BELLE

“This is just a dumb idea. I should have turned him down the moment he asked me out on a date. What the hell was I even thinking?” I paced around the room, stressed from the mere thought while Kara lay on my bed, completely ignoring me as she typed on her phone.

“Why are you even here if you're not going to help?” I let out a groan.

I can't remember the last time I went on a date. Maybe when I was with Rowan? That was ages ago, and I suddenly don't know how to act.

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    Redemption

    ZALDEN “Belle!” I called, almost chasing after her when Valerie grabbed my hands. Her frown deepened.“What are you doing alone with her?”She gave me that accusing look. If anyone were watching, they'd think I was cheating on her.Again, Belle was right. The world wouldn't care if what we had was true or not. They'd haunt her down if I didn't end things properly with Valerie and now is the best time.If I want to pursue Belle properly, the least I could do is give her stability, and that begins with clearing unnecessary rumors.“You are not cheating on me, are you?” I raised an eyebrow, letting a smirk creep onto my face. “Cheating on you?”“Cheating is a strong word, don't you think?” I continued smoothly. “For me to cheat, we have to be a thing. And none of this is true. I think you're enjoying this little charade so much that you forgot your place.”Her face flushed, but she didn't back down.“Is this because of her?’“No,” I said firmly. “It’s about finally choosing what I shou

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    Bad Timing

    BELLE “It’s you I like.” His words beat in my head like music on replay. My heart did that stupid thing again— tightening, fluttering, like it hadn't learned its lesson.How ridiculous. How could something so simple unravel years of anger? Years of humiliation. Of silence. Of pretending I didn't care. And yet… they were slipping through my fingers as they had never mattered at all. I hated that.I took a step back, shaking my head, trying to ground myself.“What?” He asked quietly. “You don’t believe me?” His eyes searched mine for an answer, and all I could do was laugh.“If you were me, would you?” My voice came out colder than I intended. “One minute you're parading around with your fiancée. A woman who made it very clear she despised me, might I add. And the next minute I'm the one you like?”I folded my arms, needing something to hold onto.“You don't expect me to feel honored, do you?” I continued. “Because that doesn't feel flattering, Zalden. It feels like a slap in the fac

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    Confession

    BELLE Zalden stepped in with Valerie next to him, and my stomach churned instantly. Watching them together, even for a second felt like a punch straight to my gut.I turned away before either of them could notice me and headed for the kitchen, my heels clicking a little too fast against the floor. I needed a drink. Anything to drown the sudden tightness in my chest.I was reaching for a bottle when Kara walked in behind me.“I should have informed you about him,” she said softly, guilt flickering in her eyes. “Andrew invited everyone and I…”“It's fine,” I cut in quickly, forcing a smile that didn't quite reach my eyes. “You didn't do anything wrong. It's your night, don't let me ruin it.”Kara's eyes searched mine like she didn't believe a word I said. “Belle—”“Seriously,” I said, twisting the bottle open. “I'm okay.”“If you need anything, I'll be right here.”“The celebrant can't go missing,” I pushed her playfully with a forced smile,She gave me a worried look before finally r

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    Birthday and Proposal 

    BELLE Kara looked absolutely stunning in the dress, and I was glad that we didn't give it up at the store. It hung around her curves perfectly, highlighting her physique like it was made just for her and I knew no one could steal her shine tonight.Her makeup was nicely done, and the smile that played on her face just completed everything. “Girl, you look so beautiful,” I breathed, staring at her reflection through the mirror.“Of course, I am. It's my birthday,” she giggled, and I shook my head. I still don't know how she managed to have this child-like excitement over everything, but I hope it never fades away.I slipped into the dress Kara handpicked for me tonight, and if I were being honest, I felt a little overdressed. It was a red short dress that cupped my breasts out on display, and the makeup felt a bit too much. I contemplated wiping it or just going for a simple makeup or leaving this since it was already done anyway, when Kara glanced at me through the mirror.“What's go

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    IT'S NOT A LIE, IS IT?

    BELLE The last time I set my eyes on her was the day I took back what was rightfully mine. She came at me, cursing me alongside her mother. Neither of them believed a day would come when I'd think of reclaiming everything that rightfully belonged to me, but here we are.They still owe me my parents' mansion, but I'd leave that for later.Faye stepped into the room, her eyes glinting with rage, and beside her was Valerie. They stopped in front of me as if their duo could intimidate me or something.“It's you again,” Valerie said in a bored tone. “At this point, I'd think you're obsessed with me because why are you everywhere?”She raised her brows, but my gaze remained fixed on Faye, who was busy glaring at me.“Think whatever you want,” I said dismissively. “We didn't see anyone with the dress, so we're paying for it.”I pulled out my card from my bag, and Kara grinned to see that I was now supporting her.Valerie chuckled at my reaction, and I could tell what was going through her h

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    Gentleman

    BELLE “Travis! Travis, wait!” I ran after him, but he didn't stop or give me a chance to apologize. I'm aware of how fucked up that was and I hadn't intended to reward his kindness like this, but oh well.His legs were too long for me to catch up, and when I finally did, it felt like there was no more air in my lungs. He opened his car to get in, and I snapped it shut, knowing this was my only chance to talk to him because I wouldn't talk to me if I were in his shoes.“I'm sorry,” I blurted out. “I knew how fucked up that sounded and I swear, when I showed up for the date, it was because I wanted to give it a try. You know, to move on, but I didn't expect him to just show up like that and—”“I asked you if you're still into him, Belle, and you said no,” his voice sounded so strained, I could tell he was trying so hard to keep his cool.My lips parted, but I had no words to defend myself. “You initiated the kiss, Belle. I know confessing my feelings might have caught you off guard, b

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    I Want You

    BELLE Zalden's hands were still gripping onto my waist, but I knew what this was. It's a complete waste of time and I'm not about to raise my expectations only to watch them crumble once again.He didn't like me. I still don't understand why he hated seeing me with another man when my presence dis

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    IS IT TOO LATE TO WANT HER BACK?

    ZALDEN The moment Valerie showed up at my house unannounced, demanding that we go on a date, I knew I should have turned her down, but she was so fucking persistent that I thought I could give in just this once.She looped her hands through mine, clutching onto me more than was necessary and I kne

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    Two Sides

    AUTHOR'S POV “Why didn't you tell me Zalden was coming back?” Kara stood at the doorway, arms crossed, as she glared at Andrew.He barely stepped two feet into her apartment before collapsing on the couch with a groan. His tie was hanging half loose, eyes heavy with exhaustion, but Kara was too ri

  • CLAIMED BY THE MYSTERIOUS BILLIONAIRE    Feisty

    ZALDEN “I apologize for keeping you waiting,” she walked into the room with so much confidence I thought maybe I was imagining it. “Since I am here now, why don't we get this over with?” She took her seat at the center of the table and it took me a moment to recollect myself. Belle was the CEO.
