All Chapters of The Billionaires Club: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The three girls held their breath while the video call rang and rang. “It’s really late.”, Collette said.It was late. Most adults, if they were up at this hour, were frantically wrapping gifts or putting complicated toys together in time for their kids to wake them up in a few hours and open presents. Celine was just about to give up when Sebastian’s face appeared on the screen.“Hold on.”, he said. Celine could hear music and talking, and she got a nice view of the ceiling as Sebastian walked out of the room. He closed a door and sat down and had a big smile for Celine and she almost didn’t have the heart to say anything to him. How could this man be fooling around on her?“Hey, baby. You miss me already?”, Sebastian asked. His words were a little sloppy and Celine realized he had been drinking too. At least they were on a level playing field, she thought.“How is the party?”, Celine was going to give him a chance to tell her himself.Sebastian put his face close to the phone and whi

Kissing Sebastian was delectable, and Celine was addicted. Ever since he arrived, she had been thinking about how to get him alone. And if it were not for her father, she would have dragged Sebastian to her bedroom like a cavewoman and had her way with him.WOW, where was that coming from?“Celine.”, he murmured into her mouth. “You taste incredible.” He slowly delved into her mouth stroking and sucking until she was incoherently moaning. He pulled her tighter, crushing her breasts against him and she could feel his arousal against her abdomen. “I want you.”, he groaned. “I need you.”, he said and bit her lip fueling her passion.“Sorry to interrupt, but…”, Collette said. Shit. Celine pushed away from Sebastian her face flaming. What if that had been her dad?Sebastian turned his back to Collette for obvious reasons, and Celine began wringing her hands. “I’m sorry. We…um…”“Did Dad leave?”, Collette asked, and Celine remembered Dad’s message.“He left without you. He told me to tell yo

The next morning, a middle-aged man appeared in the doorway wearing scrubs. “May I speak to the Beaumont family?” A sharp pain stabbed Celine’s stomach and within seconds, the man was swarmed with Celine and Collette at the center.Tugging at her braid, Celine squinted to read the man’s face trying to see any sign of the outcome. Was her father dead? Was he alright? Why wasn’t he saying anything? “Which one of you is family?”, the surgeon asked.“We are. We are his daughters.”, Collette said and pointed to herself and then Celine.The surgeon glanced around the group, then spoke. “I am Dr. Morgenstern, your father’s surgeon. He made it through the surgery.” There was an outburst of noise, and Celine sent out a silent, Thank you. “Your father was severely injured. The most concerning injuries were to his heart and his lungs.”, the surgeon said.Whatever relief she felt left her body, leaving her feeling heavy with dread. She clutched her sister’s hand and felt Sebastian step in closer.

Celine jabbed her sister and stood. “Hello Dr. Gururaj, I am Celine Beaumont and this is my sister Collette Beaumont.”“Why don’t you follow me to my office so we can talk.”, Dr. Gururaj said. He gestured toward the door he came out of, and the sisters followed.Collette was still rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. “Is this the surgeon?”, she asked keeping her voice pitched for Celine’s ears.“Yes.”, Celine murmured back.Dr. Gururaj’s office was excessively clean. The only thing on his desk was a monitor. The only things hanging on his walls were diplomas and awards. In front of his desk were two chairs and he motioned for them to sit. While he was getting himself settled across the desk from them, Celine took the opportunity to check him out.Like his office, he was meticulously groomed. He had short hair, no facial hair, and his hands were long, tapered, and manicured. Celine looked down and folded her hands in her lap. She worked with horses and her hobby was woodworking, her hands

When Celine left the law offices of Smith, Carson & Associates she was overcome by a cocktail of toxic emotions churning in her gut. She was so damn tired of being picked on by these obscenely rich narcissists. She wanted to fight back, but it was impossible to defend herself, against their limitless resources. Unless she cowered behind another obscenely rich man. Which she refused to do. There had to be a way to level the playing field.“Damn it!”, Celine yelled and hit the steering wheel. She was in her car in the hospital parking lot, the only place she could have a little privacy before she had to pretend everything was alright. Problems and possible solutions drifted in her brain while she tried to match the correct solution with the right problem. But there were so many complications that she couldn’t keep anything straight.Then she remembered her resolution. She did not have to do this alone. She thought about that haughty sociopath with her blond curls and her diamond-studded
