All Chapters of Hired for the Billionaire's Son : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

DANTEHe was pacing up and down the living room, he had not been this restless since his son's accident. Why did he even listen to her? He should have dropped the call and let her fend for herself in this city. But there was still a part of him that could just not leave his mother stranded, and he wished he could shut down that part or his heart, or at least, mute its voice. When he heard the front door swing open, his heartbeat ceased. Everywhere went quiet and still and all he could hear were her footsteps. He was backing the door and he was dreading the idea of having to turn and look at her face, he doubted that he was ready for the wave of emotions that would come with it. "Do you hate me so much that you now don't even want to look at me?" He heard her voice raw for the first time in years and shivers went down his spine. Despite himself, he admitted that he missed hearing her speak. But the weight of what she had done was greater than the stupid longing he felt.He mustered s

DANTEHe could only sleep a few minutes last night. Having Gloria under his roof did something to keep his brain alert. At intervals, he would go and check up on Elon to make sure that she had not snuck into his room. Knowing her, he was aware that it was not out of her nature to feed the kid lies just to get on his good side and use him for her own greed. Thankfully, Dante knew that, even if she were to try that, his son was smart enough to resist.He was sipping his second cup of coffee at the moment. Given his lack of rest, he needed it. Elon's new nurse was going to arrive at any moment so he was already in the living room waiting. From the report the agency had sent, this nurse was going to be there to tend to Elon, not to administer treatment that would help him walk again, no, but to simply help with his day to day tasks. As far as they were concerned, there was nothing they could do about the kid's condition. That sounded like complete bullshit to Dante; perhaps, it was becaus

GENESISShe really loved the feel of her new room. It was not too big, neither was it too small, just the perfect size for her to be cozy. Dante had given her the liberty to pick a room and she had chosen this one immediately she had stepped food in it. It just felt right. It extended out to a balcony and from there she could look out to the backyard's greenery. She knew right away that that would be her favourite spot in the house.At the moment, she still had a few boxes to unpack, but she was already tired so she decided to take a break and call Sara. But her calls kept going straight to voicemail and she needed nobody to tell her that Sara was out clubbing again. She sighed and ended the call, deciding to go out to the garden instead since she had been indoors for a while.The night air was cold and she regretted not coming out with thicker clothing's; also, she felt too lazy to go back insides to get it. So she sat on one of the benches and depended on the warmth of her palms aga

GENESISLana was still busy with Elon so she excused them and decided to go out for a little walk. Dante's mansion was in a secluded area so she had to walk a few minutes before she started seeing other buildings. Not too far from the estate's entrance, she saw a park and she went in and sat on a bench, watching other people go about their own activities. Seeing kids running around with their parents, families enjoying picnics, and even just people walking their pet reminded her of her life back home. Even though she was still sure that her decision to leave home was for her own best interest, she still missed her family. Underneath the dangerous lifestyle her father and brother lived, they shared a tight bond with the family. But living a life witnessing crime and atrocities was not what she wanted, it was even worse that both her father and brother never even thought of quitting that way of life. And it was so bad that she could rarely leave home, and whenever she did, bodyguards

GENESISShe couldn't even dare to blink, it felt like he was going to be right in front of her the moment she would open her eyes again. Somewhere in her heart, it felt good to see him again, but that did nothing to stop the fear that had taken over her mind. What exactly did he want? Why was he here? Did he come for her? Or he just happened to see her here? All those questions were jammed up in her head and she wished they would just stop, and that he would also disappear. But from the way he was looking at her, and that growing smirk on his lips, it was clear that he was not going to let her slip out of his radar now that he had found her. "Did you hear what I just said?" Fingers snapped before her eyes and she involuntarily blinked. "Huh?" Her eyes focused on Dante that was looking at her with just a slight bit of concern. "You said what?""We're leaving now, it's getting late." He said to her before he put Elon's binoculars in his backpack."Oh..." Genesis sighed and busied her
