All Chapters of The billionaire who stole my heart : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Raleigh’s POVThat must have been the most ridiculous thing I have ever done. He’d want to crucify me at this point. But what the hell was Jake doing here of all places?With fear in my heart, I hugged him tighter, landing a kiss on his cheek. I knew I was overdoing it when he pulled me out of his arms.“I’m sorry,” I whispered. Fear clutching my heart.I could feel my knees shake, knowing he was about to smack me in the face and of course disgrace me. I was ready as he stepped towards me.He came closer and closer. Suddenly, I felt his lips pressed against mine.What the fuck was happening? Mr. Logan Hunt was kissing me. His lips were soft, it felt like soap against my hard, rocky lips. I knew I had taken this too far. I just wanted to make Jake jealous and bring to his awareness that I could find someone better and of course, someone could love me.That night we broke up, he had told it to my face that I was unworthy of love or any male figure in my life. And that has stuck with m

Raleigh POVI pushed open the door to my apartment, fully expecting silence after the terrible meeting with two insane humans (Logan and Jake) I'd had.Instead, the sound of laughter greeted me. I paused in the doorway, frowning. Mo and Mason were on the couch, both grinning as if they hadn’t been at each other’s throats just yesterday.I blinked.Had I missed something? The last time I saw them, they were barely speaking to each other. But now, they were acting like everything was sunshine and rainbows.“Uh… what’s going on?” I asked, my voice full of confusion. I dropped my bag by the door and stepped inside.“Aren’t you two supposed to be mad at each other?”Mason looked up at me, still wearing that goofy smile of his.“Oh, that? Water under the bridge.”Mo nodded, her face lighting up.“Yeah, Leigh. We talked it out, and everything’s fine now.” She jumped up from the couch and hurried over to me.“By the way, I owe you an apology for earlier. I shouldn’t have snapped at you. I was

Raleigh POV I woke up in my bed with a big headache. My eyes opened slowly. The room looked bright, and I felt all fuzzy inside. I tried to remember what happened the night before. We were at the bar with Mason, Mo, and Logan. I had too many drinks, and everything became a blur.I sat up in bed and put my hand on my forehead. What did I do? Then I remembered—Logan kissed me! My cheeks turned hot, and I felt stupid. Why did I let him kiss me? And why did he kiss me in the first place?I grabbed my phone from the nightstand. It buzzed with a message from Mo.Mo: Good morning! How do you feel?I quickly typed back.Me:  Not good. I drank too much.A moment later, my phone buzzed again. It was Mo.Mo: Me too! But guess what? Logan is a mess! He’s still sleeping on the couch!I couldn’t help but smile.Logan was a mess? That was funny to think about. I wanted to see him, but I also felt scared.

Raleigh's POVI walked home, my feet heavy on the ground. My mind was still stuck on what happened with Logan. That kiss felt confusing and strange. I didn’t even know how to think about it. I was deep in my thoughts when my phone buzzed in my pocket.I pulled it out and saw a message from Mikel. Mikel is my coworker, and he is not very nice. He wants to be the Chief Editor, just like me. I had no idea why he is texting me, but I opened it anyway.My heart dropped when I saw the picture he sent. It was a photo of Logan and me kissing! It looked like a secret shot taken from far away, but there was no mistaking it. The moment we shared was now out in the open, and it made my stomach twist in knots.“What a great shot!” Mikel had written in the message. “I guess you and Logan are closer than I thought. Good luck with the Chief Editor position!”I frowned and bit my lip. Mikel was always trying to make me look bad, and this was just another way for him to do it. I couldn’t believe he se

Raleigh’s POVI stood in front of Mr. Dunner’s office, my stomach twisting into tight knots. I felt scared, more scared than I’d been in a long time. I wiped my sweaty hands on my skirt and took a deep breath. This was it. This was where I’d find out if I was getting fired. I just knew it had to be about the kiss with Logan. How could it not be?The picture of me and Logan kissing. Mikel had sent it, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. What if Mr. Dunner had seen it? What if everyone in the office had seen it? My heart was racing just thinking about all the horrible things they might be saying about me. Would they think I was using Logan to get ahead? I wasn’t, but people love to make up stories.I knocked softly on the door, hoping maybe he wouldn’t hear it. But of course, he did."Come in," Mr. Dunner’s voice called from the other side.I pushed the door open slowly, feeling like my feet were too
