All Chapters of The Billionaires Game : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Shane's POV He froze. I picked up the bottled water on the table, opened it and gulped down a fair amount. “In my bedroom?” I asked. “I know you're crazy but I deserve some privacy.”“What makes you think it was me?” “It's clearly not Xandra or your mom. She's too crazy to think about that,” I answered. “Don't talk about her like that!”“Why not?” I asked calmly turning my seat a little so I could look at him. “I don't have time for this,” he bickered. “You should,” I began, “especially now that I also won the bidding contract for the Carandan Oil pipeline.”His breath caught. “What?”He turned to me slowly shocked. “How did you..?”“Get the oil contract you have been after for three months? Well, you see here brother. You're not the only one who knows how to spy on the other. Thanks for giving me a heads up.”“You slimy…”I interrupted, talking proudly. “You should have more reliable people work for you. They slouch a lot.”“What are you up to?” He asked. “I don't know, brothe

Lucy’s pov; I was halfway through a plate of pasta Alfredo I’d made myself, a comfort food on an otherwise dull afternoon. I giggled to myself as I dropped a comment on a post on the social network. I heard the sound of heels clicking sharply against the tiles and raised my head up. I let out a deep sigh. Xandra strutted in, holding a covered dish. She gave me a tight smile, her dark red lipstick still perfect even though it was barely lunchtime. I didn’t have the energy for fake pleasantries because I was more than certain that she didn’t like me. “Mind if I join you?” she asked, already pulling out a chair across from mine. I shrugged, swallowing a bite. “Suit yourself.” She removed the lid from her Tupperware, revealing an immaculate salad drizzled with some imported dressing that probably cost more than my entire week’s groceries. As she began slicing into a poached pear, she looked up. “You look… comfortable. Is that a new robe?” I glanced down at my lavender silk rob

Shane’s pov;I didn’t hear much else after the doctor said it. Dwayne was my biological brother? It sounded like one huge joke, only thing was that it wasn't funny.Brother….Dwayne Wilson….I stared at the file the doctor had placed on the side table like it was about to explode. Lucy was still seated beside me, her face pale and her lips parted slightly like she couldn’t figure out how to breathe.The doctor cleared his throat. “Anyway, your vitals are okay. I’ll let the nurses know, so you can be discharged.”He gave a polite nod, clearly unaware that he’d just dropped a bomb, and walked out.The moment the door clicked shut, I turned to Lucy.“We say nothing about this to anyone,” I said quickly.She blinked. “Shane…”“No. Not yet.” I placed my hand on hers and let out a breath. “I need to think. I need to… sort this out before jumping to conclusions.”“You think it’s true?” she asked softly. “About Dwayne?”I shook my head, staring at the wall, searching for an answer that wasn’

Shane’s POVI groaned and let out a deep sigh as my eyes fluttered open. I was sprawled across my bed, my ribs aching, a dull throb behind my eyes. Lucy was asleep beside me, her face buried in the pillow. I stared at the ceiling, replaying fragments of my memories of last night…the fight, the wounded men, the whiskey haze and of course, the revelation that Dwayne was my biological brother. I turned, careful not to wake Lucy as I slid out of the bed. The house was still, mercifully so. I needed air.Dwayne couldn’t have known about this too. If he did, he wouldn’t sit still and let me have all I had in the company. As I ran, I thought about our relationship. Dwayne was an asshole, we had never gotten along well and now, I was sure that it was all Meredith’s plan.When I finally arrived at the estate, I met Lucy already at the breakfast table, her hands wrapped around a mug. She looked up when I entered.“Morning,” I said quietly.“Morning,” she mirrored, offering the mug. “Strong?

Lucy's POV “What day is the audition?” My fingers hovered over the send button and I let out my breath just as I pressed it. It clicked and the delivered word appeared on my screen. I sighed, and stared at the sky. Maybe it wasn't a bad idea after all. I was off to make magic. I sipped the last bit of my coffee and dropped some cash on the table, holding it with my cup then strode down to the car parked a few meters away. The bodyguard followed behind me and opened the car’s door before I got in. By the time I arrived at the mansion, everywhere was dark and peaceful. I evaded meeting anyone and got to my room. I had done this on purpose, making sure to stop at every convenient place to either get ice cream or watch people moving around to delay time before making up my mind to go home. I got to my room and closed the door. At least I had peace for a while. All I had to do was wait till Shane returned and somehow that felt like a total bad idea because I knew they would be waitin
