Chapter Nineteen—A drastic change

“You heard me right,” Julian rose to his feet, not backing down any moment, “I said the whore has you whipped. Have you gone soft Santiago?”

“Keep her name out of your mouth.” Justin muttered, his eyes already suggesting danger. He was practical, punching Julian in the mouth in front of the board of directors wasn’t helping his case. He was on thin ice already, with the lost shares and investors.

Julian chuckled softly, “Or what?” Turning to the baked, “It’s clear our CEO doesn’t know how to sift through his personal life and the company. I call for a review immediately.”

“A review?” Justin scoffed, “I’m not in the mood for this.”

He turned to leave again when Julian muttered, “Off to meet the whore I see.”

That was it. The final straw, breaking Justin’s last resolve. It didn’t take a blight to see the hard punch that landed Julian on the table, breaking it’s glass casing. Justin flexed his fingers

  • The Billionaire’s Atonement    Chapter Twenty-Eight—The first confession

    Chapter Twenty-Eight—The first confession Aiden’s eyes narrowed towards the rolls of toilet paper and spilled bottles of hand sanitizer on the floor, he snorted, “Someone’s in a terrible mood tonight.” Unappreciative of his snarky tone towards him, Justin folded his arms together, “Of course, it’s my wife’s guard dog.” “Ex wife,” Aiden corrected, “I don’t mind being Gianna’s guard dog. I’ll do anything to protect her.” “Protect her from what?” “You.” Tension loomed over as silence followed. Justin’s jaw tightened, Aiden’s fists folded. It was a clear show of their masculinity, with one wanting to topple over the other. Justin raced to come out on top, but tonight wasn’t about his wife’s overbearing aide. “I want to speak to Gianna.” “If you have any issues you can take it up with the— “Alone.” “Why?” Justin’s frown creased even deeper, “It’s personal.” Aiden chuckled soft

  • The Billionaire’s Atonement    Chapter Twenty-Seven—The Forbes Ball(3)

    Chapter Twenty-Seven—The Forbes Ball(3) Fate. It had a cruel way of wrangling two destinies together. Justin gulped hard as he walked towards the podium, where he was required to give a little speech, “Uhh good evening everyone. My name is Justin Santiago,the CEO of SAN limited and a former award winner of the Rising Pioneer award,” God this was stupid, he thought, pursing his lips before he continued, “The Rising Pioneer award is to showcase the prowess, hardwork and diligence of the new up and running millionaires. It’s also a reminder to every aspiring entrepreneur out there, that there is also a chance…a chance that you can make it if you believe in yourself.” Aiden couldn’t help but roll his eyes as the speech continued, “I’m pretty sure he doesn’t even believe in that boat load of crap Gi—“ he paused, seeing how pale she had gotten, “Gianna??” Gianna’s eyes were transfixed at the man speaking a few tables away from her, she felt the huge lump form i

  • The Billionaire’s Atonement    Chapter Twenty-Six—The Forbes Ball(2)

    Chapter Twenty-Six—The Forbes Ball (2) “Summer??” Clad in a fuchsia pink dress with an overlaying corset that was too tight for her newly done bust, Summer Henshaw flashed her former fling a wide grin. She wasn’t expecting to run into him tonight, but now that she did, after his evasion of her calls and texts, she had no intention of leaving him alone tonight. She was thirsty for a new story. Her agent was on the verge of dropping her as a client, as her barely good acting skills couldn’t land her on a decent. The blogs were also bored of her, not even her recent escapade with an Emirati prince caught the headlines. There was one man who could put her back up on the map, and make her heart flutter—Justin Santiago. She longed to get back in his good graces again, wanted to be part of his life again. She wanted to be his one and only wife. “Hi Justin.” She finally replied, fluttering her newly done lashes at him. He frowned deeply, the night

  • The Billionaire’s Atonement    Chapter Twenty-five—The Forbes Ball

    Chapter Twenty-five—The Forbes Ball Gianna stared at her reflection in the mirror. The Forbes ball. It was the Oscar’s of the business world, a night where the most important moguls of all time come towards a great cause. It wasn’t her first Forbes ball, as she’d attended before but as a plus one. The wife of Justin Santiago, when he was just a rising pioneer. Tonight she was attending as the important pioneer herself. She quickly caught a stray tear with the brink of her handkerchief, unwilling to ruin her makeup. She’d prepared so hard for tonight, every hard work she put in, it was all for tonight, to show the world Gianna Santiago wasn’t to be messed with. Aiden was right outside the apartment building when she stepped out. His eyes beamed with admiration, a part of him lust, his throat felt dry ,just from gawking at her beautiful curves that was accentuated by the skirt of her dress. Gianna could feel his lingering eyes on her, it made her a tad bit un

  • The Billionaire’s Atonement    Chapter Twenty-four—Games, dirty games

    Chapter Twenty—Four—Games, dirty games “There’s a package for you sir.” Belinda walked into her boss’s office right a few minutes after lunchtime. Justin was stressed, SAN limited was going through a crisis. All thanks to Gianna and her perfect plan to slander his name through the press, never in a million years did he think sleazy tabloids and blogs would be detrimental to the integrity of his company. They had lost over forty percent in profits, which was a mile he never thought he would reach. Julian was out to get him, apparently getting punched in the face for being loud mouthed had bruised his ego terribly, and so the motion of stepping down as CEO was being brought at the next meeting. He sighed deeply, atoning for his sins was a lot harder than he expected. He was down a path he wasn’t sure where the end goal was. On one side there was Gianna, who accused him of bringing her flowers—he was being framed, and then the other he was on the verge of losin

  • The Billionaire’s Atonement    Chapter Twenty-three—Friends?

    Chapter Twenty-three—A friend?? Gianna wiped off the trickle of sweat as she stepped outside the apartment building. Unbeknownst to her, she was holding her breath just from seeing Justin’s naked body as soon as the door opened. Damn him, she thought. He was as sexy as he was manipulative. She frowned deeply as the image of his hard rock abs remained imprinted on her mind, slamming the car door minutes later as she stormed into Aiden’s apartment. The scenery she saw next stunned her greatly. Candles, dimly lit candles on the dining table and a bouquet of red roses right at the center. She couldn’t help but smile as she strode into the kitchen, Aiden was humming to a love song as he stirred up some pasta in the pan. “Someone’s in a good mood,” she muttered, poking him from behind, “What’s the occasion?” Aiden turned around sharply, almost taken by surprise as he expected her arrival a lot sooner, “You’re back home early.” “Yeah,” she n

  • The Billionaire’s Atonement    Chapter Twenty-two—The framed CEO

    Chapter Twenty-two—The framed CEO Flowers, Justin thought as the stream of hot water coursed through his skin. It was a ludicrous idea, one that would probably make Gianna hate him even more. Mason’s suggestion was one to work for a normal being, but his relationship with Gianna at the moment was far from normal. He placed both hands on the bathroom walls, letting the water course its way down his head. It was the only moment of relaxation he enjoyed, one where he could think properly without his guilt eating him alive. He thought about Mason’s idea, it couldn’t hurt to try even though he knew she would probably send his flowers down to Dante’s seven rooms of inferno. He used to send her flowers all the time, right until their marriage went sour. She might think he was playing some sort of dirty game with her. He needed another plan, he was desperate to make amends with his ex wife before she sent his business plunging. It was taking a lot of effort, not

  • The Billionaire’s Atonement    Chapter Twenty-One—A peculiar lesson

    Chapter Twenty-One—A Peculiar Lesson “I’m sorry you want me to teach you what??” Mason Jenkins almost choked on the ribeye steak he just plunged into his mouth hours later. Justin frowned deeply, thinking it was probably a mistake inviting him over for lunch, “You heard me the first time.” Mason shook his head, a part of him wanted to die of laughter and the other genuinely felt bad for his friend, “I’m sorry but I don’t think I did. You want me to what??” Justin sighed deeply, he was too sober for this, grabbing the glass of water in front of him and downing it in one gulp, “I need you to teach me how to…how to— “Come on Justin. You can do this.” “I need you to teach me how to win my wife back.” “Atta boy.” Justin’s face almost went cherry with pure embarrassment. The universe cracking open and plunging him and everyone in it into an abyss of doom would’ve been a much better fate, instead he was here asking his best frien

  • The Billionaire’s Atonement    Chapter Twenty—Flowers

    Chapter Twenty—Flowers, so many flowers. There were flowers on the desk the next morning when Gianna stepped into the office again. Daffodils. No note, just like the first time. Just flowers placed carefully on her desk. The first time was a minor which she brushed off, now she was starting to get agitated. As usual, she paced back and forth in her office, whilst biting her fingers. It was only a matter of time before her nailbed was crushed to shreds. Aiden stared at her intently. She was in a state of panic, he couldn’t help but witness how good she looked in a pinstripe suit. It was a major change from the Gianna he knew three years ago. He remembered it all too well. How she managed to charm his father into investing in a so called startup company she was passionate about. He could remember how smitten he was by her, a shy and timid woman who walked past him and charmed his father in a matter of minutes—he knew that, his father wasn’t a man who was easily s
