I don't watch movies that much,but when I do,it's romance. I enjoy watching couples and their sweet love life and I used to envision myself being in love. 'it would be simple.' I thought,since I already have the perfect best friend who cares about me so much,he is perfect...well, except that he is a playboy. 'But we would work it out eventually' I thought. But my life took a different turn, nothing like the movies..... "Leave now!" "No,I won't." He hurled another bottle on the wall and the shattered sound made my heart skip,both in fear and concern. His hand was bleeding. "You are hurting yourself." My words were mere dust. The nearest glass cup was next,he grabbed it and sent it on the floor. This time,some piece got to my leg and gashed it. Tears slipped from my eye. Just a few months ago,I was just a poor unlucky girl looking for a job. Now,my life had gone beyond that,and it's not a good way ......

I fell for the cold Billionaire Chapter 1 Two worlds

"You are fired!"

"But......"She slammed the door in my face and I watched her go back to the counter without looking back.

Shit! I withdrew back.

Well at least she didn't break the glass door. I thought of going back to plead with her, but experience is the best teacher. When you have gone through the same process fifteen times and at fifteen different places,you'd learn to resign to your fate.

Walking over to where my ride was parked,I got on and pedaled towards home.

"Parky!" I heard a voice that I knew too well scream from a building.

I honestly hate New York city.

I held my break and looked up, as usual,she had a tiny apron strapped to her waist. "It's park shin! Park shin! How many times? Park! Shiiin!!"

She laughed.

Her family moved in last week to our street,and ever since she heard my brother yell my name one morning,she didn't fail to call me 'parky' everytime she sees me. I didn't even know her name yet.

"It's a nickname!" She screamed back. I wasn't seeing her clearly ,she was on the last floor of the building.

My mind moved from the name issue to deeper thoughts.

Why was she always free even though she was clearly at work?

How did she even get a job that easily? They just moved in.

How does she even see me everytime?

Maybe she wanted to be friends with me.

Before I could look up,she wasn't in sight anymore.

I shrugged and placed my legs on the pedal once again.

"Parky!!!" I heard again,she ran towards me.

And I thought I was the craziest one on earth...

"Where are you goi....." She stopped mid sentence, her face lit up as she looked across the road. My eyes followed her gaze.

Wow!

A very handsome guy was on display,he wore a white shirt and everything about him looked golden.

"He doesn't look real." My eyes didn't leave the billboard. My brain was too lazy to comprehend the big words that the advertisement held,but I focused on the guy. He looked angry but also composed,his expression was just difficult to read but I had never seen anyone as good looking. It was like he wasn't even trying at all but still looked stunning.

The weird girl laughed again. "That is my crush. Even though I'm dreaming and would never meet him."

"True,you are dreaming." I said and she bopped my shoulder. "What?" I found myself laughing. "Don't let your dreams be stupid like me.. we would never meet someone like that." I turned to point at the billboard but the advertisement was gone.

***WRITER***

Everywhere was dead silent,it was like everyone stifled even their breath.

"Who is in charge of PR?" His eyes didn't leave the file that he held,he spoke like every word cost a penny.

"I'm...I'm the one." A woman indicated. She was in her late thirties but could pass for a twenty year old.

Daniel's eyes were still on the file, leaving them hung in anticipation and curiosity. The manager and the woman were the most apprehensive. It would only take one negative sentence from him and their career would shake.

"The PR could use a bit more effort." He finally dropped the file and turned to the manager. "The accountant should be replaced tomorrow."

Everyone stifled their gasp as they turned to face the account whose face had gone pale instantly.

"Sir......" one look from Daniel shut him up.

Daniel stood up and walked out with a train of guards behind him.

The accountant's Shoulder sagged as he stood with others. The meeting was over and so was his job.

Nothing could be done again. Daniel Alcatel doesn't speak twice nor does he revoke his words.

***

After three more meetings in different companies,Daniel got home tired and angry.

Maids, guards and different workers bowed as he walked inside the large mansion,the stairs and then to his room. As soon as his room door was clicked shut,he eased off his tie and sent it flying.

The urge to break something was rising.

Why does he have to do this?

Why the heck does he have to be at those meetings talking to people physically?

Anger filled his throat,it was very hard to swallow. A small frame sitting on his table met with his eyes and he went numb instantly. Walking over,he lifted it and stared on. His cheat ached by mere looking and memories flooded.

If only.....

Sound of wailing siren interrupted his thoughts.

What! That could only mean one thing.

He dropped the frame gently and went to the window to look.

Shit! The anger found its way back slowly as he watched his mother get out of the car being opened by a driver.

What the hell was she doing in New York? She came back a month ago.

Tightening his teeth,he walked into his bathroom. About twenty minutes later,he got out of the shower;a towel wrapped around his waist,and just like he expected,his mother was seated on his cushion.

"Why are you here?" He just couldn't stand her.

"Apart from business classes,we also tried manners." Her face was stiff like his,impatience and strictness written all over.

Daniel just gave her a look and went for his lotion.

"I have so many things to attend to so I'd go straight to the point. You are getting married,and soon."

Daniel turned to her in shock.

She straightened her designer suit and continued. "The future of our organization is in your hands,so we have to be fast with everything. You will meet your fiance very soon." She stood up and went for the door. "Be nice to her,I didn't fly down here for nothing." She grabbed the knob and the door clamped shut behind her.

Daniel stood still for a while, trying to digest the information. He heard the siren wailing once again and then the gate being opened.

He paced back and forth, hoping to pacify the anger but each step intensified it.

A wife??

The nearest wine bottle was unlucky,he grabbed it and hurled at the wall in rage.

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
