The voice transmission ended with the fading echoes of Sammy’s desperate cries.

Micheal sat motionless at his desk, the sleek transmitter resting silently in front of him like a loaded weapon that had already discharged. The room was quiet—eerily so—but within him, something unholy stirred.

From behind the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, the city moved, indifferent and unknowing. To an onlooker, Micheal appeared calm, even statuesque—his back straight, one hand resting on the desk, the other idly twirling a silver pen between his fingers.

But his eyes...

His eyes were ice-cold flames.

Betrayal didn’t surprise him. He had built his empire on understanding the darkness people carried behind polite smiles. But this—this was different. This was personal.

Sammy.

The name alone pulsed in his mind like poison.

She had orchestrated a moment so vile, so insidiously cruel, that it had altered the course of Yvonne’s entire life. A woman who now lay in his bed at night. Who laughed with h

  • Billionaire Daddy for sale    A Ring Across the Silence

    The room was dead silent, save for the soft hum of the AC and the low rustle of papers being flipped.Micheal sat at the head of the boardroom table, a sea of executives seated around him, discussing merger projections and shareholder expectations. His face was unreadable, the same composed expression he always wore in meetings, the same mask of control that made him an enigma to even his closest staff.But then…His personal phone buzzed.Just one ring. That was all it took to rupture his entire composure.He didn’t glance at the screen immediately. He never did—not during meetings. But something about the timing, the way his chest suddenly tightened, made his hand slide toward the phone with a kind of instinct he couldn't explain.His eyes widened.Yvonne.Her name glowed on the screen like a lifeline he hadn’t dared to hope for.His heartbeat spiked, thunderous in his ears. For days—no, for nights—he’d fought the urge to call her, text her, drive all the way to her parents’ home ju

  • Billionaire Daddy for sale    A Fool

    David didn’t bother knocking. He stormed into the IT department, his strides long and unrelenting like he owned the gigantic organisation, a testament to the leeway he was granted by the higher up upon Micheal’s mother’s influence. His expression was sharp enough to silence anyone who dared to speak. Sammy looked up from her desk, startled by the fury in his eyes and his arrival at her department without notice.“Come with me,” he said, voice low and tight with barely contained rage.She frowned. “What—?”“Now, Sammy,” he snapped with gritted teeth, already turning his back.Sammy stood reluctantly, muttering apologies to her team as she followed him. Her heels clicked rapidly behind him, trying to keep up as they made their way through the corridor. She could feel tension radiating from his frame, stiff and volatile.Her mind raced. What the hell had set him off like this?She was supposed to be upset, not him.They didn’t stop until they reached the emergency stairwell, one of the f

  • Billionaire Daddy for sale    Plan in motion 2

    Micheal had never been one to rush his moves. Every step he made was calculated, deliberate. And now, his plan was finally taking shape. It wasn’t just about revenge—it was about balance. About consequences. He wasn’t going to lift much of his fingers to destroy David and Sammy. He was going to let them destroy each other. All he had to do was expose the truth—and let the rot eat its way through their little empire. He had taken a step back and observed. Let them feel safe. Let them think they hadn't been found out. It will made their downfall even more satisfying. He’d already identified the pressure points. David’s ambition. Sammy’s obsession. He knew what had driven them. And he knew how to make them lose it all. Sammy, for all her manipulations, didn’t care about wealth. No—what she wanted was permanence. A life with David. Security in the man she had clawed her way into. She had the skills, no doubt. If left alone, she would’ve done fine climbing the corporate ladder

  • Billionaire Daddy for sale    A plan in motion 1

    Micheal hadn’t moved from the same spot in hours. He had just tucked the kids into bed and slipped quietly onto the terrace outside their room.The night was still. The air held a gentle chill, the kind that slipped beneath the skin and settled deep in the bones. Birds chirped softly in the distance, and the wind rustled the trees, but even that felt far away—like he was underwater, drowning in everything he wished he’d done differently.She was gone.Yvonne had left him.She hadn’t said much—her words were soft but sharp, laced with pain. He could still hear her voice, low and trembling: “You should’ve told me. All this time, you knew something, didn’t you?”He had tried to explain, to reach for her hand, but she’d pulled away. Her eyes, once filled with cautious affection, now brimmed with something heavier—betrayal.And just like that, the air had left the room.An hour later, he was back in his study.Micheal paced the floor barefoot, his shirt rumpled, sleeves rolled to his elbow

  • Billionaire Daddy for sale    Not a bad man

    The quiet hum of the ceiling fan was the only sound that filled the room for a long while. Yvonne sat propped up against her pillows, a warm blanket tucked around her legs, and her mother seated close beside her on the edge of the bed. The soup bowl sat in Anna’s lap, and she offered spoonfuls to her daughter between soft words and careful glances.“To say your father is trying would be an understatement,” Anna said gently, brushing a stray curl from Yvonne’s cheek. “He’s doing everything in his power to hold himself together… and to redeem himself the only way he knows how.”Yvonne gave a soft nod, accepting the next spoonful.“David was arrested. But… they had to release him,” Anna continued with a sigh, her voice growing brittle. “There just wasn’t enough evidence. Not yet. But your father—he’s not letting this go. He’s digging. Talking to people. Trying to make something stick. He wants to see that man locked away.”Yvonne let out a breath, slow and even, the soup lingering on her
