TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 13, WARM WELCOME
"Hurry up Matt!" Maddie screamed from outside as she put the last of her stuff inside the boot of the vehicle parked outside her home. Jake Conat had sent the vehicle to them to help them in moving over to his place. The wind was blowing against Maddie's hair causing it to fly all over, even covering her face. She had to reach into her coat's pocket to take out a hair band, which she immediately used to hold her hair up together into a ponytail. She was dressed in a casual wear of pants and a turtle neck sweatshirt, with the coat draped over her body. A few minutes later, Mathew finally came outside dressed in a tracksuit and a hoodie and carrying a single bag. He moved to put it in the boot as Maddie, who had stepped away from the boot, eyed him. "Is that all you are bringing?" she asked him. The bag Mathew had brought outside with him had been quite small, and it was the only bag he was bringing along with him and hence Maddie's question. "Yeah… Everything I need is in there,"
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 14, DINNER
"Wow!" Maddie exclaimed with widened eyes as she took in the overall decor of her bedroom. The room was Chic and Polished yet Simple at the same time. The room was spacious and rugged. The lighting was natural as there were two large windows aligned on both sides of the room with the bed, which had covers and pillows comprising of soft pastels of peach, and mounted right in the centre of the room. A few metres in front of the bed was a desk with a minimal chair giving the vibes of a cozy workplace as a laptop was right on top of the desk with a few books piled by the side, and a flower vase containing fresh flowers on the other side, and just a few metres away from where the desk and the chair was set up was the door which Maddie and Andrew had stepped in from. Not far from where the bed stood, by the side, was another door, leading to the toilet and bathroom. The interior colouring combined peach and white, including the wallpapers. There was also also a huge wardrobe set up on one
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 15, GRAND TOUR OF THE CONAT'S RESIDENCE
Immediately after dinner, Andrew proceeded to give Maddie a grand tour of the house as per his word which he had given to her earlier, while Jake Conat called Mathew with him to his office study. Andrew started the tour from inside the mansion, from the dining room to be precise. First he gave her a tour of the really spacious kitchen, which was next to the dining room and had high-end gadgets and furnishings. And then they moved to the pantry and then down the hallway to the bend, which led to the living room. The first thing Maddie noticed as they stepped into the living room was the high end materials and finishes, including antique furnitures that provided comfortable seating, elegant side tables and coffee tables, a quite tall bookshelf, expensive draperies and curtains of finest textile, and decorated artworks hung on the walls. The living room like the rest of the mansion had a high ceiling characterised with multi-tiered chandeliers. There was also fairly large windows, which
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 16, FEISTY MADDIE
Jake kept his gaze fixed on Maddie, she stood transfixed staring at him from the distance he had left her. First he pressed his eyebrows closely together in wonderment, and then he cackled a chuckle as a thought occurred to him _ She wasn't hesitating because she was reading another meaning to his request now, was she? "Wait a minute! You are not actually thinking that I am asking you to come with me into my room because I want to be alone with you, are you? Jesus Maddie, you are in no way my class!" Jake's words came as a slap across Maddie's cheek, knives piercing through her heart deeply. And the condescending look he held as he looked at her while sputtering those words was not helping matters. Did he really have to outright insult her by calling her classless? Did her? Maddie raised an eyebrow as she played Jake's words in her head again. What happened to using honorifics with her? He had called her Maddie! She was trying so hard to keep it all in, the anger coursing through
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 17, FIRST DAY ON THE JOB 1
Maddie had already turned off the bedside lamp on the bedside table right next to her bed, by the right side, and she had even started to doze off when she heard her phone suddenly beeped rather noisy on the bedside table, the sound jerked her awake. At first, she wanted to ignore the beeping sound, but she had a feeling that it could be important so she reached out for her phone, and when she checked, she saw that she had just received a text message. It was from an unknown number but she knew that it was from Jake. She just knew it was him. He had collected her number back then but he hadn't communicated with her directly. Well, not until now… Her heart pounded wildly against her ribcage as she proceeded to open the text message. It read: "Tomorrow is your first day on the job. Be up by 5am to get ready. The butler will brief you on everything pertaining to Andrew, his daily schedule and everything else. He would also brief you on your job as his nanny." The text ended. A sigh
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 18, FIRST DAY ON THE JOB 2
Maddie felt so warm and full just watching Andrew eat with so much relish that she barely even touched her own food. Andrew's chair was taller than all the other chairs in the dining room so that he could be able to eat comfortably from the table. One thing Maddie had noticed about Andrew was that he usually ate his meal wholeheartedly and she liked it. The sudden beeping of Maddie's phone made her avert her gaze from Andrew to her phone, which she had placed on the table. She checked to see that her brother had sent her a text message. She opened it. It read: "Guess who else has a job now? Me!" He added a winking emoji and a dancing emoji to the text. . "Really? He gave him a job already," Maddie mumbled in surprise and Andrew's head turned to her. "What did you say Miss Maddie?" Andrew asked her as he had clearly heard her saying something but had not heard what she had said because of how low her voice had been. "Oh it's nothing Sweetie, I was just saying something to myself, t
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 19, FIRST DAY ON THE JOB 3
Maddie didn't know how long she spent reading the book she had picked up. It was one of those inspirational novels about success and how to be successful. Reading was one other hobby Maddie had aside cleaning and cooking and since being in the Conat's mansion was most probably going to deny her room to cook or clean, she was grateful that she could at least read. How had they even known to add a stack of books in her room? She wondered. The sudden chiming of the alarm on her bedside table made her to avert her gaze from the book to the clock. She had set an alarm for 12pm so that she could at least go check in on Andrew and know how he was doing and if he needed anything. Closing the book she had been reading, and then making her way out of the room, Maddie made her way to the second floor, pausing by the door of the hall which served as Andrew's classroom. She couldn't exactly see through the top panels of amber coloured glass panes in the door so she moved further down the hall, to
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 20, ASSISTANT TO THE PERSONAL ASSISTANT
In her bedroom, Maddie continued to study the book she had started reading in the morning but she couldn't concentrate as her mind kept wandering. She couldn't help but wonder why Jake and her brother wasn't back home yet. Did Jake usually work until this late in the night on weekdays or had he perhaps travelled out of the country and wouldn't be back that day? After all, Andrew had mentioned that he loved to travel a lot. But if he had indeed travelled, had he taken Mathew with him? Mathew would have at least informed her via call or text if that was the case though. Maddie couldn't help but wonder why Jake was being so good to her. Giving her a high paying job, and even giving her brother a job. Not to mention loaning her a million dollars to settle the loan sharks, he had even been willing to pay her that exact amount of money as monthly salary to be Andrew's nanny but being someone who hated more than anything to take advantage of others and to be a charity case, she had stopped h

The sun was slowly dipping below the horizon, casting a rather warm and golden hue over the serene seascape. The air was cool and soothing. The gentle sound of waves crashing against each other gave off a a soothing backdrop to the scene. Along the sandy shore, an aisle was crafted, adorned with seashells and colourful flowers. Audrey had been the one in charge of all the wedding decorations and she had done one hell of a job! The salty breeze carried with it a sense of anticipation, mingling with the laughter and chatter of everyone gathered, half of which the wedding couple didn't even know. Being the global favourite couple, people had come for their wedding from all around the globe. The place was packed full. It was a good thing that the private beach was immensely spacious. Underneath beautifully constructed bamboo arches, adorned with billowing fabrics and fresh blooming flowers, the guests were sitting in groups.

TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 153, JUSTICE SERVED
The long awaited day of the trial of the state versus Linsley Conat finally came. As the masses were now actively involved in this case, Linsley Conat had been unable to bribe her way out of prison. The few people she knew in power in the judiciary system refused to help her. Her last resort, which had been to fake mental illness, had fallen apart because her son had made sure to cut her off completely from those that might be able to help her fake the reports and all the other necessary documents. Backed in a corner, helpless, all she had been able to do was wait dejectedly in her cell for the day of her trial…"All rise!"Everyone in the courtroom rose immediately as the command from the judicial assistant rang out. The judge stepped in and it was after he took his seat that he muttered a lazy, "Sit!" and everyone else in the courtroom took their respective seats.From across the courtroom, Linsley's almost lifeless eyes caught sight of her son and she gave him the most deathly st

It was all over the news the next morning being a Saturday, every news channel was airing it. Newspapers, magazines both online and in hard copy print all carried the news of the arrest of Linsley Conat. The news however didn't say under what grounds she was arrested but in the news published by Starlight Media agency, they announced that the son of Linsley Conat, Jake Conat had agreed to an exclusive interview to discuss the subject of his mother's arrest and give them all the scoop there was. The interview was scheduled for the next day being Sunday. The internet was in a frenzy. Jake got a call from the company warning him not to come because the paparazzi were everywhere. Even the security stationed far ahead at the entrance of the street leading to the mansion had called to inform him that the paparazzi were gathered there as well. Thankfully, the paparazzi couldn't get into the street because of the tight security at the entrance so they couldn't get anywhere close to the ma
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 151, HARD CHOICE
It was a lot. Everything that had happened in the past couple days. It was too much revelation. She was angry, bitter, sad, frustrated, and hurt but most of all, what she felt the most was fear. The fear of losing the love she shared with Jake. The fear of losing the happiness he had brought into her life. The fear of losing the peace he had brought her. The fear of losing the complete perfect family she had envisioned. The fear of losing her brother even. It was because of this fear that she hadn't come to a decision all the while or even address the situation. Now she was ready. She knew what she had to do. Karen had ended their session with the words, "Maddie dear, don't forget that the past is past. It actually has no control whatsoever on your present or future, not unless you allow it. Your happiness does not lie in the past but in your now." Karen's words had been the final push she had needed to come to a decision… "Welcome mummy," Andrew who was in the living room rushed
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 150, SHRINK SESSION
Maddie had been sitting right across Karen for roughly fifteen minutes already, yet she hadn't said a word other than the greeting she had muttered to the lady when she had first stepped in. The warm smile playing on the therapist's face didn't falter, she continued waiting patiently for Maddie to speak. Drawing a sharp breath, Maddie finally opened her mouth to speak. "I umm, it's umm, complicated. I don't even know where to start." Karen's smile widened. "You can start anywhere you like Maddie. " The way Karen's office was designed, it was a modern office setting with an office table and a chair, and then across the table on the other end were two other chairs, arranged to slantingly face each other. There were a stretch of cupboards right behind the office table and chairs, at the far end of the wall, it contained drawers containing files of patients. Ahead of the office table before one got to the door or if one came from the door, were two adjacent reclining sofas. This w
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 149, NEWS OF THE CENTURY
"Idiot!" Linsley cursed under her breath the moment Stephanie was gone, kicking at her feet in fury, and just then her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and then picked the call rather hurriedly. "So, have you found that fool Harry?" she asked the person on the other line. "No we haven't. He seems to have disappeared," came the reply from the person on the other line. "Then find his f**king family fool and use them to lure him out!" She practically yelled into the phone. "Well, umm, his father and younger sister have disappeared as well. I think your son is protecting them by keeping them hidden somewhere." "Arrrgh!" Linsley screamed, tossing her phone across the wall in anger. "Incompetent fools!" she cursed, and then started to parade about the room. Her son was protecting Harry! Was he f**king insane? He had threatened to send her to jail but it had just been an empty threat, right? Well, she was beginning to think of the threat as more than just an empty threat.

Jake couldn't believe she was really in his arms. Sleeping so soundly with her face pressed against his chest. He had been on his way out to get himself a fresh cup of coffee when the knock on his door had sounded. He had immediately known it was her. So, he had quickly answered the door and alas! It had been indeed her!Even though she had not exactly voiced out her reason for being there, he had seen it playing so evidently in her eyes. But then, there had been conflicting emotions playing in her eyes too and she had almost scurried away. Thank goodness he hadn't let her! He hadn't known where the courage had come from to ask her to stay and let him cuddle her. He had almost thought she wouldn't stay or let him even as much as touch her but she had agreed. She had stayed and now she was in his arms.However, Jake didn't know whether to be pleased or not. It was almost like she was giving herself one last time to be with him, and then afterwards she would leave him for good. It wa
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 147, FEELINGS UNCHANGED
"You umm, you have something on your mouth," Jake's voice sounded seconds later when Maddie didn't look away like he had expected her to when their gazes first locked. His shaky voice gave away his nervousness. He wasn't lying though, she did have food particles smeared on one corner of her lips.On hearing his words, Maddie reached for a serviette piece on the table to wipe her mouth all over as Jake hadn't specifically pointed out the part of her mouth that was smeared with food particles. And she wasn't ready to ask him for specifics. As she performed this action, Jake found his eyes lowering to her lips, swallowing as he remembered how it tasted. She finished cleaning her mouth, her eyes returning to him and catching the desire playing in his eyes. Her gaze on him turned into a glare and he quickly looked away from her feeling slightly embarrassed. "Mummy, can you please pass me the ketchup?" Andrew's voice was Jake's saving grace as Maddie averted her gaze from him to her s
TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE DAD CHAPTER 146, NOT THE SAME
Jake did well to stay out of Maddie's way for the rest of the evening. Even skipping dinner. He was already content enough that she had returned to the mansion although he knew that her reason for returning was most probably because of her son. It had been evident in her face earlier when she saw him after getting out of the car. The way she had turned away from him so swiftly. He was pretty sure that if she could, she would have dug a hole and hidden herself in it right there and then. It was how much she despised him now. Well, she did have every right to. Closing his laptop, Jake rose from his chair and started to make his way out of the office study. He proceeded towards the kitchen in the second floor, opening the refrigerator to take out a foil covered plate. The plate contained the quesadilla pizza his son had given him earlier saying that Maddie and him had baked it and kept some for him. He knew that them keeping some for him was all his son and not at all Maddie's decis
