All Chapters of Madam Billionaire: Please, Don't Break My Heart: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Elena was ready for bed when her phone chimed, and she reluctantly dragged herself to see whose ass was on fire so late at night. Her eyes widened, and she silently stared when Simon’s name flashed on the screen.A month of not seeing him—at least not for longer than a minute or two—and there she was, suddenly anxious and so damn nervous for her own good. ‘What does he want now?’ she thought, nibbling on her bottom lip, her heart pounding in her chest as if ready to break through.She sighed, not sure what to do. But before the call disconnected, she rushed to answer, cursing herself almost instantly when his deep voice grazed her ear.“And here I thought you were planning to ignore me,” he said, and Elena couldn’t describe the way something stung at the back of her eyes.She didn’t even know why she was being so emotional; it wasn’t as if she missed him or something. Right?She shook her head and sat down on the edge of the bed, fiddling with the hem of her nightdress. “We talked abo

“Oh, it’s real, alright,” he said from behind, his lips spread in a knowing smirk. He joined her at her side and looked at the painting that was made more than a thousand years ago, and she couldn’t believe it was now in his possession.She turned to look at him, her eyes wide. “Where did you find this? How?”He chuckled. “That’s not the only one,” and just as he said that, Elena looked over her shoulder and realized he was right. This place wasn’t just one huge museum, it was a whole art collection.Her breath left her body and she just stood there, trying to wrap her head around the fact that Simon had his own private museum. A museum.She shook her head in disbelief, “I can’t believe you own all of this. This is… I have no words.” Then, her eyes fell on the most beautiful vase, a rare piece that was so old no one was sure of its exact date of origin. “Is this what you wanted me to see? I thought it was something… else,” she had a vague idea of what she had thought this night would b

“Dance with me?” he asked.They had just finished their meals. The dinner had been amazing.The cake had been even better.Now, the night was coming to an end. The stars were shining brightly in the sky and the moon looked bigger than it usually did. The pool was shimmering as the wind blew over it, and everything about the night looked so peaceful and so romantic that it was hard not to give in.She watched Simon rise from his seat and hold his hand out to her. Elena had no doubt about how beautiful he was in the moonlight.She had always thought of him as the most handsome man she had ever met, but in the dark, his eyes glimmering with so many things she had only ever dreamt of, and the way the wind blew his hair away from his face… there was a sudden vulnerability that made him look almost real.She had already decided that today was his day and she wasn’t going to deny him anything.She placed her hand in his and let him lead her to the pool side.The soft music was now replaced wi

Josh wanted to have faith in his sister, but these days, having faith in literally anything wasn’t his strongest suit.For now, however, he was going to let her be.Clearly, there were more important matters to attend to until his sister would actually need his help. Until then, he was going to keep an eye on her and Simon, and watch them from afar.He nodded at her. “Alright. Go now, have some rest. It’s dawn already.”Elena’s smile widened, and she rushed to give him a tight hug. “Thanks for understanding.”“Of course.”She rose on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. “And just you know, I’m glad that you’re here, and we are having this conversation. It’s…I’m never going to take these moments for granted.”He could see tears shimmering in the corners of her eyes, but she quickly shoved them clean with the base of her palm. “Alright then, good night. And please, try to get some sleep too.”He gave her a nod. “I will.”And then she was rushing upstairs to her room, never turning back.———

By the time Josh made it home, it was almost midnight.The whole house was quiet and the only people up so late was either the butler or a few maids, waiting to serve him.The butler, however, was quick to give the rundown of the entire day. “Little master slept soon after dinner, sir. He seemed tired after the eventful day at school. Madam Elena called a few hours ago to say that the shoot will probably end by dawn.”Josh hummed. “So, it’s just you and me then?”The butler didn’t know what to say to that, but he nodded anyway. “I suppose, sir.”Josh shook his head, taking off his suit jacket and handing it to the old man.“The dinner will be served whenever you’re ready, sir.”Josh sighed, loosening his tie. “No need for that. I don’t feel hungry. You said Caleb slept already?”“Yes, sir. Quiet early.”“I’ll check up on him and then head to my room.”“As you say, sir.”True to his words, Josh quietly made his way to Caleb’s room. As Butler had already warned him, the little boy was al
