Madam Billionaire: Please, Don't Break My Heart Chapter 174
For the next two days, Simon seemed busier than ever.The only time he returned was at night, and the only thing he did was find Elena in her room and sleep while cuddling up to her.The third day, however, turned out a little different.When Elena woke up, Simon was not in bed as usual, but he sure hadn’t left for work before she even opened her eyes.She blinked up at the door, pretty sure she could hear his deep voice and Caleb’s cheery one intermingled with one another.Surprised that he hadn’t left yet, she got out of bed and made her way towards the hallway, curious what they could be talking about so early in the morning.She couldn’t make out much, but there were a few things that were said, that gave her pause.“Ooooooh! I never saw one. Did you see them, Uncle Simon? What did they look like?” Caleb asked excitedly.A pause, and then Simon replied, his voice calm and steady.“Of course, I have seen them. The Kangaroos are Australia’s most distinctive and recognizable animals.

Her words seemed to have rendered him speechless.Simon, who always could read her mind, always could understand the working of her mind, stood in front of her, lips parted in a soft, ‘o’, as he just stared at her with eyes wide in surprise.Elena, on the other hand, looking anything but surprised by what came out of her mouth. She seemed to be frowning, but not for the same reasons as him, he could tell.He couldn’t help but tip his head to the side, wondering what led her to this thought. “What’s with the sudden decision?”He was right. It was all too sudden. She should have given her words another thought. But she didn’t. And now it was too late. Not that any part of her regretted it. She knew it was the right thing to do, after all.“Well,” she said, a slight blush covering her face. “I just realised that it’s stupid trying to keep fighting against it. I do have feelings for you, and they are strong. I…never had such feelings for Richard. Yes, at the time we were dating, I liked hi

“Oh, Elena, this dress looks so beautiful on you,” Diana said with a grin as she watched Elena try on her eleventh dress. It was a simple white satin gown with gold lace appliqués on the skirt and an elegant open back. It fit her like a second skin and gave her a classic silhouette. It was elegant, understated, and very beautiful.“This is it. It’s perfect,” Elena said to herself, smiling as she watched herself in the mirror, taking a small twirl on the small pedestal in front of the mirror.“It really is,” the old lady agreed, coming over to tie the knot. Elena could only stand and stare at her reflection. Her eyes looked too bright, and she was biting her lips, trying to contain her happiness. But the way her body was trembling, she was sure anyone could tell she was going to explode with happiness soon enough.When she had married Richard, his parents and sister had done all the shopping. Richard had insisted that it was their tradition to have the women of the groom’s family buy th

The moment the call disconnected, Simon dialed Elena.The bell kept ringing, but she didn’t pick up.“Come on, Elena.” He dialed again.No answer.He then dialed Diana. She had accompanied Elena to the boutique to shop for clothes, hadn’t she?He held the phone to his ear, but she did not answer either.“What the fuck, Diana!?” he growled, his dark eyes flashing. He turned to his assistant, William. “Call for backup. Get the security at the boutique to find Elena. Tell them they need to find her before I do, or they will regret the rest of their miserable lives.”William quickly nodded. “Yes, sir.”Simon then stormed over to where his car was parked. The driver saw his mood and immediately knew better than to ask questions.“Go!” he shouted the moment he took his seat. The car started at full speed toward the boutique.When they reached the boutique, the place was full of chaos. Men and women were rushing around like a hurricane. Something had caused panic in the entire place, and he d

The Serpents,” Viper had said. A notorious gang known for their ruthless tactics and deep connections within the criminal underworld. It made sense that Barlowe would use them for his dirty work.“Keep digging,” Simon ordered. “I want to know everything about their operations, their members, their hideouts. I need to find Elena before it’s too late.”“Copy that.”The call disconnected and Simon found himself pacing in the hospital room.Diana, who now sat on the bed, watched him grow more and more angrier. She could tell Simon had murder on his mind. She had seen that look on his face before, and if the last time was any proof of what this man could do to his enemies, she feared for whoever crossed him this time.“What are you going to do?” She finally asked.Simon glanced up from his phone, his eyes glinting darkly.“Whatever is necessary to find her and make whoever dared to touch her regret their existence in this world.”“Simon,” Diana’s tone was gentle but stern. “You can’t let E

Elena woke up slowly. Her eyelids felt heavy, her throat dry. Her shoulders felt as if they had been crushed by mountains, and her legs felt as if they had been turned into lead.What the hell was wrong with her?Someone tapped her on the cheek, trying to wake her up. “Open your eyes, Elena. How long are you going to nap? You’re missing out on all the fun, sweetheart.”Elena jerked her head away, too exhausted to even open her eyes and see who it was. But that voice…she couldn’t mistake that voice for anyone else. The realization jolted her heart to attention.Elena snapped her eyes open, her heart already in her throat. “D…Dan…Danika?”“Yep!” Danika chuckled, finally moving back to stand upright, arms crossed over her chest. “The one and only.”Elena tried to move, but couldn’t. She looked down at herself and realized rather quickly that her hands were bound to the armrest of a chair, not by any ropes but something made of leather, and the more she tried to pull, the more they wrappe

Elena’s vision blurred with tears as Danika’s furious words echoed around the empty warehouse. The sharp sting of the whip across her flesh seemed never-ending, each strike sending waves of searing pain through her already battered body. She tried to steady her breathing, to find some semblance of control in this nightmare, but the torment was relentless.“You think you can just walk away from me? You think you can live your life without paying for what you did?” Danika’s voice was filled with venom, her eyes alight with a manic fire. “Well, I have news for you, princess. The universe isn’t as kind and forgiving as you think it is. Sometimes, bad things happen to good people, and it’s time you learned your lesson, bitch!”With those words, she flung the whip to the other side of the room and huffed.Elena couldn’t help but sigh, her body too tired to even register the pain now. The cuts on her cheeks still burned like hell, but the relief from the torture was all that mattered to her

“You broke my nose!” She cried out, blood seeping down her face, dripping into the concrete beneath. “You bitch! You broke my nose!”“It’s a long overdue payback,” Elena growled.Danika snapped her head to her. “How dare you! How dare you say such a thing to me!”Danika jumped up, grabbing the backrest of the chair, and pushed her over. Elena landed hard on the concrete with a groan. Her body ached like hell and she could taste the metallic taste of her own blood in her mouth. Her vision still red, she gritted her teeth and pushed herself up.She wasn’t going down like that, she couldn’t let that happen.Danika pulled out a switchblade, holding it right at her eye level, threatening to stab her if she ever moved a muscle. But that was exactly what Elena was waiting for, to get Danika close to her.Once she got close enough, Elena raised her knee and slammed it right into Danika’s stomach, causing her to bend over in pain and gasp for breath. That gave Elena just enough time to turn an

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
