By the time Josh made it home, it was almost midnight.The whole house was quiet and the only people up so late was either the butler or a few maids, waiting to serve him.The butler, however, was quick to give the rundown of the entire day. “Little master slept soon after dinner, sir. He seemed tired after the eventful day at school. Madam Elena called a few hours ago to say that the shoot will probably end by dawn.”Josh hummed. “So, it’s just you and me then?”The butler didn’t know what to say to that, but he nodded anyway. “I suppose, sir.”Josh shook his head, taking off his suit jacket and handing it to the old man.“The dinner will be served whenever you’re ready, sir.”Josh sighed, loosening his tie. “No need for that. I don’t feel hungry. You said Caleb slept already?”“Yes, sir. Quiet early.”“I’ll check up on him and then head to my room.”“As you say, sir.”True to his words, Josh quietly made his way to Caleb’s room. As Butler had already warned him, the little boy was al

Josh had barely stepped out of the house when another car—an unfamiliar one—came to a halt behind the car that was parked in front of the house. The one in which Josh had planned to drop Caleb at school first, followed by heading straight to his office.But before any of that could happen, confusion crossed his handsome face when he caught the person stepping out of this new car.Her similarity with his dead wife almost left him dumbfounded for a good minute.For a moment, he couldn’t tell if he was awake or dreaming.“Josh!” The woman came rushing to him, her eyes and cheeks reddened to a deep shade of red, as if she had been crying for a long while. The look of grief upon her beautiful features cut straight through his chest, making him breathless, and hurt, and broken.“Oh my God!” The woman cried, hands on her mouth, as if she was just as startled to see him as she was. “This is really you.”She hugged him. Glad to see him after so long.How long has it been? He wondered quietly, s

Simon stepped out of his car and shook hands with the man waiting for him at the entrance of The Golden Oasis, a grand casino in Queens.“Welcome, Mr. Walsh, it’s so good to see you returning after so long,” said the man named Billy Rogers, guiding Simon inside the building.“You exaggerate too much, Mr. Rogers. It was only last month that I came here. Hardly a long while since my last visit. But let me say that it looks like the business is thriving well. The Golden Oasis sure does live up to its reputation.”Billy Rogers smiled at that, looking way too eager to appease the special guest of the night. “Of course. We do try to give the people what they want.”“Of course you do,” Simon said, smirking. “That’s the reason I always find my way back here, isn’t it?”Rogers only smiled before leading Simon into a room that looked like an office of sorts. The room was also soundproof, ensuring nothing came in or went out.Simon took his seat while Rogers moved across the desk and dropped into

When Josh entered his office building, he had to stop in his tracks to glance over at the commotion at the reception.Men and women were crowding the place as if something of interest had caught their eyes. But that wasn’t what forced him to stop, however. It was the loud and annoying sound of someone that made him frown and gesture Hudson to see what the hell wad going on.Hudson followed the order right away, rushing over to the crows, he pushed everyone out of his way, only to return with his face slightly pale.He approached Josh, wiping sweat off his forehead.“What’s wrong?” Josh asked, wanting to get done with this already.Hudson slipped the folded handkerchief back into his pocket. “I think you shouldn’t worry about this, sir.”Josh frowned, getting more and more curious. He looked over Hudson’s shoulder at the crowd, and tried to understand what the person was yelling about.“Nonsense,” he grumbled, before deciding to handle the matter himself. This was so unprofessional of w
Madam Billionaire: Please, Don't Break My Heart Chapter 142
Angelina had no intention of making a scene, but when people sucked at their supposedly jobs, she couldn’t help but snap.A day before, when she had come to office, asking for her compensation, the woman behind the reception had showed her the door, saying she was wasting her time and that no one in their company reported something like that.Angelina had done what she did best, she had warned the woman that she would come the next day, and if she didn’t get her compensation, she would make each and every person in that building regret their whole lives.And that’s exactly what she came in today to do. She was going to make that receptionist’s life miserable for taking her lightly the day before, for not doing her job. But when the man who gave her the card showed up, she ignored all the lies that came out of that receptionists mouth. The way she had turned pale seeing that man, and was stumbling over her own words, as if afraid she would lose her job for sure, she felt sympathy for he

Josh wasn’t sure what the hell had just happened, but he didn’t have much time to think about it. His phone rang just then, and seeing the call was from Simon, he quickly answered.“I’m assuming Rogers is on our side?”“When have I ever disappointed you, Josh?”There was no way Josh could see Simon’s face, but he could tell by the way he sounded that the bastard had a pleased smirk on his face. He hated this man with all his guts, but right now, his emotions toward him weren’t important.“So, what’s next?”“Well, next, we wait. Until Rogers gives us the good news, there’s nothing to be done.”“You trust him that much?”Simon laughed. “Actually, I don’t. That’s why I always have a backup plan.”Josh frowned. “What’s the backup plan?”Simon scoffed, probably looking smug as ever. “Now, wouldn’t you want to know.”———By the time Josh reached home, it was already past dinner. As usual, he checked up on Caleb first, then headed straight for his room. However, he had barely climbed all the

Richard sat in his car, windows rolled up, and watched Elena sitting in her chair, waiting for her turn after the current shot. It had been two weeks since he last talked to her about her brother and how he was acting strange. But the truth was, he had been dreaming about her ever since then.So many times, he had planned to drop by and ask if she would like to have lunch with him, or maybe dinner, or maybe breakfast, or maybe just coffee. But every time he thought of doing so, something held him back. He didn’t want to come off as desperate, even though that’s exactly what he was.But two weeks had gone by now without a single conversation with her, and that was his limit. Tonight, after she was done with the shoot, he was going to take her for dinner, no matter what.There was just one little problem…A knock on the window of his car pulled him out of his thoughts, but he found himself releasing a sigh of relief when the face appeared familiar.He rolled down the window, and his secr

Elena looked up at the small cottage in front of her, not sure why they were here.“This is your idea?” she couldn’t help but frown, suppressing the urge to scratch the back of her head. “What are we supposed to do here?”“Wait, of course,” he said coolly, walking past her and heading for the door.Elena, on the other hand, wasn’t sure that’s what she wanted to do.Something about it didn’t feel right, but could she say that out loud? What if it was nothing and she offended him somehow? Of course, she wasn’t exactly afraid to offend him but still. It would be wrong to accuse him, considering the last time she had done so, even with solid proof in her hand, he had come out to be innocent. Everything had been planned against him, his own step sister had framed him in the worst way possible.Elena sighed, hugging herself. Now that the sky had darkened completely, the wind had turned chillier. It didn’t help that this cottage was practically in the middle of nowhere.Richard turned around

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
Madam Billionaire: Please, Don't Break My Heart Epilogue (2)
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
Madam Billionaire: Please, Don't Break My Heart Chapter 199
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
