. They whispered something to each other oblivious of his presence. He could see Henry smile but it didn't reach his eyes. Adrian signalled to the DJ who turned off the music.
In love with a billionaire Counter-Offense
Angela was lost in her head. Victory was sweet, it left a lingering taste on your tongue, it makes you forget everything else, makes you blind to your enemy's counter-offensive response. Everyone else would be fooled by victory’s sweet lingering taste but not her. She had been a victim of it in the past, she had relished her victory so much that she was oblivious to her enemy's attack and her victory had been spoiled almost as soon as it got to her hand. So she had to learn, the hard way and learn she did. So while Eric was off to wherever he was celebrating his newfound victory in the small publication she had influenced she was still plotting. No, it didn’t matter that a man was writhing under her, his face contorted in what undeniably pleasure, it didn’t matter that she was riding him. Her small mind wandered, so far away.The man gasped under her, he pulled out and shuddered violently as he released. Angela watched him with a blank expression on her face.Beads of sweat formed on
In love with a billionaire Vulnerable
Leonard’s head was in the clouds as he listened to her. He would be wicked if he admitted out loud to anyone that he enjoyed this but it was the truth, for Ashley he was willing to be wicked. If it meant that in the slightest chance, she would be his. He loved her, he had loved her from the moment he had laid his eyes on her and no he didn’t think she deserve to suffer all she was suffering with Henry. He could give her better and he would.It wasn’t about the money, it was about how she deserved to be loved, wholly, truly...She looked up at him from underneath her lashes. “Do you promise me you wouldn’t tell anybody about this?”He took her hand in his and brought it to his lips, “Ashley, everything you tell me today will stay between us, this I promise you...” he noticed her slight resistance but he was patient and willing to wait. This was what he had waited for all along. At first, she had refused to even look at him, then she refused to speak with him. Yet he had persisted becau

Henry unlocked the doors to his house and walked in. He sighed when he spotted Adrian reclined on a sofa, his legs crossed. “What are you doing here?” he asked. Adrian shrugged. “I am here to see my friend.” Henry shot him a glare before sitting down opposite him. “I saw Ashley earlier.” His eyes lit up at the mention of her name. He frowned and looked away trying to conceal his desire. He had not laid eyes on her for a while, she was doing a thorough job of avoiding him, he couldn’t blame her though. He rubbed his palm on his face. “What are you doing to yourself, Henry?” Henry got up from his seat immediately, “I don’t have that time Adrian” “You’re hurting yourself, you’re pushing the people you love away, that’s not...” “Adrian, spare me whatever advice you think you have for me. I do not need it, I do not need anything from you. You do not care about anyone else but yourself, all you do is lie!” “Your family is behind all of this, they are trying to ruin you, they are tr
