In love with a billionaire Vacation Tales 3: Beachside.
Ashley dialled Leonard’s number repeatedly but it went unanswered. “Hello Leonard” she recorded a voicemail. She was pacing about the room, “I have been trying to get to you for days now...” she ran her fingers through her hair, “I have missed you so much" Henry walked at that moment, dressed in casual clothing. He had two glasses of margarita in his hands. He had a slight frown on his face. “...please talk to me Leonard, I am dying to hear from you...” she sighed. “I love you" she whispered. He froze at her confession. The rational part of his mind told him it was nothing and that they were just friends but he couldn’t shake off the uncomfortable feeling in his chest. “Hi Henry” she greeted. He stopped and stared at her. “Would that be the first time you’re calling me by my name?” She thought about it for a moment “I guess yes...” He chuckled. "Wow,” he laughed. “I do like the sound of that” he dropped the margaritas on the table and stared at her for a moment. “What?” she as

Henry’s eyelids fluttered open, he reached underneath his pillow to find his phone. He grabbed it and stared at the screen, his eyes squinted as he stared at it. He considered turning his phone off but decided against it at the last minute. “Henry!” Arnold shouted into the phone. Henry shook his head irritated. “What is it?” he asked flatly. His voice was groggy. “What do you mean little brother?” Arnold’s tone was mocking. “Can I not call to check on my yo...” “Continue talking rubbish and I might just cut the call on you" “That wouldn’t be the first". Suddenly Arnold let out an excited scream. Henry didn’t care enough to ask but he knew the silence that followed was Arnold expecting him to ask. “Arnold...” “Bro she is hot!” He paused. “Where did you find her from?” Arnold asked. “Find who from?” “I mean she looks like the real deal, not like any of the other girls. You must have offered a lot...” “Arnold cut to the chase, what are you talking about?” “I am talking about

Henry considered not taking the call. He sighed and finally picked it up. “Adrian" “I don’t know what’s more disappointing, the fact that you haven’t been taking any of my calls or that you are clothed in the bedroom" Henry rolled his eyes. “Adrian, how are you?” “Let’s address the issues I have raised...by the way I am fine” He responded. “I need to get wine" he muttered to himself. Adrian stood to his feet. Henry shielded his eyes with his hand. “Why are you unclad Adrian?” “Chill Henry. This is the closest to a perfect male body you will ever see...” Henry shook his head. “Do you get the joke?” Adrian asked. “Adrian...” “My body is the perfect male body because you don’t have a perfect...” “Adrian, yea, yea, I got it” Henry replied. “I don’t need you to explain" Adrian burst into laughter and returned with a bottle of wine and a glass. He poured a little for himself. “Why haven’t you been taking my calls?” “This" Henry answered without a second thought. “All of this” Ad

He took small hesitant steps towards his father’s room. He knocked and almost immediately it opened up, a maid led him through. “Your father is waiting for you on the balcony” She handed him a glass of champagne. He walked to the balcony and just like she said, his father was waiting for him there. “If your room was on the top floor I would be worried about you throwing me off the balcony to my death...Cheers Father" he said in a mocking tone of voice, they clinked their glasses. Allen let out a dry chuckle. “Should I be worried father?” Allen turned to look at him, he stared at him for a while, “You are so distrusting of people it is a good quality...” “You can’t blame me Allen, years of living with you all as a family can do that to any man...” he emptied the contents of his champagne over the rail, “One can never be too careful...” Allen said nothing. Henry grabbed the bottle of champagne beside his father and another glass and poured himself a new glass. “You can never be

She had on a yellow flowery sundress and brown ankle boots to match. She slipped on a denim-cropped Jean jacket. Her long blonde curls cascaded down her back framing her cute face. She grabbed her brown sling bag and turned around excitedly. “I am ready" she announced. Henry was laid back. His lips curved in a smile when she turned around to show him her dress. He had on black denim trousers and a plain white polo that clung tightly to his perfect body, and a pair of white sneakers. “What do you think?” she asked. He leaned backwards, his hands behind his head. “You truly don’t want to know what I think" She playfully rolled her eyes. “If I didn’t, then I wouldn’t ask” “I am thinking a lot of nasty dirty things that if I tell you will have you red...exactly like this" he pointed at her. She had turned bright red with embarrassment. He got to his feet and took her hand in his, he played with her fingers for a while before placing a kiss on the back of her hand. “Perfect is an inade

They made a short stop to get a delicious meal together. After which they shopped in a local market. “I think I am killing this straw hat" she announced. She had bought it from one of the shops. “To be fair you will kill in everything...” She chuckled. “And nothing" he added. She looked away. There was no denying there was a drastic change in the dynamics of their relationship during this trip. A lot had happened, she couldn’t keep track of any of it. It was almost like she was never in control in the first place. She had introduced herself as Henry’s girlfriend to his whole family, an act she had not stopped to thoroughly think about neither had they had the time to talk about it. They had shared their first kiss on this trip, one that had rocked her whole world. Heck, she had been on the verge of giving this man her virginity, out in the open, on the beach of all places like it was scrap she was tossing out without a second thought, with no care in the world. The truth was if sh
Last Updated : 2022-08-21In love with a billionaire Vacation Tales 8: Last family dinner.
Mary looked at every one of her family to the stranger seated around the table. She gingerly placed the napkin on her thigh and dramatically cleared her throat. “It is our last family dinner and our last night on this vacation...” Everyone stopped eating to listen to her. Her eyes were fixated on Henry. “I hope you all are on your best behaviour this night” Henry sighed internally and went back to his meal. Ashley stared at Henry from the corner of her eye, there was something off about his mood since the time they went out. He had suddenly grown somewhat cold. He was still nice to her and never made her feel uncomfortable but he was not as attentive as he used to be. There was a bit of wariness about him with her like he was trying to protect himself. Mr Allen used his fork to clink his glass. “I have an important announcement to make after dinner, there will be a small party after dinner, a celebration of some sort, of course only close-knit family...”. Ashley sighed, she had s
Last Updated : 2022-08-21In love with a billionaire Vacation Tales 9: Sad revelations
Mary stared at Allen with her mouth open. Arnold sat reclined on his chair, a glass of wine to his lips. Ashley stared at Henry all the while, her eyes never leaving his face. Henry for some reason had a laid-back and calm expression like his father had not just dropped an announcement that would greatly impact his life. Allen’s face was stoic as he watched all of them. Eric was fuming with anger, he frantically ran his fingers through his hair. “I won’t have it Father, I won’t!” he shouted in anger. “I clearly said my decision should not be met with any form of opposition...” “I do not give a fuck about what you said!” Eric retorted. he was visibly shaking with anger. “Eric!” Mary screamed. “Will you take it easy" “Don’t try to calm me or anything Mother, what do you have to say about what he has done...” he leaned towards her. “Does Henry truly deserve any of this, does the outsider deserve anything?” She looked away. “You know what's even funnier at this moment?” Arnold asked

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

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
