The Billionaire Empire Chapter 21: Seraphina
An hour later, Harper frowned."What do you mean? I'm confused.""It's all just one huge mess," I sighed."I went back home to California, and it turned out Jaxon didn't really care, so I ended things with him. But I didn't tell Sebastian because I don't want him thinking I broke up with Jaxon because of him.""Yeah, I understand that." She frowned. "But why is Sebastian acting like such an asshole now?""Because she didn't wear the gray skirt," Lucas cut in. "Weren't you listening?""But why?" she asked in surprise. "That's ridiculous.""I know," I replied sharply."It's not really about the skirt," Lucas said while chewing his food. "It's about control. He wants her to do what he tells her."I frowned while thinking about his words."You think so?""I still don't understand." Harper frowned."It's symbolic to him. He wants her to submit.""Well, I'm not going to," I huffed. "Honestly, the man is fucking stupid if he thinks I will."Harper rolled her eyes."Oh God, if he asked me to
The Billionaire Empire Chapter 19: Seraphina
I sat in the café across the street from the Cross Global Holdings building. I told myself I had only come to buy some takeout for dinner. But the real reason was that I wanted to see him leave. I wanted to look at his face and find out if it was as red as mine. I was so close to orgasming in public that it wasn't even funny. How could just one finger over my clothes make me feel so turned on? This man made me melt into a soft, wet, helpless puddle. Whenever he touched me, I had no power to resist him.For the past twelve months, I had been dreaming about Bash, the funny and carefree man I spent one night with. But now that I had met another side of him, I wasn't sure I liked him anymore. I mean, he was attractive—more than attractive. He was unbelievably hot.Who really was Sebastian Cross?I sat on the bench beside the window and kept looking across the street. Then I saw the limousine arrive and stop in the parking area.I quickly straightened up. My stomach twisted, and I held my

Dominic looked at Sebastian’s glass of scotch. “What time is it? Has happy hour started?”“It’s four thirty, and yes,” Sebastian answered.Dominic walked over to the bar and poured himself a glass of the amber drink. Then he lifted another glass toward me. “Would you like a drink, Seraphina?”“No thanks. I’m working,” I replied nervously.A small look of amusement appeared on Sebastian’s face as he raised his drink to his lips.What was that expression? Was he smirking at me, or was he almost smiling? I honestly couldn’t understand this man.Sebastian stayed where he was and kept looking at me. Our eyes stayed locked, and the tension between us filled the room.“You wanted to see me?” I asked. I really had no idea what kind of meeting included scotch. For a second I wondered if I should have accepted a drink. Then I immediately changed my mind.I remembered what happened the last time I got drunk with this man. I had practically tried to suck all the blood out of him.“As we just talk

I frowned as I read the article.What?Marjorie had told me she hadn’t spoken to anyone else about this except me.I read the article again... and then again.It was almost exactly the same as the story I had written, almost word for word. The more I read it, the more confused I became.Had she given another reporter the same incorrect name?I took out my phone and called her. She answered immediately.“Hello, Marjorie. This is Seraphina Hale.”“Oh, hello, dear. That was quick.”“Marjorie, did you speak to anyone else from another newspaper about the graffiti story?”“No, dear.”“You didn’t tell anyone else?” I asked with a frown.“Not a single person. Everyone on the street agreed that we only wanted Cross Global Holdings to report it. That way we knew the police would have to pay attention.”My heartbeat became louder in my ears.What was happening?“Coffee for Seraphina,” the cashier called.“Thank you.”I picked up my coffee and stepped back into the rain, completely confused.It

Monday morning“And what do you think would happen if you told the police about what you suspect?” I asked.“Nothing. Absolutely nothing,” the frail old woman replied. She looked to be at least ninety years old. Her white hair was neatly styled in finger waves, and she wore a lovely mauve dress. “They’re useless.”I carefully wrote down her answer in my notebook.Today I was out in the field, following up on a lead I had found myself. Recently, there had been a series of satanic graffiti painted on the fronts of houses, and this woman’s home had been targeted three different times. Frustrated by the lack of help from the police, she had contacted Cross Global Holdings, and I happened to be the one who answered the phone.“So... tell me how all of this started,” I said.“It began back in November.” She paused while trying to remember. “November sixteenth was the first time. There was a huge picture of the devil himself.”“Okay.” I looked up from my notes. “What did it look like?”“It w

“Hey.” I smiled as Jaxon opened the front door.“Hey, you.” He smiled and wrapped his arms around me. “This is a surprise.”“I know. I missed you, so I flew home this morning just to spend the night.”“Come in.” He led me into his converted garage.I hadn’t been able to sleep the night before. I was worried about my feelings, and I couldn't stop thinking about stupid Sebastian Cross. I got up early, went straight to the airport, and caught the first flight home.I looked around Jaxon’s small studio apartment. Empty pizza boxes and dirty glasses were scattered around the room.“What have you been doing?” I asked.“Not much.” He smiled, lay down on the bed, and patted the space beside him.I lay next to him, and he slipped his hand under my top while looking into my eyes.“Did you go to any job interviews this week?” I asked.“No. Nothing really matched what I wanted.”I frowned. “Isn’t any job better than no job?” I asked hopefully.“I’m waiting for the right one.” He gently kissed me.

Oh no.“Don’t look so happy about it.” He smirks.“Bash...” I stammer.Oh God, how do I explain this?“I’m not really the type of woman who...” My voice fades away.“Who fucks on first dates?” he asks, finishing the sentence for me.“Yes.” I cringe at how blunt that sounds. “I just don’t want you t

I widen my eyes to make my point clearer.“To be nice.”“Oh, right.” He frowns as if preparing himself to tell a lie. “Seraphina... all men are completely turned off by Backseat Barbies.”I smile and lift my glass toward him.“Thank you, Bash.”“Although...” He pauses for a moment. “If they give a

“Maybe the man at the counter thought you were beautiful and upgraded your seat to impress you.”“I never thought about that.” I sip my champagne while trying to hide my smile. That’s a strange thing to say. “Is that what you would do?” I ask. “If you worked at the counter, would you upgrade women
The Billionaire Empire Chapter 1: Seraphina’s POV
“Can you move aside?” A rough voice came behind me. I was surprised, so I turned around to look at the man standing behind me in the line. “I’m sorry?” I say, while feeling flustered. “Did you want to get through?”“No. I want these fucking idiots at the counter to hurry up. I’m going to miss my d
