My Cold Billionaire 50. Secret Mission
In the early morning, Kimberly was already busy arranging all of Nicholas's belongings into his suitcase. Today, the man had a schedule to depart for the Maldives to inspect the construction project site. While Kimberly continued to tidy up the contents of the suitcase, Nicholas himself seemed busy preparing. He had been sorting through and selecting which clothes he should wear. "Do you think I look good in which outfit?" Nicholas asked, still wearing his bathrobe. His eyes were busy scanning the neatly hung pile of clothes inside the closet. Kimberly glanced briefly in Nicholas's direction. Then, after a while, she got up and approached him. "Hmm, do you need to wear a suit?" she asked. Nicholas shook his head gently. "No need. Besides, once I arrive, I'll head straight to the hotel. I'll only inspect the site the next day." Kimberly nodded in understanding. She then shifted her gaze to the closet. Her hand reached out to open Nicholas's hanging clothes one by one. After a sho

Kimberly had checked her phone screen more than ten times. Nicholas had promised to keep in touch since less than 24 hours ago. But look at it now. It was already 9 PM, and he hadn't sent a single message, making her feel uneasy. He promised to always keep in touch. Look at it now. He even broke his promise. Kimberly let out a frustrated sigh. Her mood soured instantly. Typical man. They were all the same. Liars!Right after Kimberly finished cursing under her breath, her phone rang loudly. She quickly grabbed it and answered the call. "Hello," she said with irritation in her tone. "Why are you only calling me now!" Kimberly asked in an annoyed tone. She was already upset because she had been waiting for news from him for a while. Nicholas laughed on the other end of the line. "Oh my God. I'm sorry, Kimberly. As soon as I arrived in the Maldives, Claudia and the other business associates took me straight to the construction site. It seems they couldn't wait to inspect it."

It's almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and Kimberly's work still isn't finished. Since Nicholas left, for some reason, her tasks have piled up so much. Perhaps she's massaged her throbbing temples more than three times by now. What can she do? If she doesn't finish it now, it might pile up even more. Of course, she'll be the one in trouble later. Not to mention Nicholas, who will surely complain if the deadline he gave isn't met on time. He's very professional when it comes to work. Despite being engaged, Kimberly is still treated like any other employee. As she's analyzing the graphs on the computer screen, Kimberly's activities suddenly come to a halt upon the appearance of someone she should have avoided. "Here's your lunch. It seems like you haven't eaten yet." A handsome man approaches and hands Kimberly two lunch boxes. After confirming that the food is accepted, he doesn't leave right away. He chooses to sit and watch Kimberly, who is still busy working. "You should eat f

"Darling... wake up," Nicholas whispered as he gently kissed Kimberly's cheek. It was countless times now that Nicholas had tried to wake Kimberly. Since locking her in his room, their activities had consisted of nothing more than longing embraces and sharing stories. Nicholas himself didn't know what time they had gone to sleep the previous night. All he remembered was Kimberly suddenly dozing off while holding onto him. That might be the reason why she was finding it hard to wake up now, even though they had to go to work as usual today. Feeling at a loss, Nicholas kissed Kimberly's lips, savoring them before giving them a gentle nip. He had to do this deliberately to make her wake up. Kimberly squirmed irritably. "You cheater! You had the audacity to wake me up like that," she grumbled while sitting up and stretching her stiff muscles. A moment later, she scooted down from the bed. "Where are you going?" Nicholas pulled Kimberly back to the edge of the bed. "I'm going to take a
My Cold Billionaire 54. What Happening
Three days ago, Nicholas was sitting in an executive lounge inside the airport. His flight to the Maldives would take off in just one more hour. While waiting, he chose to read stock market news on his handheld tablet. Before long, Nicholas's phone rang. He had just received a new message from the woman he loved.Kimberly: [I've arrived at the office. It hasn't been long since we parted, but I already miss you.]Unconsciously, Nicholas smiled as he read the message. Kimberly was indeed different from most other women. She was carefree, somewhat assertive, and never shy about expressing her feelings. That's why, if asked what was making Nicholas happy right now, his answer would be just one word, 'Kimberly.' Only she could currently bring color back into his life. Nicholas: [I must miss you too. Now, get to work quickly. Complete all the tasks I assigned to you. I won't hesitate to cut your salary if that deadline isn't met soon.]Kimberly: [You're scolding me at a time like this?]N

"Nick, we need to talk seriously!" Edward stood up and approached the spot where Nicholas was sitting. After completing the impromptu meeting in Nicholas's office with several division heads, Edward chose to stay. There was something that, in his opinion, needed to be resolved promptly. Nicholas, who was still busy signing some important documents, only responded briefly to Edward's statement. "Get to the point. You know I'm not the type of person who likes to beat around the bush," Nicholas said without shifting his gaze. "It's about Kimberly. You really went too far earlier. Why did you have to shout at her and drive her away like that?" Edward interrogated. His eye expression indicated his displeasure. "I did what was appropriate, Ed. You know that if she spills drinks all over important documents on the table, I might have fired any other employee on the spot," Nicholas replied casually. There was not a hint of guilt on his face. Edward grunted in frustration. He had begun to t

For more than thirty minutes, Mario waited anxiously outside the emergency unit room. Finding Kimberly suddenly fainting had clearly panicked him. What had actually happened to his friend? Was she ill? Was she under too much pressure? What burdens was she carrying? All these questions filled Mario's mind. Kimberly's pale face, swollen eyes – her condition was chaotic. Did all of this have something to do with Nicholas? If I find out that Nicholas caused all of this, he won't escape from me! Mario sighed deeply, his gaze fixed unwaveringly on the emergency room door. Nearly losing his patience and contemplating breaking in, he finally saw the doctor he had been waiting for emerge and approach. "How is she, doctor?" Mario asked, unable to conceal his anxiety. "Is the young lady inside your sister?" Mario chose to nod. "Yes, doc. How is she?" "Her condition is unstable. Her blood pressure is very low. And, I apologize if this is forward, but are you aware if your sister is currently
My Cold Billionaire 57. Promise Me
Nicholas fell silent as he gazed at a series of photos of Kimberly on his phone. These were the pictures he had taken secretly during their recent trip to London. He had captured quite a few moments, from her smiling to pouting and even laughing freely. The woman looked beautiful in every pose she struck. Delving into each image stored on his phone, Nicholas unconsciously smiled. He had to admit that she had brought significant changes to his life, injecting color and freshness when his heart was barren due to the deep wounds Claire had inflicted before. Nicholas closed his eyes for quite a while, trying to recall the memory of when they first met. Well, it all started with that accidental encounter when Kimberly inadvertently bumped into him, causing both of them to tumble to the floor. Then, his memory shifted to the first time Kimberly had hugged him. She had been frightened when trapped in the archive building during a power outage. Perhaps out of all those memories, what stood

The next two months."Nick, I think you should come home soon. Your face looks really pale now," Edward suggested. They had just returned from a meeting outside the office.Nicholas sighed deeply while continuing to massage his temples. For some reason, since yesterday, he had been feeling unwell. Now, it even felt worse than before."I can't, Ed. I need to finish my tasks soon. I have only a week left before I really move from Alpha Beta and take care of Rayder Corp," Nicholas replied, still holding his forehead.Edward shook his head vigorously. He was very certain that his friend's condition was not okay at the moment. He was just afraid that something bad might happen to Nicholas."In that case, I'll get you some hot tea." Edward then got up and walked quickly to the pantry. He grabbed a cup of tea and brought it immediately to Nicholas's room, handing it over."Drink it quickly. After this, I'll help you finish all your tasks so you can go home early."Nicholas nodded and reached

Its location is not far from Pura Luhur Uluwatu and the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park.Embracing a beachfront wedding theme, all preparations had reached 95%.

He was amazed by what his mother had done.Cassandra clasped her hands to her chest, a smile on her lips as she heard her son's praise."I'll do anything for you, my dear.

All the invited guests never ceased to congratulate Nicholas and Kimberly. Everyone seemed lost in the euphoria of this luxurious engagement party.While all the guests were busy enjoying their meals, Nicholas, who was watching Cassandra relaxing, went straight to her and pulled her to the garden's edge."Mom owes me an explanation," Nicholas whispered.Cassandra chuckled softly, keeping her composure. "Oh, come on, dear. Just enjoy your party for now. I promise to explain everything once everything's over."Nicholas shook his head in disbelief, observing his mother's behavior. Meanwhile, in a different location, Kimberly also looked puzzled. She chose to remain silent but kept her facial expression looking joyful. Yes, even though she was genuinely surprised and, of course, happy. However, amidst all this, she hadn't even exchanged a word with Nicholas. The two of them mostly just stared at each other without speaking.After the guests left one by one, Cassandra kept her promise. She
My Cold Billionaire 82. Big Surprise
Since morning, Kimberly has been busy packing her belongings to put them in her suitcase. After hearing Arthur Rayder's explanation about Nicholas last night, she decided to join the man in London as soon as possible.Enjoying the packing process, Kimberly suddenly remembered that she didn't remember Nicholas's address or his parents' addresses. After thinking for a while, she realized who had helped her gather the information.Quickly, Kimberly grabbed her cellphone, searched for someone's number in her contacts list, and dialed it promptly. After three rings, the call was finally answered."Hello," a voice on the other side replied."Hello, Mr. Edward. It's me, Kimberly. Can I ask for your help?" Kimberly inquired."Oh my goodness, Kimberly," Edward exclaimed in surprise. "What's the reason for calling me so early in the morning?""Can I... Can I ask about Nicholas's address in London?" Kimberly hesitantly asked."Of course, you can. But, I'm sorry in advance, why are you asking for

Arthur remembered well that Veronica, his wife, had been very active in charity work. Then, at some point, she accidentally met Cassandra, a young woman who had dedicated half of her life to helping street children and orphans. They both worked together to provide assistance until the time when Cassandra, by chance, met Robert Alistair, who was working in Singapore at that time. He also became the largest donor for the charity event organized by Veronica.Somehow, at some point, Cassandra developed a relationship with Robert Alistair and decided to get married. After becoming husband and wife, Robert brought Cassandra with him to England. Since then, Veronica and Arthur rarely met Cassandra. It was only occasionally when she was traveling to Singapore.Arthur reached for the teacup already placed on his table. He took a sip and continued speaking. "So, what brings you all the way here to meet me?"Cassandra took her own drink, sipped it slowly, and then placed her cup back on the tabl

Mario never seemed tired of smiling at all the guests who attended. His face was radiant after formally getting engaged just a few hours ago.Arthur was also delighted. The old man was even busy socializing with the business colleagues who were present at the party.Among the many happy people, only Kimberly seemed ordinary. She even appeared distant from the crowd, choosing to sit alone in one corner of the event room while continuously gazing at Mario from a distance.She should have felt relieved because she wasn't the one accompanying Mario tonight. Yes, a few days ago, Kimberly almost couldn't breathe when he suddenly brought up the topic of engagement. She thought that her grandfather, Arthur, was really going to arrange a match between them. However, Mario revealed that he would be engaged to another woman."So, is Grandpa really going to arrange a match between us?" Mario didn't immediately answer. He remained silent for quite a while, which only made Kimberly's thoughts wande

For the translated text in American English with correct grammar, please see below:"For the past two days, Arthur had been observing Kimberly, who seemed so gloomy. The woman went to work listlessly and returned home in silence. Usually, Kimberly always had something to share with him, whether it was work-related issues or just casual conversations about her daily life.Curious, that evening, Arthur finally asked Mario when the two of them had just returned from the office. He was convinced that Mario knew what was happening with his granddaughter lately."Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Mario asked while they were in Arthur's office.Arthur, who was engrossed in reading a book, paused. He first took off his glasses and then placed the book he had been holding aside."Have a seat," Arthur instructed. "There's something I want to ask you."Mario complied with Arthur's request, taking a seat right next to the elderly man."What does grandpa want to ask about?""About

"I choose Alpha Beta," Arthur Rayder stared at Nicholas with an expression that was difficult to interpret after hearing what the man had chosen. He remained silent for quite some time before finally smiling and asking, "Are you sure you chose Alpha Beta over my granddaughter?"Nicholas nodded. "I'm sure. Very sure. Congratulations, in this game, you're the winner."Arthur squinted at Nicholas. There were many things he wanted to ask the man."As I suspected. You never really loved my granddaughter. It was quite evident when you chose money over—""You shouldn't jump to conclusions," Nicholas interrupted. Arthur glared at him. He didn't appreciate it when someone deliberately cut him off mid-sentence.Arthur sighed in his position. "Then what's your reason for not choosing Kimberly?"Nicholas took a slow breath. It wasn't easy making a decision like this."I love Kimberly. There's no other woman I love besides your granddaughter. However, I can't be selfish. I thought that if I cancel

Arthur was sitting casually in his office, looking at the neatly arranged photos of Kimberly in an album. Mario was there, accompanying the old man. He had been asked to come early in the morning, even though it was a holiday. Arthur wondered what he wanted to talk to Mario about.Arthur smiled as he commented, "Kimberly is such a cheerful girl. Look, in almost all these neatly arranged photos, she's always laughing or smiling." Arthur showed a specific photo to Mario.Mario looked at each photo that Arthur displayed. Kimberly appeared in various poses in the pictures. Mario nodded in agreement."In all the time I've known her, I've only seen Kimberly cry twice. First, when she found out her mother had passed away. Second, when she decided to leave Nicholas Alistair's apartment."Arthur leaned back in his chair. Hearing Mario's last sentence made his blood boil."That brat had the audacity to make my granddaughter cry. Who is he, daring to do such a thing?""They just had a misunderst
