"Vivi, slow down!" Lily was half-running, chasing Vivian’s wide footsteps along the corridor toward the private elevator.

Vivian paid no heed to her assistant's call. Her index finger pressed the elevator button repeatedly with impatience, her breath panting as if she had just escaped from a monster's pursuit. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she immediately dashed inside and leaned against the glass wall inside, clutching her chest which felt suffocating.

  • The Ugly Billionaire’s Lover Has Returned   Chapter 17

    The pounding bass from the speakers of the nightclub in downtown Manhattan seemed to hammer relentlessly against Billy Harvey's chest. His fifth shot glass of the night clinked loudly as it hit the glass table. The amber liquid inside was already gone, leaving behind a burning sensation in his throat, yet it failed to numb the pain in his chest."Bill, you've had too much to drink," Donna Amanda said, her slender fingers with blood-red nail polish slowly creeping up onto Billy's shoulder.Billy did not answer. He merely let out a rough grunt without turning his head. His gaze remained fixed on the strobe lights spinning wildly.Donna shifted closer, pressing her body wrapped in a tight mini dress against Billy's side. To her, seeing Billy in such a mess after returning from Vivian Wheeler's apartment was a golden opportunity she had been waiting for over the past five years."You have me, Bill. Why are you still looking for that strange woman?" Donna whispered, her breath carrying the

    Vivian Wheeler stood near the large window of her apartment, gently stirring a cup of warm chamomile tea. The glow of New York City's lights outside reflected against the glass, revealing the reflection of her face, which looked weary yet remained resolute.Knock! Knock! Knock!A knock at the front door shattered the silence of the night. Vivian frowned slightly and glanced at the wall clock, which already showed a little past eight. She set down her cup and walked gracefully toward the door. The moment the oak door swung open, Vivian's eyes widened as she held her breath for a second."Kennan?" Vivian asked, her voice rising a note in surprise.A tall man with a sharp jawline and honey-colored eyes stood there. Kennan smiled faintly, revealing the dimple that made his handsome face appear warm. In his hand rested a small casual suitcase."Quite a surprise, hm?" Kennan teased, his voice deep and soothing.Vivian immediately opened the door wider, allowing him inside."How are you here

    Cakra’s footsteps sounded measured on the marble floor, breaking the silence of the CEO's office, which still felt tense. In his hand, a black leather folder was gripped tightly. The man stopped exactly two steps in front of Billy Harvey’s large desk. "Mr. Billy," Cakra called out, his voice breaking the silence with a very stiff, professional tone. Billy, who had been leaning his head against the back of his leather chair, slowly opened his eyes. The remnants of a headache still clouded his temples, leaving a visible trace of fatigue on his handsome face. "How is the report I asked for?" Billy asked, his voice hoarse and heavy. Cakra opened the folder in his hand, adjusting his glasses for a moment before reading the sheets of paper inside. "Our investigation team in Paris has just sent the official data regarding Miss Vivian Wheeler, Young Master." Billy straightened his posture, both hands resting on the desk, locking his gaze onto Cakra. "Tell me everything. Do not leave anyth

    Meanwhile, inside his study room, Billy slowly opened his eyes when he felt a small, cold towel being placed on his forehead. The dizziness in his head had slightly lessened, although the throb at his temple still felt bothersome."Mr. Billy, you are awake?" Cakra stood beside the sofa with a worried face, holding a glass of warm water.Billy sat up, letting the towel on his forehead fall onto his lap. He accepted the glass from Cakra's hand and drank it until it was completely gone in one gulp. "Where is she?" Billy asked, his voice raspy.Cakra furrowed his brow, appearing confused. "Who do you mean, Sir? Miss Donna?""No!" Billy snapped, making Cakra slightly startled. "The designer from earlier. Vivian Wheeler. Where is she now?""Miss Wheeler left about half an hour ago, Young Master," Cakra explained with a cautious tone. "She said that today's discussion was enough because you needed to rest."Billy clenched his fist, hitting the surface of the leather sofa in annoyance. "Why d

Her index finger pressed the elevator button repeatedly with impatience, her breath panting as if she had just escaped from a monster's pursuit. As soon as the elevator doors opened, she immediately dashed inside and leaned against the glass wall inside, clutching her chest which felt suffocating."He recognized me, Lily. He almost knew," Vivian whispered, her voice hoarse, her eyes staring blankly at the floor of the elevator moving down.Lily stood in front of the button panel, looking at Vivian with a face full of worry. "Calm down, Vivi. Take a deep breath. He was only guessing, he doesn't have any proof. Your physique, your face, even your voice have changed a lot.""But his instinct..." Vivian cut in quickly, shaking her head with frustration. "That bastard... how could he feel Thabita's presence just from the way

    Vivian tidied up her tablet with deliberately slowed movements, trying to hide the slight tremor at the tips of her fingers. Billy’s gaze, which locked onto her eyes, felt far too intimidating."Alright, I’m sorry I misunderstood you about that night," Billy said, his voice softening, losing most of the arrogant tone that usually dominated.Vivian forced a professional smile onto her lips, shaking her head gently with an external gesture that appeared perfectly calm. "It's okay, just forget it."However, right after those words came out, Billy suddenly closed his eyes tightly. His grip on the edge of the teak wood table tightened, until the veins on the back of his hand strained and stood out. The man's breathing abruptly became short and heavy."Mr. Billy?" Lily, who was sitting next to Vivian, also noticed the change in the CEO's expression.Billy tried to straighten his body, but his head spun violently. The spacious office room felt as if it were tilting drastically, and Vivian's

    Before anyone realized it, five years had passed.Billy Harvey stood in the arrival hall of JFK International Airport, wearing a neat dark suit and a calm expression. His face looked more mature, his gaze sharp and calculating. A month in China had exhausted his body, but the results were worth it.
