The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 16
I woke up to a pounding headache, my head spinning as I tried to adjust my eyes to the light. My vision blurred slightly before clearing, revealing the incredibly handsome man sitting beside me. His piercing black eyes locked onto mine, watching me closely. "Where am I?" My voice came out hoarse. "Who are you?" His eyes narrowed slightly, worry flickering across his features. For a moment, my mind felt foggy, blank spaces where my memories should have been. Then, as I sat up, glancing down at myself—the silky lingerie still clinging to my body, the soft cushions of the couch beneath me—it all came rushing back. Falling from the pole, Richard’s cruel joke. "Monster!" The word shot out of my mouth the moment everything clicked. "How do you even sleep at night knowing you threaten innocent people just to get what you want?" I snapped, sitting upright. He blinked, looking genuinely confused. "Is everything okay?" His voice was laced with amusement, as if I was the one acting cra

Richard's Point of ViewI was bored. Bored to death. The club had a beautiful ambiance, but apart from that, nothing else was amusing—not the women dancing in front of me, nor the cheap wine I struggled to sip. "You enjoying yourself?" Maxwell asked, leaning closer. I shot him an annoyed look. "Do I look like I’m enjoying myself?" I spat, leaning back into the leather chair. The seat let out a sharp squeak under my weight, worsening my irritation. If Maxwell hadn’t stolen my keys and dragged me to this cheap strip club, I would have spent my night doing something a thousand times better. "C'mon, Richie Rich," Maxwell teased, his grin widening as if he enjoyed my discomfort. "You've been celibate for three years. Look around this room. There are plenty of women here—women who would happily help you forget about that—" He stopped himself, swallowing his words. Laura. He’d almost said the name I couldn’t stand hearing, I gave him a warning glance, and he raised his hands in surre

Elizabeth's point of view "Your sister's condition is critical. If we don't operate on her soon, I'm afraid you may lose her," the nurse's words hit me like a sledgehammer. 'Lose her' The phrase echoed in my mind as I stared at Jessica's still form lying on the bed, her frail body plugged into various machines like a puppet. "Is there any way you can help me? Just do the operation before I get the money," I pleaded, even though I knew it was futile. "I'm sorry, we can't. Not without at least a deposit," she responded, her words making my legs feel weak. Jessica was the only family I had left. I couldn't afford to lose her. But where was I supposed to find fifty thousand dollars? I had no money, and the bank had only offered me a fifteen-thousand-dollar loan on the condition that I had a white-collar job. "Ms. James, I can only give you three days to bring the money. If not, I'm afraid we’ll have to discharge her. Our hospital can't be responsible for what happens to her," the n

Elizabeth's point of view: The next day."Are you Ms. Elizabeth James?" the receptionist asked, her voice cutting through my haze. After what happened yesterday at the club, I spent the rest of the night applying for a white collar job, anything that would make me eligible for a loan from the bank, "Ms. Elizabeth James," she repeated, her tone sharp with impatience. "Ah, yes, that's me," I stammered, realizing too late she’d been addressing me all along. My heart raced as I stood, silently berating myself for zoning out at the worst possible moment. "The CEO will see you now," she said, giving me a look that screamed she had better things to do. 'Calm down, Elizabeth. You’ve got this,' I tried to give myself a little pep talk, this was my last interview for the day and I had spent the whole day listening to the routine, "we would get back to you". After this I had no backup plan, no safety net. 'Please God, help me get this job" I prayed silently as I stepped into the offic

Richard's point of view: "I couldn’t believe my eyes. Was I dreaming? Was this a nightmare? It felt like déjà vu—Laura on her knees in front of my father, all over again. ‘What the hell is going on here?’ I roared, my voice echoing through the office as my fists clenched at my sides. ‘Richard!’ my father exclaimed, springing to his feet. The woman remained where she was, kneeling on the floor, her head bowed. ‘What is going on?’ I demanded again, stepping closer, my eyes narrowing on the woman in front of me. ‘Elizabeth came for an interview,’ my father stammered. ‘She accidentally spilled water on my—’ His words faltered. Elizabeth? My gaze softened briefly as I waited for her to look up. Slowly, she rose, her face partially obscured by her jacket. But it didn’t matter—I knew her. The woman from the club. The memory of last night surged forward. I’d gone out of my way to ensure no man touched her, yet here she was, standing in my father’s office. Did she come to sell

Elizabeth's point of view; It all became a blur. The last thing I could register was the CEO’s son yelling through the door before everything else faded to blankness—the misunderstanding, his insults, none of it registered in my head until I was in the cab. As soon as I settled into the cab, his words echoed in my mind. How could he talk to me like that? What did he mean when he said he knew me? I wondered, trying to recall his face. I had no idea who he was, but I had seen him before. “We’re here, ma’am,” the taxi driver said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I paid him and stepped out of the cab. As I got out, my phone buzzed with a notification. I pulled it from my purse and saw an email from Scarlet Tech. My heart raced as I opened it: "Dear Elizabeth James, We are pleased to inform you that, after careful consideration, you have been selected for the position of Project Assistant at Scarlet Tech International. Your official offer letter will be available for collection t

“What?” I exclaimed, trying to ensure I’d heard correctly. Wasn’t this the same man who had insulted me in his father’s office? What was he doing here? Was he following me? “Mr. Richard,” Rose began to stammer, “b-but you just…” She was about to say more when Richard cut her off. “I said I would pay for it, Rose. Are you going to stand here arguing with me, or are you going to start preparing for the treatment?” His tone was commanding, and I noticed Rose jump slightly as he spoke. Rose turned to the nurse, who was already near the machine. “You heard Mr. Richard. Get her the consent form and inform the doctor,” she barked. I stood there, confused, watching them scatter across the room. Taking a deep breath, I felt a small wave of relief wash over me as I turned to the man, a warm smile on my lips. “Thank you,” I whispered to Richard, who wore a smug smile. “Don’t thank me yet. This is not free,” he replied. I sighed. Why was I not surprised? He seemed nothing like his kin

Elizabeth's Point of View: After Richard left, I was given a room in the VIP section of the hospital to wait for my sister. It was the same room she would stay in after her procedure. To say it was luxurious would be an understatement. The place was magnificent—a private suite with an enormous closet and a bathroom that looked like something out of a high-end spa. It was bigger than our entire apartment. As I sat there waiting, a nurse handed me a menu, asking me to choose whatever I wanted to eat. The menu was filled with meals I’d normally love to explore, but I had no appetite. How could I even think of food when Jessica was still in surgery? I glanced at the clock, praying everything would go well. Occasionally, my mind drifted to Richard and his strange deal. What exactly did he mean by "anything" he asked? My stomach twisted at the thought, imagining all the ridiculous things he could demand from me. The sound of the door creaking open jolted me out of my thoughts. My hea

"What!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening in shock. "You’re a stripper, aren’t you? Dance for me," Richard commanded. I shook my head, heat rising to my face. "I am not a stripper! I don’t even know how to dance—I couldn't dance to save my life." Richard didn’t listen. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, expecting me to perform like some showpiece for his entertainment. I stood frozen, my heart pounding, my cheeks burning with anger as I glared at him. The smug amusement on his face as he waited for me to obey only fueled my rage. I hated that smirk—I wanted to wipe it off his face so badly. Why did this feel more degrading than if he had simply asked for sex? "Hurry up, Laura," he said lazily. Laura? Who the hell was Laura? Did he forget my name so soon? "I told you I can’t dance," I said, ignoring the wrong name and trying to hold on to whatever pride I had left. Was this really what he expected me to do for the next two years? Richard rolled his eyes, acting as

I swallowed hard, drawing in a slow, shaky breath as I stepped further into the house. The moment I reached the front door, a smooth, robotic voice greeted me. "Welcome. Step onto the welcome mat, please." I hesitated for a second before obeying. The instant my feet touched the mat, a soft, warm breeze rose from beneath me, brushing against my skin like an invisible scan. "Scan complete. You may enter." With a quiet hiss, the massive door swung open on its own, revealing a sleek, modern interior. Calling it a smart house would be an understatement—it felt alive. The walls pulsed with subtle blue light strips, reacting to my movement. Every step triggered a gentle hum in the air, like the house itself was watching me. "Proceed down the hall," the AI instructed. I followed the illuminated pathway, my footsteps barely making a sound against the polished black flooring. At the end of the hall, an elevator door slid open as if expecting me. I hesitated before stepping in, my he

"Please, Ms. James, I’m sure Gloria didn’t intend to cause you such harm," Sabrina said, her voice soft, pleading. My eyes flicked between the two of them, a tangle of confusion knotting in my stomach. What was I supposed to say? I had no idea Richard had even threatened Gloria in the first place. He had been too busy scolding me to ask about the situation. Does Richard even listen? From the few moments I’d spent with him, I noticed he was always so lost in his own head, so quick to judge and act. "I..." I opened my mouth to speak, but Sabrina interrupted before I could get the words out. "Gloria is also offering to pay for the damages on your shirt," Sabrina said, her gaze fixing on me. She paused, giving me a moment to absorb the information before adding, "I’m not sure if it’s a designer piece, but we’re hoping two thousand dollars will cover the damages." Designer piece, I nearly laughed aloud. If only they knew it was a $10 uniform shirt. I struggled to keep my expressi

I stood frozen in the middle of the restaurant as gasps and murmurs filled the room. My hands began to tremble as I tore my gaze away from James, scanning the space—everyone was staring. A lump formed in my throat, and tears threatened to spill. Reflexively, I dropped my food, wrapping my arms around myself. I cursed my double-D half-cup bra because no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t cover everything. The weight of the judgmental stares pressed down on me, making my skin burn with humiliation. I turned to James, silently pleading for his help. His jacket. He hesitated, and I could see him struggling with what to do. "Please..." I was about to ask when a deep, authoritative voice broke through the murmurs. "Everyone close your eyes. Whoever looks at Ms. James a second longer will be fired and arrested." The room stilled. Every head turned toward the source of the command. By the corner stood Richard, his piercing gaze sweeping across the restaurant. Helpless, I looked a

"Follow me," Gloria said, leading me into an office. The room was spacious and well-conditioned, with four neatly arranged desks. Inside, a man and a woman sat talking, their conversation stopping the moment we entered as both turned their attention to me. "This is Elizabane," Gloria announced with a dramatic groan, rolling her eyes. "Sabrina said to let her stay here until her move." I shot her a glare and corrected her. "Elizabeth." "That's what I said. Elizabane." She repeated, her smirk widening. The woman at the desk chuckled, and I bit my lower lip, forcing down my frustration. Gloria was lucky this was my first day. I wasn’t the quiet girl she used to bully anymore. If this had been any other day, I would have wiped that smirk off her face. "This will be your desk." She pointed to the table near the door. Without waiting for more of her nonsense, I pulled out the chair and sat down. "Welcome, Elizabeth. I'm James," the man beside me said, offering his hand. I wa

"Where are you?!" His deep voice cut through, sharp and demanding. Before I could even form a response, my mind raced, scrambling for words. Why was I so hesitant to tell him where I was? It wasn’t as though I was doing anything illegal. "I thought you cared about your sister," Richard spat, his voice laced with venom. "But clearly, you'd rather sell yourself than take responsibility for your own blood." His words stung, not because they were true, but because of the sheer audacity. I inhaled deeply, forcing back the frustration clawing at my throat. I hated that I had to explain myself to this narrow-minded jerk. "I am at work," I snapped, my voice sharper than intended, trying—failing—to mask my irritation. "And I am not the kind of woman you think I am. I am an honest worker, who works sincerely to make ends meet." Why was I even explaining myself? He let out a low, mocking chuckle. "Honest worker," he echoed with sarcasm, making it sound like the most ridiculous thing he

Elizabeth’s Point of View: "Excuse me, please, I got an offer yesterday, and I’m here for my documentation," I said to the security guard at the first-floor reception. She barely acknowledged me, sluggishly raising her head from the table before giving me a slow, condescending once-over. Then, without a word, she pointed at the elevator. "Seventh floor, HR," she finally said. I nodded quickly and rushed to the elevator, silently cursing her sluggishness. She had just wasted three solid minutes of my time, and by the time I reached the elevator, it was exactly 9 AM. The elevator doors dinged open, revealing a busy office. Desks lined both sides of the space, with a walkway in the middle leading to a large glass-covered office. I approached the first desk I saw and addressed the woman sitting behind it. "Good morning, I’m here for my documentation." The woman, dressed in a sharp gray suit with loud makeup, barely spared me a glance. Instead, she glanced at her wrist, which b

Elizabeth’s Point of View Mr Sandra turned around her eyes scanning the environment, her eyes were getting close to me when, I ducked behind the bush, barely breathing, my eyes locked on her, she stood stubbornly at my door. Any sane person would have walked away by now, but not her. She was persistent. I just had to wait her out. “Elizabeth, what are we doing here?” A voice said and, I nearly jumped out of my skin. Spinning around, I found a man crouching beside me. He looked oddly familiar, but I couldn’t quite place where I had seen him before. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you,” he said with a warm smile, his brown eyes glinting in the morning light. His gaze shifted toward my door, where Mrs. Sandra was still standing like a guard on duty. “You’re hiding from Mrs. S?” he guessed, amusement flickering in his expression. I nodded. “Oh, I can help with that,” he offered easily. “I’m Jake, by the way. Your neighbor. I also work at the hospital where your sister is—I'm
