Billionaire's Perfect Revenge

[MADDOX] “You are fired!”I could not break this news in simpler words than these, and I wasn’t reveling in the way she was ready to break down right in front of me, either. When someone did that, didn’t you feel a surge of guilt come at you from all sides, seeking to smother, strangle, and wreck you until you gave up or gave in?Yeah, that one. Nope. I didn’t feel that.“Oh, come on, Ms. Williams, we both knew this day was coming. Your probation period expired months ago, and you haven’t met a single target. No sale. No job.” I said it casually. I could hear the crackles of domineering power in my voice and didn’t have to estimate what it might be for Genevieve Williams, twenty-five, to be on the receiving end of.However, before Genevieve could respond legitimately on how and why she may still be a benefit to my firm, the door to my office cabin burst wide open, and a man in a crisp black suit came inside with all the authority in the world.The authority I did not remember giving

[ZARA]A little lie hurts no one, right?Since a very young age, I’ve struggled to contain my ever-growing temper. I still do. I don’t know.Maybe something is wrong with me. Maybe the nerves shooting emotions into the brain are shorter and faster in my case. Or maybe folks are just plain stupid. Could be anything, really.Like every other person in the world, I have my limitations. I don’t like myself, don’t think anyone does. Not with the temper that I always bristle with. After all, people stay away from those who make a scene. And the experience I have in that department, it’s impossible to break that record.But causing a scene and drawing unwanted attention to yourself doesn’t happen out of a hobby. No one enjoys the look of ‘what a weirdo’ people define them with. No one. Trust me.But sometimes, you just don’t have a choice. Or control, in my case. Although this time, there is a legitimate reason to support my actions.For the last few years, the men from R & R Developers have

[ZARA]“I have nothing to tell you. Simply get out of my restaurant!” Nicholas Samuel snapped with an angry sneer, pointing his fat finger at the door.I wish I could tell you I knew what was going on here. I couldn’t.Nicholas Samuel was the owner of the restaurant where I worked, and I had been the manager until he arrived at work this morning in a terrible mood and abruptly fired me. I had only taken three days off, and when I returned to work, this jerk sacked me in front of the entire crew.What’s with people humiliating me these days?I had been enraged ever since the incident at Richmond’s office. When I went to visit him the next day, as I had promised, he had taken a flight to New Jersey for an urgent meeting.I knew he was warding me off. What a wimp!“But—I don’t understand. How could you—how could this—what have I done? Is it because I took three days off from work? Is this—” He extended his hand to signal me to be quiet, not letting me finish.“It’s not about your damn le

[MADDOX]“I don’t understand. How hard could it be to find one man?” I heard myself shout.“Calm down, Maddox. We’re trying our best.”“You call this your best?” I scoffed. What the fuck was wrong with her? And how the hell could she be so calm? “I want some fucking results, Jade. I don’t know what you and your men are doing, but you’re getting me nowhere.”It had been nearly two years, and we hadn’t been able to get anything on Richard Milton. How could he just disappear? It’s impossible. Unless someone much more powerful pulled him under their wing. And that’s the mystery I couldn’t solve for the life of me. Who would want to make an enemy out of me? Who could be that stupid?But Jade was right. I needed to calm the fuck down because getting worked up was going to get me nowhere. It fucking got me into more shit if I’m honest.Like the time I had to deal with that demented girl who dared to slap me in my office, I couldn’t get that insult out of my head. It’s impossible to. Every ti

[MADDOX]“So, what do you say, Richmond?” asked the man in his early forties, sitting across the table, donned in a fine business suit and a crooked grin. “Are you happy with the deal? Should we proceed with the paperwork?”Joseph Bennett was a big name in the corporate world. He was a force to be reckoned with. The man had everything: money, power, and influence. I could even name some illegal businesses under his name. But that was a dark side everyone in this business world had. It was impossible to survive without one. Sometimes, one needed more than a clean reputation and a devious personality to get what one wanted. And right now, Joseph Bennett was desperate to have me on his side. I knew what his deal was. I knew about the losses his company in New Zealand was suffering while he sat here in this fancy restaurant, pretending he wasn’t about to go broke in the next few months.I admired his courage and dedication to fight till the end. But the sad truth was that he was like a fa
