All Chapters of Changing Mr. Billionaire: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

My eyes fluttered open and my lips slightly curved into a smile when I saw Laura lying on her side facing me. She used her arm as a pillow, while some strands of her hair fell across her face. It took a lot of restraining to not cross over the pillows and push those strands of hair from her face. A scowl crept to my face as I remembered how rude I was to her yesterday. I made her cry. Hearing her sniff and cry silently on the bed broke me. I am cold-hearted, not heartless, I know what pain feels like and I inflicted emotional pain on her yesterday. There was nothing wrong with the way she was dressed, I just reacted to my emotions. My rudeness was a way of hiding how I felt at that moment. I sauntered out of the bed towards the bathroom to do my morning routine of cleaning up. I didn't spend much time in the shower so I had to have plenty of time to choose the perfect outfits for the meeting. It's quite funny I am trying to dress to impress an old man all because I am obsessed with h

It's been a week since I and Zion arrived in Paris and four days since our last fight. I'm sure he planned to make me hate him enough to end this relationship and it worked. I hate his ass. We've been mute with each other in the last four days and I'm grateful for the silence. At least no critics and hurtful words. Thankfully for the phone, he got me, I've been able to talk with my mom, Anne, and Nana. My mom only asked about my welfar, unlike Anne and Nana who demanded everything in detail. I gave them all the gist, omitting the two fights I had with Zion only because Nana wouldn't let it slide. She'll blow up Zion's phone with calls and I don't want any of that. Nana wasn't impressed with the outcome of her plan, she complained about we not bonding and all. I'm comfortable with the peace of no conversation between us and I don't care if the staff notices the vibes between us or if we aren't bonding or not. I am done or so I tell myselfThe last few days have been a blast, Andre is

"I'm disappointed in you Laura, thought you and Zion would have become inseparable by now. Left to me? I would have claimed him, his body and soul in a week" Anne's voice comes out of the phoneI rolled my eyes and scoffed "Please tell me why you're still single then"She gasps and glares at me through the phone "Do you have to poke my wound? I will let you know, I have lots of men hanging around just to claim me""Yeah, while you're in my room and on my bed munching on crisps" I muttered as I wrapped the towel around my head"I decided to stay single until my prince came sweeping me off my feet. Men are scum" she muttered the last part"Just like Jayden right," I said teasing herShe stopped her loud munching to glare at me "Jayden wasn't a scum. He..he was a boy. He didn't do anything wrong" she defended"Yet you hit the poor boy with a Cornbread""It was that tiny little bit**h's fault. Whatever Lau

"Your company's vision aligns with what I believe in. I'm genuinely interested in acquiring Wonderland Toys""That's fantastic to hear. It's not always about profit but about sharing happiness. I'm sure you now understand the essence of what we do" he said mockinglyI mentally roll my eyes at that but nod instead, already getting boredCan he just bring out the contract so I can signThe conversation went on but I couldn't stop my mind from wandering back to Laura. It was as if the statement she made this morning opened my eyes to see something that had been hidden for years. Something I had failed to see. I wasn't angry, I was just astounded. No one has ever said that to me, not even Nana. She's very careful of even mentioning her son's name around me. Now, it made me realize how selfish I had been to myself and everyone around meAll these years I had wallowed in self-pity of losing my parent and sister. It wasn't even my fault, why do I have to live the rest of my life in a prison

"Wow, this is lit" I whispered to Andre as my eyes roamed the beautiful hallThe air buzzed with excitement, and the hall was adorned in hues of gold and blush pink, the walls dripped in cascading fairy lights, and crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling casting a soft, warm glow over the room.The scent of fresh flowers and baked pastries filled the room and tables covered in delicate lace were arranged meticulously in the hall. The stage, bathed in a soft spotlight, showcased an exquisite backdrop of white roses and drapes, perfect for couples."Your cousin has beautiful taste," I said as we walked further into the hall, side by side"Trust me, I was blown away too. My cousin wanted it to be perfect. She designed all the decor and setting herself" he said pulling me further into the room"Wow, that explains it. This is perfect" I whispered. As I took in the scene, I couldn't help but be captivated by the intricate details — so beauti
