THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR THE SLEEK WAY
Sophie's POVSophie exhaled when she threw the door open to the face of Tyler. She swallowed nothing before planting her hands on her waist, refusing to look at him.She wasn't exactly mad at him. A lot that she wasn't expecting just seemed to happen on the same day and she wasn't sure how she was supposed to deal with it. A lot that included Tyler.“Can I help you?” she directed her question at him despite the small strain in her voice. Suddenly finding her nails very appealing, she busied herself with cleaning off specks of death that weren't there.Tyler sighed too and shoved his hands into his pockets. He wasn't sure how to deal with this kind of Sophie. In a very short while, he had gotten used to her loud witty self and he wasn't about to welcome the change.Standing to his full height, he tried to step closer but the glare cast at him discouraged him. He was already exhausted from everything that went on in his day. He wasn't about to add to it.“Can we talk?” Tyler asked in a
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR IRREVOCABLE EMOTIONS
Sophie's POVBy the time the elevator opened, Sophie had managed to pull herself together. But it didn't mean that she wasn't in a shaky and terrible mood. She stepped out, not in the least surprised that Tyler was still standing by her door, waiting for her. She didn't want to talk to him. Just because she helped him with Jenna didn't mean that she wanted to have a conversation with him. Walking ahead, she tried to sidestep him and just go into her apartment but he was by the door and he wasn't exactly willing to step aside. Sophie was avoiding any unnecessary body contact and she gestured that he moved with her hands but he was just as adamant as she was. “Let's talk, please.” He pleaded, his voice rough around the edges.“I have nothing to say it you.” She insisted, clutching the gift bag closer.“Soph, please, ” he pleaded again.Sophie wasn't having it either. Letting out a loud huff, she spurned around on her heels and headed toward the basket. Without thinking twice, she dum
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR BLACK ROSES 2
Sophie's POV“You have to come back. Please, tell me you are coming back soon.” Sophie stuffed potato chips into her mouth from the potato bag in her hand to prevent her from laughing out loud. The look on Kristen's face glaring at her from the screen was just too funny.And the fact that Kristen was calling her from the office on a Sunday evening was even more hilarious. She munched on the chips quickly when she saw Kristen giving her the puppy dog look.“Talk to me, Boss. I need you right now.” She whined, pouting her lips.Sophie shook her head with a grin. For some reason, she seemed to be enjoying the whole thing going on.“I'm not sure I will be coming back,” she shrugged, lazily. As Sophie uttered those words, reality hit her that she truly might not be going back to the office even if care wasn't taken. There was no way in hell that she would agree to be Giovanni's wife and her father would hold her to it forever.She looked away from the screen, the ache in her heart hittin
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR WIND OFF
Tyler's POVTyler was angry.This was the second time she was finding those flowers and each time had been no different. The first time, Sophie had screamed so loudly that he couldn't be concerned. But this second one, her face had paled and she lost her voice before the shock of the incident made her loose consciousness.He had called the guards, interrogated them to the last minute but all they gave him were excuses. They weren't divulging anything useful and the whole Idea was pissing him off. It was making him so upset and mad.“Tyler, you have to calm down. You can't let one mistake drive you into making a bigger one.” Gabby was trying to reason with him to no avail.“I don't want to calm down, Gab. This is the second time. They keep giving excuses. I'm not paying them to have them feed me excuses. This is total bullshit!” He was so angry, one could see it in his fisted palms.Gabby sighed and leaned against the wall to watch his friend. This was not the first time he would see
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR INTERRUPTIONS
Tyler's POVTyler was a bit taken aback by the design of the room when Sophie pulled him in. It was the first time he was coming into her room. Heck, it was the first time he would make it into her apartment. It had always been his.Throwing his glance away from the white walls, he angled his body toward the lady in shorts, seated on the large bed. Sophie sat there staring at him patiently.“What?” he questioned when she wouldn't stop staring at his face.She palmed her face, her body still a bit pale from the event of the past few days. She had gotten so quiet, she hardly ever spoke.“Sophie?” Tyler sighed as he moved toward her. He wasn't sure exactly what he was going to do with her but she was seated there, not looking at him and the whole thing was making him uncomfortable.“Will you talk to me, please?” he pleaded, crouching down low in front of her.Sophie sighed and shook her head. She wanted to say something. She knew she had to say something to him especially as she pulled h
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR VACATION
Joyce was fuming. There was something cooking deeply at the pit of her stomach that wouldn't stop pulsing up her veins. She was really pissed off. The plan had been to see if Sophie was okay, walking into a compromising position between the duo was way out of the plan.Her gaze drifted from Sophie's wide eyes to the face of the man in front of her. Tyler only managed a small smile at her unable to tell what exactly was on Joyce's mind. If Sophie didn't notice, Tyler had turn around in time to see a small frown make its way to the latter's face.“I'm sorry, ” Joyce was anything but apologetic at that moment but she forced herself to mouth the words to her best friend who looked slightly offended by the interruption.Tyler moved away from the bed and rather than Joyce leave, she stood there by the door watching the duo. At the end, Tyler smiled and walked out of the room, brushing past Joyce with a murmur of apology. Joyce stared at his retreating figure with a tight smile.“What was th
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR FLUTTERS
Sophie's mouth was agape as the car sped into the opened gate, her head turned toward the window, watching every sight her eyes could catch with the speed of the car. She had lived in America all her life but not once had she thought about this place. It had never occurred to her that she would want to visit a place like this.She hadn't even realized that there was a place like this in a long time and now, she couldn't shut her mouth.“You like it?” Tyler whispered, drawing her closer with his hands wrapped tightly around her. Since the limo picked them up from the airport, he had kept her close. They needed to keep appearances, especially with her friends around.“I, I…” Sophie trailed off, a nod following her lack of words. Tyler smiled beside her, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. The car had stopped now and all the occupants were still fighting to speak. They were speechless by the beauty of the place.Sophie's head whipped around to meet Tyler's eager icy gaze. Her abrupt moveme
THE BILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR CHARGED
Sophie ran the tip of the blunt red lipstick over her lips for the umpteenth time, pursing her lips here and there for the desired effect. She smacked her lips together to merge the color she had previously run over it together. Grabbing a pair of her earrings from the opened jewelry box she had brought along with her, Sophie slipped the round loops on.She took a step back and bent over to slip her feet into her Prada peep toe heels, a rest from her usual stilettos and six inches. Just as she started to fasten the strap, the door to the bathroom opened, and out came a dressed Tyler.Sophie paused what she was doing, her gaze skirting over his outfit for a second. Her pulse raced more than she intended for it to as her heart slowed for a second. He was dressed in nothing but black jeans, his feet slipped into a pair of Nike Converse. The navy blue shirt he had over the jeans, untucked, looked as beautiful as he had imagined it to be. Maybe even more beautiful.Her lips parted and her

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
