Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire's Heartbeat : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

MIA’S POV I stirred, blinking against the dim light as my head pounded with a terrible headache. I squinted around the room, my heart skipping a beat as confusion took hold. Where was I? How did I get here? Then, I noticed the figure lying beside me. Completely naked. A cold chill ran through me. I gasped in horror, clutching the blanket to my chest as I realized that I was naked too. I tried to sit up quickly, but a sharp pain stabbed the back of my head, forcing me to groan and press my palms against my temples. The sound startled me, and I muffled it quickly, squeezing my eyes shut and silently praying that he wouldn’t wake. To my relief, he stirred briefly, then continued sleeping. I took a moment to look at him again. He was sound asleep, seemingly unaware of my presence. Without another second to waste, I quietly got down from the bed and reached for my clothes scattered on the floor. My hands trembled as I got dressed in silence and slipped out of the room as quickly as

MIA'S POV I knocked on his office door before entering with my breath held not knowing what was coming. "What the hell was that all about Madeleine?" "My name is Mia not Madeleine ". "I don't give a damn what your name is. Don't you ever speak to me in that manner let alone in the presence of my staff or anyone else at that". He stood up from his chair and stopped right in front of me. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I took in his intimidating size. "Look here missy, I don't know what your problem is and I definitely do not give a damn about it. But I'm telling you right now, if you love your job and want to keep it, you better do as you are told. Because if this insolent behavior of yours repeats itself again, I won't hesitate to fire you.Do I make myself clear? ". Waiting for an answer from me, I decided not to give him any. He stared at me for some time without a word.Then he repeated the question but this time with an hard glare. "DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR ?". "Yes

MIA'S POV" We WHAT!?? "..... He shouted back at me. Oh My God!!! Why the hell is he feigning ignorance?.." The night we had SEX or should I say the night you raped me" "Hold it up right there!!!....We had sex? You mean I slept with you? Rape you, you say? Are you sure you are not mistaken? Jesus Christ Miss Anderson, are you out of your mind? I barely know you for pete sake. Now, I'm convinced that you were sent to destroy me. Who paid you to do this to me? Whose dog are you?" He asked with a look of disgust evident on his face. "Yes,you raped me and no, I'm not mistaken." I declared with my chin up,meeting his gaze with my teary ones. "Why did you do it?You ruined my life Mr Black and I hate you so much with all of my heart" However, I should have been more prepared because the moment I uttered those statements, he was right in front of me. For the first few minutes, there was complete silence. I was held captive in the grip of his unwavering calculating gaze.His gaze pierced

MIA'S POVI smiled along with the children playing in the park. They were so carefree, so young and full of innocence. I wonder why we can't be this free and happy as an adult. I remembered the days I was as free and innocent as these children; without having to worry about anything in the world. Just like them, if someone had told me years ago that someday in my adulthood, that my joy will be snatched away by the cruelty of this world, I wouldn't have believed the person.I wished in my innermost heart and with all sincerity that these children don't have to grow up to experience the wickedness of this world which I'm having a taste of right now. No matter how hard I fought to hold my tears back, I just couldn't restrain them from falling down any longer. I let them flow freely without minding who was watching. Why is this world so cruel? I put my hands on my thigh as I use them to cover my face." Nobody will believe you Mia. It is your word against mine" His words rang in my

AIDEN'S POV"Fine." I grumbled. " I'm doing this for your own good. What if she gets hold of the pictures before you even let her know what was happening? Don't you think if she decides to let it out,you stand a lot to lose?""Audrey is right, Aiden. Besides, it's just an apology. You at least owe her that.""Come on man, not you too. I see you two are ganging up on me." I tried to wriggle out from doing this with the excuse of not knowing where she lives."That won't be a problem because I do." Audrey smiled sweetly at me. "Since you don't have anything you're doing,we could go now."Giving me a look that says "you're not getting out of this." I shot her a murderous glare but still reluctantly followed her to Mia's home.I called her several times but she didn't pick up.Audrey did too,same result. I guess she didn't want to speak with any of us.We got to her door and I could hear some laughter coming from inside. An adult's which certainly must be hers and a little girl's voice.
