Amelia’s POV

The restroom was quiet and beautiful, even though one could hear a little music coming from the outside. The restroom had soft golden lights and scented candles placed neatly along the marble sinks. It also smelled like lavender and something faintly floral. For a moment, it felt really peaceful.

Someone then opened the door, almost immediately. And then I turned around and stopped.

"Beth?" I said, confused. She stood by the door, arms crossed, her face unreadable.

Her eyes narrowed.

“What are you doing at my father’s gala?” Her tone was bitter, almost accusing. "Here to cause more trouble??" she said.

I blinked, keeping my voice calm.

“You father invited me, Beth. That's the only reason of me being here,”

I then turned to leave, not in the mood for drama. But as I stepped forward, she blocked my way and pushed me lightly. Not enough to hurt me, but enough to make me stumble a little.

I steadied myself and looked at her in disbelief.

She stepped clos

    Amelia's POV Things were a lot different between me and Logan now. We’d both admitted how we felt, and honestly, it still felt surreal. Like… how did I even get here? It was already the fourth day of the retreat. If we're being real, If someone had told me before coming here that I’d end up having sex with Logan, I would’ve laughed in their face. But well, life comes at you fast. This morning he brought me breakfast in bed, and I couldn’t stop smiling. He really was sweeter than I ever gave him credit for. Such a refreshing change from everything I’d been through. After a shower, I stood in front of the mirror, blow-dried my hair, and tied it into a ponytail. Since the events usually held in the evenings, I had nowhere to rush to. I figured I’d check my phone and laptop, since I’d barely touched them since coming to Paris. I sat on the bed, phone in hand, and dialed my mom first. She picked up almost instantly. “Amelia, sweetheart! How’s Paris?” her warm voice filled my ea

  • The Heiress And The Billionaire's Revenge    Chapter 043

    Logan's POV The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was her. Amelia, curled against me, her hair messy across the pillow. My chest tightened. She looked too peaceful and perfect, like I might break her if I moved. Last night replayed over in my head. The way she touched me, the way she said my name. She gave herself to me and I hadn’t felt anything that real in years. I never wanted whatever this was to end now. But…I sighed deeply. Carefully, I brushed a strand of hair from her face. She moved a bit, sighing softly. Then my hand froze. Damn. How could someone like me deserve her? What was I even doing? I'll just end up hurting her. It's better I stick to the plan. But how about how I felt… I shifted slowly, careful not to wake her as I slid out of bed. But the sheets rustled and her lashes fluttered open. Amelia’s eyes met mine, still heavy with sleep, her cheeks pink. “Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you,” I murmured, leaning down. She shook her head, biting her lip, sud

    “I… I’m trying to process things,” Logan said, his voice rough. “Process what?” I snapped softly, tears burning my eyes. “Us kissing and you acting like nothing happened between us?” “Something happened.” He nodded, rubbing his hand through his hair like he was losing control. “I agree… I just… I’m confused.” “Then figure yourself out, Logan. And please...leave me out of it. Don’t kiss me anymore if it doesn’t mean anything to you!” My voice broke as the tears slipped free. He stopped. His eyes lifted, locking onto mine. “It did mean something to me.” His hand reached for mine, warm. “No, it didn’t,” I whispered, trying to pull away. “Yes..yes, it did,” he said firmly, holding tighter. “The first time we kissed… and now too. It…” His throat caught, words trembling in his mouth. “Logan…” I breathed, looking at him. He looked like he was begging me to believe him. “You drive me insane,” he finally said, his voice low. “God, Amelia… I think about you every second of the day. Eig

    Amelia's POV What has just happened? Why did he leave suddenly? I stood there, and touched my lips before moving back to our seat. Still my mind still went back to that moment. The way he touched me, the way we both went away from reality and just focused on the kiss…. Was this still part of the contract? The way I felt, the tension I felt…was this still based on a paper. I was confused and just sat there, thinking. Was he as nervous as I was? I don't think so but…I don't even know. I touched my chest and felt how fast my heart was beating. Oh Amelia.. What's going on? A sudden touch on my back made me flinch. I turned and found Monsieur Durand standing there, a glass of wine in hand and that ever-present charming smile on his face. “Didnt think I'd see you again, Ms Connels,” he said smoothly, as though the sight of me made his evening. “Well,” I smiled nervously, “We’re in the same hotel and all…the chances are 90%” I told him, keeping my voice calm. “Yes, yes. I don't s

  • The Heiress And The Billionaire's Revenge    Chapter 040

    Logan's POV Her eyes were locked on mine, sharp but unsure, and for a second I almost stepped back. Almost. But then my hand brushed her cheek, and she didn’t push me away. God, she didn’t push me away. Her lips were right there, and I couldn’t stop myself. My chest tightened and every part of me was screaming to close the distance. So I did. And then my lips touched hers; just soft, barely there, like a permission. I wasn’t sure if she’d let me, if she’d turn her head and leave me hanging. But she didn’t. “Logan..” she breathed, the smallest breath left her mouth against mine, shaky, and it was enough to break me. "Tell me to stop, and I will," I said as I pressed closer. She didn't say anything so I kissed her, moving slowly because if I rushed I’d ruin it. I savoured the taste of her lipstick and I loved every part of it. My tongue flicked with hers, playing with each other. I heard the slight chuckle she let out. Her hands clutched at my shirt tighter, pulling

  • The Heiress And The Billionaire's Revenge    Chapter 039

    Amelia's POV I was actually stunned by how big and wide the ship for the cruise ship was. Honestly, it felt more like a palace floating on water. It had a fine elegant setting. “Wow,,” I muttered to myself since Logan wasn't near me. It was giving this plane-like feeling but more comfortable because I loved looking at the ocean. Paris at night was so beautiful, it was moments like this you'd be with people you loved. Inside, the tables had candles that flickered softly, and a man with a bow tie was playing something smooth on a saxophone. Soft jazz. Romantic. But I don't know, it felt the kind of atmosphere I didn’t need right now. I don't even know if I am that angry at Logan or I'm just so pissed that Jake's here. I was in Paris with Jake like last year and this year I hated any fiber of him close to me. Logan on the other hand, it was fun giving him the silent treatment. A bit childish? yeah maybe. Satisfying? Very. I walked to the table section where dance chai
