The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 28: Gemma Knows Best
"Well, you look awful," Max said in lieu of a greeting as he opened the door. Kit glared at him before pouting and falling into him.Max chuckled as he put his arms out and caught her. He dragged her limp body inside and closed the door behind them before patting Kit on the head comfortingly."Gemma!" Max called into the apartment. "Kit's here and she's in despair again.""Coming!" Gemma yelled back loudly, followed by the sound of footsteps as she scurried to the front door."You look pathetic," she told Kit as she entered the entryway and spotted them."You and your husband are completely tactless!" Kit grumbled into Max's chest before turning to look at Gemma tiredly.Gemma shrugged with a concerned smile. "And yet you keep coming over. We'll be in my office babe, could you bring us some drinks please?"Gemma grabbed Kit's elbow and towed her through the apartment, to her home office. The walls in Gemma's office were painted a pretty, pastel blue color with white skirting. Th
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 29: You Scratch My Back…
Sloane sniffed disdainfully as she looked at the house in front of her, it wasn't really to her taste and she had no doubt the inside was just as tacky. It was a cookie-cutter house, the same as every other one in the neighborhood. Sloane sighed before ringing the doorbell, then waited a few moments before ringing it again. She was about to ring the doorbell for the third time when a disgruntled Maya opened the door."Can I help you?" Maya asked frostily, unimpressed with the impatient stranger on her doorstep."I think we can help each other actually," Sloane answered with a cold smile. "May I come in?"Maya eyed her distrustfully. "How can you possibly help me?"Sloane tilted her head and narrowed her eyes slightly. "You don't want your daughter dating Luca Brooks. I can make that happen."Maya looked at Sloane blankly for a minute before stepping aside and gesturing for the young woman to enter."Please follow me to my office," Maya said as she led Sloane down the hallway t
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 30: A Set Up
"Thanks, Dimitri," Luca smiled gratefully as he accepted the cup of coffee from the elderly Greek man.The small restaurant wasn't much to look at, booths with faded, brown leather seats lined the walls with a few tables cluttered in the center. The wall was a light, tan color and adorned in framed newspaper clippings and paintings of marble statues and Greek monuments.Dimitri smiled at Luca toothily and pulled a small notepad out of his apron pocket. "What can I get for you today, Luca? The usual?"Luca smiled boyishly and shrugged. "You know me too well."The older man bobbed his head and disappeared to place Luca's order. Luca picked up his coffee and brought the mug to his nose, inhaling deeply with his eyes closed. Taverna was where he came to relax and unwind away from the public eye.Dimitri and his family didn't care about Luca's last name and had never told anyone that he frequented their little restaurant. He'd discovered this place one night in college and had been com
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 31: Mom's Always Right
Kit grunted sleepily as the banging at her door continued insistently. She was shuffling toward the door with her eyes half-closed and in her PJs, wondering who was at her door before 6 am."Someone better be dying," she muttered as she finally reached the door and pulled it open. Surprisingly, her mother was standing there, looking a combination of smug and agitated."Mom?" Kit asked in confusion as Maya brushed past her and headed for the living room."I told you!" she declared before pulling a brown envelope out of her bag and slapping it down on the table. "I told you but you never want to listen to me. Is spiting me worth getting hurt?"'What?" Kit asked, still confused as she caught up to her mother in the living room. Maya silently gestured toward the envelope on the table and disappeared into the kitchen without a word.Kit watched her go in annoyance, wondering what was going on and if the dramatics were strictly necessary. She picked up the fairly thin envelope and turne
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 32: Once A Heartbreaker…
Max tapped on the door lightly and smiled at Luca when he looked up. "Can I come in?"Luca smiled happily and stood to greet Max as he entered the room. The two men hugged briefly before taking seats on opposite sides of the desk."This is a surprise," Luca said. "How did you know where the office was?"Max shrugged and smiled impishly. "I know James pretty well. It looks good, man. You guys look like you're ready to get this thing off the ground."Luca nodded as he looked around the office proudly. There were no boxes lingering in his office anymore - he'd assembled his coffee table and added a rug. He'd also made sure to install floating shelves to display some of their new products. His new computer now took up a good portion of his desk and it was covered in mock ups, photos, contracts and Luca was sure he'd seen his planner underneath it all."Yeah, it's coming up fast. I'm excited though. Did you come just to look around?" Luca offered with a boyish grin.Max thought abo
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 33: Truth Mission
Luca was staring into space when James suddenly appeared in front of him. He had a concerned look on his face as he sat down across from Luca at his desk. It was the start of the day and Luca looked like he hadn't slept in days."You look like sh*t, you know? When was the last time you got some sleep?" he asked softly.Luca shrugged and sighed tiredly. "I don't know. A few days ago? I feel like I haven't slept since Kit dropped off the face of the Earth."James frowned sympathetically. "She still hasn't talked to you, huh?"Luca shook his head and exhaled loudly. "I don't know what else to try. I'm blocked, basically everywhere. Her assistant won't let me past the reception and the doorman at her building has been instructed to not let me up."James let out a long whistle. "That's rough, man. She really doesn't want to talk to you.""She really doesn't," Luca said bleakly. "I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I did wrong - if anything. It's kind of hard to do that
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 34: Back To Business
"Trouble In Paradise?Rumors are swirling that our new favorite couple may be over before we've had the chance to come up with a cute couple name. Sources close to Luca Brooks and Nikita Simon reveal that the two are currently on the rocks. The two haven't been spotted together in nearly a week after a very public, hot and heavy romance. Has the spark fizzled out already?"They're really in limbo right now," a source shares with Page Nine. "Luca still has hope they can work it out."Sources are tight-lipped on what the alleged issue is between the two lovebirds but we're hoping it's nothing serious. Simon seems to have reverted to her more private ways while Brooks has been spotted out looking worse for wear.We reached out to reps for both Brooks and Simon and haven't received a response. We'll keep an eye on the story and hope for the best!"****"Okay," Kit said distractedly as she typed on her laptop. "What else is on the to-do list?"Dana hummed as she scrolled through
The Billionaire's Promise Chapter 35: One More Play
Luca looked away from his computer when he heard the gentle tapping on his open door. He looked up to find Sloane standing there with a meek smile and a box of donuts."Oh God," he groaned loudly. "I'm not in the mood for your antics today, Sloane.""I'm here to apologize actually," Sloane muttered. "You have every right to kick me out and I'll leave if you really want me to."Luca sighed but gestured for Sloane to sit down across from him, against his better judgment. Sloane smiled at him gratefully before placing the box of donuts on the desk between them."This is a peace offering," Sloane said gently as she pushed the box toward Luca. "I know it's not much, but I figured it's a start?"Luca looked down at the donuts before looking back up at Sloane with no expression. Sloane squirmed uncomfortably and averted her gaze. Luca watched her for a few minutes before sighing quietly."Okay," Luca said before turning back to his computer. "Whatever. Apology accepted."Sloane frowned
