Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price Chapter 10: Unseen Discoveries
—The morning after their revealing conversation, Alessandra seemed to carry a sense of guilt. Mia could see it in her eyes, the way she looked at her with a newfound understanding. It was as if she regretted taking advantage of Mia's vulnerability.To escape the palpable tension in the mansion, Mia decided to go for a morning jog. The fresh air and the rhythm of her footsteps helped clear her mind, giving her a sense of peace she hadn't felt in a while.When she returned to the mansion, she found Alessandra and Monica in deep conversation. Alessandra looked up as Mia walked in, her gaze falling on Mia's worn-out running shoes. "I'll give you my credit card, buy all the pairs of shoes you want," she said, her tone casual.Mia's reaction was immediate and fierce. "I don't need new shoes, and I certainly don't need your credit card. I have my pride, Alessandra," she retorted, her voice filled with determination.With that, she stormed off to the bathroom to take a shower, leaving a surp

—Mia's heart pounded in her chest as she retreated from the office, her mind reeling from what she had just seen. She needed to clear her head, to make sense of the strange mix of emotions swirling within her. She decided to head to her room, where she could gather her thoughts in solitude.As she entered her room, she realized she was still holding her breath, the shock of Alessandra's unguarded moment still fresh in her mind. She let out a long exhale and sank onto her bed, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts and questions.Why was Alessandra doing that? And why in the office, where anyone could walk in? Was it a cry for help or a simple moment of pleasure? And why did it affect Mia so much?She spent the rest of the day in her room, lost in her thoughts. She only left to grab a quick dinner, avoiding Alessandra and Monica as much as she could. She didn't want to face them, not until she had sorted out her feelings.The next day, Mia decided she couldn't avoid Alessandra forever. She
Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price Chapter 12: Shrouded Past
—Alessandra sat in the quiet solitude of her room, her mind replaying the conversation with Mia from the previous day. It had been a moment of vulnerability, a side of her that she rarely showed to anyone. But Mia had seen it, and instead of running away, she had offered her understanding, her support. It was a strange feeling, being on the receiving end of such kindness.As she sat there, lost in her thoughts, she heard a knock on her door. "Come in," she called out, her voice steady.The door creaked open to reveal her brother, a serious expression on his face. "Alessandra, we need to talk," he said, his tone grave.Alessandra nodded, motioning for him to sit. She had a feeling she knew what this was about. Her brother had always been perceptive, always able to see through her lies."Is it about Mia?" she asked, her voice betraying nothing.Her brother nodded, his gaze steady. "I know she's not younger sister of your friend, Alessandra. I know everything."Alessandra felt a pang of
Billionaire's Bid: Love Beyond Price Chapter 13: Uncharted Desires
—In the quiet solitude of her room, Mia found herself thinking about the incident she had witnessed days ago. Alessandra, in her most vulnerable state, had stirred something within Mia. A curiosity, a desire she had never known before.One night, alone in her room, Mia decided to explore these newfound feelings. She hesitated at first, her heart pounding in her chest. But then she remembered Alessandra's raw, unguarded moment, and she felt a strange sense of courage.Just as she was about to start, there was a soft knock on her door. "Mia, may I come in?" It was Alessandra. Mia quickly composed herself, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "Yes, Alessandra. Come in."Alessandra walked in, her eyes widening in surprise as she took in Mia's flushed face and disheveled hair. "Mia, what were you doing?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.Mia felt a pang of embarrassment, but she pushed it away. She had nothing to be ashamed of. "I... I was just trying something," she said, h
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

—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
