"Well, Mr. Vice President, what one word would you use to describe where you are today and what you've accomplished?"

"Persistence. I like getting what I want."

Hmm. Persistence. What a sexy trait.

"And has there been a time when you didn't get what you wanted?

"Never."

"Never?" I replied, crossing my arms.

"Never."

The Billionaire' s Secret

My phone buzzed. I picked it up and looked at the screen to see two texts: one from Julie and one from my mom. 


Julie: Mom said you returned from your trip to Paris. When are you coming over? Mom is driving me crazy, and I need to know if you can help me financially. 


Mom: When are you coming to the house? Julie is going crazy, and she's about to drive me crazy. 


I knew the second I returned from Paris, Mom, and Julie would text me non-stop. I sighed and sent a reply to my mom first.


Nigel: I'm getting out of bed now. Give me an hour, and I'll come to the house to talk. 


I flung the covers off me and stormed to the bathroom. All I wanted to do today was rest and spend time with Sophie later this evening. Sometimes, I wish I had chosen to inherit a trust fund from my father instead of taking over the business. From the day it was announced that I had become a billionaire, all my family saw when they looked at me was dollar signs, especially Julie.
