Semua Bab A Night with the Billionaire Heir: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Zane“Ohh Zane, you’re back!” My mom let out, making turn. It was already late and I didn’t expect her to still be up. I was going to just quietly make my way upstairs and get some rest before I suddenly heard her voice.“Yeah, I’m back. I didn’t even see you there, I thought you’d be sleeping already. Why are you still up though?” I asked.“I was just about to go upstairs too. Please remind Lyra to come down for her dinner. She said she was just going to freshen up and come but she hasn’t since then. I don’t want her starving herself so tell her to come eat something, even if it’s just little.” She chimed in and I nodded.“Okay mom, goodnight.” I said and then made my way upstairs.I got to the door and hearing voices from inside, I instinctively stayed back to listen. I normally wouldn’t do that but somehow a part of me now doubts her after the conversation with June in the car. “Why don’t you want to ask him? He has the money to help you after all and according to what you told m

Lyra“You have to pick a side, bunny.” Jeff was the one who finally talked while Zane scoffed.“Bullshit! She’s not picking any sides. She’s my wife and that makes her mine!” He said fiercely and somehow, that turned me on. Not in a sex kind of way though, I was just kind of happy he claimed me.“You’re a very big clown then because she’s my girlfriend and we never broke up before you stole her from me. I could force her on me like you but I’m a man of home so I will let her make her choice.” Jeff argued and I looked at him funny.I wished I heard him wrong because how in the world would he call himself a man of honor. The same man who got into bed with my business colleague. Even if my family didn’t go bankrupt and I had to leave, his little affair would have still cost me a lot. Joanne would have sabotaged the contract just to keep riding his dick.“There’s no side to choose here, Jeff. Zane is my husband so his side is all there is.” I let out and I saw Jeff’s face turn sour. Befo

Lyra I woke up feeling so refreshed and somehow, I felt so excited. I tried to think back to the things that happened before I went to bed but nothing was special about my night that would have made me so happy. It was just like my usual night, Zane came back late, threw his normal insultive words around and went to bed. “Why this sudden excitement then?” I thought to myself as I got out of bed. I went to the bathroom and knocked twice. After the last time, I’ve always knocked before entering. I can’t have him thinking I was running into him intentionally. It’s not as if his body is that good though… it’s actually that good. Infact, it’s to die for. A chuckle escaped my cheeks at the thought but it was cut short when I heard his roar from inside. I didn’t want to hear what he was saying. I already got my answer so I just turned around and walked out of the room. I used one of the guest room close to our room and washed my face. I was going back when I decided to join them

Zane“Our best bet is diverting their attention… we need to change the narrative about her being a bankrupt gold digger who is in your life for your money. We will feed them love, affection and everything in between, and trust me, they will gobble it right up.” Anna, one of the interns explained. I didn’t expect much knowledge from a new intern with little to no experience at all, but she seemed to really know her stuff and I was really impressed. Her team leader didn’t seem surprised so I could tell it wasn’t her first time pulling off such brilliance.“That’s quite impressive but I think this has gone far that what you’re suggesting. Or perhaps I’m not being patient enough here. I should probably be asking how you intend to pull this off. Remember we only have a shot at controlling this. Any more mistake will only complicate things and I can’t afford that. We can’t… because it’s going to after everyone… including you.” I let out while she looked deep in my eyes and smiled. The smi

Lyra“What are you doing here? Didn’t I ask you to lay low and not do anything?” Zane let out once we were alone in the office. I scoffed at his outburst and couldn’t believe he was actually trying to gaslight me after everything I saw.“Really? That’s what you have to say after what I saw?” I replied while he looked at me surprised and then moved closer.“What do you mean? What did you even see or what did you think was happening?” He quizzed and the more words he said, the more shocked I was. I know he’s down there but this was a new low I didn’t expect from him, and the annoying part was that I was pained.A part of me wanted to ignore June when she called but she left a heavy impression on me. I know Zane well enough to know he would choose himself first before me. The only reason why he’s still managing to tolerate me is the child growing in my belly. But even with that, he would not hesitate to throw me under the bus to save his reputation. My best bet was to set any sentiment
