The Billionaire's Distraction Chapter 30: Petty Adrian
Sasha stormed into her father's study without knocking, her heels striking the floor like bullets.“Daddy!” she whined, tossing her purse on the sofa. “You won't believe what that little trash did today—”She froze.Chairman Stratford was hunched over his desk, dropping a call with trembling hands. His face was red with fury.He slowly turned to her, his voice like a low growl.“What. Did. You. Do?”Sasha blinked, confused by his rage.“She—Daddy, that orphan slut you were defending had the guts to talk down to me! In front of everyone!”Her father’s face darkened further.“What did you call her?” he said, dangerously quiet.Sasha folded her arms, tossing her hair arrogantly.“What? It's true. You should have seen her. Acting all high and mighty. She's nothing but—”BAM!Chairman Stratford slammed his hand on the desk so hard Sasha jumped back.“Listen to me carefully, Sasha.” His voice shook with fury.“Thanks to your childish behavior, the contract I’ve spent six months negotiating—
The Billionaire's Distraction Chapter 29: Carrying Lucia's Cross
Adrian’s Office Adrian Sinclair’s office occupied the top floor of the Sinclair Enterprises Tower, a sleek glass skyscraper that pierced the Valemont skyline like a silver blade. The office, wide and minimalist, was an embodiment of quiet power and calculated elegance. Floor-to-ceiling windows framed a panoramic view of the bustling city, sunlight flooding in through tinted glass and casting long shadows across the marble floor. One side overlooked the harbor, where luxury yachts gleamed like polished teeth; the other side offered a clear view of the city’s financial district, as if to remind visitors of the empire Adrian commanded. The walls were matte charcoal, broken only by curated black-and-white photography and one large oil painting—an abstract swirl of red and gold that radiated silent tension. His desk was a custom-built monolith of ebony and brushed steel, bare save for a sleek laptop, a Montblanc pen, and a crystal decanter set that glinted like diamonds in the light. A

The Bentley stopped a few poles away from the campus entrance, just as the girls instructed. They stepped out cautiously, scanning their surroundings to make sure no one was watching. The last thing they needed was another scandal. They circled to the passenger window and tapped gently. “Thank you, sir, for dropping us off,” the trio echoed politely. The driver smiled. “Matthew. The name’s Matthew.” “Okay, thank you so much, Matthew,” Mia said on their behalf. “And thank your boss for us,” Lucia added with a polite nod. “Sure thing. You’re welcome, ma’am.” He bowed his head slightly to Sarah and Mia before driving off. Sarah checked her phone. “Thank God, it’s only 10 AM. We can still catch some classes.” Lucia and Mia turned to her, incredulous. “Classes? No way I’m going today,” Lucia said, already limping off. Mia scoffed. “Seriously, Sarah? After all this? Girl, we need a break.” She jogged to Lucia’s side, and the two called for Sarah to catch up. With a sigh, Sarah tu
The Billionaire's Distraction Chapter 27: What did I miss?
Downstairs, Adrian was dressed in his casual wear, scrolling through his tablet. His assistant, Mr. Alex—a tall, bespectacled, and loyal young man—walked in with a suitcase and some documents. He was confused as to why he had been asked to bring the documents home.“Sir, the chauffeur is waiting outside for you.”Adrian sighed and dropped his tablet, crossing his legs elegantly.“I’ve told you, Alex, I’m working from home today. Can I have the documents, please?”He stretched out his hand, but Mr. Alex didn’t hand them over. He just stood there with furrowed brows, puzzled by his boss’s recent changes. The Adrian he knew never worked from home. In fact, he was almost never home, sometimes spending nights at the office. This all seemed strange to him.“Sir, why are you doing this? Is there a problem? Are you sick? Should I call Dr. Rohan?”He made to dial the number, but Adrian stopped him.Rubbing his temple in exhaustion, Adrian looked worn out. He hadn’t had much rest, and it was st

Lucia’s eyes flicked between Adrian and the empty nightstand where her phone should have been. “I just…” She trailed off, not wanting to admit the rising panic curling in her chest. “I need to talk to my friends.” Adrian nodded once. “They’re on their way.” She blinked. “They’re what?” “I sent Ethan to pick them up an hour ago,” he said, settling into the sleek armchair across from her. “Mia insisted. Sarah was worried about you ” “You… let them in?” Her brows drew together in disbelief. “They were threatened to tear down my gates.” Lucia let out a soft, involuntary laugh. “Sounds about right.” Adrian watched her carefully. “You looked better this morning,” he said, voice steady. “But if you feel anything—dizzy, weak, anything at all—you need to tell me.” Lucia nodded slowly. There was a strange softness in him now—quiet but firm. Protective, but not suffocating. It wasn't something she was used to or was willing to get used to,she didn’t quite know what to do with it.

SINCLAIR ESTATE – JUST BEFORE DAYBREAKThe sky was a soft indigo hue, stars fading as the first breath of morning light touched the city of Valemont. The mansion was still—its silence only broken by the distant humming of security drones and the occasional rustle of trees swaying in the early dawn wind.Adrian Sinclair stepped out of his car, jaw set, knuckles still faintly red from the night’s brutality. His coat was stained at the sleeves from blood that wasn’t his.He entered his home quietly.Straight to the elevator. Straight to the topmost floor. His floor.When the door to his massive monochrome room opened, the cool air wrapped around him, but it didn’t chill him.His eyes immediately found her.Lucia.Curled beneath the silky covers of his black and grey bed. Her cheeks now bore a healthier hue—rosy, warm. Her breaths were deeper. Peaceful.The tension in his chest loosened.She was better.Carefully, he walked to the foot of the bed, eyes lingering on her face. Then, satisfi
