Roxy’s POV

Rachael touched my hand gently. “If you ever need help, just ask.” Her sincere eyes made me want to pinch myself.

“Thank you,” I replied, taking another drink to steady myself. I needed that drink more than I realized.

“See? It’s not so bad,” Rachael encouraged with a wink.

I forced a smile, but the drink slipped from my lips. Before I could reach for it, Nick’s thumb swooped in, brushing against my lips, wiping away the spill with a touch so tender it made my breath catch. That simple touch—why did it make my chest tighten like that?

Rachael let out an exaggerated sigh. “That was so hot, Nick. Ask her out already!”

“Rachael, stop it,” Alex teased.

“What? They’re hot!” Rachael said unabashedly.

Nick and I locked eyes, and the world around us seemed to disappear. The connection between us was undeniable, but my thoughts were tangled with revenge, Aaron, and the complications of my life. Why did this have to be so complicated? Why couldn’t it just be easy—for once?

  • Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy   CHAPTER 55: You Want That Little Kitten So Bad

    Aaron’s POVMy hand stayed on the small of her back as I led us into Vlade.The air inside hit me like smoke and sweat. Loud music. Dim lights. Heads turned when we walked in, some staring too long. I wanted to snap their necks for looking at her like that.She wasn’t mine. Not really.But right now, it felt like she was.I spotted Pike right away. He sat in the far corner, one arm stretched on the back of the chair, a glass in one hand, a fat cigar in the other. He looked relaxed. Too relaxed for someone like him. I’d done my homework—he had a wife, two kids, but no morals. He’d sell anyone out for the right price.I nodded toward him, then leaned close to Roxy. “He’s over there. I’ll talk to him. Won’t be more than ten minutes.”Her brows pulled together. “I’m not going with you?”She sounded hurt. Disappointed.I swallowed. “It’s still early in this. I don’t want to risk anything with you.”“Then why did you bring me?” Her voice was soft, but I heard the edge.I didn’t have a good

  • Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy   She Makes Me Feel Like A Boy Again

    Aaron’s POVMy head was full. Everything was falling apart.Mr. Chang, the Chinese client, didn’t want to sign with Thomas. He only wanted to deal with me. Which meant either crossing Thomas or losing an important client.Bradley Pike was waiting for me at Club Vlade. The Spectrum case was going nowhere. No one wanted to talk. Not with Burke’s shadow hanging over them. And Thomas—he was ignoring all my messages. Maybe I was too harsh in my voicemails, but I was too angry to care.Still, even with all of that… the second I saw her… everything else disappeared.She stepped out of the cab, and it hit me like a full wind.A red dress. Tight. Too tight. It hugged every inch of her body, advertising her curves in the most sensual way possible. My heart slammed against my chest. My mouth went dry.God help me. I stared. I was staring like a man who hadn’t seen beauty before. I was staring. Hard. Too hard. I couldn’t stop myself.Staring like a lost school boy.Her hips moved with each step l

  • Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy   The Dress I am Wearing For Him

    Roxy’s POVOkay, so... the last thing I ever imagined happening today was my professor walking up to my sad excuse of a hostel room and sitting right on my bed like it was normal. Like we were besties or sisters or something.I mean, seriously? Was this even allowed? Was it supposed to feel this casual?Sarah just followed me all the way up to my room after we picked the dress and—boom—suddenly she’s inside, judging everything with those sharp eyes of hers. Not that I could blame her. This room is a disaster zone. Peeling paint, furniture that looks like it’s been through war, a wardrobe that creaks like it’s haunted. I’ve seen gas station bathrooms with more charm.But I chose this.And soon…. soon it will fulfill its purpose.“Is this where you sleep?” she asked, looking around like she just walked into a horror movie.“Uh, yeah. I couldn’t get a better room with the transfer and everything. They say until next year,” I replied, playing it cool.Lie.Another lie.Add it to the pile.

  • Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy   CHAPTER 52: Game On

    Roxy’s POVMy room looked like a battlefield.Clothes everywhere.Nothing felt right.Not mine. Not Rosie’s.Not the black skirt, not the blue one, not the damn jeans. Nothing screamed seductive, revenge-driven temptress about to set her boss on fire.Crap.Why didn’t I just tell him?“Sir, I don’t own a single decent dress.”Too late for that now.My phone rang, vibrating under a pile of failed outfits. I dug through like a woman searching for treasure and finally found it.Sarah.My stomach flipped. Should I pick up?I hesitated too long, and it rang again. Okay. Okay.“Hi Roxy, your best girl here!” Her voice was a literal sunbeam.“Hi Sarah.”Wow. I didn’t know my voice could sound that stressed until she said—“You don’t sound good, Roxy. What’s up?”I pressed my lips together and finally admitted it. “I’m in the middle of a crisis.”“What crisis? Are you okay?”I exhaled. “I got invited to dinner… but I don’t have a dress to wear.”Instant regret.“Come on, I’ll take care of you

  • Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy   CHAPTER 51: The Dinner Date With Aaron

    Roxy’s POV It was a new day at the office but my mission was still the same. Aaron West. I knocked mildly at his door before stepping into his office. And there he was. Mr. Hard Face. Mr. Commanding. Mr. “I-own-every-air-you-breathe.” He was on a call, pacing across the room, voice deep and rough like a devil whispering in a dark room. His tone wasn't loud, but it filled the room. I swear even the walls leaned in to listen. But it wasn’t just the room. It was me too. I was completely tuned into him. I stood still, trying not to stare, but failing miserably. Those black pants hugged his thighs too well. I was biting my lip but ofcourse he couldn’t see. I tilted my head, tracking him as he moved. No. I wasn’t tracking. I was digesting. I was digesting this tall, consuming man before me. His shirt sleeves were rolled up, exposing sculpted arms that looked like they were carved for sin. And that hair—God—I wanted to tangle my fingers in it, just to see how he’d

  • Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy   CHAPTER 50: All The Way

    Roxy’s POVCatherine Bennette, my overbearing mother, and Rosie, my thorn-in-the-side twin, sat across from me at the breakfast table. Catherine was dressed in her usual prim attire, a pastel blouse neatly tucked into slacks. Her concern showed in the way she nervously folded and unfolded her napkin, her eyes darting toward me every few moments. Rosy, clad in her familiar denim jacket and plain tee, looked like she was bracing herself to play mediator in a battle that hadn’t yet begun—but we both knew it was coming. I sat there in a haze, pushing my eggs around on my plate without much enthusiasm, half-present, half-lost, my mind replayed scenes from yesterday—Aaron and I at Club Virgo, his firm grip on my wrist as he led me to his room. The vivid red walls—it takes a certain kind of man to choose that color. A man with fire steaming beneath the surface. Aaron had that fire; I could feel it come off him every second I spent close to him. Sarah had always said he was a good lover.

  • Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy   CHAPTER 49: I Want More

    Roxy’s POV I dropped the file onto the table, standing with eager eyes. The entire place smelled like him—strong, masculine, with a whiff of something dark and forbidden. Of course, he owned it. Everything about this space screamed Aaron West. My legs moved on their own, leading me to the sleek brown shelving of his closet. I pulled it open, my head falling backwards as I inhale the scent that greets me, my fingers itched, trembling as I decided what to touch first. Stop! A voice inside me warned. But there was no way I was stopping now. I ran my fingers along the lineup of crisp shirts and suits, unable to resist the urge to pick out one. It was a deep gray shirt, just like his eyes. I brought it to my face, inhaling deeply, the scent of him filling my lungs, making my head spin. Something else caught my eye, and I carefully replaced the shirt. It was a journal, black and heavy. I lifted it, my fingers tracing its edges. What secrets could be hidden inside? I imagined him

  • Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy   CHAPTER 48: Exploring In His Red-Room

    Roxy’s POVI had made a big mistake. I called him by his first name. That was the one rule he had made clear—and I broke it.His eyes darkened, and for a moment, he looked truly scary. He leaned in closer, and his voice dropped.“I expect you to always be professional with me, Ms. Bennette. Just because we have an arrangement doesn’t mean you’re anything more than my employee. And I’m your boss. Do you understand, Ms. Bennette?”I swallowed hard. “Uh—yes, I understand, Mr. West,” I said quickly.“This is the first and the last time,” he said.“Yes, Mr. West,” I nodded.He leaned back again, putting just enough space between us to make me miss the closeness. I hated how his distance made me ache. He reached for his briefcase, and my eyes followed the movement instinctively.Stop staring, Roxy. Get it together.But my mind betrayed me, wandering to thoughts I shouldn’t be having—fantasies that didn’t belong in a room like this, with a man like him.What’s wrong with you, Roxy? I scolde

  • Falling For My Billionaire Revenge Daddy   CHAPTER 47: Never say never Mr. West

    Roxy’s POV Stepping into the club—club Virgo—Austin had called it, my heart pounded like a drum. The dim lighting, the scent of expensive cigars, polished mahogany furniture, expensive perfumes. A real gentleman’s club—It smelled like power, secrets, and sin. As Aaron led me inside, I took in the place. Tall, dark wooden panels lined the walls, and the carpet underfoot was so thick it muffled the sound of our footsteps. Crystal chandeliers hung low, casting sparkling reflections that danced across the room like whispers of temptation. I caught sight of men laughing, cigars in hand, and women who looked like they belonged on magazine covers draped over the plush seats. My nerves tingled with every step, my skin prickling under the intense gaze of the other patrons. They knew who Aaron was—But they didn’t know me, and I felt their eyes on me, questioning, probing, wondering. “Hello, Mr. West,” a sultry voice broke through my thoughts. The front desk lady, stood as soon as she sa
