The power of love - A billionaire love story chapter 10
A few months later, Adina found herself immersed in what could only be described as the most serene period of her life. She had embraced the job opportunity that Ruan had been subtly nudging her to consider for several months, and now, she found herself working side by side with him at the front desk of the LGBTQ community center. What made this moment all the more special was the delicate swell of her baby bump, a visible testament to the new life growing within her.For five months, she had relished the relief of not having that overbearing presence of a certain someone breathing down her neck. Ever since Asher had taken it upon himself to sabotage her employment prospects, Adina had faced a seemingly insurmountable wall of rejection every time she applied for a job. It was as though her name alone was a taboo in the eyes of prospective employers.However, the turning point arrived when she mustered the courage to approach the owner of the LGBTQ resources center

Asher strode confidently into the conference room, his determined footsteps echoing in the otherwise hushed environment. His demeanor masked the inner turmoil he couldn't escape, the lingering thoughts of the woman he had just conversed with and the uncanny resemblance she bore to Adina, an enigma from his past that he couldn't help but obsess over.He had been asking himself, perhaps more often than he cared to admit, why he was still seeking traces of Adina. It was as if her presence, or the ghost of her memory, had an unsettling grip on his psyche. Yet, Asher's primary objective at that moment was to expel her memory from his mind. With determination in his heart, he had resolved to drive her out of his life.In pursuit of this objective, he had embarked on a mission to uncover her whereabouts, only to triumphantly discover that the apartment she had shared with her boyfriend had been abandoned for nearly four months. The satisfaction of his small victory was, however, tainted by h

Observing Melissa's graceful exit from the conference room, Adina couldn't help but notice that Asher, a lingering presence, remained behind. The atmosphere was charged with unspoken tension, as the resolute expression on Melissa's face hinted at something amiss. An unsettling thought quietly tiptoed through Adina's mind: "I hope I'm not teetering on the precipice of termination. Finding an alternative job prospect proves to be an elusive pursuit, made even more challenging by Asher's calculated interference."As Melissa drew closer, her demeanor carried an air of gravity, compelling Adina to brace herself for a potentially life-altering conversation. Her inner anxiety whispered, "I hope I'm not on the verge of termination, given how Asher has manipulated the job market."Melissa leaned in, her voice a hushed murmur, and respectfully asked, "Adina, could you come to my office, please?" With a heavy heart, Adina followed her manager, her unease conspicuous. To quell

"I find myself in a dilemma, torn between the desire to decline, yet unable to do so in light of your exceptional kindness that has enveloped me since my initiation within these workplace confines. It is imperative for me to convey my heartfelt gratitude for the remarkable benevolence you have consistently extended to me thus far. The magnitude of your actions may, to some, appear diminutive, but, in essence, you are orchestrating the preservation of lives, a fact that resonates deeply with my own existence, for I am acutely aware that you have, in no uncertain terms, safeguarded my own existence."Adina's voice quivered with emotion as she raised her hands in a sweeping gesture to emphasize the profound significance of Melissa's impact. High above them lay a series of rooms, each furnished with beds, serving as a sanctuary for individuals who sought refuge. An abundant repast perpetually beckoned those in need, and Melissa's support extended beyond nourishment, extending i

In a stunning ensemble that complemented her brand-new haircut flawlessly, Melissa arrived at Max's apartment to pick up Adina, and the grandeur of the occasion was further accentuated by the opulent limousine that awaited them. As Melissa stepped out, her outfit exuded a captivating blend of masculine and feminine aesthetics, a true testament to her unique style. Melissa, adorned in a silk shirt that harmonized beautifully with the color of Adina's dress, descended the stairs with the gallant assistance of Ruan, who couldn't help but admire her radiant appearance.With a tender smile, Melissa complimented Adina, "You look absolutely radiant, Adina."Adina, her eyes alight with genuine admiration, responded, "You're not looking too shabby yourself, Melissa." Inwardly, Adina marveled at Melissa's transformation – a vision of elegance that surpassed even her usual impeccable attire, regardless of its price tag. Melissa's allure was positively resplendent, and Adina c

Asher had made absolutely no provisions to grace the charitable soiree this evening. Not tonight, nor on any other occasion for that matter. He had gracefully cultivated the art of dispatching nothing more than his name and a precisely composed check, indicating his preferred sum of generosity. Instead, he entrusted Max with the responsibility of representing him at these events, the surrogate philanthropist par excellence. This very evening, however, Max was determined to put an end to this convenient arrangement, relentlessly reminding Asher throughout the entire week of his personal availability.Before the evening's drama unfolded, the sun kissed the sky, and the day commenced with an inquisitive query from Asher. "Max, what engagements occupy our schedule today?" he inquired, his fingers delicately flipping through a dossier strewn across his desk. Within that labyrinth of documents lay yet another labyrinth – a contractual agreement in dire need of revision.

Adina found herself in a state of introspection, utterly captivated by the enigmatic Asher, a man whose emotional spectrum was a labyrinth of complexity that had eluded her perception until now. As she retraced the tapestry of her own judgments and the fires of her past indignations, she couldn't help but ponder whether she had unwittingly cast Asher into the role of a heartless and malevolent entity, a cruel misjudgment that, though possessing an element of truth, represented just a sliver of the multifaceted story that yearned to be unearthed. In the dimly lit ambiance that encased them, Adina, with a heart that beat like a solitary drum in the quietude of the night, dared to break the stifling silence, her inquiry delivered with a softness akin to the delicate whisper of the wind through autumn leaves, "Do you, by any chance, find yourself engaging in such conversations frequently?"Asher, bearing an air of nonchalance that masked a deeper enigma, replied, "Tal

Asher's mind was in a whirlwind of emotions and thoughts, a chaotic mess he hadn't anticipated sharing with a complete stranger. Maria, however, proved to be an incredibly approachable conversationalist. As he excused himself from the balcony earlier that evening, he had fully intended to exit the fundraising event, chalk it up as a night, and retreat to the comforts of solitude. Yet, an inexplicable force, a magnetic pull, drew him back. Parked in his car for a solid hour, he wrestled with his decision until the irresistible allure of the woman with his sister convinced him to reenter the venue.Once he retook his seat, his sister, perceptive as ever, whispered, "I thought you left." He chose silence as his response, instead opting to inquire, "Where is Maria?" Confusion initially clouded his sister's countenance, but soon, recognition kindled a spark of understanding in her eyes. She gestured with a thumb toward the balcony and explained, "She's out there. I have to keep

The drive to Asher's penthouse was a brief one. He had always favored this private sanctuary over the opulent mansion, as it was a place where he could retreat and avoid the prying eyes of his family and acquaintances. No other woman had ever been granted access to this space, not even his sister, as he had been steadfast in keeping it reserved for his own solitude.Once Carlos parked at the side of the building, he held the door open as Asher carefully lifted Adina from her seat. She stirred, mumbling unintelligibly and snuggling closer to him. Asher couldn't help but comment with a hint of amusement, "You sleep deeply, don't you?"Navigating the side door that led to his private elevator, Asher maintained his hold on the sleeping Adina. She continued to mumble in her sleep as the elevator carried them to his floor. When they arrived, Asher attempted to manage the door without Carlos' assistance, successfully balancing his slumbering companion in one arm.
