All Chapters of The Billionaire in oil-stained hands : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 41 Fafane After spending two days at the house making it look and feel like a home, I was finally back at the office catching up on work when my assistant rushed through the door. “Miss, I have news about Henry.” That caught my attention; I looked up from the document in front of me. “What news?” “He went to the Bakers with a business proposal,” she explained quietly. I paused. “The Bakers?” She nodded. I waved her out of the office and leaned back in my chair. If I remember correctly, the Bakers were not people you knocked on their door unless you were prepared for the consequences. They had enough power to make someone fall from grace without lifting much more than a finger. And Henry had approached them himself. Would the CEO agree to his proposal? I hoped he was just as ruthless as he had been in my previous life. Although no one had ever seen the mysterious CEO in person, so I couldn’t be certain. Should I warn them? No, I wasn’t getting myself involved in Henry

Chapter 43 Fafane Maybe I went a little overboard with the shopping yesterday, but then again, it wasn’t every day your sister handed your husband a fifty-million-dollar check to divorce you. So, yes, I made the best of that money and enjoyed every second of it. I was still in a good mood when I walked into the office the next morning. I’d even stopped for coffee for everyone, which explained the tray in my hands and the ridiculous smile on my face. That smile disappeared the second I saw Henry standing in the lobby. I wondered when that parasite was going to crawl out of whatever hole he’d been hiding in. Sighing, I walked straight past him. “Fafane,” he called out, calling my name. I stopped in front of the elevator and took a deep breath before turning around. “Henry.” I gave him a polite smile. “What can I do for you?” Apparently, that was the wrong thing to say. “What can you do for me?” he repeated, stalking toward me. “You don’t think I deserve an explanation after t

Chapter 45 Fafane When I got into the shower, I was still pissed. Apparently, stabbing a watermelon and stuffing my face with it wasn’t enough to get rid of my frustration. But standing under the warm water helped, and little by little, I could feel the tension leaving my body. By the time I stepped out of the bathroom, I felt somewhat human again. My phone was buzzing on the dresser. Without bothering to get dressed first, I picked it up and checked the notification. Well, it looked like Ethan Owan’s karma had come faster than I anticipated. He’d been in a car accident, and according to the article, his condition was uncertain. I shook my head with pity. The only thing I know is that if he wanted to avoid a wheelchair, he’d finally learn to respect women, because one of the best doctors who could help him right now was Dr. Elana Holland. A woman- I couldn’t help the laugh that escaped me. Knowing Ethan, I could already imagine him refusing to let her anywhere near him simply b

Chapter 47Fafane I stared at the four folders spread across my desk for the first time since I was reborn. I wasn’t thinking about Tessa or Henry; no, right now it's all about me.My past and the question I’d spent most of my first life never bothering to ask: “Who was I before I became Fafane Louis?”The investigator sitting across from me leaned forward. “These are the four families I found.”I opened the first folder. Four children had disappeared on the same night I did, four different lives destroyed in a matter of hours.My fingers tightened around the edge of the paper. “Are you certain about the date?”“As certain as I can be. Some of the original records weren’t digitized, so it took longer than expected to track everything down. But all four disappearances were reported that night.”I looked at the photographs inside the folders; there were four children, and one of them could be me. “Where are they now?”He hesitated.That hesitation told me I

Chapter 49 Fafane “Ugh.” I threw the documents onto the desk and closed my eyes. In my last life, I thought working in the office was easy. “Only because you were stupid,” I murmured to myself. Back then, I didn’t think about anything. I signed papers without reading them all because I was always too busy rushing out the door to prepare for my wedding with my future husband. Now, I actually had to focus on the paperwork, and the more I focused, the more I saw exactly who had been stealing from my company and how many parasites I needed to clear out. Just as I was getting comfortable, my assistant walked in with a folder pressed against her chest and a grim expression on her face. “Uh-uh. What is it now?” I turned fully to face her. She sat down across from me. “It’s nothing major, since you already know Henry’s proposition was rejected.” Ah, yes, that was still good news. Good news that could bring me happiness for days. “So what has you looking like that?” I asked. She ope
