The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 47
Elizabeth's point of view: My heart raced as I struggled to sit up, the humiliation nearly sobering me up. "Are you okay?" Richard asked, extending his hand toward me. I didn’t take it. Instead, my eyes darted around the room—Beatrice was laughing, Sylvia had that smug smirk, and the rest of the crowd was torn between pity and barely contained amusement. A lump formed in my throat. I felt so humiliated, so small. Tears burned at the edge of my vision, but I forced them back. Don’t cry. Don’t you dare cry. The last thing I wanted was to let these people see me break. They didn’t deserve it. "Take my hand," Richard urged again. I finally glanced at him, irritation and anger bubbling inside me. He was probably enjoying this—he liked seeing me humiliated, didn’t he? Maybe he wanted to laugh too, just like the rest of them. I had always known he could be cruel, but I never thought he’d do it so publicly. I shoved his hand away and forced myself to my feet. The alcohol still bu

Richard's point of view: Did she just slap me? I blinked, my cheek stinging from the unexpected hit. My fingers brushed over my face, feeling the heat of the slap lingering on my skin. I had always been told that drunk people told no tales—could it be true that she wasn’t really a stripper? If she wasn’t, then what was she doing at the strip club? And why was the manager offering her up for the night? "If you’re not a stripper, then what are you?" I asked, staring at her. Elizabeth lifted her head, her unfocused eyes meeting mine before she curled her fingers in a slow, teasing motion. "Come closer," she slurred. "I’ll tell you." I wasn’t falling for that again. "I can hear you just fine from here," I said flatly. She let out a deep breath, then whispered, "Unlucky." The moment the word left her lips, tears began streaming down her face. "I’m just… very unlucky," she sobbed. Something about the way she said it made my chest tighten. I reached out instinctively,

Elizabeth’s Point of ViewI woke up on Richard’s couch, wrapped in nothing but a blanket. My head pounded as I sat up, trying to piece together the events of last night. Everything was a blur—the limo ride was the last thing I remembered before everything went dark. "Good morning," Richard’s voice rang out, far too cheerful for my liking. He strolled into the living room, a glass of water in hand, a wide grin stretched across his face. "Did you sleep well?" The way he was smiling made me instantly suspicious. "What happened last night?" I muttered, struggling to sit up. My gaze darted around the room—my dress and underwear were scattered across the floor. My fingers tightened around the blanket, my pulse quickening. "Did we…?" I whispered, my stomach twisting. Richard's grin only widened. "You begged me to," he teased. My heart skipped a beat. "And?" I asked hesitantly, peeking under the blanket as panic crept in. "As tempting as it was," Richard drawled, "I like my wo

Elizabeth’s Point of View: My words were followed by an awkward silence. I stared at Richard, watching as his expression shifted three times in the span of a minute—shock, confusion, and then, finally, amusement. He burst into laughter. "You are a what?!" he chuckled, shaking his head. "Oh, come on. You’re joking." His laughter only grew as he stared at me, waiting for me to crack a smile. I didn’t. His brows lifted slightly before he let out another laugh, this one laced with disbelief. "Wait—hold on. Is this some kind of… method?" "Do men find virgins more attractive or something? Is that how you get them to pay extra, claiming to be one?" Richard asked, and I blinked. What was he talking about? "Extra change? What are you talking about?" I wondered, and Richard smirked. "Oh, come on, Elizabeth. Don’t play me for a fool. I saw you at the club. I know exactly the kind of person you are," he said, and my fist tightened around the blanket. "The kind of person I am?

Elizabeth's Point of View:I clenched my fists at my sides, staring at the check. This woman was serious. There was no way this was a test. "You are serious?" I asked, my voice tight. She scoffed. "I know, you’ve never seen this much money in your life, but yes, my son is worth it," she said, pushing the check toward me. I stared at it, my heart slamming against my chest as I stepped closer to the table. My fingers trembled as I picked it up, eyes locked on the numbers. "Three million dollars," I muttered, voice barely above a whisper. "Is that what your son is worth to you?" She blinked, confused, opening her mouth to respond, but before she could get a word out, I tore the check in half. "You people are insane," I blurted, ripping it again, then again, before tossing the shredded pieces straight into the trash. "Your whole family—your son, your husband, and you—you're all out of your damn minds!" Sylvia gasped, pushing to her feet, rage flashing across her face. "How d

Elizabeth’s Point of View The rest of the day passed in a breeze, the lighthearted feeling from standing up to Sylvia lingering—until closing time. As usual, the moment the clock struck five, Richard started calling. I ignored the first call. And the second. By the third, I gave in, sighing as I picked up. "You just stormed out of the house without a goodbye?" Richard’s voice came through the line, and I rolled my eyes. "I thought you were taking the day off," he continued. I didn’t respond. My mind was elsewhere—I had already hatched a plan, one that would finally free me from this God-forsaken contract, and now all I needed was to execute it. "Hello?" Richard’s voice pulled me back. "I’m in the parking lot. I’m here to take you home," he added, as if his presence was some grand gesture. "Home?" I scoffed. That cage he kept me in? He better not be calling that home. Still, I sighed, clocked out for the day, and made my way to the parking lot, where Richard stood i

Elizabeth's point of view: I followed Richard into the house, and if the exterior had been breathtaking, the inside was even more stunning. The glass walls, though mirrored from the outside, allowed me to see everything from inside. From one end of the living room, I had a clear view of the garden, where flowers swayed gently in the evening breeze. From the other, I could see the infinity pool stretching toward the horizon, its still water reflecting the golden hues of the setting sun. The living room itself could easily pass for a grand hall. It was massive, with sleek marble flooring, minimalist yet elegant furniture, and a wall-to-wall television, its sheer size making the space feel like a private cinema. We didn't stay long in the living room as Richard led me past it and up a winding staircase. This house was structured differently. Each floor had only two rooms, positioned at opposite ends, separated by a wide-open space, and on each side of the space was a staircase. It w

Elizabeth's point of view: "Exclusive to you?" I muttered, taking a deep, frustrated breath. My chest felt tight, and I struggled to keep my emotions in check. "So what you're trying to say is you wouldn’t even consider it?" My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I was too angry to care. Richard shook his head, his lips curling into that insufferable smirk. "Absolutely not." He mused, and I snapped. "What did I expect?" I exhaled heavily, shaking my head. "Did I really think you had any decency left in you? Did I actually believe you could be anything other than a bitter old man?" At this point, I was desperate to get him to bend—even if I had to guilt-trip him into it. Richard’s smirk faltered just for a second, but he recovered quickly, letting out a low chuckle. "Old?" He arched a brow, feigning amusement. "Yes. And bitter," I spat, watching as his mask cracked just a little more. His lips parted slightly as if to respond, but before he could, I continued. "Y

The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 67
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’
The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 61
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
