NAKED LIES OF THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 146
“Now?” she asked again, her voice carrying a mix of hesitation and curiosity.“Yes… now,” I replied, straightening up slightly as I said it, trying to sound more certain than I actually felt. There was a brief pause on the line, like both of us were silently weighing what was about to happen.“Umm… just text me the address,” she finally said.“Yeah, I’m doing that now,” I responded almost immediately.The call ended right after that.I slipped my phone back into my hand and began walking toward the end of the street, my pace steady but my mind anything but. When I got to where the street opened up to the roadside, I paused for a second, scanning for any passing vehicle. As soon as I spotted a taxi approaching, I raised my hand, waving it slightly until the driver slowed down and pulled over in front of me. I opened the door and got in without saying much, just giving him the location before leaning back into the seat.The hotel I chose was on the same street where I had once seen Dani

“You’re sick” I whispered to myself, I thought she wouldn’t hear me , “Maybe. But I’m also very patient. And very well-funded. So here’s what’s going to happen. You’re going to keep playing the perfect girlfriend. You’re going to get me what I need. And if you even think about telling Adrian the truth… I’ll destroy everything. Your shiny new life. Your little romance. Your reputation. All of it. In one clean sweep.”The line went quiet for a beat.Then, almost sweetly: “Do we understand each other, Mrs. Morgan?” “Yeah,” I said, voice barely audible. “I said we understand each other,” but even after the call ended, the words didn’t feel like mine anymore. They lingered in the air, heavy, like something I couldn’t take back. The cigarette between my fingers had burned down to the filter, the heat biting into my skin before I even noticed. I flinched, dropping it to the ground and crushing it under my heel, watching the last ember fade into nothing. If only everything else could di

“Yeah,” I said quietly, reaching into my clutch and pulling out the slim silver lighter I’d just bought on in the store . I handed it to him without looking directly at his face, my fingers brushing his rough, calloused ones for the briefest second.“Thanks,” he muttered, taking it with a slight nod. He flicked the lighter once, twice, until a small flame appeared. The tip of his cigarette glowed orange as he inhaled deeply, the smoke curling up into the misty night air. Up close, his breath hit me like a wave , sour, heavy, the stench of years of cheap alcohol and neglected teeth. It was the kind of smell that clung to a person, the kind that told stories of long nights and even longer regrets. “…You look too good to be out here,” he said after a moment, his voice raspy and low, like gravel under tires. He eyed me up and down, not in a leering way, but with a kind of weary observation, like he was surprised to see someone dressed like me standing in front of this rundown mini-mart

I scanned around for where we parked, my eyes sweeping across the dimly lit parking lot as we stepped out of Lumen’s heavy glass doors. The night air had grown cooler, carrying the faint scent of rain on asphalt and the distant hum of the city. Streetlights cast long, golden pools across the rows of luxury vehicles, turning windshields into mirrors and chrome into liquid silver. My heels clicked against the pavement, each step measured, deliberate, as if moving too quickly might betray the storm still swirling inside my chest. My gaze moved from one row of cars to the next, searching for Adrian’s sleek, matte-black Range Rover. He’d parked it earlier in a spot near the side entrance, away from the valet chaos. But as my eyes drifted, they caught on something else instead.Daniel’s car. It was impossible to miss, parked under a spotlight near the main entrance, gleaming like it had been detailed that afternoon. A new model, flashy and aggressive, all sharp angles and high-gloss bla

“Is it just my eyes or do I see Skybounds’ CEO at the other end of this restaurant?” Clara said, her voice laced with fake curiosity as her gaze sharpened in Daniel’s direction. My body reacted before my mind could catch up, an icy chill swept through me, yet at the same time, a thin layer of sweat gathered on my skin. It was the kind of contradiction that only came with panic. I didn’t turn. I couldn’t. Not yet.Adrian followed Clara’s line of sight, his eyes narrowing slightly as if trying to confirm what she had just said. Then, slowly, deliberately, his attention shifted back to me. “Is that who you were looking at, Emma?” he asked, his tone casual but his stare anything but. Clara’s eyes didn’t leave my face either, almost as if she was waiting to catch me in a lie.“I didn’t notice he was the one sitting there,” I replied, forcing my voice to stay steady. I kept my eyes locked on Clara instead of risking even a glance in that direction. If I looked, I might give something away.

And that was when Clara caught me staring.Her sharp eyes flicked from her plate to my face, then followed the exact line of my gaze across the restaurant. A slow, knowing smile curved her lips , not warm, but predatory, the kind of smile she wore in boardrooms when she knew she had the upper hand.“It’s a nice view, isn’t it, Emma?” Clara said sweetly, her voice carrying just enough edge to make the question feel like a blade pressed lightly against skin. I jolted, heat rushing to my face. In shock, I gave a nervous laugh, too high, too forced, and quickly dropped my eyes back to my plate, pushing a piece of octopus around with my fork like it was the most fascinating thing in the world.“It’s a great view, Clara,” I replied, trying to sound casual, “You don’t see many restaurants with this kind of aesthetic on our side of town. The lighting, the exposed brick… it’s really something.”I could feel her gaze burning into the side of my face, unrelenting. She didn’t look away. Not eve

“Cheers to that,” Adrian said, a warm smile spreading across his face as he lifted his glass slightly before taking a sip. He turned to me then, his expression still light, unaware of the tension tightening around my chest.“…I’m sure you and Clara must be getting along in the office,” he added, hi

“Alright, I’ll be down…” he started, his tone shifting slightly, like he was forcing the conversation to pause instead of ending it.My chest tightened.“…and Clara followed me straight from work. She’ll be staying for some time…” he added. He began walking toward me, closing the small distance bet

“I’ve never asked before,” he said quietly, repeating the words like he was testing their weight. “And you don’t speak on it either.”He didn’t raise his voice. Didn’t accuse. Just stated it, “You’re right,” I said after a long beat. My voice came out steadier than I felt. “I haven’t spoken about i

Slowly, I turned my head toward him. My eyes widened in pure shock, searching his face for any sign that he was joking, that this was somehow a random question thrown carelessly into the air.But his expression remained serious, My mouth parted slightly, but no words came out. Why would he ask that
