My Ruthless Billionaire and I

RAINORA.I went down the steps of the plane, holding on tight to my little duffle bag. The humming noise of theairport was kind of unnerving as I took in the crowd of people. Through them all, I located Eunice. Herwhite blazer, tailored to perfection beneath the noon sun, complemented slim black trousers and sleekheels to a T as she waved exuberantly."Ray babe!" Eunice exclaimed as her face split in a wide grin.I smiled back shyly, walking briskly toward her. "Eunice, it's so great to see you.""Look at you," Eunice said, pulling me into a brief but warm hug. "Still petite and cute, as always. Howwas the flight?""Not bad. A bit bumpy, but manageable," I replied quietly."Good. Let me take that," Eunice offered, already reaching for the bag. "Come on, the Porsche is justover there. You must be starving.As we slid into the sleek red car, I took a moment to appreciate the luxurious interior. Eunice had alwayshad a knack for living well."Buckle up!" Eunice chimed, turning the k

NIKOLAS.I sat at my desk, drumming my fingers against the surface. A file sat in front of me, and a name wasprinted in bold at the top: Rainora Adderman.Her face from the club flashed in his mind: wide eyes filled with fear, her delicate features framed byloose waves, and the striking contrast of her innocence against the chaos she had stumbled into. She'dlooked like an angel in the lion's den. An unintentional trespasser in a world that didn't welcomemistakes.I opened the file, feeling like I was opening Pandora's Box.Name: Rainora Adderman. Age: 22.Background: Hailing from a small town called Westbridge, her father had disappeared without a traceyears ago, leaving her mother to raise her and her younger brother, Arin, who was struggling with cysticfibrosis. Poor.She'd only recently arrived in New York, brought here by a friend's generosity--Eunice. She was workingtwo jobs: one as an assistant at Conway Law and another at a coffee shop in the evenings.

RAINORA8.59am!Tiny sweats slowly ran through my brows. That was the time I saw on my brown leather-strapped watch. I quickly paid the taxi driver as we stopped infront of Wood Enterprises. It was a high sky scrapper that reflected the sun on its clean windows. I was amazed on the modern architecture, its tall building stretched high to the clouds. It was truly a magnificent sight. "Keep the change." I tipped the driver, he smiled cheekily as he gazed at my maroon slim-fit suit. I didn't have any formal suit so Eunice borrowed me one of her high-end suits. It accentuated my curves so I could feel the driver undressing me with his eyes."Thanks...first day right?" He asked as he turned away. "Yes" I nodded positively. Finally, I dropped down at the pavement as I hurriedly rushed into the sliding doors of the building.The lobby was filled with various people of all works of life wearing brand label suits and accessories. I thought I was wearing something expensive, but compared to th

RainoraI kept reminiscing on the conversation I had with Nikolas. One hundred thousand dollars weekly. That will go a long way in taking care of both my mom and arin. I was hoping for a raise but I never imagined I could earn such an enormous amount of money. Now, I could finally pursue my dreams I had back-peddled for a long time."Earth to Rainora-" May snapped her fingers. She could tell I was loss in thoughts, I immediately recollected myself as we headed out of the building. At the entrance, there was a black Cadillac escalade parked infront. It's beautiful exterior, shining rims and the smooth sound of the running engine gave it a spectacular view. It stood out amongst the cars in waiting. Time went by as we didn't realize it was already nightfall, May showed me my desk which was just some few inches away from Nikolas' office. She was some floors below, but she was one of the few employees who had the access key to his office level. She also taught me how to pick incoming call

NikolasI drove my new red sports car that made a huge roar when I gassed down the pedal. I had a meeting across town with Empire Holdings, a construction company that has deep ties in the city. They have been in operation for many years and have a lot of properties all over the town. Unfortunately, with high cost of materials and harsh economic policies, they had to down size their staffs and were overwhelmed by debt. In order to stay afloat, they were looking for partnership. A proposal was already sent to me, so I want to check their books before making a final decision.I arrived at their entrance, There was a burly man standing at front door. A valet came to pickup the car as I approached the door. The security man tried to stop me, but I gave him a cold stare that shook him. He quietly stepped aside. I met the receptionist who was blonde with blue eyes . Looking like a fairy princess. Her office top and suit trousers accentuated her figure. I came here for business, no time for
