The Billionaire's Obsession
“A-are you really going to do this for me, with no strings attached?” she asked in a quiet voice, but I could still hear a slight, underlying tremble.
I shifted to face her, my face carefully wiped of all emotions. “Of course.” The lie dropped smoothly from my lips and I couldn’t muster the slightest ounce of regret.
The first step in my plan to ruin you, Eliza, is to make you Mrs West.

Chapter: Chapter 11~Atlas~Why am I even here?I could literally just go home.After all, there were only so many all-nighters I could pull at the office before my staff started to give me curious side looks. So it only made sense to go home.Or at least, that was the excuse I tried to make myself believe.The other reason could be that I couldn’t bring myself to stay away from the woman in my house any longer. And I absolutely refuse to accept that.With a small huff, I jerked up, shut my laptop and snatched my jacket from the back of my seat. Shrugging it on, I strode to the door and yanked it open.My secretary, Jane, looked up, startled and unable to hide her shock.“S-sir, you’re leaving?” she asked in a faint voice.Ordinarily, her probing would piss me off, but for some reason, I wasn’t the least bit affected.“Yes,” I said shortly without pausing. “I’m going home.”Gosh! It felt good to say that out loud.And after spending almost four weeks crashing on the spare couch in my office, my back was

Chapter: Chapter 10~Eliza~“I’m sorry, but there’s still no news on your grandmother’s whereabouts.”Hearing the private investigator’s apologetic voice, I felt the tiny sliver of hope I still had left start to dim.It had been one week since he started working to locate where my grandmother was and there hadn’t been any positive update.And the last thing I wanted was to make this any more public than it already was. My major concern was that Daniel would somehow hear about this and go after her instead.And he would probably find her since he had more money and resources to expend. I sighed and wearily said, “Fine, you can keep me updated when you do find her.”The investigator murmured something and I ended the call, proceeding to stare into space.“If,” the voice whispered in my ear and I briefly closed my eyes, refusing to imagine or even consider the possibility that my grandmother would never be found.Because if anything, it would mean I never got back my mother’s company and Daniel won.Yeah,

Chapter: Chapter 9~Eliza~I blinked, squinting my eyes as if that would make me see her better.My eyesight was perfect, but I couldn't believe how much she had changed.Aria was one of Atlas' friends back then. I knew her as a quiet, blond-haired woman. She never used to say much and seemed to prefer being on the edge of the friendship.After making some attempt to get close to her like the rest of his Atlas' friends, I gave up when I was met with stony silence. I actually used to think she disliked me or something, but Atlas had said that was just the way she preferred to be.This woman standing before me right now with bright eyes and a runway-worthy smile was nothing like the person I met six years ago.“Wow,” I said after several seconds of silence had passed.Aria grinned at me and bobbed her head up and down. “I know, right!”“It's been quite the change, so I don't expect you to immediately know who I was, but really,” she rolled her eyes and laughed lightly.I chuckled too, trying my best not t

Chapter: Chapter 8~Eliza~I had been tossing in bed restlessly for about ten minutes now.It was admittedly still too early to sleep, but I couldn’t bear the silence of the house anymore. My own thoughts seemed too loud and they were starting to suffocate me.Or maybe it was just my mind trying to keep me from experiencing another nightmare. It always started the same way.I would be in a car, driving down an empty highway, and suddenly, a car would ram into mine out of nowhere. Then nauseating pain would cramp my stomach and when I looked down, I would see blood.Somehow, in the nightmares, I never seemed to be able to move and save myself from the wreck. It was as if something or someone was holding me back. Then I would wake up, the pillow already wet with my tears.They were becoming more frequent now, and I knew the loss I just suffered triggered them. The first few months after the crash were the worst.I would jerk awake in a cold sweat, screaming for help to save a baby that was already gone. I

Chapter: Chapter 7~Atlas~I turned my neck to the side to ease the cramp.But the tension in my shoulders stubbornly remained. I dropped my pen and removed my glasses before rubbing my burning eyes.I was more than tired. I was darned exhausted.It was evening already and almost everyone had left. For a brief moment, the thought of going home too crossed my mind, like it had done at least a hundred times since I got married to Eliza.And just like before, I immediately discarded the idea before it could take root. Because I knew that going home would be the most dangerous thing I had ever done.My house was the last place I could afford to be right now. Not when Eliza was there, in my house, in my bed.I closed my eyes and heaved a breath as my mind drifted to the day we got married. The memory of her wide, scared eyes was burned into my brain as surely as the way her lips had parted when she said the words, ‘I do.’Only after the registrar pronounced us as husband and wife did my heart settle into a m

Chapter: Chapter 6~Eliza~It only took a few hours for my excitement to deflate.I had thought that I had figured out a way to get my company back from Daniel. My idea had been to reach out to my grandmother and ask her to sell me her shares in the company.Granted that I had no idea where she was since my father had basically alienated me from my mother’s side of the family. She might even decline helping me at all.Still, it was worth a try. And try, I had, until my eyes turned blurry from staring at the laptop’s screen for too long.Using the little information I could remember from eavesdropping on my dad’s conversation in his study, I searched online. If I could get even the slightest hint of her address, I could work on it and figure out her exact location.It had been at least four hours since I first started and I wouldn’t have minded at all if I found anything useful, but I hadn't.With a groan, I dropped my head on the table and dragged a hand through my hair. At this point, it was starting t
