Semua Bab Falling for my Billionaire Crush: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Hope The moment we stepped into Ryan's apartment, I was taken aback. The space was a mix of class and minimalism with a touch of luxury. It had subtle lighting that complimented the neutral paint colors in a really nice way. The ambiance was the highlight as it was so soft and inviting. "Wow," I murmured, taking in the artful decor. “Your place is impressive." I added while he flashed a modest smile. “Glad you like it. Can I get you something to drink?" "Something strong, please," I replied, and then winked at him. Of course, we both knew what was going to happen and looking at how eager he was, I knew I needed a strong drink to match his energy. As he prepared our drinks, I wandered through the living area, appreciating the curated art pieces. When he returned, we sat to drink while having a soft conversation to set in the mood. The chemistry between us was smooth and I wasn’t expecting that. I mean, for a man who got on my bad side on a first impression, I expected worse

Daisy I woke up earlier than usual and for a moment, I just lay there in bed, staring at the ceiling and trying to collect my thoughts. Tony wasn’t next to me anymore but his touch was still all over the place. My bed still smelled of him, my mouth tasted like him and I could still feel his hands moving all over my body. I felt my nipple harden at the thought, of course, even my breasts also miss his hands. But then, he was all gone… Instead of letting that bother me this time, I got out of bed with a different kind of resolve. Maybe it was guilt, or gratitude, or the leftover butterflies in my stomach from the night before or maybe it was all of it. I wanted to do something for him. It would be small but good… something that didn’t involve words because clearly, the words between us were all too complicated. The first thought that came to me was to make him breakfast so I immediately got up, freshened up a bit and hurried downstairs into the kitchen. I pulled out ingredients I’d

Hope I smiled to myself as I climbed the stairs. I’d left the kitchen with the excuse that I wanted to drop my stuff upstairs, and I would come back to join them soon. But really, I just needed a moment to breathe. My dad and Daisy seem to be enjoying their cooking time and had no time to question my whereabouts since yesterday. There were no questions, no probing glances or lingering smiles that meant someone guessed something. Stepping into the room, I closed the door and leaned against it, letting out a quiet laugh. Me. Hope Grenier. The wild child of my father, the girl who always has a plan and never, ever loses control. But last night, I lost it in the best way possible. I couldn’t stop myself from grinning when the memories started flooding in again. I started replaying the scenes and I could feel his lips again… his hands… the way he carried me to the bedroom and bent me over that bed, over and over… No wonder my legs still feel so weak and shaky. I could still taste that r

Daisy Dinner ended with so much awkwardness and I just couldn’t wait to get out of there. Hope was so firm with her mom, I have never seen her that mad or strict before. She made sure her mom didn’t say another word until she was done with her drink and then left. Even when Sophie tried to manipulate and guilt trip her, Hope still maintained her stand. I wasn’t part of the family so I knew my place, and didn’t try to overplay my role. The moment I was done eating, I left the table and went into my room. The rest of the drama, I watched from my window. I still had questions but I knew it wasn’t the right time to go to Hope and besides, I have a big presentation at the office tomorrow. Jack specifically asked Olivia to put me through on the project but I would be the one presenting. It hadn’t even been a week since I started working and I could have said no but I didn’t. It was my chance to prove myself and I couldn’t let it slip. I did some reading and preparation before going to

Daisy I stopped the first car I saw and then hurried into the back seat. My hands were trembling as I yanked the door shut behind me. I barely made it inside before the tears started and my face was soon flooded. I could’ve sworn I heard Tony’s voice calling my name but when I turned to look, there was no one there. Of course, it was all in my head, why would he come after me and leave Raine? She’s the stunning one with all the moves and I’m just the naive one trying to get a man out of her reach. The driver zoomed off while I slumped back into the seat, my chest tightening like a fist around my ribs. At first, I was crying silently, trying not to let it out or call the attention of the driver but then, I couldn’t control it at a point and I was soon sobbing loudly till the driver finally noticed. “Miss, are you okay?” He asked softly, glancing at me through the rearview mirror but I didn’t answer. I couldn’t as the lump in my throat was too big. The tears poured so hot and fast
