All Chapters of The Billionaire's Hidden Mystery: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

ACADIA“Grrgh grrgh”, my annoying alarm clock went off once again. It had been two weeks and three days, since I sent in my application but got no response. I was already losing hope when my phone buzzed with a new email notification just as I reached the doorstep of my second shift for the day. I pulled out my phone to read the message. The subject line read, "Job Offer from D. M. Corps Ltd." My hands trembled as I opened the email, my eyes scanning the words that held the promise of a brighter future."Dear Ms. Dimitri,We are pleased to offer you the position of Content Writer at D. M. Corps Ltd. We were impressed by your portfolio and believe your skills align perfectly with our company's values and vision.

ACADIAWhen I got to his office, I knocked.“Come in”. He called out. “Take a seat”. He smiled and offered.“Acadia” he began, “Your work has not gone unnoticed and you have been nominated as the best employee of the month. Mr. Dante would be going for an important gala in London and you are to go in place of his secretary with him. You would work hand-in-hand with him. You would be in charge of the contents and would communicate with me on the progress. Do you have any questions?Questions? I had a lot to take in. I couldn’t put a name on how I was feeling. I was happy to be given such a huge responsibility for the little time I had spent there. However, how could I deal with the sudden pull, sweating of palms and anger that felt whenever I laid eyes on Dante. I was certain that he would not be happy about this development. “No, sir. I’m honoured to be given this opportunity. I won’t let you or my team down”“You may leave. Meet my secretary to give you a briefing of your role and

DANTEI knew the new content writer, Acadia, was built differently from the first time I saw her. However, she surpassed expectations in just a short time. Her face looked familiar though, like I had seen her somewhere before. When we collided in the corridor the other day, I felt a strange pull towards her. Her blue ocean-like eyes were mesmerising, I couldn't look away. It was strange and so I did what I thought was right. I walked away without saying a word. Didn’t want to give her any wrong ideas. Shutting my office door, I felt strangely hot even though the air conditioning was on. What was happening to me? I never fell sick, my dietician made sure of it. Since that day, I have watched her every move and tracked her progress. She stood out everywhere she went and in all she did. I wasn’t surprised when she was nominated as the best employee of the month. A very important gala was coming up and my secretary has been the one to come with me for events like this. However, I had th

DANTEIt was a struggle to control myself from snapping at anyone who looked at Acadia in a lustful way, the man she was with seemed like he held a very strong relationship with her. My initial background check of her showed no romantic relation with anyone but this guy looked at her as more than friends, finding the slightest chance to touch her. It annoyed me more that she let him do it. I almost let out the dilemma I was in when someone from the team proceeded to kiss her on the knuckles. I instantly found an excuse to take her from there. Still figuring out what to do with this obvious attraction towards her. Someone called out my name.“Dante” ignoring the prefix in my name. Only a few people were allowed to do that and get away with it. I turned and met with Sebastian. I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. I have not seen him for a month. We’ve been inseparable since our younger days, sharing countless adventures and secrets. Now seeing him brought a wave of nostalgia to wash ov

“Hello?I managed to say out of breath. I was still in a daze from a moment ago. I almost kissed Dante? Or maybe he almost kissed me. It didn’t matter anyway because he had dashed out when my phone rang.“Acadia!” Sebastian called out in a worried tone. “What happened last night? I looked everywhere for you but could not find you. It did not help when you were not taking my calls. Are you alright? He rushed out.“It’s a long story Seb, one that can not be talked about over the phone.”“Is everything alright? Do you mind talking over a cup of coffee?"I don't think that's a good idea," I replied to Sebastian's invitation, my voice still shaky. The memory of last night's events was too fresh, too raw. Plus, after what almost happened with Dante moments ago, I needed time to process my thoughts."Come on, you can't stay cooped up in your room forever," Sebastian pressed, his voice carrying that signature playful tone that somehow made everything seem lighter. "Plus, I got intel that they
