My Cold-Hearted Billioniare Chapter 1 Barbara's Pov

I sat on the couch in the sitting room, my face buried in my laptop, drafting the contract proposal my boss had asked me to write.

For a month now, I had been immersed in this business proposal, writing and rewriting, striving for perfection. It was a big deal for my boss; his nervousness about it was palpable, which was strange since he was usually so confident and unflappable.

I had shown him my drafts twice, only to be sent back for revisions each time because he insisted it wasn't good enough. He emphasized the need for fresh ideas, as the well-being of our company hinged on this contract, and the person who would sign it was a big shot.

We had to put our best foot forward if we were to partner with him and his company. The apartment was quiet; my loud flatmate, Amelia, was out on one of her countless dates, leaving me with the entire place to myself.

After much effort, I finally finished the proposal and felt a surge of confidence and satisfaction. This had to be the best business proposal I had ever crafted. I emailed it to my boss for confirmation, and as I scrolled through TikTok, a notification popped up-an email from him.

Despite my confidence, a wave of nervousness washed over me. What if he had more corrections? I was exhausted from working on this project for the past month! I whispered a quick prayer before opening the email, and the first sentence sent a rush of joy through me:

"Good job, Barbara!" Was I dreaming? He finally accepted it! Oh my goodness! I could finally breathe a little! I strolled into the kitchen, craving a scoop of ice cream from the refrigerator to celebrate my recent success and finally finish binge-watching my favorite series, "Never Have I Ever."

Just as I was about to dig in, a loud, exuberant voice erupted from the sitting room, belting out, "Love me like you do, love love love love me like you do, kiss me like you do, kiss kiss kiss me like you do, what are you waiting forrrrrrrrr!" It was my best friend and flatmate, the queen of drama, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes, accustomed as I was to her theatrical antics.

"Girlllll, who got you singing like this?" I called out, stepping into the living room. She was always hyped up over nothing, convinced that every new guy was her soulmate, only to find herself sobbing in the bathroom a couple of weeks later, cursing the same "final bus stop."

"Girllll, this guy I went on a date with is my future husband! He's just a perfect gentleman and he's into finance!" she exclaimed, practically bouncing with excitement. "I'm looking for a man in finance, 6ft, trust fund, blue eyes!" With that, she launched into another song, this one a popular TikTok sound.

"Girl, can you believe he gave me roses when he picked me up? He even opened the car door, the restaurant door, and pulled out my seat for me! Girllll, this is some perfect gentleman shit bruh!" Her enthusiasm was infectious, and for a moment, I found myself believing that maybe, just maybe, this could be the one.

"Oh my God, I am really happy for you, girlll!" I said, my excitement genuine as I shared in her joy. "But we have one little tinny winny problem," she said, squinting one eye and gesturing with her fingers to emphasize just how small the issue was.

"What is it?" I asked, curiosity piqued as I braced myself for the potential flaws of Mr. Perfect. "You know we met on a dating app, right?" she continued, and I couldn't fathom how that could possibly be a problem.

"And?" I pressed, eager to unravel this mystery. "And I have a date scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but I don't want to go because my Mr. Perfect asked for another date that same day, and I said yes, forgetting I already had plans," she explained, her voice tinged with frustration.

"Then just cancel the date with the other guy and go with Mr. Perfect Gentleman," I chimed in, my tone playful and sing-song, trying to show her how easily this could be resolved. My best friend and I were experts at dishing out nicknames and making light of any situation.

"I can't, Barbara! You can't cancel dates on the app; it's one of their rules and guidelines! And you know how wrong it is to stand someone up," she insisted, her eagerness to prove her point bubbling over. I was baffled, unsure of how to help her.

"So, what do you have in mind? Divide yourself into two?" I asked sarcastically. "Noo, Barbara, that's not what I mean!" she laughed, the tension easing a bit.

"That's why I need your help," she added, her eyes pleading. "Me? What do I have to do with this?" I countered, but silence fell as her gaze intensified. "Mely, what do you want me to do exactly?" I pressed again.

"I need you to go on the date with the other guy for me," she blurted out, her words rushing out as if she were trying to prevent herself from taking them back.

"What? Hell no! There is no way in the world I am going to do that," I shot back, my voice tinged with a mix of defiance and resignation. "Barbara, please! You haven't been on dates in ages! You don't even need to like him; just go there, sit down, enjoy your meal, and come back. Please, just do this for me!" she pleaded, her eyes wide with desperation.

"Girl, I don't even know him! What if he's a serial killer?" I countered, grasping at straws, trying to concoct excuses that might save me. "And I'm busy with work," I added, hoping to validate my reluctance further.

"Barbara, nobody is going to kill you in a restaurant with other diners present! And next tomorrow is a Sunday, for crying out loud! It's a freaking weekend! You're supposed to take a break from work, girl! Go out there and live a little for goodness' sake! It won't even be up to two hours, and the date will be over.

Then you can come back and bury your face in that damn computer as usual!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm infectious, and for a moment, I began to see her point. "Okay, fine, I will..." I started, but before I could finish, she leaped onto me in a burst of excitement.

"Girllll, I love you! You're my everything!" she broke into another song, her joy infectious. "But under one condition," I continued, trying to keep a straight face. "What is it? Anything!" she exclaimed, her enthusiasm palpable.

"Promise that you won't pull this trick on me again?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "Girllll, never in my life again!" she laughed, and the sound was like music, easing my reluctance just a bit more.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

One Night With The Wrong Brother

I thought I was waking up in the arms of Arthur, the man I loved. But as the morning light hit the Hamptons estate, the man buttoning his cuffs by the window turned around with eyes like chips of ice. It was Augustus Riddle, Arthur’s cruel younger brother, and I had just spent the night whispering confessions of love into the wrong man's ear. The night I thought was a beautiful beginning turned into a devastating nightmare. Instead of comfort, Gus treated me like a stain on his expensive carpet, scribbling a check for "services rendered" before shoving me into a dark service corridor to hide my existence from his brother. "How much does it cost to buy your silence?" He sneered, before leaving me barefoot in a torrential downpour while he drove away in a luxury Cadillac. Four years later, I am a struggling actress in Los Angeles, working double shifts as a barista just to keep the lights on. My life was finally stable until my roommate dragged me to a high-end dinner to meet her new "influential" boyfriend. The man sitting at the table, looking more arrogant and lethal than ever, was Augustus. He spent the entire night humiliating me, calling me a pathetic amateur and a social climber in front of my only friends. When I fled into the rain and collapsed on the sidewalk, skinning my knee until I bled, he watched from his car. He saw me clutching a plastic baggie containing the taped-together pieces of that four-year-old check—the only proof of my shame. He looked at me like roadkill, rolled up his window, and drove off into the dark. I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why did he hate me enough to crush me, yet remember that I couldn't handle the smell of cigarette smoke? Why did he leave me bleeding in the street, only to send expensive medical supplies and coffee to my door the very next morning? "I'm moving out." I told my roommates, realizing that Gus Riddle didn't just want to destroy me; he wanted to haunt me. I grabbed my suitcase and walked out with eighty dollars to my name, finally ready to disappear into the city before he could burn the rest of my life to the ground.
