All Chapters of The Billion Dollar Heiress : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

“You’ve been so moody today, is everything okay?” Hugo asked, leaning against the doorframe of Amanda’s office while munching on an apple.Amanda rolled her eyes, fingers aggressively tapping against her laptop keys. “Mr Damien has a date.”Her reply didn’t quite do it for Hugo. One of his brows arched higher than the other, twisting his face into a look of confusion. “And why does that make you want to rip that poor laptop apart?”Amanda sharply turned her head toward him. “Because it’s Isla. And I don’t get what’s wrong with that woman. She’s already married, her husband has everything, what does she gain by trying to seduce Mr Damien?”Blink. Blink.Hugo double-blinked at her outburst.“What?” Amanda snapped, irritation thick in her tone. If she was ranting, she wanted support, not to be looked at like she’d lost her mind.“Let me get this straight,” Hugo said, tossing the remaining half of his apple neatly into the trash bin at the corner of the office. “You’d rather blame the wom

A staring contest was happening between Isla and her white ceiling above. The wall clock read seven in the morning. By now, she should have heard the soft creak of the door, and Gareth should have walked in, but minutes passed and nothing happened.Isla sat up tiredly. Gareth would probably either show up late or not show up at all, and she couldn’t delay when an important meeting was waiting for her at the office.Picking up her phone, she decided to send a message. She searched for a contact saved as Hunn, with a profile picture of Gareth smiling, and tapped on it.She began typing.Hunn, I’ve missed you so much. I want us to talk about everything and start afresh. Please come home.She sent another message.I’ve cut ties with anything involving Damien. I know I haven’t been fair, and I’ve reflected a lot. I choose you. I will always choose you, and I don’t want what we have to go to waste.After sending the messages, she exited Gareth’s chat box and scrolled until she found Damien’

Isla stayed quiet for some seconds, still backing him. The leather thud of his boots approached her measuredly from behind, stopping just a few centimeters close to her. He was too close. She could feel his hot breath fanning her neck. Normal Isla would have had the hair on her skin stand, but now she felt like acid was being poured over her.“You walk out that door and I assume you’re not just ready to lose your title as Mrs Khan, you’re ready to lose every damn thing that comes with it,” he repeated, his voice more rugged.He moved closer again, his lips tracing her ear.“You’re going to lose the company, the car, the house, the money, and every damn thing you own, Isla. You’re going to go back to that dump you called a home.”Isla folded her fists so tight that the blood in her knuckles went dry. Her throat tightened, the side of her neck ticking. If she wasn’t one hundred and one percent sure that the man standing behind her was Gareth speaking, she would have sworn with her life

Don’t show any emotion.Don’t show any emotion.Isla silently repeated the mantra in her head as she stepped forward. Gareth was doing everything he could to piss her off, but she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction. She didn’t understand why he was doing this when he was the one who had wronged her.She paused when she got to his front.“Having a good time, Mr. Khan?” She forced a smirk. “Our names are out there, being muddled into pieces, and you can’t even wait at least a day for the rumours to die down?” She gave him a questioning look, using her side eye to point at the woman sitting beside him.Gareth resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he turned to the woman. “Get going. I’ll see you later,” he whispered.“Okay, Mr. Khan.” She smiled and leaned in to peck his cheek while Isla silently took a controlled deep breath, watching them.The side chick had no remorse. Instead, she gave Isla a mocking smile as she walked past her. Isla waited until the woman was out of sight before tur

Monday Morning, Khan’s EmpireSomething felt off today.Something was wrong, but Isla couldn’t point it out. Her eyes searched through the employees who were busy walking around with different files and paperwork. They were so occupied that they didn’t even notice her walk in.She ignored them and walked straight to her office.She looked around slowly.To confirm the uneasy feeling in her spirit, her office was not the same as she had left it. Within seconds, she noticed what was wrong. Her portraits had been removed from the desk, and everything had been cleared.Isla moved to the intercom and called Nadia’s office line. It rang about five times, but the call wasn’t answered.She clenched her jaw and barged out of her office, heading straight for Nadia’s. She pushed the door open and noticed it was empty.Her heart skipped.She moved to the next office, where employees were busy with paperwork.Deliberately clearing her throat, she caught one of the staff’s attention.“Mrs. Khan,” t
