My knees tremble as I stare at the empty table in the middle of the sitting room.

“I sure as hell left that PC on top of there last night. Where the hell is it?”

My feet drag forward toward the table and I push out the slim drawers to check if I somehow tucked it in there, but they're empty.

Both the first, second, and third drawers. All empty.

I crouch down and peek under the sofas, but they're all neatly cleaned with nothing under them.

My stomach drops.

“Jesus Christ!”

My hands dig into my hair, as if they'll help calm down the sea of thoughts jamming together all at once.

“Zara!?” I call out and she finally rushes out of the room. “I can't find my laptop!”

Her eyes widen. “What do you mean?” she asks.

My stomach burns really hard like I have acid in it, looking at Zara's shocked face. That means she also doesn't know where the hell it is.

“I left it on top of there last night,” my hand gestures to the empty table as we both look at it again, as if it will suddenly appear back the

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {38} Adam on His Knees

    The way the soft light kisses the sharp angles of his face… his perfectly gorgeous face that does things to my body even before he comes close.His expression is a mix of sad defeat as he chews, and he is avoiding his eyes shifting back to me.I look at the man I fell in love with. The man my heart has refused to let go of.He isn’t the arrogant fuckface that used to cause problems for me. He’s just Adam. My Adam.For a second, my heart screams at me. It feels like two people fighting in there.One that wants me to believe he’s just scamming me. That he has a plan for arranging all of this tonight.And the other one… the other one just wants me to jump on him. Right on that seat of his and kiss him so hard that we both lose our breaths to each other.I just want to forget everything that ever happened between us, even if it’s just for a few seconds.Because despite how sweet every meal on this table is, nothing can ever compare to how intoxicated I feel when I'm lost in Adam’s arms.

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {37} Stop Staring At Me, Adam!

    He walks over to my side of the table. My whole body goes on alert. What is he doing?He stops right behind me. I can feel the heat from his body even though he isn’t touching me yet. I sit completely still, my back straight, trying to act like I don't care.Then I feel his hands touch my neck, and my body flinches hard.“Relax,” he murmurs with that smoky voice.He spreads a necklace across my neck, but I can't see what it looks like.I touch it and it's a diamond. It feels cold against my skin for a second, before it warms up. His fingers brush my neck as he tries to find the clasp. His touch is light, but it's like fire against my skin. His breath is warm on my cheek and he is so close. Why is he taking so long?“Aren’t you done?” I bite out.His hands still for a moment. “Just calm down, my love,” he says.And his voice… it’s different. It’s the softest I have ever heard it. There’s no trace of arrogance in it. It’s just soft. The sound of it does something stupid to my stomac

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {36} Close Your Eyes, Baby

    The elevator door slides open without a sound.My heart is pounding right up into my throat. I step out, and my feet glue themselves to the floor instantly.The whole damn balcony floor is made of glass. I can see the entire city down there, tiny lights spreading out like a net waiting to catch me if I fall. It’s gorgeous and it makes me want to be sick. It makes my head feel light and my feet wobbly, as if they're threatening to fall.I feel like I'll drop all the way down into the city and smash my bones if my heels crack the glass.My hands wrap around my body, feeling the goosebumps gathering on my skin.I force my head up and finally, there he is.The bastard is standing there like he owns the entire planet.Dressed in his stupid white shirt and pants like he's starring in a romance movie, but I know the devil that lives underneath all that.He looks too calm, and that just feeds the rage boiling deep inside me.I drag my eyes away from his face and take in the scene. A woode

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {35} I Ruined Her Birthday!

    {ADAM}I check my watch, it’s already 8:43 pm.Maybe she just gave up. Maybe she really isn’t coming.The damn thought sits in my gut like a heavy stone. I look over at her silver laptop, sitting right there on the wooden table where I left it for her. If she doesn’t show up tonight, I’ll have Six send it back to her first thing in the morning. I can’t hold it for a whole week, no matter what I threatened; she needs it for her work, and starving her of her own dreams is a fucking stupid way to win her back. It was a desperate, shitty thing to do.I stand up and start pacing the length of the glass balcony, the city lights spread out beneath me like a carpet of fallen stars. “Shit, should I just call her?” My hand fucking itches to grab my phone.My eyes drift to Six, standing stiff and silent by the elevator doors like a ghost.Asking him would be a bad idea. I'm sure he thinks I’ve completely lost my damn mind, turning the top of my own hotel to a romance movie scene.But the si

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {34} Focus! This Is Not Why You're Here

    Officer Miller rolls down his window and presses the intercom button at the gate.“Good morning. Police officers here with a search warrant for Adam Hilton,” his voice comes out distorted through the speaker.The gates begin to open slowly, and my heart immediately tries to climb out of my throat.“You sure you’re ready for this?” Zara whispers from the seat next to me. She decided to stay in the car at the last minute, saying it felt too much like “ganging up” and might feel disrespectful to Adam.I think she's right. Or maybe she's just scared of Adam and what he might do.I don’t even feel ready. I feel sick. But I nod anyway. “I have to be.”My eyes are glued to the house, and then they drift to the side, towards the backyard where the pool is.That’s when I see the fuckface we came here for. And my lungs seize up.He's standing by the pool, shirtless, wearing only a pair of his perfectly fitted black trousers. The afternoon light hits his chest, highlighting every muscle. He’s

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {33} Oh My God! This Is Really Happening

    My hands will not stop shaking.I sit in the cold silver chair at the police station and I press my palms down on my thighs to try and make them still, but it's not working. Everything inside me feels like it is vibrating with a scared, angry energy.Zara sits next to me. She hasn’t said a word for the last five minutes. Something about her face makes me want to laugh.She just keeps looking from my face to the busy police officers walking around, and then back to my face.I feel like I might throw up. My stomach is twisting into knots so tight it actually hurts to breathe deeply. What am I even doing here? This is Adam Hilton. He has lawyers for his lawyers. How will this even affect him?“But he already destroyed you,” a small, angry voice whispers in my head. “He took your laptop. He cost you 20 million dollars today. What else can he take?”“Hermione Bennett?” My heart jolts as I hear my name.A dark haired police officer with a notepad in his hand is standing in front of us. H
