~Eliza~

After tossing around in bed all night, I finally came to terms with it.

Luca was my cousin and that was that about that. No matter how much it hurt that he hadn’t said anything, there was nothing I could do about it.

I also had to accept that sooner or later, I was going to lose my Cynthia, my grandmother. Not to death, but the disease making its way slowly but surely through her body.

Luca told me that she barely remembered my mother anymore, which was why they had to take down the pic

  • The Billionaire's Obsession   Chapter 85

    ~Eliza~All hints of the peaceful calm that enveloped me only a moment ago disappeared.As the door burst open and Luca stormed in, I felt Atlas go still behind me. His body stiffened as he dropped his hand and straightened.“Stop yelling, Luca,” he said in a bored tone that was at odds with the tension in his frame.Luca stalked further into the room, his eyes fixed on me even as he shot back a terse, “You don’t get to give orders right now, West.”Then he sat on the bed beside me and picked up my hand. “Are you alright now, Eliza?” he asked, peering into my eyes.Tears sprang to my eyes at the sight of the genuine concern on his face. His lips were thin and stretched straight, while his eyes seemed slightly bloodshot.This was one of the few times anyone in my family had ever shown me any true form of kindness. It was… nice, really, really nice.I swallowed down the lump in my throat and nodded just as Luca’s eyes started to narrow in anger. I grasped his shirt sleeve before he coul

  • The Billionaire's Obsession   Chapter 84

    ~Atlas~It has been forty-eight hours.But my heart still hadn’t stopped its furious thrashing in my chest because I could still see the traumatizing image in my mind’s eye.I must have broken all the available traffic regulations ever made in my haste to get home two days ago. All I could think about was stopping Daniel from carrying out whatever plan he had cooked up.For him to have kicked the door open so violently, he definitely hadn’t gone to merely greet Eliza.I prayed as I had never done before that I wouldn’t be too late. But I almost did. I almost lost Eliza.After dashing out of the car, I raced through the open doorway. My heart nearly stopped as my eyes swept over what was happening in a single glance.Eliza was prone on the ground with Daniel astride her, muttering something in a guttural tone. She was letting out choked, rattled gasps while he seemed to be slamming her head onto the floor.Her arms were stretched out beside her in a limp way that made breathing suddenl

  • The Billionaire's Obsession   Chapter 83

    ~Eliza~“You heard me, Eliza,” Daniel snarled at me.My head reared back in delayed surprise because this was crazy.Of all the things I expected Daniel to say, that certainly wasn’t it. I mean, sure, I had thought he was here to confront me about the shares.But to say that about Atlas? That was simply the most insane thing I had ever heard him say.“Are you drunk or dumb?” I blurted, cocking my head to look at him properly.“Don’t patronize me,” he snapped in a sudden burst of anger.I jumped back, startled by his unexpected display of vehemence. Maybe I really needed to get the hell out of here before Daniel did…something.I raised my hands and started to speak slowly. “Listen, Daniel, I really don’t understand what you meant by that accusation. It’s not even true.”He let out a short, mocking laugh that sent shivers streaking down my spine. I felt the air on my arms stand in warning and I took another step back from him.“You really expect me to believe that?” he sneered callously

    ~Atlas~“We have to go over everything all over again,” Adam said gruffly and let out a heavy sigh.I nodded absentmindedly, my gaze still fixed on the other two people in the room, particularly Rachael.The moment Nickie had revealed that information, I noticed Rachael’s slight flinch from the corner of my eye. She had looked calm otherwise, aside from the telltale sign she let slip.Cole, on the other hand, just looked as surprised as the rest of us, as if he had had no idea about that little detail.I struck out his name from the three-person list I had in my head. He had told us everything he knew and involving him further would only put him at greater risk.Until this whole situation is resolved, he should return to the safehouse and take care of his younger sister.“Sir, we should—”I put up a hand to stop Adam from speaking. Then I turned to look at Cole. “Why don’t you go home now?”The words came out a little harsher than I intended, so I continued in a gentle tone. “I mean,

  • The Billionaire's Obsession   Chapter 81

    ~Atlas~Despite the seriousness of the situation, the corner of my lips curved up in a smirk.I had just gotten Eliza’s text and I knew it was just payback for my earlier actions. Since I'd been completely open with Eliza, I had confessed to all the times I had sabotaged the food I made for her.After overcoming her initial surprise, she had mumbled under her breath about getting back at me.I didn’t mind in the slightest. As long as Eliza had forgiven me for my mess-up, I had no qualms about doing whatever she wanted.Cocking my head, I picked up my phone to send a short text to Edna, the head of my staff at home. I had given them all paid leave when I brought Eliza into my house.At the time, I only wanted to have Eliza to myself. I also had been foolishly trying to keep her away from anyone else.Now, I know it was a silly idea, but back then, my only thoughts had been how to keep Eliza by my side forever.I shook my head with a small grimace as I typed out my instructions.“Is any

  • The Billionaire's Obsession   Chapter 80

    ~Eliza~The past two weeks have been… blissful.I could barely keep my grin off my lips as I slowly buttoned my clothes. And why should I even bother?For the first time in as long as I could remember, my life finally seemed to be on a good track. I was happy, I had the shares, and then the most amazing man as my husband.What more could possibly make me unhappy?Nothing, I decided, raising my chin slightly as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.The one thing left was to take back my company from Daniel and that was exactly what I intended to do today.My smile firmed into a grim resolve as I stared at myself. My chin was hard and unyielding while the look in my eyes was fiercely determined.No matter what happened today, Daniel was getting out of my rightful position. The same one that I had foolishly given away without a second thought.But that was in the past. Going forward, things were going to change for good.My phone buzzed with a special tone for text notifications that

    ~Eliza~“I didn't realize you found the idea of marrying me so distasteful, Eliza,” Atlas bit out, his gaze sharpening on me.“Well, for one, you are Daniel’s uncle,” I stated, widening my eyes at him incredulously. “What—”“Step uncle.”“will everyone think?” I finished determinedly.“Why do you c

    ~Eliza~Tingles spread from my head to my toes.I kept my eyes closed for a moment longer, trying to keep reality from rushing back in, but it was useless. Slowly, I opened my eyes.The ceiling above me was high and cream-coloured, with a pale light fixture at its centre. I turned my head and notic

    ~Eliza~“B-baby, what are you doing here?” Daniel asked breathlessly as he scrambled to pull up his trousers.The smile died on my trembling lips as I watched my sister slowly pull down her skintight skirt. She smirked at me.I had just entered Daniel’s office to share the most wonderful news, only

  • The Billionaire's Obsession   Chapter 4

    ~Atlas~After six long years, she was finally back in my life. Eliza Monroe.I was close enough to touch her, but now, she was unconscious on a hospital bed. And my nephew put her there.My hands curled into fists at my sides and I hated the feeling of helplessness curling through me.“What the hel
