Simon was still.

But Elena was breathing hard and the sound of her heart beating was loud against her own ears. She felt him move but she couldn’t take her eyes away from his face as she watched his fingers rub the reddened area on his cheek, where her palm had just met with his skin.

It felt good to have some satisfaction but then she was filled with another feeling.

Dread.

He was looking at her as if he had murder in mind.

Something inside her told her to run, to get away from him before something worse happened.

But She couldn’t. Her feet were as if nailed to the sand, sunk so deep she couldn’t get them out, not in time, at least.

She opened her mouth to say something, not really sure what she could possibly say to him to calm the storm in his eyes. But before she could even blink, he grabbed her by the nape and yanked her towards him, his lips slamming down on hers in a kiss so harsh and filled with anger that she couldn’t find a way out of it, no matter how hard she tried.

    Betty Adams sat next to her boss’s older brother—the brother who hadn’t batted an eye since the night of the accident—and wondered what the hell she was supposed to do.Two days had passed, and she had heard nothing from Elena Matthews. Which, if one thought about it, was kind of strange. At least, according to Betty, it was. Since the day Madam Matthews took over the business, she rarely ever disappeared like that.In fact, now that she thought about it, she never—and she meant NEVER—disappeared in the first place. Which, again, was so odd for her boss to do now that everything had started to go back to normal.“Are you sure she left a note?” she asked, for the tenth time maybe?Anyway, not that it mattered. Her boss had never been the careless type. Elena Matthews might not have known what she was doing when she took over the business two years ago—I mean, who did? Her father had done his best to keep her out of the family business, and she had no reason to even think of the word “bu

    Elena woke up the next morning to the soft brush of fingers across her forehead. She opened her eyes, which strangely felt heavier than ever, and was met with the familiar pair of shaded eyes belonging to the man who was the reason for her deep bone exhaustion.Her heart ached at the sight of Simon. She didn’t know why, but this fist-sized ball of emotions inside her always got bigger and heavier whenever he was close.“How are you feeling, little bird?” The words that left his mouth were gentle, but she knew they were fake. There was nothing gentle in the way he looked at her, not with those dark eyes that seemed to want to devour her whole. Or maybe that’s what she forced herself to see because knowing anything else would only complicate matters for her.And there was simply no need for any more complications than there already were between them. She just wanted this to be over—for them to be over.“You gave me quite a scare there,” Simon said, but his words were slow, and it was the

    Elena thought a lot about what Simon had said. She thought about it while getting out of bed. She thought about it while deciding she needed a cold shower. She thought about it even when she told herself not to waste her time thinking about it.But no matter how much she told herself there was nothing to be done unless Simon and she reached some kind of understanding (which seemed almost impossible considering how they both wanted two different things and neither of them was ready to relent even a bit), her mind continued to obsess over what he said that morning.“I’m crazy for you,” she could still hear his words ringing in her head. “Crazy enough to do stupid things, crazy enough to bring my world to your feet.”Elena shook her head and tried to dispel the impact of his words. She tried really hard not to let them sink into her mind and plant seeds of hope and expectation. But no matter how hard she tried to think otherwise, to make her heart not beat the way it was, she simply could

    There were days when Elena knew where her life was heading, and then there were days like these when she hadn’t got a single fucking clue.One minute, the man does everything in his might to cut her off from the real world and then he brings the one person who has become her entire world as if it’s no big deal. For the life of her, she failed to understand this man—this Simon Walsh.Why was he the way he was? What was he hoping to get from confusing the hell out of her? Sure, seeing Caleb had been the best thing that happened to her in the last few days, but…but what was she supposed to do now that he had given up on that one thing he could have used against her and made her do anything he wished her to do?Of course, her next line of thought was to find a way and get the hell out of this place, but even that was absolutely impossible right now, considering since the day she woke up she hadn’t seen many people around. There was staff that helped to take care of the mansion, and then th

    Confused, she turned around and watched him walk over to the small mini bar he had in the corner of the room and poured a hefty glass of water.“Here,” he pushed the glass across the counter, as if inviting her to join him.Should she? Was it safe?She shook her head. Of course, it was safe. It was merely a glass of water, and he had poured it right in front of her eyes. Not to forget her throat did feel dry like a fucking desert.She took the water and gulped it down, wary of his presence still.To know that he was close did something to her skin. It prickled.“I should go now,” she started to leave when he reached for her wrist and held tight.“You were looking for me, weren’t you?”Strange, but he wasn’t wrong. She was looking for him. She had something to discuss.For the life of her, however, she couldn’t remember shit. Perhaps she was still a little shocked by the possibility of a fatal fall. She needed to moment, clearly, to be back herself again.“No?” she lied, but who cared?

    By the time Simon was done with her, it was already way past lunch. Elena sat up when she realized the time, huffing and panting, trying to catch her breath after he tired her out with his insatiable hardness that refused to go soft, no matter how much he filled her to the brim.Fuck. She had never seen him like this before, like he had no control over himself, like he never wanted to stop. But eventually, he did, and she could finally think of something other than how he would take her next, what else she could do to satisfy the beast inside him.With her throat dry, she started grabbing her clothes that had been strewn all over the floor. However, she had barely pulled up and buttoned her jeans when she felt Simon behind her once again, hugging her back and dropping kisses on her shoulder.“Why don’t you move into my room?” he asked, as if it were the most innocent thing he had in mind, as if he weren’t indirectly trying to make things easier for himself.Elena rolled her eyes but di

    “Auntie Elena, I’m all wet,” Caleb yelled from the shore as she watched him retreat from the approaching wave, narrowly avoiding another drenching.She shook her head. God, this boy! She thought to herself.“I told you not to go too far,” she said as she kicked off her shoes and jogged over to where he stood, grabbing his hand and pulling him back to the dry part of the beach.“But I wanted to see the wave up close,” he whined, as if it made all the difference in the world. “Auntie Elena, do you think our home is on the other side of the ocean? Can we reach it by boat?” Suddenly filled with excitement, she watched his eyes widen and he jumped. “No, wait. Can we build a boat? That would be so, so cool, Auntie Elena, wouldn’t it? Can we build one? Please, please, please?”Elena didn’t know what to say.Could they build a boat? No. Did she want him to build a boat? Not at all.“Maybe some other time, sweetie,” she said lovingly, hoping to buy some time and distract him enough before he mo

    After tucking Caleb into bed, Elena stepped out of his room and closed the door gently behind her. However, she paused, frowning when she tried to open her own room’s door and couldn’t.Strange, she remembered not locking it from the outside. In fact, she never locked it from the outside, considering she never really had the keys.What the hell was going on? Was the door stuck?She groaned. It was already past dinner, and after spending the entire evening at the beach, chasing Caleb and trying to ignore Simon and his advances, she was tired as hell. She just wanted to drop onto the bed and sleep for at least a century.But no. Luck wouldn’t have it that way, would it?She scrunched up her face in annoyance and went downstairs to find the caretaker—the only person who might know what to do with the door that refused to let her in. She found Sato, the old lady, in the kitchen as usual, wrapping up everything before heading to her quarters. When Sato noticed Elena, she turned her full at

  • 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
