*Nina*

Zoe came back in the evening. She wasn't looking happy. I gave her some privacy for some time before meeting her in her room.

“We lost the bid, the one I told you about before,” she said quietly.

“The one you said would boost your company?” I asked, just to be sure.

“Yeah, we lost to Alexander,” she replied, looking tired.

“Wait, the bid you were talking about was the government's $500M project?

  • Cheated on, Claimed by a Billionaire    Chapter Forty: Wrapped in His Warmth

    Alexander's POVI had almost kissed her when her phone suddenly rang. I didn't know why I couldn't hold myself back. I really wanted her.She started it first. If she hadn't teased me earlier, I wouldn't have lost control.When she came back, her countenance had changed. She looked so worried and worked up.Knowing Nina as well as I did, it could only be her children who could make her look that worried.Not up to thirty minutes later, her phone rang again. This time, I was close enough to hear everything.Sarah had called to inform her that Finn had been rushed to the hospital because his health had suddenly worsened.Hearing about Finn's health made me feel bad. A child shouldn't be suffering like this. I could count how many times he had been to the hospital within two months.I also felt for Nina. She had to carry this burden alone.The foolish man she had children with couldn't even be there for her. I wondered how she had met that kind of man.Nina was smart and intelligent, so

  • Cheated on, Claimed by a Billionaire    Chapter Thirty-nine: The Night We Almost Fell in Love

    Nina's POVI couldn't believe I had heard correctly. Alexander had publicly admitted that he trusted me. No one had ever trusted me before except Zoe. She was the only one who believed I was telling the truth when everyone else didn't.The security guards nodded, and the CCTV footage was retrieved and played. To everyone's surprise, Liana was seen putting the necklace in my bag before excusing herself.She had done it while Alexander and I weren't looking. We never would have thought she would pull a trick like this.The people gasped in shock as they cursed her for trying to frame me."A young girl at this age goes around framing people and causing trouble. How could she raise a child?" an elderly woman among the crowd said with a huff."She's not fit to have one!" another angry person cursed loudly.Then Alexander glared at her furiously. I have never seen him this angry before."Don't ever involve my employee in your games again!" he fired at her in a very cold voice. His cold v

    Nina's POVThe laughter and discussion died down immediately when Liana showed up.What was she doing here? Could it be that she was invited by Alexander?My face twisted. Why did she have to show up now? Alexander looked surprised to see her too.Maybe he wasn't the one who invited her.She casually took a seat and sat down with us without minding whether her presence was needed.What a nerve.She was all smiles as she placed her bag and phone on the table. The waitress came around and took her order."What are you doing here?" Alexander asked with his usual coldness.She smiled and gently placed her hand on Alexander's lap. My heart twisted, and my blood boiled with anger. But I managed to calm myself."I happened to be here for business. I didn't expect to see you guys here." She answered immediately.Alexander quickly removed her hand from himself and dusted that part of his trousers. My nerves calmed at the sight of him dusting the spot where Liana had touched him.She pretended

    Nina's POVThe next day I gathered the documents we worked on last night. Today, we will be meeting with the CEO of Sterling Technologies.I had gone through the documents several times to make sure they were complete and presentable.That morning, I prepared breakfast while Alexander was still lying on the couch. It seemed like he hadn't slept well the previous night.After preparing breakfast, which consisted of tea and toast, I set everything on the center table and walked over to tell him that breakfast was ready.This was the first time I had slept under the same roof as Alexander, and I didn't know if he got angry when someone woke him.I knelt beside the couch to wake him, but I couldn't stop admiring his handsome face. I used to think Nolan was the hottest man I'd ever seen, but Alexander was far more handsome than him.I stared at his face, unable to stop admiring him. Then something occurred to me. Alexander somehow resembled my kids.I had never thought about it before, b

    Nina's POV We arrived late due to the weather delay.Alexander helped me carry my bag to the counter to book a room at the hotel.“We're sorry, sir. A booking error has left only one executive suite available,” the hotel manager apologized.“I think we should go to another hotel,” I told Alexander immediately. I didn't like the idea of sharing the same room with Alexander.“Sorry, ma'am, but every nearby hotel is fully booked because of an international business conference.”Alexander rubbed his temple. He seemed to be lost in thought.“You'll take the bedroom while I use the restroom. Let's save ourselves the stress,” Alexander suggested.Since this seemed to be the only solution, I reluctantly accepted.I'm really not scared that Alexander might do something to me. I'm scared because I might not be able to control myself if something like that were to happen.It's not like something will happen anyway. It's just my stupid imagination.We ended up booking the only executive suite av

    Nina’s POVYesterday, I received an urgent message from my boss that Carter Global would be negotiating a partnership with Sterling Technologies, a company looking to expand its business across Asia.I already knew about the partnership because I was his PA, but the message stated that the CEO of Sterling Technologies insisted on meeting only with Alexander and his personal assistant because of the confidential nature of the deal.I hadn't expected the journey to last three days or to be this urgent.We would be leaving today for the three-day business trip.I made sure I spent quality time with the children yesterday evening. I would definitely miss them, and I knew they would miss me too.I called Sarah and pleaded with her to stay with the kids until I returned since they were very fond of her. With her around, they wouldn't miss me too much.This morning, Mia helped me pack my bag.Ethan, who had been selecting his favorite toy, suddenly looked up and smiled at me. He walked over

    **Nina**“You really did something crazy,” Zoe laughed.We were talking about last night, and honestly, I expected her to be angry. But she wasn’t. Instead, she was doing everything possible to make me feel better.“Sleeping with a stranger is better than wasting years with Nolan,” she said, her ex

    **Nina**“Another one, please.”The bartender refilled my glass with whiskey, and I swallowed it in one gulp. I winced as the alcohol burned down my throat and settled heavily in my stomach.I slammed the empty glass onto the counter.“One more!”The bar was loud, filled with neon lights, heavy bas

    NinaThe smell of coffee and butter pulled me out of sleep before the light did. I cracked one eye open.Zoe stood at the edge of the bed with a tray balanced on one hand, dressed like she was about to close a deal. Her blazer was perfectly fitted, her dark hair pulled back neatly, and her heels
