In love with a billionaire The Presentation
Ashley went through lots of clothing in her walk-in closet. Last night had her tying up the loose ends of her presentation making sure it was a complete piece. She had tried picking up an outfit yesterday but it was hard to make a choice, seeing as she wanted to impress Henry and his team and it would be the first time she would be making a presentation. Henry had left earlier before her. She checked her watch. She still had a solid two hours before she was officially late. She flipped through the clothes on the hangers. She sighed, and just then her eyes caught a baby blue suit jacket. She peered at it in admiration. It looked formal enough for what she wanted to do and also still appealing. An hour and a couple of minutes later she was ready. Dressed in a finely cut light blue pantsuit. Her hair was straightened to perfection and tied up in a high ponytail. Her makeup and jewellery choice was minimal. She wore white low-heeled stilettos, the colour a match with the lacy camisole she
In love with a billionaire Daddy Issues.
Ashley and Henry entwined fingers as they waited patiently to see their guest. Ashley had Asher on her thigh. Henry had purposely made a show of having the bodyguards around the place. He didn’t know if he could trust this man yet and more importantly he wanted him to know that he didn’t. When his mother had given him the information about the whereabouts of his father at first, he didn’t want to think about it. He knew he could have easily found his father if he wanted but he didn’t. He hurt him that his father had not made the first step to come look for him but after his mother’s revelation of the true state of things, he had considered it and now here he was with his family in the house of the man who had taken flight and abandoned him as a child. They had been welcomed by a woman who Henry had assumed was his wife but he didn’t want to ask because he didn’t want to show concern or curiosity, that was his father’s role to play. The adjoining door opened and instinctively Ashley s
In love with a billionaire Reunion.
Mason found it almost impossible to watch the house. The mansion was located in an area where not many cars passed through. If he passed by there a couple of times he would be flagged by the security men in the area. One time he had stopped a few yards away from the gigantic gate, and he was hassled by the security men. The mansion was too big for him to see anything. When Eric Allen offered him 20 million dollars to kill Henry Allen he jumped on the offer without a second thought. He had not thought about how hard it would be to kill Henry. At that time he had thought it a befitting revenge for all that Henry had done to him. He couldn’t even bring himself to tell Angela, he was too scared she would rat him out. This was a secret between him and Eric. Eric knew better than to tell anyone. He looked away from the house as he slowly drove by, he had to use different rental cars so as not to arouse suspicion. It was funny how the price tag of a billionaire's life was valued at only 20 m
In love with a billionaire Reconciliation.
Ashley took her hand and squeezed it. “Mother I am even more confused about what you are saying to me now. You distanced yourself from me, you showed no concern for me when I was hurting, and all you ever asked from me was money, every day and every night. That was all you did...” Her chest heaved. “We had screaming matches from time to time, my friend was terrified of you, putting up with you made me sad and miserable...” she sighed. “At first I explained it away. I told myself you were still struggling with losing a father and you needed time but I lost him too, I lost him too and the one thing I needed at that time was a mother, nothing more, nothing less...” Vera shook her head. “I was hurting but I would never want to push you away on purpose. I...I...admit I didn’t know how to deal with all I was going through. I promise you I wanted to tell you everything. We were in a fix, a bad one. We needed the money...” Ashley raked her fingers through her hair. “What was happening, mothe
In love with a billionaire The ransom call.
Henry sat in the living room with Asher watching cartoons when his phone rang. He was all smiles when he saw the caller ID. He had refrained from calling her since he got back but he was glad that she did. “Did you miss me, babe?” “Henry Allen...” Henry shot up immediately at the sound of the voice on the other end, startling Asher. “What a prize our dear little Ashley has won” “Who are you?” Henry barked. “Let’s save ourselves the theatrics. I do not have the time. I haven’t bothered with a voice concealer so later you can do the homework or probably see me when you come...” “What do you want?” “Twenty million dollars. A drop of water in your ocean. I need you to bring it alone without all your goons or the police. A very simple task, if I notice anything suspicious your woman will be bleeding out the carpet floors in a second. So you might want to make only the right decisions...” There was a brief pause. Then a message entered his phone. It was a picture of Ashley, terror i
In love with a billionaire Guns and murder.
Ashley’s chest heaved as she stared at the scene before her. The men were finally leaving, she would have let out a breath of relief if Mason did not have his gun pointed at Henry a few yards away and Adrian pointing the gun at Mason. The tensions had not lessened. She didn’t know what to do. The men who had attacked them had taken all their phones with them so they couldn’t call the police. Just as they were about to leave, the big man who had held her in place, obstructed Adrian’s view. “You should count yourself lucky...” his voice was hoarse. Ashley turned back to look at Henry who still had a gun pointed at him. Then she saw it, Mason moving his hands, everyone else oblivious to it. It had happened too quickly and they were all focused on Adrian. The gun had been fired. She saw more than she felt her body move forward as fast as her legs could carry her to get to him, her hands outstretched in front of her, she shoved Henry out of the way. It took a lot of her strength to push hi
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
In love with a billionaire Book Two: Fear and Love.
“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
