… “Is something wrong?”

He sighed. He stayed quiet for a few seconds before he spoke. “I don’t think we should continue this partnership.”

His tone sent chills down my spine. 

“What do you mean?” I questioned.

“Your feelings,” he said ‘feelings’ like the word disgusted him, “have changed and it no longer aligns with the agenda.”

“How dare you? Who gave you information that helped get your company back from the Gulfs? Who was it that kept feeding you information about the Gulfs businesses. It was me.” I yelled, my tone no longer friendly. 

I’d met Gabriel when he had recently lost his company to Christian. He was at the brink of bankruptcy and Christian had made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. He’d been stupid enough to sign a contract without reading it because he was desperate, and ended up losing more than they’d originally agreed.

“Now that you have your precious company back and some shares in the Gulf enterprise you think you can dump me with a stupid excuse like our motives no longer align? Don’t you fucking dare. I own you.”

I shook with rage, ending the call before he had a chance to reply to me.


My rage immediately became fear when I turned around and saw Christian standing by the door in my room.

“So you did take me up on my offer.” He was smiling, and the contrast in his words and demeanor only made me more afraid. 

Betraying the Billionaire

Ever since she sent me the message about Christian sending them away, she'd relentlessly insisted on coming to visit.

I wanted to make it clear that I didn't consider her, or my birth parent's as family anymore, but somehow, the words refused to leave my mouth.

Instead, I screened her calls, hoping she'd get the message. But that only seemed to encourage her.

Five times a day. At least.

She'd call until I answered, and then she'd act all sweet and loving, playing the kid sister card. I was only three years older than her.

And she had made it painfully clear that Leah was her sister, not me. But now she wouldn't stop calling me "sister", saying we needed to bond more.

I knew what she was doing. I wasn't stupid. Asking me to take her shopping as a way for us to spend time together.

Showing up even though…
