CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT: WHAT HAPPENED TO MARIE
Madeline and Jake return from their getaway, the mountain air still lingering in their minds. Madeline steps into her dorm room with a lingering smile from the weekend getaway with Jake. The vibrant energy seems to fill the room as she greets her friends, Stephanie and Amanda. "Hey, you guys!" she exclaims, a genuine excitement in her voice. Stephanie grins, "Look who's back, the queen of the mountains! Tell us everything, Mad!" Amanda adds, "Spill the details, Maddy. We need to live vicariously through your adventures." Madeline eagerly dives into recounting the picturesque landscapes, the charming little town they explored, and the memorable moments shared with Jake. As she describes the breathtaking views from the mountaintop, Stephanie can't help but sigh dreamily, "That sounds like a perfect getaway, Maddy. I wish I could escape reality like that." After indulging in the joyous tales, the atmosphere shifts, and Madeline, sensing the weight of the unresolved issue, takes a deep

Marie's eyes well up with tears as she recounts the painful chapter of her life. She pauses, taking a moment to collect herself before continuing with her heartbreaking tale. "It was supposed to be a happy occasion when Ashton proposed," she begins, her voice trembling. "But then he insisted we go to his parents, and I foolishly believed they would be as happy as we were. Instead, they shattered everything." The room falls into an uneasy silence as the weight of Ashton's parents betrayal sinks in. After a deep breath, Marie continues, "His parents told us that I wasn't suitable for Ashton. They needed him to marry into another wealthy family, a business partner's daughter, to secure their position and make more money. It was like my worth was reduced to a business transaction." Madeline, holding back tears, wraps an arm around Marie, offering silent support. Stephanie, her voice laced with anger, remarks, "That's despicable. Using their son's life as a bargaining chip without any rega

Madeline felt the weight of the situation pressing on her shoulders as she agreed to Marie's desperate plan. Sensing the gravity of the moment, she told Stephanie and Amanda, "I need to talk to Jake about this. We can't rush into things without a solid plan, and honestly, I just need someone to talk to right now." The worry lines on her forehead deepened as she considered the risks and implications. Stephanie put a comforting hand on Madeline's arm, "You're doing the right thing, Madeline. Just be careful, okay?" Amanda nodded in agreement, concern etched across her face. Heading to Jake's house, Madeline's thoughts raced, and when Jake opened the door with a bright smile, she felt a mix of relief and anxiety. "Hey," Jake greeted her, pulling her into a hug. His warmth momentarily eased her tension, but she quickly broke away, her expression serious. "Jake, we've got a problem," Madeline began, her voice tense. She explained Marie's situation and the risky plan they were considering.
The Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN: A PLAN TO STEAL THE NECKLACE (1)
Daniel, standing in the grocery store line, flips through his phone absentmindedly, battling the boredom that has settled since he dropped out of school. His mind wanders to the desire to be back in school, engaged in activities that stimulate both his intellect and energy. "This grocery shopping thing is killing me," he mutters to himself, glancing around the store. He was currently waiting in line to pay for the groceries he got but the wait had been long because one customer kept complaining that the machine overcharge him and the staff were trying to calm him down. His phone rings, interrupting his thoughts, and he sees Madeline's name on the screen. Answering, he hears her ask about his whereabouts. "Hey, Maddy, I'm at the grocery store. What's up?" Daniel responds, attempting to sound casual. Madeline, her voice a mix of nonchalance and curiosity, inquires about his location. Daniel, puzzled, asks, "Why the sudden interest? Are you planning a surprise visit or something?" Made

Their plan was made but they had forgotten one important detail. Jake leans back, a mischievous glint in his eyes, as he points out the flaw in their initial plan. "Listen, if you go swiping the necklace from the house, they're going to blame our dear friend Daniel here, just because he happened to be in the vicinity. We need a cleaner approach." Daniel, still a bit skeptical about the whole situation, rolls his eyes again, saying, "Glad someone is thinking about me, but stealing a necklace is still stealing, no matter where it happens." Madeline shoots Daniel an apologetic glance before turning her attention back to Jake. "So, what's your brilliant alternative, Jake? We can't afford any more complications." Jake smirks, "I've got it all figured out. We're going to pull off the heist of the century right under everyone's noses – at the event your parents are attending." Daniel, raising an eyebrow, asks, "You mean we're stealing it from the event? In public? Are you out of your mind?"

As Stephanie arrives at the airport, Madeline and Jake anxiously wait by the entrance. Daniel, sitting in the driver's seat of the inconspicuous car they borrowed, looks at Stephanie approaching and unlocks the doors for her. Stephanie hops in, holding a small package securely. Madeline greets her, "Steph, you're a lifesaver. Let's get going." They drive to a store to get a disguise for Jake. While they wait in the car, Jake taps his fingers on the steering wheel, a mix of anxiety and anticipation in the air. Daniel, checking the time on his phone, mutters, "Steph is taking longer than expected." Madeline, fidgeting with the fake necklace in her hands, chimes in, "Yeah, we can't afford any more complications. This whole plan is hanging on a delicate thread." Finally, Stephanie returns with a bag containing a suit and various disguises for Jake. She hands it over, saying, "Here you go, Jake. A little transformation for our distraction expert." Jake smirks, examining the contents of the

As they drive away, the tension starts to dissipate, and Jake can't help but laugh, "I never thought I'd be the star of a soap opera drama." Madeline, holding the fake necklace, replies with a smirk, "You nailed it, Jake. Now, let's focus on getting this necklace to Ashton and figuring out our next move." They head towards Madeline home to drop off Daniel. As Daniel steps out of the car, Madeline follows him to the front door of her home. The night is alive with a mixture of adrenaline and relief after their daring necklace heist. Gratitude fills Madeline's eyes as she turns to Daniel, expressing her thanks. "Daniel, seriously, thank you for being a part of this. We couldn't have done it without you." Daniel grins, brushing off the formality. "Hey, it was an unexpected adventure. Fun, actually. Just be careful, alright? And if you ever need help again, you know where to find me." Daniel hugs her and Madeline hesitates for a moment, caught in the sincerity of his words. However, before
The Billionaire’s One-night Stand CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN: RESCUE MISSION
Ashton, in the dimly lit basement of the gang's hideout, fights against his weakened state, sustained only by the thought of Marie. His spirit dims as he hears the distant echoes of footsteps and the clanging of the heavy gate. A guard announces the arrival of visitors, leaving Ashton puzzled and wary. The door creaks open, revealing a harsh light, and to Ashton's disbelief and joy, Marie and Amanda are forcefully thrown into the dank room. Despite his weakened state, Ashton summons his strength to catch Marie before she hits the unforgiving floor. Their eyes meet, and a flood of emotions rushes through Ashton—relief, concern, and an overwhelming sense of love. He forgets the pain momentarily, clutching Marie tightly. Marie, feeling Ashton's embrace, forgets the harsh reality of their situation for a moment. She clings to him, tears streaming down her face. Ashton, weak but determined, whispers, "I thought I lost you." Marie, barely holding back her sobs, manages a small smile, "You

The group huddled in Madeline's dorm, faces grim with determination. Jake broke the silence, "So, what's the plan, Daniel?" Daniel leaned against the wall, crossing his arms. "First, we need to get to Columbia. We can stay at my place; we can use it as a base." Stephanie interjected, "But how are we going to find Ashton and the others?" Daniel smirked, "That's where my guy comes in. He knows these places like the back of his hand. I'll give him a call, and he'll scope out the joint, feed us some intel. Then, we decide on our move." Madeline nodded in agreement. "Alright, sounds like a plan. Let's just hope this guy of yours knows what he's doing." Daniel pulled out his phone, dialing a number. "Don't worry; he's the best in the business. Hey, Tony, it's Daniel. Got a job for you." While Daniel conversed with Tony, Madeline turned to Jake, "Any thoughts on creating a distraction once we know where they are?" Jake shakes his head "no I don't . We just need to know the layout, and then w
