Henry popped open a champagne bottle, pouring the liquid into two transparent glass cups. He handed one to Daniel as he took it carefully.

"What is my schedule for tomorrow?" Henry asked.

"You are free the whole day. Except for the meeting with the Thompsons."

"Cancel it."

"We already canceled it the last time," Daniel said. "They would be furious if we canceled it again."

Henry pinched the bridge of his nose, frustrated. He just wanted a day to himself. That was not so much to ask for.

Ever since that encounter with Zoe at the restaurant, Henry had been feeling restless. She did not look good yesterday when he saw her at the office. She seemed a bit pale and bloated.

He had been showering her bank account with money to get a reaction out of her, but all he got was a cold shoulder. What else did she want? All the mistresses he had in the past would have come running back to him after that. But Zoe was just a different breed on her own.

He did not see what he did wrong, so he c

    Emily went to Magatech to check on Zoe on her day off. She had been protective of Zoe since news of the pregnancy came to light, making sure she did not overwork herself. Emily had advised her to quit the job at Magatech but Zoe did not think it was a good idea. Henry would get suspicious if she suddenly quit like that. She waited for Zoe in the first floor, looking around for a better view of the place. "Do you need something?" she heard a voice behind her and turned around. It was Daniel. He looked like he had just got off from work. "You can ask a worker for directions if there is someone you need to see.""I am actually here to pick up Zoe. Do not mind me."Daniel hummed. "I am sure she is fine on her own. Unless there is something wrong.""Everything is fine," Emily blurted out quickly. "I am just looking out for her. That is how we look out for ourselves." He nodded at that. "What is your name? I keep running into you." "Emily! You are here," They both turn their heads at Zo

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Trouble In Paradise

    Zoe did not show up to work the next day. And the day after that. Henry was thought she had been absent because she had personal stuff to deal with. But when it got to the fifth day, he could sense that something was awfully wrong. He was worried but still had no idea how to approach Zoe. She could be a fiery furnace sometimes and that gave him the chills. It was also something he loved about her. "Hello, brother. Missed me?" Jack strolled into his office with a goofy grin on his face and Henry rolled his eyes. "I do not have time to deal with you right now." "Let me guess. Trouble in paradise?" "Zoe has been missing for days," Henry said. "I just hope it is not what I am thinking." "Poor girl got fed up of your bullshit. I do not blame her."Henry glared at his brother. "Shut up." He called Daniel into the office and his secretary showed up in no time, noticing how mad Henry seemed. "What is wrong?" Daniel asked. "Zoe has not been to work for days. I told you to get informa

    "She left?! What do you mean she left?!" Henry’s voice boomed across the room. Daniel had expected that reaction from him, so he was the least surprised. "That is what her friend told me." So Zoe finally succeeded in running away from him? How stupid had he been to not see what she was plotting all along? She outsmarted him. "When did she leave? Where did she go?" Henry questioned."She left about almost a week now," Daniel replied. "Emily would not tell me where she went." "Who the fuck is Emily?" "Her friend."Henry rubbed at his forehead, still trying to process all that information. He had made a big mistake trusting that she would not run away again. It felt like a slap to his face. A huge blow. "She also said something you might want to hear," Daniel continued. "Well, spit it out! I do not have all the patience in the world!" "Emily mentioned that Zoe leaving the country had something to do with you." Henry thought about it deeply. Had he really been frustrating her so

    "You should have seen it, Emily. It was so annoying," Zoe complained bitterly over the phone, recalling the scene at the restaurant. "Men are the same everywhere." "Who the hell did he think he was?" "I know right!""Enough about that. How is Leo?" Emily asked. "He seems to like here a lot. Even more than me." "That is something I thought I would never hear happening," Emily admitted. Leo was settling in faster than Zoe would have imagined, and to think he did not want to come with her at first. Zoe's job hunt was still ongoing with no suitable results yet. She had gone through a lot of job listings online, only to be discouraged when she learned she had to learn how to speak Italian to be able to get a job. Zoe only knew a few Italian words. She thought it was stressful to learn the language. Her pregnancy was almost at its sixth month already and in three months time, she would be pushing a whole human being out of her. The thought of it was terrifying. Zoe was bringing a chi

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Doomsday

    Zoe was shopping for baby clothes and supplies one afternoon with Greta by her side. She wanted to get things done early in case the baby came at any moment. The gender of the child was still not known, so she bought everything in unisex. She had refused to check, wanting it to be a beautiful surprise to herself. She deserved it, after all she had been through. She pulled out her phone, checking for any blog article about Magatech. Zoe could not find any. The blogs were her only chance to find out what was going on with the company and with Henry. Zoe was still in search of a house to rent for she and Leo. It would be an inconvenience to raise her child in Emily’s family house. They had already accepted Zoe and Leo into their home for months, how inconsiderate would she be to add a child to the list. They were too nice. Zoe did not want to take their help for granted. "That should be all for now," Greta said, looking over the items they bought. It was a lot. They both walked to

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Emily's Flip Switch

    Emily bursted into Henry’s office at Magatech, looking furious as ever. She had been keeping quiet for too long, and she decided it was time he got a piece of her mind. What kind of a man cut off funds from a woman with his child? She would excuse him for not knowing about the baby. But how would he render her penniless like that? What gave him the right to lord over her life that way? Henry was sitting behind his desk, sharing in the same angry expression. He wanted to know who this woman was and what gave her the right to barge into his office anyhow she liked. "Emily?" Daniel said in surprise, thrown off balance with her grand entry. "What are you doing here?""I need to have a chat with your boss," she said, her eyes never leaving Henry’s. "What is the meaning of this?!" Henry bellowed. "How dare you walk in here unannounced?!" "Do you know how much I am holding myself back from punching your stupid face in?" "Emily," Daniel stepped in front of her. "Calm down and let us tal

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Curiosity Does Kill The Cat

    Zoe woke up at the same time Leo did for work and got ready to follow him without him knowing. Up until she spoke with Emily the previous night, Zoe had never guessed what Leo’s new job would be, and she was determined to find out. He had been more secretive around her lately too, and that heightened Zoe’s suspicions. She should better not catch him doing something bad or he would get an earful. Zoe’s pregnancy was pushing eight months, and it protruded out of every cloth she wore. No matter how big the dress she wore was, it did not still fully cover her enlarged stomach. She decided to just wear her normal clothes. It was not a shame to be seen pregnant. Zoe sneaked out of the house behind Leo, making sure her footsteps were silent enough and keeping a safe distance. She saw him make a phone call when he got to the bus stop. Then after some minutes had passed, a black SUV showed up. Its glasses were tinted so she could not see who was inside. Leo slid into the backseat as the c

    Lucien stood before them, hands in his pockets, a devilish smile glued to his face. "We cannot let random strangers into the estate, Lucien. You know that," Rico said, terrified that Mario could come back any minute and see her there. All hell would break loose. "Why not?" Lucien asked. "One of our workers had a visitor. I could not just send her back." Lucien was stirring up trouble as always, and Rico knew it. If he was not Mario’s brother, he would have taken a good beating from Rico. "You are done for today," Rico directed to Leo who was shooting glares at Zoe. "Get you and your sister out of here before I lose my temper." Leo nodded and dragged Zoe out of their presence. Zoe looked over her shoulders continually, trying to remember where she saw the other guy from, but her memory was too hazy. The men at the gate opened up to let them pass. When they were finally out of the estate, Leo gave a deep breath of relief. "You almost got us killed, do you know that?" Leo said. "

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Kiss And Makeup

    He was not sure who deepened the kiss first. It might have been Zoe- or at least a part of him wanted it to be her- but since it was all he had been thinking about since he saw her when she walked downstairs, it seemed more likely it was him. It stopped being important who deepened it first when their mouths collided fully in a clash of wet, warm tongues. Zoe’s arms went up and around his neck, clinging to him. Henry slid his hands down her body to her backside, scooping her up into his arms. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed her mouth further into his, exploring, tasting. The soft moans she released from her throat made his body tremble slightly. His knees weakened as his erection lengthened. Zoe kissed her way down his face, around his mouth to his neck, his throat, inhaling deeply when she got there. She felt perfect in his arms. He dropped her mouth to her shoulder and bit her there softly which caused her to moan louder. Bringing his mouth back to hers, he move

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Jealous Mario

    Zoe went to Mario’s house the next day with rage. She had made herself clear about leaving Henry to her. Why he kept meddling, she could not tell. She went into his room without knocking, and saw a half naked girl on his bed. The sheets was the only thing covering her nude body. "Welcome," the girl looked at Zoe from toe to head. "Mario did not say anything about a third person joining us." "Where is he?" "He stepped out for a bit." Zoe groaned in frustration. He was having fun with girls while also making things hard for her. The door to Mario’s room opened and he walked in wearing a black robe. He took one last puff of his cigar and put out the flame on a steel plate, furrowing his eyebrows at Zoe."What are you doing here? I did not ask you to come over." "I needed to discuss with you," she glanced at his visitor on the bed. "In private." "Excuse us," Mario told the girl as she got up from the bed, shrugged on a dress and walked out. "You can speak now.""I thought we agreed

    Zoe stared up to the face of the voice in shock. Henry’s eyes searched her face worriedly. "What is wrong?" he asked. "You look like you have just seen a ghost." "I needed to step outside for a moment," she replied, checking to see if Mario was anywhere in sight. Zoe could no longer find him in the swarm of people. "You should have told me. Let us go somewhere else if you do not feel comfortable here." Zoe shook her head. "You still have guests to meet. I do not want to keep you away from them.""You are more important to me. Let us go." She felt bad making him leave early because of her. Zoe followed him outside, letting Henry open the front door for her. "Since when are you this nice?" "I am a changed man." Zoe snorted at his claims. "That is hard to believe." Henry was trying everything he could to gain her trust but she was being too hard headed. He should have known winning her over would take more effort and work. Coercing her into a contract marriage was obviously not e

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Can Run But Can't Hide

    Henry cleared out his work schedule to spend the day with Zoe. The last time they went out together on a date, he ended up messing everything up. This was his second chance to earn her trust again. Maybe if she trusted him, she would not have to be sneaking around in the house and be open to him. If she was hiding something from him then there must be a reason. She had never been one to be too secretive. Zoe would come to him herself whenever she was ready, but for now, he had to focus on winning her back. Zoe changed out of her clothes into something perfect for a date. She wore a dress with heels and a sling bag. Henry suggested a date together out of nowhere. Was he really changing for the better? Why did he have to be nice to her now of all times? If Mario had asked her a year ago to crash the servers, she would have done so with glee and without hesitation. But not now that he is actually putting in effort to make sure she was happy. Zoe joined Henry outside who waited for he

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Trapped Between Henry And Mario

    What Mario asked her to do was impossible. Crash Henry’s company of all things? He had already admitted to his wrongdoings and even apologized, doing what Mario suggests would be beyond heartless of her. "I can't..." Zoe tried to muster up courage. "I can't do that. I settled things with him. There is no need for that." "I am not asking you to do it for yourself," Mario said. "I am asking you to do it for me." Zoe could not understand why he was being this way. It was not like he held a grudge towards Henry or anything. She used to hold a grudge and she was finally letting it go. Mario’s demands were questionable. "What do you want me to do?" she asked. "Since you can't hack into their system, I want you to crash the system servers. If his branch here becomes useless, then he can go back to America where he came from." Mario did not know yet that if Henry leaves for America, she is going along with him and that meant she would not be able to work for Mario anymore. "Why can't y

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Henry's Apology

    It was a bad sign that Henry was getting suspicious about her. If only Maria had not been too forward and ran her mouth like that. The cons of having an overactive five year old. Henry had even went ahead to do a background search on Mario without her knowledge. Him digging a bit deeper might ruin everything. She had to be extra careful now and quit being so distant from Henry. Her actions was what was making him grow suspicious. He surprised her earlier by stating he was trying to make things right between them. It sounded like this was not about Maria anymore. It was about both of them resolving their past issues. He even got flowers for her with Maria. Zoe came out of the shower that night and noticed Henry was not in the room. They had not spoken a word to each other after she walked out on him in the kitchen. Was she being too harsh? Even Emily advised her to give him another chance. Henry and Zoe were going to spend the rest of their lives together, it was only reasonable t

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Zoe's Non-existent Boss

    There was nothing else that could quench Henry’s curiosity other than what he was about to do. Zoe kept giving him reasons to suspect her, and his gut never failed him. There was something about her so called boss she was desperately trying to hide. Henry could tell from her reaction yesterday when he mentioned him. It was either they had an affair, or some other activity Henry was yet to fathom. He called Daniel into his office and Daniel showed up immediately. "There is something you have to do for me," Henry said. "I am all ears." "Zoe has a boss. His identity is unusually unknown. I want you to find out who he is and what he does." "Are you sure about that?" Daniel asked. "If Zoe finds out you are digging into her work life, she is going to be pretty pissed." "Let us worry about Zoe later. Do what you are asked to do." Daniel knew contradicting Henry’s opinions would only cause an issue, so he nodded and left the office. Doing long distance was harder than he thought, and

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Maria The Narrator

    Zoe moved into Henry’s apartment by the end of the week. He was out with Maria when she stopped by the house. Daniel happened not to be home too. She had been instructed to pick up the house key from inside the flower pot just beside the front door. Zoe dragged her luggage inside the empty house, taking a look around. His taste in house decor had not changed over the years. Everything still looked expensive and shiny. She was conflicted on whether she should share a room with Henry or take a separate one. This was just a marriage contract because of Maria, she thought. Zoe did not feel obligated to share a room with him. Making up her mind, she chose a room and settled in it. Maria and Henry were out having father and daughter time, and Zoe could not help but feel a twinge of jealousy no matter how hard she tried to push it away. They were getting closer day by day and she did not want Maria drifting away from her. But then again, they both still had to make up for the five years

  • The Ceo's Billion Dollar Mistress   Antagonistic Zoe

    "He said what?!" Emily exclaimed on the other end of the phone call. Zoe had just told her of Henry’s proposal, and her reaction was understandable. "It sounds crazy, right?" "Crazier than when he asked you to be his mistress? Yes," Emily said. "This is marriage, Zoe. You are going to spend the rest of your life with him. Are you sure you want to do that?" "Do I really have a choice? I want to do it for Maria." Emily sighed deeply. "I understand. But it is all just so surprising. You have been running away from him, and now you are going to marry him. The universe must really want you two together.""This has nothing to do with the universe. That bastard would not just leave me alone." "Did Maria and Henry get along?"Zoe scoffed. They did more than getting along. "I would say she even loves him more than she loves me at this point." "You know that is not true." "Emily, please. I know what I saw." Zoe was not jealous Maria seemed to like Henry a lot, she just did not think Mar
