In love with a billionaire Epilogue (For now...)
The doors to the mansion open and Henry wheeled in a recovering Ashley into the house. Asher squealed in excitement as he ran towards her. Adam and all the other members of the house are beaming with smiles as they enter. A banner was draped on the entrance with the words welcome home Ashley written on it. “Welcome home” they all chorused. Adam squeezed her hands. Ashley managed a small smile as she kissed Asher on the forehead. “Thank you, sir Adam, thank you, everyone”. The road to recovery had been a tough one. She had spent three months in the hospital, there were a lot of complications. Henry was just glad that she was okay because in those three months, he had lost his sanity, and no one had remained the same. She turned around to peer at him, it was straining but it was worth it when he smiled at her. “Where are we going?” He smiled. “You will find out when we get there” She smiled. He was wheeling her to an unfamiliar area of the house. He punched in some keys when they g

“Doctor! Doctor! I think something is wrong with her." The machine by the bedside continued to beep loudly. Henry was conflicted; he couldn’t figure out if he wanted to stay by her side or go call the doctor. Beads of sweat etched on his forehead trickled down his face, although the room was perfectly ventilated. Henry hit the alarm button so hard that it broke in two, but not before the loud noise filled the hallway; he could hear it from inside. He stared into Ashley’s terrified face. Her blue eyes were motionless orbs as they bore into his, and her eye sockets were deep, baggy, dark circles around her eyes. Her stare was cold as death; it made his skin crawl. She clutched on to him so tightly that if she wasn’t so frail and weak, his bones would have snapped. He would have been terrified of her if he wasn't so in love with her. Her whole frame shook violently. She was merely held back by the tubes put in place by the doctors. Henry glanced at the door frantically; no one had come th

Leonard tidied his table, his mind preoccupied with his thoughts. He picked up his coat and case before exiting the office. “Hey Kristen?” “Hey Leo, “Are you going home already?” He nodded and managed a small smile. “Remember that date I told you I had?” She smiled a knowing smile. “Yes, of course I do.” She pointed at him. “I am rooting for you, you know that. You deserve it.” He nodded with a huge smile on his face. “Thank you. I know; we have planned this for so long now.” Kristen walked up to him and straightened his collar. “Don’t overthink it at all. I think she is going to like you. What’s there not to like?” He dramatically cleared his throat. “I hope Caleb doesn’t find out.” Caleb appeared from behind. “Find out what?” Kristen turned around. “Hello, babe,” she said with a smile on her face. Leonard waved at them before walking off. “Hey man! Find out what?” Caleb yelled out at him. Kristen laughed at him. “Leonard is going on a date with Anna.” “About time!” “Take

Eric was unable to sit still in his chair, and no, it wasn’t because he had locomotive problems. He was worried, as anyone would be if they had a meeting to talk to their lawyer about the chances of their freedom. Things weren’t looking good for him. He stared at the pristine white walls of the small conference room.Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, although the room was ventilated. He loosened his tie and knotted it again. His nerves were all over his face, he couldn’t even think. He was beginning to run out of options. There was a rapt knock on the door, and he jumped to his feet almost immediately. He crossed the length of the room and extended a hand. "Good day, Mr. Pratt.""Good day, Mr. Allen."Eric showed him a seat.Mr. Pratt was the best crooked lawyer that was willing to defend him. Henry had gotten on the side of the public; no lawyer wanted to wade into that kind of murky water, but with the right amount of money, any man could be bought."Any good news?" Eric delved

Mason Blackwood was spotting an overgrown stubble on his chin. Save for his lankiness and dull skin, he looked fairly the same. He was spending more time out of prison. Although it was in a courtroom, it was more than he could ask for. He lay on a thin mattress, his hands behind his head, as he stared up at the ceiling. The cell was dark save for the streaks of light from the hall that reflected in the room. The prison was uncharacteristically silent. It would have been complete stillness if his roommate did not snore so loud.Mason loved the early hours of the morning. It was the only time when the guards and wardens were not shouting out orders, the inmates were not issuing threats, laughing loudly, or doing whatever they liked. He liked to think it helped him think clearly, but if he was honest with himself, there was nothing on his mind.At first there was, he was dealing with lots of emotions at once. Anger, hope, regret, and sadness. He was angry at Henry, and Eric for landing hi

Ashley sipped her cocktail and watched in amusement as Henry and Adrian continued to bicker. They sat in a secluded area of a high-end restaurant. They had been at it for a while. She wanted to meddle, but she decided against it. They were the ray of sunshine on an otherwise gloomy day. The announcement of the attack on Mason’s life had terrified her, although she hid it from Henry. This was not a normal sibling squabble anymore. This was an ongoing attempted murder case. An attempted murder on her life. Eric had attempted to kill his brother and now had most likely attacked Mason. He wasn’t afraid to kill again. She tried not to think about it. Henry was still pretty shaken about her near-death experience, she didn’t want to alarm him further."When are you ever on time for anything?" Henry asked.Adrian appeared to be thinking. "I came early for Asher’s one-year birthday party.""Emm...you missed the little in-house toast we had before the party officially began," Ashley butted in.

Ashley was humming and moving her body to the sound of the music that filled the large kitchen when Henry burst through the doors. She almost knocked the tray of vegetables off the counter. "Henry!"He had his phone in the air. A confused expression on his face. "My phone is ringing."She stared at him in puzzlement. "So...""My dad is calling!" he replied in surprise.Her face softened. "Take the call then.""No!" he said suddenly. "I mean, yes, of course I want to, but what should I say to him?""Henry," she said, washing her hands and wiping them with a napkin. "You need to take the call." The phone stopped ringing at that moment. "Only then can you know what to say to him.""Why is he calling, though?""There are a lot of reasons why he could be calling. Maybe he wants to just check up on you and everyone else in the family, or there could be something really important he wants to tell you. You cannot know until you talk to him."Henry held her gaze before releasing a deep breath.

"Who is he?""He was the guy I thought she was in a relationship with, turned out they were only friends," Henry answered in a flat tone."I see." Adrian nodded.Henry had a frown on his face when he turned to him. "What do you see?""I see why you thought they were together, he is obviously taken by her, look how clingy he is..."His frown deepened. "Is it that obvious?"Adrian shrugged. "She is doing a good job of making it look as casual as possible."Henry cursed under his breath.Adrian gulped down the contents of his glass loudly. Henry turned to look at him, his face scrunched. "So are you jealous?"Henry scoffed. "Jealous? No? Why would I be?"Adrian had a look of amusement on his face as he shrugged. "I don’t know because he has his hands around her waist?""It doesn’t mean anything." Henry replied in a flat tone."Why are your eyes twitching and your hands in a fist?"Henry gritted his teeth. "Means nothing..."Adrian smiled. "If you say so..."They watched her in silence. "

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
In love with a billionaire Defeated
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
