Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price PROLOGUE
—The room was small, cramped, and smelled of illness. Mia sat by her mother's bedside, her hand clutching the older woman's frail fingers. Her mother's eyes were closed, and her breathing was shallow. Mia knew what it meant. The doctor had given them a week, at most."Mom," Mia whispered, her voice choked with tears. "I'll find a way. I'll get the money. You'll be okay."Her mother's eyes fluttered open, and she looked up at her daughter. "Mia, my dear," she said weakly. "Don't do anything foolish. I don't want you to get hurt.""I won't, Mom," Mia reassured her. "I'll find a way. I promise."Her mother's hand trembled in hers. "Mia, you're all I have left. Don't risk your life for me.""I won't, Mom," Mia repeated, her voice firm. "I'll be back soon. I love you."With a heavy heart, Mia left the room. She knew what she had to do. She had heard of the bidding bar, where wealthy men paid exorbitant amounts for a night of pleasure. It was a place she had never imagined visiting, but de
Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price Chapter 1: A Rose Among Thorns
—Mia's POVThe morning sun cast long shadows on the city's grimy streets. In the midst of the hustle and bustle, I stood, clutching a bunch of roses, their vibrant colors a stark contrast to the gray around me. Each petal, a symbol of the hope I held onto, each thorn, a reminder of the harsh reality I lived in.My mother's cough echoed in my mind, a haunting symphony that underscored my every waking moment. The hospital bills were piling up, and time was running out. Desperation clung to me like a second skin, pushing me towards the unthinkable.The day passed in a blur, the city's faceless crowd oblivious to my silent pleas. As dusk fell, I swapped the roses for a different kind of dignity. The bidding bar loomed ahead, its neon sign flickering like a predator's smile.Inside, the wealthy and the powerful reveled, their laughter echoing off the gilded walls. I felt their eyes on me, assessing, calculating. Fear knotted in my stomach, but I pushed it down. This was for her. All for h
Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price Chapter 2: The Unexpected Bidder
—Mia's POVThe bidding bar was a cacophony of voices, each one louder than the last. Men, young and old, raised their bids, their eyes ravenous. The numbers climbed higher and higher, each one a testament to the desperation of my situation.In the sea of faces, one stood out - an elderly man with a predatory smile. Every time his hand raised, my heart sank a little deeper. I couldn't bear the thought of leaving with him. I closed my eyes, whispering a silent prayer to anyone who was listening.Then, a voice cut through the chaos, clear and unmistakably female. "Two million dollars."The room fell silent. All eyes turned to the source of the voice, a young woman sitting at a table near the back. Her expression was unreadable, but her eyes were fixed on me.The auctioneer hesitated for a moment, then spoke up. "Two million dollars, going once... going twice..."I held my breath, hardly daring to believe what was happening. The old man had dropped out of the bidding, but this woman was
Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price Chapter 3: A Personal Arrangement
—Third POVAs they arrived at the mansion, Alessandra gave Mia a tour of the place. "Here's our room," Alessandra said, opening the door to a spacious bedroom. "It's big for you," Mia remarked, looking around in awe. "That's the size of our house."Alessandra smiled. "Well, I like my space. And I want you to feel comfortable here."Mia nodded, still a little nervous. Alessandra's reassurances helped, but the whole situation was still overwhelming."I know this is all new to you," Alessandra said, "but I promise I won't hurt you. And I have a proposition for you."Mia looked at her, curious."I'm a busy person," Alessandra continued. "I run multiple companies and have a lot of extra-curricular activities. I often come home late and don't have time for relationships. That's where you come in. I want you to take care of my personal cravings, to fulfill my needs."Mia was taken aback. "I've never done anything like this before," she admitted."Neither have I," Alessandra said, "but I'm
Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price Chapter 4: Vulnerable Moments
—Alessandra could feel the tension in the room and decided to break the silence. "What do you want to wear to sleep in?" she asked Mia. "T-shirt and shorts," Mia replied. Alessandra got a t-shirt and shorts and gave them to Mia. "Here, I'll just take a shower," she said as she headed to the bathroom.After a few minutes, Alessandra emerged from the bathroom with wet hair, looking even more stunning than before. Mia couldn't help but stare for a second. Alessandra caught her gaze and smiled."Do you prefer to sleep alone?" Mia asked.Alessandra shook her head. "No, I prefer not to sleep alone," she said with a chuckle.Mia laughed too and said, "So the big bad CEO is afraid of the dark, huh?"As they got into bed, there was a lot of distance between them. Alessandra suddenly grabbed Mia and pulled her closer. "Here, come closer," she said, back hugging Mia. "Don't worry, nothing will happen tonight.Mia felt Alessandra's warm breath on her neck and her heart started racing. She co
Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price Chapter 5: Awkward Encounters
—Mia woke up feeling refreshed and content. Alessandra was nowhere to be found, so Mia assumed she had gone to work. She texted her parents to let them know she was okay, then headed downstairs in search of coffee."Good morning," Alessandra greeted her from the sofa, where she was typing away on her laptop.Mia smiled and asked if there was any coffee. Alessandra pointed her to the coffee maker and then informed her that the housekeepers were aware of her stay and that she could ask them for anything she needed."Monica is my favorite, so she's got you," Alessandra added with a smile.They then discussed the story they would tell if anyone asked about Mia's presence in the mansion. Alessandra suggested that they say Mia was a younger sister of a friend of hers who was here to model until she got a job.Mia was hesitant. "Do you think they'll believe that I'm a model?" she asked. "I don't exactly fit the requirements."Alessandra smiled. "Trust me, you'll fit in just fine," she said.
Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price Chapter 6: A Friend in Need
—The mansion of Alessandra was filled with an eerie silence, a stark contrast to the bustling activity that usually enveloped it. Mia found herself standing in the grand hallway, her eyes taking in the opulence of the surroundings. She missed the simplicity of her home, the warm embrace of her parents. Alessandra and her brother shared a bond that was evident in their every interaction, a bond Mia craved with her own family.Alessandra had left earlier in the day with her brother, leaving Mia alone in the mansion with Monica, Alessandra's assistant. Monica had taken Mia shopping, helping her pick out clothes and other essentials. But the emptiness inside Mia was a void that no amount of shopping could fill.After returning from shopping, Mia retreated to her room, her mind filled with thoughts of her mother. Her phone rang, displaying her father's name on the screen. She answered, her voice trembling as she explained her situation. She was staying with a friend who ran a company and

—Mia stood in front of the mirror, admiring her reflection. She had dressed carefully for her day out with Alessandra. Her heart was filled with anticipation, a stark contrast to the disappointment that was to come.As the hours ticked by, Mia’s excitement slowly turned into anxiety. Alessandra was nowhere to be seen. She tried calling her, but her calls went unanswered. With a heavy heart, Mia realized that Alessandra wasn't coming. She remembered Alessandra's workaholic nature, a trait that often made her lose track of time.With a small, disappointed smile, Mia changed out of her clothes and decided to head back to the mansion. The mansion was quiet, the silence echoing her loneliness. To distract herself, she decided to cook. She chose to make Macaroni, a dish that reminded her of home.The process of cooking was therapeutic for Mia. She lost herself in the rhythm of chopping, stirring, and tasting. The familiar smell of the dish filled the kitchen, a comforting aroma that eased
