"What?" Diane asked, snatching Ryan's phone. "Who was it then?"

"He...he asked to meet up to tell us," Ryan answered from over her shoulder as they both stared at the text which the driver had sent.

Diane's mind wandered further. If it wasn't just an accident, it meant someone intentionally wanted her dead. But she couldn't place her hand accurately on who could have wanted her dead when she was just Diane Winters, who headed Belmont's Luxe Division. In honesty, her first guess would have been

  • Billionaire King's Heiress    40- Partners

    "Hey baby," Nathan said to Diane, leaning down to press a soft peck on her lips before settling down beside her."Hey.""Eww, get a room, please." Lea grimaced, waving her hand dramatically in front of her face. "Not if we want to put on a free show for you, you know." Diane teased, laughing.Lea shook her head, hissing, "Kill me already."Nathan chuckled at both of them.They were out at the Island's beach, where they were going to have the games and probably the bonfire. The beach was within walking distance since it wasn't too far from the Villa and Montclair. The games and bonfire were optional, though. If Lea had not pulled up to Diane's building in a dramatic hat, a sexy bikini with a scarf tied around her waist, a loud encouraging voice that sounded like it could power the whole island, and large lollipops, she would have honestly just laid in bed for the day. Or continued sightseeing on her own. She had not noticed Michael around, so she figured, as usual, that he had prob

  • Billionaire King's Heiress    39- Hot swimmer

    Diane opened her eyes, blinking lazily as the early morning sun crept into her bedroom through the blinds. She yawned, stretching both arms over her head as she lengthened her body. She reached for her phone on the nightstand and checked the time to see it was just a few minutes past seven. There was already a text from Ryan, and she tapped on it, clicking the link he had sent her. It led her to the morning article with the bold headline, 'DEVERAUX HEIRESS DELIVERS AN AWESOME SPEECH DESPITE NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE.'She laughed a bit, seeing it. Her speech last night did go well. After the accident, Lea and Nathan had helped calm her down, and she had stepped up and given the speech even without the brief that had mysteriously disappeared. The crowd had applauded her, especially after she had spoken on the Blue Haven project. And by the time the speeches were over and the partying had started, her partners for the Blue Haven project had come to assure her that the deal was practical

  • Billionaire King's Heiress    38- In his arms

    Diane's body trembled with fright, and her heart pounded in her ears, almost deafening her. From nowhere, she heard screeching cars jamming in the traffic and the horns going off, blasting in her ears. The harsh light from the vehicles shone on her face, and she shut her eyes, wanting to make it go away. She heard voices screaming and asking if she was okay, and a tear travelled down her cheek as she pressed her lips together. Her eyes were still tightly shut, and her hands had travelled up to cover her ears as the loud crash happened. Diane?" Michael called out to her, cutting through the chaos."Diane," He shook her softly. "Snap out of it, you are okay. I'm here."Diane's body jerked up in shock, and her eyes flew open. The first thing she saw was Michael. His hand was cradling the back of her head, and his arm was wrapped protectively around her.She blinked rapidly and looked around. She saw that she was in a dimly lit corner with Michael, while the broken LED fixture lay on the

  • Billionaire King's Heiress    37- Ballroom dinner party

    "And set. You're all good to go. You look so beautiful, Diane. You're going to kill everyone with your glamour this night." Lea clapped, grinning as she inspected Diane's dress. They were in Diane's room, with Diane seated in front of the dresser while Lea stood behind her, helping her get ready for the night. Diane studied her reflection, "You don't think it looks so... I don't know, too dressy to wear while giving my speech tonight?" "When has being too dressy ever been a crime?" Lea asked, shrugging. "You look fine, trust me. And smile!" She added, her phone's flashlight going off multiple times as she circled Diane, taking photos of her dress. "For the gram, babes."Diane nodded, "Well, if you say so. What-"Lea's phone suddenly rang, and she put a finger up at Diane, bringing her phone to her ear, "Yes, Daddy, I told you I was done dressing up." Then she pointed to her phone and mouthed to Diane that she'd meet her later. Then she hurried out. Diane chuckled, turning back at

  • Billionaire King's Heiress    36- Warming up

    Diane dropped into the bed in her room the moment Ryan left after keeping her luggage. She stretched out her hands on the soft bedding. She had changed from the villa to another place called Montclair. Montclair was like a large compound or private estate, segregated from the rest of the villa and consisting of just four blocks. Diane had learnt that Montclair was off limits and reserved exclusively for the hosts. And since Deveraux was co-hosting, it meant she was allowed to stay there as well. Which was good because she did actually need the peace and quiet. And at least now, she was going to be away from Michael and avoid having to see him for as long as possible. Her phone buzzed, and Nathan's text popped up on her screen. Nathan: Are you all settled down now, baby?"Diane:Yeah, I just got in. Nathan: Glad to hear that. Another meeting just came up. Something unexpected happened. But I'll be sure to see you tonight, and I'll tell you all about it. I'm sorry."Diane:Haha.

  • Billionaire King's Heiress    35- We are not together

    Diane watched his face, searching for any sign of whether he was being serious. But then again, Michael wasn't one to bluff. So he was, actually serious. But the reason why he was giving it to her did leave her skeptical "You had your little research done on me and discovered that I was going to acquire Crown and Bell's." Diane started. "Then you went ahead and bought it just to be petty. You proceeded to rub it in my face. And now you want me to have it?" Michael was silent for a while. He knew she was right, and he almost didn't have anything to counter what she had just said. He tapped his fingers on the expensive leather of his car's backseat and pressed his lips together. " That was wrong of me. And I genuinely want you to have it. It's my first apology gift to you."Dianes eyes travelled down to the documents again as he dropped it on the space between them. "Apology gift?" "Yes," He replied. "For what exactly?" She asked. Was it from buying Crown and Bell's? For calling h

    The party was halfway through already. Guests were seated, the waiters doing a perfect job by making sure everyone had everything they needed at their tables.

    *2 and a half years later* "A beer wouldn't be so bad now, don't you think Ryan?" Diane asked as she spun lazily in her swivel chair from the window view in her office back to her office table. Her office table was made out of Teak. It was rich, expensive, refined, and alluring, adding a unique bl
