ARROW’S POV

After a moment, he spoke again in his low gravelly voice: "You're playing a game you don't understand, Mr. CEO," he said. "And you're going to lose."

My heart started pounding as I tried to stay composed. "Who are you?" I demanded.

The voice laughed. "You know exactly who this is," it said. "And soon enough, you'll know what I'm really after."

The line terminated, leaving me with my phone in hand, pondering what's next from this mysterious man.

For a minute, I sat there going through all the possibilities in my mind. Who was this strange guy? What could he possibly want from me and my company? I mentally reviewed previous encounters trying to match distant memories against anything remotely pointing toward answers.

Resolute for getting to the bottom of it, I convened a meeting with my security team, to whom I delegated the assignment to trace the call. All security footage was also requested for them to find any leads about the mysterious man's identity.

  • A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE   CHAPTER 150

    ARROW’S POV “Fuck yes,” I pant, my hands on her hips, guiding her, but she doesn’t need any help. “You feel so fucking good.” Kalmia leans down, her breath hot on my ear. "I want you to fuck me harder." Kalmia said. I don’t need to be told twice. I roll her onto her back and pin her body on the bed. I deliver hard thrusts while our bodies come together with force. Her fingers dig into my back as she moans. “Yes, yes, yes,” she chants, her pussy clenching around my cock. Her orgasm builds inside her body with muscles contracting and releasing against me. My fingers grip her clit as I lower myself down. I move my digits in circular motions as her body trembles beneath my touch. “I’m close,” she gasps, eyes squeezed shut. I feel myself getting close too. I can feel my balls tighten up, and I start to fuck her harder, my fingers pumping her clit faster. “Come for me, Kalmia,” I growl, cock aching inside her. And she does. She screams loudly, her pussy milking my cock as she come

    JEMIMA’S POV The Morning After The office was buzzing. Same as always, pre-workings of a hive. Same as any other morning. But not for me. I was in orbit. Floating. Walking on clouds. Eryx and I had shared small knowing glances across our open-plan office a few times that morning and I could not contain the flush on my cheeks, the tight feeling in my throat from the knowledge that we shared a secret between us. A secret from the night before that vibrated through the air like electricity. I opened and shut files, I sat in meetings and meetings, and tried to pretend to be a normal human being. But in the sanctuary of my own thoughts I played back his voice, his hands, his smile. A beautiful problem. It most certainly was that. I was frowning at an email trying to figure out who, on earth, I would send an email to that made no sense when suddenly the entire office was cast in a silent hush and people began to crane their necks toward the main door. There he was. Eryx. Although he was

  • A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE   CHAPTER 148

    OZZY’S POV “There’s a reason for that,” I said at last, not looking at him but at the empty blackboard behind him. “My… past isn’t like most people’s. And my mother… my mother was **Visha**.” Ahvi's eyes became wide open while he momentarily stopped crying. No one whispered the name **Visha** in this town. The name **Visha** appeared etched into this location's foundations and it remained present after five years. **They all knew the story. The legend. The horror. ** “Visha?” he asked, voice so quiet that he seemed not to believe his own ears. “But… what?” He gazed at me and found an unintended exhaustion in my eyes. “She was my mother. My biological mother. And, no. No. **I never agreed with what she did. Not once. I saw what she was doing. The destruction. The horror. **” I paused, because those memories tasted foul in my mouth. “I… I tried to fight her, tried to talk to her. But you can’t reason with a monster. She told me that I was weak, that I was a bleeding heart. In the en

  • A DEAL WITH THE BILLIONAIRE   CHAPTER 147

    GAVIN’S POV The door to the warehouse creaked shut. It was over. I stood motionless for a moment, alone with the silence and the last feeble pleas dying on her lips. There was no great sense of satisfaction, no swell of emotion. Only a quiet, cold feeling that the score was settled. It wasn't the first time that I thought of my father, a good man, whose life she had ended without a second thought. I was his arrow, swift and true. She had built her life on fear, on breaking the human spirit. I'd seen it, time and time again: the empty eyes, the ravaged minds, the empty husks of people who were once filled with lives, loves, families. I'd hunted her for years, driven not just by some warped sense of balance, but because she was the destroyer of my family, my enemy. I found her and we talked. Her attitude displayed arrogance mixed with a delusional belief in her own invincibility. As her wrists and ankles felt the pressure of ropes she sneered and spat before attempting to manipulate

    KALMIA’S POV Arrow sat up, and set the phone down. He took my hands. “Breathe, Ava. Look at me.” I tried. But I was trembling. Fear had set in. “You know what she did. What she’s capable of. You know how much she hates me.” “She’s not coming near you ever again.” Arrow maintained a steady tone throughout his statement. Our experiences and people have changed since we lived six years ago. Her freedom exists but she possesses no control over you now. “She tried to burn my whole life down.” “She failed.” I looked up at him. The certainty in his eyes was an anchor. Arrow lifted me up into his arms while holding my head against his chest. I could feel his heartbeat. Strong. Steady. So different from my own. “You’re safe, Ava. I swear it.” We sat for a long time, both of us staring at nothing. “I can’t let her near Dawn.” I whispered at last. “She knew about Dawn. She used to talk about what she’d do if she ever saw her…” Arrow pulled back, cupping my face. “Then we stay

    KALMIA’S POV I was in the kitchen fast. The scent of home sunk deep into my bones and soaked them, soothing them like a tonic. The walls were warmer; the silence gentler. I wasn’t on edge or berating myself for still being. I wrapped the scarf around my head and pulled on a fresh pair of shorts and tank top before digging around in the cabinet. Something easy but filling, something that smelled like peace. I was chopping onions. But something compelled me to slam the knife against the cutting board. I looked up through my watery eyes, pushing my hand behind them. I was not sure if it was the sting of onions or the choking artist in me. I was so focused that I only then realized he was behind me, holding me around the waist. “Oh!” I yelped. “Arrow! You scared me.” He nuzzled against my neck. “I missed you cooking. Smelling like home. You.” “Finish cooking first,” I said while chopping onions but my lips kept twitching from overwhelming joy. “I understand,” he murmured int
