Taming the billionaire's heart Chapter 1 Newyork

Living in Newyork was a challenge I didn't see coming . New York is a city filled with luxurious hotels , people with luxurious lifestyle , expensive restaurants and malls and in the center of the city is where my workplace is located; a company that is known for its involvement in every sector, the CEO Is one of the richest people in the world making the company the top in US and paet of the top 3 in the world and I happen to be working in the HR department

"Jessica can you stop daydreaming" alexia whispered

I wasnt" I argued

"Well if you weren't you would have laughed when our Vp started her usual nusicance" she snorted

Okay, okay that's enough" our vp shouted " Everyone back to work"

I couldn't help but pity myself and everyone in this department because we are been called weirdos and a waste of companies money by the other departments" I whispered to Alexia

"Well I cannot but agree with them, because our Vp is really a raging mad woman" Liam said moving his chair closer to me and alexia

"Mr Thomas I believe gisting is not what you are paid for right?" She yelled

"Yes ma'am" Liam replied

Now get your asses back to work" she said as she glared at the 3 of us

"Yes ma'am" we chorused

This woman is clearly possessed, I can feel it" alexia whisper yelled

" Keep quiet the chief is heading towards us" I spoke

The chief of our department was the only one keeping us sane in that department and helping us escape the wrath of the ruthless Vp.

" Hello everyone" the chief greeted warmly as he entered.

" I'm so sorry if I have interrupted your work but I have something very important to request from you all" he said with a warm smile on his face.

"As you all know the executive meeting with the CEO is today and we executives of the company are all expected to be there with our personal assistant by our side, but unfortunately my PA as called on sick" he continued.

I could already feel alexia stiffen beside me and when I looked round at others, everyone had fear written on their face

"So I would really like if someone can volunteer"

Damien Knight who happens to be the CEO of Knight Industries was known for his ruthlessness to everyone , he was said to be a very cold and heartless person who doesn't care about others not to talk more of their feelings. He was known to be the most handsome man in the world but behind that handsomeness is a very cold heart. Being a PA to any executive is like committing suicide because you have to meet Mr Knight every month and you have the probability of even fired, because even breathing in the same room he is can get the person fired.

Anyone??

My mind immediately came back to what the chief was saying

"Any volunteer? "He asked again

"Sir do you mind if I choose someone?" Our Vp butted in

" No I don't mind, you can go ahead" he said with hope in his eyes

Immediately she was given the permission are eyes zoomed toward me, alexia and Liam

" Liam you go" She said and Liam looked up in horror.

"Ma I don't think I can , I have been feeling down since morning and I think I'm coming down with a flu" immediately after speaking he excused himself.

Immediately me and the Vp eyes came in contact the best thing that came out of her mouth was " Jessie you go then"

I tried finding an excuse but I couldn't so I just gave up and accepted defeat.

I couldn't say no, so I stood up reluctantly

I am so happy that you could render a helping hands toward me"chief smiled " let's quickly go before Mr Knight gets mad".

"Okay sir" I gritted out

" Let's go then" the chief smiled

I placed a fake smile on my face and followed him to the top floor while praying for this meeting to go successfully

We finally got to the CEO floor and walked towards the meeting room where other executive where filing in.

After every executive was sitted with their PA beside them, a very handsome man entered the room and I immediately recognised him as Brian Kingston the secretary to the devil

"Good morning everyone, Mr Knight should be here anytime soon" immediately he finished talking a very handsome and hot man who was 6ft tall with a well proportional physique exuding confidence with a chiseled jaw , piercing blue eyes , black sleek hair came into the room and I immediately knew that was Damien Knight. In my 3 years of working here I have never seen this man so close and he does no justice to the pictures in the magazine because he is drop dead fucking gorgeous .

He strode towards his seat at the top of the table without acknowledging anyone and pulled back his chair to seat. Our chief was sitting next to his chair meaning I was very close to him.

And seeing I did something that turned my life around for the worst

I sneezed

.........

Immediately Damien turned to me with glaring eyes and I felt like been swallowed by the ground.

His face was void of any emotions and displayed no rage and while still under his glaring eyes I sneezed again.

Oh God , I'm about to die" I muttered

I could already see the consequence glaring back at me and that was me handing in my resignation letter or getting fired before the meeting.

" Sir something needs your attention outside" Brian whispered to him

" What is that?" He asked

"Elizabeth" that was the only reply Brian before he stood up with rage emitting from his body making me pity whosoever this Elizabeth was.

Not too long after he left the room , we all heard his booming voice from outside.

"Get her out of my company right now" he shouted

Everyone present in the room was surprised because Damien never shows emotions but this woman triggered the unknown in him and made him mad. And his cold self is so much better than his angry self.

I was four months pregnant, weighing over two hundred pounds, and my heart was failing from experimental treatments forced on me as a child. My doctor looked at me with clinical detachment and told me I was in a death sentence: if I kept the baby, I would die, and if I tried to remove it, I would die. Desperate for a lifeline, I called my father, Francis Acosta, to tell him I was sick and pregnant. I expected a father's love, but all I got was a cold, sharp blade of a voice. "Then do it quietly," he said. "Don't embarrass Candi. Her debutante ball is coming up." He didn't just reject me; he erased me. My trust fund was frozen, and I was told I was no longer an Acosta. My fiancé, Auston, had already discarded me, calling me a "bloated whale" while he looked for a thinner, wealthier replacement. I left New York on a Greyhound bus, weeping into a bag of chips, a broken woman the world considered a mistake. I couldn't understand how my own father could tell me to die "quietly" just to save face for a party. I didn't know why I had been a lab rat for my family’s pharmaceutical ambitions, or how they could sleep at night while I was left to rot in the gray drizzle of the city. Five years later, the doors of JFK International Airport slid open. I stepped onto the marble floor in red-soled stilettos, my body lean, lethal, and carved from years of blood and sweat. I wasn't the "whale" anymore; I was a ghost coming back to haunt them. With my daughter by my side and a medical reputation that terrified the global elite, I was ready to dismantle the Acosta empire piece by piece. "Tell Francis to wash his neck," I whispered to the skyline. "I'm home."

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband's Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn't find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn't even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father's legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn's party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara's health and managing every detail of Caden's empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I'd drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause-if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I'd forgotten.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
