Loving a cruel billionaire Oscar Award
Chapter 76: Oscar Award Hayley's POV ~flashback ~America's Culinary Oscar Award day.Soft background music filled the well-lit hall as top kitchen and restaurant representatives gathered around a long black table with a polished silver surface. I stood among them, representing Biga Bistro.Our aprons displayed our names.On the table lined some table stoves, plates and brown mystery boxes whose contents remained unknown. And five esteemed judges stood nearby. Soon, the moderator came forward, welcoming everyone to the 2024 American's Culinary Oscar Award."Everyone take your station!" the blonde haired moderator announced. We rushed to take our positions, each facing a mystery box. My heart pounded loudly.Being here alone was a dream come true for me and I felt a mix of excitement and fear seeing the number of professional chefs from prestigious kitchens that I was up against."I know many of you are curious about the boxes," he continued.

Loving a cruel billionaire New workplace
Chapter 77: New workplace Hayley's POV Back to Present Time Just when I drove out of Williams' estate, my mom's call came in. She had been calling me more often these days and it hurt me that she wasn't happy. "Hello darling. Are you at home? I want to come around," she went straight to the point as soon as the call connected. That was unlike her. She always spent at least a few minutes fussing about how I was doing. "Not exactly, Mom, but I'm driving home now. I'll go wait for you. Are you okay?" I reversed and started driving home. I was going to submit my resignation letter at Biga Bistro but I guess that would had to wait until later. "I'm fine, darling. I just want to see you and know how you're doing. It's been awhile. Don't you agree? I'll see you soon, bye." She hung up before I could even reply. "What a woman," I muttered under my breath before concentrating back on the road.

Loving a cruel billionaire Sharing an Office
Chapter 78: Sharing an Office Hayley's POV I followed Marcelo, expecting him to lead me to his office or mine. But I was so wrong.He Instead, took me on a tour of various offices and departments within the company. We walked up and down stairs, bypassing elevators that could have saved us time, and stress. It was both funny and annoying. Most employees couldn't hide their surprise at seeing their boss give a new employee a personal tour. I supposed it wasn't an everyday sight.By the time we finally arrived at Marcelo's office, exhaustion overwhelmed me. My thighs ached, and I removed my stiletto, not caring that Marcelo was watching.He burst into laughter as soon as I did that and I eyed him, wondering what was funny."You should have thought about sitting first, Miss Matteson," his voice carried a teasing tone as he called my name. "I think it would be best if you showed me my office," I suggested, eager to escape his annoying charm.Marcelo spun his chair around, grinning. "T
Loving a cruel billionaire Causing a scene
Chapter 79: Causing a scene Hayley's POV The week flew by quickly and soon I was preparing for the start of a fresh week. My last week as a trainee in Lux kitchen, before I graduate to being a full staff and getting paid for my work.As Marcelo promised, he was my personal trainer and working with him was both fun and tedious.But he was a good teacher; attentive and patient. I couldn't help but feel lucky that I got to train under him.I flipped a page of the 'The Flavor Bible' by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg I was reading, a small smile creeping to my lips at the thought of Marcelo's contrasting personality when working and not.He was a disciplinary when it involved work and a charmer on the other side. And I couldn't help but wonder if he knew how overly sweet he was sometimes.The thought of that brought some unholy thoughts to my mind which I quickly dismissed, flipping another page of The Flavor Bible.I was still having a hard time in some areas, especially adapting to n
Loving a cruel billionaire Taming her Enemies
Chapter 80: Taming her EnemiesWilliams' POV More than a week had passed since I brought my wife home, and her healing had been my sole focus.I could say we were making a huge progress, but I knew that for some people, true healing required more than physical care; my wife wanted justice.I wanted her to find peace with herself and no longer feel threatened. And she would only get that satisfaction after seeing those that hurt her get a deserving punishment.I was more than glad to give that punishment, but she wanted to be there, to take part in it.I didn't want her innocent heart to be corrupted, but I also didn't mind showing her how brutal I could be to those that dare hurt her. She was my world. My peace. My everything."Babe, I'm ready," I felt Melissa's tiny arms wrap around my neck from behind, startling me out of my thoughts, her voice sending sweet tingles down my spine."Hey, come here."

Loving a cruel billionaire Fever
Chapter 81: FeverMarcelo's POVHayley's knees buckled and I lunged forward, my heart racing in response. Catching her mere inches from the floor, I cradled her limp body in my arms."Hayley, what's wrong?" I urged, my voice filled with panic. Her eyelids fluttered shut, and I felt a surge of fear. I scooped her up, holding her close as I called out her name, "Hayley! Hayley!"Instructing everyone that had arrived at the scene to return to their office, I hurried into mine with Hayley in my arms, and carefully made her to lie on the couch before calling my doctor.I paced my office worriedly as I waited, checking my watch at intervals and wondering why he was taking so long to come, despite only been five minutes that I called him.I finally went to squat close to a still unconscious Hayley since I couldn't stop gazing at the clock and as I removed a stray hair from her face, the door opened to reveal Dr Neill, carrying what looked like a briefcase."Good morning, Marcelo," Dr. Neill
Loving a cruel billionaire Release
Chapter 82: ReleaseMelissa's POV My eyes widened as it came to focus on a gun I saw Thomas handed Williams. I didn't notice Thomas had been with one until now.I knew Williams had a dark past, but seeing him with a gun made it hard to reconcile the man I love with the man he used to be.I had thought he was just going to punish them and then maybe hand them over to the cops, but I guess I was wrong.In a flash, I lunged towards him, my focus still on the metal now pointed at Stefan. It was not my first time seeing a gun, but it was my first witnessing it being pointed at somebody.My heart raced with both fear and uncertainty. Stefan pleaded desperately, even crying as he begged for his life to be spared.

She looked very nervous, her hand visibly shaking. I knew that it was because of the bastard, and rage boiled through me. I couldn't wait to make him suffer for ever laying his filth hands on her.The dimly lit room oozed of sweat and blood stench, testament to the limited air flow, and the unspeakable torture Andrew had received from Thomas.A satisfying smile curled up my lips knowing more misery awaited him.Following the whimpering sounds coming from Andrew, we found him curled in a corner, his body pressed tightly against the wall like he wanted to pass through it, to escape from us.He was stripped and only on a small black underwear, his back which he had to us was battered with whip marks. I knew it was also Thomas' handiwork, and I felt proud of him."Time to say hi to your visitors, Andrew Peterson," I said in a calm, frie

She could be a little too persuasive sometimes.My brain replayed the drama that unfolded between her and Williams and a smile spread across my lips.

Loving a cruel billionaire The clubhouse
Chapter 94: The clubhouse Marcelo's POV I arrived at Monaco, a clubhouse where a partner insisted we meet. I was done with clubs a long time ago and had declined at first. But after a second thought, I figured the lively environment was a perfect choice to provide me the distraction I badly sort.I reached the entrance and showed my card to the men in black, and they step aside for me to enter. I was enveloped by the whirlwind of light and music, transporting me back memory lane.Monaco was an exclusive sanctuary where the big shots gathered to indulge in entertainment and seduction. Paying huge amounts to watch sexy strippers dance and seduce them. They get the chance to bed some if they paid even more.And Williams and I always paid more back when we frequented the place, until he met his first love, Rebecca Beverley and gave up clubbing. I copied him shortly after, even though I was single to a fault.I arrived at the table where Mijo sat smoking a pipe, and after exchanging plea
