All Chapters of Mr Billionaire’s Escort: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elsida’s mood managed to plummet and remained so from the early hours of the morning when she received the photo till they got to London.Luckily for her, Julien was distracted enough and had to make a stop at the office so it was just her and Cressida who didn’t seem to mind her silence as she chatted away, At least that’s what she chose to believe.Who could have possibly taken that photo of her at such early hours of the morning?“Elsida dear you’ve been quiet, is something bothering you,?” Cressida asked.Elsida focused her gaze on her and plastered what she hoped was a small smile on her lips, “Oh I’m fine Cressy, I just didn’t get enough sleep last night.”“Hmm I’ll brew you some of my Arabian tea later and you’ll be off like a baby in no time,” Cressida said, giving her a reassuring smile.“Thank you so much,” Elsida murmured absentmindedly as her mind drifted back to the cause of her unease.“Elsida darling, it's so good to see you,” Anne said excitedly after she shared a lon

The next few days went by in a blur for Elsida, Julien kept his distance but returned to being his ever flippant self and Elsida took the hint.He had said very few words to her in the past few days and spent most of his time in a different room, it was as though he had studied her every move to make sure their paths hardly crossed and by the time she woke up at mornings, she only caught wisps of his sandalwood scent that let her know he had been in the room.Elsida started to spend most of her time with Cressida and Anne, if they weren’t having brunch or visiting one museum or the other they’d hop from one luxurious store or the other.That was their routine until two days ago when Cressida suggested that Elsida should pay a visit to her art gallery.Since then, Elsida slept with fingers itchy for a paintbrush and arose with fresh inspiration.It was her fourth day at the gallery when Cressida suggested she paint something.“Are you sure,? You have your charity gala coming up and I d

“I take it she signed the non-disclosure form then?” Armand asked, his eyebrows touching his hairline as he awaited his son’s response.A smirk graced Raphael’s face as he pulled out a hefty document and handed it over to his Father.“She was a bit reluctant but she couldn't risk her sick father finding such incriminating photos of her,” Raphael murmured.“Well done son, now we must get to her house before her shift is over,” Armand said flippantly as the car reared to life.Raphael felt pride swell in his chest at his Father's appraisal and he faced the window so Armand wouldn't notice the over-joyous expression on his face.No sooner after they arrived at the small townhouse, a petite red-haired nurse on duty stood by the door entrance, awaiting their arrival.“Get in and get out in ten minutes,” Armand said sternly as his gaze roamed the block, a perturbed look on his face.The nurse directed Raphael into William Dalton’s bedroom where he lay fast asleep.“Have you found a good spo

LUTON PREP, MANHATTAN, 10 YEARS AGO“What do you want, Julien? It’s past midnight,” Elsida asks as she eyes him curiously, her half-awake brain spinning as she tries to grasp why he’s standing in front of her dorm room at 2. a.m. suggesting they go for a ride.The same Julien who locked her up in the bathroom at the cabin and found ways to make her life at Luton Prep hell was casually standing on her doorstep like they were pals again?“It’s twelve degrees and my ass is freezing. El, get dressed, I’ll explain in the car.”“I have very little Faith in you Julien so Pardon me if I’m not jumping at the opportunity to spend time with you.”Julien cast her a wry look, his hands running through his curly tendrils, he let out a heavy sigh.“Give me one hour and then you’ll be back to your lovely confines El,” he rasps his gaze resting on hers, almost pleading.Elsida’s gaze roams his face trying to read him, she senses the nervousness radiating from him as his hands venture into his hair aga

Elsida felt Julien’s hot breath fan her face, pungent with expensive cigars and smoke, his lips mere inches apart from hers.The curly hair at the nape of his neck tickled her cheek as he stood unmoving, their bodies flushed together.If he moved his face just a bit, their lips would meet and her heart thrummed wildly in her chest from the mere thought.“Julien.. we can’t,” she rasped as her hands trembled, her fists curling as she fought the urge to hold on to him.“Bull shit,” he drawled, throwing her words back at her.Julien tipped her chin up so they were mere inches apart, he gazed into her emerald depths and the determination Elsida saw in them made her skin flush.“Here’s what’s going to happen El, you’re going to forget the past and I’m going to kiss you until your lips quiver and you beg me to take you here.”“Understood?” he drawled as their breaths mingled as one.Elsida let out a gasp and her hands developed a mind of their own as they perched on Julien’s suit, holding on
