Semua Bab I PAID A BILLIONAIRE FOR A NIGHT : Bab 91 - Bab 100

Chapter 92Blake’s POVI strode to Danielle's room, my fists clenched as I tried to control the anger pouring out of me. I was more than angry, furious even. How could she do that? How could she jeopardise the company that I had struggled so hard to build up?Danielle had crossed a line. It wasn't just about stealing from Arya, it was the fact that she had stolen people's designs and passed them off as her own. How many designs has she stolen? If this comes out, nobody would trust our company anymore, and I simply refused to watch over a decade of my sweat go to waste because a silly little girl decided to put her selfish interest first.I walked through the corridor with long, deliberate strides, my jaw clenched so tightly it ached. The house was quieter now, with almost everyone already in their rooms, and even Danielle's door was closed.I didn't bother knocking, I just pushed it open and stepped inside, shutting it firmly behind me.She was already in bed, her hair loose around he

Chapter 94Arya’s POV“Hey,” Milo said, a smile still on his face. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything. I was just in the area and thought to drop by.”I stared at him, speechless. Just in the area? This was a secluded estate with only six massive mansions. How in the hell was he just in the area? You couldn't just idly drop by here. And how does he know where I live?“How do you know where I live?” I asked, narrowing my eyes suspiciously at him. “What the hell are you doing here?”He didn’t look the least bit bothered. In fact, he looked amused as he smiled down at me.“Relax,” he murmured. “You’re acting like I showed up with a marching band.”“This is my husband’s family house,” I snapped. “You can’t just show up uninvited.”He leaned closer, lowering his voice. “You didn’t tell me I wasn’t allowed to visit.”“I told you very clearly to back off,” I said through clenched teeth.“Well, this is a peace offering. I'm here to apologise for the other night…maybe you should let me in?”

Chapter 96Blake’s POVThe sound of my mother’s soft laughter drifting down the hallway, directed at Milo, of all people, only sharpened the tightness in my chest. I muttered something under my breath and took the stairs two at a time, not trusting myself to remain there for another second.The main reason I came back home was because of those documents, and I'd already wasted enough time here I pushed open the bedroom door with more force than necessary and strode inside, already scanning the space. The room was neat — most likely the maids coming to clean up after we left for work, and the bed was made, pillows arranged perfectly, the curtains drawn halfway to soften the early evening light.I went straight to the dresser and started pulling open drawers, searching through them like a madman, but I couldn't find the documents.I moved to the desk, then the bedside table and even the vanity, but they were nowhere to be found.Where the hell could it be?“Blake.” Arya’s voice sounded

Chapter 98Arya’s POV“You have got to be kidding me.” I murmured under my breath, annoyance lacing my tone.Derek’s eyes met mine first, surprise flickering across his face before he masked it with a polite nod.Cassidy’s smile was thin as she stared but glared at me.“Well,” she said smoothly. “What a coincidence.”“What are the odds?” he replied coolly.I took my seat, acutely aware of the suffocating tension crackling at the table.This night was supposed to be about celebration, but I was barely comfortable enough to relax.I kept my posture straight, my chin lifted as I refused to let discomfort show, but Blake must have noticed because he rested his hand lightly against my lower back, grounding me. Every now and then his thumb brushed slowly against my skin, sending shivers of awareness down my spine.After the first round of awards, we were in the middle of a break when Cassidy broke the silence at our table.She leaned back in her chair and looked me over with exaggerated del

Chapter 100Blake’s POVThe door closed behind us as we entered the car and I tried to look at Arya but she refused to look at me at all, choosing to stare out of the window instead.The silence was suffocating, but I had no idea what to say. Hell, I had no idea what I was expecting either, Maybelline for her to yell and ask questions? But this… this was different.I watched her from the corner of my eye, trying to figure out how to break the silence.“You’re quiet,” I said finally.“Mm.”That was all she said, still refusing to look in my direction. I almost smiled at the way she was acting, but I knew that wouldn't help me.“Arya.”“What?” she replied in a clipped tone, still not turning toward me.“Please talk to me. I won't know what's going on in your head if you don't say something.” I pleaded with her.“It's nothing.”I exhaled slowly, trying to curb my frustration as the car pulled into the driveway, and the gates closed behind us with a low mechanical hum.“You can leave now.
