Lahat ng Kabanata ng I PAID A BILLIONAIRE FOR A NIGHT : Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

Chapter 101Blake’s POVThe hour was dark and quiet when we finally left the car and walked in.The door had barely closed behind me when Arya turned to me, her lips searching for mine again. I was already there, my hands sliding to her waist and cupping our butt as our mouths found each other again.I hooked my hands around her hips and hauled her up until she wrapped her legs around me, her dress riding up to her crotch.Without bothering to turn on the lights, I made my way to the stairs, taking us up to our room without letting go of her and while our lips were still locked together.By the time we reached our bedroom, my pulse was thundering. I pushed the door shut behind us and, without thinking, backed her against it and gently letting go of her.Her breath caught softly as I slid my hands over her body, shoving one of my legs between hers.“You have no idea what you did to me tonight, wearing this sexy dress.” I murmured against her mouth.Her hand slid down my chest, palming

Chapter 103Blake’s POV“You're hurting me!” Ivy's voice shifted, instantly becoming soft and fragile.I let go of her wrist instantly, taking a few steps back.If I hadn’t known her for years, I might have believed her, but my grip on her wrist wasn't tight enough to hurt her.“Blake—” The door to my office swung open and Tucker walked in, his voice cutting off as he saw Ivy.“What’s going on?” Tucker asked cautiously.“Why the hell is she here?” I barked at him.“Wait… you don’t know?”“Know what?”Tucker sighed, taking a few steps further into the office.“The PR team hired her to be the face of the campaign for the new line of cars that were about to launch.”My gaze shifted back to Ivy who had a smug smile on her face.“You didn’t think it was necessary to inform me?” I asked Tucker, my voice dangerously calm.“It was approved at board level,” he said quickly. “It’s a major international campaign, Blake. And it's our luxury line, so we can't just use anybody.”I turned away from

Chapter 105Blake’s POVThe moment Arya walked away from me, ignoring my name, something inside my chest felt like it had been ripped loose and left bleeding in the open.I stood there for a few seconds after her car disappeared from view, my mind struggling to catch up with the reality of what had just happened. I could still see the look on her face — hurt, disbelief, and anger fighting for control.She had been waiting for me alone, and I walked in carrying another woman. Of course she would be angry, furious, even, and she had every right to be.I dragged a hand down my face and swore under my breath before pulling out my phone again to call her for what felt like the hundredth time. It rang, but went to voicemail, and I wondered if this was how she felt when she was trying to reach me.“Arya, pick up,” I muttered, pacing the length of the corridor outside the examination rooms. “Please.”I sent a message — “It’s not what you think. Please let me explain.” It delivered, but she di

Chapter 107Arya’s POVI stared at Derek for a few seconds, actually believing that I was imagining things, but from the way he was also staring at me in shock, I knew for a fact that he was actually here, standing a few feet in front of me.“Arya?” I heard him say, though it came out more like a question than a greeting.Hearing my name from his mouth left a weird feeling in my chest that I refused to analyse, and I instinctively took a step back.“I didn’t expect to see you here,” he added, his gaze flicking briefly to the blood stained tissue I was still pressing against my palm and the medical supplies strewn across the floor.“I’m just leaving,” I said quickly, bending to pack up my stuff. I did not have the emotional capacity to deal with him right now.I moved to step around him, but he sidestepped as well, standing in front of me and blocking my path.“What do you want?” I asked in annoyance.“We need to talk.”“No, we don’t.”“Yes, we do,” he said sharply, his tone losing any

Chapter 109Blake’s POVThe hospital lobby felt different this time. The last time I had stood within these walls, I had been carrying the wrong woman and watching my wife walk away from me with a look I never wanted to see again. That memory still replayed in my mind relentlessly over the past few days, and I still felt guilty about how I'd made a mess out of everything.Arya still wasn’t speaking to me. She had returned to the house, but there was a wall between us that I didn't know how to break. She answered questions with just one word answers, she avoided my gaze and barely looked in my direction, and although we still shared a bed every night, it was like laying in bed with a stranger.I had told myself to give her space, but the idea of her walking into another appointment alone again, I couldn't allow that. So I called the hospital and after being transferred from one department to the other before they finally believed that I was her husband, I managed to confirm the resched
