"How's the project with Harrison going?" I asked Lillian as we trudged out of the seminar room. I'd attended a webinar and had to take part in a few activities here and there and if I could name one thing I desperately needed right now, it was a bottle of ice cold soda.
Perhaps when Lillian went for lunch I would tell her to get me a nice bottle. I hadn't had soda in years. One wouldn't kill me would it?
"Well? I guess," I didn't have to look back to know that Lillian shrugged behind me. She had a complacent look on her face when we left the webinar and I had a niggling feeling something was wrong.
I just didn't know how to ask in a way that wouldn't see I was meddling in my employee's affairs.
"I need stats, Lillian. Wake out of that slug and give me the answers I need." I snapped and that seemed to jolt her back to life

The Billionaire's Submissive The unexpected question
Tom's POVI took a sip out of my juice and glanced up at Eve to see her cleaning her mouth with a napkin. She was done? Damn that was fast. Usually she tended to take forever when eating meals, I had complained about it a gazillion times. Now, watching her eat quickly made me feel an uncomfortable ache in my chest.Now that I think about it, she ate her meals very quickly these days. Sometimes, when I came back home, she would have had dinner and would be up in bed napping. Was sleeping the only damned thing she knew? That was all she had done in Hawaii as well. Slept like a fucking panda every single day.No, that wasn't right. There was that one time when I had gotten back to the resort in the evening and she wasn't in the room. I'd searched the lobby and fountain for her and she'd literally disappeared until I sent a text asking where she was.I ha
The Billionaire's Submissive The package
Eve's POVI held my breath, waiting to hear the sound of Tom's car driving out of the garage into the distance. It didn't come, not yet.That meant he was still home.It was several minutes past eight in the morning. The sun was looking particularly bright and so was I. I was brimming with excitement. Tom's schedule since we had arrived from Hawaii had been a bit weird and I hadn't wanted to open the gift Adam had given me just before we left when he was around.It had taken everything to conceal the gift parcel from Tom. I had to pack my clothes early, way before he woke up so I could hide them in the many folds of my clothes. And when we got back to New York city, I had managed to find a hiding spot for it among the shoes.And I hadn't touched it since then. I had been afraid that Tom would see the parcel and then I would lose it
The Billionaire's Submissive Barlow's message
Tom's POVThe day started well enough. I had a great breakfast. A couple of meetings and by the time it was eleven, I was having a blast. Until my phone pinged with a message.Barlow.I didn't bother reading it because I was too damned busy to be running around doing his bidding as if I was a damned slave or something. What the hell was the pig's problem anyways? We had signed a deal together, that didn't mean he got to boss me around now, did it?I ignored the message and continued reading through the files when barely thirty minutes later, the phone rang and of course it was Barlow.I sighed as I stared back at the screen. Had something happened? Did the police find him? No, it couldn't be the end yet. Not yet.After contemplating for a while, I picked the call, wincing when the bastard yelled right into
The Billionaire's Submissive Terrifying fear
Eve's POVI sighed and turned on my side, staring into empty space. The room was dim. I had turned off the lights except for the lamp on the bedside table. I had tried turning that off as well but I'd gotten terrified at the pitch blackness that resulted and stuck with the lamp.The darkness was terrifying, it felt like I was locked up in the basement again. With the light on, it felt easier to breathe.I wished that made it easier to sleep too. I had moved to the bed an hour ago after staring at the boring TV screen. And yet I found it hard to sleep. Perhaps that was because I had slept a bit that afternoon.The room felt hot despite the cotton nightwear I wore and I sighed, sitting up. What was the point in trying to sleep when sleep eluded me anyways? I shuffled out of bed, turning on the lights in the room. It was almost ten at night and Tom wasn't back.&
The Billionaire's Submissive A secret that would go with him to the grave
Tom's POV"Shit! Shit! Shit!" I muttered as I stormed into the study, my body trembling like a damned leaf in autumn. What the hell? What the actual hell? I could see it all over again, playing over and over in my damned mind. Barlow. The gun. The kid on the floor. The blood around him. Dammit! I let out a growl, marching towards my desk to pour the contents to the ground. My hands trembled as I shoved it all to the ground, watching the perfect set of stationeries fall to the ground. The noise was a bit comforting. It drowned the crazy sounds in my head for a while. The sounds that called me names. Murderer! Killer!"I didn't kill him," I scoffed at the voice but there was that damned tremor. That shaking of my voice as I denied what my head and heart decided to be true. "I didn't kill him, I didn't!"My words came out as a whisper. I glanced down at the blood on my shirt. I hadn't known it was there. I thought I had gotten rid of the evidence by destroying the coat. I
The Billionaire's Submissive The document surprise
Madeline's POV"This is it John,"Freaking perfect."Yeah no shit," The jackass grunted over the phone as if we hadn't managed to do something so fucking amazing.I glanced out the window at Stone's industry, the glass windows catching the sun and sending it right to my eyes. The shit burned but I didn't care. I would conquer it. One day, whether Adam wanted it or not, which was most likely the latter, I would be his wife.And I would be queen of the Stone Foundation."Sound a bit happier will you?" I told the sour idiot. "Today's when we go public. All key investors in the stone foundation will be there.""I'm sure they can't wait to authorize you as Mrs Stone's representative. They're just dying to do so." He said sarcastically and I rolled my eyes.
The Billionaire's Submissive A funny little sister
Adam's POVI had my head buried in a gazillion documents when the door to my office flew open. My sister stood at the entrance looking like she had won a dumbass lottery with how hard she was grinning.A sigh escaped me as I reluctantly reclined against my chair. Anabelle's presence here could mean nothing but chaos. We hadn't had a chance to talk ever since mother's birthday party and I knew, I just knew she had a gazillion questions to ask about Eve. I had seen it in her eyes when she came calling me to attend to the ruckus mother would have created."To what do I owe this pleasure?" I grunted. Don't get me wrong, I was pleased to see my little sister. I was just too tired to deal with whatever shenanigans she was determined to throw my way."To honor?" She chuckled, the grin on her face widening as she strode into my room."What?" I fr
The Billionaire's Submissive A dream that sparked suspicions
Eve's POVI was home again.No, not the faceless bland home I shared with Tom, a place that has felt more like a cage than a homey shelter in the past ten years. I was back at my parent's house.When I was a kid again.I could see my carefree father's smile as he raced towards me, trying to get a bug I had trapped in my hands out of it before I did something stupid like stuff it in my mouth."Papa!" Little me cried as he snatched the bug and launched it far away, beyond where my eyes could reach. "My bug!""Bugs are a no no," Papa said, his eyes crinkling delightfully as if he was having a blast, watching me.Mama was inside. Probably reading a book or watching through the window. She never really liked the idea of playing outdoors. She would rather we sit round a table of

Adam yelled groggily, hugging me tighter. He must be mad at her for running our sleep as well."But she has to!" Nuren said stubbornly."Ignore her," I mumbled to him, running my hands over his skin.He hummed in response. "It's a fucking Saturday. We ought to be allowed to sleep in,""Not like

Eve's POVGolden.He was all I could see. All I could feel. His scent drove me heady and aching with desire. I gripped the counter, hanging on, waiting, anticipating.Cold air whipped against my exposed skin as he yanked down the dress and tossed it aside. His breathing was ragged as he trailed kisses down my arched back, to my ass.He let out a hiss, smacking the cheeks, sending painful thrills up my spine and down to my pussy."Adam," I moaned, pushing against him. "Oh please, please."‘Ah fuck, I love it when you beg," he mumured huskily, giving me another smack. Heat pooled between my thighs and my juices spilled down my thighs. Another smack and soon he had me writhing and mewling begging him to give me what I wanted. What we both wanted."So fucking eage
The Billionaire's Submissive So, this is love
Adam's POVI watched Eve walk side by side with her mother on the patio. It had taken a great deal of work and patience to convince her mother to come. I had to send the video of Tom molesting Eve to her and that seemed to change everything.That seemed to reveal the truth.They seemed fine now, happy.They had hugged and held each other for hours, weeping buckets while I stood there watching. It tore me to bits, seeing her cry. But she needed it. I knew that."You did good," Mother said, joining me on the balcony where I stood. "I'm sure you've made her very happy.""Thank you mother," I murmured while taking a sip from my brandy. "That was the goal.""Oh," my mother arched her brow in a manner that told me she had something else to say. "And the goal
The Billionaire's Submissive Family reunion
Eve's POV"Wake up Eve,"A pair of lips teased and tickled my ears. I moaned, melting deeper against his touch. His very familiar touch."Mhmm," I purred, moaning softly as his hands stroked my arm."Are you up, my pet?"Oh I was . I was now. I had spent the past few days in Adam's arms.But as much as I enjoyed his presence,I feared that it would all end. I tried to push away those thoughts, telling myself that I was just being paranoid.As I opened my eyes, I saw his face looming over me, a smile playing on his lips. It sent a shiver down my spine and a soft sigh slipped from my lips. Adam leaned in closer, his eyes darkening with desire. The air between us crackled with tension.“Hey,” I whispered.“He
The Billionaire's Submissive His mansion
Eve's POVAdam drove us down to his house. Nuren had cried her eyes out when he had announced to everyone else that he was taking me with him. With the way she had cried, you would think Adam was carting me off all the way to the moon. But I was sure she was only too happy for me.The drive was quiet. And yet it felt so... Peaceful. The days after the incident at the warehouse had felt like that. Slow and peaceful and it was good.In the meantime.His house... Scratch that, his mansion was huge!The gate creaked open as we approached, revealing a long driveway lined with blooming cherry blossom trees. The mansion loomed ahead, its grandeur taking my breath away. Adam guided the car to a stop in front of the massive oak doors, and I stepped out, feeling small against the backdrop of opulence.“I thought y
The Billionaire's Submissive Conscious
Adam's POVFour days. They passed by in a blur. I couldn't remember much about what happened, but I could remember how I felt every single second.Afraid. Terrified. Devastated. Nothing had prepared me for what I had seen. Nothing had prepared me to lose Eve.When Tom had shot her, I was pretty sure I went mad. It had taken Micheal and the police to pry me off a bloodied Tom by the time I was done. The ambulance took its damned sweet time to arrive so while I called the pilot to the private jet, Micheal had checked her wound and helped do first aid. And I had held her in my arms on the flight home.Pale. She grew pale rapidly. Her pretty skin had lost its color until she looked so drained it terrified the shit out of me.I could feel the weight of her in my arms, her breath shallow and weak against my chest. Panic surged thr
The Billionaire's Submissive Shot
Author's POVWell duty called.Micheal Hamilton sped down the road that led outside New York city, a happy grin on his face. One would think he was on his way to attend a freaking birthday party with how excited he looked."Will you stop grinning like that?" Adam who sat in the passenger seat said with a concerned look. "It's fucking creepy man."Micheal chuckled and took a sharp turn at the same time, earning a glare from his best friend. It had been a while since they left Isabella Stone mansion and frankly he had expected Adam to rain down his questions.Instead, his best friend behaved as typical as anyone would expect Adam Stone to. He sat in the passenger seat quietly, occasionally glancing at him. If Micheal had to guess , he would say Adam was trying to connect the dots and figure out who or what he was exactly.
The Billionaire's Submissive Michael to the rescue
Adam's POV"Your mother says, your little miss Eve is hanging around somewhere,"Those were the first words Micheal said when I met him at the gate. He had the damned cocky grin on his face as if something permanently amused him."Perhaps I do," I chuckled, slipping my hands in my pocket. "With that grin on your face, I'm not so sure I want you to meet her.""Oh please, I have to. I need to know the woman who makes you do the craziest of shit," Micheal crackled, walking ahead of me into my mother's house."Try not to say shit when you meet her,""Shit like what?" he asked innocently and I just knew he was going to try something crazy when he saw Eve.We stopped by Mom's study to say."Hello, boys," Mom greeted us with a warm smile. She looked
The Billionaire's Submissive Evil ploy
Tom's POV"That bastard!" I spat as I scaled down the wall with Eve, gritting my teeth in disgust.I had watched him stroll with her. As if she were his. As if he had the right to.Now it all seemed to be clear. To be so fucking clear."Take her to the spot," Barlow ordered, jumping in right after me. "I'll signal the men."After a whole damned argument session with Barlow, he finally agreed to help. But what could possibly be much more valuable to Adam Stone? If we could get him to take back the charges and then say he had come up with the fake proof and lied that we were trafficking then everything would be solved.There was nothing the word of a billionaire could not accomplish. But the problem however had been discovering how to make Adam Stone give in. I had snuck into his mother's hou
