64 // New Acquaintances
"Boss, shouldn't we call Mrs Mendoza?" Javier's driver asked as he watched his employer bleed out in the backseat of his car.
Javier grunted, this must have been the hundredth time he was asking a stupid question. "No, let her spend some time with her family," he breathed heavily as he pressed his palms into his stomach to stop the gush of blood from his stab wound.
"Sir, are you sure you don't want to go to a hospital?" The driver stuttered.
Javier shut his eyes in frustration. "I already told you that no hospitals, and definitely no police. Just shut up and let me think," he gritted.
He breathed out and closed his eyes as he let the darkness of the night engulf him, feeling serene grace in the silent and soulless night.
It was not the first time he was on the edge of death, but it was the first time he was left with a stupid and

"I'm sorry, maybe we got off the wrong foot," MJ said in a welcoming voice. She was even surprised herself that she felt rather calm after meeting with Javier Mendoza. It was nerve-wrecking at first to think that she was going face to face with one of the world's most notorious drug lord and arms dealer.She was aware of his existence, but she preferred to stay clear of the Mexicans throughout the years; living on the run was just not her style.Javier Mendoza was bad news. He was probably the worst man she had ever met, but their meeting today proved that no man was necessarily untouchable. He was deceitful and vengeful, but somewhere deep down, she knew he had a weakness – his heart. There was more to him than what met the eye, but she had more time to get to know his skeletons.For now, her main priority was to get her company back up and running so that she could attend to the mo
The Billionaires Too (#2) 66 // Trust
When MJ first asked him to refer to her by her name, it had come as a shock, that he'd imagined she had grown two heads. It had to be the only explanation to her change in attitude towards him.She now treated him like a friend and not just her driver like she used to. He was happy, but it was not an easy task because changing her attitude towards him or anyone else did not exactly change who she was. She was still the same person. MJ Billings, the cold, heartless and ruthless billionaire. She was still the same heartless person who only just offered a smaller pure part of her heart.And after everything she had been through for the past few weeks, he knew her good Samaritan act was too good to be true, she was playing a game that no one was aware of. But he knew better, she was not to be trusted in her state of mind, not even now that they were having a drink together in her office.
The Billionaires Too (#2) 67 // Confrontations
After all these years of working from dawn to dusk every single day, MJ had never experienced this kind of exhaustion. It was not just physical or mental, but emotional exhaustion.It was as though something in her had snapped, and she invested her emotions into her work for the past three days. She had never thought with her heart before, but with everything she held dear seeming to slip farther away from her, she needed to compromise.It had been such a long week, especially with the encounter with Logan Parker earlier in the week, Jorge, the Mendoza siblings, and Liam. She could only hope her efforts did not go to waste, and her that her company would be rolling down the red carpet soon.She dragged her feet across the underground parking, her bodyguards following right behind her at a slower pace which made her even more tired.She reached for the door that l
The Billionaires Too (#2) 68 // Apologies
"When Cameron said you'd come running back to me, I didn't think it would be this soon."Blair stood next to the couch with her hands crossed. She could not believe this was happening; just the other day she was in MJ Billings' office begging her not to have her license revoked, and now it was MJ begging for help.Blair was never the type to turn away someone when they desperately needed her help, but for the first time ever, she was contemplating to. She still remembered how MJ treated her when she went to her office to ask not to have her license revoked, how she had desperately pleaded for her not to ruin her career over a misunderstanding.But that never stopped her. She had not practiced for more than two years now, and had lived off her pension money which was slowly running out.MJ Billings had proved who she really was when she made sure that no one would
The Billionaires Too (#2) 69 // Day One
"Long night?" Blair asked, standing against the kitchen counter while sipping on coffee.MJ was seated on the couch with her face buried in her hands. She was still in the red suit from the previous day, now wrinkled and stained with makeup. Her hair which was previously tied into a neat bun was now loose and messy like a cave woman. She looked exhausted from the dramatic night she had.Blair sighed and placed her mug down. "Listen, uhm...About last night, I might have been a bit harsh on you. What do you say we start on a new slate?"MJ lifted her head with a deep breath. "Blair, I–""How about you take a shower first, I still have some of your clothes from your previous visits. I'll prepare breakfast while you shower." She did not leave any room for argument. Knowing MJ, she was most likely going to turn down her offer because she was afraid to confront h

'I want you to find direction in your life, I want you to get back on the road you lost. Isn't that what you want?'She pondered over the question, she had been trying to live a normal life all these years, but she had no idea how.She feared being normal, which was why she always found a way to push away anyone that tried to get closer to her.The reality of getting attached to someone and having them in her life constantly, scared her. She was comfortable with Cameron being that person, but she got too close to him and now she was paying the price. She felt empty without him, it was as though he held access to every single door in her life, and now he had left them all wide open, allowing for cold air to seep through.The world was too congested without him to tell her to take it easy. She just hoped he was safe wherever he was, he was probably on his way
The Billionaires Too (#2) 71 // Fresh Start
"I wasn't expecting you to come back so soon after the way you left this morning," Blair said as she closed the door behind her.MJ headed for Blair's office, but not before muttering, "Yeah, me neither."Blair sighed and went to the kitchen to prepare a light meal. "Would you like anything to eat or drink?" She yelled, but continued anyway when MJ declined her offer. "That girl hates food. What woman in this century doesn't like food?" She muttered to herself.She finished up and placed the platters and juice on the tray before taking them to MJ. "Lunch is served." She sat down, not leaving any space for argument.MJ knew she was not going to start with the session until she has eaten something. To Blair's satisfaction, MJ finished her food and had a bit from Blair's plate.After they were done eating, their session started. Within the
The Billionaires Too (#2) 72 // Up and About Too
The first thing MJ did when she arrived at work the next day was to check with Brianna if she had anything on Cameron, but she was not yet in and her team were not aware of the situation.It had completely slipped her mind that Brianna was married and had children, and that she had to put up the identity of a real estate agent to her family while at the same time, catering for both her family and the company. They obviously still had a long way to go.After an hour, the building started to pile up as all the employees returned from the sister branch. It was a sight to behold as MJ felt the air rush into her lungs, it was as if her building had come to life and was breathing again. Chatter and murmurs rose, and for the first time ever, she did not mind the noise.MJ had resorted to coming to work much earlier than everyone again, and the empty desks where both Anita and Samantha used to res
