I turned for the hundredth time on my bed, staring at the digital clock on my bedside table that displays 6:00. I hadn't slept a wink since last night

Even though I had told Nathan last night that I would not wait for him, I guess a foolish part of me still expects him to come like he has said.

After our wedding night, Nathan has not stepped a foot on this floor, so why were you expecting him to come knock on your door, silly?

Waddle out of the bed, saunter into the bathroom, and I couldn't believe what was staring back at me in the mirror.

Huge dark circles formed under my eyes, making me look like a walking dead.

“You're a fool for waiting, Kim,” I said to myself, and then I washed my face

Giovanni's renovation project begins soon, so I need to pack a suitcase and other important stuff since I will be staying at Phoebe's apartment. Her place is closer to the project location and also, we will be working late most of the time.

I make sure I pack everything I need

  • The Billionaire who doesn't love me   CHAPTER FIFTY-FOUR: A PLAN WELL SKETCHED

    JEFFI ran my hand through my hair and sighed heavily. Mrs Pearce's favour is hard. It will not only disrupt my plan but also alert the enemy. I have been working non-stop on this case ever since Mr Pearce asked me to investigate it. And the more I investigate, the bigger the case turns out. There's a big game at play, more than an employee embezzling the company money. It is much deeper. There's a big figure in the game, and they know how to cover their track well. And if we don't get to the bottom of these, I'm afraid The Pearce Empire will be shaken badly. Not enough to wipe out the complete empire, but the damage will be a heavy blow.If I can't uncover this, Mr Pearce will be in danger, and that's something I can not allow. Mr Pearce has been nothing but good.Not only did he treat me well and with respect, but he's also the reason why Jeff Robert is standing today. I would have become what my foster parents wanted me to become. A gangster with no future. But Mr Pearce appeared

  • The Billionaire who doesn't love me   CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE: REVENGE OF THE PAST

    KimThe night passed in a haze of restless tossing and turning. I couldn't sleep a wink. The events of last night and Nathan's pained look played repeatedly on my mind, forcing loads of guilt down my throat.‘Did I really overdid it?’ I couldn't help but ask myself. I waddle out of the bed and walk to the ceiling-height glass window that overlooks Central Park Avenue. The morning sun climbed higher, turning Manhattan into a tapestry of light and shadow. Which did nothing to lighten the darkness in me.As much as I tried to get my mind off the event of last night, the goddess of sleep decided to elude me, leaving me awake with vivid images of last night's event.Hell, I don't know what has gotten over me! ‘How can you promise Giovanni that you will date him? Oh, Kim. You will be the death of yourself!’I pitched the bridge of my nose, feeling my headache intensified. It was the worst decision ever. It was just a moment kind of thing. Last night, after Gio had dropped me home, I had t

  • The Billionaire who doesn't love me   CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO: MY PAST, FEAR, HOPE, AND CONFUSION.

    NATHAN I watch as Will stands up and types away on his phone; I don't need any confirmation to know that he's going to call Kim. I yanked away the IV that was connected to me, ignoring gasps from Phoebe and Jeff as I stood up from the bed. I walked to Will, who was looking at me with a serious expression. “You won't tell her anything!” I repeat through clenched teeth, grabbing the collar of his shirt. He looked at me and held up his phone, a small smirk tugging the corner of his lips as he showed me what he was doing. The screen displayed an app—he was trying to order food. I scoff and glare at him. He's playing me, and I walk right into the trap.All the talk about my past and emotions weighed heavily on me, and I had retreated back into my shell of comfort, shutting out the world and the worried look around me. But Will has seen through me, and he knows the only thing that can bring me back is mentioning Kim.Gosh, I hate that guy!“So are you going to talk now, or do you want

  • The Billionaire who doesn't love me   CHAPTER FIFTY ONE: THE OLD NATHAN

    WILL“What is Alexi—” I watched as the realization hit her. She staggers backwards and almost loses her footing. I held her hand and helped her balance. She looks towards Nathan, whose eyes are closed and his head on the headrest.She yanks her hand from my grip after she balances herself. “Did…..did you tell Kim about this?” she asked, her eyes eying Nathan suspiciously. Nathan slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. A series of emotions flashed across his blue eyes. “No…. I did not” “You dare keep such delicate information from her?” she asked. Taking small steps towards Nathan. I stood in front of her, blocking her from making eye contact with Nathan. “It's complicated.” I breathe through clenched teeth. “Complicated? How complicated can it be that Kim has been hating you for something that you completely can't control?”“It's… You don't understand Phoebe. You think it's easy to say, ‘Hey, look, I have this PTSD from my childhood, and I won't be able to love you even though w

  • The Billionaire who doesn't love me   CHAPTER FIFTY: THE FEAR

    NATHAN The smell of disinfectant pieced my sense of smell, and the sound of hurried footsteps increased my irritability. I lay still on the bed in the ER as the nurses examined me and passed an IV into my bloodstream. I have always hated hospitals. It doesn't matter if it was lying on the bed or sitting in front of a therapist, I hate being in this environment. Even since the accident occurred when I was nine, I hated coming to the hospital. The fake smile they were even when they knew you were dying irks me. The way they smile, pretending to help you even though they don't care about you, gets on my nerves and makes my blood boil. I have met a handful of doctors in my life, and I can tell from experiences that they don't care about you. They will keep telling you they're trying their best even when they know all hope is lost. “How is he feeling now?” I heard a male doctor ask the nurse who was with me.“He's stable now, doctor,” she replied. “Have you checked for echo?” The doc

  • The Billionaire who doesn't love me   CHAPTER FORTY NINE: THE CONFESSION

    Giovanni I watched her eyes closer, the way they danced with confusion and uncertainty. Even though I knew the weight of my words, I couldn't bear to see her angry anymore; I couldn't bear to see her cry.I was seething with anger earlier this evening. I wasn't angry at anyone else but at myself. I hate that I couldn't protect her from that monster. I hate that I was knocked to the ground, and I couldn't retaliate. I knew fully well that Kim wouldn't like the idea of me hitting her husband, so I had to rein in my temper. However, when I saw Kim tremble angrily when she slapped him and said those harsh words she didn't mean, I hated myself more.She was angry that Nathan hit me, but most of her anger was directed at the fact that Nathan lost control and behaved barbarically.I don't know why she loved him so much but I'm done pretending to be supporting. I knew this was a risk, but I would take it anyway. If I fail, I will lose her forever, and the thought of that breaks me to my cor
