Olivia pov;

Luca dropped two ceramic mugs onto the kitchen counter, coffee splashing over the rims. He didn't hand me one. Instead, he crossed his arms and fixed me with a smirk that I knew all too well.

"So," he said, drawing the word out like taffy. "The Blue Note Lounge."

My hand froze mid-reach for the coffee. "What?"

"Don't 'what' me, Olivia Bennett." Luca leaned against the counter, his eyes sparkling with barely contained glee. "I saw you. Adrian and I were on the dance floor, but I s

  • The Billionaire’s Plus size redemption    Chapter 76; The Threat

    Olivia pov;I looked down at the blank white pages of my notepad."What do I even say?" I asked softly. "Chloe's legal team sent me a draft thirty minutes ago. It says I should apologize for the distraction and clear Mr. Kingsley's name.""Throw Chloe's paper in the trash," Sophia said without hesitation. "You have nothing to apologize for. You did not leak those files. You did not break the law. Speak the truth. Tell them who you are, what you do here, and why Damian is doing this."Naomi pointed a pen at me. "And speak loudly. Don't let those pushy reporters talk over you."A knock sounded on the glass door. Ethan stepped inside, holding a black leather jacket over his arm. He looked at Sophia and Naomi, then at me."It's almost one o'clock," Ethan said. "The legal team wants to review your notes."I stood up from my chair and picked up my yellow legal pad. "I haven't written it yet.""Then take my office," Ethan said, stepping back to leave the doorway open. "Nobody will disturb yo

  • The Billionaire’s Plus size redemption    Chapter 75; My Voice, My Truth

    Olivia pov:The heavy wooden doors of the boardroom shut with a sharp click."Olivia Bennett must stand in front of the cameras and make a live public statement herself," Victor Hale said from the end of the long table.My knees felt weak. The air in the big room suddenly felt too thin to breathe. Twelve board members turned their heads to look at me, but I stared at the dark carpet. My heart hammered against my ribs like a trapped bird.Ethan turned around immediately. His dark suit jacket shifted as he took three wide steps toward me, stopping between me and the long table. He blocked the board members from my sight."No," Ethan said. His voice was thick and sharp. "We are not doing that.""Ethan, it is the only way to clear the company's name," Victor said calmly, leaning back in his leather chair. "The reporters want to hear from her."Ethan ignored him. He looked down at me, his steel-gray eyes soft. "Olivia, look at me."I lifted my chin. My hands were trembling, so I clamped th

  • The Billionaire’s Plus size redemption    Chapter 74; The Chairman’s Condition

    POV: Ethan"You need to fire her today, Ethan," Arthur Vret said, slamming his heavy hand down onto the polished oak table. "Or at the very least, suspend her indefinitely until this lawsuit disappears."I stood at the head of the long boardroom table, adjusting the cuffs of my gray suit jacket. Twelve board members sat around the perimeter of the room, their faces pale and tight. Rain tapped hard against the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of Kingsley Tower, matching the sharp clicking of Chloe's heels as she sat near the corner, taking notes on her tablet computer."I am not firing Olivia Bennett," I said, my voice low and steady. "And I am certainly not suspending her.""Are you insane?" Richard Hayes shouted from the far end of the table, leaning forward. "Damian Carter filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against us two hours ago! The news channels outside are screaming about corporate espionage! They are claiming your personal secretary stole trade secrets from her ex-husband's c

  • The Billionaire’s Plus size redemption    Chapter 73; Standing Beside Him

    Olivia pov;"It's terrible news," I said, looking up at both of them. "Because now Damian is suing Ethan's entire company. He is claiming I stole trade secrets. If I stay with Ethan, I ruin his reputation. And honestly... I am terrified, Luca.""Terrified of what?" Luca asked, pouring a fresh cup of coffee and placing it in front of me."Terrified that I am doing the exact same thing I did with Damian," I said, my voice trembling. "I spent years letting a man dictate my life. Now I'm letting my feelings for Ethan consume everything. What if I'm just replacing one man with another? What if I'm losing my independence all over again?"Adrian leaned back in his chair, folding his arms across his chest. "Did Ethan ask you to give up your job?""No," I said."Did Ethan tell you to stop seeing your friends?" Adrian asked gently."No," I repeated."Did Ethan try to take your money or tell you what to wear?" Adrian continued."Of course not," I said.Luca walked around the island and sat down

  • The Billionaire’s Plus size redemption    Chapter 72; Between Love and Ambition

    POV: Olivia"Ethan, look at this," I said, my voice high and tight as I sat up in bed.Ethan stirred beside me, blinking his gray eyes against the morning light. "What is it, Olivia?"I thrust my phone toward him, my hand shaking violently . It's Damian. He just filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against Kingsley Global Holdings. He claims we stole trade secrets from Carter Innovations."Ethan sat up instantly, the blanket falling away. He took the phone from my hand and read the red notification banner on the screen. His jaw set into a hard, rigid square."He's using the alleged logistics leak from last week," Ethan said, his voice quiet and dangerous. "He wants to force a public trial.""No, Ethan," I said, swinging my legs over the edge of the mattress and standing up. "He doesn't just want a trial. He wants me. He knows if he connects my name to you, the press will destroy this company. They will say I brought corporate secrets from my ex-husband straight into your office."Etha

  • The Billionaire’s Plus size redemption    Chapter 71; Love Before the Storm

    Olivia pov;He climbed onto the bed and settled between my thighs. Strong hands stroked up the insides of my legs, peeling the stockings down one by one. Then his fingers hooked into the sides of my panties and drew them off. I was bare beneath him, soft belly, full thighs, the dark thatch of hair already slick.Ethan looked his fill. “Look at you,” he said, voice thick with hunger. “So wet for me already. Open wider.”I did. He settled lower and dragged his tongue in one long, slow stroke from my entrance to my clit. My hips jerked. A soft cry escaped me. He did it again, slower, savoring. The wet sounds of his mouth filled the quiet room along with the rain.“Taste so fucking good,” he growled against me. “Could stay here all night.”Two fingers slid inside me while his tongue worked my clit in steady circles. I clenched around him, thighs trembling against his shoulders. Heat coiled tight and fast. My hands fisted the sheets.“Ethan—please—”He lifted his head just enough to meet m
