All Chapters of The Billionaire's Mistress: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

When Howard left the office, Nicholas and I were staring at each other. There's an awkward silence surrounding the whole place because of that. I held the folder while standing in front of him. He gave me a cold expression and asked, "Why are you here?" I put down the folder on his table and looked at him. "Bringing you back this thing. I don't need that," I replied. He smiled in disbelief after what I told him. He opened the folder and saw the cheque attached to it. "I think giving me the last money for the company would be enough to tell me that all these things between us are done. There's no need to humiliate me by giving me more money to end our personal agendas. If you really want to end it, I won't force you to continue it! But, you don't have to give me money because I personally chose that path, and no one forced me to do it. So, I'm giving that money back because I don't need that in the first place," I said while sincerely looking at him. Nicholas gave me a blank expres

Just like what Nicholas asked of me, he disappeared. He cut the connection from me and lived his own life. He never provided anything for Vienna Cosmetics, my company, just like what he told me. In short, there's no sign of him anywhere. Being left behind by him, I focused myself trying my best to make my business well-known to people. I introduced new and unique products which made other people curious about it. The customers continued visiting my shop and bought some of my products to test. I even spent my time uploading videos about the important happenings in my life, and I made a good result from it. I gained more followers from social media which was better than before. Even some artists chose to follow me and give comments. I'm happy because people started to recognize me. After all, my products and my vlogs met their expectations. I even got interviews and was a guest on TV shows in just three months of being trending online. In short, I got accepted by people without knowing

As soon as Nicholas said those words, I felt how serious he is that moment. I couldn't forget how he looked at me, I could feel his determination to pull down the career of the Mendozas, the people behind every hardship we had in our past. Now, I'm very convinced that he has changed a lot even though his treatment of me went back to the old way. I didn't see any sign of hesitation from his aura and the words he told me. If that's what he wanted us to be, I should also agree with that. Besides, we agreed that once we meet again, everything will change. All the feelings we had for each other should be gone already so that we could continue our plans. We spent the rest of the moment talking about other things. We avoided those topics that could lead us to reminisce about what just happened to us in the past. Honestly, he's the only one wanting to avoid talking about our feelings, but as for me, I wanted to deal with what happened since our story at that time was open-ended. We just agre

TESSA'S P.O.V.William and I went to the social gathering just like what was written in the invitation we received on the first day of this week. Earlier this week, William and I argued about this event. As far as I could remember, the last time we attended that event was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life being with him. I felt less important to him because he didn't even care that Hudson was belittling me at that time. He just let Hudson win the auction. I expected him to buy that necklace for me. But, he didn't care. I even received many degrading comments from him which made me look pathetic. Look how he treats me. He's making me feel that I'm less important to him. People might think that I'm the happiest person in the world just because I am the wife of a popular billionaire. I could have anything I want, and anything I would ask of him. He could give me those in an instant if he wanted to. But, it's his attention I wanted the most. So, when we received the invitati

WILLIAM'S P.O.V.After having face-to-face talks with my in-laws, I felt degraded because of all the things they told me. They looked down on me like a rat and even told me the things that happened in the past. I knew they contributed a big portion of their shares to my family's company just because my father begged them to do it. That time, I will soon be the heir and next CEO of my family's company. My parents tried their best to make the company work and gain income but since there was an unexpected deflation in the market, some companies went bankrupt and chose to stop the operation. Our company's one of them. And because of that, my parents had no other choice but to ask for help from my father's friends. Out of the many friends he has, only two people helped him to survive his company. Indeed, you can only be treated as a friend if they could get something from you in return, and not all the people surrounding you would be treated as true friends. These two men were behind my fa
