The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 36 Showdown
“Come down in five minutes. We will pay a visit to an old friend.” Mr. Garcia ends the call abruptly, giving Mia no opportunity to ask for more details. Old friend? Mia assumes it is Mr. Scott, the chief justice of the New York Supreme Court, that Mr. Garcia refers to. She heard that Mr. Scott and Mr. Powell went back a long way—they met each other during their freshman year at Stanford and hit it off instantly. Two cars are waiting at the gate of the mansion. One is the black Rolls-Royce Mr. Powell usually takes. She steps into the other black Land Rover and sits in the passenger seat. In ten minutes, Mr. Garcia walks out of the mansion with sour-faced Mr. Powell and they get in the Rolls-Royce. Then the cars start off. With just the driver and her in the car, Mia relaxes a little bit. Everyone in the mansion is tense since the arrest of Anthony. She has witnessed lots of drama played in the study, Mr. Powell blaming his wife for spoiling and ruining their oldest son, Mrs. Powel
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 37 Promise
Everything went into a blur after Mr. Powell left. All Mia could remember was Chris taking her into his car and driving them to the house in Brooklyn. He said something in the car and kissed her hand to soothe her, but her mind failed to register his words. It takes her a while to realize where she is when she wakes up on the bed. The room is dark with curtains drawn. Chris’ familiar and intoxicating scent fills the bedroom, warming and relaxing her. She gets up and slips off the bed to search for him. The house is so quiet that the unsettled feelings resurface. Chris raises his head from the paper he is busy with when Mia appears in the doorway of the study. “Hi, how is your nap?” He smiles and marches right up to embrace her. “It is not a nap. I slept for 4 hours. You should have woken me up.” Mia presses her head against his chest, closing her eyes to enjoy his warmth. “You are exhausted. I want you to take a good rest.” He says, his hand gently massaging her scalp, earning a
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 38 Laura
“I’ll be alright, Jack will be with me.” Mia squeezes Chris’ arm, trying to assure him. “I don’t understand why you must go there in person. Jack can deliver your resignation letter to him.” Chris holds her tightly, unwilling to let her go. “I do have to hand over a few confidential projects to Sussie. It is better to do that in person. Relax, I don’t think your father will do anything to me in his office building. Wouldn’t that be too blatant?” “I don’t want to risk anything when it comes to you,” Chris says firmly. “I know, but you cannot keep me in the house secluded and secured from everyone for the rest of my life, right?” “If I have to do that, I will,” Chris vows, earning a gentle slap on his back from Mia. “You will not! I don’t want to be Rapunzel. I promise I will keep Jack around me wherever I go. Okay?”“I’m going with you if you insist on doing the whole resignation thing in person.” “No, remember you have to give a speech at the annual stakeholder meeting this mo
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 39 Reunion
Mia paces back and forth in the living room. She digs her fingernails into her palms to calm her nerves, while her brother Calvin is excited with joy and anticipation. “It is almost 11 o’clock. Are you sure she will visit us?” He asks, his eyes twinkling with hope. “Yeah. She will.” Unless something happens. But Mia keeps that to herself. She hasn’t told Calvin how she came to locate Laura, too afraid to frighten his brother with the horror scenes she witnessed through a cell phone. Chris called her half an hour ago that they were on their way to her apartment. But anything could happen. What if Mr. Powell goes back on his word? What if something happens on the way? What if bad things happen to Laura and Chris?Her legs feel weak at the thought. She cannot stand the idea of losing Laura, and worst, losing Chris. She would rather die herself than see him hurt or lose him. “Mia, are you alright?” Sensing her sudden weakness, Calvin wheels to her and helps her to the sofa. “I’m jus
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 40 What’s next
“Anthony Powell, the heir of the multi-billionaire dollar Powell Empire, walks free from the court today after key witnesses withdraw their testimonies. The prosecutors have dropped their charges against the businessman. He was previously accused of colluding with the notorious terrorist…” The news anchor’s monotone voice stops after Chris turns off the TV. He walks to the window and runs his fingers through his hair. He hides his frustration well in front of Mia, never showing any signs or feelings and keeping tight-lipped about the matter. But when he thinks Mia is not around or he is alone, his emotion will emerge on the surface. Right now, Mia could tell how frustrated and defeated he is seeing Anthony walking free and clear of charges. Quietly descending the stairs, Mia walks toward him and hugs him from behind. His muscles visibly relax once he feels the familiar warm body pressing against him. “How are you?” Mia whispers. “I’m fine,” he answers gently, his hand covering
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 41 Meet Ruby
A warm body comes from behind and presses against Mia. The owner of the firm and muscular body rests his chin on her head and wraps his arms around her waist, sending tingles all over her body.“Whoa,” Mia states while taking in the beautiful courtyard of Aphrodite. It is very quiet and lit by lamps here and there. She is not sure whether there is an artificial brook but she could hear the murmur of flowing waters. Like soothing music to her ears. There are various exotic green plants she has never seen before. Vibrant and beautifully shaped. The faint fragrance of peonies hits her nose. She inhales the aura deeply into her lungs. “You like it?” Chris says in a deep low voice. “Yeah. It is so beautiful and elegant. I never thought a restaurant could have a courtyard in the city. It is so big. How much rent will it cost?” Mia asks curiously. “Well, this place is the owner’s personal property. But the design of the whole place does cost a fortune.” Chris states nonchalantly.“How d
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 42 An old place
“I need to go inside. Tara doesn’t like eating alone. I’ll talk to you later.” Ruby bids goodbye to them and goes inside the restaurant. Chris and Mia keep strolling in the delicate courtyard hand in hand, enjoying each other’s company. “Feeling any better?” Chris asks after a while. “Yeah,” Mia says. She feels so much better after Ruby’s kind words. “I want to take you to a place,” Chris says, tilting his head. “Which place?” Mia asks curiously. “You’ll know when we get there,” Chris winks at her. “Alright, Mr. Mysterious,” Mia couldn’t help the smile forming on her face. Sitting in the passenger seat, Mia sees the city recede in the rearview mirror. Her curiosity is piqued even more. The car changes lanes to the Long Island Highway. “You are not going to murder me and dump me in desolate woods, right?” Mia jokes. “Oh, never, I will never do that to a pretty woman, especially when I could get enough of that woman,” Chris smirks. Mia shakes her head with a smile. After more
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 43 In Action
Streaks of sunlight leak through the curtain into the room. The merry chirping of birds stirs Mia. She rolls over and her eyes flutter open.Warm lips cover her forehead. “Good morning, sleepyhead,” Chris teases. “What time is it?” Mia asks groggily, having difficulty keeping her eyes open. “It’s noon,” Chris says while planting random kisses on her here and there. “Noon?” Mia gasps. She has developed a habit of oversleeping since she was jobless. She feels quite lazy lately. “How long have you been awake?” Mia asks with her eyes closed, enjoying the goosebumps his kisses leave on the trail. “A few hours ago,” he says. “Why didn’t you wake me up? We could have breakfast together.” She says in a breathy tone and bites her lips from moaning out loud. His tongue is licking the sensitive spot between her neck and her collarbone. “Are you hungry?” Chris stops his kiss and looks at her with a devilish smile. “I think I probably overslept my hunger,” Mia answers honestly. “Good.

The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 53 Closure and New Beginning
Six Months Later Chris takes a seat in the corner of the visiting room of Hudson Correctional Facility, waiting for his father to be brought up to him. His father has been sentenced to 10 years for bribing a federal judge in addition to some other economic crimes. The empire he built from scratch with his mother almost toppled overnight with his conviction together with Anthony’s. Not wanting his mother’s work to go to waste, he helped Anderson get through the most difficult time. Now Anderson is leading the company with Chris as the biggest shareholder. Anthony got what he deserves the most. Life imprisonment in a maximum-security prison for kidnapping, multiple rapes, and murder of a victim’s brother. The last count of conviction surprised almost everyone and helped put Anthony in prison for good. He is going to rot in prison and Chris doesn’t plan for him to enjoy the prison too much. He has made sure that Anthony would be “well taken care of” in that Wisconsin facility. After
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 52 A difficult confession
The long hallway is dim and quiet without a single soul in sight. Mia walks in the hallway cautiously, wary of any movement. After a few minutes, she finally reaches the elevator hall. Pressing the down button, she waits for the lift to arrive on her floor. She steps into the elevator when the door opens, without giving much thought to the man standing in it with his back on her. At the exact moment, the elevator door closes, fear grips her heart, and the hair on the back of her neck stands up. She pushes the open button furiously but it doesn’t work. “Got you!” A familiar and sinister voice sounds behind her. A cold ugly hand comes from behind and drags her to the corner.Mia tries to scream, but no sound comes out as if she is mute. Tears begin to roll down her cheeks. She feels so helpless. The man is too strong to fight off. “This time you are not gonna get away. I’m gonna make you pay!” the man whispers gruffly, his one hand starting to tear her clothes from her. No, no, n
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 51 The Toolshed
“The tracker has been installed in your watch. They will search your body and probably will make you take it off. But it’s worth a try.” Agent Thomson who is in plainclothes says calmly, handing Chris his watch. Chris nods absentmindedly. All he could think about right now is Mia. He squeezes his eyes shut and doesn’t dare to think about what she is suffering now. It is all his fault. He only brings her pain and misfortune. First her sister, now her. He is going to let that son of bitch really pay. “The call clearly requires you to go alone. We’ll tail you but keep a safe distance so that Anthony won’t cash in his promise.” Thomson continues. “I get it. I only want her safe and sound even if it's at the price of my life.” Chris says solemnly, thinking of Anthony’s threat. “Come alone. I know you have called the police. But if I see any sign of police showing up when you come, I’ll shred her into pieces, believe me or not.” Anthony warned when he called this morning at 6 am. Chr
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 50 Nightmare
“What the hell are you talking about, Tara?” Chris snarls, anger simmering in his eyes. He pushes her off of him and steps back to put distance between them. Tara stumbles onto the desk, hurt written over her face. “You said you have something concerning Anthony that you want to talk with me about. But instead, you are putting on this little show and saying nonsense. What is wrong with you?” Chris waves his hands in frustration. “I…I just want to be with you. I love you.” Tara mutters, tears starting welling up in her eyes. “Don’t you get it that nothing is going to happen between us? I love Mia. As I said to you before, you will always be my friend. But don’t make me end our friendship because I won’t hesitate if you make another advance.” Chris threatens. “But that is not what you said to me when you had that mental breakdown. You said I was the only one who truly understood you. You said you love me.” Tara cries out in desperation. Heaving a sigh, Chris runs his hand down his
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 49 Kidnapped
Mia stands in front of the mirror and does the last check of her light makeup. Everything looks perfect. She is ready to go downstairs. An arm snakes around her waist, pulling her closer to the owner of a strong body that screams masculinity and sexiness behind her. Chris buries his face in her bare shoulder, nipping at her slightly, sending a shiver down her spine. “You look breathtaking,” he mumbles while continuing to suck the sensitive spot between her neck and the collarbone. Mia bites her lips hard to stifle a moan. “You don’t look so bad yourself,” she manages to say breathily, peering from the corner of her eyes at him. He wears an expensive tailored black suit that fits him nicely, showcasing his muscles and long legs. “Like what you see?” his lips pull into a mischievous smirk. Blood rushes to Mia’s cheeks. Chris presses his body tightly against her, letting her feel his hardness poking at her bottom. One of his hands slides up to squeeze her breast underneath the thin
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 48 Doubts
Lily enters the study with her usual elegance, the only thing changing is her attitude. She acts less haughty. She sits down crossing her legs in the chair facing Chris, who sits behind the heavy oak desk with an unreadable expression. She takes out a small black object from her white Chanel bag. Squinting her eyes, Mia recognizes it as a flash drive. Lily stares at the flash drive in her hand, hesitating to hand it out. Looking up, she gazes into Chris who stares at her with a pair of cold eyes. “Here is what you want,” she slides the flash drive to Chris’ side. With a gesture from Chris, Jack grabs the flash drive and disappears from the room. “I’ve done what you demanded. You must honor your promise.” Lily says, straightening her shoulders. “Usually I’m a man of words,” Chris says, his lips curling up into a smirk. “But we still have things unsettled, Casey.” Lily’s lips twitch, and her expression changes into shock. She tries to move her lips but nothing comes out of her
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 47 Lies
Drumming his fingers on the desk, Chris presses his lips and reads the document in his hand carefully. “So what do you think?” Tara asks in anticipation. “Has our legal team given it a green light?” Chris raises his head from the document. “Yes, they looked into the open letter and the list of newspapers and their contacts. They okayed it yesterday. We can send the open letter to the newspapers in the afternoon. ” Tara says. “Put the plan on hold until I give it a go.” Chris pinches the bridge of his nose. “So what are we waiting for? Everything is ready.” Tara says, looking confused. “Waiting for a lethal secret,” Chris says. “What?” Tara sounds even more confused. Mia knocks on the door lightly, “Am I interrupting?” “Not at all, come in, Mia,” Chris lights up at her. “I thought you guys might need a cool refresher,” Mia says, putting two cups of iced coffee on the desk. “Right on time, thank you, beautiful,” Chris beams and grabs her hand for a kiss. Mia smiles and sits b
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 46 Unexpected Visit
“Good morning, pretty,” Chris’ husky voice sounds near her ear, his breaths fanning on her neck, making her body tingly. “Morning, Mr. Sexy,” Mia turns to face her, stretching her body lazily. “I have good news for you,” Chris raises himself up on one elbow. The other arm pulls her closer to his naked torso. “What is it?” Mia’s curiosity is piqued, distracting her from Chris’ tempting hard chest and bulging muscles. “Kimberly is in,” Chris grins.“Really?” Mia says with excitement.“And here is more, she wants to write an open letter with Ruby.” Mia screams with delight. “Schuh, little monster, you are waking up our neighbor,” Chris teases. “That is so far better than I thought. I thought she was going to reject joining us.” Mia beams. “She said you and Ruby gave her courage, especially your promise on my behalf.” “Are you mad that I made a promise without telling you and acquired your consent first?” “Not at all. You did the right thing, my smart, beautiful, sexy girlfriend
The Billionaire's Revenge Chapter 45 Any Possible Death
The meeting with Kimberly is set in the floral shop she owns in lower Manhattan.Chris doesn’t like the idea of Mia being involved in the plan, but he sees how much Ruby trusts Mia and how clever her plan is. He gives his approval of her involvement with one condition: She will have bodyguards around her whenever she is out of his sight. Mia thinks it is a little dramatic but agrees to make him feel better. So there she is. In the small floral shop with Ruby. The three buffy bodyguards headed by John in dark suits standing by her side make the shop even smaller. Kimberly is a blonde with a supermodel’s body and a Hollywood actress’ face. She makes Mia wonder if all his ex-girlfriends are as gorgeous as her. After getting to know each other, Kimberly guides them to sit at the table in the corner of the shop. The bodyguards stand by the door, guarding the shop and sending an intimidating aura. “Oh my, they are going to scare my customers away,” Kimberly jokes. “I’m sorry,” Mia win
