The Billion-Dollar Payback Plan: She Woke Up Richer Than The Chapter 83
Krystal Hunter – POVThe thing about men like Darren Johnson was that they always thought they were leading. Always thought the world bent for them because they leaned the right way.But I knew better.I knew him.Because this wasn’t the first life where Darren walked into my orbit. I’d seen his moves before—the charm, the steel-eyed ambition, the way he could make a woman feel like she was the only one in a room full of billionaires. I’d also seen where it ended. Betrayal. Blood. The deal with the McLarens that cost me everything. My fortune, my family, my life.But this time? This time the board was mine.He didn’t know that while he was smirking at me over popcorn and calling me beautiful under the dim flicker of a zombie movie, I was already counting his breaths, cataloging the tilt of his eyes, the slip of hesitation in his voice. Every word, every glance, every little moment where he thought he was clever — I filed it away. A weapon for later.The movie ended past two. He was st

Darren Johnson – POVI should’ve waited until morning. Should’ve taken the time to polish my findings, line up the narrative, make it airtight before I dropped it in front of her. That’s how I operated — clean, calculated, always in control.But Krystal Hunter had a way of bending my rules.So instead, I found myself in her penthouse at nearly midnight, folder tucked under my arm, adrenaline still buzzing in my veins from the calls I’d made and the “truths” I thought I’d uncovered about Raven Anderson.She opened the door barefoot, wearing yoga leggings and an oversized sweatshirt that hung off one shoulder. No diamonds, no silk, no armor of Manhattan elitism. Just… Krystal.“Darren?” she blinked, tilting her head as if surprised but not displeased. “You know it’s midnight, right? Some of us actually do yoga and sleep like normal people.”“Normal?” I snorted, brushing past her into the apartment. “There’s nothing normal about you, Krystal.”“Flattery,” she said lightly, closing the do

I pulled strings I hadn’t touched in years, whispering into phones, making introductions through middlemen who didn’t ask questions. Each call was another stone cast into the pond, ripples spreading outward, waiting to come back and drown Raven Anderson.Because when Krystal said she wanted someone ruined, she didn’t mean politely embarrassed. She meant obliterated.I leaned back in my chair, the bourbon burning its way through my chest, and thought about her again.Why was I doing this? Raven Anderson wasn’t my problem. Not until Krystal made him mine. I should’ve told her no. Should’ve kept my distance. But every time I saw her smirk across my desk, every time she looked at me like she was daring me to prove myself, I couldn’t help it.She wanted him gone.So I would erase him.I pictured the look on her face when I told her. The satisfaction. Maybe even gratitude. Maybe she’d finally let me see past that polished armor she wore so well.The phone buzzed again — Marco texting me lea

Darren POVThe storm outside hadn’t let up. Rain hammered the wide glass windows of the restaurant, streaking the city in silver lines, turning headlights into halos in the darkness. Inside, the warmth of golden lamps and the quiet hum of jazz only made the divide sharper—out there was the drowning city, in here was the illusion of control.And across from me sat Krystal.Her dress was black silk, simple but devastating, clinging in places that made my throat tighten. A slash of red on her lips. Diamonds, but small ones—strategic, subtle, as if she didn’t need to prove wealth when her very presence screamed it.The waiter returned with dinner—roasted duck glazed with honey and citrus, seared scallops with saffron, a side of wild truffle risotto. Dishes I couldn’t even pronounce, let alone afford.She carved her duck delicately, her fingers precise, her nails painted a dark, expensive shade of wine that matched her lips. I couldn’t stop watching her hands, the easy confidence in every

Hours later, Darren staggered out of the casino, his wallet empty, his credit cards maxed, his bank account teetering near zero. His last $10—gone in the span of one night.The city rain hit his face like cold slaps as he stumbled down the sidewalk, the neon casino sign buzzing mockingly behind him. His Italian leather shoes were soaked, his trousers clinging to his legs. His once-immaculate image of the city’s slickest lawyer was nothing but a joke now.He pulled out his phone, hands shaking, scrolling through his contacts.First call: his best friend, Mark.“Mark—it’s Darren. Listen, I need a favor. Just a small loan—”“Darren?” Mark’s voice was tight. Cold. “Don’t ever call me again. The papers are all over it. You’re poison. You’d drag me down with you.”The line went dead.Second call: his cousin, Elaine.“Elaine, please. I know we haven’t spoken in a while, but I just—”“Darren.” Her sigh was heavy, disgusted. “You didn’t even call when my father died. And now you’re calling me

Krystal POVThe next week was nothing but silence in Darren Johnson’s office.But silence didn’t mean peace. It meant implosion.And the man who once sat so high on his leather chair, with his polished shoes and untouchable smirk, had no idea his carefully constructed tower was collapsing brick by brick.He thought he was the one playing chess. He didn’t realize I’d already moved his king into checkmate.Darren’s mother had died three days ago. A quiet, pitiful funeral—barely a dozen attendees, mostly relatives who were there only for the gossip. No wreaths from powerful clients. No colleagues from his old firm. Even the priest rushed through the prayers. Darren stood there hollow-eyed, trying to hold his younger brother together… except his younger brother didn’t last.The shame of being exposed online, the bullying, the endless stream of “Johnson the Fraud” hashtags—he couldn’t take it. And one night, the man who once clung to Darren as his only role model… ended it.Darren had to b
