The Billionaire Desires Chapter Seventy Five
The entire world freezes when I set my eyes on Harper. Her skin is radiant, even in the dim light of the bar, and her hair is perfectly styled. She wears a tight-fitted gown that accentuates her curves and luscious breasts, causing my dick to twitch in my trousers. I curse inwardly. "Who is she with?" I ask Axel.Axel tilts his head, and then a man appears out of nowhere, strolling behind her and placing his hand on her waist. I notice Harper stiffening, and my instinct is that the guy is harassing her. The glass cup I am holding feels the heat of my anger. How dare he touch what's mine! My leg seems to have a brain of its own, driven by my possessive instinct. I storm forward and push the guy away.“Josh," Harper whispers, yelling my name. I love the way it rolls off her tongue; it's so sexual to me. But first, I need to teach this dude a lesson.The guy stumbles. "What the fuck is your problem?" he yells. "You don't fucking touch a woman who doesn't want you to touch her!" I growl,
The Billionaire Desires Chapter Seventy Six
HarperI've just managed to get some sleep after tossing and turning in bed last night. Yesterday was eventful for me; seeing Adams again brings back many memories. He was my first-ever boyfriend. The flowers he sent remind me how he spoiled me silly with gifts and love. The sudden ringing of my phone jolts me out of sleep as I stretch on the bed. I groan as I stare at the annoying device, my anger surging at whoever is calling to strip me of my not-so-beautiful sleep."I hesitantly reach for the phone, my mind racing with possibilities. Who could be calling me so early in the morning? My face scrunches in annoyance when I take the phone and realize it's an unknown number. That seems to pique my interest in whoever is calling, so I swipe my phone and place it in my ear, hearing a familiar voice. "Hey, Harper, bad timing," this is Adams, he says, but I notice an edge of uncertainty in his voice. "Adams," I breathe out his name. "I'm sorry, did I wake you?" he asks in an apologetic
The Billionaire Desires Chapter Seventy Seven
My weekend is a blur, I don't have much to do, and I dread Monday because that's when I'll have to go back to work. Although I don't want to go back to the shipping company, it's unwise to lose the equivalent of three months' salary. Ava and Amelia hit the club that weekend, but I'm just not in the mood to go. I don't want to risk bumping into Josh again and seeing him with another woman. Flashes of the woman and Josh keep coming to mind, making my heart ache and reminding me that we're officially over. On the other hand, Adams has been sweet, and I feel lucky to have met kind men like him. Josh was like that before everything went wrong, but I cringe as my thoughts drift back to him. I can't seem to have a moment of peace without my mind wandering back to Josh.I try to shake off the thoughts of Josh and focus, I take a deep breath and push his thoughts aside.And here I am on a Monday morning, preparing to go to work. I'm not in the mood for work, and when I check the time, I real

As I approach Josh's office, my heart still racing from our earlier encounter, I can't shake off the feeling of unease. I knock on the door, and Josh's deep voice calls out, "Enter." I take a deep breath, square my shoulders, and step inside. Josh looks up from his desk, his eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that makes my pulse quicken. "Sit down," he says, pointing to the seat opposite him. I'm grateful that he's back to being professional again, unlike the stunt he pulled on me just minutes ago. He brings out a folder and spreads it out. "Harper, explain this to me." He taps his pen on the paper.I shift in my seat, my voice hesitant. "Well, there have been... complications."Josh's eyes narrow, his gaze piercing. "Complications?"I clear my throat, trying to elaborate. "The client has been... difficult. We've had to make adjustments."Josh's expression turns skeptical, his voice dripping with disbelief. "Adjustments?"I felt my defenses rise, my words coming out more forc

JoshSeeing Harper clinging to Adams like he's a lifeline feels like a punch to my gut. I'm yet to get over her, and here she is, moving on casually like we never meant anything in the past. And to think, I was almost proposing to her that night I saw the video. I completely ignore Adams when he says hi; that's my woman he's with, and he even has the guts to come and pick her up for lunch.I feel a surge of anger and possessiveness, my mind racing with thoughts of Harper and Adams together. I try to compose myself, but I can't help the scowl on my face.The first time I see them together at the bar, I go home that night to pleasure myself because of the pain I feel in my cock from the erection. She does a lot to my members that she is not aware of. Gosh, I think Harper is a witch, and if she has moved on, I am not ready to take it easy on her at work or with any other man she tends to go out with if he isn't me.Call me petty, I don't care. “Who are you to Ms. Cole?" I ask Adams. He

HarperThe elevator conversation with Josh leaves a sour mood between Adams and me. The ride to the restaurant is suffocating, neither of us attempting to strike up a conversation as we're both lost in thought. I can't believe Josh is so petty; everything he says keeps replaying in my head, making me wish the ground would swallow me up in shame. What was my offense? Nolan kissed me against my wishes, and I slapped him immediately, warning him never to try that again. I had a one-night stand with Nolan before we were an item, but could it be because Nolan is Jane's boyfriend, or the fact that Josh thinks I've moved on with Adams?These thoughts and many more keep driving me wild, it's just so unfair. Despite how he makes me feel, I still find myself attracted to Josh freaking Stevenson. I can't seem to shake off the way he makes me feel whenever he's near me. I wish I could just flush him out of my system, but it's hard for me. My parents aren't aware of the fact that Josh and I hav

But he doesn't yield; he continues to drag me to the break room. I look around, trying to see if anyone is watching, but I am grateful that no one is. I am scared of being the center of gossip.He slams my back against the wall, and I gasp at the sudden action. Then he presses his body onto mine, holding me captive. I try to fight him off, but he is stronger and doesn't even budge. All the while, his eyes are piercing into my soul.His body pressing against mine brings about many emotions I can't put into words. He isn't even hiding his erection that is poking me in the stomach."What did you say to me? That I'm a coward?" His eyes flash with indignation, and I fear that I will be consumed by the rage burning in his eyes.His grip tightens, and I can feel the intensity of his anger radiating from his body. I try to steady my breath, but my heart is pounding in my chest. I struggle against him again, trying to push him away, but he doesn't budge. Instead, he leans in closer, his breat

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

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.

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.

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.

“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
