Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 41: Reveal . Isabella’s world comes crashing down on her during lunch break. After she was done with her work at the unit, she heads straight to the cafeteria with two fellow colleagues that she sometimes talks to. They’re queuing up at the serving counter, talking about the lecture, when a tall guy standing in line behind Isabella taps on her on the shoulder. “Are you the ceo’s son plaything? Mr Archibald?.” Mouth dropping open, Isabella stares at him for a second; what the hell? “I… No, I– why would you think that I’m–” The words die in her throat when the guy holds up his phone. “This sure looks like you, though.” When he turns the screen around, Isabella winces so terribly she almost drops her tray. There’s a photo of Archibald and her sitting in the Tesla, underneath the headline, ‘EXCLUSIVE: Billionaire Heir Archibald Bancroft dining out with a college-aged boy toy!’ Panic surges through her from head to toe and

Penny for thoughts

Ditch the Ex. Date the Billionaire . Chapter 42: Penny for thoughts . Archibald sighs as Warren leaves through the door to go help Isabella. He runs his hands through his hair feeling more nervous than before. He didn’t expect this at all. Of course, he knew that eventually the bloggers would try to dig up everything about him but not this soon. His plan was that after he had introduced Isabella to everyone at that dinner party then maybe he’ll pop up with a surprise engagement party just before his nephew does and then that was it. It was just an engagement that he and Isabella needed to seal his father’s trust and push Alan away. And now it’s looking like it’s not going to happen. But not on Archibald’s watch. “A penny for your thoughts?.” Lisa said quietly, her voice prompting him out of his thinking. Archibald glanced at the papers she had in her hands. “Are you done already?.” She didn’t say anything, just added another stack of papers and began writing

A dinner between families

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 43: a dinner between families .“You are just jealous.” Lisa paused for a moment before scoffing at what Archie said like it was absurd. “Jealous? Me? Jealous? Are you serious?.” “I mean, yeah. I already made it clear that day that I didn’t like you back the way you wanted to go, Lisa. And since then you’ve been giving me a cold shoulder, you just stopped talking to me.”“That doesn’t mean I’m jealous of you and Isabella, you dufus. I am a lawyer, a barrister, I should be out there at work now but I’m here because of you, to support my friend.” She said holding up the papers that were now looking too much to be a marriage contract. “I am here because of you and yet you have the nerve to call me jealous.” Archibald sighed. “I’m sorry for my words. I was being stupid. Please continue helping me.”“I know you are been sarcastic with that apology.” Lisa noticed before eyeing him. “But I’ll help you nonetheless.” “Great!.” He said a

Hurt

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 44: hurt . This little shit. Alan expected a lot of things when he got home, but he didn’t expect to find Isabella chilling on the couch as if she was living here, wrapped in Alan’s Hermes blanket and bragging about her stupid life with her hot, rich sugar-daddy. Isabella flinches terribly when she turns her head. “H-How long have you been standing there?” She quickly swipes over her screen, probably to end the video call. Snorting like an angry bull, Alan walks up to her. “Long enough to hear that you and dad besmirched my six thousand dollar blanket. What are you even doing here?” Isabella gulps and averts her gaze. “I… Warren said that Archie said I could wait for him until he gets home. Have you… have you seen the article?” It is only then that Alan remembers that he wanted to show empathy next time he saw Isabella, to lure her into a false sense of security. Trying to swallow down his anger, he takes a few calm bre

Birthright

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 45: Birthright . Alan stormed out of the room, frustration burning through him like a wildfire. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. His uncle, Archibald was becoming a pain in his neck, bringing his girlfriend—Isabella—to their family house without a word to anyone. It felt like a betrayal, a breach of trust.He couldn’t even think of Isabella and his uncle’s relationship as a real one. Because it couldn’t be! He retreated to the other living room where his mother, Jeanette, and his sister, Aileen, were seated at the table. Aileen seemed to be in a good mood which was rare considering how cold she acted most of the time. Their faces brightened upon seeing Alan, but their smiles faltered as they noticed his troubled expression. "Alan, what's wrong?" Jeanette asked, concern etching lines on her forehead. Alan sank into an armchair, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "Mom, Aileen," he began, his voi

Lucky girl

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 46: lucky girl . “So… you think it’s better if we publish a statement?” Isabella asks, curling her fingers against the soft fabric of Archibald’s shirt. Archibald spent the last half hour telling her about his conversation with his lawyer and his publicist. “Either that or we’ll just ignore it for now, and hope that the buzz will die down. From my past experience with Iris, I doubt they’ll leave us alone any time soon, though.” Isabella shivers. They've never spoken about any of his ex girlfriends before, but she has seen enough articles and photos of them to know how interested the public were in their relationship. “But Iris was the first person you ever dated after you left the company, and he’s… a world-famous model. I’m just a young adult.” “One young enough to be my daughter,” Archibald adds gloomily. “Don’t forget that some people feed on drama; the more scandalous, the better.” Even though Isabella knows it’s naiv

You for you

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 47: you for you .“We’ll do just fine.” Archibald muttered holding Isabella close as he kisses her forehead again. He never accounted for all of this. His own goal had just to humble Alan and maybe help Isabella get her revenge. But now things are going sideways and it was very obvious that he had fallen in love with her. He and Isabella never talked about the relationship being fake anymore. It seemed like she was went along with it too. And Archibald didn’t mind, he didn’t mind this life. Perhaps it was the best that they had crossed paths at that club that day and he had defended her. “Uncle Archie?.” He was pulled out from his thoughts by Aileen standing by the couch. “Aileen, do you need anything?.” He asked worried, she never approached until something was wrong.“Oh no.” She shook her head. “It’s grand father, he wants to speak to you. He’s in the study room.” She said delivering the message.“Oh.” He looked down at Isab

One night stand

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 48: one night stand . “Hey.” Alan jumped when a drink was placed in front of him, diverting his attention from the stage to his best friend as he slid into his seat opposite Alan at the table. “The wait was crazy,” John apologized, lifting his drink to clink it with Alan’s glass before swallowing a large mouthful, grimacing at the strong flavor. “Why do you drink when you know you don’t like it?” Alan laughed, swallowing a mouthful of his own drink. “Because” John wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. “I’m gonna need courage if I’m gonna talk to that hot new girl.” “Ah, you’re finally gonna do it, huh?” Alan teased. “Is she even here tonight?” He asked, turning his attention back to his friend. “Of course, she is,” John scrunched up his nose in confusion. “She’s right there,” he pointed to the stage. Alan followed the direction of his finger to the singer who was now moving fluidly across the stage, her hips rolling s

Runaway

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 49: Runaway . Hazel wasn’t even sure how they got back to her place, tiptoeing quietly through the dorm after removing their shoes, stifling giggles behind their hands as they made their way to her bedroom. Thankfully, her roommate was out, and as soon as the door was closed, Hazel found herself pressed up against it, Alan reaching for her thighs to easily lift her, wrapping Hazel’s legs around his waist as he carried her the short distance to his bed, dropping her unceremoniously amongst the crumpled sheets. Hazel licked her lips as Alan pulled his shirt over his head as he crawled onto the bed between Hazel’s legs, pulling her up to kiss her again. His hands moved to the hem of Hazel’s shirt, and he broke the kiss for Hazel to lift her arms, allowing the shirt to join Alan’s on the floor. She gasped as Alan gently bit down on the tender space between her neck and shoulder, lips following the natural contour of her body u

exes turned besties

Ditch the Ex, Date the Billionaire . Chapter 50: exes turned besties . Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse twelve hours later. Isabella and Archibald have barely sat down to have breakfast when Archibald’s phone rings. “It’s my publicist,” he groans. Flashing Isabella an apologetical look, he picks up. “Jane?” Isabella can’t hear what she says, but judging by Archibald’s shocked expression, it can’t be anything good. “Fuck,” he curses a few moments later. “For real?” Isabella’s heart clenches when Archibald looks at her full of worry. “These fucking assholes… Okay, we– No, we don’t want to make a statement… Hm… okay, sure. See you later.” “What happened?” Isabella croaks as soon as Archibald has ended the call. She’s breathing heavily when Archibald gently takes his hands in his own. “Someone… leaked quite a bit of information about you to the papers,” He says gravely. “I’m sorry, baby.” “W-What information?” Archibald sighs deeply. “Your full name, your age, wh
