The restaurant was quieter inside than I expected.

A waiter immediately approached us and led us to a private section toward the back.

Adrian walked in first, followed by one of his men.

Braxton gestured for me to sit.

I took the seat beside him.

Adrian sat across from us.

His bodyguards remained a few feet away.

I looked around the table.

Everything about the place screamed expensive.

The plates were already set.

Crystal glasses.

Silverware.

A bottle of wine waiting to be opened.

I looked at B

  • HIS OBSESSION: The Billionaire’s Little Secret.   Chapter 35

    He looked to be in his late forties, maybe early fifties, but there was nothing soft about him.He was tall and broad-shouldered, with a solid build beneath his perfectly fitted black suit. His dark hair was brushed neatly back, a few strands of silver showing at his temples.His face was sharp.A strong jaw.High cheekbones.And dark, deep-set eyes that seemed to take in everything around him without giving anything away.Something about those eyes caught my attention.They were familiar.I frowned slightly.Maybe it was the shape.Or the way his eyebrows settled when he looked at someone.I couldn’t place it.His skin was smooth despite his age, and the faint lines around his eyes only made him look more distinguished.He wasn’t the kind of man who needed to announce himself.People noticed him anyway. And they made space.Braxton’s eyes followed him.Adrian noticed.“That’s Damien Cross.”Braxton kept watching.“Who?”Adrian looked at him.“You don’t know him?”“Should I?”Adrian s

    Sunday evening came around quicker than I expected.I hadn’t done much all day.I spent most of the morning in bed, then helped Ivy around the house before eventually retreating to my room to get ready.By six-thirty, I was standing in front of my mirror.The black dress fit perfectly against my body.The silver heels Braxton picked were already on my feet, and the small black purse hung from my hand.The diamond necklace rested against my skin, catching the light every time I moved.I had kept my makeup simple but sharp.My hair was pulled into a sleek middle part and gathered into a low bun at the back of my head.I turned slightly toward the mirror.“Okay…” Ivy said behind me.I looked at her through the mirror.She was staring at me with a knowing smile.“Now I understand why that man was so confident.”I rolled my eyes.“Don’t start.”“I haven’t even said anything yet.”“You’re about to say something stupid.”She laughed.Then her eyes dropped to the necklace.“Especially after t

    Ivy picked up one of the packages from the table.“Let’s see what this man bought you.”She tore the tape open and pulled the lid off.“Wow.”She reached inside and pulled out a Chanel box.My eyes followed the box as she placed it on the table.Ivy opened it.Her eyes immediately widened.“Nicee…”She pulled out a white Chanel bag and held it up.I just stared at it.For a few seconds, I couldn’t even find the words.It was beautiful.And expensive.Very expensive.I looked at the other boxes scattered around the table.“Your boss is buying you designer bags now?” Ivy turned to me with a grin. “Don’t play, girl.”I rolled my eyes.She reached for another box.“Let's see.”She opened it.This one contained a pair of black Yves Saint Laurent heels.My eyes widened.I stared at them for a second.Then I looked at Ivy.“You’ve got to be kidding me.”Ivy laughed.“He really went shopping.”I picked up one of the heels and looked at it properly.I was gagged.I couldn’t believe what I was

    We reached the heels section.Rows of expensive shoes lined the shelves.Braxton looked through them without hesitation.Then he pointed toward a pair.Silver heels.Thin straps wrapped delicately around the ankle, while the pointed front made them look sharp and sophisticated.He picked them up.“These.”I looked at them.“They’re nice.”“They’ll match the dress.”The saleswoman took them from him.“What size?”Braxton looked at me.I gave her my size.She brought them out.I tried them on.They fit perfectly.I took a few steps.The heels were comfortable enough to walk in.Braxton nodded once.“Nice.”I looked at him.“Obviously.”We moved to the bags.He walked past several without stopping.Then he paused.A small black purse caught his attention.It was simple but expensive-looking, with a structured shape and a delicate silver chain.He picked it up.“This one.”I glanced at it.“It matches.”“That’s the point.”I rolled my eyes.“Of course.”The saleswoman placed it with the s

    I turned around and walked back toward the house, my teeth clenched.I was angry.Actually, angry wasn’t even the right word.I was fucking pissed.He could have taken anyone else.Anyone.But no.It had to be me.Why?Why did he always have to drag me into everything?And the worst part was that I hated how easily he could disrupt my mood.He didn’t even have to do anything.Just showing up was enough.It was like he had this strange force around him that pulled me in whether I wanted it or not.I hated that.I hated every second I spent with him.I pushed the door open and walked inside.Ivy immediately sat up from the couch.“Oh,” she said, looking at my face. “You look pissed.”“He’s taking me shopping for an event he was invited to.”Ivy’s face lit up.“That’s great, Rosie!”I rolled my eyes.I had already lost count of how many times I’d done that since Braxton arrived.“There’s nothing great about going shopping with him. He only knows how to control people and get whatever he

    A few days passed.Things between Braxton and me settled back into our usual boss-and-secretary rhythm.He worked.I worked.He gave orders.I complained.He ignored my complaints.I ignored his irritating face whenever I could.Adrian’s documents were delivered, the partnership was moving forward, and thankfully, nothing dramatic happened.For once, my life was quiet.And I liked it that way.It was Saturday afternoon.I was curled up on the couch with Ivy, one leg tucked underneath me while I mindlessly scrolled through my phone.Ivy was doing the same beside me.The room was quiet.Peaceful.Exactly how a Saturday should be.Then my phone rang.The name on the screen made my head pound.“Nooo…” I groaned.Ivy immediately looked away from her phone.“What?”I stared at the name flashing across my screen.“Braxton.”Ivy’s lips immediately curved into a knowing smirk.“Your husband is calling.”I rolled my eyes so hard they almost hurt.“He’s not my husband.”“Not yet.”“Shut up.”She

    My heart was pounding in my chest, so loud I could hear it echo in my ears. I tried to steady my breath, but it wasn’t working. He was too close. Way too close. I forced myself to lift my chin, even though every nerve in my body screamed at me to step back.“Are you that much of a pervert,” I said,

    I got home, but my head wouldn’t stop spinning. What the hell just happened back there? What does he mean by he wants to marry me instead? Who does this man think he is?After a long, hot shower, I tied my hair up, threw on a big T-shirt, and dragged myself to the kitchen to make cereal. I had just

    For a moment, I just stood there like an idiot, staring at him. My brain refused to process what I was seeing. Of all people in this world, it had to be him.My first instinct was to turn around and leave, but my feet didn’t move. His eyes held me there. His gaze moved slowly from my face to my exp

  • HIS OBSESSION: The Billionaire’s Little Secret.   Chapter 3

    Three weeks have passed already, and I keep telling myself I’m healing. Heartbreak is never easy, but I’ve learned how to mask it, at least on the outside. Forgetting that asshole wasn’t something that happened overnight, especially when I see him and his so-called sister every single day at work.
