Semua Bab The Billionaire's Breaking Point : Bab 51 - Bab 55

I pick up the black envelope that's sitting on top of the boxes and brush my hand over it. The paper feels lush and rich under my fingers. It's that really expensive and thick kind of envelope.I just look at all the boxes stacked neatly at my door. And then everything from tonight just comes rushing back into my head. Hunter's presence in my life being planned by Adam.How Adam showed up like a ghost in that pool. The way he said he’d been following me. My chest gets tight all over again.How dare he? How dare he think he has the right to leave gifts for me? We aren't even together anymore.He divorced me. He doesn't get to do stuff for me, as if he's suddenly my man and we're in some stupid romantic relationship.An ugly burning fury rises inside me, and I just want to pick up every single box and throw them right into the big trash can outside. That’s where they fucking belong.But I know my own heart. I know if I throw them away, I'll just lie in bed all night wondering what was

{ADAM}The sun at Elton’s new construction site is a brutal, baking thing. The heat is already soaking through my pants, and it’s not even 9 AM.

Designed with a huge, plush-looking bed right in the center, surrounded by cushions and soft blankets.But it’s the top that really gets me. It doesn’t have a roof. It’s just a transparent, glass dome, open to the sky. A perfect, private bubble for lying down at night and getting lost in

Hunter walks towards me with a large grin on his face.His white polished suit and perfectly combed hair make him look like a breathtaking gentle man.He opens his arms and hugs me tight. He smells freshly of his aftershave and his cologne. Then he pulls back and gives me a kiss on both of my cheeks, right in front of everyone. I look over his shoulder and I catch some of my team staring at us. I feel a little bit shy for some reason, so I just giggle to cover it up. I'm not used to public display of affection, especially right in front of my business teammates.Hunter looks around the entire hall. His eyes are wide. “You planned all of this in one day?”“Yes,” I tell him.“Wow,” he replies, brushing my cheek with his thumb. “You keep surprising me every single day, Hermione.”“Okay, this isn’t a romantic movie, Hunter,” I say, shaking my head with a smile. “Go sit over there.” I point to our table where Zara is already sitting.He nods with a smile and starts walking over to her
