THE BILLIONAIRE'S MUSE 1.

"Yes ma'am, I understand. I'll be there very soon." Isla said, trying to hold her stuff together. She carelessly placed her phone to her ear and supported it with her shoulder as she tried to hold her laptop and her books together at the same time.

She was on a call with her boss and had been instructed to come to the studio as they had a shoot coming up.

"Yes ma'am, I'll leave now. Oh shit!" She said as her books fell to the floor.

"No ma'am, I wasn't referring to you. Yes ma'am, okay, bye." She quickly said and hung up the call.

She quickly bent down to pick up her books and noticed some of them were torn.

"Oh no." She muttered.

She quietly picked them up and put them into her small bag. She ran back to class to talk to her friend, Melissa.

"I have to go now. My boss needs my help." She said panting.

"For what? Can't it wait? You've been missing classes." Melissa said with a frown.

"I know, I know. But I need to do it, you know the situation right? Please don't stop me. I also have a package to deliver, I'll try to do that after work."

"You won't come back? Even to study?" Melissa said.

"Don't worry about that, take notes and send them to me. Thank you, love you, bye." She said and ran out again.

Melissa just shook her head in pity.

"I feel for her, damn." She muttered.

Isla was twenty-one years old. She was studying business management in school. Her father was late and she had four siblings to help her mother train as the first child. She had to work as an assistant in a photography studio and endured her annoying boss. She also had an online mini thrift store. Her mother worked in a soap company and her pay wasn't high.

Ethan walked briskly, in his black tuxedo and dark glasses, with his hands in his pocket. His personal assistant walked behind him, holding his briefcase.

"Welcome boss." One of the pretty female staff greeted them with a cheerful smile, but Ethan only grunted in reply.

All other staff avoided him totally, which was cool with him because he didn't actually care.

He got to the front of the elevator, and his personal assistant quickly pressed the button. They both got in, another female staff also got in.

"Hello, boss. I love your tuxedos, you sure know how to make beautiful designs, these are one of a kind." The staff said.

Ethan ignored her.

"Umm...boss?" She called again, trying to get his attention.

"Who are you?" Ethan asked without looking her way.

"Ava Williams, sir." She said,

" I want your resignation letter on my desk," Ethan said.

The elevator stopped and he walked out. His personal assistant followed him immediately, leaving the confused girl wondering what she had done wrong.

Ethan got to his office and walked

straight to the shelf. He used his finger to wipe it as if looking for traces of dust.

"Everything is clean and sparkly. I made sure of that." Nicholas, his personal assistant said.

"Hmmph." Ethan murmured.

He walked to his desk and wiped it again, while Nicholas watched with an amused look on his face.

"After the incident last time, I was strict with the office cleaning. Relax." Nicholas said again.

Ethan shrugged and sat down on his chair.

"So, where are the files?" Ethan asked.

Nicholas sighed.

"Take a chill pill bro. You haven't had lunch yet. You didn't even have breakfast."

"I'm not hungry, Nick. Look, there's not much time. I need to go through those files, I heard there were some letters too from people seeking employment. Dispose of them all, there are no vacancies." Ethan said.

"Speaking of letters, don't you think you were too hard on Miss Ava? She was just being nice." Nicholas said with a shrug.

Ethan glared at him.

"I'll go get the files," Nicholas said and left.

Ethan sighed and held his forehead with his hands.

Isla rushed into the studio sweating profusely, she ran all the way there as she didn't want to spend money on transportation.

"Sorry, I'm late." She said, panting.

"Good, you're finally here. Quickly set up the lights, and get the chairs too. Hurry!" Her boss Madison ordered.

Isla kept her things in a corner and immediately got to work.

"Mrs. Ivan wants a flowery look. Go get the props." Madison ordered

Isla was still busy setting up the lights when the instruction came.

"Yes ma'am. I'll do that as soon as I'm done with this."

"Hurry up Isla. There is no time, we don't have all day. Stop acting like a slug!" Madison yelled.

"Yes ma'am."

Isla hurriedly set up the lights and ran out to get the props. There were different colors of flowers in the prop room, she didn't know which one was needed, so she went back to ask.

"Ma'am, what colors of flowers do we need?"

Madison glared at her.

"Are you crazy? You mean you've forgotten so soon? Oh damn, you're so dumb. Mrs Ivan booked this shoot weeks ago, and we literally planned everything. Why the hell are you asking me what color when everything has been planned out? Go get the red and yellow flowers, silly girl." Madison yelled.

Isla sighed and walked back to the props room. She took the red and yellow flowers, but when Mrs Ivan was adorned with it, she noticed the color combination wasn't right.

"Ma'am, how about we use a different color, the color combination doesn't fit." She suggested.

"Oh...you don't only forget things easily, you also forget that I'm the boss and you're nothing. Do not teach me my work." Madison warned sternly.

"M...m..miss, I th..think she's right." The stylist stammered.

"What the hell is wrong with you both? This is the color the client wants. Why are you both trying to act smart here when it's obvious you both are dumb." Madison said.

Mrs Ivan chuckled softly.

"Madison, let's hear them out." She said, and turned to Isla.

"Let's hear your suggestion, dear."

Isla's throat dried instantly as she noticed Madison's deadly stare.

"Okay?" Mrs Ivan said.

"Umm...I....how about purple and yellow? I think it goes better." Isla said.

"Wow, brilliant. Madison, that's a brilliant suggestion from Isla. Let's do it."

Madison rolled her eyes.

"Fine then. Isla, go get the flowers."

Isla smiled as she hurriedly got the flowers and of course, the combination was perfect as it also suited Mrs Ivan's skin tone.

Isla smiled proudly as she saw her suggestion come to life.

She had gone to get water for Mrs Ivan when she heard a loud bang and scream from the studio.

"Isla!!" She heard Madison's voice yelling urgently.

Isla immediately turned......

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.
