Dear Readers, It brings me immense joy and gratitude to welcome you into the world of One Weekend with the Billionaire. Whether you have picked up this book out of curiosity, a love for romance, or a desire to escape into a story filled with passion, tension, and emotional depth, I want to personally thank you for being here. Every reader who opens these pages is not just reading a story you are stepping into a world that was carefully built with heart, imagination, and countless hours of dedication.

Some part of me wanted that. Not because I wanted the power. Not because I wanted to collect people like trophies. Because the thought of being wanted like that; to be chosen like that, made something in my chest go warm and tight. All because I had read... things. Books. Ones that I pretended they were "just entertainment." Stories that had made me squirm under blankets and bite my lip and tell myself I was being ridiculous. But the ones that had gotten me the most... the ones that lit my skin up and made my pulse race, were the ones where the woman wasn't lonely in love.

“Touché.” “I grew up without books. My parents just weren’t big readers. I later fell in love with reading because of my English teachers. I started making up stories because of my English teachers. I want to help kids find the story they didn’t know they were looking for, whether that’s in a book or in their own writing. I don’t want to negotiate deals or discuss marketing strategies, sit in an office and stare at contracts all day.” She tilted her head from side to side and waited for a giggling group of girls to get their drinks and leave, before she continued: “I could have gone to any school to become a teacher, I suppose, but you know me. Inquisitive by nature, so if I can learn from t

There is only one thing that comes to mind, I know it might make me seem like a boring old woman but whatever. “Reading, you know books and stuff.” I shrugged. Getting ready for him to say something like ‘that’s not a hobby’ with a chuckle or something. “That makes sense. You look the type.” He replied, totally going against the script that I had thought he would follow. “How?” I asked really interested in his next response, how doesn’t a person look like they would like reading? “You just look… insightful and deep like you would be the type to give me a lecture on the British royal family or how humans evolved from monkeys or about how a character from a book you read sometime ago is the ab

Karina's stubbornness always made the woman at the door reluctant to deal with her, let alone argue with her like they were doing now. Everyone has different needs in their life. For Karina, reading fantasy stories is one way to fill her free time and relax her mind from daily routines. As is known, reading can improve creativity and critical thinking skills, so for Karina, reading fantasy books is also a beneficial activity. In addition, reading hobbies can also help develop insights and knowledge in various fields, depending on the type of book being read. "Alright. I won't comment anymore. But next time, if I call you, at least please respond and don't leave me talking to myself like a cr

Alex was also opinionated about the books he read, and most dinners were spent debating over the author’s intent when it came to certain texts. Eddie found she enjoyed her dinners with Alex. She never had anyone to discuss books with before. Neither Thackeray nor Lily read more than what was required in school. Thackeray was too busy with his physical studies, swordplay and whatnot, to have time to read. Lily wasn’t interested. She enjoyed embroidery and horseback riding and found reading a rather “dull activity.” But Alex enjoyed reading. He loved talking about books with her and even suggested going picnicking and reading outside since the weather was nice. He loved and hated the same auth

"What drew you towards it?" "Well, I used to read a lot as a child. It was kind of my escape from reality a lot of the time. As I got older, I guess I never really grew out of it,” I mused. “I was especially drawn towards the classics. Something about the romance of them always swept me away.” "Actually, speaking of that, do you mind if I ask you a question? It’s something I’ve always been a little curious about, honestly." "What's that, Sir?"

Luxiana Sommeris Work had been exhausting, but I felt a quiet satisfaction at the end of the day. A steady stream of students and middle-aged readers had come to the library, eagerly searching for books to immerse themselves in. I’d always assumed that technology would take over even the simple joy of reading. With ebooks and online platforms offering instant access to stories—often for just a handful of coins—it seemed inevitable. Yet, seeing people choose the weight of a book in their hands, cherishing the earthy smell of its pages, and savoring the anticipation of flipping to the next chapter made me undeniably happy.

Ruby liked books about politics and war, while Ed liked romance. “Not really. The purpose of reading varies. There are readers who seek stories similar to their own lives. These similarities allow readers to feel less alone and gain a deeper understanding of the characters' emotions. But there’s a second type of reader who seeks books to escape from their lives. We're searching for something that doesn't exist in our lives, and we may be this second type of reader." Ruby looked at the two books in her hands and couldn’t agree more. Especially about herself. For Ruby, Taiko felt like a dream. Before meeting Esli, her life was so simple.

And quite frankly I do not see myself as someone that would change in marriage, especially in one like ours that isn't birthed out of love but just convenience. I was at the university library, for a guy who has one of the worst reputation of being a flirtatious flirt, I spend awfully a lot of time In the library, I formed the habit of reading when I was young and my dad would lock me up in the library in an attempt to punish me and ask me to read about history and other irrelevant facts, while my sisters would go out to play and have fun. But as I grew up, I actually discovered how reading shapes ones mind and now I do it out of pleasure not because I was being forced by anyone
