The Billionaire's Deal Chapter 11
"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

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

"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 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

"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 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

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

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’

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
