Chapter 14. Possibilities
Currently
- And how was your day? -he asked to break the silence between the two of them. She just withdrew her gaze to another place and stepped back. Björn noticed her red cheeks, a gesture that, for him, was sexy. What did she think seeing him like that? Did she feel something? Did she care? All questions ran through his head as he looked at Ava, trying to describe the day to her.
-I think you'll have a complaint from me to Mrs. Laurent. -Björn raised his eyebrows but then withdrew them when he felt the pinch of pain.
- What? Why? -He asked quickly, motioned for her to take a seat in the single chair. She sat down and watched as he stood and started to walk around the room until he stopped to listen to Ava. -Tell me...
-Susan tried to provoke me. -Ava didn't want to remember the lousy comment about her body. -I answered him, and I don't doubt he complained from his reaction. -Björn frowned in a fleeting frown. His face sti

The following day, Björn woke up with the decision. He just had to earn it. But where to start? He adjusted his tie as he took one last look at himself in the mirror that adorned one corner of the room.Björn's lawyers would get together today to draw up the power of attorney contract, it was just a matter of signing, and in five months, he would have control of the Hoffmann business.-Mr. Hoffmann, the car is waiting at the entrance. -He heard Thomas's voice behind him. Björn nodded and then walked over to him.-I need more protection for Ava. -Thomas wrinkled his brow somewhat quizzically.- More? She's got three men from my team. -Björn pressed his lips together. -Yes, sir. Then I'll put an entire team in your care.-Thank you, Thomas. -And before dodging him, she looked at him. -Now the way my plans are flowing, she's the one who should be more protected than I am.-But sir..." Björn denied.-I want her pr
The Billionaire's Club Chapter 16. An engagement ring
After saying goodbye to her father, she got in the van, and they drove to one of the most famous and expensive jewelry stores in New York City. She chose Melissa Joy Manning, the place that created unique designs and the owner's daughter...she's a friend of Christine's.-What took you so long. -Carter complained as he saw Björn get out of the armored car.-I'm sorry, breakfast was fun..." Björn grimaced as much as he could smile without showing his teeth, which Carter found chilling.-My God, what have you gotten yourself into now? -Björn shook his head and patted his friend on the shoulder.-Let's go inside.They entered the place, and it was minimalist and with crystal designs on the walls, something that attracted Björn's attention.-Before I go back to Germany, can you tell me what will happen in my absence? -Björn looked at a glass cabinet with engagement ring designs.-Just let me get out of your way and
The Billionaire's Club Chapter 17. A proposal
Christine paced sideways a sideways, waiting for Isabella's call from half an hour ago, bit her thumbnail, jumped when the cell phone on her desk rang. The screen announced the name "Isa Manning."-It's about time you called, Isabella. Do you know how you've had me with this ring of uncertainty? A smile appeared on her carmine-red lips.-Oh, sorry, I was busy," the tone of her voice caused Christine to tense up.- What's wrong? -she heard as she cleared her throat.-He bought a ring, with a velvety black box.- Was it the most expensive? Speak up, quick, and you're making me anxious! -On the other end of the line, the woman at the jewelry store twisted her lip.-It was a square diamond... fourteen carats. -Christine raised her eyebrows.- Only fourteen carats? That's nothing! -she shouted angrily and started pacing around her office.-But it has a unique design, I designed it..." Christine rolled her eyes when Isabella remarked
The Billionaire's Club Chapter 18. Letting go
Björn waited impatiently during the elevator ride, and he wanted to see Ava, even if it was just sitting there at her desk immersed in her work. The elevator doors opened, and he walked briskly towards the primary office. Sussan hurriedly got up and flashed him one of the smiles he had for him.-Good afternoon, sir..." Björn stopped in front of the desk and raised a hand for him to stop.-You're fired. -Sussan opened his eyes wide in shock.-But sir..." He nodded slowly.-You're fired. -He remarked in a tone laden with coldness. He placed both hands with open palms and rested them on the surface of the desk. Sussan was frozen in place with his heart pounding. -I don't allow harassment between employees in my hotel. Does it amuse you to shit on others for their appearance?-N-No s-sir..." He gave her a look of restrained anger. She understood that she could not speak.-Go to Laurent and finish your contract. -Björn ordered.
The Billionaire's Club Chapter 19. Hidden feelings
Ava closed her eyes and breathed in his scent. When she opened them, she pulled back a little so she could look into his face. She reached for his arms and slowly removed them from her shoulders, and he didn't refuse.-I'm not going to say no to anything. -Ava began to say. -I don't know at what point I started to have feelings for you," Björn realized how tingly it was under his skin to hear her say that confession. -I even thought that maybe..." Ava closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them, they sparkled. -I'm a fool, aren't I? I'll never understand why in such a short time, he could have made me feel that way. -Björn took her elbow and pulled her close to him.-You are not... -Björn whispered close to her, watching every detail of her face.-I am. -He stepped back and put space between the two of them.-Then... we both are. -He stepped forward, closing the distance she had put. He took her face in both hands and lifted it t

Ava looked at the clock again, nervous and impatient about her meeting with Björn. She put both hands to her cheeks when she felt them blush as she remembered that she had confessed to him to have feelings for him. But at the same time, she kept thinking about Christine's words in the office two hours ago.-Miss Gray," Ava jumped in her seat and realized that Thomas was standing next to her. -I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. -Ava quickly denied.-No, no, I'm fine. -Thomas smiled.-I'll take you straight to Mr. Hoffmann. Please follow me. -She nodded and followed him to the armored car. Thomas opened the door and waited for her to get in. Ava frowned as she saw that they had left the hotel grounds..- Where are we going? -Ava sounded anxious.-Mr. Hoffmann asked me to take you somewhere. I can't give you any more information than that, Miss Gray.-Mr.Ava leaned against the back of the couch, her heart pounding, looked at her cell
The Billionaire's Club Chapter 21. Confession
Björn led Ava to the main dining room, and on the way, she was surprised by how luxurious and spacious it was.-Everything is ready, Mr. Hoffmann. -A woman in a service suit announced.-Thank you, Mine. -The woman nodded and smiled warmly at Ava next to him.-I'll be in the kitchen if you need anything else, sir. -He nodded silently in thanks.The woman withdrew, leaving them alone in the dining room. Björn took her by the elbow gently and guided her to the chair. Like a gentleman, he removed it so she could take her place.-Thank you," Ava said shyly.-You're welcome," Björn sat down in the chair at the head of the table, she next to him. -So, what do you prefer? Shall we eat and talk? Or, shall we eat and then talk," Ava thought for a moment.-Hum, we could eat and talk. I think it's nice.-Well, then we'll do it. -Björn was tense. Where would he start? About the auction? He shook his head for a moment. Th
The Billionaire's Club Chapter 22. One night
His words echoed in the room. Björn turned his face slowly to Ava, who was pale. -She took it upon herself to disappear you, she..." Björn stood up, throwing the chair roughly behind his back. It fell with a clatter against the marble floor. - She tried to sell you like you were worthless! They drugged you, stripped you naked, and put you up for sale! -Ava gasped and put both hands to her mouth to cover them. Tears began to fall down her pale cheeks. The nightmare she had had that night wasn't just a dream, and it had happened. She looked at Björn's reddened face, and it looked like she was about to explode right there. -I looked for you, I found you and...-Björn left his hands on the table, he lowered his head.-You bought me?" -Ava's trembling voice moved every fiber of her being. She raised her head and looked at her.-I had to, I wasn't going to let someone buy you, take you away and abuse you, and who knows what else would have happened...-she
