Novel & Cerita I Became A Billionaire

She typed: “Victor Westbrook + Child Experimentation + Facility Rumors.” Thousands of links. A few cracked blogs. One anonymous exposé site. She kept scrolling. And then Something caught her eye. A headline. A grainy picture. Her breath snagged in her throat. Two men. One clearly her father, younger, smiling wide. The other... He looked exactly like Liam except older. Stronger jaw. Gray at the temples. The caption beneath read: “Victor Westbrook partners with fallen media giant, Elliot Blake, to launch NeuroGenesis Research Initiative.”

The Monday after the gala felt unreal. Lena’s phone hadn’t stopped buzzing. Pictures from the party had exploded across the internet. Headlines read: “Who’s the Mystery Woman on Rafael Blackthorne’s Arm?” “From Assistant to It Girl? Meet Lena Carter.” “Power Couple in the Making?” Lena groaned and slid deeper into her coffee cup. “Two weeks ago, I was breaking up bar fights and refilling ketchup bottles,” she muttered. “Now I’m being shipped with the most un-dateable billionaire in Manhattan.”

And I danced my way out of the hallway. Konrad Russell, I still remembered when he looked at me like he could devour me in that instant. I felt heat wash up on me and I squeezed my legs together. "Camila Russell, wife of billionaire Konrad Russell." I gave myself the title before giggling like a high school teenager who just got her crush to like her. I was excited. And I had a lot of people to pay back. I put back my headphones and went to work, Kevin sent me the details. Full name, phone number and even address, I got to the Internet fast and Konrad was worth over a billion. I was tripping myself.

Youngest and richest female CEO in the city. People ate it up. I didn’t know if it gave them hope or delusion, I don't understand why they loved how rude I was, but one thing was certain, they loved their idols built on glass towers. They weren’t wrong, though. The empire I’d inherited wasn’t just worth billions, it was built on them. Mr. Everhart had personally transferred several estates and accounts to my name. Calling me a billionaire was, frankly, an understatement. The week blurred into more interviews. Same faces. Same questions. My rehearsed smiles and clever retorts danced across every network, but the thrill had already dulled. I was simply performing the role they expected.

Before I could respond, my phone buzzed in my apron pocket, then buzzed again, then began buzzing so rapidly I finally pulled it out just to make it stop. Forty three notifications. The same headline, over and over, from every outlet that had run Vanessa's photo the night before. Billionaire CEO Nathaniel Whitfield Admits Marriage Began as Family Arrangement. Says It No Longer Is.

On stage stood Derick Lingard, popularly known as De.King—the billionaire celebrity singer and heir of the Lingard family, the most powerful and wealthiest family in all of New City. His name alone carried weight. De.King had the widest fan base in the music industry, both in New City and across the world. His voice was said to melt one's hearts, to heal wounds, to make people fall in love with someone they would never touch. Tonight was the De.King Arena Concert.

"Or we move to appoint Denis as the interim head of Vane Holdings." I didn’t respond. Boiling, I took long strides out of the room before I would smash someone’s head against a wall. My father had built this empire, and I had expanded it into a global titan, yet I was being held hostage by those that hadn’t labored for it in the slightest. I needed to clear my head before I broke something, or someone.

At most, I had only dreamed of making a few millions in profit, yearly, and yet, it had long surpassed that, even in the first year itself. " Well, I know. I can't believe it either, Sabrina. I am proud of myself for following your vision back then. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a billionaire right now. I would still be that runaway princess, who relied on allowances from the kingdom. " Ivy looked emotional too as she spoke, and honestly, I was glad for having her in my life, too. Without her, meeting that dream, especially that early would have been impossible. And yeah, even though she still worked as my PA, from just the shares that she owned, she was also a billionaire herself.

Marie’s POV Yawn. The sunlight streaming into the room reminded me of my new life. Who would have thought that I, the poor girl from yesterday, would wake up in a room like this, in a mansion like this, with $100k in my account? Honestly, if someone had told me this was going to be my life, I would have laughed in their face. Me? In a billionaire's mansion? With personal staff at my beck and call? I would have asked the person what kind of joke they were playing.

The world is shrinking in the internet world because everyone becomes accessible when accessing social media, and privacy is important to him.
