Behind the Billonaire's Mask

Behind the billonaire's mask! Chapter 2 Sophie's POV As I arrived at the hospital, I saw Isabella waiting outside the emergency room. "Sophie!" She exclaimed, tears in her eyes. "How is she?" I asked, my voice shaking. "They are stabilizing her, the doctor will come out soon." I nodded, trying to stay calm. Just then, the doctor emerged, looking expressionless. "How is my mom?" I asked, tears threatening to fall. "Are you her daughter?" He asked. I nodded in affirmation. "Why didn't you bring her in all these days?" the doctor's tone was gentle, but laced with concern. "I...I didn't know it was this serious," I stammered. "Your mother has Stage IV Renal Cell Carcinoma, a type of kidney cancer. It's aggressive and requires immediate attention." My world crumbled. "Doctor, what is to be done?" Isabella asked, her voice cracking "We need to perform a nephrectomy to remove the affected kidney. But it's complex and costly." "Surgery?" I whispered. The doctor nodded.

Behind the billonaire's mask!Chapter 4Julian's POV "Hello, Marcus," I said, on the phone with my secretary. "I need you to draft another contract. Sophie seems hesitant, but I'm confident she'll come around."Marcus's voice was smooth on the other end. "Yes, sir. And what about the terms? Should I make any adjustments?""Yes," I replied. "Add that she is to move into my house immediately. And she needs my permission to leave the house."Marcus's pause was almost imperceptible. "Understood, sir.""But do you really have to do this?" My friend, Caleb, said immediately I ended the call. Caleb had been my best friend for many years. We had both met in the organisation as a fellow assassin, I had quit because of an incident a year ago, but Caleb is still in the business. "Yes." I replied curtly."But she's innocent. It's one woman who hurt you. Why are you taking your revenge on the other innocent woman?" he said in a low and urgent voice. I stood, pacing around the room. "You don't u

Behind the Billonaire's Mask Chapter 6 Julian's POV "Sophie's mother's health has worsened." Marcus said, on our way to my grandfather's house. "What do you mean worsened?" I demanded. "The doctor said she's developed complications from the surgery, and they are not sure when she'll wake up. "Get the best medical team on it." I ordered. "Already done, sir." We arrived at my grandfather's estate, and I stepped out of the car, my mind preoccupied. Her mother must not die if I don't want her to cancel the contract. Augustine Blackwood, my grandfather, sat behind his desk, his eyes piercing. "Julian, I've received disturbing news," he said. This old man is something! No greetings. "Regarding?" I asked, taking my seat. "A potential threat to our family's business empire." He said, rubbing his temple. My interest piqued. "Explain." My grandfather leaned forward. "One of our major investors is considering withdrawal. We need to persuade them otherwise."

Behind the Billionaire's mask!Chapter 8Sophie's POV I woke up to a gentle knock on my door, disorienting me for a moment. Julian never knocked; he always barged in. I couldn't even remember falling asleep. The last thing I recalled was video-calling Isabella, followed by an intense gaming session that left my fingers tingling.Shaking off the haze, I got out of bed and opened the door to find Evelyn standing in the hallway, her expression soft yet laced with something I couldn't quite place."Evy," I said, smiling as I stepped aside to let her in.Evelyn's presence was always a welcome surprise. Her visits always brightened my day, like a ray of sunshine breaking through a cloudy sky."Evy, aren't you going out again?" I asked, noticing she was now dressed in her casual attire, a vibrant sundress that highlighted her youthful energy.She settled onto my bed, fidgeting with her fingers, the way she always did when she was nervous. "I'm back already. Julian dropped me off while going

Behind the Billionaire's mask!Chapter 10Sophie's POV "Victoria!"Evelyn's eyes narrowed beside me.Victoria's gaze swept over me, her expression a mix of shock and disdain. "Well, well, well. Look at you," Victoria sneered, eyeing my new hairstyle."Quite the transformation. Julian's wife is looking more like a doll."Evelyn stepped forward, her voice firm."Victoria, back off."Victoria smirked."What do you want, Victoria?" I asked, my voice steady.Victoria's smile twisted into a menacing grin. "We need to talk." She said, beckoning me with a curled finger."What do you want to talk to her about?" Evelyn asked. "Wait...were you stalking us? How do you know we were here?""Do you think I have the time to be stalking you?" Victoria spat. "I'm a busy woman."Evelyn looked at her in disgust."What did you want to talk about?" I asked."Let's go to the cafe over there," Victoria said, nodding toward the cosy coffee shop across the street. "Evelyn, you can wait for us in the car."Ev
