~Sebastian's POV~

“Good morning, sir.”

My staff greeted me politely as I entered the building, their voices blending into the usual morning murmur. I didn’t spare much attention. I walked straight toward my office, the weight of responsibility pressing into every step.

Once inside, I sank into my chair. Mike stood beside me, unfolding his tablet with practiced efficiency.

My dad doesn’t seem to be coming in today, I’m guessing he’s still exhausted from yesterday. Probably decided to spend some quality time with Mom.

Mike cleared his throat and launched into the day’s rundown.

“Today’s packed. You’ve got a meeting with the Velmo president at 10 a.m., and the restructuring and infrastructure compliance board meeting is at noon,” he stated, pausing for a breath.

I barely flinched. There was no room for complaints.

“And,” Mike continued, “The Extension Lead Company is releasing its second film of the season. I think this one's worth the investment. They’ve consistently put out box office

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Shadows of the night

    ~Sebastian's POV~"I'm sorry. Please, it's not what you think."A familiar voice pleaded as I walked down the hallway, heading back to my office.I had just concluded an impromptu meeting with the Human Resource team. It wasn’t on the schedule, but I had to attend. The voice caught me off guard—so familiar that I instinctively halted mid-step. I took a moment to process.Then I heard Mike’s voice respond, and instantly, I remembered who the feminine voice belonged to.Ivy. His girlfriend.What the hell is she doing here?"Please, look at me. I did it for us!" she begged, her voice shrill, trembling with desperation.I froze. My mind involuntarily flashed back to Helen. The images were vivid, too raw to have faded. Ivy, now pleading with Mike, reminded me too much of Helen—how she ended up entangled with that low-life security guard. The image of Helen and that low life stuck up in my head. How can he give that I can't?Nothing! Absolutely nothing.I'll give 10x than anything he could

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Anything for her

    ~Helen's POV~“Wednesday family tray, please,” I ordered as we settled into our seats at Holly’s Eat and Crave More.It wasn’t a glamorous restaurant, but I’d heard the food was to die for. Every Wednesday, they offered a special family tray—a kind of bonus treat that included a full-course meal designed for an entire family.The tray was a feast: spicy jollof rice, assorted shrimp and meat, fresh salad, an array of small chops, a full bucket of sizzling chicken laps, tacos, peppered beef, and garlic-whipped sauce. Oh—and the waffles? Golden, fluffy, and utterly irresistible.Ashley stared at me, her eyes wide in disbelief.“Won’t that cost more?” she asked, concern etched into her soft voice.“Not at all. It’s a discount sale,” I said, flashing her a reassuring smile.“That’s nice. So… how’s work been?” she asked, her voice curious, almost teasing.Her question dragged my mind straight back to Sebastian—to the fire in his eyes when he saw me with Mali. The storm behind his calm. The

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Butterflies

    ~Helen's POV~Is Sebastian in love with me?He didn’t have to speak—the storm in his eyes told me everything. The kind of rage that comes from deep within. The kind a man can only feel when he’s hurt by someone he cares too much about.And I felt it.The tension in the hallway was thick, crackling like a live wire. My heart pounded, not from fear—but from something far more dangerous. Desire. Hope. Maybe even love. He stood there, still and silent, yet I could feel his fury pulsing like a heartbeat. Not the cold indifference I was used to, but something more primal. Possessive. Emotional.His gaze scorched me—fiery, piercing, wounded. I’d only greeted him, trying to ease the awkwardness of what he’d witnessed earlier. I didn’t expect a smile, but I hadn’t expected to be invisible either. He brushed past me like I was nothing, again. Cold. Distant. Dismissive.One moment, he acts like he cares—the next, he walks out like I never existed. And yet… instead of being angry, I found myself

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    Mine alone

    ~Sebastian's POV~She frolicks with a lowlife—damn it!I clenched my jaw as the image of her wrapped in his arms flashed in my mind like a slow-burning curse. Of all people, I never expected her to stoop that low. The way she stayed nestled in his embrace—as if it were her safe haven, as if she wanted to remain there—made my stomach churn.My hands fisted at my sides.She’s just a housekeeper, right? It’s not unheard of—housekeepers mingling with the guards, sharing beds under shadows and whispers. But this? Her? Why does this feel so different?Why the hell does the sight of her in his arms feel like a dagger twisting into my chest?My blood boiled. The fury surged through my veins like lava. I couldn’t take my eyes off the two of them—how they stood in the dim hallway, faces inches apart, eyes locked in a stare that screamed desire. They looked like they were about to tear into each other right there, lost in some unspoken heat.It was obscene.It was mine.She’s mine—no one else’s.

  • Secret affair with the billionaire    In the grip of unwanted hands

    ~Helen's POV~Sunlight crept onto my skin, rousing me to the beauty of a new day. I went through my usual morning routine—freshened up and headed to the mansion.“You’re up so early,” Lisa remarked as I walked into the kitchen.Her hands were deep in a bowl of dough—seems she was up to bake something for breakfast.“I have to be at my sister’s school today,” I replied.I needed to finish my chores before leaving for Ashley’s school. Mrs. Hartley only gave me permission to leave, not an entire day off.“Yeah, that’s right,” Lisa said.I grabbed my cleaning supplies from the storage room and headed upstairs to Sebastian’s room. I knew Mena wouldn’t let me clean now—her sleep was never to be disturbed.It was 7:30 a.m. Sebastian must have gone to the gym for his morning workout, giving me the perfect window to clean his room and lay out his outfit.As I reached his room, just as I had assumed—he wasn’t in.I fixed his bed, laid out his suit for the day, packed the files scattered across
