CHLOE’S POV

The dress arrived at my office just before five p.m., delivered in a sleek black garment bag that came with a delicate silver tag attached to it. I unzipped it carefully, revealing a deep emerald satin gown with an open back and a very modest neckline. It was elegant, but if I had to be honest, it was breathtaking.

There was a small note pinned inside the garment bag: [WEAR THIS. DON’T BE LATE.]

I stared at the note, then at the dress, my thoughts spinning in my head. It was beautiful, almost too beautiful for me. My first instinct was to smile, but it faded away quickly.

Wearing this...being seen in it... walking into a public space with Alex Blackwood in something he had picked for me? That was fuel for every rumour that had already started circling around the office like wildfire.

Still, I hung it behind my door and tried not to think too hard about it.

I focused on the emails I was working on. Sorted through reports and tried to act like the dress didn’t exist.

  • Betrayed by One, Loved by the Billionaire    TOUCHDOWN

    CHLOE’S POV The jet touched down with a low rumble that vibrated through the cabin walls before finally ending in silence. I shifted in my seat, yawning as I tried to straighten my spine after a long while. Eighteen hours in the air, even with the expensive leather seats my butt had been on and the endless great service, it had drained me more than I wanted Alex to notice.He stood on his feet first, stretching as he reached for his jacket. His eyes turned to me. “Hey, did you manage to eat during the flight?”Caught off guard, I blinked. “Yes,” I said quickly, remembering the meal I’d forced myself to finish while he slept like a baby because he was used to flying for this long.“Good.” His lips curved into a familiar smirk that I was getting used to. “You realise how much longer this would’ve been if it were a commercial flight? Probably two stops before we’d even start to smell the Maldives. “That’s one of the blessings of being with the rich. No wasted time.”The arrogance

  • Betrayed by One, Loved by the Billionaire    FIRST CLASS

    CHLOE’S POVThe driver’s voice reaching my ears shook me out of my thoughts.“We’re here, ma’am” he said gently.I blinked, the words dragging me back to the reality I was in. My gaze slid toward the window, and the moment my eyes landed on the scene outside, the air caught in my throat.There was Alex.Leaning casually against one of his black cars, one hand tucked into his pocket, the other resting on the curve of Tatiana’s hip as if it made to be there. She was draped against him, her head tilted toward his chest, laughing at something he’d said to her.My grip on the seat tightened.“Wait,” I muttered to the driver, lifting a hand before he could move to open the door for me.He raised an eyebrow but stayed back in his seat. I couldn’t tear my eyes away. Alex’s fingers continued finding new areas of Tatiana’s waist, lingering, then sliding lower and lower. The intimacy of it made my chest ache in a way I couldn’t even give a name to. The ease in his touch, the comfort in h

  • Betrayed by One, Loved by the Billionaire    ROAD TRIP

    CHLOE’S POVThe sharp blaring sound of car horns yanked me out of a deep sleep. My eyes flew open, heart thudding fast in my chest, and I shot up in bed with my hair sticking in every possible direction it could find.I squinted at the glowing numbers on the digital clock. Too early for this. Way too early for it.The horn blasted again, rattling my barely-awake brain. “Oh, for crying out loud,” I muttered, pushing the blanket off and dragging myself to the living room window to see who it was.When I cracked it open, warm, humid Miami air rushed in, carrying the faint scent of car exhaust and ocean salt. I leaned out, blinking against the bright morning light.Down below, the driver stood by the sleek black sedan, arms crossed like he’d been waiting for me forever. He cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, “Ma’am, you have a trip today!”That’s when the fog in my head finally cleared. Alex. The phone call from last night. “Pack your things. We’re going on a trip.”“Oh,

  • Betrayed by One, Loved by the Billionaire    M.I.A

    CHLOE’S POVI shut the apartment door behind me and leaned against it for a while, letting the day's problems slide off my shoulders. The quiet inside wrapped around me like a blanket, though not the comforting kind...more like a reminder that I was alone.I tossed my bag onto the nearest chair I could find, the strap catching for a second before falling limp. A clap of my hands brought the lights back to life, casting a warm glow across the open living space. I still wasn’t used to how instant everything was here, the lights, blinds, and temperature. It was living inside one of the big tech commercials I used to see on TV.“Still feels like I’m house-sitting for a stranger,” I muttered under my breath.Kicking off my shoes one after the other, I headed to the couch and let myself sink into the cushions, stretching my legs until the tension in my calves slowly eased away. My phone was buried in my bag, but when I finally fished it out, the screen lit up with the notification that

  • Betrayed by One, Loved by the Billionaire    FAR FROM HOME

    CHLOE’S POVI didn’t even wait until the close of work. When I closed my laptop, I had my phone in my hand already ringing up Lois on the other side of the country.She picked up on the second ring. “Hey, I’m at work. And you sound like a woman who either got proposed to or punched by someone in the face.”I let out a humourless laugh. “Neither. But you’re not going to believe what happened this morning.”“Oooh, story time.” Her voice turned smug. “Hold on, let me head straight to the restroom.”I took a deep breath. “Remember that elegant brunette I told you I saw Alex with outside the building the other day?”“Mm-hmm. The one who looked like she had just stepped off a runway?”“Yeah. Her name’s Tatiana. I know because she crawled out from under his desk today while I was in his office having a business meeting with him.”There was a pause. Then Lois choked on her coffee. “I’m sorry...you said she what?”“You heard me.” My voice was flat. “I was talking to him about the Cros

    I stepped into Alex’s office, the click of the door closing behind me sounding far too loud in his otherwise way too quiet office. The folder of documents in my hands felt heavier than it should, the pages inside creased from how tightly I’d been gripping them. I crossed to the chair opposite his desk, straightened my blouse, and set the folder on the polished wood.He looked up from his laptop, his expression shifting from focused concentration to something a little softer. “Morning, Chloe.”“Morning,” I said, flipping open the folder. “I’ve got the updated figures for the Crossline project that you asked for.”But instead of reaching for it, he leaned back in his chair, studying me like I was some puzzle he couldn’t quite figure out. “How are you doing?”My brows pulled together. “I’m fine. Busy nowadays but fine.”“Just fine?” he pressed. “That’s not much of an answer.”I gave a faint, tight smile. “I don’t really do long emotional check-ins, especially during office hours, with th
