By the time William arrived at his suite, he started feeling feverish, and even slightly light-headed.

Before he passed out, he sent a text to his beloved Simone that said: Not feeling that well. Going to sleep it off. Love you, Angel.

He didn’t know then that said text would worry her enough to spring into action, especially with everything that would follow.

Indeed, Simone called him after seeing the text, but the

    Conquering one’s fear could be sweetly gratifying… Sadly, Simone wasn’t quite there yet. Indeed, the moment cameras flashed, she became stiff, and her smile became rigid. She didn’t know what to do, or what to say, to avoid making trouble for her beloved… But then again, the paparazzi were not there for her.“Rumor has it that your take-over of the Patera group was nothing short of sensational,” one of them dared to chance a question, despite the subtle frown on William’s face. “Anything to say about that, Mr Stone?”William merely kept Simone to his side, and soon brought her into the safety of the car, with the help of his security detail, who shielded them away from the cameras, and also from the intrusive questions which were fired one after the other.“Are you okay, Angel?” William asked in a soft voice, as he looked down at her, his eyes as t

    By 5 pm, the contract had been signed, and a copy was sent to William’s email.Although Simone trusted William to the moon and back, she still had her doubts. Indeed the short meeting with the Pateras didn’t feel like any kind of negotiations, rather like some hostile take-over.And because of the Pateras’ greed and scheming, they ended up losing everything. But that’s how major bets were. Bound to gain lots, might lose everything in the process.“You did it!” She cheered William in a soft tone of voice, as she showed him the signed contract.“We did it, Angel,” he shot back, an easy smile on his face, while he put emphasis on the we part.“We did,” she nodded eagerly.“You should be focused on your shopping though, not your professional phone,” William let out in a tone of soft chiding.“I couldn&rsquo

    Upon waking up the next day, Simone looked at the mess that had become of the suite, and knew without even needing to be told that there would be extra fees.She found William at his laptop a few feet away from her. One groan from her was all it took for him to stop looking at said laptop.“Hello, sleepyhead,” he teased with an easy smirk, his eyes glinting with mischief.“You wrecked me yesterday,” she let out in a tone of complaint. “I don’t think I can move.”“I can help you into the bathroom, Angel, if that’s…”“Not going to fall for that one again,” she cut in, giving him a bored albeit pointed look.He chuckled before saying, “Who would ever think you were a resentful woman?”“I didn’t think I was one to hold grudges either, but it is what it is,” she s

    William could barely believe how lucky he had been. He knew that if that damned Patera trust fund baby had gotten to his room, it would have been a pure disaster for him. Thankfully, the receptionist had been quick-witted enough to send her away without offending her.And to further add to his luck, Chloe Patera’s face was clearly visible on the footage given to Rafael.“You did a great job,” William praised his beloved Simone, as he hugged her to him in the car that was leading them to the hotel.“I acted on instincts alone,” she admitted in a hushed tone of voice.“Well, your instincts are spot on, Angel,” he told her softly.He soon claimed her lips in a soft loving kiss, to which she moaned… but then, his phone rang, disturbing them, and bursting the passionate bubble they were in.“Answer it, Will,” she whispered against

    Within a couple of hours, William was no longer feverish, and was far more responsive according to the doctors, though he had yet to wake up…. But it was progress and Simone was glad to be a part of it.She remained by his side, and Paul replaced Rafael, who had gone to assist with getting the incriminating footage that could later be used against the Patera group. She also didn't fail to update Kevin regarding William’s state. And after doing so, she couldn’t help but ask, “What do you think the Pateras are trying to accomplish?”There was a pause before Kevin explained succinctly, “If nothing’s done, their business is bound to meet an unsavory end soon – very soon.”“You’re telling me they drugged William to save their business?”“Frankly speaking, Chloe Patera had her eyes set on Mr Stone for some time already. It is a

    Upon entering William’s suite, Simone could see at once that he appeared to be sleeping soundly — too soundly. Knowing that he was a light sleeper made it even more worrisome.“Mr Stone is burning up,” Rafael declared at the sight of her. “I have already called for an ambulance.”“I’ll go with him,” she said, tears gathering in her eyes, as she thought of the worst. Rafael merely nodded in understanding.The manager, who trailed behind, appeared so conflicted at the sight of his precious guest in such a state.“The woman who came, claiming she’s his girlfriend,” Simone let out as she angrily wiped her errand tears, and approached the bed on barely steady steps.Rafael looked at her intently, his eyebrow rising being the sole indication that this was something that didn’t sit well with him.&ldquo

    Before long, it was time for Simone and William to go back to their busy schedules. They hadn’t gone past third base, but they were both fine with it.Once they landed in Washington, William asked her in a soft voice, “Want me to cook for you tonight?”“Who would say no to that?” She wiggled her ey

    Waking up with the woman he loved in his arms was a blessing William didn’t know he needed.He looked at her, remembering how insanely good she looked with a blush covering her cheeks, her eyes closed in pleasure.It was his first time allowing someone to spend the night with him. For someone who d

    Simone didn’t know what shifted between William and her in the elevator, when they got to the hotel… But one moment, she was ready to call it a night, and the next, William was lifting her up to meet his ravenous kiss.She didn’t stop kissing him until he began to fumble with the key, as he tried t

    The meeting was held at 9 am. As per usual, William barely spoke. He always listened, asked relevant and concise questions, and then barked out orders. That was his MO. And even though that much was the same, Simone could feel that he wasn’t pleased, for some reason beyond her.“Mr Turner,” he soon
