The Billionaire's Secretary.
The Billionaire's Secretary is a contemporary romance featuring Star Griffin–secretary to the handsome billionaire CEO, Neal Ward. Star is brilliant and head over heels in love with Neal, who is more reserved with his affection.
Trouble brews when Star learns she's not accepted by Neal's wealthy family. To make matters worse, she finds out that he is to marry a beautiful heiress.
Heartbroken, she resigns from her job and leaves the city to start a new life.
Only to return after three years.
She has been transferred to her company's headquarters as the head secretary working directly with the boss. Once again, it's Neal–the man who shattered her heart in the worst way possible.
But he doesn't remember her.
Working together again causes sparks to fly and although Star guards her heart righteously, she ends up falling for him once more.
This time, Neal doesn't hold back with expressing his affection–which is the one thing Star has always wanted.
Neal has amnesia and his brilliant psychotherapist shares a striking resemblance to Star. Also, Star is a single mom to a three year old son who is the splitting image of the billionaire.
History repeats itself when tabloids show Neal and his psychotherapist having an intimate moment. Star is heartbroken again and this time is far worse than the last. Her mom also falls fatally ill, leaving her vulnerable to Neal's scheming mom whose agenda is to once again break up the couple.
Neal recovers his memory and battles to clear every misunderstanding in a bid to win back Star's trust. Meanwhile, the truth about his amnesia is revealed as well as the fact that he is indeed the father of her son.
The lovers navigate treacherous situations and ultimately, get their happy ending.

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-Five: Star“You’re going nowhere.”I can do nothing but watch as my father grabs my travel box where I’ve hurriedly packed my essentials and drags it away from the door.Mom is standing by the window, looking better than I expected, considering the dark cloud hanging over our household. Ethan is clinging to my legs.“Let her go, Raymond,” Mom says quietly even though she’s not looking at me. “No!” Dad barks, “Never. I will not allow it.”He whirls around and stalks to me, stabbing a finger in my face, “How could you even think of abandoning your family at a time like this? You should be ashamed. Your brother is in police custody for goodness sake!”“And I’m sorry about that,” my voice wobbles as I reign in my emotions, “I really am. But this is important.”“Your family is more important,” Dad spits furiously. His voice is so loud, I can feel it resound in my bones. Ethan starts to sniffle.I bend down to hug him and wipe the tears tracing down his angelic face. He’s already said I’m l

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-Four: Star“Tonight?!”James screeches from across the table. We’re having lunch in our usual restaurant and I have just broken the news to him.“This is ludicrous,” he gushes, stabbing his fork in the air. I wonder if he’s imagining stabbing Neal. “You’re not a mindless toy to be pushed around at his every whim…”A headache blooms in the recesses of my cranium and I try massaging it away with my fingers. James rages on and on, his lunch completely forgotten.“…no right to make such demands of you,” he fumes. His face is already tinted purple and he’s panting from exertion. “Please tell me you’re not leaving.”I balk at him, “Why not?”“Because this is the time your family needs you most.”He is right. With Richard in detention, I need to support my parents physically and emotionally. But…there’s no way out of this. I already signed away my refusal rights when I agreed to be his assistant. Besides, he’s going to pay very well for the trouble.Reaching across the table, I grab James’

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-Three: StarThe next morning, I step out of the house, ready to crush another day at the office.“I don’t like him.”“Shit!” I startle and clutch at my chest. Dad is standing on the front porch, leaning against the wooden railings and smoking a cigarette. “What the hell? You nearly gave me a heart attack, Dad.”His response is to take a long pull of his cigarette. I become nervous; he only smokes when he’s stressed out about something.“That boss of yours? I’ve got a bad feeling about him. I don’t want to see him in this house ever again,” he declares.I shake my head, causing tendrils of my hair to fall into my face. “Why? And what about his offer to help Mom launch her book at the Royal Museum?”He turns around to look at me. His eyes are tired yet fierce and his lips are pinched tightly. “Your mom will launch her book in the community center as planned,” his tone leaves no room for arguments.“But…”“Your brother was arrested last night,” he states suddenly. My bag drops to the flo

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-two: StarI glower so hard at my plate that the buttery mashed potatoes and peas start to swim in my vision. Mom’s tinkling laughter rings out– a sequel to one of Neal’s sugar coated statements.Across from me, Dad is also brooding as he chews seriously. Judging by the hard glances he sends Neal’s way, it’s obvious he doesn’t like him.“Your mother must be a sweet woman to have raised such a charming gentleman,” Mom giggles again.I snort so hard, they pause and stare at me. Neal is gloating and I want to slap that smirk off his sexy lips.“Were you going to say something?” He inquires with a courteous tone that doesn’t quite match the mischief in his eyes.“I was going to ask you to pass me the salt,” I sass before turning to Mom, “What about your book launch? You haven’t talked about it since I got back.”“Yes about that…well, your father is making arrangements to rent out the community center,” she yaps happily, “The publisher still has to add a few finishing touches as well and we’re

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-one: StarThe six pm evening sky is a burst of colors–from the deepest purple to a vibrant orange. It’s the perfect pallet, one that most artists dream of. Standing on James’ balcony with my elbows pressed up against the railings, I feel like a drab grey background in the midst of the celestial color splash. The lump in my throat hasn’t left since afternoon and I know why.“There you are,” My best friend exhales as he shuffles through the tiny entrance and joins me on the balcony. His hair is in a loose ponytail with several strands falling around his face.“Dinner is almost ready,” he smiles, “Prepare to be mind blown.”Despite myself, I grin at him, “Really? I can’t wait.”He chuckles and leans against the railing as well but this time, he’s backing the world.“So what did the handsome bastard boss have to say so bad that couldn’t wait till after lunchtime?”I raise an eyebrow at him, “You’re getting really creative with those nicknames,” then my shoulders slump as I let out a long si

Chapter: Chapter Twenty: Star“You better not be avoiding me, Star Griffin.” James’ disconcerted voice blares into my ears. At the same time, I walk right into a puddle, soiling my blue suede boots.“Dammit!” I hiss as I shake the water off.“Countless number of calls and texts and all I get back is a two sentence reply?” He tuts in mock vexation. Underneath his light, teasing tone is an inflection of hurt and my heart squeezes a little.“James,” I whine, “I already told you; I was busy the entire weekend.”“That’s a sorry excuse for not wanting to talk but I accept it. Are you still booked today?”I approach the wide intersection that leads to several streets full of towering office buildings. Soft Rock’s spire is visible from here and I’m briefly mesmerized with the way it teases the early morning clouds.“I’m free for lunch,” I say.“Fabulous,” he agrees, then his voice dips into a warning, “If that bastard boss of yours insists on coming along, I’ll have no choice but to file for a restraining order.”
