All Chapters of The Billionaire's Frozen Heart : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

The rain poured heavily over Manhattan.From the floor-to-ceiling windows of Ford Tower, Walter Ford stood silently, watching the city below. Thousands of lights sparkled in the darkness, yet none of them could chase away the emptiness he carried inside."Mr. Ford, your meeting begins in ten minutes."His assistant's voice came through the intercom."I'm aware."Walter didn't turn around.People often described him as cold.They weren't wrong.Feelings were weaknesses. Trust was dangerous. Love was nothing more than a distraction.He had learned those lessons years ago.The hard way.Down on the streets, meanwhile, Lois Ray hurried through the rain while clutching a paper bag full of books."Oh no, no, no..."She glanced at the dark clouds above.The bookstore owner had asked her to deliver a rare collection to an important client before closing time.Unfortunately, she was already late.As she ran across the street, a car suddenly sped through a puddle.Splash!Cold water soaked her
