My heart raced as I watched him pause for a moment, his grip tightening around the phone. "Why are you calling her?" His voice was sharp, demanding. "I told you to call me first, didn’t I?" He ran a hand through his hair, his jaw clenching. "Is Elizabeth the one paying you, or am I?" I frowned. Was he still talking to his father? I stayed still, watching as he nodded, muttered something under his breath, then exhaled heavily before turning to me. His movements were slow, almost reluctant, as he stretched the phone toward me. "It's Vivian," he said. Then, the next words left his mouth, and my entire world tilted. "Your sister is awake." It felt like ice-cold water had been poured over me. My breath caught, my chest tightening as the words sank in. My vision blurred, but this time, it wasn’t from fear—it was from the overwhelming rush of relief that flooded my entire body. Tears slipped down my cheeks before I could stop them. "Really?" My voice came out shaky as I grabb

"What!" I rolled my eyes as if I hadn't just been caught. "Why are you glaring at me?" Richard asked,and I shifted my gaze to the window. "I am not," I spat, folding my arms across my chest and Richard smirked. The car was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "I hope you have resigned, as I instructed?" I turned to him, frowning. "What?" "S. Tech. I hope you've turned in your resignation," Richard repeated, watching me closely. I sighed. So he knew I was genuinely working, yet he kept accusing me of… "Not yet," I admitted. Truthfully, I was considering it. Between Gloria’s presence, William’s persistent calls, and the drama Richard could stir up, I wasn’t sure if staying was worth it. "I expect you to do that first thing tomorrow morning," Richard commanded. I rolled my eyes. "What if I don’t?" Testing the waters again. Richard turned to me, his gaze sharp, but he said nothing. Instead, he shot me a glare before looking back at the road. "Do you have any idea

I narrowed my eyes at her. How was that any of her business? Instead of replying, I decided to change the topic. "What do you mean he helps everybody?" I asked, noticing how her eyes lit up immediately. "You know exactly what I mean—the way he helped your sister, the way he helps everyone suffering from lung-related problems," she explained, and my brows furrowed. I didn't need to say another word for her to continue; she clearly enjoyed talking about it. "That was the reason he acquired this hospital when it was on the verge of bankruptcy—to help people," she said, admiration dripping from her voice. It made me laugh. She obviously had no idea what kind of person Richard was. "Richard didn't help my sister," I spat. I didn’t want him getting credit for something I had to work for. "He gave me a loan, which I am working tirelessly to pay back." A part of me also didn’t want her to see him as some hero. "Oh! That explains it," she sighed. "Explains what?" I asked. "Why

I decided to call. The worst that could happen was her telling me to write a formal resignation letter—or so I thought. "Hello?" Beatrice's voice was sharp, cutting through the line. I swallowed hard. "Good morning, ma'am. My name is Elizabeth, the new hire from yesterday," I stammered. Even without seeing her, I could imagine the stern expression settling on her face as she responded, "I know who this is. What do you want?" I exhaled slowly, struggling to phrase my words properly. "I... I'm calling to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances, I may have to resign." Silence. A long, uncomfortable pause stretched between us before Beatrice finally spoke. "What are these unforeseen circumstances, if I may ask?" I hadn’t expected her to question me. My mind scrambled for a response. "Personal reasons, ma’am," I murmured. "I hope this has nothing to do with yesterday's accident. Gloria told me she apologized and has compensated for it," Beatrice said, her tone shift

"I'll stay," I sighed, feeling utterly defeated. A small smile crept onto William's face as he nodded. "That would be a good idea," he said, as if it had been my choice all along. I suppose, in a way, it was. I couldn’t afford to work for free, and I definitely couldn’t pass up an offer of six thousand dollars a week. I forced a smile, nodding. "Thank you so much for the offer, sir," I said, hoping he could sense my gratitude. "That's fine, dear," William replied warmly. I took that as my cue to leave. "I should get to work," I muttered, pushing myself up, rising from my chair. But before I could take a step, William shook his head. "No! Please, why the hurry? Sit, let's have a little chat." I hesitated, my brows furrowing. "About what, sir?" I asked, tilting my head slightly, feeling a growing discomfort. "You," he said simply. His gaze lingered on me, scrutinizing. "You know… you look awfully familiar. Like someone I used to know." I stiffened, offering an awkward sm

"I’m sorry, sir, but I’m sticking to my resignation," I sighed, exasperated. Frustrated.William’s face fell, disappointment flickering in his eyes as he nodded. He parted his lips, about to say something, when the sharp sound of glass shattering cut through the air. Our heads snapped toward Richard. The framed picture William had placed on the table now lay in shards on the floor. Richard stood over it, his chest rising and falling, his glare locked onto the broken image. He looked like a man barely holding himself together. "You’re a shameless man, you know that?" Richard’s voice came slow, calm—dangerous. His eyes never left the ruined picture. "After everything that happened, you still keep her picture here like a trophy? Like something you’re proud of?" I blinked, confused, my gaze darting to William. His head hung low, his whole posture crumbling in on itself, shame written across his face. "You know she was important to both of us," William murmured, his voice hoarse.

"What are you talking about?" My voice shot up, higher than I intended. My head spun slightly as I clung to the hope that Sabrina was making up stories. She blinked, confused. "Why are you pretending it’s a secret? The whole office already knows," she said, her tone casual, like she wasn’t dropping a bombshell right in front of me. I stared at her, frustration clawing at my insides. 'Knows what?' "Know what?" The words left my lips in a hush, my throat tight, my heart twisting in my chest. But I didn’t wait for her to answer before asking the real question. "Did the CEO really tell you that he and I are dating?" Sabrina hesitated, her gaze locking onto mine. She studied my face as if she was suddenly unsure, and so she remained silent. I stared back, feeling something inside me crack. Was William insane? Did this family suffer from some kind of generational delusion? Before I could spiral further, my phone buzzed in my hand. I glanced down. Richard. Without another word

I stared at Richard, waiting for a response, but instead of the drunken confession I had expected, he straightened up, his expression smoothing as if he had never been intoxicated in the first place. His eyes cleared, and just like that, he sobered up. "Are you really done?" His voice was still hoarse, but steadier now. "Yes!" I sighed, frustrated that my question had somehow snapped him back to clarity. Richard ran a hand through his hair. "You know I’ll have to inspect everything first, make sure you did it properly." Without waiting for my response, he turned and walked straight to the kitchen. The same man who had been staggering just minutes ago now moved with perfect balance. I narrowed my eyes, following him as he half-heartedly inspected my work. He didn’t even notice that I had simply put everything back together. "Well, everything looks good," he finally said, exhaling deeply like the whole situation exhausted him. Then, without missing a beat, he added, "Let’s go.

Elizabeth's Point of View: A week had passed, yet I hadn’t heard a word about the accusations against me—not even from the usual gossipmongers in the office. The silence was unsettling, but I liked it. I had considered using Mr. William’s absence as an opportunity to leave the office for good, but it turned out to be impossible. The place was in complete chaos. Mr. William had been an underestimated glue holding everything together. With him gone, the director of accounting was made acting CEO, and the man was a menace. In no time, he managed to frustrate everyone. Many employees were already considering resignation. He canceled lunch breaks, made the company restaurant start charging us for meals, and, to make things worse, refused to acknowledge my leave request, claiming I had to reapply under the new administration. What a jerk. "You know we can sue him, right?" James whispered, his eyes darting toward the security cameras as he spoke. "Sue the whole company and get a set

Elizabeth’s Point of view;"What?!" My heart pounded. All this—just because of what I said? Sylvia was truly ruthless. "Don't worry about it," Richard assured me. "I’ll handle it. We just need the CCTV footage from my father’s office and anything else before they tamper with it." I furrowed my brows. Was it really this serious? Was this what Sylvia meant when she said I’d regret it? Nodding, I followed Richard down a hallway I hadn't even known existed until we reached the security room. Inside, multiple screens displayed live footage from every part of the building—including the C.E.O’s office. "Martin, I want to see the footage from thirty minutes before my father’s incident," Richard instructed the security guard stationed at the monitors. The guard nodded, swiftly pulling up the recording. The screen flickered, showing the moment Sabrina and I entered William’s office. "No audio?" Richard asked. Martin shook his head. "Video only, sir." Richard nodded, his eyes glu

Elizabeth's point of view; "What!" We exclaimed getting to our feet and rushing to the hallway where the commotion was going on. There people gathered, whispering among themselves. I was still trying to process what was happening when I heard my name. "Elizabeth," Sabrina’s voice was hushed as she walked up to me. I swallowed hard. "Ma'am?" "You were the last person to see Mr. William in his office," she said, her voice low but firm. "What happened?" My heart pounded in my chest. "I—I don’t know," I stammered, shaking my head. "I just heard that he collapsed. Is he okay?" And Sabrina sighed running a hand through her hair, "no one knows yet" she said looking through the window where and ambulance and police van stood. Her words were followed by a eerie silence which was interrupted by the sharp ding of the elevatorAll eyes turned as the doors slid open. Beatrice stepped out, her gaze locking onto me."You!" she yelled. "You were the last person to see Mr. William al
The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 64
Elizabeth’s Point of View A week had passed. Everything was quiet—strangely so. Richard had kept his word, and I was free. But I missed him. I shouldn’t, but I did. My life was finally falling back into place. Jessica was returning soon, preparing for her finals, and I had money—more than I’d ever had before. Aside from the twelve thousand Richard had paid me weekly for the past month, he had deposited a hundred thousand dollars into my account after the contract ended. I didn’t even notice until I was halfway back to Kingston. Ideally, I would have called him to ask about it. But I didn’t. I couldn’t. I refused to give myself any excuse to reopen that door. Aside from the dull ache in my chest and the way my mind annoyingly refused to stop thinking about him, I was fine. Completely fine. Now, I was counting down my remaining days at S. Tech, ready to finally start my own business. Elizabeth’s Point of View "Elizabeth," Sabrina’s voice pulled me from my thoughts. I blink
The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 63
Elizabeth’s Point of View "Good morning." Richard’s voice cut through, as I forced my eyes open. My whole body ached, my head pounded, and the moment I was fully awake, last night came crashing down on me. My fingers clenched the blanket, and I quickly pulled it over myself, as if that would somehow shield me from reality. "Did you sleep well?" Richard asked, sounding unusually… chirpy? Did I sleep well? I asked myself the same question. How could I, after what he had said? After he had whispered her name. My chest tightened, my heart sinking lower into the pit of my stomach. "I made you breakfast." Richard smiled as he placed a tray on the bed table, looking way too pleased with himself. I stared at the meal, my stomach twisting. Breakfast in bed—he had told me about having breakfast in bed with her. He really just wanted me to be her. I clenched the blanket tighter, my eyes shifting from the tray to him. "I’m not hungry," I muttered, struggling to keep my voice steady.
The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 62
Richard’s point of view; I felt like a complete jerk. Everything I had been doing—every touch, every word—was to get Elizabeth in my bed. But I didn’t want her to give me a performance like she did with other men; I wanted her to fully give in to want it, to want me. And then I found out she was a virgin. A fucking virgin. I felt like a monster. How had I been playing with someone who was truly innocent? What did that make me? No better than Laura. I stopped immediately. I couldn’t even explain to her that it had all been a game, that it was all a play. she looked upset—hurt, even. If I didn’t know her to be so damn stubborn, I would’ve thought she was in love with me. No more games, Richard. That’s what I told myself on the ride back. But what if it wasn’t a game anymore? What if this was something real? She was amazing. Innocent. Everything I had once wanted Laura to be. I stood at her door, apologizing, realizing too late that I had embarrassed her. She probably didn’

Elizabeth’s Point of View "I'm sorry," Richard said, his gaze dropping briefly to the ground before meeting mine again. "For what?" I asked, my voice steady. "You didn’t do anything wrong" I dismissed.Richard exhaled deeply. "I had no idea you were really a virgin. I would never have wanted your first time to be in an old cottage, on the bare floor," he said, his tone heavy with regret. I let out a low sigh. Was that really it? "You could’ve at least said so," I muttered, rolling my eyes. "I know. I was just… shocked," Richard admitted. "Everything I thought about you was wrong." I rolled my eyes again. "Right. And now you’re sorry." "I am," he added, and something about the way he said it unsettled me. It felt like he wasn’t just apologizing for this—but for something else entirely. "It’s fine," I said quickly, eager to end this conversation. "I had a great time today. Goodnight." But Richard didn’t move. He stood there, watching me, hesitation written all over hi
The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 60
Elizabeth's point of view:Richard pulled me closer, His lips claiming mine, like a predator who had finally found its prey, demanding, possessive and hungry. I gasped, my hands instinctively wrapping around his neck as I let him in, kissing him back. His tongue claimed my mouth.And another gasp escaped me as his hands moved down my back, tracing my body like Braille before pulling me closer. I slammed against his chest, holding him tighter, my body trembling with anticipation. Without breaking contact, he gently lowered me to the wooden floor. The moment my back touched the ground, another surge of desire coursed through me. “Richard!” I moaned, eyes fluttering shut as his hands slid toward my thighs, gently tugging at the hem of my dress. I arched my waist, making it easier for him, and before I knew it, my coat and dress were gone, leaving me in nothing but my underwear. He paused, his gaze raking over me with an intensity that made my breath hitch. “You’re perfect,” he whisp
The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 59
Elizabeth's point of view: I opened my eyes to find that Richard was already off his horse, his hands stretched out to help me down as if the moment we’d almost had never happened. This was the second time he had passed on the chance to be closer, and it was getting to me. Heat rushed to my cheeks. I adjusted my hair, pretending it wasn’t awkward as I let him guide me to the ground. "Next time, try not to nearly kill yourself in the process." I rolled my eyes. "I had it under control." Richard chuckled. "You sure did," he teased, his gaze lingering on me before shifting toward the orchard. My eyes followed his, taking in the beauty before me—endless rows of apple trees, their branches heavy with ripe, red fruit. A wooden ladder stood beside one of the larger trees, inviting. "As the winner, you get the honor of picking the apples for the day," Richard announced, guiding me toward the tree. I reached up, carefully plucking the reddest apples I could find and placing them
