Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 18: You’re strong Antonia.
My father only smiles and nods. I don’t know what to do so I hug him, because he’s being so good to me, I don't know what to say. He hugs me back and it’s heartfelt. I pull back and ask him, “I thought you stepped out of business officially a few years ago.” He nods, “Times have changed now. This time, my daughter is here, and who better to teach than you? Business is an exciting thing if you can be brave to do it, and Elcot blood runs in your veins so I know you’re more than able. You’re strong Antonia.” His belief in me chases away every bit of doubt and fear I have and I nod. I still want to grow as a designer. I’ve always loved designing. I would have gone full-time if Malachi didn’t need me as his secretary, but maybe that doesn’t need to be a hindrance anymore. I look at the invitation in my hands once again and an idea sparks in my head. A very daring idea, and a dangerous one, but one that can help me. One that can help me bloom so that as a single rose, I have roses of
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 19: Throwing his party.
The drive to Tieran’s house is short and fast. Worry builds up in my heart constantly because of the disturbance that suddenly happened at the mall. Images of the man keep flashing past behind my eyes and I can't shake off the thought that he wanted to say something. Of the thought that I'd seen him somewhere before. I glance behind me once again and the chauffeur notices my discomfort and worry. His voice is jovial when he speaks, “The guards will handle whatever the problem is Miss Antonia. We’re safe.” I nod despite myself because I want to believe that, then Tieran’s house appears and all my thoughts of being followed are quickly forgotten and overcome by a sudden anxiety. My palms begin to itch because I haven’t seen him since the day of the banquet. I haven’t even dared to text. I felt like I'd brought enough trouble between him and Malachi to text him again. My voice is wary when I speak, “I think I should call him so he can open the gates.” The chauffeur responds calmly, “
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 20: I can protect you from that.
Tieran’s guests are all nice and courteous, and I have to give it to them, they do their best to hide the fact that they’re intimidated by Tieran.Only a few of the males present do not look scared or intimidated by him. I know from their identities that they’re on Tieran’s level in the business world. They’re the set of people who don’t have to curry favor with him for assistance. They’re like associates and partners. Every power structure has them.My hold on Tieran’s arm kind of tightens as he introduces me to one of them, “Ford, this is Antonia. She’s helping me host the party.”The slimmer but well-built man standing before us nods and directs his gaze to me. It’s like being pierced lightly with a dagger. His eyes are a light bright blue. Very pretty.Instinct tells me to cower and shake, but he won’t be the first intimidating person I'll be meeting. I stretch forth my hand, “It’s nice to meet you, Mr Ford.”A light smile lines his lips as he takes my hand in his and nods, his vo
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 21: I need him to help his dad out.
I walk over as cautiously as I can and I can see everyone is acting calmly. There aren’t that many guests in the house itself right now. Tieran’s secretary had them all moved outside.The tension I feel once I come near Tieran is bone-rattling.Though I can see nothing of it on his face, I know this is a surprise. They weren’t on the guest list.Malachi’s gaze shifts to me and lingers. It is consistently on me and I immediately become self-aware. Skye’s acrid tone floats into my ears, “Of course, Antonia is here too.If you can’t get one you go for the other I guess.”I see her flinch lightly when Tieran sets his gaze on her and then he shifts it to Malachi, “I don’t remember inviting your fiance.”Something in Malachi’s eyes tightens and the line of his jaw juts out as he responds, “She’s my friend, and I couldn't refuse her.”Malachi’s later words sound incredibly reluctant and his gaze looks annoyed, but his words are what set my heart thumping like a piece of stone skipping over w
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 22: Let me go.
I’m sitting at the bar when Malachi comes back. My body immediately puts me into flight mode but I stay right where I am. I already knew he would be coming back. I don’t know if i wanted that or not but i know I’m not scared enough of his presence to run. Especially when he’s playing this game of hurt with Tieran. Malachi smirks when he gets to me and the emerald green of his eyes gleam with a strange light. I can see the passion brimming in them when he stops in front of me and in a husky tone he rasps, “I’d do anything to see you out of those clothes right now, Antonia.” An old string of attraction suddenly flares at the sound of Malachi’s words. I’m immediately mortified. I feel like slapping myself and that feeling is soon buried. I respond sarcastically, “Would having some decency be part of the bargain too? Not every woman wants to be stripped naked while fully wearing her clothes y’know.” “Then let me take them off for you.” I look up again just so I can see the expression
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 23: You threatened my grandson?
Tieran’s pov. “Malachi says you threatened him.” I place my father at one end of the room and I take a seat at the other end. My hand itches for something to do, so I pick a pen and begin fiddling with it. It’s a nervous response that irritates me to find myself doing. My voice has the same monotonous cold tone as I respond, “What about it?”I hear the man I used to know once rise back up. I don’t have to see him to know a hardness has entered his eyes. If it wasn’t for his sickness, he would still be trying to do damage to the world, and even with his sickness, he can still do damage. His voice is dangerous as he speaks, “Do you really want to ruin everything you’ve worked for, Tieran? Threatening my grandson isn’t going to end well.”I look at him as I respond this time, “If your grandson wasn’t such a tattletale then we wouldn’t be having this conversation. You left your sickbed and came all the way just to see me because of him? That’s a lot of love from a man who never showed
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 24: Dancing in the Moonlight.
Antonia’s pov. ‘You’re leaving Malachi aren’t you, Antonia?” Grandfather’s voice echoes in my ears as I sit on a couch in one of the rooms in Tieran’s mansion and the discussion we had replays. I sigh because I couldn't even hide it. I couldn’t tell him that I was going to stay behind and still be with Malachi. Something about my encounter with Malachi earlier made me unable to, so I said the truth, and now… Malachi’s grandfather has asked me to come back to the mansion. He wants me to stay till the end of the month because he’s dying and the doctor says he won’t make it into next month. The darkness of my grandmother’s death and the grief of it resurfaced faster than I could realize. It felt like he was in her position. Like she was somehow alive again, and this time I had a chance to be with her on her deathbed. The door comes open with a soft click and I direct my eyes to it. Tieran’s form is solid in the light coming in from the hallway. Compared to the softer light in here an
Never Divorce a Secret Billionaire Heiress Chapter 25: Antonia the Tycoon.
My father stares at me with blank, dead eyes and I don't know what hurts more. The pain that he’s going through or the fact that I'm the one making him go through it.I wish someone were here with me right now, but no one is so I have to face this alone. I get up from the table and walk over to my father, sitting on the seat beside him and taking his hand in mine. I ask the most honest question I can, “You trust me? Don’t you, dad?”He tries to put a smile on his face and I see how hard he’s trying to do that. He's just gotten me back, and now I'm going off again.“I wish you didn’t have to feel indebted to any of them, Antonia.”My father’s voice is sad even though his eyes radiate feeling and warmth. “I wish I was there from the beginning so you didn’t have to feel indebted to anyone. Your marriage should have been one of love and value, not something you had to count as a favor from someone, a favor which you now have to repay.”I realize immediately that my father and I see things
