All Chapters of Escape from the Billionaire CEO: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

In the presidential suite, Dante struggled to breathe, lying sprawled on the bed, his face flushed."I won’t let this go."Dante managed to sit up and called for his assistant to come to his room. Having just staggered from the bathroom, he turned off the lights and lay back on the bed, drenched in sweat. He needed a woman to help him with this issue.Dante had tried to avoid the partner’s daughter to avoid falling into his trap, opting for a different room.Dante felt a burning heat all over his body and was extremely uncomfortable. He was wrapped only in a bath towel, thinking there was no one else in the room.Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the door to the room burst open. A beautiful figure staggered into the room—Lani, drunk and unsteady, entered and instinctively locked the door behind her.Lani slowly removed her coat, revealing her bare, creamy shoulders. Underneath, she wore only a light, sheer dress. She lay down on the bed, her body feeling hot and restless. Noticing

Lani returned to her hotel, quickly showered, changed clothes, and packed up to head back to the United States immediately. Her presence in France had once been for a reason, but now that reason no longer existed. She recalled the events of the previous night.In a hotel room, a man and a woman were entwined in each other’s arms, the atmosphere growing increasingly heated. They were entirely oblivious to their surroundings, while Lani stood at the doorway, her hands trembling.The sounds coming from the room were unbearable, making it hard for Lani to believe what was happening. She struggled to keep calm, her hands trembling and weak. Taking a deep breath, she pushed the door open.Crash... the sound of objects falling echoed in the room.Lani stood frozen in place, her handbag slipping off her shoulder, scattering its contents across the floor. She could hardly believe what she was seeing—her boyfriend of five years was betraying her, and the woman tangled up with him in bed was non

Lani dragged her worn-out suitcase along the gravel path, her aching legs threatening to give way with every step. This was the third time this year she had to move houses, all because of her father, Mr. John, who had once again gotten involved in massive debts and mysteriously disappeared. Each time it happened, the weight on Lani’s shoulders grew heavier. She didn’t blame him, but she hated how cruel life could be.The house finally disappeared behind her—a place that, just hours ago, had been her shelter but was now somewhere she dared not return to. The thugs were undoubtedly still hunting her. Tears streamed down her face as Lani picked up her phone to call the only person she thought could help her—Maya.Maya’s panicked voice echoed in Lani’s ear: “Lani, what’s going on?”Lani tried to keep her voice steady, but the tremor in her tone betrayed her fear and despair: “Maya... I have nowhere else to go. I... I’m hurt. Can you help me?”“I’m staying at a rented apartment near this

Someone she never thought she would have to turn to for help. But when there was no way out, she realized that nothing mattered anymore, not even her self-respect.Maya sat next to Lani, clearly feeling the tension that filled the air. Lani’s best friend had been constantly reassuring her, but Maya herself didn’t have any viable plan to offer. The two of them sat in silence, only the sound of Lani's heavy breathing filling the dark night.“What are you thinking?” Maya asked softly, not daring to look Lani in the eyes. She knew that all her help was now meaningless. Maya had no money, and she had no influence to fight the thugs.Lani looked up, her eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep and worry. “I... I have to call him, Maya. I have no other choice.”Maya couldn’t help but frown. “Him? Who are you talking about?”Lani gripped the phone tightly in her hand. “Dante.”...Dante sat in his vast office, the dim light from the crystal chandeliers casting shadows on the polished black wood desk
