"What?"

Annabelle wasn't just shocked—she was gutted. Disappointed beyond words. She had been banking on that one window of freedom to slip away and maybe figure out a way to escape from this twisted setup. But it slammed shut before she even had the chance to peek through.

Richard turned with that same devil-may-care smirk carved across his irritatingly handsome face. He shot a knowing glance between Marc and Annabelle, clearly basking in her dismay like it was his favorite show on TV.

"Good job, Marc. If Miss Hamilton needs anything else, take care of it. I wouldn't want my personal maid to face any inconvenience," Richard said coolly before striding towards the inner door of the study. His voice dripped with amusement, and his parting glare made Annabelle want to throw something.

Inside his room, Richard peeled off his shirt, changed into loungewear, and collapsed back onto the bed, head resting on the bedpost. That insufferable smirk still lingered on his face.

"Miss Hamilton," he

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Night   The Maid Who Wouldn't Bow

    The ballroom shimmered with lights and whispered conversations, but the moment Julia's voice sliced through the air, Annabelle knew trouble had arrived."Well, well... Miss Annabelle Hamilton. Didn't expect to see you here."Annabelle lifted her head slowly, her gaze sharp behind the mask of indifference. She arched a brow, hiding a smirk behind her glossed lips."Excuse me, do I know you?" she blinked her sea-green eyes innocently, her voice dripping with poised confusion.It was a fair question. She'd never formally met Julia. Just because the woman worked under Richard didn't mean she had any reason to recognize his guest. That single line from Annabelle hit Julia like a slap. She had marched in to mock and humiliate—but now she stood awkwardly, her confidence wavering in front of her curious circle of friends.Ruby, quick to jump in, stepped forward and looked Annabelle up and down with a sneer. "Julia, who is she?"She wasn't a good liar, and her fakeness was as visible as the gl

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Night   Queen of the Wrong Castle

    "Mr. Barton, Miss Annabelle's not home," the young maid said, twiddling her thumbs and trying her best to act innocent. "Aunty Lily told her not to leave without your permission, but she said she can't put her personal work on hold for anything—or anyone—and just walked off."She paused for effect, batting her lashes like she hadn't just snitched with full intent. "Honestly, sir... she's kind of... disrespectful. Not just to Aunty Lily, but to you as well."The girl's sugary tone couldn't hide the envy laced in her voice. Like most of the mansion's young staff, she was secretly jealous. Annabelle wasn't just strikingly beautiful and whip-smart, but somehow she'd managed to catch the attention of the one man none of them had even dared to dream about—Richard Barton. Their aloof, intimidating, devastatingly handsome boss who barely spared any of them a glance.This was her moment. The perfect opportunity to plant a little seed of poison in the boss's mind.Richard's jaw ticked. He was a

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Night   The Invisible Cage

    Annabelle stepped into the room, her eyes landing on Richard—seated as usual behind his oversized desk—and Marc standing to his right like a loyal second-in-command.Strangely enough, she felt a flicker of relief seeing Marc there. Facing Richard Barton alone was like walking into a lion's den blindfolded.So he really was waiting for me? That means he told the guards to block me from leaving on purpose? Seriously, what now?The thought made her blood boil again. She clenched her jaw and marched forward."Mr. Barton, what's the meaning of this?" she snapped, voice firm but not loud. "Why weren't the guards letting me leave? I know damn well it was your order, so why don't you cut the act and explain? What exactly are you trying to pull?"Marc flinched internally. That tone. Again. He jumped in immediately, trying to douse the flames. "Miss Hamilton, maybe just... lower your tone? Speak respectfully?"Richard shot Marc a look—half warning, half amusement—and then turned back to Annabel

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Night   Obsession Reloaded

    SMASH.A loud crash of breaking glass echoed through the top floor of the mansion.Another set of fine cutlery had just met its tragic fate—shattered against the wall, another victim of Richard Barton's short fuse.No one flinched. Not the maids, not the guards, not even the butler. This wasn't new. Richard's temper tantrums were practically part of the decor at this point.Except for Marc.He knew something was off today. Richard wasn't just angry—he was on edge, pacing like a lion in a cage. And for what? Marc had a pretty solid guess: Annabelle.Yep. It all started the moment Lily said Annabelle had gone to her university after finishing her morning tasks.Marc sighed and headed up to the master bedroom.The scene in Richard's room was pure chaos. A coffee mug lay shattered near the opposite wall, a crime scene in ceramic. Pillows were scattered all over, like a mini tornado had whipped through. And there stood Richard—hands on hips, his back rigid, facing away from the door.Richa

  • The Billionaire's Forgotten Night   A Ghost Named Annabelle

    Julia was always smug about being the only woman allowed near Richard Barton. In her head, she wasn't just another employee—she was the woman in his life. His right hand. His not-so-secret favorite. It was every other woman's fantasy in the city to be close to Richard, and she was living it.She was convinced that beneath that cold, gruff exterior, Richard had a soft spot for her. He just didn't know how to show it—too uptight, too stoic. But one day, he'd crack, and she'd be right there to catch him. She could already see it: his eyes dark with want, his voice low with confession. All in due time.But that delusion got a hard slap when Richard handed her a bizarre order himself, bypassing Marc, his usual go-to guy.Set up a girl.Julia blinked. A girl?Who the hell is she? And why the hell is Richard interested in her?It wasn't just the task that made Julia squirm, it was the way he said it—curt, final, no room for questions. She couldn't even get a name out of him.Later, she found
