The Billionaire & His Maid Ginger
Olivia saw the headline and read the first few lines before her mind started spiraling. This is really bad for her and Christian, especially for his company. She wanted to cry at that moment, but she looked towards Eunice and didn’t want to confuse her, so she held up her emotions.She picked up her phone again, and went through the call logs, looking to call Christian and explain herself when Ruth’s call came through. She picked it up immediately.“Liv, have you seen the news and what they’ve been saying about you? I just opened my phone to read some entertainment news when I saw that. What are you going to do now? Has Christian seen it?" She rambled on without giving Olivia the opportunity to answer any of her questions.“I don’t know why this is happening again suddenly. I think this is Marcus' doing, and I’m not about to take it easy on him. I’ll call Christian and see what opinion he has about this. I’m just really hoping his company doesn’t get affected”, Olivia answered, soundi

Chapter 36Christian’s face remained the same but his eyes hardened even more. The secretary seeing the situation at hand, subtly faked a cough to call the attention of the employees. The four of them turned back to find Christian looking as angry as they had ever seen him.“Secretary Pitcher, inform them to go to the financial department and collect their salaries for the month. Since they have something else to do, they don’t need to come back to work tomorrow”, he said coldly before turning to leave.“Please sir. Please excuse our behavior”, one of them said as he ran after Christian. Secretary Pitcher held him back in time and faced the remaining three.“Please proceed as Mr. Mason had instructed, and submit your employee cards to the administrative department when you’re leaving”, he said as he turned back to go to the elevator.“Secretary Pitcher!" they called him as he went.Olivia paced around the living room, her mind racing with the events of the day. The air felt thick, hea

Chapter 37In the middle of her thoughts, she heard heavy footsteps from a distance and she could decipher that it was Christian. Was he going to work early again? She quickly ran to the door and opened it to see Christian passing by her room.“Good morning, Christian," she greeted. Christian looked at her and grunted a response. Olivia sighed at herself and followed her husband downstairs.“Are you going early today? Shouldn’t you have breakfast or something?" she asked as he fixed his neck tie.“Don’t worry about me. I’ll get my secretary to prepare me something light for the morning. Also, I have a press conference this morning with the media. Be sure to tune in”, he said, before turning to leave.“Christian, please wait”, Olivia shouted from behind him.“What is it Olivia?”“I have something to show you”, she said as she pulled out her phone from her pocket. She went through her texts and pulled out the message she’d received the previous afternoon.“This was the message I receive

Chapter 38Olivia sat on the living room couch, her mind still spinning from the events of the morning. Christian’s bold announcement at the press conference left her feeling a mixture of pride and fear. His unwavering stance to defend her was both heartwarming and nerve-wracking. But the way he exposed Marcus openly rattled her—what would Marcus do now? Surely, he wouldn’t just sit back and let it slide.Ruth sat beside her scrolling through social media, reading through the comments pouring in about the press conference. “Look at this,” she said, handing Olivia her phone. “Most of the comments are positive. People are praising Christian for standing up for you. But your husband is very cunning. The reactions here are praising him and sympathizing with you. Shouldn’t you both be sharing the glory? Why are you getting sympathy only? But what can I say? Half bread is better than none. At least the hate comments have reduced.Olivia glanced at the screen, scanning the supportive comment

Chapter 39Olivia opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar environment. She quickly sat up. Christian noticed that she had woken up, so he rushed to her side. “Where am I?"Christian sighed in relief before answering her. “The doctor said it was low blood sugar. Does this happen often?"Olivia looked around for a while. “It's nothing serious. It had only happened to me twice before this."Christian nodded. “Well, you don’t need to worry anymore. Marcus has been arrested."As soon as she heard the good news, Olivia immediately burst into tears of joy or relief—she wasn’t sure which one it was.Later that afternoon, Olivia returned home with Christian after being discharged from the hospital. After they got home, they met Eunice who was visibly worried that she’d not seen Olivia. “Olivia, where have you been?" Eunice rushed over to ask as soon as she saw Olivia behind Christian at the door.Christian and Olivia looked at each other in subtle understanding and quickly gave an e

Chapter 40Olivia’s heart stopped at Christian’s words. She blinked, trying to process what he had just said. “Marcus…? "He's dead?” The weight of those words crashed over her like a tidal wave, but instead of relief, a heavy, sick feeling settled in her stomach.Christian’s face was hard, his jaw clenched as if trying to maintain his composure. “Yes. It was confirmed just a few minutes ago. An apparent suicide, but I’m not convinced.”Olivia’s legs felt weak, and she stepped back into the room, clutching the door frame for support. Christian followed her inside, his presence filling the space as the tension between them seemed to evaporate in the face of this new revelation.“How?” she managed to ask, her voice barely above a whisper. She couldn’t comprehend it—Marcus had been such a constant threat in her life, lurking in the shadows, controlling her fear. And now, just like that, he was gone?“They found him in his cell,” Christian said, his voice grim. “The security around him was

Chapter 41Olivia sighed at Ruth’s reminder. “That was ages ago. I even met him in Christian’s company, apparently he works there”."Hmm..." Ruth let out a wicked laugh.“Ruth, what are you planning in that head of yours again? Don’t do it”, Olivia warned her friend.“What do you mean? I’m not planning anything. I’m just thinking. You know what? "I'm coming over."It was not even up to an hour before her phone started buzzing again.“Christian should be home soon, right?" Ruth asked, with a current undertone in her voice.“Ruth, you don’t need to come over. I’m fine. Really.”“Too late." I’m already halfway there,” Ruth’s voice chirped through the speaker. Olivia could hear the sound of traffic in the background, confirming her friend’s determination. “We need to talk about this Emmanuel thing—and about Christian.”“Ruth-” Olivia began, but she was cut off.“Nope, don’t ‘Ruth’ me. I’m not letting you wallow in silence. I’ll be there in fifteen minutes. Put the coffee on.”Olivia sighe

The words hung in the air between them, and for a long moment, Christian said nothing. His gaze remained steady, but there was a flicker of something in his eyes—something Olivia couldn’t quite place. “Olivia, I told you from the beginning not to expect more.”“I know!” she said, her voice trembling. “But I can’t help but feel how I feel. You’re not the only one affected by this Christian. I’m trying to hold on, but it’s getting harder every day. And I can’t just turn off my feelings like a light switch.”Christian sighed, running a hand through his hair. “This is exactly why I wanted to keep things simple, Olivia. I can’t give you what you want.”“What I want is to feel like I matter,” she said quietly. “Like I’m more than just a pawn in your business deal. Like I’m more than just Eunice’s nanny.”“You do matter,” Christian said, his voice softer now. “But I can’t give you more than that. My focus has always been on the company, on protecting Eunice. I can’t afford to be distracted b

Chapter 97Christian stood outside the holding cell, the fluorescent lights above casting harsh shadows on the stark walls. Detective Fisher’s voice echoed in his mind, reminding him to tread carefully. But Christian had no intention of being careful.Inside the cell, Mrs. Patricia Oxnard sat stiffly on the metal bench, her hands folded in her lap. Despite her disheveled appearance, she carried herself with a dignity that belied her situation. When she noticed Christian, her face flickered with hope, though her eyes remained wary.“Christian,” she began, standing slowly. “Thank God you’re here. I knew you’d realise this was all a mistake.”Christian forced a small, tight smile, stepping closer to the bars. “Mrs. Oxnard, I want to believe it’s a mistake,” he said, his tone measured, almost warm. “You’ve been a trusted figure in my life for so long. I couldn’t just stand by while you were dragged into this mess.”Her eyes softened, and for a moment, she looked like the woman who had onc

Chapter 96The night air was heavy with a suffocating stillness as Christian sat in his dimly lit office, phone in hand. The room, usually an emblem of power and control, now felt more like a prison. Every shadow seemed to mock his inability to act fast enough. His mind churned with the latest revelation: Mr. Petty, a man he had trusted implicitly through Margaret, was at the centre of a storm he could barely piece together.But there was no time for hesitation. Christian pressed a number on his phone, his resolve hardening.“Detective Fisher,” came the gruff voice on the other end, tinged with surprise.“It’s Christian Mason,” he began without preamble. “I need your help. My niece, Eunice, has been abducted.”The line was silent for a beat before Fisher responded, his tone shifting to one of professionalism. “When did this happen?”“Five days ago,” Christian admitted, his voice strained. “The trail’s gone cold, and I need someone I can trust to take over the investigation. Your team

Chapter 95The city buzzed outside Christian’s office as he paced back and forth, his frustration mounting with every passing moment. The images of the child’s shoe and the signs of activity at the warehouse lingered in his mind, but the security team had turned up nothing more. It was a dead end—a cruel tease that brought them no closer to finding Eunice.He stopped by the window, staring out at the skyline, his reflection staring back at him. His face was worn, lines of exhaustion etched deeply around his eyes. But there was no room for rest. He had promised Olivia he would bring Eunice home, and failure wasn’t an option.The sharp ring of his phone broke his thoughts. He snatched it off the desk. “Josh?”“No updates yet,” Josh said, his voice cautious. “We’ve combed through the warehouse and surrounding areas. Whoever was there cleared out fast.”Christian’s grip on the phone tightened. “And the security footage?”“Nothing useful,” Josh admitted. “They avoided cameras, and any reco

Chapter 94The late morning sun cast long shadows over Ruth’s apartment as Christian approached the door. His steps were heavy, the weight of recent events bearing down on him. The tension from his last argument with Olivia loomed large, and he braced himself for an icy reception.Ruth answered the door with a sharp glance, her eyebrow arching as if to say, "What do you want?" She leaned against the doorframe, her arms crossed.“Christian,” she said, her tone clipped. “Didn’t expect to see you here. Thought you’d be too busy playing lone wolf to come and actually talk to your wife.”Christian inhaled deeply, already regretting his decision to come in person. “I’m here to see Olivia,” he said evenly.“She’s in the living room,” Ruth replied, stepping aside but not before adding, “Try not to ruin her day any further.”Christian clenched his jaw but said nothing, stepping into the cozy apartment. Olivia was seated on the couch, her back straight, hands clasped in her lap. The moment she

Chapter 93The air in Christian’s study was stifling, the faint smell of leather and old wood doing little to calm his frayed nerves. He paced the room, the phone pressed to his ear.“I can guess you heard about Eunice from your mother, but who told you about Olivia?” Christian demanded, his tone not so cool.“That’s the thing. Why do I know so much about your life?” the caller questioned bitterly. “Don’t play games with me,” Christian retorted.The caller sighed. “I think my mom is involved in the kidnapping of Eunice. I can’t say for sure, but she’s someone who will go miles to get what she wants.”Christian could not believe his ears. He blinked, looking at his screen. “I’m not going to listen to you say rubbish.”“I know,” the caller continued. “I know it’s difficult to believe my mother is capable of something like that, but she is. Haven’t you seen the signs? She always tried to pit you and me together for some sort of marriage alliance, but thankfully your mom never agreed to i

Chapter 92The morning sun struggled to penetrate the heavy fog that hung over the mansion, inside and out. Christian’s world remained shrouded in uncertainty. His usually clean and sharp demeanour was nowhere to be found. His beard had grown, forming a stubble around his jaw. He stood in the operations room, his jaw set as he scanned the large map pinned to the wall. Pushpins marked locations of interest, each representing a lead that had fizzled into nothing.Josh entered, carrying a stack of papers and his laptop. His face was grim, but his eyes held a spark of determination. “The lead we traced last night,” he began, setting the laptop down. “It’s thin, but it’s something.”Christian crossed his arms, leaning against the desk. “What have you got?”Josh tapped at the keyboard, pulling up an email. “We found another account connected to Elise’s network. It’s tied to a property on the outskirts of the city—an old storage facility. I’ve sent a team to check it out, but—”“Don’t say it

Chapter 91The house had never felt this still. It wasn’t just quiet—it was suffocating. Christian sat in his study, his hands gripping the edge of his desk as the faint glow of his laptop illuminated the room. It was past midnight, but sleep had become a stranger to him. Each time he closed his eyes, the image of Eunice’s frightened face haunted him.And then there was Olivia.He had replayed their argument in his mind a hundred times, each iteration leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. The anger that had fuelled his words now seemed hollow, replaced by a gnawing ache he couldn’t ignore. He had hurt her—pushed her away when he needed her most.The phone on his desk buzzed, breaking his thoughts. It was a message from Josh: “Team just sent me something. Check your email.”Christian opened the file Josh had forwarded. It was footage from a security camera near the warehouse. A black van had been spotted leaving the area shortly before their team arrived. The license plate was barely vi

Chapter 90The mansion felt emptier than ever, even with everyone inside. Olivia sat in the dimly lit living room, staring at the untouched cup of tea Ruth had placed before her hours ago. Christian hadn’t spoken to her since they returned from the failed rescue attempt at the warehouse. Not a single word, not even a glance in her direction. His silence was louder than any accusation could have been.From across the room, Ruth watched Olivia carefully. Her brows knit with concern. Josh entered, his laptop tucked under his arm. “Any updates?” Ruth asked softly.Josh shook his head, his expression grim. “No leads." The trail went cold after the warehouse. "I've got a few people digging into Elise’s connections, but...” He hesitated, glancing toward Christian, who stood by the window, his back to everyone.Olivia couldn’t take it anymore. She pushed herself up from the couch and crossed the room to meet him. “Christian,” she began, her voice small but steady. “We need to talk.”He didn’t

Chapter 89Olivia and Ruth were pacing around in the in the stifling atmosphere. Olivia sat on the edge of the couch, her hands twisting the scarf that had now become a cruel reminder of Eunice’s abduction. Ruth hovered nearby, her calming presence a balm Olivia desperately clung to. Meanwhile, Christian and Josh were locked in a flurry of activity, coordinating with law enforcement and private investigators. Every phone call, every lead, seemed to come up short.Olivia’s chest felt like it was being crushed under the weight of helplessness. Eunice is out there somewhere. Alone. Frightened. The thought nearly undid her. She forced herself to focus on Christian’s promise. He would move mountains to bring Eunice home. He had to.“We’ve got a lead,” Josh announced, though his tone lacked the confidence she had hoped for. “The car was spotted in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. A team is already on the way.”Olivia bolted to her feet. “I’m coming with you.”Christian’s
