ILLICIT #2: Crescent Chapter 1 1

Leah Morris

I looked up to see the Estelle building in full of admiration. I've been dreaming to work here since I graduated from Harvard. In Harvard, Estelle and Lemiere had been praised by a lot of people for their security and defence technology. Estelle is based in Europe when Lemiere is based in America and Canada.

I applied to Lemiere for a job but I didn't get in. There were a lot of people applying because who doesn't want to work for the Gold Lifes? It's everyone's dream to meet them in real life and actually learn from them.

Instead of giving up, I decided to go to London applying for the job in Estelle. Estelle company is currently run by the youngest Prince of Denmark, Adrian Nielsen. He was known to be smart, strict and ruthless when it comes to his job. I'm completely nervous because this is one of those jobs that really requires skill and knowledge.

I walked into the building with my sweaty hands completely nervous for the interview. I walked to the visitor desk and the woman who was in charge looked at me to say something.

"I'm Leah Morris and I'm here for the job interview." I said.

"Which department are you applying to?" She asked as she pointed at the glass in front of me to put both of my hands on there.

"Security and defense technology." They scanned my finger prints and then she pointed a small camera at me. "Ms. Morris, this is your visitor card. Go to the 16th floor and you will find Mitchell there to assist you." She said and I thanked her. Taking the visitor card with me and walking towards the lift.

I waited on the line because there's a lot of employees working here and I felt a little nervous seeing all of them. They looked really professional and I really hope that I could get this job.

"Excuse me, please step aside." Suddenly I was gently pushed to the side. People were standing against the wall making way for someone. Is it Adrian Nielsen himself?

"I guess you're going for a job interview here?" I turned to see a beautiful blonde woman standing beside me. She was holding 6 cups of coffee and I gave her a nervous smile.

"I'm really nervous." I whispered.

"What department are you?" She asked as she hugged all the coffee cups tightly before someone could squeeze it.

"Security and defense tech."

"Really? That's awesome. Usually that department will work with Adrian Nielsen himself. That's what I've heard. I'm Aubrey by the way." She said in her thick british accent.

"I'm Leah and I hope that's the case." I said and she turned her head towards the entrance door.

"Princess Aria is here, I guess she's coming back to London for good now." Aubrey said and I saw Princess Aria walking into the building. She's a definition of a goddess. She's so beautiful that it really makes my confidence go down.

She was talking to her secretary and guards were protecting her as she walked towards the lift. After she got into the lift, I got into another lift for my interview. I thanked Aubrey for giving a goodluck and she proceeded to walk away with her 6 coffees.

I pressed the 16th button and took a really deep breath. My heart is pounding so fast and I can't even calm myself. As soon as I got out of the lift, I saw a lot of people already waiting for the interview. It was about 40 to 50 people and it made my confidence go down.

"Hello, I'm Mitchell and can I get your name?" I turned to the man who's holding 2 iPads at the same time. "I'm Leah Morris."

"Oh, you're American." He said when he heard my accent. I gave him a smile and he checked if my name was on the list. He turned to his secretary and they both gave me the number 17. He told me to sit and wait until my turn.

I sat down near the window and tried to calm down. I decided to listen to music and just try to practice my speech if the interviewer asks me questions. After 2 hours of waiting, they called my name. I followed Mitchell to a small meeting room and there's 3 interviewers.

I smiled and greeted them politely. They asked me to sit down and started asking me questions. I tried my best to be as professional and as honest as I can be. They were impressed with my resume and the fact that I graduated from Harvard. In fact, Harvard really admires Lemiere and Estelle for being this good in development especially for programming.

I've been working with a lot of big companies too before but I want to really dive into the real deal. That's why I come all over from New York to London. One of the interviewers asked me to wait outside the door for a couple of minutes because they wanted to make a quick call.

I hope this is a good sign because I really want this job. Imagine being able to work in this company, it's just a dream come true. After waiting for about 20 minutes, Mitchell told me to go inside again.

I walked into the room nervously and sat down. I looked at them smiling awkwardly.

"This is a quite rare case, Ms. Morris, but we saw you are one of the top candidates to work here since we received your resume last month. You got the job." She said and I can't help but squeal for a second.

"But.. Here's the catch for you. We will be doing a lot of tests regarding your mental health tomorrow. We want to make sure that you're capable of doing this job and not being a threat to our company." The man beside her said and I smiled nodding.

"I will gladly take the test."

"And one more thing.. you're not going to work in security system development but you will work as a software engineer with Mr. Nielsen himself." I was more than speechless at this point.

"If.. you pass the test tomorrow."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

The Billionaire's Blind Bride: No Mercy

The Billionaire's Blind Bride: No Mercy

Emma

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.

The Convict Heiress: Marrying The Billionaire

The Convict Heiress: Marrying The Billionaire

Rollins Laman

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

The Mute Bride Is The Secret Mastermind

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.
