The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER ONE
Today marked the three month anniversary from the date when I slowly started to revealed myself to my company. Although I had been running my company for over four years now, none of my employees- apart from my secretory Joseph, the council and my team of bodyguards knew who I was. At first I did not know why my parents would keep me hidden, and it was written in their will that my identity was to be revealed to the public at my eighteenth birthday. But looking back these couple of months, I knew why they did that. It was utterly stupid on my behalf to start showing my face to my employees from my seventeenth birthday. I had taken into account of the advice from my council as these were my most trustworthy men - some of whom are at least thrice my age. I did not expect it to lead to this problem that I was currently facing. However that did not deter my respect for them in any shape or form. They were trusted by my parents, and hence myself. I sighed as I looked out from the windo
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER TWO
Once I walked out of the meeting, I immediately made my way to my private elevator with Joseph on one side and Robert on the other. Joseph pressed the ground floor button and the elevator started to descend. I glanced down to my watch on my left hand and find that it's approximately eleven am in the morning. When I came in for the meeting earlier not many people were here because my business hours started at nine am for all employees. Only the essential people started earlier than usual. Now I knew it would be full of workers. Once the elevator door opened, I walked out my heels clicking the smooth marble floor capturing the attention of my employees. Robert walked a step behind me to my right and Jason was my left next to me. I noticed the whispers starting in Italian as people began to notice me. "Oh my, It's Miss Kingston!". "That's Miss Kingston?! She's so young?". "What is she doing at headquarters?". "She's beautiful". I paid no attention to their comments, as the w
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER THREE
If someone had told me three months ago that I would have to leave London for my safety - I would have laughed. I was running away like a coward with my tail between my legs, instead of solving my problems. I didn't what was more insulting, the fact that I was the richest person in the world and couldn't solve a dispute. Or the fact that I was going to be attending High school in America when I have already graduated High school and have a Business and Computer science PhD. Looking at the preppy building in front of me, I could only hope that this will be enough to keep me safe until the threat subsided. I looked towards my left where Robert was driving toward the front entrance of the prestigious Lakeview Academy- my home for the next nine months. I sighed as I faced the front again taking into the vast fields that spanned the property, a football game that was in progress and the crowd going wild. "I don't understand why I have to attend High school when I have already learnt e
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER FOUR
Looking down at my uniform, I could only be glad that there were no restrictions in the choice of our footwear. I was not prepared to wear heels on a daily basis, and would be much more comfortable in my boots. As long as they fit with the school code, it was acceptable. This was the only highlight of my morning, as I woke up late and proceeded to stump my pinkie toe on the bathroom door whilst trying to hurry. "Let's go, you have your first lesson with me", I turned my head towards Lena who was waiting for me to finish my breakfast. "What do we have first?", How this girl knew my schedule was beyond me, but then I saw her waving my schedule paper in front of my face. "AP Calculus". She smiled with twinkling eyes. She must be a fucking psychopath. Who liked calculus? We made our way toward the first period, Lena had her arm looped around mine and Tyler with his arm around my shoulder. Max and Harper separated from us in the opposite direction toward their first lessons after co
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER FIVE
When I joined this elite school two days ago, my plan was to stay low under radar, until Robert found out who was threatening me so we can deal with the problem. Now looking at my business class which has all of my group and the Royal elites, I could only smell disaster. "Settle down children, today we have a new student". I waited by his desk as the class quietens down and rests their eyes on me. "Introduce yourself child", Mr Smith says softly. He was in his late thirty to early forties and by the permanent laughter lines on his face, anyone could tell he was a happy soul. I turn to address the class in front of me and speak monotonously. "Avalon Gracia" "Uh- do you want to add to that?", Mr Smith asked hesitantly. "I'm seventeen". He sighs. There were different expressions that rose through the class and one kid opened his mouth. "I just googled 'sexy' and a picture of you came up", he winks at me with a smirk whilst his friends whoop in the background. I wait for the
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER SIX
It was Friday today and that meant the weekend was right around the corner. I had already made plans to visit Levi at the new house that I had bought for him and Robert to stay in. I hoped that he liked his new school that he was attending. I was sorting out through my locker looking for my Chemistry books before I headed off to my next lesson. The halls were packed and teenagers were pushing each other to get to their next classes on time. I finally find my books and hold them with one hand whilst trying to close my locker door with the other. Someone from behind closes it for me. I rotate on the balls of my feet to find a guy standing there. He was a 6'0 redhead with green eyes. "Hey" "Hi", I greet him. "My name is James Rafael", I nod once. He looks around awkwardly before finding my eyes again. "So uhh, I was wondering if you could attend my party tonight?" "You want me to attend your party?", I was quite surprised to say the least. He only just met me and wanted me to

The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER THIRTY
Elijah's POV When we reached the warehouse it was too quiet. Robert and the others quickly assessed the situation and surrounded the area. All of us went inside to find both Ava and Levi. It was only a matter of few minutes before we found her brother curled up in a corner of a cold room with a big gash on his left arm and tears running down his face. He flinched as I put my hand on his shoulder but raised his little head to look at me. Recognition passed through his eyes as he jumped into my arms tightly wrapping his arms around my neck whimpering. I passed him to Max and Ian who took him out per Roberts orders and back to the house to get him treated. He was too young for this. The rest of us quietly and quickly searched the other rooms for signs of Ava and found voices behind the massive double doors. Robert signed all of us to raise our weapons as we didn't know what was going on behind the doors but what we found was something unexpected. A bullet went through Avalon as we op
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
It took nearly half an hour before I reached the destination. I knew what I was doing was stupid, but I didn't have enough time to think logically when my little brother was in danger. When I had received the call from the unknown number, I knew it could only be Kane. He finally called after months for the first time to only make demands. The man wanted me to arrive alone at a given location within the hour, or otherwise Levi would be dead. I knew enough of Kane, to know that his threats were serious. However, I couldn't go alone without giving some sort of indication to Robert as to where I was, so I wrote down the address on a piece of paper before escaping. Now looking at the location, it looked to be an abandoned warehouse. There were holes in the walls, broken bricks scattered along the floor and not a soul in sight. I took a deep breath and stepped out of my car, making my way towards the entrance. The inside seemed to be even more filthy with dust accumulating around all corn
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
Elijah's POVFinding out that the girl you love had been lying to your face for over six months was not a good feeling. The betrayal and pain was all I could feel at that moment in time. I had been doubting myself for the past two weeks - questioning myself if I was worthy of her, that I had gotten so angry when the truth came into the light. The trust that we had was broken, like someone had shattered a porcelain glass on the floor. I was mad at her. Really fucking mad. But I wasn't going to walk out without an explanation, or rashly act out in anger. If I knew at least one percent of Avalon, she would have a reason. However when she told us why she was really here and what had been happening, I felt anger and frustration. Anger at myself for not realising what had been happening because I knew something had been bothering her. Frustration at her because she didn't want to talk to me because she thought it would put us in danger. I wasn't really mad at her anymore. She had done wha
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
I had pushed everyone away in these past two weeks. I could tell that they were worried at first, but as the second week pushed through- they wanted to know what was wrong. They all became irritated with my behaviour as I was constantly disappearing and always on my phone. Aspen barged into my room with Harper and Lena demanding to know what was wrong. Aspen thought that I was cheating on Elijah with Maxim. I could understand her concern because the timing was too convenient. I would never cheat on anyone. I knew what I felt for Elijah was more than just liking him. My mind knew that, and so did my heart. I just didn't know if what I felt for him was love. What I did know was that I wanted to stay this way forever. Being around Elijah Easton felt like home. It had been so long that I felt something as closely remote to this- I was stuck. Our worlds that resembled parallel lines suddenly intersected and any uniform balance that I had was thrown out the window. Everyday with him was
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
Elijah's POVIt had been a two weeks since the charity ball and everyone had noticed the change in Avalon. At first I just thought that maybe I was imagining things, or maybe she was at that time of month - but I knew that it wasn't just me who noticed these changes. It was as if I was back to square one.She had been pushing us all away, her blank emotionless eyes back and no emotion to show. I had thought that maybe if I gave her a bit of space, she'd come to me but I was so wrong. I don't know what to do. I had called my mom endless amounts of times, to ask her for advice but she just kept on saying to trust her and stay with her. I had thought that maybe I did something wrong, but I couldn't think of anything. She sat with us like she normally does but now always on her phone like when she first had started. My mood dropped every time she answered a phone call, always speaking in French or Russian. I was frustrated - jealous even. Why does she want to talk to them and not with me
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
The charity gala had begun two hours ago. We had been served dinner shortly after the welcome speech and as previously mentioned, the auction started an hour ago. The whole auction was a cover-up. People didn't want the items that were auctioned, they wanted to show their authority. It was a game of 'who has the most money'. It was so that other companies would notice theirs and maybe an opportunity for connections. During dinner, Elijah's parents joined us at our table. I had thought the others would sit and eat with us, but one look from William Easton was sufficient for our friends to run with their plates to another table. They did look guilty and slightly apologetic, but what for I don't know. We all ate in silence after introductions, but I could tell that William was observing me secretly. He was evaluating me. It wasn't until our main course had been bought, he decided to ask questions. The questions started off simple, like how did you get into school and what are your plan
The Hidden Billionaire CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
The rest of the week flew by quickly, and it had been four days since I was attacked. I had called Robert immediately and had informed him of what happened. He was on high alert, and had increased the security that was surrounding the house with Levi. He had wanted me to pull out of the academy, but I couldn't because questions would rise at my abrupt disappearance. So he assigned three members from his team to follow me discreetly. The bruise on my waist hurted really bad on the first day and I had been limping slightly. Elijah noticed and asked me what was wrong, but I shrugged him off telling him it was nothing. However I could see the concern and worry in his eyes. Though now it had been four days, the bruise was nearly gone and there was only slight pain. "Are you nervous?", Elijah brought me closer to him and kissed my temple. "No", I sighed into shoulder my mind preoccupied. Joseph had called earlier today, arranging to meet me so that I could approve of the contract that w
