2023-10-09 23:13:03"Mr Draven, you've got a board meeting by 1 p.m." A tall, blonde secretary said. Damon Draven, who had been sitting with his back towards her, turned and faced her.
"Oh got it, Lou," Damon said and went back to working on his laptop.
Damon stared at his computer and typed away. Being a businessman who knew nothing, but business wealth, and riches, Damon had no friends. It was difficult to see him around people.
Damon Draven was one of the richest billionaires in Brooklyn and one of the Top ten richest young men in the whole of America.
The name Damon Draven brought people to their knees wherever they heard it, especially in the business world. At age 29, Damon was known as one of the toughest and strictest businessmen, and he was the youngest to receive the Business Man award of the year at age 25.
"Mr Damon, a Miss Betty is here to see you," Lou said as she peeped through his door and Damon looked up at her.
"Let her in." He said and Lou nodded.
Betty strolled into the office, chewing bubble gum while flaunting her eyelashes.
"To what do I owe this unwanted visit?" Damon asked, not looking up at all.
"Oh come on Damon, don't be like that," Betty said and sat across him. She crossed her legs and Damon looked up at her.
"What do you want, Bet?" Damon said dropped his pen, and reclined in his chair.
"I came to see you, Damon. Isn't it obvious?" Betty said and Damon rolled his eyes.
"Last I checked, you and I only had a one-night stand so I don't understand what you want from me," Damon said and Betty giggled.
"That's the point. I know it was just a one-night stand, but I can't seem to stop wanting you." Betty said and Damon erupted into a loud laughter.
"Betty. Listen up. I don't do relationships. Never. And even if I wanted to have a relationship, it wouldn't be a random whore I picked from the street." Damon said and Betty's face folded into a frown. "I'm not interested in you, will never be interested in you. Just so you know. Now if you don't have any more to say, get out of my office. Damon said and Betty's face became red with anger.
Betty said nothing and walked out of the office quietly. Damon went back to work and then he checked the time and saw it was time for Lunch.
"Oh shit, I'm starving." He said, and at that very moment, Lucas, his best friend and Legal adviser, strolled in.
"If it isn't Playboy Lucas," Damon said dryly and Lucas chuckled.
"Look who is talking'. I heard Betty showed up here at the office." Lucas said and Damon rolled his eyes and relaxed his back in the chair.
"Oh please, Lucas. Do not bring up that girl's name right now. The thought of it is making me angry." Damon said and Lucas laughed.
"What did she say?" Lucas asked.
"She said that she knows that it was just a one-night stand, but she wants more. More? I know she's looking for a way to attach herself to me, because of my status and riches. Damon said and Lucas chuckled.
"I told you, that girl was sick in the head. Did you listen to me? Your horniness was leading you and now you've gotten yourself entangled with a crazy bitch." Lucas said and Damon groaned.
"Oh stop already. I can't take any more of this Betty talk. Let's go grab a coffee, yeah?" Damon said and Lucas smiled.
"Yeah, sure."
You might be wondering, why would he go out to get his own coffee?
Damon's coffee had been poisoned two years ago, by his secretary, But that couldn't stop him from drinking coffee, so he decided to go get his coffee himself.
"I heard there's a new coffee place around," Lucas said and Damon looked at him.
"Where?" Damon asked.
"Down the road. Just three blocks away ". Lucas said. "They've got really good coffee, and their waitresses are fucking pretty," Lucas said with a wink and Damon sighed.
"Fucking pervert," Damon muttered with a low chuckle and Lucas laughed.
Walking down the streets, the sounds of cameras clicking and camera lights flashing were heard. It wasn't an uncommon thing for Damon to be seen walking around the area, but every time it happened it was always something that ladies present looked forward to. Damon was an international celebrity, it would be strange if nobody took his pictures when he was taking a walk.
Damon and Lucas arrived at the coffee shop. They sat down and Damon looked around.
"Oh look, they've got baked foods. I guess we would be having lunch here after all." Lucas said and Damon said nothing.
Damon didn't say anything throughout, if anything he was trying to exhibit some coldness.
Suddenly, a girl dashed into the restaurant.
"Hey Sarah, you're late. Again." One of the waitresses said.
"I know, I know. I had to go pick Alex up from preschool and keep him with a friend while I came to work. I'm sorry. It won't happen again." The girl named Sarah said. Damon stared at her. She looked familiar for some reason, but he just couldn't place his finger on it. He looked away as she came towards their table.
"Good afternoon. I'm sorry for the slight delay." Sarah said and brandished a perfect smile. "What would you like to order?" She said and Lucas looked at Damon.
"We would like two cups of Americano's, Not iced. And some glazed doughnuts." Lucas said and Sarah nodded.
"Alright, Coming right up," Sarah said with a small smile and walked away.
"Dude, you've been staring at her for some minutes. You're interested in her?" Lucas asked and Damon stared at him.
"You think I'm you who goes after every darned thing in a skirt?" Damon said and Lucas laughed.
"hey, is there anything like a good playboy, or bad playboy? Play boys are the same, bro, and you my man, are also a play boy." Lucas said and Damon laughed.
Sarah appeared with a tray with two cups of coffee and two plates of mini glazed doughnuts.
"Bon appetite." She said and walked away with a small smile.
Lucas's phone started to ring and he picked it up.
"Yes, Lucas Ferdinand speaking," Lucas said.
"What?!" Lucas said in shock. "We'll return to the office in a few minutes," Lucas said and ended the call.
"Why, what's the problem?" Damon asked and Lucas stared at him.
"Betty, just fell to her death, from the last floor of the building," Lucas said and Damon dropped his cup.
"What?!"

A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL Chapter 100 – Reckoning and Resolve
The first light of dawn seeped slowly through the towering glass windows of the Draven Tech penthouse, casting long shadows that stretched across the war room. Damon Draven stood at the center, his sharp eyes fixed on the array of screens that flickered with endless streams of data. His jaw was set, his mind racing through possibilities and contingencies. The company he had built with his blood and sweat was under siege, but the siege was far from over.“Elena,” Damon called without turning, “what’s the status on the bait project? Any movement from the mole?”Elena’s fingers danced across the keyboard, eyes flicking between lines of code and monitoring dashboards. “We went live with the fake project as planned twenty-four hours ago. So far, the bait has been touched twice. Both times, attempts were made to download files — but our tracking software flagged each access immediately. We’re currently tracing the digital fingerprints left behind.”Lucas Adams stepped in, his expression gri
A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL Chapter 99 – Shadows and Revelations
Chapter 99 – Shadows and RevelationsThe city was cloaked in a heavy silence that night, broken only by the distant hum of traffic and the occasional flicker of neon signs. Inside the glass walls of the Draven Tech penthouse, the atmosphere was charged with tension. Damon sat at the sleek black conference table, eyes fixed on the digital map glowing on the screen before him.“We’re dealing with someone who knows our every move,” Damon said, voice low and tense. “The mole is not just stealing data — they’re sabotaging projects, feeding false information, and trying to fracture us from within.”Lucas leaned forward, fingers steepled. “Elena’s findings confirmed it. This is professional — more than just a disgruntled employee. The encrypted files hidden in Marco Liu’s work folder are designed to mislead us. Someone is framing him.”Sarah, standing beside Damon, clenched her fists. “So who else has the knowledge and access to pull this off?”Lou, who had just arrived from a security sweep
A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL Chapter 98 – The Web Tightens
The sun was barely up, and yet the tension in the Draven Tech headquarters was already palpable. Damon Draven sat at the head of the long conference table, flanked by Sarah, Lucas, Lou, and Elena. The atmosphere was thick with exhaustion and resolve — the fight was far from over.Lucas tapped his tablet to bring up a dossier. “We’ve traced several anomalies in network access logs over the last three months. Three employees have been flagged for suspicious activity. One is on probation for insubordination, but the other two are clear on paper — which makes them even more dangerous.”Damon’s eyes narrowed. “Names. I want names.”Lucas flicked through the list. “Marissa Trent — senior project manager; Darren Holt — systems analyst; and Marco Liu — junior developer. Marissa’s probation is for leaking confidential project updates to a competitor last year, but Darren and Marco have clean records.”Lou added, “We’ve already installed surveillance cameras around their desks, and IT is monito
A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL Chapter 97 – Unseen Enemies
Morning broke with a muted gray light filtering through the tall glass windows of Draven Tech’s headquarters. The city was waking, but inside the building, an uneasy stillness reigned. Damon Draven sat at his sleek desk, staring at the glowing screen, a knot tightening in his stomach. His phone buzzed again — a new alert from the cybersecurity team.Lucas Adams, Damon’s closest friend and legal adviser, stood nearby, his expression grim. “Another attempted breach, Damon. This one was different.”Damon rubbed his tired eyes and leaned forward. “Different how?”Lucas pointed at the monitor. “It wasn’t some random external hack. The attacker had intimate knowledge of our systems — passwords, access codes, internal protocols. This was an inside job.”Damon’s chest tightened. “Someone we trust...?”Lou Adams, the head of security and Lucas’s younger brother, stepped in. “We’ve already fortified all external entry points. Whoever’s behind this has been inside the walls for months — maybe ev
A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL Chapter 96 – Rising Stakes
The morning after the penthouse sighting, Damon arrived at Draven Tech headquarters early, the city still wrapped in the quiet hush of dawn. The usual bustle of the office was tempered by an unspoken tension — everyone knew they were no longer just rebuilding a company; they were rebuilding a fortress.Lucas was already there, eyes glued to multiple screens in the security center.“Morning,” Damon said.Lucas didn’t look up immediately. “You’ll want to see this.”On the main monitor, security footage played back in grainy black and white. A shadowy figure had been spotted near the loading docks just after midnight. The silhouette was careful, methodical, and skilled at avoiding cameras.“That was no random trespasser,” Damon said, narrowing his eyes.“Agreed,” Lucas replied. “We’re dealing with professionals. The Syndicate is testing our defenses, probing for weaknesses.”Damon rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “If they’re this bold now, it means they’re regrouping faster than we expected
A BILLIONAIRE'S MARRIAGE DEAL Chapter 95 – Ghosts in the Shadows
Damon sat alone in the penthouse lounge, the city lights flickering through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The truth about Katrina’s staged death had hit him like a freight train—years of lies, deception, and hidden threats finally surfacing. He traced the rim of his glass, the amber liquid untouched.The media had spun the narrative endlessly: Katrina Andre, the brilliant yet dangerous tech genius who’d “ended her life” in that isolated Brooklyn townhouse. But Damon knew better now. He’d spent sleepless nights piecing together evidence—secret transfers, encrypted messages, shadow meetings—all pointing to a woman who had vanished, only to reappear in the darkest corners of his world.Sarah entered quietly, closing the distance without breaking his focus.“You’re still thinking about her,” she said softly.“I can’t stop,” Damon confessed. “It wasn’t just a faked death—it was a lie that almost destroyed everything. She’s been pulling strings from beyond the grave... or so we thought.”Sa
