“So this is what you're doing? You're going to betray me like this?” Annabelle asked with her face flaming in anger. She looked like she was ready to burst any minute.But Ivy remained unfazed, retaining her calm composure which only seemed to infuriate Annabelle the more.“Calm down…” Ivy began but was rudely cut short.“Don't tell me to calm down. Listen to me very carefully, if I go down, I'm taking you with me. Don't think even for once that I'll spare you. Once I get caught, I'll show the police our messages and tell them that you were involved in the whole…”“Silence!” Ivy yelled in a commanding tone. Annabelle looked extremely pissed. Ivy looked her over with gritted teeth as she continued talking. “I'm not telling them exactly where you are.”Annabelle's frown dissolved and was quickly replaced with confusion. She opened her mouth to speak but Ivy held up her hand, indicating that she should be quiet.“I have a plan. But first, you're gonna shut the hell up and listen to me, t

He longed to kiss her, to feel her body close to his. Desire pulsed through him, urging him to act, he wanted her, right here, right now but he held back. She was still recovering her memories, and he didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerability. If he gave in to his urges now, he risked losing her forever.What if she regained her memories and decided she didn't want to be with him anymore? How would she feel knowing that he touched her while she was still sick?He felt her moving closer, her eyelids slowly closing, and the closer she got, the hotter he felt. He could feel her breath on his face, and he closed his eyes, savoring the sensation. But as much as he wanted her, he knew he couldn't give in to his desires. She was still recovering her memories, and he didn't want to take advantage of her vulnerability. He rolled down the window in a panic, hoping to distract her from what almost happened. She froze and stared at the rolled-down window with a puzzled expression. He to

“Yes, Leo.” She replied “Are you sure?” he asked, sounding uncertain.“Would I lie to you?” He didn't say anything but seemed to be deep in thought after she said that. “How do you know that it's Leo?”“I'm pretty sure I should know. I've met him once, when I came to your office. And how could I possibly forget that face…”“Where did you see them?” He asked impatiently.“Oh, you don’t know that Leo stays very close to the estate I live in”“He does?” Tristan asked with shock and Ivy affirmed.“That’s how I saw them. I was driving in from a shoot yesterday when I saw them coming outside hand in hand and I was like, isn’t this Angela? Tristan has been looking for you for what, two days?She asked me who I was and when I told her, I could see that she was not pleased but she forced herself to look pleasant. I didn’t say much to Leo except that he needed to let Angela return to you and neither of them were happy about it until I threatened to call you and tell you where they were, that

She stared at the name and figures of money she sent. The name didn't look like any name she remembered. Who the hell was Annie Lee and why did she send such huge amount of money to her. She racked her brain trying to remember who Annie was and why she sent her such amount of money but nothing clicked not to mention, she was developing a headache. She then decided to go through her call log to see if they've communicated over the phone at all but she found no records of their call.She did discover that there were some calls missing from her log by the dates of the calls she had received and she wondered why she would delete them. Just as she was dwelling more on that thought, a strange number caught her attention. She discovered it was a call that had been an incoming call and it was made on the same day she sent the money to Annie. She tapped on the number and frowned as if she was trying to remember something.***************It was her first day back at work since her accident. S

Wham!A hard slap landed on her face sending her to the ground and leaving a palm print on her beautiful face. She held her face in pain, remaining on the floor while her mother stood, glaring at her.“How dare you!” she hissed. “How dare you get pregnant with a bastard child for a loser!” she yelled.Tears were quickly filling her eyes as her cheek stung her. She couldn't even meet her mother's gaze because her vision seemed to be blurred with tears.“Look at me!” her mother ordered and she slowly raised her head to look at her mother. Her mother's green eyes were filled with rage and she looked really scary.“I'm sorry Mother” she mumbled and her mother kicked her.“How far along are you?”“Three weeks” She answered “Do you know what's on the line here, you foolish child?”“I said I was sorry! People make mistakes mum” she half yelled and her mother slapped her again.“How dare you talk to me like that? Are you insane?”Ivy burst into loud sobs now as her cheek stung even harder no

Angela stepped out of the building, eyes red like she had been smoking weed. She couldn’t believe Tristan had fired her. It was like she was in some sort of bad dream.Suddenly, flashbacks of every time Tristan told her he loved her flooded her brain.“I’ll always protect you… I love you so much and I wanna protect you always… I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you…”She wanted to scream from the frustration of it. Why does her brain have to torture her. Why does she have to remember this, here and now? She wanted to crawl in a hole and die.It took all her willpower not to cry at that moment.“I just got fired.” She whispered to herself as if she was trying to believe it. It’s not like her being fired was a new thing, seeing as it happened very frequently in her life. She was even surprised she managed to last this long working for Tristan.She stood by the roadside with no destination in mind. She just stood there watching as cars passed her by, feeling depr

“I… Tristan fired me.”Her voice shook and Leo began to feel uncomfortable.“Oh, Angela. That’s so sad”“I don’t know what to do.” She began to sob now.“I don’t know why I keep making these mistakes. I was sure I did the exact thing he wanted, only for me to find out I did the exact opposite of what he requested. I guess he’s had enough”“Don’t blame yourself…”“You know what the funny thing is though? I actually still love him. I feel like there’s a huge part of this puzzle missing and it’s so frustrating that I can’t remember anything. If I could at least remember something, I’m sure it would help…”“No, Angela. It won’t. Tristan has made his decision. He’s chosen what he wants so why don’t you also let go. I’m telling you this as a friend and someone who cares, that even if you remember everything now and go back to him, he won’t change his mind because he’s clearly been looking for an excuse to get rid of you, otherwise, what’s a little mistake he can’t overlook?”“Everything is

He pulled Ivy closer to him as the kiss got more steamy. Ivy slipped her hands into his shirt and that seemed to snap him back to his senses.He opened his eyes, remembering why he had never found her sexually attractive to begin with and then, he pushed Ivy away, then he jumped up from the couch with his palm on his forehead.“What am I doing? This isn’t right!”Ivy stood up and placed one hand on his shoulder but he moved away immediately.“Tristan…?” She gave him a hurt look.“I’m sorry Ivy, this is my fault”She stepped closer to him but he moved away again and turned away from her.“What are you talking about? What's wrong with you?”“I shouldn't have kissed you, I'm sorry. I guess I was vulnerable”“It's okay…”“No, it's not and you know it's not”“Tristan, if this is because of Angela, I…”“It's not just because of Angela” He turned to her with a rueful expression.“You know it's not just because of Angela. We can't do this and you know why”Realization dawned on Ivy as she un

The Billionaire’s Assistant Epilogue
THREE MONTHS LATERShe stared at her reflection in the mirror, and a satisfied smile crept up her lips.Today was the most important day of her life. Her wedding day!She closed her eyes and let her mind drift to the day Tristan proposed to her two months ago.***************It was another cold day, as usual. It was a work day, but instead of going to work, Tristan had insisted they go to the same restaurant they went on her first day of working with him, and that they bring Zoe.She didn't understand why Tristan would choose to go to a restaurant instead of work and what was even more strange was that he insisted that he wanted to drive. He usually lets his driver do the driving, so she found it strange.After making sure that Zoe was seated and buckled in with the seatbelt, she sat in the passengers seat in front and Tristan got behind the wheel. As he adjusted the rear-view mirror, he winked at Zoe, who giggled and bounced happily in the back, the entire ride.All efforts to calm

“I'm telling you, Tristan, it's that bad.”She said to Tristan over Facetime.He had called her by eight pm New Zealand Standard Time and she was telling him how things were with Zoe.She couldn't bring herself to sleep on the mattress, so, after tucking Zoe in and making sure she was asleep, she went to the living room and lay on the couch instead. “And get this, turns out she's been living here using my name.”“Are you serious?” He asked, the shock on his face mirroring hers.“I am. Her neighbour called me Angela, and I found these fake documents and ID's inside the kitchen closet. It all had my name. None of it has her name. It's creepy.”“So, her daughter doesn't know her real name either?”“She doesn't. Apparently, she's been living a lie for seven years. As crazy as it is, it did give me an idea.” She replied with a faraway look in her eyes.“What idea?” Tristan asked with raised eyebrows. She smiled at him as she answered, “You know how she told me not to ever let her daught

The twenty-one-hour flight took it’s toll on her. Even though there had been two stops along the way, she was exhausted and sick by the time she got to New Zealand. She had also bought some things for Zoe as a way to earn her trust.Tristan called to check on her three times, and he sounded better. At least that's an improvement.She stopped a taxi and gave the driver the address Annabelle gave her. It was almost an hour drive from the airport and along the way, she kept wondering what she would tell Zoe. Where would she say her mother was? And how would she explain that she was her aunt? Because she was pretty sure Annabelle never mentioned her to Zoe.She was so lost in thought, she didn't realize they were already at her destination. The driver had to honk the car horn to snap her out of her thoughts.“We're here.” He announced after getting her attention.“Oh. Thank you.” She answered as she paid him. He helped her offload her luggage and then, he drove off.Angela stared at the

Tristan, Taylor and Angela arrived at the hospital to find a panic-stricken, worn out Tessa, pacing around. Her arm was bandaged too.“What happened? Where's mum?” Tristan asked, trying to rush into the emergency ward, but was stopped by Tessa.“Tristan, you can't go in there yet. Please, calm down.”“What exactly happened, Tessa?” Angela asked.“Yeah, how did she get shot.” Taylor added.“She went to confront Amy and we were on our way back when our car was ambushed and some men wearing masks surrounded us. They killed the driver and shot mum in the chest through the windscreen. They shot at me too, but it missed narrowly, and my arm got hit instead. They took off immediately and that's when I called the ambulance.”“How is she? Will she make it?” Tristan asked with wide-eyes. Tessa looked dismayed as she averted her gaze. Tristan was about to say something when Tessa's husband Connor came rushing in.“Honey,” he exclaimed as he rushed towards her. He hugged her, then he examined he

The car came to a halt in front of the Perry's grand mansion. Marie stepped out first, not waiting for the driver to open the door for them.Her eyes was red and her complexion was pale. She stormed out of the car and marched furiously inside the house, ignoring her children completely.“Mum, are you okay? What happened?” Tessa asked, trying to block her path. But, one glare from Marie, made her move. She rushed towards Tristan, who was being helped out of the car by Angela and Alan.“What's wrong with mum? She looks ready to murder someone.” She asked Tristan, who exchanged a glance with Angela.“What does that look mean? What's happening?” She asked in alarm.“Is father home?” Tristan asked.“Yeah, but that doesn't answer my question. Why is mum so furious?” She asked again, visibly frustrated that no one was answering her question.“Where is he?” Tristan asked again.“In his study. For God's sake, why isn't anyone answering the damn question? What happened to mum?” she yelled.Just

She sat in front of a tiny glass window in a cubicle, tapping her fingers nervously on the table and lost in thought.It's been three days since she was discharged from the hospital and she had been putting off the idea of seeing her sister in prison till she couldn't anymore.She had to gather up all her courage to come here, concluding that Annabelle could not hurt her again as she was already behind bars.Now, sitting here, all that courage seemed to have faltered and she wondered if it was too late to leave. Just then, she looked up and her whole body tensed as she saw a haggard-looking Annabelle in cuffs, being escorted by a police officer. The officer removed the cuffs from her wrists and she slumped to the chair. Angela inhaled and tried to calm her nerves and her shaking hands as she picked up the phone in front of her. Annabelle did the same and for a few seconds, neither of them said a word to each other. They just stared, with the phone in their ears and different though

She remained silent, just staring blankly, throat dry, heart pounding until Tristan felt the need to speak.“Angela, please say something.”She finally focused her gaze on him, as the blank stare left her face. “Where is she?” she asked.“Detained,” Tristan answered.“Angie, she wants to see you,” Jane said, looking worried. Angela shifted her gaze to Jane as seven of the coldest words she had ever said, fell out of her mouth.“I have nothing to say to her!”“She's still your sister…” Tristan was saying, but she cut him short.“Was my sister! Now, I have no sister. I remember everything she did to me, including hiring those two men to beat me up. I was pregnant! And she knew it. You know what they said to me? They told me that she said they should get rid of it by any means necessary. She's the reason all this is happening. She could have killed you too, Tristan. And you say she's my sister? No, if she were my sister, she would never have done all that to me.”She yelled, angry tears

Her head was hurting so she once again thought she was hallucinating. Even though she just heard his voice, she couldn't bring herself to believe he was looking at her and talking to her. He was in a coma, so how was he doing any of that?“Are you okay?” he asked, startling her.“Y—you. You're awake?”“Surprised?” he asked with a smile.“I am. The doctor said it would probably take at least a month before you woke up.” Her face twisted in horror as she said, “Oh no, don't tell me I was unconscious for a month!” Tristan chuckled as he responded, “No, you weren't unconscious for a month, you were unconscious for a week.”“A week?” Angela asked as her face paled in horror. “Why? What happened?”“According to the doctor, when you fell, you hit your head pretty bad and since you already had a brain injury, it triggered something. But do you feel okay now? Did you forget anything?”She raked her brain, trying to figure out if she forgot anything, but she couldn't think of anything she mig
