THE BILLIONAIRE'S TWISTED GAMES CHAPTER 10 - DINNER SAGA
The air was growing thicker by the second. The weight of Eve's words had crushed Leah, disabling her from speaking and Victoria looked like she was barely holding it together. Richard, Alex's father , cleared his throat loudly, the sound slicing through the silence. “I suppose we just say anything at this table now.” His voice was cold and commanding. The ambience in the room changed instantly. Eve didn't flinch but from her facial expression, it was obvious that her husband's words had put her in check but that didn't stop her from shooting one last jab at Leah. “ I just thought it'd be a kind thing to give Leah a little forewarning.” “Your manner of approach was not so kind.” Richard snapped. “Now that I'm done with hearing you ladies engage in a verbal cat fight, let's get down to business.” The tone in which he said that heightened the tension in the room. Leah glanced around the table, noting the expression on everyone present - They knew what was coming but she didn't a

The scent of antiseptic and alcohol breezed past Leah's nostrils dragging her out from the depths of unconsciousness. She could hear voices and footsteps of a few people indicating that she wasn't alone.Slowly she forced her eyes open, the bright white light hit her iris, blurring her vision until it finally settled on a woman in a nurse's uniform.“Doctor, she's awake.” She said, her voice filled with relief.Leah tried to speak but all that came out was a broken wheeze.“Don't try to talk yet.” The nurse said, adjusting the oxygen mask properly above Leah's nose. “You gave everyone quite a scare. You're lucky someone acted fast.” A tall man in a white coat , stepped in with a file in his hands and a calm expression on his face.“Good morning Leah, I'm Dr. Trent.” He said, offering a bright and warm smile. “You're probably wondering how you ended up here. Well, that's because you had a severe allergy reaction.” He stepped closer, examining the monitors behind her bed. “But don't wo

Victoria’s lips parted slightly like she was about to say something but then she hesitated, her eyes darting all around the room. “Uh… uh, I must have overheard it somewhere then. Probably from Alex, sometimes he just rambles on and…”“Alex doesn't know either.”Silence.Victoria looked back at her startled. Then her hands trembled as she clutched her purse. “Well, I just guessed then. You see, I have this one cousin with the same condition and that's exactly how she reacts when she eats hazelnuts.”“Ah I see.” Leah said even though she didn't believe a word that came out of Victoria's mouth.Victoria got up abruptly. “Let me leave you to rest now. We'll talk later when you're feeling better.”She didn't wait for a response; she hurriedly retreated to the door and left the room.Leah watched her leave, her pulse rising despite her condition. She didn't want to think about it. The same woman who opened up to her like that couldn't go back and try to kill her. The thought of it was ridi

Victoria's heels were now inches away from Leah's face.She couldn't breathe nor turn or move, all it would take was for Victoria to just bend and turn her head slightly and boom, she was done for.Victoria crouched slowly, her hand reaching out for the edge of the paper. Leah clenched her eyes tightly, preparing herself for the worst to come.But then. A voice cut through the silence.“Victoria?” Alex called out firmly.Victoria paused mid-reach and immediately shot up to her feet. “Yes, Hun, I'll be out in a bit.” She strutted out of the room shutting the door behind her.Leah stayed hidden for a few minutes, ensuring the coast was clear before crawling out from under the bed.Her stomach twisted and she tried to steady her unstable breathing. Her entire body trembled with that Aftershock of the realization and what just happened. There was no time to think, Victoria could be back any minute soon and she couldn't risk being caught. She dashed towards the door and slipped out of the

Chapter 1. THE WRONG ORDER. “Hey, what's different about table 3?” Miranda asked, eyes narrowed as she surveyed the restaurant. Leah nervously replied. “It's the only one without food on it.” “Exactly and your job is to change that, not stand here answering questions like a mindless child.” Miranda retorted harshly. “I’m on it ma'am.” With that she hastened to the table where a man sat, cross-legged with an air of total arrogance. He was tall with broad shoulders that stretched his tailor-made, crisp suit. His facial features were striking, sharp. Leah's stomach fluttered as she took in his attractiveness. She gave her warmest smile. “Good day sir, may I take your order?” Without looking up, he replied coldly, “ Get me some roasted potatoes, medium rare filet mignon and some steamed vegetables at the side.” “On it.” She sauntered away and paused when she heard a quiet whistle. Was he really catcalling her? She wondered, grossed out by his behavior. A few minutes later, she

Leah’s heart sank as she stood frozen.Her eyes widened in disbelief and she wished she was hallucinating and the man in front of her was someone else but no, it was definitely him. Her gaze shifted to the golden nameplate on his desk that read “Mr. Alexander Carter.” confirming her worst nightmare.His eyes lit up with amusement upon seeing her. “Wow, If it isn't my favorite waitress.”Leah swallowed hard, forcing herself to remain composed. “Mr Carter, I wasn't aware that this was your company.”He folded his arms, looking all smug. “Hmm, seems like someone didn't do their research.”She would've clapped back immediately on a regular day, but today she was standing in front of a man who could either make or break her so she just clenched her fist and offered a half-hearted smile. “ I did my research on the company, not the man behind it.”“Okay Leah.” He drawled, leaning back in his chair. “So asides being dramatic, tell me about your other traits.”Anger crept up Leah's neck but

She slammed the file on his desk angrily, “What the hell is this?”“I don't know, what does it seem like?”She shot to her feet.“Oh, I'll tell you what it seems like. It seems like you're out of your mind, Mr.Carter, to think that I will agree to whatever nonsense you have written there”.“Oh, you will.”Her breath hitched, this had to be a joke, a wicked one and she wasn't having any of it.“You know what? I'm not doing this with you, to hell with your job, contract, whatever, I'm out of here.”She headed for the door and was about to reach for the door knob before he interrupted.“I wouldn't do that if I were you.”Leah paused and turned to face him. The smug look on his face made her cheeks red from frustration.“Why?”“Miss Leah,I suggest you also revisit clause 18 from your contract before storming off.”She twitched her eyes as dread consumed her. What other conniving plan did he cook up to trap her?With trembling hands, she opened the file to clause 18.The words written on

Leah was appalled by Victoria's sudden change of character. Her demeanor switched and felt somewhat sinister. What happened to the angel that was sweet talking to her moments ago? Leah took a step back from Victoria, her muscles tensing up with unease.“Woah did I do something?” “No. This is just a warning. I wouldn't want any misunderstandings between us.” The door swung open and Alex walked in, his hands in his pocket as he scanned the environment. He probably picked up on the tension in the room because the first thing he asked was. “Any problem?” Victoria flashed a gleeful smile. “No, not at all.” She gently placed her hands on Leah's shoulders. “I was just ironing out a few details to Leah here.” Leah's eyes widened, Details? More like a veiled threat. She was starting to think that Victoria might actually be a bigger problem than Alex. At least he didn't pretend to be anything other than a jerk but Victoria? She was a hypocritical, two-faced bitch. “Good.” Alex walked ov

Leah was restless the whole night. Trying to figure out Alex's secret was driving her crazy. It was obvious he wasn't pure, but how devious was he, really?She woke up to a knock on the door. One of the maids entered with a tray and a tea cup. “From madam Victoria.” She said, giving a polite nod as she handed over the tray to Leah.Leah stared at the gooey green sediment that looked like a swamp and smelt worse, she immediately felt nauseous and dumped the whole thing in the sink before heading downstairs.Victoria was humming in the kitchen, oddly cheerful. “Ah, Good morning Leah, you're up early.”Leah smiled warmly. She still wasn't used to Victoria's niceness. People didn't change overnight - not without a reason But maybe babies were the exception. They called them miracles, after all. “Good morning, I went to bed quite early, that's why I woke up early."“Good, Did you get the herbal tea I sent to you?”Leah avoided Victoria's gaze as she lied. “Yes, I drank it all.”“Good, it's

Leah stood paralyzed. Her world spun around her like a carousel. Her lips parted as if she was to speak but she was unable to. There was no way this was happening, she can't be pregnant like this not with his child.Alex stared at the ground as if they had the answers he was searching for. “ I don't understand, perhaps there's a mix-up in the result and..”Leah cut him off, “He's right.” “Huh.”“There's no mix-up.”Alex’s face depicted both shock and irritation. “So what are you telling me?”“I'm telling you, this is our child, Alex.” He scoffed. “You better be joking.”“I'm not. Hear me out, call Dr. John and ask how long the pregn…”“Cut it out!” Alex yelled startling Leah. “Not another word from you whore!”Leah felt like a knife had been plunged through her chest. “Wha… what did you just call me?”“How do you expect me to believe a word out of your mouth? Hell! The only thing I know about you is your name and age, that's if you didn't lie about that too.”“You really think I wou
THE BILLIONAIRE'S TWISTED GAMES CHAPTER 7 - WEEK 1
The morning sun filtered through the silk curtains of Leah's new room catching her hazel eyes which were heavy with exhaustion. Despite the luxurious mattress underneath her she didn't have a good night's rest - How could she? Thoughts about her current situation filled her mind. A week ago, she was just a normal girl juggling bills and resnponsiblities now she's tangled up in a web of contract, drama, and a possible unwanted pregnancy.A soft knock on the door startled her, “Come in.” She called, sitting upright A maid walked in balancing a tray of assorted breakfast dishes and a tall glass of juice by the side. “Breakfast ma'am.” She accepted the tray with a polite nod. “Thank you.”She stared at the array of dishes in front of her,pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, fresh fruit, cinnamon roll - more food than she usually had in a whole week but yet she couldn't find the appetite to eat them. She picked up a fork and slowly munched on three spoon fool of the scrambled eggs

“Alex?” Victoria voice echoed through the door. Alex jerked away from Leah like he's been burned. “Yes Hun,come in.” Leah stomach twisted in panic and she straightened herself, wiping off any emotion from her face as her thoughts raced. Had Victoria heard anything? Victoria barged in with her usual arrogance, holding out a phone. “Alex, it's your father, he wants to speak with you.” His mood shifted immediately, whatever little warmth was left in his eyes completely dissapeared. “Give it here.” He snatched the phone from her hastingly. “Hello……Yes, sir ….. I understand……No but-.... Alright, I'll get back to you.” He dropped the call and let out a sigh of exasperation. “What did he say?” Asked Victoria. “He wants it done as soon as possible.” Victoria gave a curt nod. “Then we need to move fast.” Leah had no clue as to what they were talking about but she knew whatever it was had to be important and needed to be treated with urgency. “Does this somehow involve me?” Alex
THE BILLIONAIRE'S TWISTED GAMES CHAPTER 5- OFFICE ESCAPADES
Leah shrieked and leaped out of the bed. “No, no, no.” The cold air from the A.C breezed through her bare chest making her come to the realization that she was stark naked.She swallowed hard as a cold rush of panic surged through her veins. She tried to remember what happened the night before but the banging in her head jogged her memories. She turned and looked at Alex who was still sound asleep with his bare torso exposed beneath the sheets. Leah hastingly picked up all her belongings from the floor and got dressed in a frenzy. No way was she giving him the luxury of seeing her like this again. She boarded a cab back to her place and got herself ready in less than 15 minutes to avoid being late. She arrived at work looking out of place, her hair was a mess, her dress was all crumpled up and her dignity was barely intact. The same woman from the previous day welcomed her again, this time Leah noticed the name tag on her breast pocket: Lisa “Good morning Miss Leah, Mr Carter
