Chapter 80

Vanessa's POV:

After spending the night creating different scenarios of how the theatre night might play out—from disastrous to dreamy—I woke up feeling like I had swallowed a hive of bees.

Not butterflies—bees. Angry bees buzzing my chest and stomach.

I paced my room in a complete daze, muttering to myself while digging my fingers into my skin. My eyes darted to the clock every few seconds like it would somehow calm me down, but it didn't. It was ridiculous. Absurd.

I had survived months under Mr. Garcia, endured his cold, emotionless stares, rude remarks, and the relentless pressure of trying to prove my worth in that chaotic office where I could find my place. I had cried my eyes out in storage closets, screamed silently in the washroom, had days where I felt worthless, and almost quit more times than I could count.

But now?

Now that he was smiling at me instead of scowling, holding my hand instead of handing me loads of paperwork, kissing my forehead instead of trying t

  • 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   *Can't Let Go*

    Chapter 112The 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   *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

    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

  • The Billionaire is a Jerk   *Wager*

    Chapter 108Andre's POV:The morning light spilled through the curtains like a gentle nudge, stirring me from sleep. Vanessa lay beside me, her breaths soft, her skin warm against the sheets. There was something peaceful about watching her sleep. She stirred slightly, curling closer, and for a moment, I considered staying in bed and ignoring everything else.But life never gives me that luxury.I kissed her cheek gently, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'll be back soon," I whispered, barely disturbing the silence.Her eyes fluttered open, drowsy and questioning. "Where are you going?""Stanley's downstairs. Needs to talk," I said, grabbing my robe. "Go back to sleep. I’ll join you before you miss me."She nodded, snuggled in the blanket and drifted back to the edges of unconsciousness.Downstairs, Stanley stood in the living room—rigid posture, impeccably pressed shirt and charcoal slacks, worry etched into the lines around his eyes. I already knew whatever he had to say w
