Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 26: The Enemy within
Edward POVI got back to the mansion, feeling provoked from the encounter with Daniel and Nessa. I made up my mind. I said I wasn’t going to go after her when she left, but I couldn’t help it. I cared too much for her.Hell I wanted to own her. But Daniel is getting in my way, now she has feelings for him. Shit.I climbed the staircase restlessly, making my way to Liam’s room. My son was fast asleep. Thank God the media didn’t know about him yet. The last thing I want is extending this looming danger to him. He is too young and innocent for all this. I unbuttoned my shirt in exhaustion. The past few weeks have felt like hell. I have people watching the mansion and company on a 24 hour surveillance, just to take extra measures.But with all this in place my mind was still racing.The tape leak, the rumors about Vanessa, the media storm. It was all too perfect in timing. There was something bigger at play here, and I need to figure out what it is before it’s too late. I settled

Vanessa POVThe weight of everything was beginning to overwhelm me. With Edward, Daniel and the Susan mess, I hardly had time to breathe, let alone examine my feelings. Every step felt like I was walking on broken glass, cautious and agonising. So I did the only thing I could think of: I called Mandi. My older sister. She had always been my rock, the one person who could make sense of my crazy existence. Without hesitation, she booked the first flight from London to New York with her two children, Gwen and James.She already expressed wanting to come and see me after she heard all the drama, but I lied that I was fine. Right now I couldn’t hold it in anymore, I was so close to breaking down.The moment she eventually arrived at the mansion, standing in my doorway with a weary but knowing grin, I felt as if I could breathe again.Mandi wasted no time, her arms flung around me as soon as we got into the mansion and sat down in the living room.“My sweet little baby.” She murmure

Edward POVI have been waiting for this moment. Waiting to look Susan in the eyes and witness her crumble under the weight of her own faults. She believed she could betray me by setting up Vanessa, working with Rodrigo, and walking away unscathed? No. She had already played her hand, and now it was my turn.I had my secretary set up a private meeting in one of my lesser-known apartments in the city. Somewhere neutral, where Susan wouldn't feel compelled to run.My intentions were very calculated, masked under the intention of an attempt to make peace with her and an apology. The way a moth drew to flame, she fell for it. The day was Friday, April 5th of 2024.8pm came and Susan arrived. She dressed in a way that screamed desperation, with a short white dress. Her eyes brightened up when she spotted me, as if she still thought she had a shot.I let her believe that.For now.She pushed some strands of her blonde hair behind her ears, giving me a little smile.“Edward… I was not e

Vanessa POV Across the room, admirers' stray looks lingered. Men who weren't Edward or Daniel looked at me with interest, their gazes approving, lingering a second too long. I smirked and raised my glass to my lips. Bella and I continued to talk, discussing the vibe of the evening and the newest adjustments. Daniel's stare could be felt from across the room on occasion. And then he was there alongside me. His appearance drew attention without effort. I rose my head slightly, my breath stopped in my mouth as I spotted the expression in his eyes—dark, intense, and full of unsaid meaning. "You look breathtaking tonight, Princess," he remarked, his voice tinted with something dangerously appealing. His lips twisted into a smile, his gaze running over my physique, fired a spark of heat through me. I kept my look calm. "You've already said that before, Daniel."“And I’ll say it as many times Darling.” He replied as he moved closer. “I’m trying my best not to steal you away from

Daniel POVPain. It seared through my arm like fire burning my skin, yet I didn't even flinch. I've had worse. The paramedics stitched me up in my penthouse while keeping a low profile. The last thing I needed was the paparazzi flashing cameras and turning this into a dramatic headline. "Billionaire Takes Bullet for Fashion Queen—Love Triangle Intensifies." I sneered at the concept. What mattered was that Vanessa was safe. That was all I cared about. Vanessa was at my side from the minute we arrived, scrutinising my wound as if she could wish it to heal faster. Her hands shook as she grabbed for me."Daniel, you're insane," she said, frustrated and with a gentler tone. "Why did you even do that?" I laughed a bit, leaning back on the couch, allowing the medic to finish dressing the wound on my arm from the bullet."I couldn’t stand there and let you get shot princess. What kind of man would that make me?" She folded her arms, but her gaze betrayed her. She was shak

Vanessa POVApril 9th, 2024For the first time in days, things felt normal again. Due to the attack at the gala, the fashion house launch was pushed to the following week. I spent my previous days preparing for the launch of Queens by VC, diving into fabrics, designs, and business meetings. At night, I lost myself in quiet moments—reading, drinking wine, pretending my heart wasn’t at war with itself. The bodyguards still escorted me to most places, a few security measures had to be taken.Edward offered to send interior designers for my new shop so I stopped over after I dropped Liam off at school. The mannequins were spaced out, and the name ‘Queens by VC’ hung right above the building outside. I was on the verge of tears, this dream had been in my head for years. I was so fulfilled I got the opportunity to make it a reality.Easter was fast approaching and would hold this week, so I thought of a warm cozy Easter dinner at home at the mansion. I could invite Bella and her husband, D

Daniel POVThe moment Wendy walked in and Vanessa left, the atmosphere changed. Wendy's smile faltered, and her golden eyes narrowed. She was dressed too well. Perhaps overdressed even. Her hair rested on her shoulders in waves, brunette in color. and her makeup was flawless.She was also putting on a designer gown. This was all too much for just a visit to my penthouse.What’s the catch? Wendy Hawthorne was certainly a handful.The mask she wore wasn’t enough to conceal the slight trembling of her fingers, or the way her eyes roamed about, like she was searching for something,— power, affirmation, control.“Daniel, sweetheart.” She said softly, trying to sound gentle.“I needed to see you. I still want us, and the life we promised each other.” I sighed in exhaustion. I wasn’t ready for all this.“What are you really doing here Wendy? Tell me the truth.” She flashed me her catchy grin, the one she'd used on red carpets, with directors, and on me. "I just got out of rehab," she

Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 47: The Fall
Edward POVI just left that business exhibition, and Daniel really got on my nerves. He had so much confidence in winning Vanessa over, like was waiting for me to mess up so he can swoop in and play hero. But no.Not on my watch.The minute my phone buzzed, I thought of ignoring it. I was already at the company, energized for a full day. But something in my gut told me to check. The second I saw Vanessa’s name, a prickle of concern spread through me. She rarely called this early. I answered immediately. “Vanessa?” There was a lull, only her irregular breathing on the other end of the queue. My hold on the phone intensified. "What's wrong?" I demanded. "It's Liam," she whispered, her voice straining. "Something happened at his school." I was already on my feet before she had completed her statement. "What do you mean? Is he hurt?”A sharp inhale. Then, in a voice that was trembling, she whispered, “Yes.”The world tilted.“Where are you?” My voice came out deadly calm, but insi
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 46: A Mother’s fear
Vanessa POVMy workplace came alive with the hum of sewing machines, the rustling of fabrics and my harsh commands at my apprentices. I glanced at the time, 12 noon.My fashion house was growing, but my thoughts were far from the designs in front of me. I tapped my pen on my note book, attempting to focus.Daniel sent me more flowers, so the scent of pink roses lingered all around me. However, I had barely given them a second glance. My mind was elsewhere.Liam.My head replayed the conversation with his bodyguards this morning. No suspicious activity, not a sight of anything wierd. But I didn’t feel better. This morning I got an anonymous text that disappeared minutes after I read it.“You should watch your son more carefully. Accidents happen every day.”I swallowed hard, shaking the memory out of my head.No. I refuse to panic.I had increased security, and decided to keep this from Edward, but was that really enough?A sudden commotion outside my office door yanked me out of my t
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 45: When Rivals Collide
Tuesday April 15thDaniel POVThe silence was deafening.Vanessa hadn’t responded to the roses.No text. No call. No message through Mandi.Just silence.I sat in front of my desk, watching my phone with hope that her name would pop up on it. But deep down, I already knew. She wasn’t going to acknowledge it.She’s distracted, I told myself. Probably dealing with Liam. It’s not about you.But the thought felt off. It didn’t feel right to me.I exhaled sharply, leaning back into my chair. The atmosphere around me was so busy. My workers roamed about, my assistants came in and out requesting my signature for contract approvals, but in the midst of all this my mind was absent. My mind was still on her.Wendy had made sure the entire city knew about our so-called engagement, splashing it across every media outlet that would listen. But Vanessa? She hadn’t even batted an eyelash.She didn’t care.The thought burned more than I wanted to admit.“Sir?”I snapped back to the present, blinking
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 44: The Space Between Us
Vanessa POVPink roses stood in a crystal vase on the kitchen counter, delicate and lovely. Mandi received them from the Mansion gate and set them there. But for all the attention I had given them, they could have easily been invisible.My mind was elsewhere.On Liam.My thoughts tangled in worry as I sat on the edge of my bed, swaying my legs in a back and forth motion.Today had felt off. It became even worse when I got that text about my son. Ever since the Easter dinner, a gut feeling had been driving in and out of my thoughts.I picked my phone up, going through the daily security report updates. Liam’s body guards had sent their usual updates from school. The things he did, the people he Interacted with, daily schedule, lunch time, everything seemed normal.And yet…Something felt off.Eagerly, I dialed the head security’s number, taking Deep breaths.“Ms. Coleman?” The deep voice of one of my trusted guards came through.“I want you watch Liam closely and double security at
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 43: Roses and Ruin
The roses should have arrived by now. I sat behind my desk, drumming my fingers against the polished surface, my phone screen still open to the delivery confirmation. A hundred pink roses, Vanessa’s favorite. A simple gesture—an apology without words. I wasn’t naive enough to think a bouquet could erase last night. The way she walked away, how she didn’t even spare me a second glance. I had been too stunned to react. Too blindsided by Wendy’s theatrics. I shook my head in annoyance, I should have know this was coming.The landline in my office rang, drifting me out of my thoughts.“Mr West, Miss Hawthrone is in the lobby and would like to see you.” My secretary announced.Of course she was. Before I could even command for her to be let in, she stormed in like a hurricane, the floors became noisy as her shoes clicked on them.“You sent her pink roses?” She yelled, throwing her purse on my office desk. “How romantic”I didn’t even look up, her energy and mine were different.“Why ar
Taming Mr Billionaire Chapter 42: The Morning After
Vanessa POVThe golden brightness of the rising morning sun outside cast a faint light around the hotel suite As I stirred, the silk sheets wrapped over my legs, causing me to blink out of slumber. The warmth alongside me should have been soothing, but Edward's raspy breathing and rigid physique in his slumber revealed a different story. He was having a dream, no, a nightmare. I sat up, pushing my hand on his moist, exposed chest, and felt his racing beating beneath my palm. Edward’s brow furrowed, and droplets of sweat stuck to his skin as he murmured something i couldn’t understand. Then his entire body shook, his hands gripping into the covers.I leaned closer. I said in a whisper, running my fingertips over his jaw, "Edward." Wake up.” Sharp, rapid breaths rose and fell in his chest as his eyes burst wide, wild and disoriented. He just gazed at me for a time, his body still rigid from whatever torture his fantasies had been. His features softened, and recognition flared in his

Edward POVHer skin was flushed with heat as she lay beneath me, breathless, her thighs still trembling from the force of her release, her skin flushed with heat.Her body quivered from the aftermath of my touch. I smirked, watching her. She was Mine. I felt so intoxicated by the way she moaned, the way she gasped, the way she fell apart in my hands.Oh God, I missed this.I Missed her. Missed every inch of her body, the way she said my name when she was lost in pleasure, the way she responded to my touch..It had been so long, too long. All those Years of pretending I didn’t need her, of forcing myself to move on. They were of no use because no matter how many women I touched, how many lips I kissed, no one ever felt like this. Like home.I traced the outline of her hips as my fingers moved down the curve of her waist, and memorizing her all over again. Vanessa looked softer now, more womanly, but she was still the same Vanessa that once consumed every inch of my life.Still kneeling

Vanessa POVThe elevator ride to the exotic hotel suite was anticipating.Edward’s body heat radiated towards me as he stood close, his scent a mix of something unique, something only he owned. It intoxicated my mind, my senses. His fingers moved on my bare arm, igniting the excitement from earlier.He leaned into me, pressing his lips to my ears,“I’m going to make you beg for me, Nessa.” he whispered. His voice sending delicious shivers through me.I swallowed hard, my breath became uneven. I could still feel the rush from the Lamborghini ride, the reckless abandon, the speed— it all set my pulse high and racing. I was now standing near him, my stomach coiled in excitement like a tightly strung spring. I hardly heard the lift doors open before Edward grabbed my hand and pulled me inside the room.The suite was wonderful. A king- sized bed draped in soft looking silk sheets, amazing large floor to ceiling windows that showed the bright city skyline. Outside on the balcony, I co

Daniel POVThe car trip back to the penthouse was filled with stress. Wendy sat next me, arms folded, her beautiful dress bunched up in her clutch, fuming. Her reflection in the window showed a storm brewing—jaw tightened, lips squeezed tight, eyes flaming with wrath.I remained focused on the road, grasping the wheel, my own displeasure boiling beneath my skin. When Edward instructed us to go, I felt a weight of humiliation land on my shoulders. Not because of Vanessa. Not even due to Edward. But due to Wendy and the whole calamity she had caused. I knew I shouldn't have brought her. It was a bad idea. The moment I parked, she pushed open the door and stormed inside, her shoes tapping fiercely on the ground of my penthouse.Wendy spun around to face me The second the door slammed shut.“Daniel What the hell was that ?!”I sighed, rubbing a hand down my face. “Wendy, drop it. It’s over.”“Drop it? DROP IT?!” She let out a humorless laugh. “I was humiliated tonight! Do you e
