Billionaire choice Chapter 1 Family Moments

Juliet's Point Of View

"Have you taken your drugs today Mum?" I asked my mum who was coming out of her room as we met in the corridor.

"No dear. I just woke up not quite long ago, and I haven't even eaten anything." Mum replied to me sharply.

"Mum! Not again! I told you to always take your drugs on time to avoid any complications or problems with your health." I said with a sigh.

"Juliet, it's not like that, you know it."

"Here you go again, mum. You want to explain again, you keep explaining and creating excuses, mum." I interrupted,

"Juliet. It's not like that, ever since this sickness started it has not been easy to walk about, from the room to the kitchen to use my drugs. My legs and body are not as agile as yours as a youth." Mum explained to me.

Touched by her words and her tone, I walked from the doorsteps to meet her where she was standing and gave her a hug and a radiant smile.

"I know mum. It's because I care about you and I want you to heal totally without having to be afraid of what might happen to you anyway. I cherish you mum."

I said to her, with my voice barely above a whisper.

"Thank you so much Juliet. You make me feel loved and appreciated." Mum said, with her eyes looking emotional.

"You're welcome mama. Now let's go and get those drugs so you can drink them." I said to her sharply.

"Thank you, my daughter."

We walked to the kitchen where I took a glass of water and proceeded to the sitting room where I took the drug that was in a sachet and gave it to my mother as she drank the drug effortlessly and coughed afterward.

"What's the matter? Sorry!" I said, patting her back with my hands.

"I'm fine dear, I rushed the water, that's why," Mum said, as she gulped the last bit of the water in the cup down her throat and she dropped the glass cup afterward.

"What's happening here?" A voice thundered from behind.

The eyes of Mum and I jammed each other, as we both turned and looked back to see who was talking, and it was my father who just walked into the sitting room while Mum and I were talking.

"Dad! You're awake!! How are you doing?" I said, with my teeth wide open.

"I'm good. I was hearing some noises from the room and I thought it was just proper for me to come and check what was going on in my house." Dad said.

"Your house or our house?" Mum asked sharply out of jealousy.

"Oh no! Not again! You both started this morning." I said, laughing.

Everyone burst into laughter, the atmosphere was filled with love and happiness even though we were poor.

"What are we going to eat today honey?" Dad asked sharply.

"It's just 6:30 in the morning, and you're asking what to eat Alex!" Mum yelled.

"Yes. Is it bad?" Dad asked.

"No it's not, but actually there's no food currently."

"Why?"

"Alex, we exhausted everything yesterday and have no money to get another batch." Mum explained to him.

I watched the sadness in my father's eyes, the pain and grief of not being able to provide for his family as a man.

"Dad, it's alright, please don't think about anything at all, things will be fine, and it's just a matter of time." I said, trying to motivate him, so he wouldn't feel bad.

"I really hope so." Dad replied to me.

"Mum, Dad. Please just hang on, let me get to work. If I can see any customers to give me tips during work hours, I will buy some food on my way back from work. We have not been paid yet because it's not yet the end of the month." I explained to my parents out of sincerity and truthfulness.

"No, don't worry." Dad said sharply. Obviously, it was his masculine ego that was revealing itself.

"Alex, we don't have any other option, and it would be nice if you just allowed Juliet to help us if she can." Mum said.

Dad looked downward, he was feeling ashamed and timid, but immediately I noticed, I had to make him feel better.

"Mum, Dad! Let me go and dress up so that I won't be late for work."

I said, as I quickly ran into my room and went to take my bath. It was a very fast one because I couldn't afford to waste any time so that I wouldn't annoy my boss, and he would sack me. He was hot-tempered and wouldn't hesitate to sack me if I made any mistakes at work despite the peanuts that he was paying me.

After I finished bathing, I picked up my dress from the broken wardrobe and I saw my clothes were rumpled and not ironed because we could not afford to buy a pressing iron in our house.

Nevertheless, I wore my clothes without any other option. I felt somehow, but then I just had to wear it and hurry to the office.

"Bye mum, bye dad. I love you" I said, waving off at them in the sitting room.

I walked through the bustling streets in our area, the noise and sounds of the little children filled the atmosphere. The gigantic buildings and little houses that differentiated the poor from the rich became so obvious.

I didn't have enough money to take a public bus to my place of work, and then I made use of my legs and walked as fast as I could. I had not eaten yet. I was walking miles early in the morning.

My legs were aching, my stomach was hurting me due to hunger, and then I started sweating profusely, breathing heavily, all signs showing how tired I was at that particular moment. I felt like stopping, but then I couldn't stop because I had to be at work as early as possible before the boss.

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.

It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
