Billionaire Heiress

Billionaire Heiress

“Breathe,” I muttered to myself as I walked down the aisle, bouquet in hand, scanning the few people seated, people I barely knew, but the groom was nowhere in sight. Panic set in. My heart skipped a beat. Was I about to be ditched on my wedding day? I could already picture what the headline would be : Daughter of Late CEO of Nova White Robotics Abandoned at the Altar. Not only would I be disgraced, but my chances of taking over the company would slip away, and my enemies? Well, they would dance and jubilate. Just as I was about give up, I heard the sound of hasty footsteps. The crowd turned and gasped in shock as Mason appeared, looking dashing in a sharp three-piece crisp suit. His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine. “Sorry, I’m late. My suit didn’t arrive on time,” he said with an apologetic smile. I nodded and the priest began reading the vows, he turned to me and asked, "Will you take Mr. Mason Anderson as your lawfully wedded husband, to love and protect?" I tried to speak, but the words stuck in my throat. I just stood there, lost in confusion, unsure if this was the right choice.

Chapter: Revenge plan
52. Maeve I never knew my word could change without its physically moving, but that’s exactly what happened.This only happened in movies. I never expected this to happen in real life, but as I stared at Mr. Smith, he just said something about Peter. He broke my heart and he made me realize that this marriage was about to be more complicated than I thought.Mr. Smith wasn’t just some rich, intimidating man I’d seen at corporate events. Not just the polished, silver-templed CEO who carried authority like a tailored suit.Peter’s. Father.The resemblance was subtle but undeniable now that I saw it. The eyes. The sharp line of the jaw. The way his mouth curved when he was thinking.And he was looking at me.I hadn’t realized my face had changed until his expression did.“Maeve?” he said gently. “Are you alright?”I blinked. My throat felt dry. I forced my lips upward into something that probably looked like a smile but felt like cracked porcelain.“Yeah. Yeah, I’m good,” I said too qui

Chapter: Her or me?
Emily The hospital room smells like antiseptic and regret.I sit in the stiff plastic chair beside Mason’s bed, staring at the steady rise and fall of his chest. The oxygen mask fogs faintly with every breath he takes. The heart monitor beeps in soft, rhythmic reminders that he’s still here.Still breathing.Because of me.My fingers curl around the armrest. The image replays in my head no matter how hard I try to shove it away—the headlights, the screech of tires, the force of his body slamming into mine as he pushed me out of the way.That car was coming straight at me.It wasn’t an accident. I felt it. I know it.And Mason—stupid, infuriating Mason—did what he always does.He stepped in.Like some damn superhero.I scoff under my breath, but it dies halfway out because when I look at him lying there with tubes and bruises shadowing his jaw, my chest tightens painfully.“You just had to do it, didn’t you?” I murmur. “Couldn’t let someone else save the day for once.”My throat burns

Chapter: The bad accident
50.Mason“What are you doing here?”I asked, pulling Madison outside the office into the hallway. “You cannot be here,” I said, my voice low but sharp enough to cut.She didn’t flinch. She looked at me the way she always did—like I was overreacting, like this was all some inconvenient misunderstanding.She scoffed.“Relax, Mason. I’m not here to redecorate your office. I just need five minutes.”“You shouldn’t even be past reception.”She shifted her weight, one hand resting on the curve of her stomach. The sight still sent a jolt through me—anger, confusion, disbelief all tangled together.“I’m only here to tell you something important,” she said. “There’s this safe test we can do while I’m still pregnant.”I stared at her.“What?”“It’s simple,” she continued, like we were discussing a dinner reservation. “We go to the hospital or a lab. They take a little blood from me and swab you. Results come fast and accurately,I just need a thousand pound.” She tilted her head. “What do you s

Chapter: The birthday surprise
49.Emily Months after the incident with Eddie at the park, I got really close to Mason. I didn’t mean to. It’s just hard to avoid him or wipe him out of my life, he’s like the only friend I’ve got in this goddamn company. And he’s the only one who gets me in ways no one ever will. I’m brushing my teeth staring into the mirror when my phone beeps on the sink, I quickly rinse my mouth and glance at the screen. Shit! It’s Maeve, and I immediately answer it. “Hi, Maeve!”“Emily, I’m so sorry I didn’t call all this time.”I sat on the toilet seat, “The last time we spoke you seemed so sure about marrying this old man.”“He isn’t that old,”“Oh…”“I mean, he is old but he’s really cool…”“So, you really want to get married to him?”“Of course not, and I told him about it, he said he’s going to call off the wedding.” Maeve seemed too happy as she said those words.“I’m confused, if you didn’t want to marry this man then why did you call and tell me you were ready?”There was a pause on

Chapter: My husband-to-be is my boyfriend’s dad.
48.Maeve “Maeve? Are you ready?”I heard Gianna yell from outside my door but I remained rooted to the ground, my breath jagged, my palm sweaty, I could feel the panic attack sip in as I stared at my reflection in the full-sized mirror. I looked red, my cheeks flushed, my red hair curled cascading down my shoulders and my lips painted with my favourite lipstick, peach colored lip stuck. The one Peter gave me on my birthday. I straightened the damn white dress that looked like I was preparing for my own wedding.“This is dumb,” I whispered, rubbing my temples with both hands.“Hurry up, girl, people are waiting!” Gianna’s annoying voice came again and I stiffened, my heart skipping a beat.My mother frightened me, hearing her voice makes me feel so unsafe, and stepping out that door would mean I’ll actually face my fears. The one I’d been hiding all these weeks.You know when I agreed to marry Mr Smith, it was out of desperation , I was afraid Gianna would rat me out to my father, E

Chapter: Failed date
47Mason“I should get back into the house,” Emily suddenly said, breaking eye contact. I nodded immediately, “Of course, you’ve had a long day, I’ll see you tomorrow.”“Yeah, sure,” I watched her go back inside the house, and I wanted to grab her by the waist and kiss her on the lips, telling her everything would be okay, but it was too late; she was already gone. The next morning, I’m quite early at work. I didn’t sleep much, spent the entire night thinking about Emily and mapping out a plan for my company. Right now, I’m dozing at work with my head down on the table. The door bursts open and Emily walks in, she looks… well better than yesterday. Her hair is styled in a slick back. And she’s wearing her usual dark suit jacket and skirt. She smiled at me, “Looks like someone didn’t get enough night's rest,”I straightened in my seat, “Not really, I was up all night.”“I can see that,” she walked over to sit across from me. “So what are you up to?”“Nothing much, I was working on

Trapped in the Mafia’s hell

Trapped in the Mafia’s hell

“Strip!”Marcelo growled like some hungry lion deprived of food for days. “Don’t make me say this twice,” I scoffed, "I'd rather join my father in his grave than let you see my skin."

Chapter: A preview for my new book “The secret we share.”
EliasFor so long I’d always imagined sucking my stepdad’s cock while I spanked his ass at the same time till it turned red. So when he bent over for the fourteenth time, polo riding up to flash those carved abs, khakis pulling tight across his ass as he drove the ball straight into the hole, I couldn't help but feel my cock getting excited.I wished it were his balls in my hole instead. “Fuck! That was sweet !”Vane straightened, he praised himself, then turned to me and winked.The same cocky wink he gave closing multimillion-dollar deals. I forced a smile back at him, adjusting the oversized glasses at the bridge of my nose; then I stared down at my pants. Fuck, the outline of my erection was beginning to show. It would be the greatest embarrassment of my life if he saw that, so I excused myself, nervously brushing past my stepbrother Josh.“Where are you running off to, geekling?” Josh asked after me.‘To do what I knew best.’ I said in my head. I didn’t even bother to loc

Chapter: Chapter 61
Gabriella (finale)The last time I was in this disastrous situation was when my father died. That was also the first time I’d experienced such strong violence. Now sitting here strapped to a chair while the fire spread around the room, around the curtains and flammable things, it felt like my end was near. Closer than I expected. I shut my eyes as I let the smoke overpower me. But I was jolted out of my consciousness when I felt Marcello's strong arms around me, he had unlocked the chain and it came falling to the ground. I hugged him so tight, “Thank you, Marcello,”“There’s no time for that, we need to get out of here!” He said holding me firmly by the waist. But Stefan's laughter cut through the chaos and noise,“It’s too late, we are all going to die here!”He wasn’t wrong, the flames were growing by every second and the smoke was killing. He grabbed me and we ran to the door but to our surprise, it was closed. Shut, I turned to face Stefan. He was holding up the key, limp

MarcelloStefan was too late, the chains had already broken free before he shot the guard. But he had the upper hand now, he had a gun pointed at Gabriella and his men pointed their guns at me.“If I were you, I’d be sitting on the seat right now,” Stefan barked. I didn’t move, I just stood there frozen. There was no way in hell I’d let him bind me with chains again while awake. I’d rather die than succumb that easily. Gabriella stared up at me shaking, waiting patiently for my next move. Everyone had their eyes on me. “Sit! You’re unarmed and defenseless.” Stefan said again his arms wide open. He was no longer pointing the gun at Gabriella and I was relieved.All of a sudden, he shot right above her head Gabriella screamed. “ This is your last chance!”I looked down at the dead guard lying on the ground lifeless. A pool of blood had formed around him and some of it had stained Gabriella’s dress.Slowly, I sat on the chair, Stefan gestured for one of the guards to tie me up wi

MarcelloBy the time I arrived, the building was already in flames. They say the best survival skill is knowing when to turn and flee.But my legs didn’t stop running into the danger that glared back at me. After so much hassle, I was finally inside. The air was filled with smoke yet I could hear Gabriella coughing. When the fog cleared I saw her chained to a chair, helpless, and it felt like Adrianna all over again. At least it wasn't a bomb this time. “Hold on, I’d get you out of here.”I rushed over to her but she screamed.“Watch out, Marcello!”It was too late, I was hit by something hard and I fell into unconsciousness.The next thing I saw when I woke up was Gabriella’s teary face. Her face lit up when she realised I was awake. But something was wrong.“Thank God, you’re alive, I thought he killed you.”I tried to move but I was bound by something hot, I stared down at my chains to see the numerous chains circling my chest as if I were some werewolf they were trying to hold

Gabriella I tried to reach out for the phone, I dialed the last number on the call log. And I suspected it was Marcello’s because he was the one Stefan had called last. I tried to speak to him but I was soon cut short when I noticed Stefan approaching the car. I leaned against the car seat breathing hard and loud. He put some things in the car booth and then slipped into the driver's seat, looking at me through the rear view mirror, he had beads of sweat on his forehead as if he had run a marathon. He’s been gone for so long and that told me he didn’t just go for fuel. He went to the store. To get only God knows what.He inserted the key and the car roared to life and he began to drive. Furiously. “Where are you taking me to?” I asked my hands still bound by the rope but little did he know that I was already untangling it.“You’ll know soon,” he muttered, he made a U-turn onto a deserted street, then grabbed his phone. He turned to face me. “I'm going to call this number and

Marcello.For hours I couldn’t bring my mind to rest. A mafia lord like me shouldn’t be bothered about a woman. For all I know the baby might not be mine. I stood right in front of the mirror, my hands gripping the sink. I washed my face with warm water first, then applied shaving cream and spread it all over my beard before letting the blade glide down.I thought about what Adrianna said, she was right. Gabriella was once part of my family. I’d married her even though it meant nothing to me.Blood trickled down the sink, “Shit!” I’d cut myself again. But this time, the blood didn’t stop; instead, it multiplied, overflowing until it spilled onto the ground.I heard someone bang the door and I blinked twice. It was just water. I shut the tap, rinsing my chin and dabbing it with a towel. I tied a velvet towel around my waist and walked to the door. It was one of my guards at the door.“What do you want?”I asked, the last thing I needed was anyone reporting bad news to me. I didn’t wa
