Stolen from The Billionaire Chapter 57
MarieI swirled the champagne in my glass slowly, watching the bubbles rise and burst at the surface. Henry’s question kept replaying in my head like a song stuck on repeat.‘Are you happy, Marie?’I had not given him a response, because I didn't know what to say. The music shifted to something jazzy and playful, and I looked up to see the newly married couple standing in the center of the reception space. Elizabeth had changed out of her long wedding gown into a shorter white dress that floated around her thighs when she moved. Her dress made her look like a princess. Patrick spun her gently, and both of them laughed, clearly lost in their own world. I couldn't help but smile as I stared at them. “My parents got married here,” a voice suddenly said beside me. “And so did my grandparents.”I got startled, and turned, almost spilling my champagne. I saw Ronald Cavanaugh standing next to me, with his hands in his pocket and his sharp grey eyes softened by the glow of the lights and

MaverickI walked far enough away that the music became a dull echo behind me. The laughter and clinking glasses blurred into the background, and just ahead of me, the waves of the sea kept on rolling in. I pressed the phone tighter to my ear.“What?” I demanded sharply. “How?”Vivek let out a short sigh that immediately made my stomach tighten. Prime Telecom's COO doesn't sigh that way unless things are bad. “I just found out,” his usually bold voice was strained and low. “I wouldn’t have called if it wasn’t serious.”My jaw clenched. “Then say it, Vivek.”“There’s a problem with the numbers Titan Tech is reviewing,” Vivek explained, slipping into professional mode. “Something old, and something buried.”I stopped walking, and faced the beach as I spoke. “What kind of problem?”“A temporary fix,” he replied. “From four years ago.”I exhaled sharply, because four years ago? I already knew what he was talking about.“When Prime Telecoms almost lost the Horizon government contract,”

Marie‘Do you mean what you said about taking care of Maverick and everything?’I sent the message to Ro before I could overthink it. The moment I saw that the message was delivered, I locked my phone and placed it face down on the table, like it could burn me if I stared at it too long.I didn’t know what pushed me to ask that again. Maybe it was the wedding, maybe it was the sea breeze, the laughter, the way everything around me looked so permanent while I felt temporary.Or maybe I was just tired of pretending I didn’t care that Maverick still loved his ex-wife, and that I was only here because I was useful.But useful until when? Until what end? When Maverick discards me because he has gotten what he wanted? I didn't even know what he wanted.I sighed and picked up my fork. Then I cut into the slice of cake on my plate. This one was a pistachio-and-rose chiffon cake, coated in honey cream. Once again, Blair had suggested that I try it after the previous one. I loved it. It was r

Maverick“It’s such a shame Bianca couldn’t attend.”Ronald Cavanaugh’s voice was smooth and almost casual, but nothing about the man was ever casual. We stood a little away from the buzz of the reception, where we were close enough to observe the ongoing reception, but far away to talk comfortably without someone interrupting or listening in.I took a slow sip of my sparkling water before responding.“She had to travel unexpectedly,” I said smoothly. “She’s in Bhutan, one of her foundation projects needed her presence there.”Ronald nodded, impressed but not surprised. “The Bianca Russo Foundation does remarkable work. Remote places like that rarely get attention.”“My mother prefers it that way.” I replied with a slight tilt of my head.He smiled, and it was the kind of smile that never fully reached his eyes. Then his gaze moved past me, over my shoulder.“I see Marie has been enjoying the ceremony so far,” he said lightly. “I’ve been keeping an eye on her.”There it was.I didn’t

Marie“…by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.” The priest announced with a grin.Everywhere erupted into cheers, applause and laughter. Patrick leaned in first, with his hands cupping Elizabeth’s face as he kissed her like he had waited his whole life to do it. Elizabeth laughed into the kiss, holding on to him like nothing else in the world mattered to her.I watched, and my chest stung in a way I didn’t expect.They looked so sure, so happy, so completely in love. Would I ever experience something like that?The white chairs were arranged in neat rows on the sand, facing a wooden arch wrapped in flowers and soft fabric that moved gently with the cool breeze.The ocean behind the couple was so blue and calm, like it was also celebrating with them. There were white petals scattered everywhere, and the sunlight reflected the water, making everything glow.It was beautiful, painfully beautiful.I swallowed and forced a smile on my lips as everyone around us st

Marie The door slammed so hard it made the walls tremble.For one wild second, I grabbed the nearest flower vase, about to smash it straight at the door that Maverick had just walked out of. My hands shook with anger, my chest burned with something hot, and my heart wouldn't stop beating too loudly.Then I froze. This vase probably cost more than my yearly rent back home.I let out a short breath and carefully placed it back where it belonged. My eyes lingered on the cool ceramic as I forced myself to calm down.Calm down, Marie. Calm down. Calm down.Instead, I snatched the nearest pillow, pressed it hard against my face, and screamed.I screamed until my throat hurt and my lungs burned. I screamed until all my anger drained, and it was enough for me to breathe again.When I finally dropped the pillow, I ran a hand through my hair as I paced about the suite like a trapped animal and replayed everything that had just happened with Maverick.His voice cut through my thoughts.‘Is it

Marie I locked myself in one of the toilet stalls and sat on the closed lid as I clutched my phone to my ear. I heard faint echoes from where I sat, like running taps, footsteps, and even a distant laugh from the hallway. My reflection had looked too pale on the polished tiles, so I’d turned away.

Maverick I had barely taken my seat in my office when the door opened again, and Charlie waltzed in while loosening his tie and running a hand through his hair.“TitanTech’s team’s gone,” he said with relief as he fell to the couch. “You survived. So, do I start drafting the press statement?”I sho

Maverick I picked up the document that sat on my office desk that morning as I took a long sip of my morning coffee. Today was a big day and I had to be prepared.It was the Letter of Intent (LOI) for the TitanTech slash Prime Telecoms merger. It was a simple agreement on paper, but it meant billi

MarieCharlie’s voice still echoed in my head by the time I stepped out of the car later that night, thanks to Maverick’s driver.“Don’t worry, Marie, the area’s clear. There’s no media and no noise. Just pack what you need and come back as soon as you’re done.”It sounded easy when he said it. But
