THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR FOR HIM
Sophie glanced down at the list in her hand, quickly reading off the items she had written down to purchase. She had almost crossed off the list, she only had a few more things to purchase. She glanced at Tyler as he dumped the fresh peppers he had gotten off the rack into the stroller.“What next?” he asked, glancing up at her. Sophie stared at him for the millionth time that day, watching him wipe away the beads of sweat that had formed on his forehead with the sleeves of his grey T-shirt.His shirt fitted him perfectly. Sophie prided herself on choosing something so good for her man. The grey top hugged his biceps, making it look almost too tight for him but it was just right. As much as she loved the cloth on him, she hated it. She couldn't count the number of ladies that had stopped to ogle at him. Some had even taken the step to flirt with him.Which had annoyed her a great deal.“I want to get some tampons,” she listed off the list, still eyeing him closely.“That, I got you a
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR BURN THE ENTIRE WORLD
Adelaide moved about her apartment, vacuuming. Even after Manuel had asked her to clean up, she hadn't taken him seriously and when he came back last night, he had been furious. Hit her twice on the face.She hadn't retaliated. Heck, she couldn't even retaliate. All she had done was laugh. A sick sound escaped her because it was all she could do not to do anything stupid. She had sat there, holding her cheeks in disbelief once more like it was the first time it was happening while she laughed like a mad woman. She laughed for a very long time. She laughed till Manuel had taken a step back from her, wondering if it was appropriate for him to call 911. She laughed until she woke her baby up and had her little champion strolling into the living room to check if she was okay.Only then had she cried.Manuel hadn't been able to handle it as she had thought and he had walked out on her, leaving her to her mess. Now, he was going to be here in thirty minutes and she was still taking care of
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR DINNER WITH THE FAMILIA
"Sophie,” Tyler called as he shoved his hands into the black jeans he was donning. His eyes flickered to the large clock on the wall to check the time and he sighed when he saw that they were going to be late. Very late.“Sophie, come on.” He called again before walking down to the kitchen to pour himself a glass of wine. He needed all the wine he could get for tonight. As much as he needed to survive the dinner they were going to.Alicia and Mantha had gone ahead to call the shots once more, planning a family dinner he was anything but interested in. He wasn't looking forward to it. He didn't want to go but he couldn't exactly back out. He was left with no other choice.From the inside, Sophie tended to her makeup. When Tyler had told her about the dinner Gabriel and Alicia had invited them to, she had been a bit surprised. But she was excited to meet the cheerful woman again. She wrapped her hair into a chignon after the nude makeup she did on her face. Tyler had stopped trying to c
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR COFFEE DATE
It was the weekend and Tyler was out with Gabriel. Gabe had dropped by at the house earlier to talk to Tyler and her boyfriend had ended up following him out on her insistence. Sophie was moving about the house trying to finish doing the dishes when her phone started ringing.She bolted out of the kitchen to check who was calling. She made no plans with anybody for that weekend except for Kristen who had insisted on dropping by from the salon in a few minutes so they could go check out the place she had decided to purchase for her art gallery. But when she picked up her phone, it wasn't Kristen's name flashing on the ID. It was Mira's. With her brows furrowing, Sophie answered the call and placed it on speaker to talk to her father's wife.“Hi, Sophie!” The woman's voice was chirpy, better than she had ever heard it. Sophie swallowed, trying not to scratch her itchy hair. She needed to find time to go to the salon one of these days.“Hi,” she mumbled back, her voice low and quite uns
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR BOMBSHELL
Tyler simmered when his phone lit up with a text from Adelaide demanding that he send her the money she had requested and make arrangements for her to move in with him.He couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe her audacity to think he would ever allow it. Adelaide had taken almost everything he had. She had stripped him of his honor, dignity, and heart and she thought he would allow her back in?It was appalling for him.He hadn't been shocked when she revealed the recording given to her by his half-brothers. They had been the ones to navigate her presence into his life for the first time. So,of course, he was aware that her coming back now was their doing.He wasn't blind either. Tyler had seen the bruises on her. The purple stretches and marks highlighted her skin, peeking beneath whatever she chose to wear. He had seen them all and he hadn't cared. Why should he?It just seemed to disturb him a lot how someone who wouldn't allow a blemish on her skin could go about entertaining
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR BETRAYAL
The pounding in Sophie's head increased by the second as she tried to understand what the hell the woman seated in front of her was saying. She had picked up her glass of wine now like she couldn't resist not having a sip. The warm eyes that had regarded her that day she showed up at their apartment were filled with malicious glint.Her fingers trembled slightly and she gripped the hem of her clothes to steady herself. She looked at Tyler, seeing how shocked and dumbfounded he looked. But there was no hint of surprise in his eyes.So, she knew. She knew that the woman wasn't lying.“Hi, Sophie Pierce.” The woman she had welcomed with open arms addressed her by her full name while she sat there lost, staring at her. “My name is Adelaide and you are having an affair with my husband,” she pointed lightly to Tyler.Sophie reeled back like the additional information tipped her over the edge. It infact tipped her over the edge. She opened her mouth to say something but in the long run, she
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR I WILL KILL YOU!
The color drained out of Tyler's face as he realized what had just happened. His eyes were wide and cold like two frozen marbles. He clenched his fists, veins bulging in his neck. His whole body was shaking as he struggled to contain his fury. His jaw was clenched and his hands were balled into fist. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't even understand what was going on. He tried to wrap his head around it. Adelaide coming in, interrupting their dinner. Adelaide telling Sophie everything he had always wanted to tell her.He gulped when the papers he had seen earlier from her flashed in his mind, making his head pound. How could he have been so foolish? How didn't he know that she never signed the papers? How was it that for three fucking years, he wasn't aware of the fact that he was married to that devil on paper.It unnerved him as much as it infuriated him.When he turned around, he stormed back toward the table Adelaide was still sitting at. The little girl whom he still hadn't ac
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR HE KNEW HER
Days had passed since Sophie experienced that whole episode with Tyler and his legally married wife. They said time would heal open scars and wounds but with each day that had passed, Sophie hadn't found any of the wounds healing.If anything, she found them digging open wider at every thought of him.She just couldn't help it. She had nothing to do except to sit on her own and wallow in her self pity and loss. She still couldn't believe that this was happening to her. She didn't understand the logic behind it. He had hurt her. He had lied to her about everything.What did it matter?Everything.She sniffed as she scratched the place that itched on her hair. She hadn't gotten around to showering or even leaving the room Kristen had given to her. Kristen had tried to take a day off after everything but she wouldn't let the poor girl do that. So every morning, Kristen left for work leaving her with everything she would need so she wouldn't have to get out of the room except that particu

THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR THE FOREVER DEAL
Tyler was nervous. He had been since he saw her in that beautiful dress at the hospital. He had known it was her opening night at the gallery and even though she wouldn't want him there, Tyler had gone anyway. He was proud of her. He was proud of everything she had done and became with or without him.But he needed her now and more than ever.He wanted her now more than ever and he was going to get her.She had looked seemingly unaffected by his presence at the hospital the night before but he knew it had touched her as he had touched him too. He hoped she would wear that dress she wore for her gallery opening. He also wished that she wouldn't. He wished she would smile at him when she arrived but Tyler was close to losing his mind. It was an hour after the arranged time yet she wasn't here. He had refrained from texting her so as not to appear too pathetic. He wanted her but he also had to play his cards right.When his phone buzzed in his pocket, Tyler took it out to answer the cal
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR HAPPINESS LIES WITH HIM
Kristen folded her arms against her chest as she stared at Sophie. She wasn't complaining about having her in her house but Sophie could be exhausting. Especially in moments when she was this stubborn. And she was done, she couldn't deal with this attitude of hers anymore.“Do you need me to call Willow because I will. Oh, I know. Joyce would get here quicker than Willow would.” She tsked, eyeing the woman in pajamas lying on the floor of the living room to Netflix and chill.“You wouldn't dare,” Sophie barely glanced away from the screen of the TV as she grabbed a handful of popcorn from the bowl in front of her and poured them into her mouth. She munched cheerfully like she didn't have a worry in the world.When in fact, she did. She had a lot running through her mind but she would never say it.It was only a day after the opening of her art gallery. A day after she met Tyler at the hospital. A day after Harper's birth to Baby Ivan. It was the date night Tyler had scheduled for her
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR HAVE DINNER WITH ME
Sophie didn't get a breathing space that night as she wandered about, talking to her guests and the families of her featured artists. She had almost let herself go into worry about Harper but Joyce had handed her a glass of non alcoholic wine that had put her at ease.So, with a glass in hand, Sophie had wandered around in her gallery and attended to guests. The number of people that had turned up were more than she had expected but she was glad that she had enough resources to handle them. She had just finished selling off a beautiful glass piece to a man when Joyce pulled her aside for a break."Heard anything from them yet?” she whispered as Joyce pulled her away from the scene to a corner.“Not yet,” Joyce whispered back with a hiss. She was equally very worried but that wasn't what she wanted to talk about.“Okay, so what's going on?” Sophie asked when she saw the look on her face.“I just saw Jasper and Olivia.” Joyce confessed trying to look past her friend's shoulders toward t
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR THE DREAM OF HER DREAMS
It had been exactly two weeks since the whole episode with her father. With the help of her friends, Sophie had gotten back on tracks with her dream art gallery. She had channeled all her emotions into setting up the perfect gallery she wanted.In two weeks, she had set up the podium and given the place the taste it deserved. Countless times, Joyce and the rest of the girls had dropped by to help her set up. And when she wasn't setting up, Sophie would lay down on the floors of the place and imagine what her future would be filled with.In everything she had pictured, there had been Tyler. It has been more than a while. Since the day she had ordered him out of her hospital room, she hadn't heard back from him. Although she felt extremely bad for treating him that way, she'd been hurting too. She hadn't wanted to see him. Now, she didn't know.She missed him. She missed everything about him but that wasn't the topic for the day. It was her gallery's opening night. Her friends had he
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR THE CRIMINALS
When Sophie got the call from Willow asking her to come to the police station the morning after the day she was released from the hospital, her mind had conjured up different thoughts that she didn't think were appropriate. Willow had sounded calm yet very worried. Like she was very close to killing someone off which had made her extremely worried.Kristen had driven her to the police station because she hadn't been strong enough to drive. Although she had been properly taken care of in the hospital, her wound hadn't completely healed off and her body still sometimes ached her. She still couldn't believe that someone had almost succeeded in killing her.The thought still paralyzed her whenever she thought if it. What if the bullet had gone straight to her heart? What would have become of her? So many if's and possibilities always left her paralyzed.“You are going to be fine,” Kristen had told her repeatedly before she walked into the police station. Everyone around her seemed to know
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR HIS WIN
"Congratulations, Tyler.” Willow shook his hand when they stepped out from the court. His smile was wide, big yet very much incomplete. This had been his dream for the past few years; To put Manuel and Andy away for good.It had been simple yet very difficult.But Willow had made it happen. She had gathered all the obvious evidence she could find and made him set up a meeting with Adelaide on the guise of getting her to confess to what she had done alongside Manuel and Andy. His half-brothers were very smart and intelligent but one thing they all had in common was their pride at their winnings which always led them to gloat and talk about everything they weren't supposed to.All it had taken were a few bottles of drinks to get them put behind bars. Now, he had custody of the little girl he was starting to call his.“No, Willow. You made it happen,” he smiled genuinely at her and she smiled back with ease. Willow was a beast when she was in court and that much was apparent. She had pu
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR EVERYTHING
Joyce pushed past the crowd in front of her when she sighted Harper and Willow waiting ahead. She had almost lost her mind when she had gotten the call from Harper telling her that Sophie had been involved in an accident. Joyce had thought that Sophie had refused to pick her calls or answer any of her texts because she was trying to give them space.She knew Sophie and she wouldn't put that past her.But the call from Harper had almost destabilized her. Already, she and Nick were already planning on returning back to LA after being in New York for close to a month now but Harper's call had sped up the whole process.“Slow down, baby.” She heard Nick say behind her. She knew that if it wasn't for the bags he was juggling, he would have rushed toward her. Joyce finally got to where her friends were standing and without any warning of some sort, she plunged them into a hug. Well, that was if Harper's large baby bump allowed her to hug her properly.“Joyce,” Harper pouted as she struggle
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR A PART OF HIM
Tyler hummed as he flipped the pancake on the pan. It was late into the afternoon yet he hadn't had anything to eat all day having been busy. Taking Adelaide and his half brothers down had been a lot harder than he thought and everything was messin with him more than he thought it would.He barely had any time for himself to breathe and do all the things he needed to do. As if that wasn't enough, Tyler had had to deal with Giovanni when he went to the office the other day for an official meeting. The beast of a man had barged until his office without knocking to talk to him, being all rude to everyone around.Tyler hadn't been surprised when he saw him. He knew that it was only a matter of time before Giovanni De Luca figured out who he was. He had played enough and to him, he thought that he had taken more than enough time to figure him out.Too slow.“Well, this is late,” he'd said when he walked in, leaning back into his chair as he gazed up at the man. “Let me guess, somebody tipp
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR MAKE THINGS RIGHT
When Sophie opened her eyes, everything seemed fuzzy and out of focus. She blinked a few times, trying to clear her vision, but everything remained hazy and indistinct. Slowly, she became aware of a dull ache in her head, and she realized that she must have hit her head during the accident. She tried to sit up, but a wave of dizziness washed over her and she slumped back down onto the bed. Everything was a blur, both literally and figuratively. As she struggled to regain her senses, the memories of the accident began to come back to her in flashes. She remembered the screech of the tires, the sickening crunch of metal, and the blinding pain that had followed. It was all a blur, but slowly the details were starting to come into focus. She tried to sit up again, this time with more success. She took a deep breath and looked around, trying to get her bearings. Where was she?It wasn't until she finally registered the antiseptic smell that came with hospitals and the white walls that
