Breaking the Billionaire Code Crossroads
Stacey’s mom had been going for regular hospital checkups, and each time it was harder than the one before. The doctors had given her medication to keep her well and steady as they prepared for surgery. But the clock was ticking— But time was short—and Stacey felt it deep down. Every pill her mom took felt like more money she didn't have. Working at Sunny’s Diner helped a little, but not enough. Between empty cupboards, mounting hospital bills, and overdue utility bills, even basic groceries were now a luxury. The crumpled bills in her apron barely kept the lights on—if they stayed on at all.So when Gloria offered an extra night shift, Stacey said yes. Even if she was running on fumes. Even if her legs ached and her back screamed. Her mom was counting on her.The diner was quiet at night with Late eaters, truck drivers, and those with no other place to go. Stacey went from table to table, gathering plates and giving a phony smile if necessary.She had just cleaned a booth in the ba
Breaking the Billionaire Code Sunny's and Sacrifice
It had been seven days since her mom came back from the hospital. Their home was now more still like the air was thin. Her mom, who used to talk a lot and move fast, now took careful steps, and her eyes lacked their usual spark. Stacey spent many nights watching her mom rest, scared that her mom’s breathing might just halt. The doctor had said it clear—Stage 2 pancreatic cancer. Immediate treatment needed. Radiation. Chemotherapy. Surgery, if possible. But all Stacey heard was money, money, more money.She skipped the last week of her senior exams without telling anyone. What was the point? College was a distant dream now. The only thing that mattered was keeping her mom alive.So she hit the streets.Stacey walked block after block through her neighbourhood, looking at each window for a "Help Wanted" sign. Each step made her heart feel even more down. She saw old stores, tired shop-owners, and food spots that looked so unkempt that they might be shut down soon. But she didn't mind.
Breaking the Billionaire Code Ashes of the Girl I Was
A bright, old diner sign met Aria as her taxi moved down the broken road of the place she once knew as home. Miami's air felt more full than she recalled—thick, not just with wet air, but with old times. As the cab drove off, she stood still for a bit, looking at the old front of a cheap motel wedged between a pawn shop and a left-behind wash place. She checked in quietly under the name Aria Blake. The space was tiny, the light low, but it was spotless and private—just as she wanted. Her bag hit the floor, and she fell onto the bed, tight all over, even though it was soft under her. It was a long trip, and what followed would be much more so.With her legs crossed, she sat on the bed with her laptop open after grabbing a sandwich from a neighboring store. She barely looked over some client emails with deadlines, questions, and the usual stuff—but just glanced over them. Her fingers stopped above the keyboard, yet she felt no words to type. She picked up her phone. Still off.She ex

Killian shut his car door hard and ran up the steps to Mia's place. He barely knocked before Ethan opened up, his face sad. "She's not there," Killian said sharply, moving past him. “The beach house was empty. No sign of her.”Mia stood up, her face full of worry. “Killian—”"When did she go?" he asked, his eyes moving all over the room like Aria might still be there. "What did she say to you? Did she mention going anywhere?”Mia took a deep breath, her voice shook. "The last time I laid eyes on her, she was putting her stuff together. She was… steady. Nervous, yes, but ready. Hopeful even.”Killian’s jaw tensed.“But then the headlines dropped,” she continued. “I called her. She answered, but she didn’t say anything. Just… silence on the other end. I kept calling her name. She didn’t respond.”Killian's hands turned into tight balls. "If I had gotten there fast, maybe—maybe she wouldn't have felt so alone." Ethan stepped in quickly. “Killian, don’t do that to yourself. You couldn
Breaking the Billionaire Code Smoke and Mirrors
The VIP room had soft jazz and low lights. Chloe settled in style, her designer shoe swinging just a bit as she sipped her drink. Andrew sat across from her, laid back but sharp, with a neat scotch in his hand. He raised his glass. “To a job well done,” he said smoothly. "You performed nicely, Chloe."She grinned as she tilted her head. “Please, you gave me the gasoline. I just lit the match.”Andrew offered a faint grin. He didn’t mention the satisfaction curling in his chest—seeing Killian dragged as well into the spotlight, seeing the whispers swell around his name and company. That part wasn’t for Chloe. She didn’t need to know how far he wanted to push this. Or why."And all I needed to do was let go of the file, just as we talked about," she went on, twirling her drink, her red lips forming a pleased smile, “the rest was pure journalism—or what they call it these days.”Andrew sat back, his lips slowly curving into a cool smile. “People love secrets,” he said evenly. “Especiall

Aria was seated at the rear of the plush, white sofa. Open windows of the beach house let in the salty scent as well as the quiet sound of waves washing against the beach. It was soothing, too soothing for the tense night she expectedBut somehow, since she and Killian agreed to meet here, she’d felt more at peace than anxious. She was ready to speak.Ready to tell him everything.Ready to stop letting her past dictate her silence.She retrieved her phone and started to look through Instagram while waiting. She grinned at some hilarious memes and videos. Then—A headline cut through her feed like a knife.“Aria Blake Exposed: The Woman Behind the Lens Once Danced for Dollars.”Her finger hovered. She didn’t click at first. She just stared.No breath. No thought. Just the burn of disbelief rising in her chest.She opened the article.And there it was.A photo of her.Her face. Her body.But not in anything she had worn that night. The picture was manipulated, made into something ugly
