April watched Damien leave the small office, and he didn’t appear happy. She knew by the set of his square jaw he’d not received excellent news. Even as it concerned her, she reminded herself that now there’s more to life than dismal news. On paper, she was almost single again. Was Damien serious about being interested in her? “I’ll see you later Carolyn. I have an urgent matter to address.”

“Settle? What are you talking … Oh! Okay. Don’t act as I would. Wait. Don’t get married until after I return from my honeymoon.” Carolyn said. She scoffed close to April’s ear. To anyone who looked at them, they would think they were speaking, maybe gossiping.

“Stop trying to plan my life. I’m still married on paper.”

“Right. That’s disappointing. Promise me you won’t return to David.”

“I promise. I won’t.”

“The go say hello to a handsome and brilliant billionaire who I’m assured won’t mess up like David.” Ca

  • Goodbye My Deadbeat Hello My Billionaire   CHAPTER 31-WEDDING RECEPTION HONESTY?

    “What do you mean you must be seen in the photos with April, David? That makes no sense.” Chloe couldn’t believe him. He stood and left her there with everyone watched. He insisted he should sit with April, his ex-wife, at the Wedding Breakfast of her best friend. Because he changed the rules of their marriage so he would gain control of April’s company. Chloe didn’t like David anywhere near April or his interest in watching her. Damien and Neil stood to protest his presence. “Shut up, Chloe, I want her business. So, I’m involved, look it’s easier if I know the business and the owners.” David said in a soft whisper to Chloe inches from her ear before he’d left her. “Now, be an obedient girl. Go sit down, we’re on a timeline.” He didn’t want everyone blaming him for ruining the day. They’re at the wedding reception and David’s actions were no better. Chloe watched David as if he’d betrayed her. Her mouth hung open and her nose wrinkled. Befo

  • Goodbye My Deadbeat Hello My Billionaire   CHAPTER 30-PHOTO EVIDENCE OF WHAT

    Chloe stayed out of Damien’s sight. She didn’t want to give April a way to prove to him she’d threatened or attacked her. She didn’t deserve to be here or, for that matter, exist. Why did she get everything given to her? Her family lost everything in one deal after another. No matter what they did. If they followed the law. Chloe didn’t know if they ever tried to follow the law. If they did, it wasn’t in her lifetime. She didn’t care about that. What she cared about was how they treated her. She’s a revenue stream, but she didn’t dare expect to share any benefit from the family, and her family wanted more from her. Now, they wanted her to get her claws on David’s money. Why David? There’re better men with superior portfolios available. She didn’t understand this. But she’d do this. Chloe hadn’t seen where they’d gone when the lights returned. The lights failed, and the chaos returned. She’d left David sitting in a chair complaining into a g

  • Goodbye My Deadbeat Hello My Billionaire   CHAPTER 29-PARTNERSHIP

    “I didn’t. David disliked this circus. He dragged me to Las Vegas. His family pressured me to sign his pre-nuptial agreement in a hotel room. He thought he’d protected his finances leaving anything I made during our marriage available to him. I uploaded photos of the agreement to my lawyer and my grandfather’s legal staff, who read them. They told me to sign it. David wrote the prenuptial that we kept everything divided. Before and during our marriage. If we split up, the only scenarios where we benefit from the other person are infidelity, children, or a fatal accident involving the partner. My grandfather threatened if I said anything to David before his death about my inheritance, he’d ensure the inheritance rules change. He saw David and his family for the greedy fools they are. I was an immature idiot. I wanted the vineyard and protected it.” April said this to Damien. Her grandfather wanted her to find an influential family, who could protect her, t

    Hours later, they’d half of the elevators and emergency lights. Something that didn’t seem so bad within the suites or within the corridors. Elevators moved slower, and the lighting was dimmer. Landscape gardeners cleaned up the damage by the storm. “Well?” Damien asked Luke as soon as he stepped from the elevator. Luke hadn’t been able to ask how he was feeling. Or how April was. “How did this happen again?” “Someone set up a trigger, if this elevator activated and rose up toward your suite, it tripped a power surge which damaged something with the delivery system of electricity to the hotel. On a horrible note, the contract we have for the electrical maintenance can’t provide anyone for repairs until tomorrow.” “Will our repair contract cover this?” Damien said. He snapped at Luke, closed his eyes behind his right hand, and sighed. “Sorry, in time for the wedding, please.” “Right then.” Luke said in response

    “They're aware of our presence; they'll reach us soon. Damien said to April. “Luke answered my call and is on top of everything.” “What do you mean on top of everything? What’s happening?” April wasn’t expecting this. She hadn’t expected a second outage so soon, but now Damien confirmed the situation was not an accident. “Someone tampered with the delivery of the electricity from the generators. I doubt their method; this isn't the only elevator affected. It’s the entire building again. Luke is on it again and we’re on the list.” Damien said to April. He frowned. “I question their method; buried cables precede the main structures. They will quickly identify the issue and restore the electricity promptly. He appeared unhappy. Now, this incident taught April understood to understand how powerlessness anyone could be. “I guess that’s the best we can expect. Your guests are more important right now. It would look bad if you took

  • Goodbye My Deadbeat Hello My Billionaire   CHAPTER 26-OFF AND ON

    April didn’t run from Chloe, not with the lights on. Chloe's actions were visible to onlookers. April found herself stuck with no time to create a scenario or narrative to embarrass her. She couldn't quickly discredit April without raising questions about her own motives and presence. Chloe couldn't create false situations to blame on herself. April entered the lobby from the corridor and wrapped her robe closer around her. The lighting appeared so bright now after the dark. The soft sounds of people, music, and machines now appeared louder than before. She sighed because it’s over and she could find everyone else and ensure they’re okay. Then she’d retreat to her suite and hide. At least, that’s what April thought she’d do. That’s not what happened. April stepped toward the front desk and Damien’s voice came from behind her. “April, where were you? I told you to stay in the lobby or the lounge.” His words told everyone he’s annoyed, and Ap
