Elena was ready for bed when her phone chimed, and she reluctantly dragged herself to see whose ass was on fire so late at night. Her eyes widened, and she silently stared when Simon’s name flashed on the screen.A month of not seeing him—at least not for longer than a minute or two—and there she was, suddenly anxious and so damn nervous for her own good. ‘What does he want now?’ she thought, nibbling on her bottom lip, her heart pounding in her chest as if ready to break through.She sighed, not sure what to do. But before the call disconnected, she rushed to answer, cursing herself almost instantly when his deep voice grazed her ear.“And here I thought you were planning to ignore me,” he said, and Elena couldn’t describe the way something stung at the back of her eyes.She didn’t even know why she was being so emotional; it wasn’t as if she missed him or something. Right?She shook her head and sat down on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the hem of her nightdress. “We talked abo

“Not even if it’s my birthday?” Elena paused and stared, her perfect eyebrows rising into her forehead. “Wait. Is that true?”Was it really his birthday? How did she not know about this? Why hadn’t her assistant said anything about it? Then again, one could never be sure with Simon Walsh. He didn’t mind lying if it served his purpose. And right now, half of her mind was refusing to believe if he was being honest for the same reason.He traced a finger down her cheek, stopping only when it reached her chin, and lifted it a bit so now she could see directly into his eyes. “Why would I lie about such a thing?”“Because you’re capable of it?” She wanted to say but bit back her words instead.“I don’t know. Because you’re getting some thrill out of it? Because you’re bored and looking for something to amuse you? Anything is possible with you.”He chuckled, and she once again found herself staring at those luscious lips of his. They were just so goddamn beautiful. And close. “I’m glad to kno

“Oh, it’s real, alright,” he said from behind, his lips spread in a knowing smirk. He joined her at her side and looked at the painting that was made more than a thousand years ago, and she couldn’t believe it was now in his possession.She turned to look at him, her eyes wide. “Where did you find this? How?”He chuckled. “That’s not the only one,” and just as he said that, Elena looked over her shoulder and realized he was right. This place wasn’t just one huge museum, it was a whole art collection.Her breath left her body and she just stood there, trying to wrap her head around the fact that Simon had his own private museum. A museum.She shook her head in disbelief, “I can’t believe you own all of this. This is… I have no words.” Then, her eyes fell on the most beautiful vase, a rare piece that was so old no one was sure of its exact date of origin. “Is this what you wanted me to see? I thought it was something… else,” she had a vague idea of what she had thought this night would b

Elena didn’t know what to say.She bit her lip, stared at her reflection, and couldn’t help but smile.“This is ridiculous,” she chuckled, shaking her head.Behind her, Simon frowned. “Why?”“I feel like a kid,” she said, taking off the crown and holding it in front of her eyes. It was truly beautiful, no doubt about that. She could tell it was not only rare but more precious than everything he owned in the previous room.“What’s wrong with that?” he asked, and Elena found herself momentarily speechless.“Nothing, I guess.”“That’s what I thought,” he smiled, and the two of them returned to put the crown back on the showcase.Elena hummed, looking around the space, suddenly feeling chilled. “So, what do you plan to do with all this? Are you going to open this place to the world someday?”“I don’t know,” he said, and Elena wasn’t sure if he hadn’t actually decided or didn’t want to say.She chose not to press, though. She simply smiled at him, following him out of the room. “So, what’s

“Dance with me?” he asked.They had just finished their meals. The dinner had been amazing.The cake had been even better.Now, the night was coming to an end. The stars were shining brightly in the sky and the moon looked bigger than it usually did. The pool was shimmering as the wind blew over it, and everything about the night looked so peaceful and so romantic that it was hard not to give in.She watched Simon rise from his seat and hold his hand out to her. Elena had no doubt about how beautiful he was in the moonlight.She had always thought of him as the most handsome man she had ever met, but in the dark, his eyes glimmering with so many things she had only ever dreamt of, and the way the wind blew his hair away from his face… there was a sudden vulnerability that made him look almost real.She had already decided that today was his day and she wasn’t going to deny him anything.She placed her hand in his and let him lead her to the pool side.The soft music was now replaced wi

Like any other night in the past, Josh found himself wide awake.Most nights, he spent working in the home office, clearing all the pending work and working on the future ones. But tonight was something different. Tonight was one of those nights when he could neither find the will to work nor the urge to sleep. He just sat there, in the darkness, staring at nothing, like a ghost of a man who once knew how to live.The wooden chair creaked under him as he shifted his weight, leaning forward and letting his face fall in his hands.Then, he looked up and reminded himself that the reason he couldn’t sleep was not because he couldn’t but because he didn’t want to. He didn’t want to give himself the rest. He didn’t want to lose this feeling of emptiness inside him. He didn’t want to forget how it felt to have that one person taken away from him whom he had loved so damn much.Fuck! He was screwed, wasn’t he?He did this to himself. If only he hadn’t been so greedy…perhaps Shelly would have b

Josh wanted to have faith in his sister, but these days, having faith in literally anything wasn’t his strongest suit.For now, however, he was going to let her be.Clearly, there were more important matters to attend to until his sister would actually need his help. Until then, he was going to keep an eye on her and Simon, and watch them from afar.He nodded at her. “Alright. Go now, have some rest. It’s dawn already.”Elena’s smile widened, and she rushed to give him a tight hug. “Thanks for understanding.”“Of course.”She rose on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. “And just you know, I’m glad that you’re here, and we are having this conversation. It’s…I’m never going to take these moments for granted.”He could see tears shimmering in the corners of her eyes, but she quickly shoved them clean with the base of her palm. “Alright then, good night. And please, try to get some sleep too.”He gave her a nod. “I will.”And then she was rushing upstairs to her room, never turning back.———

“I deeply apologize for the inconvenience but the shipment only arrived last night and my staff has to work overnight to ensure that it can reach you before the scheduled deadline,” Mr Knox handed over the file to Josh, and watched as Josh passed the file to his secretary.After flipping through all the pages, the secretary gave Josh a nod.Josh sighed. “Everything looks good. It was nice doing business with you.”“The pleasure is all ours, Mr Matthews,” Mr Knox bowed and shook hands with him.Josh and his secretary walked towards their car, which had been parked a little away from the dockyard. It wasn’t usual for Josh to make private visits to check the shipments but he had been hearing rumors for weeks now that this man was in league with his enemies, and was only fooling around to hide the truth.His suspicions were true and the shipment he just inspected wasn’t a normal one.He got into the car and looked out the window. “What did you find?”The secretary looked over his shoulder.

Madam Billionaire: Please, Don't Break My Heart THE END? I DON'T THINK SO...
Hey lovely readers,First of all, I would like to say a huge thank you if you’ve made it to the end. It wasn’t an easy journey, I know, but you stayed, and that means everything to me. :)Secondly, let me get straight to what I said I would be talking about in this note.I know a lot of you (probably all of you) must be wondering what happens with Josh next, and what about Angelina, Betty, Caleb, and the other kids.No worries—the reason I decided not to continue their stories here is that I’ll be exploring that story arc in a new book. It will probably be published soon (I’ll do my best, I promise). I realized that Josh’s story needed its own space because there was so much I wanted to write for him, and that couldn’t happen alongside Simon and Elena, who were obviously nearing their happy ending.But yes, it’s impossible to write about Josh without Elena, so Elena and Simon will be making appearances in the new book as well. Maybe sometimes more than I intend, because God knows I lov

After their little party was over and everyone went back to the guest rooms to rest, Elena laid their sleeping daughter in her crib and tucked her nicely.A pair of warm hands slid around her waist from behind, a kiss landed on her shoulder. “Thank you for today. How long have you been planning all this? And how the hell did you manage to invite Josh? I didn’t take him for a party person. Not these days.” He whispered into her ear, making her skin tingle.“You have to ask me how I got your brother to attend? I have my ways of making people do what I want.” She grinned as she turned in his arms and looped hers around his neck.He grinned as well. “Is that right? Do those ways include threatening? Do I want to know the details?” He said jokingly, knowing how Elena is, and she was very much the kind of person who’d go out of her way to make the things that were important to her, happen.“Oh, I think you don’t really want to know. But, I just had to do it for you.”She gave him a light kis

Simon woke up in the middle of the night, his heart racing.He looked around himself, patting his hand around in search of the person he was hoping to find. But to his dismay, there was no one else on the bed with him.“Elena?” he said out loud, frowning at the darkness.His hand patted the sheets and pillow again, trying to feel for her body, but he found nothing. Where was she? Where did she go?“Elena?”No response.He was starting to worry now. Where was she? He could feel a sense of dread slowly filling up inside him. He needed to find her. He needed to know if she was okay.Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from outside his room. He quickly got out of bed, put on his sweatpants and a t-shirt and opened the door.There was no one in the hallway. It was eerily quiet.He frowned, he could swear he heard someone walk by just now.“Elena, are you here? Please say something, darling. It’s me.” He said as he walked slowly to the end of the hallway, bare feet.Just when he thought he

Elena stood outside the doors, clutching the bouquet tightly in her hands. She was shaking, and she knew that anyone who could see her right now would notice, including her brother, Josh.“You’re not a very confident bride, are you?” he teased.She rolled her eyes, wanting to punch him but refraining from causing any casualties at her wedding.“I’m just nervous, that’s all.”“Understandable,” he said, taking a deep breath. “Trust me, you’re not the only one.”She looked up at him, unsure of what he meant. “What do you mean?”“Simon probably feels way worse. I mean, did you see him before he went into that room with his friends? He was sweating bullets.”She shook her head. “You’re making that up.”“I’m not, I swear!” He chuckled. “He’s just as scared as you are, if not more. And that’s a sight I never thought I’d see in my life.”She smiled a little. “I guess you’re right. He is pretty intimidating.”“Exactly. So you have nothing to worry about.” He patted her shoulder. “You’ve got thi

Richard whistled, and Danika watched as Greg, standing outside the room, appeared and uncuffed him.“What the fuck?” Danika was shocked. “How did you… How did you do that?” She turned to face Greg. “You… you work for me, not him! Cuff him back to the door, you giant imbecile!”“Sorry, miss,” Greg said in a deep voice, “I don’t think I will. Mr. McDowell here paid me a lot more money than you to change sides.”“What?!”“That’s right.” Richard stood up, rubbing his wrists. “This is over for you, Danika. Let’s just end this before anyone gets hurt.”Shocked and now furious, Danika was not someone who would give up so easily. Her fingers tightened around the scalpel in her hand. She would fight. She would not go down without a fight.“You think you can win, Richard? You think you’re so smart, don’t you? Well, you’re wrong. I’m not going anywhere. If I can’t have Elena, then no one can.”Without warning, she lunged at Elena, swinging the scalpel towards her throat. But before she could eve

“Is everything set up?” the first man who carried the unconscious bride asked.“Yes,” Greg, who stood outside the operating theater, nodded. “The room is ready. All the equipment is working fine. Just leave her inside, and that woman will handle the rest.”“Sounds good to me,” the other man said, wiping the sweat off his forehead.“Yeah, me too. I just want to get this over with as soon as possible. I don’t want to be here for too long. My wife and daughter have been going on and on about this wedding, and if they come to know I was part of it, they’ll never let me hear the end of it,” the first one said.“Don’t worry. You’ll be paid handsomely,” Greg assured, opening the door for them. “I’ll make sure of that. We just need to do our jobs and get out of here. Simple as that.”“Fine,” the two men said in unison.Danika was waiting for them next to the table, a smile on her face. “Ah, there you are. Any trouble?”“No. Everything’s fine.”“Excellent. Place her on the table, please.”They

Danika was so damn ready for the final stage of her revenge.She had planned everything meticulously, and now all her efforts were coming to fruition. She was smiling to herself when the phone rang, and she picked it up, already aware of what she was about to hear.“We got her,” the man with the deep voice said. “On our way now. Will be there in twenty.”“Perfect. See you then.”She hung up, unable to stop the grin from forming on her face. Everything was going according to plan. And it was just getting started.She looked around. She was standing right in the middle of an abandoned hospital, the perfect place to host her little celebration. She couldn’t wait to see the look on Simon’s face once he realized his bride was gone. And this time, for good. He would be devastated, broken, destroyed. The thought alone was enough to make her laugh.“What’s so funny?” Richard asked as he walked into what looked like an operating theatre.“Just imagining Simon’s face once he realizes I’ve taken

Simon was pacing outside the bridal suite, restless and nervous. One of the servers had informed him that Elena wasn’t feeling well, and he had dropped everything he was doing to rush over and see if she was okay, or if they needed to cancel the wedding. Because he totally could. Nothing was more important to him than his soon-to-be wife’s well-being.“Come on, open the fucking door! Let me in. Just once. I swear, I won’t even say a word.”“Not yet, Simon,” came the familiar voice of Diana. “We talked about this. You can’t see the bride before the wedding.”“Fuck that. This is a fucking emergency. She’s not answering the phone. What if something’s wrong?”“Relax. She’s fine. She just needs a few minutes alone. The excitement is getting to her. But she’ll be out soon. Don’t worry.”“Diana, I swear to God, if you don’t open the door right now, I’m breaking it down. I don’t care if I have to chop the entire thing down.”“Go away, Simon. Or I’m going to tell Elena what you did the other da

And while celebrations and laughter were being shared in one part of the world, in another corner, a different kind of gathering was being planned—a more sinister, dark, and twisted celebration.“I knew I’d find you here,” a familiar voice whispered in his ear. Richard glanced over his shoulder, frowning at the face he hadn’t seen in a while. But there was no mistaking it. The woman was actually here, and the first thing he wanted to do upon recognizing her was to wrap his fingers around her throat and squeeze until she stopped breathing.“What do you want?” he growled, turning back to his drink as he sat at the bar of one of the elite clubs.“Why? No welcome? Where are your manners, Richie?”He hated it when she called him that.“What are you doing here, Danika? I thought I made it clear you were not to contact me again.”“And I thought I made it clear that I have no intention of backing off until you realize that we both have the same enemy. Until you agree to work with me.”“You are
