Chapter 11: Plans
Last Updated:
2025-04-28 17:30:52Anna spent the rest of the day devising plans on how to beat Liam at his own game. This one cocktail party, or whatever party it was, would play a key role in the direction her life would take from now onwards. It could either make her divorce process cheap, easy, and faster, or it could make it lengthy, messy, and very expensive. Anyone in their right mind would choose an easier route, but it came at a price. A worthy price compared to the alternatives.
Deep down, there was a teeny tiny piece of her heart that held hope that her marriage still had a chance. But the rest of her heart had been shattered too many times from years of neglect, together with her expectations that there was no longer a place to keep that love alive. Her heart was just a tiny fleck away from being completely frozen. But that tiny fleck kept giving her hope and encouraging her to press on, hold on just a little longer. Not to give

Billionaire's Firecracker chapter 28: starting over
It has been a full week since the accident. A full week of Anna lying on the hospital bed, confined to a room alone with her thoughts. Her head didn’t hurt as much, and her wound was healing nicely. A bit of hair had started regrowing on the shaved spot, and it prickled her fingers as she scratched the area near the healing wound. The bruises on her elbow and arms had healed, leaving scabs and black spots—that would take forever to fade. Lighter bruises had faded a lot.The doctor came to check on her an hour ago, and with a smile on his face, gave her the clearance to go home. Everything about her health was looking great except for the physical wounds—and a broken heart she’d rather not think about. But she was doing great, according to him, and she could go home.Liam had respected her wishes and didn’t show up in her room anymore—at least when she was awake. She had overheard nurses talking when they thought she was asleep. They praised Liam for taking good care of
Billionaire's Firecracker chapter 27: Leave
“Excuse me?” Liam strode in, still clenching the broken door handle. “I was away for a while, and my friend is busy stealing my wife!” Jake shrugged, standing up to face him.“Liam, leave!” Anna’s cold voice cut through the tension in the room. What the hell was he doing here? What right did he have to be angry, jealous, or whatever he was feeling? Anger rose to her chest, suffocating her. For once in her life, she didn’t want to see his sorry face.“I won’t leave.” Liam took a step closer, brushing Jake’s shoulder. “We have to get this clear.”“Isn’t it enough that your mistress sent in those paparazzi to annoy the hell out of me? Now you are here to annoy the remaining life out of me, too?” Anna exhaled, pinching the tension forming on her nose bridge. “Please, I’m tired.”“What reporters?” Liam’s face scrunched
Billionaire's Firecracker chapter 26: the paparazzi
Anna rolled her eyes, watching the paparazzi shuffle into her room. She would have face-palmed if every part of her body didn’t hurt. Three in total. How did they even pass through the security without being noticed? Something was indeed fishy. No one gets past hospital security carrying such enormous cameras without being noticed. That meant these reporters had received a go-ahead from the hospital. Only two people had the ability to authorize such a move. That narrowed down her culprits to either Liam or Melisa. Probably both. Were they in a hurry to make her life miserable? It’s not like the universe wasn’t making it hard enough for her already!“This is Anna.” One of the female reporters, who seemed to be the leader, pointed at Anna.“What are you doing here?” Jake jumped into action, startling the three paparazzi. It seemed they hadn’t anticipated the presence of another person in here. “Who the hell let
Billionaire's Firecracker chapter 25: awake
Anna lay on the bed, unable to move a muscle; her eyes were heavy and wouldn’t open. There was darkness all around her, and everything was quiet… except the occasional beeping sounds particular to a hospital. A sharp pain radiated from the back of her head, and her head hurt like hell. Something was definitely wrong. But at least she knew she wasn’t dead yet. Dead people don’t feel pain… at least that’s what people say.The door creaked open and closed with a soft click. The tapping of heels against the floor followed, and the tapping was aggressive, as if whoever walked in had a grudge with her.“Hello there, sleepy head,” Melisa announced, placing a bouquet of flowers on the small glass table beside the bed. Yeah, right. Of all the people, it had to be the one person Anna didn’t want to see. “I hope you never wake up from that sleep.”Anna struggled to say something, but nothing moved. It was
Billionaire's Firecracker Chapter 24: the truth
Liam hopped into his car, his heart racing, barely managing to calm his shaking hands. He started the engine and drove off the compound, hitting that accelerator like there was no tomorrow. Thoughts raced in his mind, and he felt like he could crush the whole world in his hands.How could these people be that reckless? How dare they slander her like that? It seemed even the universe was doing everything to ensure he ended up alone. Was this his punishment for ignoring her all those years? Was this his punishment for not realizing what a treasure he had? How was he going to get through this unexpected trouble?Less than an hour later, Liam pulled over at his company, barely managing to park the car properly before scrambling out. He rushed to his elevator, and for the first time, the super-fast elevators felt too slow. He had to get to his office fast.Ding!The elevators finally made it to the top floor, and he practically tumbled out even before the door
Billionaire's Firecracker chapter 23: This can't be happening!
An hour later, Liam pulled over at the old Parker mansion, surprising the residents. It was unlikely for him to show up at this mansion. His grandmother wasn’t asleep yet, and she sat by the fireplace, enjoying the gentle warmth of the fake fire. A pot of chamomile tea sat on the wooden coffee table beside her. She held a flowery teacup in her left hand and a book in the other. A subtle smile spread on her face as Liam walked into the room.“To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing my favorite grandson in the middle of the night?” she started, sarcasm dripping from her voice. “In case you were hoping to find me dead, I’m sorry to disappoint you.”“I’m fine, thank you, grandma,” Liam answered, taking a seat beside her, but making sure there was enough distance between them. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. “Thanks for asking.”“Oh, yes, I know you are doing fine, silly boy,” Grandma continued, unbothered. “Fine enough for you to defy me,” she refilled her cup with more
Billionaire's Firecracker chapter 22: don't leave me alone
“Doctor, how is she?” Liam asked, his body tensing.“The patient has a concussion due to the head trauma, and she is still unconscious, but her condition has stabilized.” He paused, his eyes carrying raw empathy as he glanced at Liam again. “They are finishing up the tests and will then transfer her to a ward. Good news, we did not find any major damage in any of her vital organs.”“Whew!” Liam heaved a sigh of relief, his tense shoulders relaxing. He ran a finger through his hair, feeling the tension leaving his body. “What about the blood? She was bleeding somewhere on her head when she fell. How is that?”“Yes,” the doctor nodded, maintaining eye contact. “She does have a cut at the back of her head, but luckily it wasn’t a deep c
Billionaire's Firecracker Chapter 21: How is she?
“ANNA!” Liam screamed, watching Anna’s body make contact with the car. A shock ran through his system, and for a moment, everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. He dashed towards her, taking wide steps, but he was still late. He only managed to touch the fringe of her dress before her head touched the floor.The culprit swerved, screeching tires filling the tense silence, before driving off. He didn’t even bother to check out the conditions of his victim. A classic case of hit and run. It almost seemed like a premeditated murder, not a pure accident. Either that, or it was a case of drunk driving.“Anna,” he called, kneeling beside her, his knees hitting hard on the asphalt, but he didn’t care. She was his priority. He shook her shoulders, his hands trembling, and his heart slamming against his rib cage. His chest tightened, panic taking over her entire being, and his breath became ragged and heavy.&ldqu
Billionaire's Firecracker chapter 20: Let's go home
Liam ignored Melisa and walked towards Anna, pulling her into an embrace. “Anna, let’s go home.”“Home? What home?” Anna stiffened in his embrace, her arms dropping to her sides. She wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and melt into him. Every cell in her body convinced her that that was the right thing to do. She couldn’t forget what he just did to her hours ago. Her head told her she should push him away, flee from here, and move on with her life.But he smelled so good. So good that she couldn’t resist the temptation to inhale his scent. Her heart picked up its pace and those damn butterflies in her stomach started a crazy flutter party. The woodsy scent she loved so much flooded her senses, and her arms, as if they had a mind of their own, wrapped around his back, her forehead resting on his chest.“Liam, I don’t have a home, Anna whispered, slowly backing up from the embrace. “What I do have is a cold mansion. I don’t want to live there anym
