The Billionaire's Curvy Prize NO MEETING WITHOUT QUEEN
The ride back to T&B Real Estate was suffocating. No one spoke. Not Richard.Not Melissa. Not even Ava, who was usually incapable of sitting through five minutes of silence.The only sounds inside the SUV were the low hum of the engine and the occasional vibration of someone’s phone that nobody bothered to answer.Richard stared out of the window, his jaw clenched so tightly that a vein pulsed at his temple.Melissa sat beside him, her laptop resting on her knees. She had no idea what to say.Every sentence she rehearsed in her head sounded like an excuse. Every excuse sounded pathetic.Ava sat in the back, stealing glances at both of them. She had never seen Richard this quiet.And somehow…That frightened her more than if he had shouted. The SUV finally rolled into the parking lot of T&B.Richard stepped out without waiting for anyone else. He didn’t look back. He didn’t say a word.He simply walked through the revolving doors with long, purposeful strides. Melissa hurried after him.
The Billionaire's Curvy Prize THE MISSING PIECE
The next morning… Williams Hospitality Headquarters was already alive.Executives moved through the marble lobby with purpose, assistants hurried between departments carrying reports, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee lingered through the executive floor.At exactly 8:15 a.m., the private elevator opened. Georgy Williams stepped out, adjusting the cuff of his navy suit.Lucas Bennett followed behind him, tablet in one hand and a leather portfolio in the other.“Good morning, sir.” “Morning, Lucas.” “You slept?” “Enough.” Lucas smiled. “I’ll take that as three hours.” “Four.” “A new record.”The corner of Georgy’s mouth lifted briefly. They walked toward his office together. Sarah was already waiting outside.“Good morning, Mr. Williams.” “Morning, Sarah.” She handed Lucas a folder.“The revised environmental compliance report arrived twenty minutes ago.” Lucas passed it to Georgy.He flipped through the pages as they walked. Halfway through, he stopped. “Page eighteen.” Lucas imm
The Billionaire's Curvy Prize THE STANDARD
The executive elevator doors slid open with a soft chime.Georgy Williams stepped out first. Lucas Bennett followed a pace behind, tablet tucked neatly beneath his arm.The executive floor came alive almost instantly. “Good morning, Mr. Williams.” “Morning, sir.” “Good morning.” Every employee who crossed his path greeted him.Georgy acknowledged each one with a nod or a quiet “Good morning.” He never hurried past people as though they were invisible.He believed respect wasn’t determined by job titles. A janitor pushing a cleaning cart accidentally dropped a stack of fresh towels.Without hesitation, Georgy bent down, picked up two of them and handed them back. “No rush,” he said calmly.“You’ll only have to pick them up twice if you panic.” The older man smiled sheepishly.“Thank you, Mr. Williams.” Lucas smiled to himself. No matter how many years he worked for Georgy, moments like that never surprised him.They simply reminded him why people respected the man. Not because he was
The Billionaire's Curvy Prize A MAN WORTH WATCHING
Three days passed. While Queen buried herself in work… Life moved just as relentlessly for Georgy Williams.The Williams family sat on a quiet stretch of land just outside Manhattan, hidden behind towering iron gates and centuries-old oak trees.The mansion was grand without being loud. Elegant. Timeless.It had belonged to the Williams family for generations, and despite owning penthouses across the country, Georgy still preferred coming home whenever he wasn’t traveling for business.The dining room was already alive with conversation. “You’re late.”Mrs. Eleanor Williams lowered her teacup and looked at her grandson over the rim of her glasses.Georgy glanced at the antique grandfather clock. “I’m forty-five seconds late.” His grandmother folded her arms.“Exactly.” Mia burst into laughter. “I told you Grandma would count.” Georgy pulled out a chair beside his younger sister and kissed the top of his grandmother’s head before taking his seat.“Good morning to you too, Grandma.” Hi
The Billionaire's Curvy Prize THE CALL SHE DIDN’T ANSWER
Queen’s smile slowly faded as her phone vibrated on the desk. The screen lit up.James Calling… Ava, who had been grinning from ear to ear moments earlier, glanced at the screen before looking back at Queen.Her smile disappeared. “…James?” Queen nodded quietly. Neither of them moved.The phone continued vibrating across the desk. Ava frowned. “You guys had a fight?”Queen kept staring at the screen. “I…” She hesitated. “I guess you could call it that.”Ava folded her arms.“Hold on.” “You’ve been at my place since yesterday.” “You packed clothes.”“Your laptop.” “Even your toiletries.” “You told me you just needed a little space.” She narrowed her eyes.“But you never actually told me what happened.” The ringing stopped. Silence settled between them. Then, almost immediatelyThe phone buzzed again. James Calling. Queen closed her eyes briefly. Ava noticed the uncertainty on her friend’s face.“Are you going to answer?” Queen slowly shook her head. “I don’t think I’m ready.”The words

Then he looked at Queen. A smile small, genuine, and full of quiet admiration appeared on his face.“Miss Queen.” Queen straightened. “Yes, Mr. Williams?” “I’ve attended hundreds of meetings like this.”He glanced around the table. “I’ve listened to countless presentations.” “But very few people understand a project the way you understand this one.”Queen felt warmth rise to her cheeks. “You didn’t just explain numbers.” “You explained purpose.”“And that’s much harder.” She lowered her eyes for a second. “Thank you, sir.”Georgy chuckled softly. His smile widened. “I think Georgy will do.” A few people around the table exchanged surprised glances.Queen smiled shyly. “Old habits.” “They’re allowed.” He stood from his chair.Immediately, everyone else followed. Richard hurried around the table. “Mr. Williams, thank you once again. We truly appreciate your time.”Georgy shook his hand. “The pleasure was mine.” He turned to Melissa. “Miss Grant.”She forced a smile. “Thank you.” Then he
