Billionaire's Untouched Flower

Billionaire's Untouched Flower

She needed one night. He needed one woman. Drowning in debts and desperate to survive, Ana Thompson agrees to a one-time job as a stripper. It’s supposed to be just one night, a quick way to pay off her stepmother’s endless demands. But that night, she collides with Fred Nork, the cold-hearted billionaire CEO of Majesties, a luxury women’s brand that thrives on elegance. Haunted by her past and overwhelmed by shame, Ana disappears before morning, leaving behind only a bloodstained sheet and the memory of her first time. Fred wakes up alone, confused, and with an unfamiliar ache in his chest. He doesn’t know her name. Weeks later, Ana’s world spirals further out of control. Homeless, pregnant, and rejected, she clutches the only lifeline she has, Fred’s business card, slipped into her bag the night they met. But when she walks into Majesties, hoping for help, she finds him… announcing his engagement to Tiana Monroe, a viciously poised heiress with a heart of ice. Shattered but not broken, Ana does the unthinkable. She applies for a cleaning job at Majesties. She begins working at the bottom rung of Fred’s empire. But Fred notices her. He doesn’t recognize the woman who once lit his world on fire, but something about Ana pulls him in again. Now, with the world watching, Fred must make an impossible choice: cling to the legacy he’s built with Tiana by his side, or risk it all for the mysterious woman who slipped away. Ana has a choice too: can she trust the man who once seemed so cold with her heart… and her child’s life? In a world where love is a weakness and power means everything, can a single night rewrite destiny?

Chapter: CHAPTER 25:THE UNVEILED TRUTH
“I said I’m only here to see my friend, silly!” Mia shouted, folding her arms and raising one brow at the uniformed security man standing tall in front of the Norks Mansion gate.The man, older and serious-looking, held his ground politely. “Ma’am, I understand, but this is private property. You can’t just walk in. Please call the person who invited you.”Mia rolled her eyes dramatically. “You think I climbed all the way here just for sightseeing? I said I know someone in this house. Just let me in!”“I’m only following instructions, ma’am. Without a proper call or name confirmation, I can’t let anyone through,” the security man replied calmly, but there was a trace of nervousness in his voice. Mia was loud, and people were beginning to look.From the third-floor window of the mansion, Ana peeked through the curtain. She had heard the loud voice from upstairs and instantly recognized it, it was Mia. Her heart jumped.“Oh no…” Ana whispered, stepping away from the window. She grabbed t

Chapter: CHAPTER 24: DIGGING DEEPER
Mia gripped the silver tray tightly against her chest as she stood near the back of the VIP lounge, her breath caught somewhere between shock and confusion. The soft hum of music and laughter filled the air, but all she could hear was the pounding of her own heartbeat.Her eyes were still locked on the dim hallway that Miles and Tiana had disappeared into just a few minutes ago. Her mind kept replaying the scene, Tiana leaning in close, her hand caressing the man's jawline, and then pulling him toward the restroom with a sly, flirty smile. The man hadn’t even resisted. In fact, he looked pleased. He was comfortable.Mia blinked hard, trying to process everything.“Unbelievable…” she whispered under her breath. “Fred’s fiancée? With his own brother?”Her palms were sweaty against the metal tray, and her knuckles turned pale from gripping too tightly. She set the tray down on a nearby table before she dropped it from the nerves crawling up her arms.Tiana’s image wouldn’t leave her h

Chapter: CHAPTER 23: DANGEROUS LIAISON
The club was loud and wild. The lights flashed in red and blue across the dark room, bouncing off the shiny surfaces and glass tables. The scent of alcohol and heavy perfume filled the air. Music blasted through the speakers, making the walls vibrate slightly. Dancers moved on stage, spinning around poles, their bodies glowing under the lights.Miles walked in behind Tiana, his nose slightly curled as he looked around. He had already removed his suit jacket and was now in just a dark shirt, the top buttons open. Even with the VIP sign on the section, he wasn’t impressed.“Why did you bring me to this cheap place, Tiana?” Miles asked, raising his voice so she could hear over the music.Tiana, already holding a glass of strong liquor, turned to face him. Her black dress hugged her body perfectly, and her lipstick was blood red. She smirked and took a slow sip before responding.“Cheap?” she repeated, raising her eyebrows. “Are you serious right now?”Miles looked around again. Strippers

Chapter: CHAPTER 22 THE EXPOSURE
“Why did he act like that? Did I say something wrong?” Ana whispered to herself, staring out of the cab window as the city lights passed by. Her mind was heavy, and her chest ached with worry.The scene at Majesties kept replaying in her head.Fred hadn’t even looked at her properly. His cold words. The way he walked past her like she didn’t matter.She placed a gentle hand on her belly.“I'm just trying to do the right thing, baby,” she whispered softly. “He deserves to know about you... I thought he would want to.”“We’re here, ma'am,” the cab driver said, snapping Ana out of her thoughts.“Oh... I’m sorry,” she said quickly, fumbling through her small purse. She pulled out a few dollar bills and handed them over.“Keep the change.”“Thank you, ma'am. Have a good night.”Ana stepped out of the cab slowly. Her feet felt heavy, just like her heart. The Nork mansion stood tall in front of her, glowing faintly in the night.She walked through the gates and into the mansion. The house wa

Chapter: CHAPTER 21: MY BABY'S BUMP
Ana woke up slowly, her eyes fluttering open to the faint morning light slipping through the large window. She stretched her body gently, but something felt different, her body was heavier. Her hand instinctively moved down to her belly.It was rounder now.She pushed the blanket away and sat up. Her oversized nightgown clung to her body awkwardly now, no longer hanging the way it used to. Her breasts felt sore, and her growing bump had pushed the fabric forward.Ana shuffled to the tall mirror in the corner of the room. Her bare feet brushed against the soft carpet as she walked. She stood before the mirror in silence.Her hair was tangled, her eyes still puffy from restless sleep. She raised both hands and gently cradled her belly, her fingers trembling a little.“My baby…” she whispered to the reflection, her voice shaking.“Ana’s baby.”The tears she’d been holding back all night finally began to pool in her eyes.She tried to smile, but it cracked halfway. “I don’t even know how

Chapter: CHAPTER 20 BROTHERS BATTLE
Bang! Bang! Bang!“MILES!” Fred shouted as he slammed his fist on the door again and again.Inside the room, Miles slowly got up from the couch, half-dressed, eyes slightly red. He looked annoyed as he dragged his feet to the door. The room reeked of alcohol. Empty whisky bottles lay scattered on the floor.He yanked the door open.“Do you plan on breaking down my door?” Miles said, his voice rough, his chest bare.Fred didn’t answer. His eyes quickly scanned the room, he saw the mess, the bottles, the same old Miles. Nothing had changed.But he didn’t care about that now. “What is Ana doing in this house?” Fred asked, pushing past Miles and stepping into the messy room.Miles blinked, still a little dazed. “Excuse me?”“You heard me!” Fred snapped, spinning around to face him.Miles chuckled and walked further inside. “I only helped a woman who needed it. She was homeless, Fred. I offered her shelter. We have more than enough rooms in this mansion.”Fred’s eyes narrowed. “I told you
