UNDERSEVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 8: The Household Chatter
Chapter 8: The Household Chatter “I brought fresh pot of tea,” she announced as she entered the dining, it's made of ginger and honey. She arranged the sandwich, curtsied and left.I turned to Richard and said, “Mrs Higgins seems to be a very dedicated person.”“Yeah, she has been here since I got this place. She understands the rules. She anticipates the house needs and acts accordingly. With her around, everything moves smoothly and most of all, she is trustworthy.”I just nodded reflectively “maybe we would get along subsequently.”“You have nothing to worry about, Oma,” he assured me. This is your home, and I am here for you,” he said, patting me on my shoulder. “Now let's eat, the baby needs food to thrive. Remember the doctor’s instructions.”I rolled my eyes, for lack of what to say next, and began to eat the food beginning with the fruits.“I will need to get to the office; I may take some time coming. I have an unfinished property contract that needs review, but I will come
UNDERSEVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 7: Dashed Hope
While Richard and I were trying to build our own world within the penthouse, we were not aware the world outside was beginning to burn.Nora Hayes sat in the back of her father’s limousine, her perfectly manicured nails digging into her leather clutch, looking very beautiful in a sharp, cold way, her blonde hair pulled back into a tight bun and her eyes the color of ice water."He’s avoiding me, Daddy," Nora complained, her voice trembling with bottled-up rage. "Richard hasn't returned my calls in three days, and Ned is being even more cryptic than usual."Mr. Hayes, a man who believed every problem could be solved with a check book or a threat, sighed. "He’s probably just stressed about the merger, Nora. There is nothing to be upset about, the Jones boy is a workaholic and you know it.""No Daddy," Nora snapped. “That’s not the issue; I think it’s something else. He looks... different, lighter. I spotted him leaving the office early and the Richard Jones that I know never leaves earl
UNDERSEVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 6: A Hard Decision
Why do you care? I asked, my brown eyes searching his steel-blue ones. You are Richard Jones; you have a merger, an engagement, a life while I'm a scandal waiting to happen, don't you get? We don't belong to the same circle."You know what Oma, I actually care, because for the first time in twenty-eight years, I met someone looked at me and didn't see a bank account," Richard said. "And because I don't believe in coincidences. I found you again for a reason."I was deeply touched by this gesture within me but I still tried to put up a fight due to feeling of shame, a sob escaped my throat as I reflected again on what my life has become. My father threw me out Richard. He said I was a disgrace. I came here to start over to cut off from everyone and struggle for survival, to be a lawyer like you, but... I'm just a girl in a basement now.Richard reached out, and this time he didn't hesitate. He took my hand in his with a warm skin and a steady grip. "You are not a disgrace Oma, and you

I struggled to turn again as I heard the words “I owe you”, the sharp pain in my stomach worsened and the last thing I saw before the darkness completely swallowed me was Richard Jones’s composed billionaire mask shattering into a look of pure unadulterated terror. He was lunging across the table for me while his glass of expensive wine shattered on the floor, completely forgotten.When I came around, the wall was white and smelled of antiseptic. The steady beep... beep... beep of a heart monitor was the only sound in the room. I tried to sit up but a hand firmly but gently pressed against my shoulder to put me down on the hospital bed."Hey! take it easy," Richard said. He was sitting in a plastic chair by the bed, his tie loosened, his hair disheveled, and he looked more human than I had seen him. "The doctors said you're suffering from extreme exhaustion and dehydration." He explained."I need to go back to work, I rasped with a rising panic. If I miss a shift, I lose the job and i
UNDERSEVED ROMANCE WITH MR. BILLIONAIRE Chapter 4: Survival Mode
I came into the city with three hundred dollars in my shoe and a heart that had turned to stone. I was lucky to have accommodation in a women’s shelter. I spent most of my nights clutching my stomach and whispering apologies to the life growing inside me. I was determined to put my heartbreak and disgrace aside and focus on surviving at all cost.I scrubbed my face, pulled my hair into a tight, professional bun, and walked into “The Heroine” restaurant—the fanciest restaurant in the city. I lied about my age, lied about my experience, and by a stroke of luck, the manager saw the desperation in my eyes and handed me an apron to start working as a waitress.“You are welcome to the Heroine restaurant, note that our customers’ satisfaction is our top priority and no sluggishness or unruly behavior is allowed here.” The manager warned.It is understood sir, I appreciate your kindness and trust. I will do my best and you have absolutely nothing to worry about. I assured him with a smile.I

"Oma," Tasha started, her voice shaking, reaching a hand out toward me. "How long have you been standing there?" she asked.I ignored her question, and instead I looked down at her hand—the hand that had painted my nails before prom, the hand that had offered me shelter and promised me friendship and protection, and I saw nothing but a poisonous snake. I didn't yell, neither did I cry. The only thing I knew was that something inside me, the soft part of me that still believed in friendship, just died."You won a pool Tasha?" I asked, my voice sounding completely unacquainted, flat and dead. “Five hundred dollars? That's what my life is worth to you, that is how cheap you rated me? Thank you for ruining my life, and my entire future, just for Five Hundred dollars." "It was just a joke, Oma! We were drunk, and believe me, it wasn't supposed to go this far!" Tasha's defense was dumb and pitiful. Franklin on the other hand, wandered behind her, looking down at the floor."You fed me dri
