The Billionaire Desires Chapter Fifty Two
“Josh was here; he waited for you, hoping you would come home at a good time. When I saw you dressed, I thought you were going to see him. Where have you been?”I glance at her and say, "Slow down, young lady, one query at a time."“Where were you?” she asks again, calmly.I am not in the mood to converse, so I don't answer. She gets the hint and leaves my room.I collapse on my bed with so many thoughts in my mind. My phone starts ringing; it's Josh.I don't want to pick up the call because of guilt, but he keeps calling. I change my mind so he won't suspect anything. I picked up his call.“Hello, Harp,” his voice is smooth and relaxing.I take a deep breath and reply, “Hello, Josh.”“How was your meeting?”“It went fine.” Guilt washes over me at the thought of Nolan's lips on mine.“Are you there?” Josh asks, bringing me out of my thoughts.“Yeah, yeah, I’m here.”“I said I can sense you would be very tired by now.”“Yes, I am.”“I wish I was there to give you a massage and all the l

"Can't I surprise my girlfriend again?" he says, pouting.He looks cute with that expression. He opens his arms for a hug. I lean into his arms and kiss him passionately, letting out all the emotions I had stored.Releasing me, he looks at me with concern and asks, "Are you okay?"I nod without saying a word."Shall we?" he asks."Where are we going?""It's a surprise."We are leaving in his car when I ask him, "What about my car?""Don't worry, I've sorted that out."Like a perfect gentleman, he opens the car door for me. I thank him as he walks around to get in himself.The ride to our destination is lively. I turn on the radio and search for a station playing a song I like. "I'm the World's Greatest" comes blasting through the car speakers, and we both hum along.I notice we have stopped. He helps me out of the car and leads me to a rooftop. The sight is beautiful, the city lights illuminating a special place prepared for us with lighting, flowers, and lanterns. I am in awe of the b
The Billionaire Desires Chapter Fifty-Four
My heart breaks at the thought of Nolan ruining my perfect life with Josh. Feeling uneasy, I hurriedly take a bath, put on a comfortable outfit, and leave for work.I arrive at work, and Amelia greets me at the entrance, laughing. "MD, good morning, ma'am."I look stunned, hoping no one is around, and hush her.She laughs, and I ask, "How did you know?"With a bit of arrogance, she says, "It's me, Amelia. I know everything going on in this office.""Yeah, that's true, but how you do it, I don't understand."Just then, Josh walks in. Seeing him, I feel a mix of emotions, uneasy in a way I can't explain. "What are you doing here?""We had a meeting to finalize your new position," he replies.He kisses me, but I'm not in the mood. As I try to break free from the kiss, he senses my uneasiness and asks, "Harper, look at me. You didn't respond to my kisses. What's wrong?"He looks at me, trying to read my expression, and says, "Harper, something is happening, and I think it's time you told m

Seeing Chloe in my office building, many thoughts run through my mind. Is she here to tell Josh about my kiss with Nolan? I find my voice and tell her, "He is in a meeting," and walk away.I go about my business in the office, determined not to let anyone put me down. At the close of work, I go home and meet my mum and Ava talking in the living room."Good evening, Mummy.""Good evening, dear. How are you?""Very well, Ma."I go to my room and pack an overnight bag to spend time with Josh and tell him everything, right from my time with Nolan in Coupeville to our kiss at the dinner.Then Ava walks in."Hi, Harper.""What's up, Ava?""Where are you packing?""To Josh's place.""He is romantic, unlike you. No iota of romance in your blood," she says, rolling her eyes."How is Shawn?" I ask her."He should be fine. We had dinner, and he was pleading. I couldn't look into his eyes because I felt he betrayed me.""Cut the guy some slack. At least he confessed. What if he didn't tell you?"
The Billionaire Desires Chapter Fifty Six
"It seems he's seeing someone else. I can't quite place it, but he's been distant lately. I talked to him about it, and he kept telling me that he was fine and nothing was wrong. But my instinct keeps telling me a babe is lurking in the shadows," Jane says between hiccups."What are those things you've noticed?" Josh asks."He hardly calls me. When I call, he doesn't pick up, and when he eventually does, he tells me he's busy and promises to call back but never does. He calls off dates at the last minute without an apology.""We were together one night, and he got a call, and left immediately. He said he had dinner with a client he plans to bring into his new company."Hearing that, I begin pacing. Could it be the same day we had dinner, I think?She continues crying, "I know he went to see a lady.""You are right, Jane. He came to see me, and we had dinner, and he ended up kissing me," I think to myself."I wonder why you are still with Nolan, but calm down. Don't just jump to conclus
The Billionaire Desires Chapter Fifty-Seven
Josh's POV"What is going on here?" I wonder. "It's like they know something I don't, and it's killing me to be in the dark." I ask again, "What's going on here?"Looking toward Harper, I notice her eyes are as big as saucepans, and she seems to be wishing I didn't know what was happening.I'm losing my mind. Suddenly, Harper starts gasping for air, as if she’s being choked.I quickly rush to her, trying to help her calm her nerves. She continues gasping, and then suddenly falls. Before she hits the floor, I grab her, shaking her profusely."Harper, talk to me. Are you alright?" I ask, worried.She doesn't say a word. I look at Jane, who is fuming with anger, and she says, "Josh, I told you this girl isn't what you think she is. Can you imagine what she did?""How will I know if you don't tell me, Jane? What's going on?""Look at this," she says, pointing her phone at my face.Bracing myself for the worst, I look, and what I see makes me sick."What? Harper in a passionate kiss with No
The Billionaire Desires Chapter Fifty Eight
I can't help but respond sarcastically, "You slapped him? That makes me feel really good. Can you see how I feel when you say you slapped him? I feel good.""I'm sorry, Josh, please. I'm sorry. I haven't been myself since the day I found out Nolan is in town. I have been unable to eat and do anything right."Thinking back, I realize I had noticed she hadn't been herself lately. I had thought it was about her being nervous about her new position.I look at her with a mix of emotions, unable to find the right words to describe how I feel. She is still crying profusely. I wish to reach out to her and stop her tears, but I am too angry. The next thing I say is, "Get out of my house.""Josh, please," she begs, still crying. I repeat, "Get out." I just want her out of my sight so I don't do something I'll regret."Josh, I'm sorry," she continues to plead. "Please believe me when I say Nolan is my past. He is a mistake that I know will haunt me for the rest of my life. Please, Josh.""Save yo
The Billionaire Desires Chapter Fifty-Nine
Jane's words cut through the room, filled with frustration and concern. "I should be furious about Harper and Nolan. Josh, I loved him. Can you believe he cheated on me with your girlfriend?"Her tone grows more intense. "And here you are, drowning in sorrow. I'm just trying to grasp why you can't let go of this girl.""It's somewhat of a relief that she confessed, laying bare her deceit and her inability to stay faithful. I never really liked her, and I had no clue she was that unfaithful."Jane presses on. "You had something special with Chloe, and you can rekindle what you had with her."With a knowing look in her eyes, Jane continues. "That kiss she shared with Nolan didn't seem innocent at all. Even if it caught her by surprise, you know Nolan's irresistible charm. She appeared to relish the attention. What more could you expect from her?"I gaze at her in silence as she continues to speak. My sympathy for her grows because the guy she talks about was her boyfriend, the same one s

Josh’s POVI shut the door behind me, and the sound rang in my ears like a blow. I’m left standing in the hallway, my heart feels heavy with Harper’s words. I can barely breathe, the air thick with the realization that I’ve lost her—truly lost her this time. I lean against the wall, running a hand through my hair, trying to collect my thoughts. How did it get to this point? How did I let everything spiral so far out of control? All I wanted was to protect her, to make things right, but all I’ve done is push her further away. My mind races back to every moment, every decision that led us here. The anger, the jealousy, the lies. All of it is crashing down on me now. And Nolan… Damn it, Nolan. The thought of him with Harper, the betrayal—it makes my blood boil. But I can’t even blame him entirely. I’m as much at fault as he is.I’ve been a fool. I let my pride and fear dictate my actions, and now, I’m paying the price. I thought I could control everything, but I was wrong. I couldn’t c

Josh’s POV Greg's face pops into the room, and my blood boils instantly. What the hell does he want now? My anger surges, as I seethe, “Can you fucking leave? I’m having time with my fiancée.”Greg opens his mouth to protest, but one look at the fury in my eyes makes him hesitate. He glances at Harper, then back at me, before finally taking a step back, and retreating into the hallway.I can feel Harper’s eyes on me, questioning, unsure of what to make of the situation. The unease between us deepens, and I can feel that something is about to break, something that might be beyond repair.I turned to Harper, my eyes searching hers, desperate to find some sense of hope.“I feel something strong for you, Harper. Please, let's start all over again, I promise to be the man of your dreams, the man who wakes up every morning just to see your face.”Tears streamed down my cheeks, and I could feel the mucus in my nose threatening to spill over. This level of vulnerability was something I had n

I hurried to the doctor as the door opened, my heart racing with hope. “How is she?” I asked, desperate for good news.Amelia and Axel stood close behind me, their expressions tense as they awaited the doctor’s update.The doctor took a deep breath before speaking. “She is stable for now. We’ve run some tests and carried out x-rays on her brain, considering her condition and the memory loss. It seems like she’s beginning to recall bits and pieces. It’s a positive sign, but we need to be cautious. Memory recovery can be unpredictable, and it’s crucial to provide her with a supportive environment.”I nod, taking in the information. “So, there’s hope she might regain more of her memories?”“Yes,” the doctor confirms. “There’s potential for her to remember more as she recovers. The process can be slow, and we’ll monitor her progress closely.”I held my breath, waiting for more information.“The tests show no severe damage,” the doctor continued. “Her brain activity is normal, and there ar

Josh's POV Seeing Harper with Greg ignites a surge of fury in me. It’s like déjà vu of what happened between Harper and Adams. The sight of her arm linked with Greg’s is unbearable.I almost stormed over to them, ready to yank her away from Greg, but Axel grabbed my arm, pulling me back. I had intentionally cut our Atlanta trip short after overhearing Greg's plans to take Harper to a club. Harper, I trust, but I don’t trust Greg at all. He’s involved in shady dealings with women. There are rumors about him drugging them and then using his father’s wealth to cover it up, making it look like the women were at fault. I can’t let Harper become another victim.As I struggle to control my anger, I watch helplessly as Greg, with Harper in his arms, heads for the ground floor. The panic in Axel’s voice only adds to my frustration. I know Harper’s health is the priority right now, but the sight of her with Greg makes it hard to think clearly.Axel’s firm grip on my arm is the only thing keep

After a warm bath, I collapse into bed, finally feeling the exhaustion. The weekend is a welcome break, and I spend it relaxing and doing nothing in particular.Amelia visits and excitedly talks about her relationship with Axel. I'm happy for her; it seems like she’s finally found love.But as Monday approaches, I dread seeing Josh. His silence over the weekend has only made me more anxious, reminding me of how he acted before our trip to Atlanta. No matter how much I try to think about something else, his face keeps popping into my mind, along with the unsettling dream I had about him.I can’t seem to shake these thoughts, and it’s clear that Josh still has a big impact on my life, even when he’s not around.Monday arrives, and I drag myself out of bed, feeling the weight of the day ahead. I get dressed quickly and head to the kitchen for a brief breakfast, trying to brace myself for what's to come.At work, I bury myself in tasks, especially preparing the report on everything that h

I find a space and settle in, pulling out my headphones and plugging them in. As the music starts, it helps calm my racing heart a bit.I wonder if things will be awkward between Josh and me now. His new behavior is confusing, especially when my whole body is still craving his touch.Relaxing back into my seat, I glance at him frequently, but he never turns to look at me. It feels like this is going to be a hell of a ride.I try to focus on the music, letting the rhythm fill the silence between us, but it’s hard to ignore the tension. My eyes keep drifting back to Josh, hoping for any sign that he might look my way. But he stays engrossed in his tablet, completely detached.I take a deep breath, forcing myself to look away and focus on the window. The clouds outside blur as we ascend, and I try to clear my mind, but it’s no use. This is going to be a long, torturous ride, I think to myself, trying to shake off the ache in my chest.I don't think I've ever been in a situation where I

I open the door and find Mia standing there. I sigh in relief when I see it’s her. “Oh, you made it,” I say, still breathless.“Are you okay?” she asks as I step aside to let her in.“I’m fine, Mai. I just woke up,” I reply.“Girl, you didn’t tell me you just woke up! You look all flustered like someone was giving it to you from behind,” she teases."Oh my God," I groan, collapsing onto the bed, realizing I've got another Amelia in Mai.She gives me a skeptical look. “Harper, don’t tell me you just had a sex dream.”I sit up quickly, eyes wide. “Is it that obvious?” I ask.“Oh my goodness, Harper, don’t tell me my theory is right!” she exclaims.My cheeks burn at Mai’s words, her knowing grin only making it worse. I try to laugh it off, but the sound comes out strangled. How did she guess so easily? I haven’t even processed the dream myself, yet here she is, already connecting the dots.I drop my gaze, fiddling with the edge of my robe. The images from the dream flash behind my eyes v

Harper's POV I nod and say, "Hi Greg. Yes, I know him. He is my..." I trail off, unsure of what to call Josh.I can feel Josh's eyes on me, waiting to hear how I’ll address him. We're not engaged anymore; I need time to process the emotional rollercoaster he’s putting me through. "Yes, he’s my boss," I finally say.I glance at Josh and notice he's visibly angry, his frustration almost palpable.I make my way back to my room, feeling drained after the exhausting five-hour meeting. I drop my bag on the table and quickly change out of my work clothes, wanting nothing to disturb my sleep. It's a relief that I’ve checked out of Josh’s room.In just my panties and bra, I collapse onto the bed. As I settle in, Josh’s presence lingers in my mind, but fatigue overtakes me, and soon I drift off to sleep.I hear a knock on my door and groan loudly. Hastily, I throw on a bathrobe, tie it firmly, and make my way to the door. Unlocking it, I grasp the doorknob and open it. “Josh,” I whisper his n

“Oh, don’t worry, Axel. When we meet in Seattle, I’ll fill you in,” I say, laughing. I know he’s eager to hear what I’m talking about.“Don’t you dare, Josh? Why would you say something like that and then leave me hanging?” he responds in his tone, a mix of playful and frustrated.I laugh loudly, feeling a rare moment of relief. It’s a welcome distraction from everything I’m dealing with regarding Harper.“Okay, okay,” I say between laughs. “I know you can’t wait.”“Spill it, man. What’s the news?” Axel presses.“Trisha’s son isn’t mine,” I say, watching as he falls silent. “Say something, man,” I urge, wondering if he knows something I don’t.“That’s a relief, Josh. I’m happy for you, man,” Axel finally responds.“That’s all you’ve got?” I ask, knowing Axel usually has more to say.He gives a nervous laugh. “What do you want me to say? It’s a relief, isn’t it?”“But there’s something about that child’s appearance,” I continue. “He looks like someone I know but I can’t place it. His e
