The Billionaire's Deal
“In those two years, you will do everything I ask of you, no questions asked,” he stated, his tone firm.
I opened my mouth to protest, but he cut me off. “I’m not done. During those years, you are not allowed to be with any man, young or old. No dates, no clients, no flirting. If you so much as smile at a man, the contract is broken”
"And if you break any part of the contract, you’ll pay me the full amount, plus 200% interest. And I always collect my debts, Elizabeth, one way or another." His voice deepened into a threat.
I swallowed hard and stared at the table in front of me, my heart racing. If I didn’t sign it, my sister could die.
---
When the broken meets the unlucky, sparks ignite.
Elizabeth James has always considered herself unlucky, but nothing tests her resolve more than her sister’s life-threatening illness. Desperate to save her, she accepts help from Richard—a powerful billionaire with his own demons. His help comes at a price: two years bound by his rules, doing whatever he says, no questions asked.
Haunted by the betrayal of his ex-wife, Richard lives by a single regret: ‘I wish I made her pay.’ When Elizabeth—a young orphan who bears an uncanny resemblance with his ex—enters his life, a misunderstanding convinces him she’s just another gold digger. Manipulating her into an impossible deal, Richard plans to humiliate her and make her break.
But what begins as a calculated act of revenge spirals into something unexpected. Richard finds himself drawn to Elizabeth in ways he never imagined could ever happen again.

Chapter: Chapter 87He was awake. He was saying my name. I took one step forward—about to rush to him when I felt Rose’s firm grip around my arm.I turned to her, my chest rising and falling, and she slowly shook her head, eyes wide with warning.I froze.I knew it! I knew I wasn’t supposed to expose myself. For my own good, for the hospital and for rose's job, but my heart… God, my heart was screaming.I stood there, rooted to the floor, my hands clenched into fists.“Richard!” Sylvia’s voice snapped, pushing past me as she rushed to his side. “You’re awake,” she gasped, grabbing one of his hands with both of hers. “You’re really awake.”The monitor beeped louder. Faster. Sharper.His blood pressure was still climbing—erratic and unstable.“His heart rate’s not settling,” one of the nurses warned, eyeing the screen. “BP’s still dangerously high.”“Get a beta-blocker ready—IV push,” the matron barked. “Now! We need to calm him down.”Even as they scrambled across the room frantically, my eyes stayed l

Chapter: Chapter 86Elizabeth’s Point of ViewI dipped my head immediately, heart pounding as Rose stepped forward and tried to speak.“Uhm… ma’am, we’re just here to check his vitals.”Even without looking up, I could feel it—Sylvia’s glare.“Didn’t I tell you never to attend to him when I’m not here?” she scolded.“But ma’am, you were gone for almost an hour and—”“I wasn’t gone for an hour,” she snapped, cutting her off. “And even if I was, you should have waited. Is that too hard?”She paused then, her eyes sweeping over all of us like we were insects under a glass.“So?” she asked, folding her arms. “How is he doing?”Rose blinked. “What?”Sylvia’s voice rose again, sharp and impatient. “You said you came to check his vitals. I’m asking—what’s the update? Is there any progress? Or is this hospital just filled with useless, overpaid incompetents who know nothing?”We all stood frozen. Even Rose’s mouth hung slightly open. I had always thought Sylvia saved that tone for me… but clearly, no one was saf

Chapter: Chapter 85 “Good, let’s go. Mrs. Williams might be back soon,” Rose said, handing us clipboards and pens before ushering us out of the room.The moment we stepped out of Jessica’s room, my heart began to pound. Hard.It wasn’t just nerves—it was fear. Real fear.The last time I went up to that floor, Mrs. Williams had ordered the guards to beat me and lock me in their van.They would’ve done it too, if Beatrice hadn’t stopped them.“I hate your guts, I hate everything about you—but I won't let Sylvia do something Richard would hate her for. So for your own good, never come back up again. At least not until Richard’s fine.”Beatrice’s words echoed in my head as we walked toward the elevator.My palms were so sweaty it was soaking the clipboard. My chest felt like a shuttle.We got into the elevator, and Rose pressed the 12th button.Our eyes stayed glued to the lights as it ticked through every floor before finally—Ding.The door slid open.And there they were.Guards.Seven of them. Maybe more.

Chapter: Chapter 84Elizabeth's point of view Three days later…The sound of the bell echoed softly, followed by a gentle knock.“Hello?” Vivian said as she stepped into the room, holding a tub of Jessica’s favorite ice cream and a bouquet of fresh lavender.“I came as soon as I could,” she said, her voice warm, her eyes scanning the room before landing on Jessica.“Viv!!” Jessica squealed, trying to sit up too fast.“Careful, careful,” I warned gently, rushing to steady her. The bruises on her face had begun to fade, but the cast on her arm was still fresh, and her body was still sore, every movement made her wince.“I am sorry I couldn't come earlier,” Vivian said softly, walking over and leaning in to hug Jessica tightly before turning to me.Her smile faltered slightly as she took me in. “How are you?” she asked, softly.I opened my mouth, then closed it. What could I even say? There were no words big enough for the storm inside me. I felt hollow… like I was barely holding myself up.So I just sighe

Chapter: Chapter 83 Elizabeth's point of view: The officer turned to me, his brows furrowed slightly. “Is this true, ma’am?” he asked, clearly confused.I blinked. “What?”I didn’t even know what part he was asking about—Sylvia had thrown so many accusations at once. My mind was spinning too fast to keep up.“I’m sorry, ma’am,” Officer Parker said, turning back to Sylvia. “But I’ve already taken her statement. If you believe she’s responsible for something, please come down to the station and file a formal complaint.”Sylvia’s eyes narrowed.“So what are you saying?” she asked, her tone sharp. “You’re not going to arrest her?” she snapped. “What I am saying ma'am,” the officer replied as calmly as he could, “ Is that I’ve done my part here. Further investigation would need to go through proper channels. I’m sorry.” “Do you even know who I am?” Sylvia snapped, stepping closer. “You’re going to lose your job for this.”“I’m just doing my ma’am, and if you would excuse me ma'am, I have to get back to the

Chapter: Chapter 82Elizabeth's point of view;After they wheeled Richard away, a nurse walked up to me, holding a clipboard.“Ma’am, I need you to fill out a form for the patient in Operation,” she said gently.I blinked at her, still standing in the middle of the hallway like I wasn’t really there. My chest felt heavy, like a boulder was crushing inside it. My thoughts were scattered, foggy.She held the pen out to me, "what's your relationship with the patient ma'am"“I… I…” I choked, struggling to form words.What was I to Richard?“He’s my… boss,” I said finally, because that was the only thing that made sense on paper.As soon as the words left my lips, the nurse hesitated, her expression shifting.“Oh. I’m sorry. I’ll need a family member to fill this out then,” she said, gently withdrawing the form.“There’s no need for that,” a voice said from behind me.I turned around, slowly, to find Rose walking toward me.“That’s Mr. Richard Anthony ” she said to the nurse. “He owns this hospital.”The nurs

Chapter: Chapter 26 I turned to William, my eyes pleading for help. "What do I do?" I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper. He simply nodded, his expression steady and assured. "I’ll handle it," he said before stepping forward. "Excuse me, listen up, everyone!" William’s voice echoed through the lobby, commanding attention. Conversations reduced, and one by one, heads turned in our direction. A few employees exchanged uncertain glances, but soon, silence settled over the crowd. "The email you all received is false," he stated firmly. He gestured toward me as I took a step forward. "This is the new C.E.O." I straightened my shoulders as William continued. "Her name is Sophia Martins, and she is more than capable of leading this company. She has stepped in to honor her father’s legacy, and under her leadership, this company will not decline—it will thrive." His gaze swept across the gathered employees, his voice unwavering. "That email was nothing more than a disgraceful attempt to tarnis

Chapter: Chapter 25Sophia’s Point of View: I tossed and turned all night. Despite the room’s complete renovation, I couldn't sleep. For the first time since the incident, the nightmares returned—vivid, relentless, and cruelly familiar. I was back on that cold bench, chains biting into my wrists. The strange man loomed over me, his shadow stretching across the dimly lit room. Beside him stood Ava and John, their laughter slicing through the suffocating silence, their eyes gleaming with twisted delight at my helplessness. And then there was William—my hero. He appeared, just like before, ready to save me. But just as his hand reached for mine, a deafening gunshot tore through the air. I watched, horror twisting in my gut, as he crumpled to the ground. His body lay still, lifeless. And that was when I felt the most fear—not when I was tied up, not even when I thought I was going to die. It was the sight of William’s body on the floor that truly broke me. I woke up gasping, sweat clinging to my

Chapter: Chapter 24John's point of view: "This bitch." I stared at her, watching as she bossed everyone around. This was the same little Sophia who used to worship the ground I walked on, and now she had the guts to talk back to me? I clenched my jaw, trying to keep my anger in check, but it was damn near impossible. Every fiber of my being screamed at me to put her back in her place. She was beneath me, and it didn’t matter if her father had all the money in the world—or if she did now. "Well, you should get to cleaning. From the look of it, you might have to spend the whole day," she said with a smirk, mocking me. I shot her a glare before turning my attention to the room. My stomach twisted. 'How the hell did anyone live here?' It looked more like a closet than a room. I stepped inside, forced to duck my head to get through the doorway. Sophia was tall. how could she even fit in here for so long. The place was disgusting, the kind of space even rats would turn their noses up at. I looked ar

Chapter: Chapter 23Sophia's point of view; "Follow me. I'll show you to your rooms," I instructed, gesturing for John to get to his feet. He hesitated for a fraction of a second before rising. Rose followed close behind as I led them down the hall. The room I chose for John was one I knew all too well. My old room. The one Maxwell Smith had forced me to stay in. It was tiny, damp, and wedged directly under the staircase. I had spent countless nights staring at the low ceiling, my body aching from exhaustion, yet unable to sleep because of the constant creaking above me—the heavy stomping of feet, reminding me of my place beneath them. The only nights I ever found peace were when Maxwell was away. Rose would let me sneak into her room, where the mattress was soft, and the silence didn't suffocate me. "Here," I said, pushing the door open. A gust of dust rushed out, thick and stale, forcing all of us to cough. The air inside reeked of mildew, and the mold that had once been a small patch on the w

Chapter: Chapter 22Was I not his type? I wondered, my mind racing as I stared at William. Was he even into women? I shook off the thought. Why was I always drawn to men who didn’t find me attractive? First John, now William. 'Snap out of it,' I told myself, pushing the thoughts away. "I’ll ask Grace to clean the room for you. While she does that, you can have your men set up the cameras," I instructed, my voice firm. William had suggested installing cameras throughout the house, insisting it was the best way to protect me. "Everywhere except the room I’ll be staying in," I added. "And I want full access to the footage." I didn’t wait for his reply before turning away, my steps carrying me toward the master bedroom. The moment I stepped inside, a chill crawled up my spine. My breath caught in my throat. The room looked exactly like the one John and I had shared. The same furniture. The exact same curtains. The wallpaper. Even that hideous painting of a boat—hung in the same spot where a c

Chapter: Chapter 21 Sophia's Point of View: I watched as John and his family carried their boxes out of the house, yet the satisfaction I had expected to feel never came. My gaze drifted to Rose, and a hint of sadness tightened my chest. After my mother’s death, she had been like a mother to me. And just like me, she had suffered under the Smiths’ cruelty. "Wait!" I called out, suddenly uneasy at the thought of Rose being out on the streets. I folded my arms over my chest, forcing indifference into my tone. "I might consider letting you all stay in the guest quarters—if you beg." John turned, his face twisting with disdain. "Beg you?" he spat. "Never." His voice dripped with pride. I glanced briefly at Rose. She was looking at Maxwell as though hoping he would say something, but he didn't, and she stayed quiet. She was always a loyal wife. "Suit yourself," I said with a shrug, watching them leave. I knew John hated handling cash—so much so that they probably didn’t have enough on them to even p
