The Billionaire's Redemption Chapter 12
The following day, Aria woke with a strange mix of determination and unease. The events of the yesterday gala still lingered in her mind, and Heathen's intense promise to face Marcus together replayed in her thoughts.She dressed in a sleek navy-blue blouse tucked into high waisted black pants, her demeanor as sharp as her outfit. Heathen had called an emergency meeting with his top advisors, and she knew Vanessa would be there, ready to start the trouble.Arriving at King Enterprises, Aria stepped out of the elevator into the conference room. Vanessa was already there, sitting next to Heathen, her presence in a deliberate and obvious statement. Her black dress hugged her figure perfectly, and her lips curled into a taunting smile as Aria entered.“Oh, Aria,” Vanessa cooed, her tone dripping with mock sweetness. “You’re looking... efficient today.”Aria’s polite smile didn’t waver. “Efficiency gets things done, Vanessa. You should try it sometime.”Vanessa’s eyes narrowed for a frac

Aria had always prided herself on composure. No matter the situation, she maintained control, refusing to let her emotions cloud her judgment. But tonight, as she sat in Heathen’s office, that control felt precariously close to slipping. The tension in the room was palpable, charged with the weight of their earlier exchange and the shadow of Vanessa’s presence lingering in the air. Heathen’s piercing gaze, however, was what truly unraveled her. “You’re staring,” Aria said without looking up from her laptop, her tone clipped. “Am I?” Heathen replied, leaning casually against the edge of his desk. His sleeves were still rolled up, revealing strong forearms, and his tie hung loosely around his neck, giving him an air of effortless authority. “Yes.” She finally glanced up, meeting his eyes. “Don’t you have something better to do?” He smirked, the corner of his mouth quirking up in a way that made her stomach flip. “I’m working. Observing my partner is part of the job.” “Partner

Aria stood on the pavement, looking up at the high-rise building before her. The skyscraper twinkled in the late afternoon sun, a landmark of sophistication and wealth the exact opposite of her old life.Her mother's words echoed in her head: "You'll be fine."Aria took a deep breath, stood tall and entered through the glass doors to the hall. The interior of the building was even more stunning than the front with marble flooring that shined under hidden lighting and sculptures radiating elegance. She could feel the weight of it all: power, money, and ambitions.She could never forget the night her mother died. It etched into her brain with painful precision: the disinfectant smell of the hospital room, the faint beeping of equipment, and the crushing sense of despair that enveloped her as she sat by her mother's deathbed.She had been holding her hand, watching as the brightness in her mother's eyes dimmed, her once-strong, lively mother weakened and in pain."It's okay, beautiful,"

As she entered the expansive luxury structure, Aria gripped her sketchbook even more tightly, feeling more isolated by the interior's obvious luxury. Her meeting with Heathen King from yesterday was still weighing heavily on her second day on the job site. She had stayed up late reworking her designs, fueled by equal parts determination and frustration, determined to prove to him and her that she belonged here."Miss Chen," Anna called out, her heels clicking briskly against the marble floor. The woman had a commanding presence: sharp eyes flicking between the clipboard and Aria. "Mr. King has asked for a review of these proposed revisions before the contractors' meeting. He'll meet us in the west wing."Aria hesitated mid-step. "Mr. King?"But I thought he wasn't personally involved in these kinds of smaller projects.Anna's speech sounded sharp; her lips pushed into a narrow line. "Apparently, he changed his mind."Aria felt the shock of the report. Heathen had hardly recognize

Aria appeared at the location early the next morning, her determination revived. The reminder of the day be fore’s anxiety remained but so did the blaze of something unexpected in Heathen King, the first sign of a man who wasn't as bitter as he seemed.The atmosphere was alive with hustle and bustle, as workmen moved between structures and machinery. Anna appeared there, the notepad in fingers, giving instructions like a commander getting ready for war."Miss Chen," Anna continued without gazing up, "Mr. King has asked that we review the modifications with you carefully before the hiring of workers begins."Aria felt her heart jump a beat. Individually? That word held weight, particularly because it came from a Heathen."Is he arriving now?" Aria said, concealing her anxiety with a calm voice. Absolutely he is sitting in the meeting room. Anna glanced up, her gaze cutting little. "Be ready. Mr. King avoids wasting time on everything short of excellence."Aria grinned, holding her

Later that night, Aria sat in her tiny apartment, littered with scattered blueprints and a laptop. Yet, she just couldn't seem to settle into anything. Her thoughts were back with Heathen King and all he had shared; his vulnerability stayed with her, haunting her like a whispered whisper.The man behind the ruthless billionaire persona was more interesting than she could let herself admit. He wasn't what she had expected.Her phone buzzed, pulling her out of her thoughts. It was a message from Anna:Mr. King has requested your presence at a high-profile client meeting tomorrow. Be at the office by 9 a.m. sharp. Dress professionally.Aria frowned. Why would Heathen bring her into something like this? She had expected to stay at the back, taking care of technicalities. This was unexpected.The next morning, Aria stood outside the glass tower of King Enterprises, her insides tightly coiled. In an attempt to fit in she had dressed for the role, wearing a sleek navy blazer, and tailored p

That night, Heathen stood on the balcony of his penthouse looking out into the city. What he'd witnessed through the day flooded through his head, but one thought loomed larger than all the others: Aria Chen.He couldn't deny that she had impressed him, not just with her work but with her poise in the face of Marcus's subtle intimidation. There was a fire in her, a strength that reminded him of the person he used to be before tragedy had hollowed him out.But that fire also made her a target.Heathen knew Marcus wouldn't stop at veiled threats. The man would exploit any weakness to get what he wanted and Aria's involvement in the project had put her squarely in his crosshairs.For the first time in years, Heathen felt a twinge of something unfamiliar: concern.Aria awoke to an unusual sense of tension in the air. Even though her mornings usually began with the hum of her alarm and the soothing ritual of her tea, today felt different. There was a weight hanging over her a lingering u

The anxiety in the air was obvious as Aria walked into King Enterprises' sophisticated office the next morning. Her actions of the previous days were bothering her, yet they had also sparked a flame within her a commitment not to allow Marcus Stone or anyone else degrade her abilities or value. She pressed the elevator buttons and the doors opened. Some employees greeted her and some waved towards her. She greeted them back with a smile but she could still feel the bitterness of her mood.As she stepped inside the elevator, she had a quick glimpse of herself in the reflected glass. Her face was stern, and her shoulders were straight. She gave the impression of a competent expert, yet behind the surface, doubt remained. The false story and unknown technical problems were upsetting her, but she refused to let it show. When the elevator doors lifted to the highest floor, Anna recognized her with her usual quick professionalism. "Mr. King is in a conference but has asked you to meet h

Aria straightened her head to examine the luxurious ballroom dancing, where visitors chatted underneath shining lights. The chatter of discussion and the clinking of champagne glasses filled the air, but she couldn't shake the burning feeling of being observed.Heathen's hand lay soothingly on her lower back, providing an affectionate signal of his being present. She sneaked a look at him. Everyone in the room admired his strong jawline, sharp gaze, and dominant presence. But she could feel the workload underneath his composed cool skin.“Stay close,” he murmured softly near her ears, his lips barely moving.“I’m not going anywhere,” Aria replied softly, tilting her head slightly to meet his sharp gaze.The tenderness in his eyes sparkled for a second before he led her to a group of powerful business figures. They exchanged nice greetings, and their conversations focused on current market conditions and future collaborations. While Heathen dominated the discussion ahead, Aria's th

Aria stood in the far corner of an elegant and sleek boardroom at King Enterprises as the early morning sun cast golden waves across the towering buildings of the city. The comforting warmth of Heathen's words from the previous evening still remained in her thoughts, but right now, the real world requested her complete concentration. Her head throbbed with unresolved thoughts about Marcus's plans and the hanging memory of Vanessa's unpleasant behavior.Heathen stepped in very soon later, his flawless suit highlighting his powerful and strong personality. His icy composure dominated the atmosphere, and Aria felt reassured for just a split second. However, when his attention caught hers, a flash of worry flashed on his face. "Did you even fall asleep?" Heathen inquired, his voice pitched so low that only she could hear. She tried to think of an excuse but Heathens intense glare was enough to make all her thoughts about making an excuse vanish.Aria grinned softly while enjoying her

Aria found herself lost in a pile of duties at King Enterprises. Her desk was overflowing with documents, plans, and business discussions, but her mind was far away lost in thoughts of someone else. Marcus' planned threats was another frustration she was dealing with, the danger that had followed them yesterday, and, most importantly, Heathen's change in personality and how he protects and trust her all replayed out in her head like a continuous loop.She felt his power, his stubbornness, and, behind it all, an unsaid intimacy that kept her chest warm throughout the chaos that followed both of them. Now, seated under the bright office lights, she shook her head, attempting to clear up the fuzz in her head because at this point it was getting annoying. This was not a moment for interruptions. There was too much at threat and risk, and her ability to stay focused was essential to the project's progress and, maybe, their own safety. As she was concentrated on her project a loud pie

The following week passed in a flurry of activity and work, but the project’s progress brought a sense of accomplishment to everyone involved. Aria and Heathen had managed to build and improve operations, gaining the trust of King Enterprises’ board and employees. However, they knew the war wasn’t over. Marcus might have backed down for a bit now, but his threat lingered like a shadow over their every move because he won’t back down easily. Late evening in following week, Aria sat in her office, reviewing the revised project timeline and material. Her desk was filled with endless blueprints, contracts, and a steaming cup of hot coffee she had barely touched. The faint chit chatter of the office cleaning staff echoed in the distance, but otherwise, the whole floor was silent. A knock at the door broke her focus and she came out of her trance. “Come in,” she called, her voice filled with fatigue and tiredness. Heathen stepped inside, his undeniable presence filling the room. He wa

The next morning atmosphere was thick with stress and tension as Aria entered the King Enterprises office building. Although the sun blazed brightly outdoors, the upcoming meeting with Harper placed a shadow over her mind and thoughts. She rehearsed the strategy Heathen and she had developed, determined to carry it out. Aria walked into the stunning lobby entrance and saw Heathen waiting for her near the elevators. His sleek grey suit and strong demeanor expressed power, and authority but his expression was steely, a clear indicator of his concentration on the task ahead. Heathen saw her approaching and his gaze softened a little. He waited for her to join him in the elevator."You are prepared for this?" Heathen spoke as she joined him."As prepared as I'll ever be," she said, shifting the bag on her shoulder.The elevator ride to the top level was silent, but their mutual determination was obvious. Heathen's jaw was set, and his eyes held the steely determination Aria had grown t
