The Billionaire's Secret Desire Be my woman
Elena had never been one to follow her heart without considering the consequences.But something about Lucas had ignited a spark within her, a longing she had long suppressed in the confines of her marriage to Andrew.Hence, in a moment of recklessness, she succumbed to the passion as if nothing else mattered.But as she stood face to face with him, the reality of her actions came crashing down around her like a tornado.Of all people, why did it have to be him?How could she have been so blind, so foolish?It was as if fate had played a cruel joke on her.“Come here,” the man ordered.Elena stood frozen as Lucas’ commanding voice cut through the air.Her muscles tensed as she once again resisted the urge to flee.“Don’t make me repeat myself,” Lucas growled, his impatience palpable.Elena swallowed hard, the taste of fear bitter on her tongue.She took hesitant steps towards him, her eyes fixed on the ground, as she refused to meet his piercing gaze.Lucas’s patience was wearing thin

Knox’s shoulders relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.After witnessing their boss’ interactions with that woman, they were afraid that the former might’ve taken a liking to her.But as quickly as the thought entered their mind, they dismissed it.Their boss was famous for being ascetic, and last night’s events were probably his testosterone bursting out for a breather.“In that case, I’ll inform the hotel manager that you’ll be going over,” Knox informed.Lucas raised a brow. “For what?”Knox felt a pang of confusion.Every time they visited Auburn Hills, his boss would always stay at the hotel.So why was he still asking?Lucas sensed his confusion and replied. “This is my house. Why should I stay in a hotel when I have my room here?”Knox’s mouth twitched, and he was rendered speechless.———Elena’s heels clicked against the pavement as she emerged from the lawyer’s office.The late afternoon sun cast long shadows, mirroring the desolation that enveloped her.After careful con

Elena cursed Samantha countless times for getting her into this predicament.Lucas nudged the food trolley and ordered. “Eat it.”“Huh?” Elena was confused.But when she realized the meaning of his words, she became infuriated.“You think I poisoned the food?” She gritted her teeth.Lucas shrugged, his answer obvious.Since he was suspicious, Elena wanted to ask him why he was still living in the mansion.Despite having a long day, she had prepared supper for him at this late hour; yet this man dared to question her motives.Did she look that free to him?With a sharp inhale, Elena grabbed the spoon.Glaring at him, she scooped up a mouthful of food and shoved it into her mouth, her jaw working furiously as she chewed.She savored every bite to show him she had eaten.After swallowing, she slammed the spoon back onto the table with a forceful clatter. “There, are you satisfied now?”Just when Elena thought he would let her go, she saw him shake his head. “No.”Lucas moved closer till

Mr. Harper, Andrew’s lawyer, stood up for his client’s defense.“Your Honor, my client refutes all claims of infidelity. The evidence they provided is not concrete enough to support the allegations against my client.”Then he turned to face the judge with a serious expression. “I request that an expert be brought in to examine the so-called evidence presented by Mr. Brown. Only then can we ensure the authenticity of these claims.”The judge nodded in agreement.“The court will not decide based on evidence that may be forged or falsified. Bailiff, please collect the evidence and examine it by an expert.”Elena’s stomach churned as she saw the bailiff collect the folder.With that, the courtroom fell into a tense silence as the expert inspected the photographs and documents presented by Mr. Brown.Every eye in the room was glued on him as he meticulously scrutinized each piece of evidence.After what felt like an eternity, the expert finally spoke.“Your Honor, after careful examination

“You…”Elena’s head spun with shock and confusion.“There you have it, your honor.” Mr. Harper spread out his hands in front. “Ms. Walker’s allegations were nothing more than a premeditated scheme to defraud Mr. Elliot of his assets.”Rage boiled within Elena. Unable to contain her emotions, she rose to her feet.“You’re lying!” she shouted. “All of you are lying!”The judge banged his gavel, calling for order in the court, but Elena couldn’t bring herself to care.All she could see was red, her vision clouded by the overwhelming anger that consumed her.Her eyes inadvertently swept across the courtroom, and she caught Andrew and Chloe exchanging a smug glance.A sickening realization dawned over Elena, and she suddenly quietened down.So all along, she had been nothing more than a pawn in Andrew’s game.A mere puppet dancing at the whim of his manipulations!Everything finally clicked into place.The fabricated evidence, Chloe’s testimony, and even Mr. Thompson.It was all part of An

“W-Why?” she asked weakly, with tears in her eyes.“It’s simple,” he sneered. “You dared to file for divorce against me and this is the consequence of your actions.”The blood inside Elena froze as he continued.“Don’t worry. It’s only a matter of a few hours. After that, they’ll escort you home.”“No! Andrew, please-”The kidnapper hung up the call mercilessly.As the line went dead, Elena’s gaze shifted to the group of kidnappers who were now surrounding her.They stared at her, their eyes roaming over her body with a sickening lust, as though they could not wait to pounce on her.Elena’s tears flowed down her cheeks as she shut her eyes. A silent plea to escape from the nightmare closing in around her.She refused to surrender to her fate, but she was helpless.She was alone and defenseless against a bunch of menacing figures.The kidnappers unbuckled their belts and closed in, their intentions clear.Just as they were about to make a move, the blaring sirens surrounded the warehou

“Was the show good?”Elena pecked him on the lips and nodded. “Thank you. I enjoyed it.”The man was amused by her actions. “Why are you so active tonight?”A small smile played on her lips as she replied. “I just realized it wasn’t bad to hook up with you.”“Is that so?”Elena did not reply.Instead, her gaze lingered on the cigarette between his long and slender fingers.With an impulse, she reached out and caught his hand just before he lifted it to his lips. “Teach me,” she said softly.Lucas looked at her quietly, the warmth of her touch seeping into him before he passed the stick to her.Elena followed suit.Her fingers trembled slightly as she lifted the cigarette to her mouth.She took a drag, and the smoke filled her lungs with a harsh burn.Feeling the burning sensation in her throat, Elena winced.*Cough*Perhaps she had been too eager, she choked on it and started coughing violently.After the coughing fit subsided, Elena raised her head with teary eyes and saw Lucas watch

Creak!The door opened, and within a flash, Elena was pushed inside the wardrobe.“Elena? Are you in here?”Elena’s breath caught in her throat as Andrew’s voice drifted into the room.A mischievous grin appeared on Lucas’ face as he observed Elena’s anxious expression.“Say, what would happen if I walked out right now?”Elena’s eyes widened in panic, her mind racing through a thousand worst-case scenarios.Lucas watched her terror-stricken appearance and dropped his forehead against her shoulder, muffling a laugh.“You…” Elena glared at him. “Can you not be so annoying for once?”Rubbing his face in the crook of her neck, Lucas responded. “I can. But you won’t be able to handle the consequences,” he admitted frankly.The tap of footsteps sounded extremely eerie in the silence.Elena glanced towards the closed door, and then back at Lucas.“Please do something,” she pinched his waist.Lucas’ eyes narrowed dangerously at her bold move and vowed to settle scores with her later.Meanwhil

Clad in a perfectly tailored black suit, Lucas strode forward, his presence commanding and cold.With a thin wisp of smoke curling from its barrel, he kept the gleaming handgun aimed at Andrew.Lucas’s piercing eyes locked onto Andrew, making the latter feel as though someone had drenched him in a bucket of ice water.Andrew staggered backward, his fear evident in the way his legs wobbled.Lucas stopped a few steps away, his imposing figure towering over the room like a dark shadow.“I see you don’t understand human language,” he said, tilting the gun. “Coincidentally, my gun doesn’t understand either. But it’s very good at making its point.”For a moment, Andrew forgot Lucas had shot him.His face twisted in rage as he shouted at the man before him.“You damned man! Why weren’t you picking up our calls, huh? The Elliot Corporation is in crisis, and you’re here doing nothing! Aren’t you too capable?” Andrew sneered. “Why haven’t you saved the company yet?”“Why should I save the compa

“All this time, I thought you’d be miserable without me. But I didn’t expect you to actually be… sponsored by a sugar daddy.” Andrew scoffed, the disgust in his voice apparent.“If all you wanted was to be a mistress, then what was wrong with being with me? Do you think I couldn’t provide you?”Hearing his ridiculous words, Elena was so angry that she vomited blood.But before she could respond, a sweet voice interrupted her.“You’re focusing on the wrong thing, Andrew,” Chloe looked at her husband.Then, she turned to Elena with a smile that was anything but friendly. “Since you’ve latched on to someone powerful, why don’t you use that to help our company? On account of the friendship we’ve shared before, you can surely do that, right?”Andrew’s face lit up.He turned to Elena promptly and said. “She’s right! You should talk to him. Convince your sugar daddy to invest in the Elliot Corporation. This is the perfect chance to redeem yourself.”Elena stared at him before a sharp laugh e

“I’ll need you to join us as well.”The words sent a chill down Andrew’s spine.A wave of disgust and rage surged through him.“No,” he said firmly, shaking his head. “That’s too much. I refuse!”Mr. Dexter laughed. “Beggars can’t be choosers, Mr. Elliot. But let me remind you, the banquet starts in a few hours. If you want those invitations, you do as I say.”Andrew gritted his teeth.This banquet wasn’t just an event; it was their last hope to salvage their crumbling empire.Although the thought made him sick, the benefits of what the invitations could bring were intoxicating.As for Mr. Dexter…He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms.It was just a one-time thing.Not like he hadn’t played with the same sex before.With a deep breath, Andrew forced himself to meet Dexter’s gaze.“Fine,” he said. “I’ll do it.”“That’s more like it,” Mr. Dexter raised his glass in a toast.Chloe gloated as she watched Andrew squirm in the same situation as her.But when she thought ab

Chloe cradled the toddler, rocking back and forth in her arms, but nothing worked.The baby’s cries filled the space, and it was now beginning to annoy her.She was exhausted, physically and emotionally, and this wasn’t helping.Andrew was more direct.He was already in a bad mood and the non-stop cries made his anger explode.“Can’t you make her stop?” he snapped.Once again, Chloe tried to hush her daughter.But the child’s wails continued, and Andrew’s irritation deepened. “Why did you even bring her?” he hissed.Chloe finally looked at him, her eyes revealing a hint of exhaustion. “And who would’ve looked after her back home? You think we have the luxury of nannies anymore?”The little girl’s face was bright red, her small features scrunched up in discomfort.But as a first-time mother, Chloe did not know what was wrong with her daughter.What was worse was she did not try to find out, either.“Both of you are nothing but a liability,” Andrew spat, his voice dripping with venom. “

Thomas nodded grimly. “Yes. Throw them to the public while we quietly secure whatever remains of our empire. It’s the only way.”Richard took another drag from his cigarette before crushing it into the ashtray.In fact, he had the same thought in his mind.Facing a calamity, the Elliots never hesitated to go to extreme lengths.Back then, he had also thrown his ex-wife out.If he can do it once, why wouldn’t he do it again?Just as he was about to agree, the door burst open with a loud bang.Samantha stormed inside, her face contorting with disbelief and anger.“How dare you!” she roared. “How dare you even think of throwing us out like this? After everything I’ve done for this family.”Richard’s icy gaze landed on Samantha. “You and your son have done enough for this family. Now it’s time for you both to pay the price,” he said mercilessly.“No…” Samantha’s voice trembled as she shook her head. “You can’t do this to us, Richard. We’re your family. We’ve stood by your side through eve

Vanessa rose from her chair and stormed out of her private room.The doors to Room No. 6 loomed in front of her, and without bothering to knock, she pushed them open.Inside, seated comfortably on a leather chair, was a man Vanessa had never seen before.He was tall and composed, with dark brown hair styled, and piercing eyes that glimmered with amusement.The corners of his mouth curled into a smirk as if he had been expecting her.“Hello, Miss Walker,” the man said lazily, swirling the champagne in his glass. “I was wondering how long it would take for you to visit me. You’re quicker than I expected.”Vanessa paused for a split second.Then her fiery temper flared.“Who the hell do you think you are? Are you purposely trying to mess with me?” she snapped.The man chuckled, feigning innocence. “Mess with you? Oh no, Miss Walker. I’m simply participating in the auction. Isn’t that what we’re all here for?”The nonchalance in his tone made Vanessa grit her teeth. “Enjoying the auction?

The weight of her words hung heavily in the air.Now no one could accuse her of nepotism or use her parents’ influence to shield herself from risk.One of the older directors couldn’t hold back his curiosity and spoke. “You’re willing to shoulder the entire financial risk of this project… on your own. Can I ask why?”“Yes,” Elena answered without hesitation. “Because I believe in this project. And I believe in myself.”Elena’s confidence wasn’t born out of arrogance.The partnerships she proposed were strategic and, if executed well, could elevate the Pristine Enterprise’s status globally.Elena’s lips curved into a faint smile as she continued. “I spent the last few years observing, learning, and strategizing. I may have been away from the company physically, but I’ve been monitoring everything. The Pristine Enterprise is my family’s blood and sweat, and I intend to protect it.”The shareholders exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of respect and intrigue.It wasn’t every day s

The news about Elena becoming the next CEO spread like wildfire, but the outcome was unexpected.Inside the Pristine Enterprise.The long mahogany table stretched across the room, surrounded by a dozen stern-faced directors.Dylan Walker sat at the head of the table.While Elena sat beside him, her back straight and her face expressionless.The conference room buzzed with tension as the board members voiced their frustrations.“Chairman,” one of the senior directors, Mr. James, began, “Miss Elena has been absent from the family business for years. How can we trust her to suddenly manage an empire she hasn’t been a part of?”Another director chimed in, her glasses perched low on her nose as she stared at Elena. “We’re talking about the Pristine Enterprise, one of the largest conglomerates in the country. This isn’t some playhouse where positions can be handed out based on family ties.”Murmurs of agreement rippled through the table.“Chairman Walker,” Mr. Lee, one shareholder, interjec
