The Billionaire and the Unwanted Heiress Chapter 27
Lila's POVThe last thing I needed was to be stuck in my own head, tangled in the web of confusion and anxiety that had been tightening around me since I discovered the truth about my parents. Damain had left early today to fully attend to some functions in his own conglomerate. So, using his company for my distraction wasn't an option. As I kept pondering on what else I could do, that’s when the idea struck me—shoppingShopping felt like the perfect escape from the overwhelming stress I’d been under. It was my first evening free in a while, and I needed a distraction—something to take my mind off the haunting discoveries about my parents and the lingering anxiety over my mum’s upcoming surgery. With everything happening, I’d been avoiding the company's apartment, going straight from work to home every day. But today, I was determined to break that routine.After work, I decided on a spur-of-the-moment shopping trip. I wanted to pick up a few things for the house, for Mum, and for

Lila's POV When Damian walked into the office this morning, I felt a strange mixture of relief and unease. I hadn’t been able to sleep much the previous night; the discovery in my mum's old journal was haunting me.I needed to tell him about it, to share the weight of this terrible secret with someone who might have answers—or at least know what to do next. All the times that Damian and I had spent together, I've seen how he handles situations. I could tell that he is a better problem solver than I am. Maybe he could help me figure this out. He looked calm and composed as usual, flashing me his reassuring smile as he approached me. "Good morning, Lila," he greeted me warmly, but I could tell he sensed something was off. My face must have betrayed my restless night."Damian, we need to talk," I said, my voice a little shaky as I stood up and gestured towards the corner office. I couldn’t have this conversation out in the open. His brows furrowed slightly, and he nodded, following m

Lila's POVDespite the fact that I had additional company in the back seat of my car, the silence we maintained was strange, yet I revelled in it, hoping the soothing silence helps me clear my head.The two guards who would stay at home permanently were in the car with me, together with my two personal guards. The driver and I made it six of us in the new SUV car that drove us home, yet it was as silent as a graveyard. Well, nobody would say a word unless necessary, or unless I engage them to. And I'm not really in such a mood.The soft hum of the car intertwined with my thoughts as my driver drove us home. I've not just had a long day, I've stumbled on something that has stirred up some unrest within me.Finally, the car pulled up in front of the house, and as I tried to alight, I suddenly paused when I heard the voice that came from one of my guards at the back seat. “I'll get that ma'am,” he said. I was lost. I didn't understand what he meant until he quickly alighted from the

Lila's POV The morning air was crisp with the usual buzz of the company coming to life. My mind was preoccupied with everything that had happened lately—the shattered windows, the break-in, and all the tension that seemed to hang like a dark cloud over my head. The more I paid attention to these things, the more I realised that a danger might be lurking somewhere in the shadows, waiting for the right time to manifest. But I just can't seem to wrap my mind around whatever it is. Even as Randall seemed to be my prime suspect, judging from his sudden change of behaviour, I still can't be too sure since there's no solid evidence to corroborate my speculation of him.Speak of the devilI barely had a chance to settle into my thoughts when I saw him—Randall.He was one of the first few people I ran into, standing by the reception desk, talking to the receptionist as she was flipping through some documents. When our eyes met, he greeted me with a wide, innocent smile that caught me compl

Damian’s POV“Lila, are you there?” I called out again when I didn't hear any response from her just like she did last night before I had to rush to her place.Does she have a thing for going quiet suddenly? Finally, I heard her swallow audibly, her voice dropping to a whisper. “I went to my company’s apartment earlier today, just to settle a few things before heading home. Damian... someone broke in.”My eyes narrowed, and I felt a cold wave of surprise wash over me. “What? What happened?” I asked sharply, though my mind was already racing. This was unexpected. I had been the one to assign someone to hack her phone, but this... this was something else entirely.“The window... it was shattered,” she said, her voice trembling. “The same way it was at my main house the other night. It’s like whoever broke into my home did the same thing to my company’s apartment.”I clenched my jaw, tension coiling in my chest. This wasn't part of my plan. Whatever games I was playing with Lila, bre

Damian's POV.The memory of the night replayed in my mind like a broken record even as I lay on Lila's bed last night. After the rain had stopped, as well as the lightning and thunder, and we had both realised what we'd done by chance, we both retired to bed quietly to sleep away the memory. I would have just gone back to my apartment immediately but it appeared that Lila still needed someone around a little longer. The storm, the kiss, the unspoken intensity that hung between us—it all felt so raw, so undeniably real. Yet, as I lay awake in Lila’s bed, staring at the ceiling while she faced the other way, I told myself it was nothing more than lust. A fleeting moment of weakness. My body had betrayed my mind, and I needed to get a grip.The silence stretched between us, broken only by the occasional rustle of sheets as she shifted slightly, and I wondered if she was awake too, lost in her own thoughts. I waited until her breathing slowed, indicating she'd fallen asleep, before I

Damian's POV I didn't go to my main apartment tonight. Since I had spent most of the day in my own company, and I planned to resume early to Monroe Corporation tomorrow, I chose the apartment I own close to Monroe Corporation to retire retire for the night. It's not very far to Lila's new apartment.It's been such a busy day, so as I settled in my apartment, I just had the time to go through my phone. I saw a notification from Monroe Corporation's group. Lila had an accident. Regardless of the fact that I had my manipulative intentions too which I'm still taking very slowly—slow enough for her not to see it coming, my heart skipped a beat when I got that notification.Wait… why does my heart seem to pull different kinds of stunts sometimes when things had to do with her?This is the same person that I didn't mind kidnapping just to keep her away from plans when I first learnt about her. It didn't bother me one bit. I'm sure that if I had met her that day at the front of the diner,

Lila's POV I immediately took out my hand from the cocoon of the blanket and quickly grabbed the pillow, pressing it firmly over my ear. But it only did little to cushion the sound of the loud thunder that came after the lightning. I winced.My next train of thoughts was rueful.Although the rain clouds weren't palpable early enough to herald the arrival of rain, I still blamed myself for not paying enough attention.If I knew that it would rain tonight, despite the long day and exhaustion, I would have just ran home to mum. Whenever there's thunder and lightning like this, having someone beside me helps me ease my astraphobia. I remember how mum will always tease me to go get a man whenever I cling to her in fright, but I still used to find comfort in her embrace whenever there's thunder and lightning. But what would I do now when I'm all alone and it's quite late? My chest tightened with a knot of frustration that I couldn't shake off. Suddenly, my phone rang and I checked t

Lila's POVDamian came in early today. Despite being the CEO of a massive company himself, he somehow found the time to help me with my workload. Sometimes I feel guilty—like I’m burdening him, pulling him away from his own responsibilities. But every time I mention it, he just brushes it off with a smile, telling me it's no trouble at all.I think what amazes me most is how willingly he takes on the chaos of Monroe Corporation. There’s no obligation for him to help, yet he steps in without hesitation. I catch him focused and diligent, tackling the most complicated tasks, even the ones that make my head spin. I can't help but admire him for that.Damian Left early today after helping me out with most of the strenuous tasks, leaving me with much easier ones to get familiar with. He had tried, but today took a turn I wasn’t expecting.Not long after Damain left, It was early afternoon when I got into the car with my driver. We were heading back to the office after a quick lunch meetin

Chapter 1
Lila's POVEn route back to the house after work, I took sluggish steps as I walked across the street. I watched as cars sped by like there's no tomorrow, the wind swirling unpredictably. The few people left on the street ran to seek shelter as the first drops of rain began to fall.It was like I was seeing all of that without really seeing, because I was only staring into space. I was too broken to be affected by the activities going on around me. Even as the rain crescendoed, pouring down in torrents, I didn't stop. I kept moving with a melancholic gait. I would have worried if I currently had a phone on me, but my quirky phone won't come on for days, so I saw no need to take it along with me to work this morning. As though the rain carried the power to wash all my sorrows away, I let myself get drenched by the downpour, each raindrop on my skin a painful reminder of the harsh words my boss hurled at me today. “You're always absent minded at work,” Greg roared, his eyes blazing
