The clock struck dot ten, and the grand Echelon Ballroom of Skycrest Tower unfurled like a dream painted in crystal and gold. The towering ceilings glimmered with cascading chandeliers, their diamond-like facets refracting light into soft rainbows across the marble floor. Elegant symphonies of classical music played in the background, as guests in fine tuxedos and sweeping gowns filled the lavishly decorated hall, their laughter and soft conversations a harmonious prelude to the night’s main event.

Every table was set with precision, white roses in glass vases glowed under warm candlelight, while gold-rimmed and sparkling glassware shimmered against the sleek, onyx tablecloths. Photographers moved quietly and organized capturing the night of excellence and elegance from every angle.

Just outside the building, beneath the arched stone entrance draped with soft white lights, where Harrison waited.

The air was pleasantly cool, scented faintly by roses lining the marble planters. Security

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BARGAIN    CHAPTER 70

    Carmilla stood, firm and composed. Her arms were crossed, though her voice was anything but cold.“I’m sure there’s no need for introductions,” she said quietly. “Since we know each other”Valdez stood frozen beside her luggage, hoodie casting shadows over her tired eyes. She gripped the handle of her suitcase like it was the only thing anchoring her to the earth. Her voice was bitter. “Leave me alone, Carmilla.”“What part of I am not her to hurt you don't you understand?” Carmilla replied softly.Valdez let out a humorless laugh. “Don't you know? Your presence alone will cost me my life.”Those words struck Carmilla hard. She stepped forward, her eyes fixed on valdez. “What do you mean by that?”Valdez shook her head quickly, shoving the comment away like a loose thread unraveling from a sleeve. “It doesn’t matter. Just walk away.”She turned to go, but Carmilla stepped in front of her, blocking her path.“You were right about the Harringtons,” Carmilla said. “Not everything… but so

    The taxi came to a smooth halt outside a tall, aging building nestled on a quieter street west of downtown Los Angeles. The area had a strange silence about it—neither too dark nor too loud, yet it felt like the city had forgotten this corner of itself. Streetlamps buzzed overhead, casting a pale orange hue across cracked sidewalks and rusted stair rails.Sandra was the first to step out. She glanced at the looming structure in front of them, then turned back to pay the driver. Carmilla followed, her heels clicking softly against the concrete as she approached the building, eyes narrowing as she took in the dimly lit hallway visible through the doors.The place wasn’t rundown, but it lacked charm, no doorman, no polished entryway, just a practical, lived-in feel. It was the kind of place that held stories no one ever told out loud.“This building has at least six floors,” Sandra said, looking up toward the rows of curtained windows. “How are we going to know which room she’s in?”Carm

    The tension still lingered in the Echelon Ballroom like perfume after a storm.Gasps from the surrounding guests and talks had barely died down when the head of the floor staff, a sharply dressed man with slicked-back hair and a tight expression—rushed to the scene. His footsteps echoed on the marble tiles as he cut through the crowd, face tight with embarrassment.“I deeply apologize for the inconvenience, Mr. and Mrs. Harrington,” he said, stopping just before them with a stiff bow. “This is highly unprofessional, and I take full responsibility.”His eyes then snapped to Valdez, who now stood frozen again, just a step from escape. “You! Out,” he ordered coldly. “You’re done here. I dont want to see your face around here.”Valdez lowered her eyes and nodded slightly, wordlessly stepping back and turning to leave. Carmilla stared at her, face in disbelief, as the woman who had vanished for months, without a trace—walked away as if none of it had ever happened.Harrison gently touched

    The Bentley Bentayga drove to a smooth stop just at the grand archway of Skycrest Tower, its sleek frame reflecting the soft golden hues of the LA sun. The building stood like a modern citadel of opulence, all glass and chrome, soaring toward the sky with the pride of architectural mastery. The front entrance was a spectacle in itself, valets dressed in navy uniforms with gold trims moved briskly, opening doors for the constant stream of luxury vehicles arriving one after another.Security stood discreetly by, earpieces in and scanning faces, while a crimson carpet lay beneath the feet of the elite. Beneath the elegant overhang of the buildings entrance, a soft fountain danced in the background, adding to the refined ambiance. Guests in tailored suits and glittering gowns stepped out of Rolls-Royces, Lamborghinis, and Maybachs, met instantly by uniformed staff who offered assistance with luggage or directions to their suites.As soon as the chauffeur opened the Bentley’s rear door, Ha

    As Harrison stepped into the luxurious Gulfstream G700, the gentle thrum of the Rolls-Royce engines enveloped the private hangar. Outside, Monday's gray sky unfolded over New York's skyline, with clouds drifting lazily across the horizon. The new week dawned, bringing its share of spotlights.Harrison moved with calm assurance, dressed in a sleek, custom-tailored Tom Ford suit in charcoal gray, paired with a crisp white shirt and a silver-toned Omega watch. His tailored black trench coat was draped over his arm, exuding modern sophistication. At the foot of the cabin stairs, his personal assistant Rachel waited, portfolio and handbag in hand.“Good morning, sir,” Rachel said with a nod, following him into the cabin as the stairs folded away and the door sealed shut behind them.Inside of the jet was surrounded by its sleek and modern interior. The comfortable leather seats and shiny metal accents gave it a luxurious feel. The large windows showed the clouds outside, and the soft light
