Azalea’s POV

“What…why?" My voice came out heavy with emotions.

I was a few seconds away from bursting into tears. Again, another effect of the pregnancy hormones.

“You are infected with those freakish things that destroy a woman's shape and beauty. You are shapeless. You are the most ugly thing I've ever seen. You have zero fashion sense so I wonder how the hell you will be dressing a high class one of a kind model like me.” She paused for a moment to catch her breath.

“And lastly, the only difference between you and a homeless beggar is that you are the first to stand in front of an award winning beautiful model like me." She finished, fanning herself like she was on fire.

My world felt like it had crumbled as everyone stopped what they were doing to watch Ciara Cowell's interaction with me.

“You can't fire me, you didn't hire me."

My whole body began to shake under the intense stare of the other employees and Ciara Cowell.

I have always hated attention. Whenever people stared

  • The Billionaire's Perfect Mistake    Chapter 80

    Ace's POVI sent a quick text to my secretary, giving her the confirmation to post what I found out about my dad. It had been a few weeks since my meeting with Jack and he had promised to help me bring down my father. He gave me all the evidence that showed his crimes of money laundering, corruption, and embezzlement. Very soon, he would be arrested and be locked up for good ten years. I wished I could get something that would make him disappear from our lives completely, but that was it for now. I leaned back into the seat of my car that was parked in front of Azalea's house. I had been staying at her house for a while. I had gone out to get some groceries for dinner but hadn't gone inside yet because I didn't want to disturb her with whatever was going to come after this. As I expected, my phone started to ring, I didn't need to check who it was to know who was calling. I picked it up and put the phone on speaker."You insignificant fool! This is how you repay your father aft

  • The Billionaire's Perfect Mistake    Chapter 79

    Azalea's POVAs I peeled my eyes open the next morning, I got off the bed and immediately went to shower. I wore my comfy clothes and fed Starr for what felt like the hundredth time in the last twelve hours.It was exhausting but I still loved feeding my baby. I was dressing her up when I heard a sound from the kitchen. My lips immediately stretched into a smile when I remembered that Ace had spent the night here. He went away for a while last night to pack some of his clothes and also told me that he had to deal with someone before coming back. I had fallen asleep before he came back but I went to check on him at midnight and saw him sleeping in the guest room. The thought of him sleeping in my house made me blush as I put Starr to sleep. I carried her downstairs and put her in her crib before heading to the kitchen. Ace was standing in my kitchen with his back facing me, he wore a white vest that clung to his muscles and grey shorts. His biceps bulged and flexed as he carried a b

    Ace's POV "Why are you staying away from Lea and Starr?" Noah asked as he poured me a glass of wine."I don't know," I said, taking the glass with hands that weren't steady. After meeting with Escola yesterday, I had call everyone I knew could help me hack her account and took down all her posts about us. I made sure her account stayed hacked so she wouldn't be able to access it or post anything stupid again. "You should be with them," Noah said in a calm voice. I had brought him to speed about everything that happened last night. "I want to," I admitted. "But my father…." I stopped. Saying his name made my chest tightened."He scares you.""No! He no longer scares me. I just want to make sure that he has no way of harming Azalea and Starr. He likes being in control and I want him to know that he has no control over me." "So, what are you going to do?" Noah asked , leaning back in his seat."I'm trying to dig up some dirts on him." My father had a lot of dirty secrets that must no

  • The Billionaire's Perfect Mistake    Chapter 77

    Azalea’S POVIt had been a really long night.A long, uneasy night since that call.I hadn't told anyone about it yet. Not even Lara when I saw her this morning. I hadn't heard anything from Ace since he left yesterday. It was like he vanished. No texts. No calls. Nothing. He must know about the threat, right? And here I was, going crazy. Expecting something bad to happen since I hadn't followed that man's order.The slightest sound around me made me jump. A car driving by, the neighbor’s dog barking, the wind pushing against the window, it all felt like a warning. I had been watching over Starr like a hawk. I barely slept. I kept her close to me every time. Nothing could ever happen to her. I wouldn't let that happen, I wouldn't let anyone hurt her. This afternoon, I was in the kitchen washing the baby bottles when Lara came to visit.She leaned against the kitchen doorframe, studying me quietly before she voiced out, “Okay,” she said softly, “what’s going on with you?”I froze,

  • The Billionaire's Perfect Mistake    Chapter 76

    Azalea’S POV I watched Ace storm out of the house with his face darker than I’d ever seen as he picked that call.For a second, I thought of stopping him. My mouth even twitched like I would call his name. But I didn’t. I acted like I hadn’t seen a thing.The truth was, I was curious. Something was obviously wrong with him. The way his countenance changed told me it was something big.I mean, if a man was about to get married, shouldn’t he be calm? Excited? Or at least, pretending to be happy? But Ace? He looked like a storm.I turned to Noah. He was standing near the door with his eyes glued to his phone like nothing had just happened. “Noah,” I called in a low voice.He looked up. “Yeah?”“Come with me.” I nodded toward the hallway.We left the baby with Lara, who was laughing and rocking her gently on her lap. The sound of that should had eased my nerves, but my chest still felt tight.The moment we were out of earshot, I crossed my arms. “What’s going on?”He blinked, all innoce

  • The Billionaire's Perfect Mistake    Chapter 75

    Ace's POV I slammed the car door shut and stormed into the house, my footsteps echoing down the long hallway until I pushed open the door to his study.“Oh, look who actually came.” My father said in a mocking tone, setting his newspaper aside and lifting his cup of coffee. “Leave my family alone!” I snapped, my voice breaking through the heavy air.He chuckled, leaning back in his chair. “Family? You really think you get to have one without me being involved?”“I said leave them out of this.”He swirled the coffee slowly, as if savoring the moment. “I’ll leave them alone if you do what I ask.”“What the hell do you want?”“You marry Escola,” he said simply. “And you tell everyone that I am your father.”My body stiffened. “What!”“You heard me.”“You’re insane,” I spat. “You want me to stand in front of everyone, claim you as my father, just so you can feed off my name, my influence for your ambition?”“You’re a smart boy,” he said with a crooked smile. “You’ve always been.
