{HERMIONE}

“Congratulations, Samuel Larson. You’re officially the personal assistant to Ms Hermione Bennett, the CEO of D-Egnite Tech Brand.”

Zara says it like she’s hosting the Grammys, and I can’t help but laugh out loud.

She’s forcing this fake professional tone, even though nothing about Zara is professional. Not even her face and her expressions.

I shake Samuel’s hand. His palm is a little damp, but his face is beaming with enthusiasm. Like he just won a scholarship or something.

He looks like he’s been waiting for this moment his whole life.

But honestly, I know for a fact he’s been in Zara’s DMs for two straight months begging to take this role after the launch.

“Nice having you, Samuel,” I finally say.

“Thank you so much, Ms Bennett.”

His voice is steady, but there’s this tiny crack in it. He’s trying to keep it together, but I can tell he’s nervous.

The problem is… I have no idea what to assign him yet. Today blew up way beyond what I was ready for.

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {120} Who The F*ck Is That?!

    {HERMIONE} FOUR DAYS LATERWe’ve been on board for four hours already and I’m pretty sure one more hour will have me using this vomit bag. My stomach is doing some weird uneasy rolls and I have to press my hand against it to keep it calm.I sit back in my seat and my fingers are already hurting. I’ve been tapping on this keyboard for the last four days straight, getting the slides ready for my speech. I’m so fucking envious of Zara sitting next to me. She’s just relaxing into her seat, sipping a smoothie and watching some Korean drama on her phone. She isn’t even bothering to turn the sound down.The time on my screen says 11:03 am.It’s already three hours before I’m on stage in front of the investors and the owner of this whole project, Mr. Shing. He’s a big name in China, known for spaceship tech. This deal will skyrocket my company into the billions.But God, I’m fucking stressed.Samuel walks over and leans into my aisle. “Ma, please. Let me take the laptop. You need a few min

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {121} Gimme A Kiss Adam!

    {ADAM}The club connects with a solid thwack that feels good in my hands. The little white ball flies up into the blinding, blue sky of Dubai.“WOOOOO! YES, ADAM! THAT’S MY MAN!”The screaming cheer from behind me is so loud, it's shaking my eardrums. I turn my head and see Diana jumping near the golf cart, her hands covering her mouth like she just watched me win the Super Bowl.Dave is leaning against the cart, sipping a beer, looking like he’s trying not to laugh. “For God’s sake, Diana, it’s just a drive,” he calls out to her.“But he hit it so far!” she squeals back, her eyes wide and fixed on me.I can’t help the smirk that curves on my lips. Watching her is ridiculous, but kinda funny.We all watch the ball as it sails far, but my hook is a little off today. Instead of landing on the fairway, it disappears into a line of palm trees and scrubby bushes.“Damn!” I mutter.“No, no, no! It’s okay!” Diana scrambles, pulling at the sleeve of my golf partner, a quiet guy named Mart

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {120} I'm Not Ready To See Him

    My period came out last night. Just a single, stupid drop after a whole week of waiting for it. And since that one drop last night, there’s been nothing.My stomach caves in with panic. I take the clean pad out and flush it down the toilet, washing my hands in the tap.I quickly shut the bathroom door and rush back outside.I sit back down and my masseur starts again on my feet.“What the heck did you go to do?” Zara asks, her eyes closed in bliss.“My period is acting weird,” I tell her, keeping my voice low. “First, it was a week late. Then it finally came out last night, but it was just one drop. And since last night… till now, nothing.”“Stress!” Zara screams, like she’s diagnosing a disease. “Mine skips whenever I’m stressed.” She suddenly starts counting on her fingers. “The court case, getting kidnapped by... my future husband—” I roll my eyes so hard, this girl's fucking insane.“And oh, a fucking wedding! Bitch, we’ve been on a rollercoaster of events and it’s all thanks

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {119} How Much Does He Hate Me?

    The plane doors open and a rush of thick air hits me right on the face.It doesn't feel heavy, though. It feels… ALIVE!I breathe it in and let it fill my lungs before letting it out.“Oh my God, breathe that in!” Zara yells from behind me, taking a huge, dramatic gulp of air as well. “That’s the smell of no fucking problems!”I can’t even help but laugh. She’s right. It smells like flowers and freedom. It’s not like the city air back home.We walk down the white steps of the plane onto the tarmac, and the sun is so bright it makes me squint my eyes. I can already feel my shoulders relaxing. I didn't even know they were that tensed.A shiny yellow car is already waiting for us, and a driver in a simple white shirt and black cap holds the door open for us."Thank youuuu," I squeal at him while we hop in.The air inside is a bit cold from the air conditioning, and the seats are soft cream-colored leather.As the car drives away from the airport, I roll my window down just a little bit

  • The Billionaire's Breaking Point    CHAPTER {118} I Want Him! I Want All Of Him!

    "You're judging me too much, babe. I never judged you for loving your total crisis of an ex-husband." Zara's voice comes out from the bathroom, all muffled from the toothpaste foam in her mouth.I roll my eyes because I'm so tired of explaining this shit to her. My knees are actually hurting from too much kneeling on this hard floor. I’ve been trying to put all our half-packed suitcases and scattered clothes together for the past hour, and I finally have to just sit down on the floor."Babe, you ain't saying anything?" she asks, her voice a little clearer now."What do you want me to say, Zara?" I sigh, leaning back against my bed. "He's got a terrifying past. He kidnapped me and my sister. Like, about two weeks ago, I'm pretty sure he wanted us dead. And oh, I must have missed the delicious part. The police are still after him."I shake my head, talking more to myself than to her. "How is that hot to you, babe? THAT MAN'S DANGEROUS!!!""Ohhhh, bitch, that's super fucking hot!”“Di

    “You know… I don't know what you drugged my brother with.”“He’s the only one that didn’t go insane amidst all this. He’s the only one that’s been trying to hold me together, keeping me from losing my fucking shit.”“He’s the one that went and fell in love with the enemy’s daughter.”“I don’t know how the fuck it happened. I don’t know what the fuck you gave him.”“His love went ahead and messed up all our plans, but… right now, I’m fucking thankful that it did.”He stares at me for a few silent seconds. “He loves you beyond anything you’ll ever understand.”A soft gasp pulls out my lips, but I have to make sure Adam didn't send him here to say this. “Did he send you here to tell me this?” I ask.He blurts out a quiet laugh and kills it immediately. “I don’t even know where the fuck Adam is. He ain’t taking my calls.”“The last time I saw him, he busted my left eye for taking you.” He points at a faint, healing cut on the lower lid of his left eye.The sight of it almost makes me ch
