The Billionaire Who Bought Me

By the time the deal was signed, I had everything I’d ever wanted—except her.“Sir, the emails have been sent,” Kace said, voice bright with relief.“Good.”I leaned back in my chair, staring through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Another contract won. Another victory that felt strangely empty.“Just like the others,” I muttered. We’d won countless deals in just two years.You’re doing well, son. I’m proud of you.Dad’s words echoed in my head. Years of sleepless nights, board meetings, and billion-dollar risks were finally paying off—or at least, they should have felt that way.My phone buzzed.The Unicorns. My high school graduation group.I scrolled through the feed—beach vacations, wedding rings, baby photos. Everyone seemed to be living. Meanwhile, I was buried in deadlines and champagne meetings that never felt like celebrations.My stomach twisted. The office suddenly felt smaller. I tugged at my tie, reached for the water bottle, and tried to swallow the unease crawling up my t

Damian woke with a splitting headache and the weight of his choices pressing on his chest.He remembered the wedding, the whiskey, and that stranger’s voice — “Why don’t you hire a cookie?”But it wasn’t just the alcohol talking. The idea had stuck.He had money — more than he’d ever need — yet he couldn’t buy peace. Not love. Not closure. Maybe what he needed wasn’t comfort… maybe it was distraction.On his phone screen, the link still glowed, he was now in the website"Need a cookie? Adults only"He knew what it meant he didn't hesitate. He clicked the link conciously, he was no longer the little Damian they held by the hand and directed what to do.The CEO of Cross Holdings he knew exactly what to do and the steps he was taking.He entered his details, chose a location — the Black Orchid Hotel — and hit confirm.When he closed his eyes that night, he wasn’t sure if he wanted company or punishment.***The next morning*** (Damian's Pov)This morning felt different, we have just roun

Her words lingered long after the silence swallowed them.Damian's POV:I wasn’t sure if she meant to tease me or warn me — but either way, I was already in too deep. The way she looked at me, with that blend of mystery and quiet defiance, did something to me. For the first time in a long while, I wasn’t the one in control.I tried to laugh it off, to push back the weight of what I was feeling, but her eyes held me still. That night wasn’t supposed to mean anything — it was meant to distract me, to make me forget. Yet here I was, remembering every second."We'll finish what we came here for" I said giving her a mischievious smile, the demon in me had woken.In a second, I grabbed Aria to the bed, taking her silver silk gown from her. I could hear her soft breath lightly over her skin.Her skin stood flawlessly, smooth and perfect, shining bright like glass. Before she should realize it, I grabbed her soft, plump lips into mine. The kiss lingered and left us panting lightly."Something

“What?” My voice came out sharp, low, dangerous.“It happened just now. The bank flagged it as suspicious, but the transfer already went through. Sir, what do we do?I froze, mind racing.“Find out who did it,” I said, each word a command. “Now.”Kace nodded and ran out.I stared once more at the paused footage—the shadow of the man beside Aria.And for the first time in years, I felt the ground shift beneath me.**Aria's POV**I quietly shut the door of the VIP suite behind me, resting my back on it. I breathed a sigh of reliefMy phone buzzed with a notification. A message from an unknown number read "Job done, I will transfer the money to you bank account". I immediately received my payment.That night was meant to be like every other night with other client, but what I didn't understand was I didn't know what I was doing.I spread the butter evenly on my bread, that was the previous night and it's morning I have to prepare myself."Thank God for Mr Billionaire I would have been k

*Damian's POV* The air between the walls tightened. The company has achieved a lot this year—three multibillion contracts were no small feat. We expected opposition but not this kind. I bit my lower lip I looked at Kace. She was worried, she haven't had a goodnight rest, trying to trace the leak. Every face in the room was sharp with accusation, and I could feel the weight of their judgment pressing on my chest "Mr. Damian, an investor threatened to withdraw if this issue is not resolved immediately!" a share holder barked. “I said I’m handling it,” I replied, trying to keep my tone steady even though my patience was cracking. “That’s what you said yesterday!” another snapped. “Now there’s a police inquiry, and our shares are falling by the hour!” I turned. Who in the world would said that? I took a deep breath I had to calm my troubled employees, this was indeed a dark moment. Before I could respond, Rachel stood. Her heels clicked sharply against the floor — t
