Clutching her bag tighter, she staggered back into the street. Suddenly the world became to blur, the cars zoomed too fast. The noise and chatter dimmed in the background, everywhere went blurry. Someone bumped into her. She saw them, their faces were blurred.

“What's with her”,

“She must be homeless, look at her dress”, their voices sounded miles away.

She held her head as a piercing high pitched frequency rang in her head. She closed her eyes trying to forget it all. Trying to find herself i

  • Divorced Heiress Is Now A Billionaire    Finding Reid

    Jacintha didn't remember going out of her room.One moment she was standing in the middle of her room, trembling, one hand pressed over her mouth. The next, she was through the door and flying down the hallway, her robe flowing behind her.The stairs appeared beneath her feet before she registered taking them. She moved fast, too fast for to check how many steps she took at a time. Her hand slid along the banister, cold wood against her palm. Even the banister knew how cold it was outside. She took the last four steps in a single breathless rush.The maids were still gathered at the living room windows. They were speaking in hushed, worried whispers. Their backs were turned, their foreheads nearly pressed to the glass. They were so engrossed, by watching the man outside kneeling in the storm that not a single head turned when their mistress flew down the stairs behind them.Jacintha didn't notice them either. Her eyes were fixed on the kitchen door. She turned left, feet almost float

  • Divorced Heiress Is Now A Billionaire    It got to her

    Reid's body had stopped feeling the cold around the ninety-minute mark. That was when the shivering stopped and something worse took its place—a numbness that spread from his fingers up his arms, from his knees up his thighs. His skin was pale and wrinkled, pruned by the endless water. His hair clung to his forehead. His eyes burned. But his mind was clear. Clearer than it had been in years. He thought about the first time he saw Jacintha. Not the wedding—he barely remembered the wedding. The first time. A garden party. She had been laughing at something someone said, head thrown back, sunlight catching the edges of her hair. He had thought, She'll do. Not She's beautiful. Not I want to know her. She'll do. He thought about the look on her face when she realized he didn't love her. Not all at once—it hadn't been a single moment. It had been a thousand small moments. A thousand small deaths. The way her smiles became smaller. The way she stopped reaching for his hand. The wa

  • Divorced Heiress Is Now A Billionaire    Unbreakable Bond

    The rain had stopped being rain two hours ago. Now it was a solid wall of water, falling with the kind of violence that threatened to break down every house. Jacintha lay in her bed, staring at the ceiling. She had counted every crack in the plaster. Every shadow cast by the single lamp she left on. She repeated every lie she told herself in the past two hours. I don't care where he goes.Her own words echoed back at her, mocking.She turned onto her side. Then her stomach. Then her back again. The sheets twisted around her legs, making her further uncomfortable.Sleep in the gutters for all I care.She pressed her palm against her forehead. Her skin was warm. Too warm. Despite the heavy rain, despite the cold, she was sweating. Not sweating from the adjusted room temperature but from worry. Thunder rolled across the sky, low and growling. The window rattled in its frame.She turned again.The thousandth time. Maybe the thousandth and first.Her window faced the compound.She knew

  • Divorced Heiress Is Now A Billionaire    Throwing him out in the storm

    “You want to know what I would do?” He stepped closer, eyes narrowing. Then he sighed, tilting his head ever so slightly. “Gosh, Jacintha. You will be the death of me.”Jacintha squinted her nose and eyed him from head to toe, “Get out.” She seethed. The wind whistled outside, cold wind blew across the room. He glanced at the window.“Are Vida's windows closed? She might be feeling cold.”“Don't change the topic.” She scoffed as she stepped forward. Her fingers closed around his wrist before he could step back.Firm. Not gentle.Reid looked down at her hand, then up at her face.“Are you cold? Do you want a hug?” He asked jokily. She didn’t answer. Her eyes locked with his as she pulled him closer. “You.” Her eyebrows went up.“Just follow me, okay?” An obvious fake smile spread across her face.He stumbled a half-step forward, more out of surprise than resistance, catching himself with an exhale that almost became a laugh. “Jacintha—”She turned, dragging him with her out of the

  • Divorced Heiress Is Now A Billionaire    The thunderstorm under a roof

    Lightning flared in violent flashes, illuminating the dark clouds. Thunder struck, the sound so deep it vibrated in the floor boards, the flash reflecting on the windo. Outside, the wind howled, fierce as if it wanted to pull every building from its roots. She stood by the window, unmoving, her reflection faint against the dark glass. The windows were shut, yet it was insignificant compared to the storm brewing in her chest. Reid Andros.Her biggest problem on earth. He was interfering with her every thought. He's not supposed to be on her mind yet he stuck to her mind like a stain that won't go away.Every hateful thought, every hateful glare now came with an exception. An exception for Vida. She loves her daughter more than she could ever hate him, and that was the cruelest twist. She hated that she had to see his face constantly.~That despicable man. He doesn't deserve to be happy. He has no right to be loved~Earlier, she saw how Vida instinctively curled his arms. Maybe becaus

  • Divorced Heiress Is Now A Billionaire    Sweet family times

    Just as expected, a small voice rang from the open doorway. “Mom....Dada… look. I saved you a blueberry from Switzerland!” Vida’s innocent, tone shattered the pretense, and Jacintha broke off the hug but Reid wouldn't let her go. He spun around to face, his hand resting firmly on her waist. Reid’s eyes softened slightly as he looked at the tiny figure waving a blueberry at them. He removed his hand from Jacintha's waist, opening it wide for a hug. Vida didn't hesitate, she ran into it. Reid caught and threw her in the air. Vida erupted in excited laughter. Jacintha couldn't help but smile. He continued to play with her while she giggled loudly. He tickled her while cradling her in his arms. Steadying her to face him, he arranged her hair. “Did you save one for us? Isn't that so sweet of you?” Vida nodded, “It's the biggest one! Mommy, come take a bite and share with Dad.” She raised the blueberry towards her mother. Jacintha smiled faintly, stepping closer, she held

    “Ahh!” A sharp gasp that broke into a scream escaped her lips as she stumbled backwards. Her hands broke free from her knees into the air, her balance slipped—Harry's head shot up from his palm, reaching for her on instinct.“Kenzie—”His hand caught her wrist, but instead of holding her in place,
