My mysterious billionaire Chapter ten: interrupted conversations
Emily’s POV As I was led through the dimly lit corridors of the building, my mind raced with a whirlwind of emotions. Fear, anger, and determination battled within me, each vying for dominance as I struggled to make sense of the situation I found myself in. The two imposing figures flanking me remained silent, their presence was intimidating as they guided me deeper into the heart of Blackwood's domain. I couldn't help but wonder what awaited me at the end of this journey, what fate Alexander had in store for me now that he had me firmly in his clutches. As we reached a heavy metal door at the end of the hallway, one of the guards pushed it open, revealing a dimly lit room beyond. I stepped inside cautiously, my senses on high alert as I took in my surroundings. The room was sparsely furnished, with only a desk and a couple of chairs scattered about. There wasn’t even a bed here, but I could manage. At least it was clean. The air was heavy with tension, thick with the weigh
My mysterious billionaire Chapter eleven: A handsome Devil
Emily’s POV I was shocked at first. They looked ready to shoot at me, and their entrance was so chaotic that it meant that they didn’t work for Alexander. My life was now at risk because I decided to play with fire. And then… I saw Alexander’s face. He wasn’t angry, he wasn’t scared. He was annoyed. “I told you to wait for my signal.” They were his men? Why did he do something like this? Was he trying to scare me? As I stood there, surrounded by armed men, thousands of questions appeared in my mind, making a sense of dread washed over me like a tidal wave. It was clear that Alexander's influence extended far beyond what I had ever imagined, and now I was at his mercy. But despite the fear that threatened to consume me, I refused to back down. I squared my shoulders and met Alexander's gaze head-on, a flicker of defiance burning bright within me. "What is this?" I demanded, my voice trembling with anger and uncertainty. "Some kind of sick joke?" Alexander's expression rem
My mysterious billionaire Chapter one: Deadline
THIRD PERSON POV:The neon lights of New York City flickered in the reflection of a puddle as Emily Carter rushed past. She was late, again. She tried to run as fast as she could, but once again she hadn’t managed her time well. She hugged her green jacket tighter against her chest to protect herself from the chill of the autumn air, her red hair was getting all over her face, while her glasses slipped constantly from the bridge of her nose. The late-night silence enveloping her with every hurried step she took towards the aging building that housed The Daily Chronicle. The paper that was usually her home, her battleground, but tonight, it felt like the scene of her impending execution. Her phone buzzed relentlessly in her pocket, a stark reminder of the deadline looming over her head like a guillotine. Emily knew what awaited her; the same grim faces in the editorial room, the ticking clock that seemed to mock her dwindling career, and the all-too-familiar taste of panic that no amo
My mysterious billionaire Chapter two: A ray of hope.
THIRD PERSON POVThe early morning light filtered softly through the blinds of Emily’s small, cluttered apartment, casting long shadows across the room where she sat. She was surrounded by piles of notes and open tabs on her laptop. Her green eyes now red from the irritation from hours of research. Emily scanned the latest article she’d found on Alexander Blackwood, but the information was the same. Despite the myriad of articles on his business achievements and social appearances, the man behind the empire remained a mystery, a shadow slipping through the cracks of the public eye. The only thing that proved that he was still a man, and not a machine were some articles taking about some arguments he had with another billionaire. Apparently he was his nemesis, and they had a few encounters were things didn’t end up so friendly. Emily considered approaching this man first, but discarded the idea immediately. Determined, Emily left her apartment that morning with a plan to approach Blac

She wanted to pinch herself to prove that it wasn’t a dream, as it seemed that some kind of miracle had happened. The encounter with Alexander Blackwood had left her in deep thought, the unexpected turn of events leaving her with more questions than answers. Why did he find her? When did he see her? She thought that he hadn't even noticed her, but apparently she was wrong.Entering her apartment, she sank into the worn armchair by the window, her gaze drifting to the laptop still open on her cluttered desk. With a sense of renewed purpose by the night's events, she began to type, her fingers dancing across the keys as she chronicled the twists and turns of her encounter with the elusive billionaire. She didn't have much personal information, but she concentrate
My mysterious billionaire Chapter four: Playing with fire
THIRD PERSON POVAs Emily stepped out into the cool night air, her mind raced with anticipation. She had just secured a strong ally during her meeting with Victor Sterling. He was a man whose insights into Alexander Blackwood's world could prove invaluable. Still, she couldn’t help but feel like she has sold her souls to the devil. She tried to forget about everything that had happened, to return for once to who she was before this whole journey started. But even as she walked the bustling streets of New York City, her thoughts kept returning to the enigmatic billionaire himself.Lost in her thoughts, Emily scarcely noticed the figure approaching her until it was too late. In fact, she had to run into him, and it was as if she had hit a wall of bricks. She looked up to find Alexander Blackwood standing before her, his piercing blue eyes locking onto hers with an intensity that sent a shiver down her spine. She knew she had to apologize, but words seemed to have vanished from her memor
My mysterious billionaire Chapter five: Unraveling secrets
Emily’s POVThe next morning dawned with a sense of urgency in the air. As I woke to the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the blinds, I knew that I had a deadline looming over me like a dark cloud. Kevin's phone call last night served as a stark reminder that time was of the essence, and I couldn't afford to waste a single moment.Dragging myself out of bed, I made my way to the kitchen, the scent of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the faint aroma of city streets wafting in through the open window. I poured myself a cup of coffee and settled down at my cluttered desk, my laptop open and waiting.As I reviewed the notes from my encounter with Alexander Blackwood, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to him than met the eye. His charm and charisma were undeniable, but there was an undercurrent of darkness lurking beneath the surface, a mystery waiting to be unraveled. And I also couldn’t stop thinking why he had a rivalry with Victor. From what I gathere
My mysterious billionaire Chapter six: A dangerous dance
As I delved deeper into the labyrinth of Alexander Blackwood's world, each step felt like a dance with danger. The trail of clues I followed led me to shadowy corners of the city, where whispers of corruption and intrigue lingered in the air. It was during one of these late-night excursions that I found myself once again face-to-face with the elusive billionaire. This time, our encounter was far from intentional, as if fate itself had conspired to bring us together. I had been following a lead that took me to an exclusive nightclub frequented by Blackwood and his inner circle. With Kevin's support, I had managed to secure an invitation, disguising myself as a wealthy socialite in order to blend in with the crowd. You had to belong to this world to enter to the club, and even if that wasn’t my case, I would play my part perfectly. When I entered the club I saw different people dancing on the dance floor. Sweat, liqueur and cologne could be smelled all over the place. It would

My mysterious billionaire Chapter nine: Into the lions den
Emily’s POV I didn’t have enough information, but Kevin was pressuring me, and what I had was enough to stir the public. As I made my way to the office, my heart raced with a mix of fear and determination. I knew the risks involved in publishing the article exposing Alexander Blackwood's ties to the mafia, but I also knew that it was the right thing to do. The truth had to be brought to light, no matter the consequences. I wished I had more time to investigate further, but it was all I had, and it was time to publish it. I walked the streets quickly, I wanted to get to the office as fast as possible. But as I stepped out onto the busy street near my office, I felt a chill run down my spine. Something wasn't right. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end as I scanned the crowd, my senses on high alert. And then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw him. Alexander Blackwood. He was standing across the street, his gaze fixed on me with an intensity that sent shivers all over

The encounter with him had been intense, to say the least, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to him than met the eye. But I pushed those thoughts aside, focusing instead on the task at hand: unraveling the mysteries that surrounded his vast empire. As I made my way back to my apartment, the weight of Victor Sterling's warning was still heavy on my mind. It was clear that I was treading on dangerous ground, and I knew that I couldn't afford to let my guard down, not even for a moment. But despite the risks, I was determined to uncover the truth, no matter what obstacles stood in my way. Now I had to rest, it was already daytime, and I had spent the last twenty-four hours investigating. My brain needed sleep, and I needed to process everything that I had uncovered. Also, I needed to find new resources, people that could give me the information that
My mysterious billionaire Chapter seven: A friendly warning?
Emily’s POV Startled, I turned to find Victor Sterling standing before me, his expression inscrutable as he regarded me with a piercing gaze. "Mr. Sterling," I replied, my voice betraying me. I didn’t want him to notice the unease I felt at his unexpected visit. "What brings you here?" He stepped forward, his presence filled the whole area with an almost palpable intensity. "I couldn't help but notice your… association with Alexander Blackwood," he said, his tone laced with contempt. I squared my shoulders, refusing to let his disdain affect me. He was supposed to help me to unravel his secrets, and yet, here he was, telling me that I should not be talking to Alexander. "And what of it?" I asked, meeting his gaze head-on. Victor's lips twisted into a sardonic smile. "I think you know exactly what I'm talking about, Miss Carter. You've been poking around in places you shouldn't be, asking questions that could get you killed." I gulped and felt a chill run down
