Anna:

I am seated beside the window of a very cheap bistro, a plate of partly burnt omelette and bacon resting on the table, the smell is stale like the rest of the bistro. Old country music plays from the jukebox, making it hard for me to concentrate. I already texted Alisha to meet me here by this time from my burner phone.

I hope that bitch turns up, she’s the only key to making this all work. It has been thirty minutes, and I haven’t touched my food one bit, the waiter with the horrible make-up is giving me a side eye and I force myself not to roll my eyes, it’s freaking seven in the morning!

“Did you hear about Robert Brookes’ death?” The teenagers behind me ask each other, eyes wide.

“Yes, man, it was horrible.” Another says, and I look away from them.

Probably all New Yorkers have heard of the death of Robert Brookes, a heart attack? Well, I don’t have any relations with the Brookes, so it’s not as if I am supposed to be feeling sorry for them, I am just here to get my job done.

  • A Deal With The Billionaire   Epilogue II:

    Theo:“Theo, my boy! Thank you for the pumpkin pie last night, my granddaughter and I enjoyed it!” My new neighbour, Rupert, calls out to me from his house. He has one of those kind smiles you see on grandpas these days.I squint into the sun, waving back. “No problem, Rupert, anytime! I am always happy to bake for you and your grand-daughter.” I yell, he nods his head, giving me a creased smile before entering the house. I close the door and go join Daphne in the kitchen, where she’s nursing a cup of coffee on the stool.“This place is so quiet. Are you sure you don’t miss the bustling of New York? Do you enjoy staying here all by yourself?” She asks, sighing.I smile a bit, honestly leaving everything behind and coming to Boone, North Carolina has been the best decision I have ever made. I consider this as a fresh start, the locals are pretty friendly, including my neighbour, Rupert who lives next door with his granddaughter, Drea.In the past few months, I have gathered all my fami

  • A Deal With The Billionaire   Epilogue I:

    Wanda:A year later,How fast does time fly? I can’t really say, I went from a bitter (okay, maybe not so bitter) woman working in ClaraVogue to a happy woman who co-owns A & W collectives, our business has been good, last week, I caught a glimpse of one the jewellery I designed on the queen of England’s neck. I had jumped on Liam and kissed him passionately.Liam and I have been stronger this year, yes. We have had fights, but we have also shared laughter, love and a home together.“You ready?” Liam drags the travelling bag down the stairs, hair framing his forehead. He looks cute whenever he’s flustered; Liam and I are spending two weeks in the U.K in celebration for the release of his new book, ‘Kiss before the kill’ It’s a part thriller, part romance, it is about an assassin who fell in love with the person she is meant to kill. Guess who helped write the steamy penthouse kiss scene? Me.Liam dedicated the book to me and since its release last month, the book has grossed number on

  • A Deal With The Billionaire   Chapter 71:

    Arya:It is my wedding day today.I have always imagined my wedding day would be in a church chapel with all my extended families screaming on top of their lungs and somebody tipping over the ten layer cake. I imagined taking ridiculous photos with my future husband and all my bride maids, well anyways. That was when I was ten years old, blabbing to Emily, Nicole and Emma just because my parents grounded me.Things have changed now, instead of a huge wedding chapel, the wedding is taking place on the same cruise ship that we met, that Devon proposed. He said, “It was where we started, Arya.” Who knew my soon to be husband is such a huge romantic? I stare at the full length mirror, admiring the wedding dress that Clara and I spent a month designing. The white dress is a silk-satin masterpiece, the neckline plunges just enough to make Devon stare at me all day, the off-shoulder sleeves are embroidered with tiny diamonds sparkling against the light and let’s not forget the slit, reveali

  • A Deal With The Billionaire   Chapter 70:

    Arya:A week later,Devon is so full of surprises, who knew the vacation he had in mind was the cruise ship that we met. He even booked the whole cruise ship. Devon told me to settle in the en suite and make myself comfortable. I roll my luggage into the en suite, closing the door behind me.The air inside is cool with the faint scent of lavender and sea salt. Damn, this place is exactly like months ago, well except I didn’t get an en suite, just a normal room. The suite is to die for. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the endless ocean, the sun is already starting to set, casting an orange glow in the room. The king-sized bed, all black sheets, looks soft as hell.A bottle of champagne rests in a bucket of ice on the glass table. I roll the suitcase over the glossy black tile and let it rest against the wall; to the left is the bathroom. I run my hands through my hair, feeling the calmness of the vacation already starting to rush at me. Devon was right, I really did need this rest. I ki

    Roy:Hudson and I are in Golden Retreat waiting for Leto and Xavier to join us. Hudson has already made himself comfortable by ordering a Ritz sidecar that is worth a thousand dollars since it’s on the house. And even though I can literally order any expensive as hell cocktail drink, I decide to go with the complimentary water because I wasn’t raised with spending a thousand dollars for a drink.“This place is so freaking dope, man. I am so glad we quit the silver vipers.” Hudson says, taking a sip from his drink. He closes his eyes and moans. “Damn, this is good.”I sigh, we are both in a corner, watching how rich men clad in suits make business deals, we don’t belong here at all. After Alisha’s death, I finally summoned the courage to quit the silver vipers. Hudson was against the idea at first because he didn’t want to get hurt but he agreed and now, we are trying to get on Xavier and Leto’s good side so they can protect us from silver vipers.You can’t just quit a mafia group and
