Chapter 112

The morning was cold. The kind of cold that got into your skin and made your whole body ache. Vanessa stepped outside, hugging herself tightly. Her slippers made soft crunching sounds on the wooden porch. She squinted as the weak morning sun tried to break through the cloudy sky.

Then she saw him.

Andre.

He was sitting on the top step. His elbows rested on his knees, and his face was hidden in his hands. His coat hung loosely on his shoulders, and there was a half-empty whiskey bottle by his foot. The air around him smelled like smoke and something worse—sadness, maybe.

Vanessa’s heart stopped for a second.

He was still there. He had stayed out all night. In the freezing cold.

"Andre?" she called softly, her voice shaky.

He didn’t move right away. Then slowly, as if every bone in his body ached, he lifted his head.

His eyes were bloodshot, his hair disheveled, and his face looked older—like he had aged overnight.

"You're still here..." she whispered, stepping toward him ca

  • The Billionaire is a Jerk   *Blood Note*

    Chapter 114 The sky was a quiet painting of gold and lilac as the sun dipped toward the horizon, casting warm light over Andre Garcia's penthouse. There was no grand hall, no orchestra, no rows of white chairs. Just a wide porch wrapped around the front of Andre’s house, lit softly by hanging lanterns, white curtains, and fairy lights that twinkled like fireflies in the coming dusk. Andre stood at the far end of the porch, his hands clasped nervously behind him. He wore a grey suit, simple but perfectly tailored, the collar stiff with anticipation. His friend, Ethan, stood beside him—steadfast and grinning from ear to ear. His hand pressed on Andre's shoulder, giving him an occasional squeeze. Sarah adjusted her shawl beside Ethan, whispering something about how Andre had “finally grown up,” and they both chuckled. And then there was Stanley, arms crossed, face unreadable, but the faintest hint of pride rested in his dark eyes. He was a tough man to impress, but tonight, he could

  • The Billionaire is a Jerk   *Marry Me*

    Chapter 113Andre's POV:I woke up with a heavy chest-the kind of weight you feel when your world is starting to tilt out of its perfect axis. My fists clenched automatically, and I stared at the blinking screen of my phone. Message after message. Missed calls. Mentions. A dozen news alerts. All shouting the same line:"Garcia Heir Resigns for Pregnant Mistress."My jaw twitched. My thumb hovered over the article notification. I didn't need to read it to know what lies were spreading. An anonymous source leaked it. Not hard to guess who. Someone from the inside. Someone desperate.I gritted my teeth, eyes scanning the phone before I hit dial. Stanley. He instantly informed me that he'd successfully set the meeting with some people who liked my proposal, and that they were ready to invest after a meeting tomorrow morning. I was grateful for that. I'd always been scared to leave my father and go on my own, probably because I sold out the company name more than I sold out my own name. B

  • The Billionaire is a Jerk   *Love is Courage*

    Chapter 111Andre sat in the shallow end of the pool, arms stretched along the edge, a cigarette pressed between his fingers, a half-empty bottle of whiskey resting beside him. The water barely reached his chest, but it was enough to give him the illusion of peace. His eyes were bloodshot, his jaw tight, and his aura had grown cold and unreadable.It had been two months since everything fell apart. Two months since he had gone on detention and back twice, each time returning more broken than before. Two months since the chairman made sure to do everything to break him, systematically dismantling every piece of his life until the only thing that remained untouched was Vanessa—and even she felt like a ghost now, haunting the edges of his consciousness.His days were spent drowning in alcohol and smoke, each sip and drag a futile attempt to numb the ache that had taken permanent residence in his chest.Nights were even worse, haunted by guilt that clawed at him like razor-sharp talons, a

    Chapter 110Vanessa's POV:The TV flickered in front of me, but I wasn’t really watching it until I heard his voice.Andre.I sat straighter, clutching the throw pillow against my chest like it could somehow protect me. My heart, which had already been in a fragile state, thumped like a mad drum against my ribs.The press conference was live. His face filled the screen—calm, composed, devastatingly handsome, and utterly unreadable. The kind of face I once fell asleep beside, tracing the lines of his jaw in the darkness with the tips of my fingers."Mr. Garcia, rumors have been swirling about your upcoming wedding. Could you confirm the date?"My breath caught.He didn’t hesitate."The wedding will be held in six months."Six months.Just six months from now, Andre Garcia would be married.Then the camera shifted focus from him to the person beside him.Alisha.The smile on her face made my skin crawl. She leaned into him on the screen, far too close, like she wanted to remind the whol

  • The Billionaire is a Jerk   *Engagement*

    Chapter 109 Andre's POV: The sun was barely up when I stepped into my office, the usual clean scent of polished wood and burnt coffee waiting to greet me. The city below buzzed faintly, but up here, I was surrounded by silence—the kind that reminded you how quickly power can slip through your fingers. A week ago, I thought I had it all under control. I had given out keys, signed off on "thank you" packages from the safe—stock options, property shares, overseas luxury items. You name it. Stanley executed the plan with precision. We knew exactly which board members to target—the ones with weak spots, with pressure points you could exploit. I trusted that money would talk louder. But I underestimated the old man. Turns out, my father had his claws deeper in them than I thought. I had no one on my side. Not one. Stanley had given me the update with a grim face two nights ago, while Vanessa lay asleep in our bed upstairs. I remember looking at her, wondering how much longer I could
