Semua Bab Billionaire's Firecracker : Bab 11 - Bab 20

“Why are you blocking the entrance? The hotel staff here are so unqualified.” A fat man pushed Anna away, scrunching his nose as if he had seen a fly.The seductive woman in his arms smiled in approval, adjusting her strapless dress to show more cleavage. His hand slid down from her waist and ventured lower, and lingered on her hips before groping her butt. Satisfied with his performance, he turned around and tendered his invitation. He stepped aside to let the staff authenticate his card and but when Anna’s face came into view, rooted on the spot, totally struck by her beauty. He subconsciously pushed away his companion, ready to make a move on Anna.“All women nowadays want to curry favor with some big shots, yet do not put in any efforts,” His companion said, batting her eyelids at him when she noticed his eyes undressing Anna. She lowered the neckline of he

Anna clenched her hands tightly as her eyes stayed glued on the picture. That very image reminded her of that one time when she was still innocent and naïve. She grimaced as painful and embarrassing memories of that day crashed into her head. Memories she had worked hard to forget. These memories were part of the reason she decided to end her marriage. But that aside, she racked her brains but still could not come up with a solid reason as to why Mr. Scott was bringing up events of the past.The screen blurred for a split second, and when it cleared again, another footage popped up. This one showed the outside of the hotel. Under the heavy rain, a taxi pulled over, and a girl stepped out of the car into the rain. She exchanged a few words with the cab driver before the cab drove away. The girl walked into the premises under the rain without an umbrella, and it didn’t take long for her to be dren

 Anna walked in holding her husband’s hand. This was the first time he had ever held her in public like this—she never had a wedding. Excitement bubbled in her heart, feeling like the only woman in his world. Eyes trailed them, and she basked in the limelight— for two minutes—before a buzzing phone interrupted. Liam glanced at his phone and suddenly rushed outside to pick up the call. Anna sighed. Of course, the moment wouldn’t last long!“Finally, the street rat showed up,” Melisa taunted, giving Anna a condescending look. “I was worried you wouldn’t come.” She swirled the wine in her glass, barely hiding her jealousy. “But did you have to come dressed like the peasant you are? You are embarrassing Liam. Do you want people to think he doesn’t give you enough money?”“Good

Anna walked down the empty sidewalk, rain pelting her head hard. Her once beautiful dress clung to her like a second skin, outlining her gorgeous figure, but no one was out to admire the wonderful art of her maker. She swiped away her wet hair that clung to her face and squinted a little, trying to see better in the heavy rain. Tears mixed with rain water washed down her face, and she confirmed that waterproof makeup indeed worked because no mascara lines were running down her face, not that she cared anyway.Liam’s act of pouring water on her hurt more than she expected. Tears pooled in her eyes again as she thought of the disgusted look she had received from everyone. She had turned into a joke of the party, and he’d left her there looking like a clown. Was she really that much of an embarrassment to him? Maybe she really didn’t belong to his world. It was time she found a place she bel

Liam ignored Melisa and walked towards Anna, pulling her into an embrace. “Anna, let’s go home.”“Home? What home?” Anna stiffened in his embrace, her arms dropping to her sides. She wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and melt into him. Every cell in her body convinced her that that was the right thing to do. She couldn’t forget what he just did to her hours ago. Her head told her she should push him away, flee from here, and move on with her life.But he smelled so good.  So good that she couldn’t resist the temptation to inhale his scent. Her heart picked up its pace and those damn butterflies in her stomach started a crazy flutter party. The woodsy scent she loved so much flooded her senses, and her arms, as if they had a mind of their own, wrapped around his back, her forehead resting on his chest. “Liam, I don’t have a home, Anna whispered, slowly backing up from the embrace. “What I do have is a cold mansion. I don’t want to live there anym
