Billionaire's Sweetheart 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

Leah's POV:A part of me wants to dare him to see if he will take me like this. Maybe that will convince me that he surely doesn't have any feelings for me and that will pump some sense into me because this love is ugly and I am losing my mind. Slowly I am becoming desperate for his attention and that is making me hate myself. Any normal person should be on terms with this deal by now. I walk to my closet and pick a cute pink skirt that hugs me bringing out my figure perfectly. I match it with a cream-white loose top to balance my body so I don't look too provocative and I surely look great. The one thing I love about myself is my clear skin, hence wearing makeup is not something I usually do but today I feel a bit insecure so I wear a little.Satisfied with my reflection I walk to the main entrance where Xavier should be by now. "Your skirt is too short Leah." His voice comes from behind making me jump. "And too tight. Take it off.""Right here?""I wouldn't mind. The only problem

Xavier's POV I am concerned about Leah and the feelings that have started developing and what is even worse is I have softened toward her. When we tied the note, the plan was so simple; I help her get out of debt and she helps me stabilize my position. Things have gotten more complicated and now we are at war.This is not good. I had a smooth plan and having feelings was not one of them. I choose to be mean to her and I know I am a jerk for it but it's for the best. Am a whole mess with a past that hunts me every day yet to be resolved. Not to mention people who thirst for my power and money. Hence, I decide that I won't drag her and put her in danger for any reason.I chose to go to Kendra's hospital because she can remain confidential. If we go to another hospital we will probably see it in the media and am already at war with the board. I cannot afford any mistakes. Leah was angry with that fact but I didn't bother explaining why I chose this hospital. I hate having to reason wit

Xavier's POV I did the unthinkable. Everyone is in shock. As I stand there as if it's a normal thing to do. I ask Alexa to assemble everyone and she has to look at me before proceeding because the instruction is foreign to her or I have grown an extra head."Yes sir." she hesitates. She must be thinking it's a trick to fire her or something.But I won't repeat myself.A few seconds later everyone stands and nervously wonders why they have been asked to gather. The last time this happened, it wasn't good news that they received and so I understand the tension so I don't even waste time beating about the bush. "Good morning everyone," I begin.Silence."As you all know, I got married a few months ago, but my wife has never set foot in public because we have been preparing her. She is now the new Vice CEO and I want to let everyone know that her word is my word so please make her feel welcome. Let us all work together and make this company greater than it already is. That will be all th

Leah's POV The next morning I feel much better than the day before. I wake up and the first thing I do is take a quick shower. I didn't see Xavier at home yesterday but I bury the thought and I move with only a towel wrapped around me. I already feel bored but then I remember that I carried a workload yesterday, to pass the time I resolve to go through the documents and scrutinize them. I plan on thoroughly reading through them to see what has been going on and to my surprise, all the documents have been cleaned. They match so perfectly is not possible. Calculated risks.Calculated loses.It's like they knew what they would be asked before the question was asked and I immediately understood that this was a load of bullshit. So I call my security team. "Hello.""Good morning Ma'am, how can I help you?""Can you get me all the records for phone calls over the past ten years and also security footage if it is available.""From the last ten years?""Exactly.""Noted Ma'am, I will forw

Leah's POV The next morning, I wake up very early and prepare some breakfast for Xavier. After last night, I don't want the maid to do it and I am very sure that due to the heavy drinking, he will feel very sick and hungry. I quickly put together some toast and strong coffee on a tray and walk to his room. Expecting to find him still asleep, I am shocked to find he has even showered and is wearing some casual shorts and a plain T-shirt making the simplest outfit look extremely hot. "I can see that since we have seen each other naked there is no need to knock ey?" I instantly regret just walking in. "I uhm….didn't want to disturb you. So I wanted to just enter and leave the coffee on the table. I am sorry." Why is he smiling? "I am just kidding, my little vixen. Come sit with me." Huh? After the confession from last time, I had no idea how he would behave but smiling and telling me to sit next to him is a stretch and it feels too good to be true. I am not complaining, I just
