In love with a billionaire Mason Blackwood
Things greatly improved between them in the following weeks. They were not exactly best friends but they were accommodating of each other. Henry had healed considerably although he was yet to return to work. Ashley on the other hand had become abreast with the workings of the house and was bonding with Asher. She and Henry never engaged in their constant squabbles anymore and their hatred for each other had decreased considerably. She was late to work today. She had woken up a little later than her scheduled time. She and her mother had engaged in one of their arguments again. She had thought after the death of Mrs Denver, that things were better between her and her mother but she was mistaken. Getting the new paying job didn’t help in any way, there was always one debt that needed to be paid off. To her mother, she was never doing enough. She sighed audibly. As she opened the doors she dreaded meeting with Henry, she had shown up late to work more times than she had arrived early.

It had been a spontaneous decision to prepare dinner. Now that she thought about it for a second time, she didn’t understand why she was preparing dinner. Quite true, all the maids were out save for a few security officials. Angela was not home and Ashley doubted she could handle a kitchen. Asides the fact that she didn’t care for her family, she didn’t look like she could do anything. Asher sat in his baby walker beside her as she worked. She flipped the steak in a pan and placed it in a large serving bowl. She brought out the baked potatoes from the oven with a towel and placed them on another plate. There was a chip and tomato sauce dip as an appetiser. She laid out the dinner table, the bell rang startling her. She almost threw the bowl of chips in her hands. She took a deep breath and steadied herself before she walked towards the door. It was when she got to the door that it occurred to her that she hadn’t considered that it could be Angela on the other end. She hesitantly star

Henry got out of the bath after he had imposed on himself a compulsory cold shower to kill his arousal. He made up his mind to not think about today or Ashley. He put on fresh clean clothes and decided to focus on other tasks ahead, it was a weekend and so he didn’t have to go to work. He called Olivia. She picked on the first ring. “Pleasant morning to you Sir" Henry smirked. “Olivia at this point I think we are beyond this pretentious salutations....” “Why would you say so, Sir?” “We both know there’s nothing pleasant about the morning...for you" he added after his thoughts strayed to earlier today. He silently cussed again. “Did you say something, Sir?” He shook his head at first before he found his voice. “No, not at all" “Okay," she responded. “I was asking if there was something you needed me to do for you...” He cleared his throat. “Yes, create a schedule of things I can work on this weekend and mail them to me. I have time on my hands” “Of course Sir" she replied. “Ha

Fresh tears gushed out of her eyes as he zoomed off. It was late and she was stranded. She didn’t know her way from here. The pain in her heart was unbearable, she would never be able to forget the words Leonard had told her. He had never been mean to her like he was today. He had hurt her and it would take a long while to forgive him. The cold air caressed her skin causing her to involuntarily shiver. She picked up her phone and dialled her mother's number but she didn’t pick up. She almost dialled Leonard’s number before she remembered they were supposed to be pissed at each other. She thought about calling Henry but she didn’t want to disturb him. He had been a kind host to her.At that moment an overwhelming feeling of loneliness overshadowed her. She turned on her G****e map and walked towards the main streets, somehow Leonard had driven them to one of the small streets in the city, there were few open shops littered about and only a few people walked by.She thought about callin

“How bad is it?” “It’s pretty bad” came the reply. Henry rubbed his day stubble. “Help me tidy it" “Good morning Sir". Ashley greeted. He turned around. "I will call you back" he whispered into the receiver. “Good morning Ash” he looked at her. “How do you feel this morning?” She nodded. "Much better" she had freshened up and changed into new clothes. He nodded. "that’s good". They stared at each other for a while. “I will just go to the kitchen...” she began. “Stay”, he blurted out. She was puzzled. “I mean move in here" he explained “Not like move in here but come live here for your job, for your safety...” Henry was never one to be timid or not know how to word his sentences but somehow he found himself unable to look her in the eyes and express himself. “You live far off from the city and you barely make it here on time...” Angela had gone to take her breakfast when she heard the conversation coming from the living room, she halted in her tracks and eavesdropped. “Yeste

It didn’t take a long while for her to settle in. The space in Asher’s room was more than she was used to. She unpacked all her things and carefully put them in the spare closets and wardrobe. Henry had left for work a few minutes after her arrival, Adam had stopped by to welcome her and handed over to her, her due pay. She had no idea where the lady of the house was as she had spent the whole day holed up in Asher’s bedroom sulking. She had brought everything they would need inside his nursery and so she did not need to leave the comfort of the room. It was hard to wear a long face when you cared for Asher because he was a jovial little boy, she found herself smiling more times than she would normally as she watched him play. He was the most patient child to care for, she couldn’t figure out whose attributes he had taken after. Many times than she could keep track of, she peered at Leonard’s number on her phone and was tempted to call him but she decided against it. After all that

Eric was just done arguing with the security officials at the gate and he was flaring with rage. They finally let him drive through. He couldn’t decide which was more annoying, the fact that his mother had asked that he relayed this message personally or the harassing security officials. As soon as he was properly parked, he got out of the car, two security officials flagged him on each end. “What is the meaning of this?” he questioned angered. “The boss has asked us to take precautionary measures with you” Eric fumed, to say he hated his brother would be putting it lightly. He hated the impostor that lived in his house and had somehow managed to surpass him. He had not always hated him. He had followed the footsteps of his father, he had seen his father treat Henry badly and so he had followed suit. It was easy to hate him, he was older but he had always had to live in the shadow of his successes. Things hadn’t changed much as they grew. Eric stared at the beautiful landscape of t

She felt the bed dip beside her, her eyes fluttered open, and she rubbed his back “Henry" He turned around to look at her. “Angela” “What bothers you?” she asked sweetly. “Eric was here" “I know that" she responded. “What did he want?” “My parents are planning a vacation” Her eyes lit up. “When? We are going right?” “No" Her face fell. “Why not?” “I am sure you know why" he stated flatly. Where are we going?’ He shrugged. “I didn’t ask, the envelope is in the drawer” She shot out of bed immediately and rushed towards the drawer, she pulled it open and snatched the envelope, she tore it open and read the card inside it. She squealed excitedly. Henry covered his ears. “We are going to the Bahamas!” she jumped excitedly, “Somewhere called the Ocean Club! We have to go Henry” “Can we not talk about this right now?” She put the envelope back in place. She came to lie beside him. “I understand” She played with his hair. “Do you remember when we first met?” she asked with a wi

In love with a billionaire Bonus Chapter
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
In love with a billionaire Judgement
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. You
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
In love with a billionaire All you do is lie!
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
