All Chapters of The Billionaire's Breaking Point : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

{ADAM}"Stay by the car, Six. I'm going in alone. Just in case something gets funny in there. I'm not quite sure what I'll be expecting.""Okay, sir.”I step out and pull my sunglasses down, looking up at the building. The words Leonardo Ventures are written on it in bold letters. But the building itself looks like a fucking spaceship with windows. Well defined corners and blue shiny glasses."What in the spaceship fuck is really happening here," I mutter to myself. “I hope I'm still on planet Earth by the time I come out."I start walking towards the entrance. The doors slide open without making a sound.The security guides me into a circle door that rotates me in a half circle, smoothly dumping my ass inside the lobby, “Just great!”Nobody is talking in here. It's actually quieter than I expected.My eyes scan the room and land on the reception desk.But the man sitting there doesn't look like any receptionist I've ever seen. He's not smiling or talking on the phone. He's just s

{ADAM}"You're thinking like a brawler, Adam," Leonardo groans while moving another piece on the board.He keeps talking about knights and bishops like they're real people. He acts like we own the whole planet and all the time in the world. And I’m supposed to be getting the hang of it.All those hours I spent waiting for Hermione to show up at my office, I could have called Dave. He would have happily shown me a few tips with his own board. It’s like these guys are addicted to beating a newbie.I look at Leonardo, and the boredom is starting to wear me out.My eyes drag across the relaxing green garden where we are, over the stupid wooden chairs, then back to the chess board, then to my glass of wine.I grab the glass and take a big sip. The burn runs down my chest. It tastes like the good stuff, but right now it would serve better for killing this boredom."What exactly happens in this garden?" I ask, just to throw him off his chess game before his neck falls off from all that s

“We’ve been driving for over an hour.” I look out the window at the dark trees blurring past us, “How far is this place Hunter?”He just smiles and takes my hand, bringing it to his lips for a soft kiss. His other hand stays on the steering wheel. “Just a few more minutes and we’re there, sweetheart. I promise.”I smile back and lean my head against the seat, my gaze fixed on his profile, at how focused he is on the road, and I remember how hard he is trying for me. All of this, just to make me happy. Just to help me forget.I reach out and brush a stray piece of hair from his forehead, my fingers gentle. He turns his head for a second and gives me a warm smile that makes my chest feel a little less heavy.Then he slows the car down and pulls over onto a rough patch of ground, turning off the engine. “We’re here.”I look out my window. It’s a bit dark, but I can see the outline of a large, dark opening in a rocky hillside. It looks deep and shadowy, like it's meant for Halloween a

What the fucking hell is happening?I narrow my eyes, trying to make sure I'm seeing properly. But no. I'm actually seeing Adam, my heart kicks hard again.He is seated with his legs apart at the other edge of the pool. The black combat pants and black top make him look really dangerous. He stomps into the water on his feet and starts getting close with heavy and aggressive steps. My body flinches and I hide behind Hunter, my heart racing so wildly I might get a heart failure. I don't even know why I'm suddenly scared of Adam.“Come here!” He stretches his hand out and grabs my wrist, yanking me toward him.My feet drag through the water until my chest hits against his hard body.He presses my face close to his chest and I can smell him. It is his usual musk vanilla scent, and it utterly intoxicates me.My body feels a sudden overwhelming sense of comfort.It is Adam. It is really, really him. But how the hell did he get here?He presses his forehead to mine and grabs my hair with t

{HERMIONE}I'm such a fool. I'm the biggest fool on this whole planet.I cried on his shoulder about Adam. I trusted him with my deepest pain, and the whole damn time, he was reporting back to the source of it.The sharp sound of my heels is suddenly too annoying as I walk past the dark walls of the cave. I just hope I can find my way to the exit.“Sweetie!” Hunter calls out from behind me, but I don't look back.He rushes over and grabs my hand, trying to drag me back.“Let go of me, Hunter!” I slap his hand away.I look at his face, at his already busted red eye. I replay every moment of kindness he ever showed me, looking for the signs I missed.The kind words, the late night snacks.When I was still just a heartbroken woman with a laptop and an idea, he was the one who sat with me for hours, late into the night, listening to me explain my app. He asked smart questions, got excited about the features, and told me I was gonna change the world with my idea.He saw the CEO in me when
