She followed Lena up the stairs, passing what looked like a full library, an indoor bar, a hallway of glass doors leading to the rooftop. “Your room is here,” Lena said, opening a door just across from another one. “That’s his.” Of course it was.

“You think I see you differently because you didn’t grow up rich?” “That’s not what I meant.” “Then explain it to me.” His voice stayed calm. Which somehow made the tension sharper. Around them, music drifted softly across the rooftop while wealthy strangers laughed over champagne glasses completely unaware the emotional stability of Monaco’s most photographed billionaire was currently deteriorating beside the floral arrangements.

With no easy way out, I reluctantly agreed. Nathaniel led us across the ballroom to where his boss was standing. “Adrian Blackwood,” he told us, “the youngest CEO of Blackwood Corp. Worth billions. And get this he was voted one of the top ten most desirable men last year. One of New York’s most eligible bachelors.” I tried to look uninterested while Clara kept listing facts about him. “I think that’s enough info,” I muttered, giving her a look. He was standing by a long table with his hands in his pockets, his back to us as he spoke to someone.

I asked and everyone, literally, everyone looked at me as if I had just landed from another planet. “You don’t know who Adrien Russell is?” Racheal asked and I shook my head. “You must be living in caves to not know him. He is the most handsome, single billionaire in the states. He will soon take over his father’s business of restaurants and hotels all over the world.” Megan explained and I stood there shocked. So the person who helped me and saved my life yesterday, was a freaking billionaire. No wonder the management of the lodge gave him so much importance. “But I highly doubt that now. Seeing that his and his family's reputation is at stake. I never knew he was such a player.” Hannah sho

He also owns different clubs, hotels, and houses around the world. I Stare at Eva shocked, finally understanding her reaction. "I think the man is a freaking billionaire." "I think he is." I knew he had money, but surely not this kind of money. I clicked on the first article and I immediately regretted my decision when I started reading. The headline read 'ELIGIBLE BACHELOR AND HOLLYWOOD PRINCESS' They looked cosy in the pictures which made me very mad.

I reluctantly hook my pinky finger and he beams. The rest of the drive to his house is filled with talk of getting to know each other. I got to know that we have more in common than I care to admit. He might still be making that up, pinky or no pinky. He pulled up to a private underground parking lot in one of those expensive apartments on Billionaire's Row. I guess he's one of the many rich people who would rather live in an apartment building. He leads me to the elevator, punching in some codes to access his floor.

Chapter 017 Esther's POV I woke up as early as 4 in the morning and did a little bit of research on the CEO who wanted to help us with forty million dollars. I found out that aside from being a CEO, he owns luxurious hotels and villas in America, the UK and England. I wonder why such a man with so much money would want something in return when he could just give us the complete fifty million dollars without even feeling anything. Well, maybe he needed what money couldn't buy from us. I just hoped it was something that wouldn't be beyond our power. My stomach flipped just thinking I would have to meet him in person.

The Everest family chatted with Adam with all kinds of things (well, even if it was only the mother and son pair that was talking with only the other family members forcefully letting themselves stay just to prevent some 'things' from happening, which is really a complete not necessary). Soon after, night fell and another day once again came, with the sunlight shoning to the inside of his luxurious room(well, not more luxurious than his room in the future where he finally was deemed as the youngest billionaire in the state he was currently positioning himself into to make a name for himself), Adam eyeslashes fluttered slightly as he slowly opened his eyes.

Like, the actual penthouse that was on the cover of LuxeLife?” “I knew he was really rich, but a billionaire??” I mumble into my croissant, fully mortified.
