The Billionaire Who Wants Me Next Chapter One hundred and Nine
Elara The message from Alistair lingered in my thoughts long after sunrise. No one has seen him. The words followed me through every part of my morning routine. As I made coffee, organized my desk, and answered routine emails, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the missing executive’s disappearance was connected to everything we had uncovered over the past few months. The hidden office.The secret meeting.The sealed envelope.The board meeting. Individually, each discovery had raised questions. Together, they formed something much larger. I tried to focus on my ordinary responsibilities, but my attention kept drifting back to the folders stacked neatly beside my laptop. If I had learned anything during this investigation, it was that answers often hid inside details everyone else dismissed. By late morning, I gave in. I spread my notes across the dining table. Photographs.Guest lists.Seating arrangements. Business programs. Personal observations. Everything I had collected

Elara My fingers tightened slightly around my evening bag as I slipped my phone back inside. Don’t leave yet. Something is about to happen. Alistair never sent messages like that without reason. From where I stood, the ballroom remained as elegant as ever. Crystal chandeliers bathed the room in warm light, a string quartet continued its performance, and guests laughed over glasses of champagne as though the evening had reached its natural conclusion. Anyone walking into the gala at that moment would have seen nothing except wealth, influence, and celebration. But I had already learned that appearances rarely told the whole story. Without drawing attention to myself, I wandered toward a quieter section of the ballroom, stopping beside a display of fresh orchids that offered a clear view of the hallway leading to the private conference rooms. The entrance wasn’t blocked. It didn’t need to be. Only people who already knew where they were going seemed interested in walking that

Elara The invitation rested on my vanity long before I was ready to open it again. It looked no different from countless others I had received over the years—heavy ivory paper, elegant gold lettering, the unmistakable Valmont Group crest embossed across the front. To anyone else, it was an invitation to a prestigious charity gala. To me, it was another move in a game I was only beginning to understand. After everything Alistair and I had uncovered, I couldn’t believe the timing was accidental. I dressed carefully that afternoon, choosing a midnight-blue gown that was sophisticated without demanding attention. The fewer eyes that lingered on me, the easier it would be to observe everyone else. When I stepped into Alistair’s office before leaving, he was already reviewing reports from his security team. He looked up briefly. “You know what tonight is.” “I do.” “You’re there to observe.” “Not participate,” I finished. A faint smile touched his lips. “You’ve been paying atten

Elara The hidden office stayed on my mind long after I returned to Alistair’s penthouse. The building itself had looked ordinary enough, but nothing about what happened inside had been ordinary. The nervous employee, the careful arrivals, the lack of company signage—it all pointed toward something designed to remain invisible. The next morning, Alistair was already in his office when I walked in carrying my notebook. Several photographs from the surveillance team covered one of the monitors. Maps, timelines, and financial reports occupied the others. He barely looked up before motioning me toward the chair across from him. “Let’s start from the beginning.” For the next several hours, we reconstructed everything connected to the location. Every vehicle I had seen. Every face that entered.Every minute between arrivals.Every route the employee had taken. Alistair compared my observations with information his investigators had quietly gathered over the previous months. Individuall

Elara The next morning began without answers. Alistair’s message from the previous night still lingered in my thoughts as I prepared for the day. He had instructed me to keep my schedule completely clear, but he hadn’t explained why. That alone told me whatever came next required flexibility. At exactly eight o’clock, another secure message appeared on my phone. A single address. A photograph of a commercial office building. Three short instructions. Observe. Do not engage. Trust your instincts. No further explanation followed. I stared at the image for a moment before committing the building’s exterior to memory. It was one of several properties connected to the Valmont family’s business operations—not their headquarters, but an administrative office responsible for financial coordination and regional management. Ordinarily, I would have expected Alistair to send professional investigators. Instead, he had sent me. Not to gather confidential files.Not to attend another

Elara For the first time in what felt like weeks, my calendar was empty. No networking luncheon. No charity gala. No discreet invitations. No carefully orchestrated opportunities to overhear conversations that were never meant for me. The silence should have felt comforting. Instead, it felt temporary. Experience had taught me that every quiet moment in this investigation was simply the pause before another move. I decided to make use of it. My dining table soon disappeared beneath stacks of documents, handwritten notes, company reports, business cards, and copies of schedules I had gathered over the past several weeks. When I first began helping Alistair, every discovery had seemed isolated. A suspicious conversation here.An anonymous invitation there. An executive behaving strangely.A delayed negotiation.A concealed meeting. Now, they no longer looked like separate incidents. They looked connected. I picked up colored markers and began dividing everything into catego
