In love with a billionaire Vacation Tales 7: Dancing in the night.
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

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

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

Ashley hurried so she could walk side by side with him. She interlocked her fingers in hers. “Henry...” “Ash I am truly sorry you had to witness all of this, that you had to see me like this...” She stopped and cupped his face. “Henry you have nothing to be sorry for. I want to see you, I want to see all of you" He swallowed deeply and managed a small smile, “Thank you for staying by my side through it all, words cannot truly convey how grateful I am" She nodded, her eyes searched his eyes. He was hiding away his emotions, from his family, even from her. She didn’t know how to make him open up to her. She slipped her hand in his as they walked to their room. As soon as they entered, she turned around to him. “Henry you know you don’t have to be...” He was looking away, his lips quivering, although he covered his mouth, she could see the tear stains on his face. “Henry" she ran towards him. “I am so sorry," he said to her. “I don’t want you to see me like this, you didn’t have t
Last Updated : 2022-08-23In love with a billionaire I already left.
Henry went back to his normal activities as soon as they got home. It was all work for him, it didn’t sit well with Ashley at all. There were a lot of unsaid things between them. Things had been different with them, there was no denying, no pretending. Maybe the whole idea was to pretend they were in a relationship on the trip but it was more than that, anyone could see it. They shared a kiss a couple of times when no one was watching. They lived like an actual couple. Not a word was spoken about their time on the trip when they got back and it worried her. Ashley of course understood he was still hurting after the revelation but the day when they left he had seemed cheerful like he had completely forgotten about the previous day. She was rocking Asher to sleep in her arms, she peered at the staircase waiting patiently for him. Not long after she saw him descending the staircase. “Hen...Henry” It felt weird to call him by his name now that he was back to being uptight with her. “As

He walked into the dining area and there she was, the most beautiful girl he had ever seen and it was the truth. She was helping the maids lay out the table for breakfast, Asher was strapped securely to his baby seat, a bowl of food in front of him that he was making a mess of. She held his gaze for only a brief moment before she went back to what she was doing. The maids mumbled their greetings but he didn’t say a word. “Thank you," one of the maids said to her. She smiled in response. She walked up to Asher. “Look at the mess you made Asher," she said in a playful tone, she looked at the maids with pleading eyes. “I am sorry I am going to take care of this" Henry pulled out a chair. “Thank you” They merely nodded their acknowledgement. “No, no do not worry about it...” “No I can’t" she insisted. “Just go take care of Asher, I think he is going to need to take a long bath to get all these food soils away,” one of the maids said with a chuckle. They left the dining area. Ashley

Henry pulled up to Adrian’s parking lot. He scanned the whole area, if he wasn’t clear-headed he would have thought he was in the wrong place. The building was Adrian’s, and the fleet of outrageous sports cars parked in his parking lot which he never used was Adrian’s. He had met the security on his way in and of course, they had easily let him in because he was familiar with them. He got out of the car and stared at the building. It was eerily quiet and dark. No lights were coming from inside the house. For a moment he had a scare that something had befallen Adrian. He brushed the thought away Immediately. He took tentative steps towards the house until he was at the front porch, he pressed on the bell and waited patiently. He was about to press it again when the door opened up and Adrian’s head bobbed out. The inside of the house was like a whole new world from the outside, it was bubbly and quite loud, a stark difference from the outside. Adrian pulled him inside before he knew it

Henry wasn’t fine without her, far from it. It didn’t help that he had to see her every day. It sucked to have her near yet so far away. Things went back to the usual, she continued to care for Asher whilst he went about his duties. The first few days had been harder for her, she had tried to talk to him but he put up a wall, a defence sort of, he couldn’t be hurt again. The year had been rough, a lot had happened in a short time, he needed to tidy up and by tidying up, it meant completely cutting off his family, he wanted nothing to do with them anymore. Angela was a thing of the past and it meant completely avoiding her, luckily for him, she was making his job a lot easier by staying away and hiding in the shadows. Tidying up also meant putting the chapter with Ashley behind, she didn’t love him, definitely not as much as he had thought, even if it hurt so much to be away from her. He would have to manage. He couldn’t be a good father to Asher if he wasn’t in the right frame of mind

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
